I've pretty much decided to go for the Intuos 4 now since everybody seems to be pushing for it xD Thank you guys so much for your input!

[May 11, 2009]

I was thinking about buying a new pen tablet because I've been using mine for like 4-5 years now.. which I guess isn't that long since it could last up to 10 years, but the one I have right now is a Wacom CTE-430/B with the active area about 3.5 x 5in, so I've also been wanting a bigger size.

I did some research and found Intuos 4, so I thought about getting the medium sized one.. but 1) it's expensive and 2) forum.deviantart.com/hardware/… I dunno if my laptop can handle the pen tablet. I use Photoshop CS3, and I'm probably gonna buy Painter X or XI soon.

My PC spec:
Windows Vista Home Premium
VAIO VGN-NR160E
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5250 @ 3GHz, RAM 2GB

I might go buy an additional 2GB RAM chip soon btw.

Should I get an older version (Intuos 3) with a cheaper price, or go ahead and buy Intuos 4 with the added new features? Or Graphire, even. I mean, I'm pretty sure it'll be a big upgrade from the model I have right now either way.


Any suggestions?

<ramble>Roy doesn't sound right without Okawa Toru.. *cries blood* but that's just my opinion. I still like Miki Shinichiro though. ....Damn, I was up til now so that I MIGHT be able to find the first ep.. but no. ..Well, I wasn't really expecting to find it anyway lol. Guess I'll get to watch it when I come back from work tonight.. or maybe even tomorrow. Who knows. ..Ugh, I need to go sleep now.</ramble>

[Mar 27, 2009]

Opening theme song will be "Again" by YUI! Omgggg *spaz* www.aniplex.co.jp/hagaren/news…

Oh, and btw, you can install a FMA gadget onto your computer *3* It's in Japanese though of course lol. DL it here www.aniplex.co.jp/hagaren/spec…

[Mar 13, 2009]

FOURTH CM IS OUT!!! AS ALWAYS, YOU CAN WATCH IT AT THE FRONT PAGE OF THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE GO GO GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!! And you get to listen to a little clip of the theme song as well.

<my-personal-opinion>

I didn't really know about Sid, so I never wrote about them, but now that I do.. at least more than I did before:

No offense to Sid fans out there, but I wish they just used Pornograffitti agaaain.. even reusing Melissa would've been fine with me D: The idea of using an ex-visual kei band for the FMA theme song is just.. ...meh. I guess FMA's now one of those recent animes with popular visual kei band songs. Targeting girls again, eh, anime staff? Jeez you guys are trying oh-so-hard to make this anime so popular -__- (don't get me wrong--I'm happy that they're trying to make FMA popular; it's just that I don't like the method they're using)

But that's just my opinion. Whatever. At the end, it goes down to whether the song fits the anime or not anyway...

</my-personal-opinion>


[Mar 10, 2009]

www.aniplex.co.jp/hagaren/char…
More new chara designs! Scar actually looks like his age now lol (he was meant to look younger in the first series cos he was supposed to be like Ed's rival). Also, the anime staff and cast info is now available in the staff & cast page.


[Mar 7, 2009]

FMA NEW ANIME CASTS: www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/…
I could've updated this yesterday.. lololol I totally fail. Sorry guys.

LOL at the casts cos a lot of them are from Gundam 00 hahahaha not surprising though since FMA's gonna pick up for 00 when it ends.

Ueda Yuji as Jean Havoc this time! (FYI he played Kimblee in the first season) And HAHAHA HALLELUJAH!KIMBLEE HAHAHAHA BLOWING UP PEOPLE THIS TIME, EH? TANOSHIIYONAA ALLELUJAAH, ALLELUJAAAAHH!!!! ..Okay, sorry for the people who don't watch Gundam 00 lol I couldn't resist it (Yoshino Hiroyuki = Hallelujah in Gundam 00). Anyway, sucks that Okawa Toru isn't Roy anymore.. I'm probably gonna laugh when I first hear Miki Shinichiro cos I'm gonna think about Lockon (Gundam 00) and Kojiro (Team Rocket from Pokemon). Oh well, as long as the voices fit the charas, I'm not complaining.. I'll get used to it. At least the brothers and a few others are the same~ /o/

www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3… New game coming out for the Wii in Japan this summer! Damn, I might buy a Japanese Wii now lol.. or I can just get a Wii Key. Whatever.

Want more info? Go buy the Animedia March issue! www.yesasia.com/us/%E3%82%A2%E…
Must go buuuyy... maybe I can find it at the book store?

I need to start wandering around other informational sites more often.


[Mar 2, 2009]

www.aniplex.co.jp/hagaren/abou…
Ending theme song is going to be "嘘 (Uso/Lie)" by Sid!
Never heard of them before.. but then again, I'm pretty music-tarded, so that's not really surprising lol...


[Feb 24, 2009]

THIRD CM www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekQSpZ…

SDLFKAJSFDUUUGGHHHHDAMNIT I've been so late with the news.. how come the official website doesn't update these stuff? orz Anyway, here's the new cm! I guess they're gonna keep Roy's design as it is.. ........ ...eh, whatever..


[Feb 10, 2009]

SECOND SEASON ANIME WILL OFFICIALLY START ON APRIL 5TH, 2009


SDFLKJFASLDKFJ#@*(&@)(*@%dlsku(pw$*ejf HOLY SHIT.

I really should be studying for my classes, but I DON'T CARE HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Most of the links on the official site aren't working (just shows up as "coming soon"), but as for now, these tab pages are open:

- About: Introduction, Staff & Cast
- Characters
- Special: Trailer

Other news sites (Japanese):

Mixi News news.mixi.jp/view_news.pl?id=7…
My Com Journal journal.mycom.co.jp/news/2009/…


On another note: I was watching the second CM again and just realized that I didn't recognize the BGM *slow* I guess FMA will keep its orchestra music style?


<my-personal-opinion>

........ Is it only me who thinks the first season character designs were MUCH better? D: Don't get me wrong, I still appreciate the new designs too, no doubt about it--I like the more-manga-based style. But.. saldfjadk I guess I'm just too biased to determine that cos I'm an Ito Yoshiyuki fan myself (the first season character designer who also does the designs for Soul Eater). I'll probably get used to the new designs soon, hopefully..

But I just can't stand Roy's new design. </i>WTF?</i>

</my-personal-opinion>

----------

Okay, this section is just about my personal opinion and me whining, so don't read if you don't want to, and DON'T tell me to get over it cos I WON'T:


OTL


ADSFLKAJFKLDJ AHAHHHHHHAAAAAAAAASALFKJFDKLJ

I. want. to. cry. blood.


MUSIC ISN'T BY MICHIRU OOSHIMA. SALDKFJSFLAJDFSALKDFJSDLFJ OTL DLKFJDLFKJ DLFKJDFLDFJSDFDSJLFKDJFLDKFJLD AHHHHHHAAAAAAAA

As you can tell, I'm a Michiru Ooshima fan D: Ooouuuu no more orchestra music. NO MORE BRATJA ;;;;;_______________;;;;; One of the best things about the FMA anime was the music! And.. and... it's not her this time. saldfksjadlkfj orz

Yeah, I know that it's gonna be completely different from the previous season, and it's gonna have a fresh start, but still. Ugh.

I mean, yeah, I'm gonna be looking forward to see if Akira Senju's new music is gonna be even better than the ones he composed for VGundam (which is supposedly his best work ever) and how these new anime staff's works are all gonna combine to make the new series.. BUT. Uuh..


.....Michiru Ooshimaaa whyyyyy *cries*

----------

[December 12, 2008 @ 7:28]

New flash animation in the top page! No sound/anime this time though, only shows an image of the new FMA poster that comes with this month's Gangan.



W A N T

orz


..........I'm seriously contemplating on whether to just subscribe for Gangan or not.. I mean, it's pretty expensive... ..but it's FMAaaa


For people who have been asking me if the anime's gonna be based off of the manga or a continuation from the movie/first season:

I DON'T KNOW. I'm just a really obsessed fan, not a FMA anime staff lol, so I'm waiting for more info like any of the other fans out there are too.

But I think it's gonna be based off of the manga. I mean, how are they gonna continue it from the previous anime/movie unless they're gonna do something like Higurashi.. multi parallel world woo > >

I know that more info's already out in this month's issue... but obviously I don't have it cos I'm not in Japan! HA. orz

[Dec 8, 2008 @ 6:12 PM]

[FAQs]

They're not so FREQUENTLY asked, but I'll just answer some questions that I get sometime.

----------------------

Q.1 What kind of pen do you use for inking?

Sakura Pigma Micron 02/03 i25.photobucket.com/albums/c87…
Copic Multiliner .05 evanescent-adoration.deviantar… evanescent-adoration.deviantar…
Both + other brush pens that I bought from a 100 yen store lol evanescent-adoration.deviantar…

It seems like Sakura Pigma pens bleed sometime when I start coloring, so I guess they dry slowly? Copic Multiliner is good until you start using the really fine tipped ones.. I can't apply too much pressure on them because I'm afraid that I'll ruin the tips.

Q.2 What do you use to color?

Color inks:
Dr. Martin's evanescent-adoration.deviantar…
Winsor and Newton evanescent-adoration.deviantar… evanescent-adoration.deviantar…

It feels like Dr. Martin's inks are thicker and are easier to shade, I think? lol I don't know.. I haven't used them in a whil now.

Q.3 Do you draw commissions/reqests?

......... I have way too many requests that I got like.. long time ago. ...Long long time ago, so uh, until I clear the list, no. I'd feel wrong xD;
I never forget them; I just.. procrastinate a lot.

............................. But I am taking commissions at AWA today/tomorrow. asldfkjdslafj I'm sorry guyss ;;;;;__________________;;;;;


Q.4 What program do you use to CG? Pentablet?

Corel Painter IX.5 evanescent-adoration.deviantar… evanescent-adoration.deviantar… evanescent-adoration.deviantar…
Photoshop CS3 evanescent-adoration.deviantar… evanescent-adoration.deviantar… evanescent-adoration.deviantar…

I get some people asking me how I colored  evanescent-adoration.deviantar… , but honestly, that was quite a while ago, and I don't really remember lol D: I know I used like.. water/water color brush tool or something.

As for the pentablet, I think it's Wacom Graphire 4x6? My dad just randomly bought it one day, so it's probably the cheapest one out there that was sold 4 years ago.. I can't even find the exact img of it lol.

Q.5 Where do you get your FMA stuff from? evanescent-adoration.deviantar…

Most of them, I bought from Japan myself, some I bought from cons, and a few I got from my friends. How much have I spent on them.. uhh. ...A LOT. LOL *doesn't wanna think about it*

I'll just say that the individual DVDs (+ tin can + binder) costed me about $700 with the shipping, and the real State Alchemist silver pocket watch was about $300 with the shipping. Plus, I preordered the DVD box set as I said in my recent journal entry ( evanescent-adoration.deviantar… ) which was like $550. ....So just with those three, it's already what. Well over $1000 rofl. ......It's good to have a job 8DD;;;;;;;

----------------------

Any other questions? I'll post them here.
