Pun totally intended, and no, we've had pretty good weather this week so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the sunshine will hold until Sunday for my trip to the Manila BookFair/Best of Anime con at SMX with my sister and osmalic.

This post will just be pictures and random bits of commentary. I'm zoning out and I have to do two straight shifts later!



( Quality's kind of off. Sorry about that )

BTW, just in case anyone wants new icons I can, uh, make them for you. Samples of some icons I made for people over at the RL/SS comm are here and here. Just give me a link to the picture you want to be iconed, I guess.

...my God is it true that Blind_Go's deadline is in a couple of days?!

*waves* Definitely a case of long time, no post going on here.

First up: pimping some challenges.

• Blind Go, the Hikaru no Go guess-the-writer challenge, is at its tenth iteration. Yes you saw it right. TENTH. Sign ups are until Sept 10 here, with the theme Sai. Minimum wordcount is 250 words, with no maximum wordcount limit. And if you're insane, you can submit up to ten fics. :D
  
  
• If you're new to my f-list, you might not know I ship Severus Snape with Remus Lupin of the HP-verse. (It's okay if you don't ship it, I won't try to convert you or anything!) We're having a Snupin Santa sign up post until Aug 24, and we've got less than 30 signups. That means we're not going to have entries enough for a month! *cries manly tears* Sign ups on lj can be found here, and on insanejournal here. I'm participating this year, which means that whoever is my recipient will be getting art. Lots of art, really. I have evil plans.
  

Con season's starting in my country - or did it even end? I'm not sure - but the more interesting cons usually happens on the second half of the year. This picspam is of MetroComicon, which in itself acts like a preview to the goodness of the November Komikon.


This was just posted as the preview pic for fun. Because I want you to try guessing who this is before you see the answer under the cut.

( Metro Comicon, which made me happy, because most of the stuff there were indie. )

Random Severus drabble, with implied Severus => Lily. And it's exactly a hundred words! *shocked*

( Again. )

EDIT Ace Attorney Investigations Miles Edgeworth added to the good old Gyakuten Saiban pimp post. Uploaded on 4shared because mediafire is hating on me.

Thanks to all those who showed concern over my last post - I'm trying to be healthier by eating and sleeping right, even to the point that I slept through the Tousei vs Nishiura match in Oofuri O_o;;; Ah, darn it, I think I'll have to go back and start from the 3rd inning again!

Discovery of the week Google docs can be used at work - but not gmail. What the heck. This does mean that I can view and edit files at work, which is always good when it comes to fandom-y stuff and clearing up my office inbox. It would be fun if Ariri-nee could access google docs too and we can edit death games. Chapter 3 is still pending, omg how long had it been!? ^_^;;;; Ariri-nee move over to technical support so you can browse non-business related sites lololol.


Y-yeah quicky sketch of Ochi and Shindou. This sketch is missing two people because I didn't have time to finish their drawings. Guess who those other two are. :)


Current art WIP is Kyodoroki, a colored version of this rough sketch and I think I didn't get Kyouya's expression right. I rather prefer the one from the sketch. *sigh*


( Some hand-crafted items a test top hat and a devilish poring? )

My first attempt at a screencapped comic for GE. He really does look like Will Turner. =_=

I don't know why, but Phoenix Wright: Justice for All seems LONGER than any of the other games. Maybe because I'm still at the 3rd game and I'm wondering how Max could have hidden Trilo by the trophy cabinet when Trilo ended up testifying he was somewhere else in court. R-right. I got confused by it. Also, a working download link for it on mediafire, since the old one wouldn't unzip properly.

I've already reported on LO over at tanggero but I can't really gush about the one event I got to see, which is the Butler Cafe. Butlers, cute, tall, attentive butlers! Serving the princesses (?) and 1 prince on our table.

Our table's butler Miku, who was a crowd favorite according to Rui.


( moar butlers, and some things that should look familiar to all who were there. )

I may have mentioned this to people on AIM and gmail, but I found a set of weird covers by rock bands online and I've been having fun with it. I mean, where else can you hear rockers sing Genie in a Bottle without flinching? d(^_^)b I'm still upping them, but look at this section after a bit for more music. Also, some mellow Bon Jovi.

( music is more music? )

Also. er. Right.

Happy birthday, smokin' bomb.

First, a tribute:

Oh my wonderful bamboo!


( Let me introduce the new dog in the house )

This is the part mierin_lanfear is probably waiting for.

( On to her majesty's crown, and a failed attempt at being scientific! )

Because nothing can cheer you up better than photo ops in the middle of a call.

I'l be working on my first entry for daily_deviant and I might need an art beta for it. Half of it is intended to be worksafe, soooo - anyone open for perviness? If you can only beta the worksafe half I will also be grateful. I need all the help I can get.
