I've decided to start a new role playing game. I had an interesting idea the other day about what would life be behind the scenes for anime characters? Thinking about that idea, and with the school season just around the corner, I combined the two ideas together, to come up with Anime Central. This is a school that teaches anime characters all aspects of anime life so that they may succeed later on in life.

I'm imagining a setting that has a mixture of Harry Potter, Sky High, and just a regular school with mundane classes in it. To make the role playing world happen, there are no "classrooms" though. Since the anime world is so diverse, and each character may not be fully compatible with other characters for a study session, I've created a "pocket dimension" classroom. That is, all the classes, all of the students, and all of the teachers are in one large "room" so everybody can see everything that is going on anywhere in the school, yet it is cozy enough to understand instruction, practice experiments, or partake in daily activities.

There are two categories of characters in this new game: Students, which are designed to not be fully in character. I want the characters to experience personal growth through out the game, and I'd like to see every little quirk of a character exaggerated to see what their life really is like behind the scenes. Then there are the faculty members. These are characters who should be more or less in character. These are the role models for the students to learn from -- everything from mathematics, to cooking and cleaning to mecha design and space flight.

So that's the basics of the game. I've got a more complete introduction on my site: [link] This link will take you directly to the RPG page. I invite you to come on in and adopt a character if you enjoy Anime!

I just wanted to make a plug about my new Role Playing Game (Destiny's Storm).

Set in the near future a group of unlikely explorers go for the adventure of a lifetime! A crash landing of their flight ends up near an abandoned military base. Inside a long-forgotten relic waits patiently for the group; starting a new life for each survivor.

Based partially upon the myth of Atlantis, this sci-fi / fantasy game should have it all. With the inclusion of just about any anime setting and character the potential for comedic moments runs high.

All characters are originally crafted, and players may operate multiple characters as well as any existing anime characters that the group runs into.

This game is open to all members, new and old. Come check it out: [link]

Hi!

I'm looking for somebody who is up to the challenge of drawing me a forum signature. Really all I need is the image of Skuld drawn, so if you're any good at drawing her, then I may have a commission for you.

Here is what I want:
The end signature will be no taller than 150 pixels, and no longer than 600 pixels

Skuld is to be in a combat stance (legs spread a little, one forward of the other) her arms are extended in front of her with her palms away from her. A fireball (or more appropriately, a water ball or something) will be shooting from her hands. Her face is to appear either upset (a good scene is from the Movie when she blasts Celestin (scene 21: "Skuld's Feelings")) or angry/pissed/determined (see my avatar on ([link]rofile;u=1)

Another image that I would want is Skuld again, but this time wielding a sword. Her she would be a running stance, like somebody took a picture of her in a full sprint, her sword out in front of her ready to slash something to death.

Both images would be from a side view (looking towards one another). She would be wearing a pink midriff shirt and matching pleated, flared skirt, both with cherry red trim, and white shoes with pink socks. I want to retain her child innocence while still portraying her as a fighter.

Is anybody up to this? Please let me know and if so, how much. If the end result is really good, I may request a bigger, full sized commission. Thank you very much!

I just wanted to make a quick announcement: To anybody that subscribed to be an commissioned artist with the Little Shop of Anime, it's back, but I'm hosting it at my personal website ([link]) for now. We have a built in store now as well as a nice downloads/gallery section. I've decided that instead of just having yet another anime site, my site is going to be geared more for writers. We write in the Anime setting, whether it be for role playing games, or fan fiction. Of course general anime discussion is always welcome too. Some day within the next couple of years (assuming I can get the loan to launch a physical storefront), my dream of an anime club/store will become a reality!

I also wanted to make notice that the second chapter to Future's Blessings is going to be coming out very soon. I'm nearly finished with the rough draft, and I'm expecting to be done with it by the end of next week. Assuming I can acquire a couple of proof-readers, I should be posting the next chapter about a week after that. I've already got a lot of ideas for the third chapter, which is going to be more light-hearted and comic than the second chapter has been. I'm really looking forward to playing with Skuld's new found powers. LOL

So, since it's been like a year since I've been on here, I thought I'd pop by and see how everyone's doing?

A lot has changed in my life since the last time I was on here. Most notably, I started my own computer repair company. I've also been working on a new fan fiction, Future's Blessing, a first person perspective from Skuld. Each chapter is around the 10,000 word mark, so it's pretty intense. I've already got the first chapter up on FanFiction.net, as well as my personal website, Ayeka's Bliss, since I'm not sure how to put hyperlinks in the journal, I'll just paste the link here: [link]

Anyway, that's about all that I'm really doing right now. I'd like to draw some more, but I just don't have the time right now. I guess I've always been one to have too many irons in the fire. LOL

Until the next time we meet...
