Well, I now have one cat that is soooo fat (HOW FAT IS SHE) -

She's so fat she's can't groom her own butt and we'll have to put the entire house on a diet and .. buy baby wipes. FOR THE CAT.

Meandering around my bookmarks, I rediscovered a site joseph_palmer once showed me. (I told you guys I can, on occasion, write Ranma 1/2 fan fiction. I've told you this. So does he. He writes the good stuff. Me, I try.)

It's much easier to get a mental picture though, when the art can look like this.


I'm really pleased to see a number of new pieces too. Go meander around over there. Watching Avatar these days (yes, I do THAT too), I reminded of why I like Sokka so much...actually, I'll admit he's growing on me much faster than any of the other characters. He's smart, scary smart even with the mouth and attendant attitude. He's also incredibly good-hearted, level-headed...and I mentioned smart, right? On first look, you don't see it - you only hear the mouth running and tch. But stick around, and oh yeah.

People wonder why I still like Ranma so much - you have to wade through a lot of CRAP to get to it, I'll give you that much - but you find much the same in that character as well. SMART. Very smart, and it'll trip you up if you don't keep up with him. Incredibly level-headed, and patient to a fault...and good-hearted in the bargain. Educated is one thing - we're talking minds like steel traps, here.

Wanna know what I find sexay - there you go.

Carpets cleaned, recyclables taken in - lunches for the next two weeks at work bought and the clock is still ticking. Tomorrow - the conclusion of POMEGRANATE CARNAGE!

Awwww... now you've got me all nostalgic now. Ranma 1/2 was one of my first animes and one of favorites! I was writing a Ranma fanfic a long time ago and Takahashi-sensei's art is what I mimicked a lot during high school when I first really started doing anime style art. Takahashi-sensei is really such a brilliant mangaka. I feel like that gets lost sometimes when her series become so popular and end up suffering b/c of that demand for her to keep on making the series, but I read Rumic World Trilogy back in the day and that right there is just such a great example of her range of storytelling.

That Ranma fanart site is amazing! I like how the artist gives the characters a more of a soft, shoujo look.

The Power of "Oh, what the heck." compels me.

You mentioned Avatar and artwork. My friend, gearhalo, recently did the art for one of the last Avatar comic books. He's moving back to California (specifically, the OC/Ontario area) from Georgia this week (or at least, trying to) with his wife, another art-and-writing-inclined friend latentblue. Savannah was not much of a considerate host, and they'll both be looking for work when they get here.

I know you're busy lately, but if you know anything that might be helpful, could you let me (or them) know?

Thanks for sharing that link! It's refreshing to see someone still doing Ranma ½ art considering it's "old" by everyone's standards.

Ugh. That would be me. Why I wasn't logged in is beyond me.

Golly!

Golly! Mentioned in the same post as cat-butt wipes! ^_^;

That's one of my favorite Chai works, but there are several that are real stand outs.

I've thought of contacting the artist to ask if she'd do some works on commission, although some seem like they already were:

Just tell me that's not Ranma and Akane on the top of the fence at the golf range in "Black".
