20 Years of Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi! (Watercolor Drawing)

Image
Happy 20th Anniversary to this awesome Cartoon Network show that I barely remembered as a kid! I started on this watercolor drawing on 11/6 and finished on 11/7! I watched all of the series at the beginning of November from 11/3-11/6 and enjoyed all 3 seasons. Wish there was a fourth, but the series was cancelled in 2006.

I got interviewed for the first time!

Image
  I was interviewed about my comic, SaGia! Go check it out and thank you, Comix Well Spring! At 1:07, I said Draken. I meant Drakenoids! I easily get the 2 mixed up. If you want a better synopsis, it’s on the official SaGia website. ;) My brain was all over the place during this interview! I was nervous, but luckily, the interview was short!

These plushies rock! | Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi Rock Out Plushies Review

Image
I barely have any childhood memories of Puffy AmiYumi, but the only thing I remember was the CN logo after the end credits (it will show up in Japanese then switch to the regular CN logo). I was in high school, and I was watching old Cartoon Network promos. And PAY was in the collection of promos. I was like, “do I remember this show?”. So, I watched the first episode. And immediately loved it. I searched for any merch out there and discovered the Rock Out Ami plush.  I haven’t watched the rest of PAY, but I plan to start over and get a refresher on previous episodes I’ve seen since I haven’t watched it for years after high school. I’ll start watching it after I finish up Code Lyoko. If you don’t know this show, I’ll give you a brief summary: this cartoon series is based on a real Japanese duo called PUFFY. They sang the theme song to Teen Titans & TT GO. I guess the only thing I remember is that they go on crazy adventures with their band manager, Kaz on a tour bus. Despite on...

My thoughts on AI as a whole: I don’t like it.

October is almost here, I recently purchased an ISBN for Volume 1 of SaGia, and while I finish up Volume 2 of SaGia (now working on Chapter 9 as I was finished with 8 yesterday), I want to make a short post about AI and my thoughts about it as an artist, voice actress, and author. I previously talked about this in an old post of mine , but, I’ve been mostly quiet about it after that post until now.  Why? Because I’m afraid of talking about AI due to it being controversial. I was inspired by a post I read on Saturday. I feel like some social media places have been ruined due to AI. I’d say that Instagram or any other Meta platform is the worst offender because I remember hearing something about Meta using your data to train AI a while back and  some artists that I follow have left Instagram or no longer post and moved to a place called Cara. I’ve joined Cara as well because of some of my art friends being on there, but to be honest, it has issues and bugs sometimes and I regret...

Today was a good day.

I just posted on my Instagram about it, but I got my diploma in my email. I’m just waiting on it to get mailed to my address! And finally, hours after that email, I saw that my artworks were displayed at an art gallery (circled in image) as part of a Black Contemporaries project: the Tacoma Urban League! It’s my first time getting accepted at one. I thought I would be rejected, but nope! I will link the website below because I am on there. https://www.energizetacoma.org/blackcontemporaries Have a nice day! :)

TOMY does it again! | Pet and Talk Terapagos Review

Image
When I checked TOMY Japan's website to see if there was another talking Pokémon plush similar to the Sprigatito and Fuecoco plushies released last year (which I own), I saw a talking Terapagos based on the anime (which I've never seen when it the series came out but I've seen an image of Liko holding her Terapagos)! I was hoping that they would release Quaxly, but sadly, they never did. Based on the translated description of the website, it acts similar to the two plushies. Basically, if you talk, it will respond, has a special voice command and it has a special feature on the plush (Sprigatito's feature was "petting" it's head (I tried saying it's Japanese name because some sites claim that if you say its name, it will react in a special way but it doesn't) and Fuecoco's was rubbing it's stomach and it had two commands: Hogeta (JP name for Fuecoco) and Hinoko (Ember in Japanese)).  I bought it from an eBay seller as a pre-order instead of ...
