Dying a little
Welp. My stomach decided it was out to get me again, so i'm spending the evening on my couch instead of working. Oh well.
I worked on one of my presentations. This one is about the history of manga. It was actually quite interesting. Especially all the reading I had to do about Tezuka and the Year 24 group (aka father of manga and mothers of shojo manga). There's some people out there who were badass artists. I kinda wish I was the reincarnation of one of them, or something *laughs* Theses guys pretty much created all the motifs still used in manga and defined the type of paneling and shots used.
I downloaded the first episode of the new show "New Girl". It was free off itunes. I was curious. I still haven't watched it because... the commercials for it honestly scare me. The premise of the show seems to be "SHE'S A GIRL. THEY ARE BOYS. THIS WILL BE GLORIOUS AND HILARIOUS FOR THIS REASON ALONE. also, she's nerdy." This seems very.... weak? I guess it's a sitcom, I should not expect much, but since it's the type of marketing they went for, it amazes me that such a basic and kinda sexist premise still attracts so very much. I honestly hope the show is better then it's marketing.
For a commission, a couples asked me to draw them as Disney's Beauty and the Beast. I'm quite proud of this one!

I get the feeling that New Girl is going to be marketed as a self-insertion fantasy for lonely, single women. Think about it: An "unattractive nerdy girl" (by Hollywood standards, anyway :P) gets to live in a nice apartment with 3 smoking hot guys who are able to give her a stylish makeover while still retaining their heterosexuality (translation: romantic drama ensues and the audience can ship the chick with any of the dudes).
It'll be like a less funny American version of Ouran Host Club!
