This is my permanent top entry, because I'm like that.
I cannot believe that as soon as I sat down to fill in my profile I forgot everything anime-related. Oooops. I'm here to lurk, and maybe post drawings once I have them produced. Always want to draw comics but never do it.
I like bizarrerie and villains a lot of the time, despite a deep respect for the Straight and Normal. I think that latter is why I like stuff like AzuDai and Haruhi Suzumiya, and why I like Dutch painting. It's about the everyday, in its own odd way. But the good everyday - the moments that make you value your existence and want to pass it on in hordes of children, and somehow outweigh (at least for me) the shit moments when you start to wonder how to get hold of a doomsday device.
But, once my practice time is over, in the pipeline:
1) Two-page comic spread that's been itching my mind for years, but I haven't taken any time to work on it. One-shot about a boy fighting in the Sacred Heart Rebellion in 1790s France. It's got a "Samurai Warriors 2 ending" quality of story, but I'm just wanting to get my poor Nicolas's last act of devotion on paper and out of my brain.*
ETA 10.10.07: Progress: Layout 80% finished. Anticipate it being done, except for coloring, by December. Coloring will be done at a later date, as I'm painting the background in.
2) GyakuSai one-shot comics. Length TBD, because all I know is I want to do them. Mostly gen-ish, occasionally shippy (though in most cases you'd have to squint). Prefer Miles and the von Karmas, though also just like lawyers in general.
I think I'm one of the few people who finds KaruMitsu relevant to her interests that doesn't actually *like* the idea of the pairing existing. It's like, I like Miles, I like his new family, I'm interested in the structure of their relationships, which may well include KaruMitsu, but any way I look at it which would make any kind of sense, it's abuse. In a way, it's an OTP, but it's not something I could ever squee over. Rather, it's an "I think this is what happened, and that's just how it is" OTP. Just because something is true doesn't mean you have to like it.
* I think I stuck around the series after the first look because 1) Miles was pretty, and 2) My dad's a lawyer. I think I'm still around despite not having a DS until the end of '07 because Manfred von Karma is SO DAMN HOT.
And that's all I can think of coming down. If you want to know anything else, ask.
