   It just got cut off...
For some reason, the beginning of my last post got cut off - I think. It was cut off when my brother was looking at my site.

I visited the Art Institue of Portland today because they were having an open house. It was nice, but big. The director of the animation program was the director/producer of Pinky and the Brain! I know you people probably aren't much into U.S. animation, but I think that's pretty cool.

We also went to Powell's, and I got a REALLY cute little notepad with a little Japanese (not anime-style, really) cartoon girl named Kuroe. I really want to do some "Asylum" art, so I'll list the characters here and you can tell me who to draw! PLEASE tell me who to draw because I need a requet. I NEED it!

Asylum Characters (note that this story is set in the late 19th or early 20th century):

Jun Lian Wei - A Chinese man and a detective investigating murders where insanity was a factor. He has come to the conclusion that - aside from the insanity in general - all the cases he has worked on have a connetion: an organization called "ASYLUM" that intentionally causes people to go insane and commit heinous acts. I know, a crazy idea, right? Well, that's just what ASYLUM hopes people will think.

Charlotte Abbott - a young English woman who is a victim of ASYLUM. She has been convinced by Jun Liang to help him track down this terrible group. Due to the high amount of insanity surrounding her life, Charlotte has taken up the recent study of psychology.

Siegfried Bishop - a young man who, like Charlotte, is also a victim of ASYLUM. He also joins Jun Liang in his chase of ASYLUM and close following of their activities. Siegfried's occupation is as of yet undecided, but he does have some medical skills.

Bossa - A very young girl whom the group meets as they investigate ASYLUM. They find her locked up in a dark room in the back of the mansion of Madame Orsani - a woman driven to madness by ASYLUM. Bossa is believed by Orsani to be a demon child, and Jun Liang believes that Orsani may have killed Bossa's mother. Although the Liang has a shelter for ASYLUM victims, he asks Bossa to travel with his group for his own reasons.

Other items that appear in Asylum are the asylum flowers, which drive anyone who smells them mad, and the devil's clock, a symbol consisting of a spiral with two arrows - like a clock's hands - pointing to a "6" and a "25." These numbers are believed to be evil and hold some special significance, although there is debate over what the numbers represent.

I'm really excited about working on this story! The title is subject to change, but the characters and story are not. So... just gimme a request for art from this, my other stories, or any other anime/manga/game that happens to be listed on my favorites list - besides Deathnote, because I think it would be hard to draw anyone from it since the style is more realistic than most manga. Ja ne!
