I hadn’t heard about the company ques Q until I saw this article on moeyo earlier in the year but I took notice immediately. As soon as I gazed upon the beautifully rendered Alice resin kit I knew I had to get the PVC version. I’m really glad I preordered as soon as it was …

tpwplus-character-set

Ever since New Year’s Eve I’ve been playing the doujin games Touhou Pocket Wars Evolution and its expansion Evolution Plus. I found out about them pretty randomly when I stumbled upon some recent updates on the Touhou Wiki. I thought the art looked nice and before I knew it I was spending way too much …

marisa-harem-2

It’s been forever since I last did one of these drawings. Because of various unforeseen circumstances I haven’t been able to draw Yuri Chalk for 6 weeks in a row. I didn’t want to end the semester without making one last drawing so I did this during my last opportunity. To make up for it …

300k Site Visits! Time for Some Original Art!

lyrical-spark-300k-get

Earlier today or rather technically yesterday (4/27) I finally got 300,000 hits on this site! I reached this milestone a little faster than expected due to the jump in visits I had after my recent music translation streak.

Searching for Otaku Firefox Personas

After something like over 2 weeks since the release of Firefox 3.6 I finally got around to upgrading. If it weren’t for a friend telling me I wouldn’t have known since Firefox never did notify me that an update was available. Anyway the big thing with this update is the introduction of Personas which are …
