Fan art is so much fun to root through, partly because that’s how a lot of artists get their start initially. I know I got started by copying Dragonball Z characters and then following that with the Gundam Wing style because I felt like that fit me more. I’m still discovering my style and will…

I haven’t always included promotional art for my challenges, but I think that, if there’s enough of it out there, I’m going to have this be another one of those staple topics that I cover. As an artist myself who is planning on doing cover art for my own stuff (I know, I’ll probably change…

A few days ago, I said that I really wished Daley Wong had been allowed to have a boyfriend or husband. Sure, all the hints lead to Priss being a lesbian – who has no issue leading a man (aka Leon) along to get information she needs for her vigilante job – but she at…

I mentioned this before in an early post, but ugh, it still creeps me out because I think it was featured in almost every episode: Mackie’s lecherous obsession with his sister’s boobs. Or just catching her in her underwear. I’m an anime person, and I am aware of the Japanese obsession with panties (although it’s…

Yay, a quick and easy one! The subbed version is the superior by far. The dubbed version is quite possibly one of the worst examples of voice acting that I can find, just after the original cast for Akira. From the pronunciation of Genom – it’s GEN-um, not gen-NOM or jen-NOM, GOD – to just…

I am honestly unsure as to what I meant when I said I would be discussing the hardsuits. Past Me can be inscrutable. I mean, for those who don’t know, the hardsuits are basically one anime’s answer to Iron Man? But you can tell they’re for girls because high heels (hardcore eyeroll here). But here’s…

You know, I don’t think you’re ever prepared to see Saturn’s return. Every 25 years or so, everything sort of returns to its default setting, and you have to deal with the shit you hadn’t or have been avoiding or didn’t even realize you were struggling with. My 25th year of life was 2009, but…

Oooooh ooooh ooooh, I know I just mentioned that I forgot what today’s challenge was, but now I’m excited! Because I absolutely love this topic. Blade Runner to this day remains one of my favorite movies, even if it is incredibly problematic (see: Rachel and Deckard’s relationship). I regularly listen to Vangelis’ soundtrack, and I…

So I missed yesterday for school reasons – that care plan wasn’t going to write itself, and it was a doozy – but I’ll be making that up today. Now, it’s way easier to show you rather than tell you what my favorite fight scene is, but after the video, I’ll discuss it a little…
