Since I’m getting ready for Animinneapolis it’s epic crafting time so that my partner and I have a full art table. One style I noticed that is crazy popular is pixel art, so I thought I would give it a try with woodburning. These are pixel coasters of Megaman and Ralph from Wreck-It Ralph. This was quite the adventure :) The grid is woodburned, then the dark parts are woodburned in each individual square, then the right colors are painted in each square ^^ I’m surprised they turned out this spiffy!

I realized this today;
You know how the japanese version of P4 implies that Naoto is a closet-fan of the Sentai franchise and how the artbook says her Persona’s design is based on Kamen Rider?
Well, today I figured something out:
The Sentai Series that came 2000 was “Timeranger” (Adapted into: “Power Rangers: Time Force” in America). It’s Sixth Ranger was named “Naoto Takizawa”.
The Sentai Series that came 2001 was “Gaoranger” (Adapted into: “Power Rangers: Wild Force” in America). It’s Sixth Ranger commonly went by the name “Shirogane”.
Naoto’s name is a combination of two consecutive Sixth Rangers, both of which were lone-wolf type characters.
Just like Naoto herself is a lone-wolf type “Sixth Ranger” to the IT!
Those magnificent developer-bastards!!!
I don’t know why this makes me so happy, but it does.

Something different for the writing blog, but I thought I would write a review for a series I’m currently watching. Attack on Titan is as exciting as it is emotionally draining, but it’s definitely worth watching. If I have time, I’d like to review series I’m watching, series I have watched, and things like that. I’ve been watching more anime than I usually do lately in my free time, and this one was a good choice.
Series: Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin)
General plot: There are creatures called Titans who feed on humans. No one knows where they came from or why they do what they do (although one episode mentions that they don’t actually need to eat humans, they choose to do so, which means they seem to be here to literally here to wipe out all of humanity). What remains of the human race has built up numerous walls to protect themselves from the Titans. Things have been peaceful for 100 years.
But…
(SPOILER WARNING!)
I’m watching Attack on Titan. Oh god why.
Well I guess that is something these two have in common… :c
Also protip: Never draw sad things while listening to sad music because you will cry like a bitch all over your tablet.
Happy father’s day everyone.
OMG WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THIS?!
But, this is true, Kanji lost his father and Naoto lost both of her parents. Randomly, this brings up something that I didn’t like about the anime: they never mention Kanji’s fear of hospitals, not even once. I feel like that was an important plot point, and since they go to hospitals so often (especially later down the road) it would’ve been easy to slip it in there. They don’t mention his father being dead at all, and the whole, “He told me to be a man,” thing. Miss opportunity :(
