EOY Illustration Competition: Sparks of Hope
Caught this while reading Tiny Red Man’s blog.
As it says, it’s the EOY Illustration Competition: Sparks of Hope. Create an original character based on the theme “Sparks of Hope” and submit your artwork in A4, 300 DPI, and in JPEG format by 7th December 2007.
The top 3 winners will be able to win attractive prizes and and get their artwork featured on Fresh Mode. Fresh Mode is a 100-page monthly comics magazine targeted at teens and young adult comic readers. More information about the competition can be found here.
I’ll be giving this illustration competition a try. It will be my first art competition so I’m rather nervous about it. Need to submit drafts as well so I better ask some of my more art-inclined friends. There’s roughly 3 more weeks till the submission dateline. Hope I can manage my time even better. I’ve still got a 800 words Japanese essay to submit ^^;
So, anyone’s submitting entries for the same competition as well? And oh, may the moe be with you ^o^

I want your feedback!
Over the course of almost a year since this blog has started out, there has been ups and downs, favourite posts and such. I was looking though my stats page and I realized that my 10 Most Viewed Post are the most lackluster, shoddy written ones!

I never really asked, or you guys didn’t bother (J/K) to state what kind of post you’d like on this blog. It could be more figurine coverage, less anime reviews, more Tohsaka Rin (^___^) etc. I’ll then read thru the comments and decide on the ones I’m able to focus on. Of course, I won’t be able to please everybody as that would kill the site. Ultimately it would be me doing the contents but a little feedback or two gives me a general idea of what you guys feel.
Like what Bill Cosby said:

Let’s all speak up! I do appreciate your feedback!
A bunch of figures to order!
One of the whole bunch of bad things of an otaku not being in Japan is missing out Akihabara, Comiket, Figures, WF, WHF, maid cafes, more maid cafes, and more more maid cafes and their maids going “ お帰りなさい、ご主人さま～！<insert name of maidーちゃん> はご主人さま会いたかったです。ね～キスして。” (Of course the kissing part only exists in the minds of old man and ero-games ^^;
One good thing though, is being able to limit yourself from buying all those stuff. Imagine this, ￥10,000 for each game. ￥3000 ~ ￥30,000 for a figure (with the exception of Haruhi BUBBA kit which was ￥160,000 over at Yahoo Auctions Japan), Candy girls going at ￥500,000+++ which you tell your parents it was used for reference books :p Staying in the core of the otaku world requires sacrifices.
However, with the increase in auction and hobby sites, you can now easily purchase figures easily online. Or visit your local hobby (preferably anime stores) and ask them to help ship it over (includes shipping cost as well).

With WHF just over (Event reports over at Heisei Democracy’s post by Shingo and DannyChoo’s post ), I began to look through some of the online hobby sites such as 1999.co.jp and amiami for figures.
