Sensual, classic, artistic. You are Gackt.


Which J-rocker are you?

Yay, I got Gackt too! (But of course! Nice to know there's no change there... ;3)

Been mega-hectic since Minami... would you believe I've been entertaining guests all of last week? Well, there was C's sis kat, and then Chibi J came over to stay (who's back on a break from her studies in Japan... she heads back on Wednesday). We had a great time! I must mention the fact that she brought her chipped PS2 with her, along with a copy of the new 3D Castlevania game (sweeeeet) and... *fanfare* BUJINGAI!! (the Taito game with added Gackt) It's loads of fun! Someone give it a western release, puh-lease~~! Quite instinctive to play, and you can run along walls a la Prince of Persia, as well as fly around to an extent. I had fun chopping up bamboo forests, too. ^-^ Gackt is superhuman, after all - he can do just about anything! LOL. The character isn't meant to be Gackt himself, actually... he's just modelled on him, voiced by him and had his motion capture done from him. Just to clarify!

On Saturday was the UK Web & Mini-Comix Thing. It was okay... did my portfolio workshop thing, and at one point I was pretty much inundated with activity! I was surprised how people actually wanted to talk to me... I think having my portfolios and pictures out helped somewhat, though. Took some T-shirts along... sold one! Better than selling none, and let's face it - ppl weren't going there to buy T-shirts, they were there to buy comics. Overall turn-out was so-so. Saw Ashe there with the Moonwolf table - apparently they booked up for the event at the last minute so we were surprised to see each other... guess he didn't realise I was one of the guests! I did a couple of doodles while I was there... nothing much though, wasn't like ppl were requesting anything. I gave one chibified character pic to a nice girl who bought the one VK-UK T-shirt we sold! She was asking me about chibi drawing techniques and suggested that I do some tutorials on the subject. Since I'm not that experienced in tutorials and I feel there's a lot of good 'how-to' reference out there already (I recommended Ben Krefta's book!), I just scribbled something and gave it to her. She was really chuffed! Incidentally, her table had a load of hand-made Azumanga-style neko hats as well as comic stuff, which was pretty cool! ^_^ The venue for the event was pretty interesting, BTW - an old octagonal library, with a pretty domed ceiling and busts of famous scholars and philosophers mounted around the walls. Cool. ^_^
So... I bought a handfull of comics at the event but overall we made a bit of a loss attending. As things are I don't think I'd be in a hurry to do it again, unless they decided to pay their guests or something (that's right, I did this on a voluntary basis). I'd got up at 6:30am in order to travel up... fortunately we were heading up London way anyway to drop Chibz back home, but yeah - we were completely and utterly knackered by the time it was all over with. Probably would have done better there if I'd actually had some comics to sell, but that's my own fault for not having any (yet)! ^-^;;

Kitty Knives is 'buzzinating' me now, so it's difficult to type (he climbs onto me and clings on like a monkey puppet, purrs loudly in my ear and tries to eat my eyes, haha). Eww, I'm covered in neko-dribble again, LOL. Well, I think I've covered enough news for now anyway. Ja~~

mood: okay
