Pip pip! Nana's trapped on an island Police State.

Nana Global Love Project: UK

Oh, Nana. What have you become?

It seems that the Nana Global Love Project is back on track again, so maybe I should remake that signup and rules page... though I sort of suspect that readership is now so small that this kind of thing can be managed casually on the forum. Just post in a thread and ask for Nana and explain why you deserve to get her. Sar wil decide who to send her to. If Sar chooses you, Nana stays with you for two weeks, then you mail her out to someone of your choosing.

Also, new stuff:

Top Pic: Facebird Forest
Landscape: Ynna's Castle

I say "new", but the top pic is really several days old -- I've just been too lazy to make a proper post about it. There's other stuff I need to upload, but it'll require some new pages and shuffling existing ones, so I'll leave that for the weekend. Also, I want to play more Persona 3. SCHOOLAN GAEMS.

In other news, Alan Bao, a student taking a Visual Language course, put together this little story a while ago. I think it's quite nice -- perhaps you'd like to give it a read as well:

Deviantart: Chasing Dawn

... Anyway, I've hit "the groove" so expect updates to occur with (some) frequency again.

Oh, I'm not going to Otakon this year, by the way. I'll be at Gen Con (and maybe San Diego Comic Con), though. Ah, *con season... seems like the right time to release something. Hm. Hmmmmm.

Rectangles of despair.
These top pictures just keep on getting bigger.

T42R: 267-269

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Also, Fanart.

Fanart: Nana, T42R (Thanks, Shawn!)

I love getting art. There's probably more in my inbox. I need to dig through that thing some more.

I still need to overhaul the fanart and Clone Games sections. I'll probably do that in a day or two.

About halfway through my email.

Horo is moe. Lafiel is still better.

Translation and Talk

Metal Fist is going to be either awesome or horrible. I can't tell which, yet.

Metal Fist Illustrations: 000, 001

Basically, I'm fed up with moe. Moeblobs. Tsunderes. Blind girls, deaf girls. Older, younger and sick moe sisters. Borderline "are they, aren't they" lesbians. Girls with glasses, vampires, mechanical girls, dolls, school girls, harem shows, retarded towns filled with retarded down-syndrome girls with MAGICAL RAINBOW MIRACLES that can only be brought about with HOT DICKINGS. I'm sick of it all.

Anyway. There's plenty of good stuff out there (like Nijigahara Holograph, for example) but not nearly enough of it. I've been wondering if injecting some of that sensibility into otherwise tired genres can save them...

I'm going to try a bit of an experiment with Metal Fist. I'm going to see if I can take the two most moe genres ('magical girls' and 'harem'), strip out the moe, the fail, flip off the usual limits and devices (turn up the violence levels, turn off world-saving, turn off the existence of human-centric saviors and enemies, costumes, transformations, fated encounters, magical wands, fighting to save the people, etc.) and then inject some hate and grit and see if I can't turn it into something good.

It'll work is this: I'll pretend it's a real series and make two chapter-long releases: one from the middle of the first imagined season and one from the middle of an imagined sequel. The meat of the story isn't very important in this case -- the point of the experiment is to see if the broad outline of the thing has any potential value. If it does, and the flavour of the thing is fresh, we'll have something interesting on our hands. If not, we'll have an awesome pile of epic fail available for Solomon's pleasure.

After (and in-between) Metal Fist, we have:
1. A story about a mother on a supernatural guilt trip
2. Two girls on a boat in the arctic in the distant future
3. A (surprisingly not-100%-depressing) nostalgia piece
4. Maria's Sea in 3 parts (which has morphed into a sad mother/daughter piece)
5. Something that's best described as a "shut-in fairy tale", I guess.
6. A short mermaid/abuse story with a Lovecraftian flavour
7. A few other shorts

Well. That's where we stand for 2008. Look forward to it. Or not.

Delicious translations follow.

April & May (Spanish): 1-66
(Thanks, Odralon!)

Ah, I love getting translations. It always makes me happy!
Fanart and HH next time.

Oh, and here's your 2007 summary: Fail and Shit. Causes: Shuster, Laziness, Entangling Alliances, Moe, Personal Failure.

I Cook my own Pasta

I dreamt that I was her hat.
I rode her head everywhere.
Outside. Inside. Over hills and over fences.
It was the most beautiful dream that I ever had.
When I woke up and realized that I could never be the hat, I was filled with a sadness that I had never felt before.

tl;dr: I wish to be the hat.

Commercial Works: up! (some reposts)
Junk: updated (delicious Snax within?)

There are some interesting aborted to pictures in there, too.

You know, I get back home by around 8PM, and by the time I get half of my todo list done, it's already 1 AM...

That's another item to add to that review: break those todo lists into smaller pieces.
I'll add that to my todo list...

I am puking rainbows!

Late for work! I didn't finish the commercial works page yesterday. I'll finish it tonight, as promised, along with the comics.

The commercial works page will be filled with stuff like this, so hopefully it'll be worthwhile. Well, at the very least, it's content of some kind.
