Spurned on by posts from RunningKid, I too thought, ‘Hey, I can go outside during the summer as well, going into London and do some shopping like I used to…’ Well, I did go outside but I just popped out to Illford closer to the outskirts of London. But I sniffed out a Waterstones and quickly found the manga. I’ve found myself buying less manga recently which worries me so I bought another 6; vol. 13-14 of Negima (yay!) and vol. 1-4 of Rurouni Kenshin (‘cause it’s a great classic and they didn’t have vol. 2 of Fruits Basket and yet had all the rest up to 14 :S ). A good haul that cost me less than expected.
However, manga wasn’t the only reason I was out about in the sun (even though it was all overcast, and it even rained… stupid British weather), as I made way to an art store that saw me through my graphic design days, and took the plunge and got me a traditional nib dip pen and ink.
I’ve been drawing for a while but just haven’t shown off anything really except the odd thing or two that I inked half-assedly. Well, I’m am going to try and improve now and get some artwork done. Sadly this may take me a while, as seen above, I will need some practise with the pen to actually get a good effect. (strangely enough I worked upwards on the page :S )
Above is one of my best works which is still sadly pencil. From the stage of getting this inked and scanned is my biggest roadblock at the moment, but I’m working on it and hopefully, I can grow as an artist past the drawing some pretty pictures stage. Making a web comic/manga of my own would be marvellous. Here’s hoping XD
Watch this space and my deviant art account because the dream has never looked closer to me than ever before.
Summary: [Code Geass] Saying the wrong thing at the wrong time leaves Lelouch in a real pinch, but with a whole score of girls after him, maybe it’s not so bad. Maybe. [LelouchxHarem]
Yuh, I did it. Ever since seeing episode 22 and certain blog posts on it and certain parody images. like the one below, I had this idea in my head for this and even before that, after seeing the infamous h-game opening I’ve had ideas for a harem fic as well. And me being the lazy sod that I am decided, ‘Why not just merge the ideas together?’ After much bother, the first chapter was born and I barrel my way back into fan fictions after way too long. Hope to do more, and this along with my other works can be found here
Now on with the story XD

Alright, I lied, I drew some wierd chibis before and I have alot of school books loaded with doodles, but this is the first one I can say I honestly like it and can showcase it.
Anime is Code Geass, done in 10 minutes, then did a redraft to which I penned it, scanned it and wahey. Now, I’m thinking I might need a better pen or I have a lousy scanner… I’m thinking the second one. I thought the first draft was actually better but I’m too lazy to do anything else now. First draft didn’t have CC which I don’t think I got right at the angle I drew but meh, I believe I got the point across. Zero’s arm under that cloak is way too long now that I look at it but oh well, hopefully I’ll get better. I’m having fun getting to grips with penning my work and scanning them and hope to produce more sketches over time. Comments and criticism greatly appreciated XD
Just thought I’ld get this out there before I nod off… It’s 12.30 in the morning here in the UK. Man, my sleep pattern is so weird =P
