The sketch was drawn for an extremely talented artist that I mentioned before, Woofy. I actually don’t know much about Salvatore, except she’s from Disgaea; in fact, I’ve never even seen the offical art for her. I based the sketch around woof’s own drawings (which really do have a remarkable similarity to Harada’s. I think I’m starting to become a fan of her, though.
I should get around to coloring this, though I’m thinking of doing some vocaloids…

I am extremely grateful to have met the variety of people who came and visited our table at AX2008. I am even more grateful for those who bought our merchandise, so thank you for yet another great year at Anime Expo.
Those who actually recognized and bought my own posters are my personal champions though.
In short, I throughly enjoyed Anime Expo this year. Thanks goes out the various fellow artists who I had conversations with and art trades with. I can’t plug everybody, but special thanks to o_8 (http://pub.tenkuu.net/) for arranging the gatherings, Woofy (http://corel.leafo.net) and Hai for being awesome bemani fans, Lychi (http://electric-paint.com/) and navfn for giving me a place to sit, the people at kmtplus.net for giving me a Miku Hatsune print, Eikuu (http://www.winternacht.org/) for the (temporary) shirt, and Nick at AI for being freaking awesome at pop’n music.
Also, the character in the picture above is from Disgaea 3, Salvatore, which Woofy and Harada’s presence (I got his autograph, too) have influenced me to draw her.

ATLUS RUINED OUR ANIME EXPO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Faces of the ones who ruined everything. NO THANKS ATLUS FOR BREAKING OUR HEARTS
QUOTES FROM A BROKEN MAN: “Atlus was the only reason why we came to Anime Expo. It’s why I came all the way from Australia to this shit convention and then they went and wouldn’t even let us in. I felt like I lost a part of myself and I can never get it back. Thanks, thanks a lot, Atlus.”
QUOTES FROM ANOTHER BROKEN HEART: “To add insult to injury, the moment I posted this entry, their newsletter emails saying that they ANNOUNCED PERSONA 4. PROBABLY IN THE ROOM. RIGHT NOW. THAT WE WEREN’T ALLOWED TO GO INTO.”
In further news, this whole month’s theme is now “ATLUS FUCKS VISUBLOG IN THE ASS” month. THANKS.
