• Favourite genres: Action, slice of life, comedy
• I've been interested in anime and manga since late 2010. (it comes and goes, once in a while)
• If it's bizarre (e.g. anime in general), then I'll probably like it
• I don't care about waifus and husbandos
• I'm pretty open to watching in either sub or dub (Though I'm leaning further towards subs nowadays)
• I only think a show "wasted my time" when I completely forget about it. Anything else is worth the experience
• I don't think that a show can be bad just because it's episodic
• I'm generally more critical with my own art
• Putting numbers in my username is a very old habit of mine I that can't seem to get rid of
• As you can probably tell, I have a weird tendency to list things...
My list tags [WatchT] = Watch together with someone else [Priority] = Try to watch and finish ASAP to avoid spoilers [Rewatched] = Watched, the whole way, at least twice woah no shit
• I rate based on personal enjoyment + what I appreciate and respect from its technical stuff
• Most of my enjoyment comes from my lasting impression on the show
• My favourites are in a random order based on some useless arbitrary aesthetic thing I have going on
• I update my favourite characters list, once in a while, based on my extended faves list
Yeah, I suppose it's possible that the weekend days will be better. Hadn't even thought of that possibility, lol
The server is really crowded. Wouldn't be surprised if nobody's even seen my request there, LMAO
I've tried advertising a bit on the AF server, and still not much luck. I think the main source of defenses for me last year was people seeing my characters in the newly submitted tab on the home page, which is sadly down right-now :\
I can't rule-out the possibility that others are working on some for me as we speak, since I know that every artist's pace is different. But I do certainly think it's not a coincidence that I seem to be getting less defenses than I did in the first week last year XD
Thanks! TBH, I haven't been paying attention to the team points at-all, lol. TBF, I didn't really do that last year either. XD
I'm definitely hoping to keep up my current pace (although unfortunately I will be offline most of tomorrow. Hopefully I can at-least return to a few attacks on my characters, lol), especially since I've finally abandoned MS Paint, making my attacks look better and quicker to make to!
Yeah, I totally get prioritizing revenges! I've been doing that so far, and it's going pretty well! (Not that I have many defenses to revenge yet, LMAO)
I don't suppose you have any werewolf OCs or know anyone who does (myself aside)...? I've got two empty slots in my mass attack that I need filled, lol
Well, I hope you're having happy holidays, then! :) Definitely hoping to get a few more attacks uploaded today. I've still got a few bookmarks I need to finish up with, too!
Watching dub/sub based on setting has always sounded like an interesting idea to me! I suppose with JoJo, though, that's probably hard to chose for parts 3 and 5 considering their global nature. Well, unless you watch the Italian dub of part 5, if that exists, LMAO
I've vaguely figured-out the light-source thing from making custom Pokémon sprites (official Pokémon sprites are always lit up from the top-left), but I still feel it's my weakest area, maybe behind posing
I'm currently working on my mass attack. Got 2-and-a-half out-of the 8 characters I intend to include. Pixel-art takes forever to do, LMAO!
Yeah, I wish I went into R.O.D totally blind! Unfortunately I got one-or-two story beats spoiled on me. The only thing I'd really recommended knowing, plot-wise, before watching is that the OVA is pretty much essential-watching before the TV series :)
Considering I always watch dub where available, I must say, campiness and bias for the series aside, that JoJo's has one of the best English dubs I've ever heard, IMO!
I think my art-style would probably be improved with some shading, but I can't figure it out at-all! ^_^;
I'm definitely hoping to get more attacks done this year too, but I'll have to see if that's possible. I've got some new tricks up my sleeve in terms of fancy effects, but I think my actual drawing ability has taken a hit since last year, lol
ArtFight's been loading real slow on my end; is that just me? I'm guessing it's the sudden increase of traffic, but IDK
I'd definitely call R.O.D a hidden gem! "Princess Principal but even better" is probably a really simplified summary of my thoughts on it, lol
I love me a campy dub! The fake accents in the first 2 JoJo parts' dubs sorta have that appeal (even though I controversially thought the accents were all pretty convincing, apart from Stroheim sounding like every bad Arnold Schwarzenegger impression ever, LMAO)
As someone who hasn't really figured-out line-art (pixel-art aside) and has definitely not figured-out shading, I can definitely understand how focusing on one might be worth sacrificing the other. I can't imagine concentrating on both at-once! Maybe that's just totally inexperience on my part, but it does sound like it'd be hard to do, especially if you want to get a certain amount of pieces done in just a month! ^u^
Part of me thinks Jade might just go with whichever one she's randomly assigned since that's what we both did last time, lol. Although I can't rule-out her picking Vampire just to be on a different team to me (and because JoJo's, lol), either!
Apparently, according to what I've heard from Jade (probably the only person other than NISIOISIN who's watched both R.O.D and Monogatari, LMAO), when one of the characters first meets Araragi they think his name's Yomiko and he says he's not an agent of the British Library who can control paper. Which I guess means that Araragi was named Koyomi solely to set-up a R.O.D joke, lol. Which, honestly, is incredibly based, IMO. R.O.D needs more love!
I really should be practicing a lot more myself, lol. I suppose I'll probably use some of Jade's characters as guinea pigs while I find my footing again, since I know she won't mind, LMAO!
Oh, did they stream the team announcements? I suppose every company does streams nowadays, so I guess that's not too surprising. Hopefully Jade and I are on different teams this year so that we can get more points for attacking each other, but who knows? Being on the opposite team to me and your siblings will probably be pretty good for Vampire's points though, right? That is, if you're planning to attack us, of-course!
Rollercoaster of quality certainly sounds like Jade's experience with Monogatari, in the sense of having ups and downs. XD
One of these days, I should check it out for myself to see what it's all about. I know it's pretty much the only series that has a shout-out to R.O.D in it, so that's something! Lol. The only other series I know to have a R.O.D shout-out is bizarrely The Owl House, LMAO, such that's a pretty unique thing Monogatari's got anyways! Plus NISIOISIN wrote one of the JoJo spin-off novels, which does certainly pique my interest
