Lots of pages lots of EPIC oh, Odacchi . THIS CHAPTER. Again. This chapter and last chapter and this started uuuuuh... maybe five months ago, this fight? And it is still getting more awesome . I feel ...

BWAH oh zoro

...unless looking at the One Piece Data File books (in Japanese!) counts as studying, I am procrastinating. AGAIN. (Please chase me off if you see me around when I could be productive . Like now. ) But! They have interesting stuff! Like this map of East Blue! Which shows Fuusha is an island right next to the Red Line - possibly close enough that the "mountains" mentioned in Ch 0 (and where ...

December first

The weather today was good . I went up early. I did stuff . I went out biking, for 45 minutes, in the most gorgeous autumn weather. I couldn't believe it was December first, and my little town was glowing with color and light. I am being very good and studying for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test on Sunday (one week's study for a 4-hour test... oops ), so that is keeping me occupied, ...

A post in wherein Naye babbles randomly

... just as I was standing there, too. So I caught that one as well, and she was very grateful, and I was very perplexed about who has been sending subliminal messages to the roaches to stalk naye ! . Also, Gintama makes me laugh out loud, NCIS makes me squee, and Castle is just too damn adorable. Now it is raining soothingly, and I've gotten my brain mostly empty of words, and my heart ...

And another painting!

Ahh, it is so very nice to have whole days in which to get stuff done - including fun stuff! Like doing a whole new picture. This one - I got the image into my head, and then I couldn't shake it. It is very much inspired by Chapter 0 and the Marinford arc. (Ah, Odacchi. How do you keep doing this to my heart...?!) PREVIEW: FAMILY (赤ちゃんとジジイ) Garp with baby Ace in ...

Artbit - Une

I've been sitting on this a couple of days, fighting off Negative Hollows (evil, evil things - I do not wish I had been born a sea squirt!). In the end, I think she turned out quite well, and was worth the insane time it took to draw her. PREVIEW: Portgas D. Une Ink & watercolor pencils + color adjustment in the Gimp. Manga references used. Feedback is used to smack ...

One Piece CHAPTER 0

This is how awesome our fandom is: we get an origin story. Origin story . Because our creator has a whole world in his head, and is having a blast sharing a little bit more of it with us. My love for One Piece. It is epic . Kind of like Chapter 0. Where do I even start? Pretty much EVERY SINGLE PANEL made me squee, or flail, or shout and then go OHSHIT because - late; neighbors . ...

d'awww

...and this is why i have so many moments of i love my job .
