As you can tell, I hardly update my DA journal as much anymore. Hometown is completely gone and so is all the B'z scans. T_T Sorry to all those who just stumbled across my page expecting scans...

So what have I been up to?
Well, working mostly, made some lovely new friends, had a couple of reunions, gone to a few events (Video Games Live and Play.com), been posting a little more on my LJ, brought a wii and have been playing a few games on that. It's also been a very family orientated year this year.
I setup a Rock Holmes club~ . You can go check it out for fan art, scans and such (Currently have some Black Jack scans, screenshots and wallpapers up there). =3

Art wise, I have been drawing, but most of it isn't exactly worthy to be posted up here as they are largely of sketches.

Christmas for me was pretty eventful, all I can say is that it is a pretty unusual Christmas. Think drama.

Anyway, that's all I feel like saying for now. Expect more of my infrequent visits and updates on DA. XD; Hope you all had a good Christmas and wish you all a good start to the New Year!

Merry Christmas all!

I haven't really prepared any Xmas art here for DA, but I do have something for B'z fans to enjoy!

B'z 18th album, "Action"
cover: [link]
My favorite B'z album cover so far! *^o^*

Favorite songs (Some are downloadable for your listening pleasure~!♥ ) :
► Junjou Action
► Perfect Life (Most favorite song in this album by far! <3)
► Friction (Completely in English. Like it more after figuring the lyrics, "Uncivilized this modern world, Feed the poor with empty words, They're just killing time and thinking no one would mind")
► Isshinfuran
► Nanto Iu Shiawase (Also awaiting the English translated lyrics. <3)
► Ore To Omae No Atarashi Kitesu
► Buddy (Mew! Love this muchly!)

Oh, and those of you who have or haven't noticed. I have organized all my art into folders, so if you're looking for all my Sonic art or B'z fan comics, then you don't have to browse through all the pages of my gallery!

Has it been 9 months since my last journal entry here? O_o;
Wow...
Yes, it's an update, but not exactly the start of a frequent return (sorry guys!). But today is special (3rd of November 1928) as it's Tezuka Osamu's Birthday!
I remember hearing Tezuka being called the "God of Manga", and at the time thinking that it was so farfetched of a title for him. But the more I learn about Tezuka and his work the more fitting this title is! He just about covered every genre (yes, shonen ai too!)
There's also been a lot of good news lately. Vertical are planning on translating the entire Black Jack manga series next year (FINALLY!!! *________*), there's an Astro Boy movie in the works by IMAGI, there's been exceedingly good reviews for "Ode to Kirihito" released in English (Again, thanks to Vertical) earlier this year, and some kind soul is willing to scanlate Vampire! Good news indeed!
And for this special occasion I have posted up a Black Jack and Makube fan comic, which you can read through in my gallery, and some mp3s from Sega's NDS game "Black Jack Hino Tori Hen"~! Enjoy! : [link]
(mp3 | 24 MB) Contains:

Title
Sapphire - CPRness
Mito Shinya (Midnight) - My most fave theme of the game~! Also used for Rock AKA Makube Rokuro's level (no matter how many times I play I could never get myself an S rank there. )
Onimaru Daizou - The teen who has a big crush on Megumi and wants Black Jack to rid of the tattoos on his body.
Rock (Makube Rokuro) - Not played in the game, but you can purchase the theme from Kenichi's shop.
30 Patients
Tezuka Osamu - Yes, the God of Manga himself!
Black Jack - Sega's own theme for Black Jack.
Dorusuchin Z - Final stage! Also love this theme!
