Help out a fellow art student!

I got an email from Hannah, who made this hilarious toast for the Toast Art Contest.  She said:

Since the phrase “nothing ventured, nothing gained” has been ringing true for me so far, I thought I’d ask a favor.

A little over a week ago, I got an email from Upromise, a company that helps college students pay off their loans. Well, this pretty much explains what happened.

I managed to get an animated entry submitted just in time:

If you can vote for me, that would be great! Even if you don’t want to vote, bumping up the view count helps out too!

Much thanks,
-Hannah

Especially in this economy, it’s hard enough to have an art career without starting off already in debt.  I thought the animation was pretty funny and well done.  I encourage everyone to give a fellow artist a boost! =)

Oekaki drawing!

Even if I don’t reply to every comment, I do read them all.  If you have a website attached to your comment, I usually check it out!  Today I went to Sen’s website following a link from her comment, and I noticed her oekaki looked a little bare.  So I drew a little pic for her!  Click the pic to go to her main website, which has a link to her oekaki boards. =)

Pixiv, and reverse Weeaboo

I’ve been on this site for about a year now, and I still can’t get over how much COOL STUFF is on it.  Imagine a Japanese version of deviantart… only most of the drawings there are really GOOD.  I was browsing around today and found some really cool drawings when I tried searching the “カートゥーン” (“cartoon”) tag.  Lots of American cartoon fanart, drawn by Japanese artists.  Some of them are better than the original art.

I’m sure you know TONS of non-Japanese people who are obsessed with anime… but did you ever see art by Japanese people obsessed with CARTOONS!? XD

To view images fullsize and be able to bookmart artists/artworks, you need to make an account.  This can be a little confusing, as the site is only in Japanese.  Fortunately, someone has made an easy guide:

Just be sure to keep the porn filter ON if you aren’t interested in having your childhood destroyed.  No character is safe on this site… not even the underage ones. (Especially not the underage ones. D: )  Nonetheless, AWESOME stuff.  I’m especially awed by the amazing use of color so many of the artists here show.  It’s extremely creative and just… mmmm, tasty.  CANDY COLOR!  I love it.

Thank you to my referrers! And progress on translations:

I should have mentioned this long ago (in fact, I thought I had, but apparently I never finished the post. I was distracted by something shiny!) but a large part of my viewers are referred here thanks to a plug and link from Menage a 3. Thank you Giz and Dave!  I owe you guys bigtime.

I’d also like to thank Megan from Yu+Me for mentioning Sister Claire on her livejournal.

Of course, if  you are reading this and you HAVEN’T heard of these comics, they are really worth checking out. =)

Also, to those of you who are helping me with the French/Spanish/other language versions:

I haven’t forgotten!  I’m just struggling to do way too many things at the same time.  I will get back to all of you as soon as I can.  The main problem now is that although I have translations for almost everything, I don’t have the time to actally edit them into my pages.  I’ll get around to it as soon as I can. =)

Sister Claire’s first review!

by Yamino on January 10, 2009 at 4:13 pm

Thanks to MeggyC of FilteredFuzz (which is, incidentally, a fabulous comic full of cute creatures which Sister Claire herself would love) I learned that I received my first little promo/review over at www.thewebcomicslist.com! Thank you for letting me know, and thank you xerexes for the kind review!  I really appreciate it. =)

In other news, I don’t know about you, but I was kind of bummed out the last couple of weeks because searching my website title on Google came up all kinds of random things, none of them being my comic.  But LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TODAY HOLY CRAP.

It’s interesting to know that there IS a real life Sister Claire.  I should tell her about my story. XD

Obatala – the Drunk Creator

by Yamino on December 14, 2008 at 11:35 pm

Advised by a friendly chameleon, he lowered the chain over the edge of heaven, climbed down, and tossed the lump of mud into the primeval sea. The chicken hopped onto the mud and began scratching it in all directions.

I love reading creation myths. I have to say this is one of the weirdest I have ever seen.

My favorite part: If you ever wondered why humans aren’t quite as perfect as they should be, here’s the answer: he was drunk at the time. So now you know.

I love it. Also, check this out: The Godchecker Holy Hit Parade!” It’s a popularity contest for gods… rofl.
