I wanna be a manga!

this is ridiculous...
Babara Salesch is a Tv-show with a fake court and fake prosecutors.. fake cases and very bad actors. It´s just a pseudo-documentary show and believe it or not: It seems to work.
The script-writers don´t even care about proper research and well... Sat 1, the TV station, hosts the "Who is Who" section for Barabara Salesch under "comedy show" online. I think that might say all. >_>

anyway, Lew linked me the most awesome case about a cosplay girl who was (or might have been or never was... ) harrassed by a photographer. Ok, I admit, that *might* happen now and than and it´s a bad side-effect but why on earth did THIS happen:

Part one- I wanna be a Manga
"I always dreamed about being a manga..."
Oh well, not anybody wants to be a book... I think I have never seen a cosplayer cosplaying a manga. A sack rice... yes, but never a manga. Maybe that´s cosplaying 1.5

Part two-moshi moshi
"How would that be called in manga?"
Yes, we totally ignored the fact that "manga" is a language. And moshi moshi means nothing else than "hello"... even if you don´t telephone.

Part three- the colorful ink
"The colourful ink just flowed out of my heart."
and the best: "She just wants to chop up the cosmic band between us."
Yeah... we all have a cosmic band. Normally it´s black and attached to a black collar on one cosplayers neck and the leash in the hand of her/his best buddy.

oh my. welcome to the freak show.... I´m really sorry for all cosplayers. After reading an article that most cosplayers come out of shattered families the TV show finally makes total sense. Let´s take the cosmic band and strangle all bad scrip-writeres with it.

i watched the movie today (pre pre pre screening... don´t ask) and it was just sooo BADDDDD. I can´t even put it into a coherent sentence. I just want my 87 minutes back.
If you know the comics (and the tv series) you´ll run our screaming or sit in your seat frozen and shocked. The whole thing wasn´t even funny. ;_;
The actors are bad, the non-existing story is bad, no logic just a lot of special effects which can´t even create a "wow" because even those are bad. Rahhh! why did they do it?
I even wished fo the bloody panty to emerge because that might have saved the whole movie but no panty at all. (you know which panty I mean, but since no Oolong in sight ... no panty)

=_=;;

painting is a crux.. if you´re german

I think I never gonna finish it... haha =_= the sketch has been hanging in my kitchen since September last year and still I think "I should do it" ... than some days later: "Na, wanna paint cute." Some days later: "Paint it!".... and so on.

I think i can say it openly and nobody´s gonna blame me for my very own personal point of view: some communities just suck.... and the problem is: Most are german. =_= I cannot understand why especially the german art-scene is excessively trying to force pros to produce better and better and better art even if you just wanna paint and relax.
It´s odd and especially the reasons aren´t any reasons at all. The main question is: Who do you paint for?
I don´t mean commercial art or art you have to do for a project but your very own fun-art. Those pieces you do if you wanna just paint. Would you like to get a comment like "Well, nice but you can do better."
Isn´t it unfair to say such a thing?

Some people say: You have to see both sides. Well, no... I can´t. There´s just one side: the one which says "Have fun". Community shouldn´t mean prison and pressure for things that might never come because they were never there. Too high expectations and frustrated artists: now that´s what I call a mess.

Is it just Germany or is it everywhere like that?

Crap!

Of course it HAD to happen. Normally I live in my happy good karma bubble but of course that ends apruptly when one things goes totally wrong. And another follows... and than the next.

My computer decided to crash again on friday. I started... he loaded and died.
Rahhh!!! How can you do that now that I have to finish the illustrations for my book. WHHHYYY?! Last time the same thing happened. Exactly. I had a deadline and the computer crashed. Unbelievable. I should say: "Well, no problem, I still have my cute lil netbook" But ever tried to retouch 60x30 cm images on a netbook?
No? well, me too and I dont really want to try it. >____> man, that sucks.

The only good thing is that my parents called yesterday. Those two are freaks when it comes to driving around in Europe (and not telling me.... ) making a trip to I-can´t-remember-maybe-italy-or-sweden-or-who-knows-they-didn´t-tell-me-sorry. I called them like ten millions times and nobody answered. Its bad if things twist up when you get older. When I was younger my mum always said: Call us when you get there, we wanna know that you are safe.
Now I have to remind them to call me or at least to take a mobile with them. It´s so odd.

"Hi, we just wanted to say we are close to XY now. We are a bit in a traffic jam but I think we gonna make it home around 7."
"MUM, WHERE WERE YOU!?"
"Oh, i forgot to call you- we were in Italy. Listen, they had those cute toddler cloths and you know Erik..."
"MUM!"
"Oh well. What can I say. We´re back?"
"!!!!!!"
It´s pointless.....

Those guys... I never get it.

hope I can finish this week.... god, I love him >_<

I´m so uncool +InterviewIn

"Guess my Job" was released -a small fun app, for those who wonder. I worked several days on the two cover characters and I´m kinda relieved that the final design works (since I had no idea what the guys who did the app will do with the characters). So colorful >_<

I know many people wonder: Is THAT what you do all day? No... not at all. Normally I jump around inbetween coordinating things, working on flash graphics, fiddling around with pixel graphics and abusing photoshop for character-designs and retouching graphics. And yes, I love my job. Crazy, isn´t it?


More than that... I got interviewed by InterviewIn:
http://wm-studios.com/interviewin/
tadaa.... not that many new facts but kinda nice to be there. I really enjoyed puttint in as many spelling mistakes as possible.. as you might realize while reading the interview. Trust, that was just done to keep you busy :D
