http://kasumimanga.com/blog Tomorrow will be a sunny day! ^_^ Sat, 02 Aug 2008 17:39:33 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm really bad at idioms...I hope I got that title right. :p Our deadline for Kasumi, vol.2 is looming closer and there's still so much to be done! *slightly stressed*. Sugimoto-san is working round the clock to get all those wonderful chapter sketches inked. It didn't help that Surt-san had ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2008/08/02/when-it-rainsit-pours/ It's been about 2 weeks since Kasumi's launch. Who would have thought this day would finally come. It's official, I'm a manga writer! :) We spent the past weeks checking out bookstores and looking for Kasumi. I'm so proud of it that I want to tell everyone that this is our ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2008/08/02/up-up-and-away/ I used to think that I am invincible when I was young and that time is on my side. However, as the years go by, I begin to feel my time is running shorter and perhaps it's because of that which spurred me to create my manga and do what I ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2008/07/13/farewell/   I've been looking for a song to inspire me...and my recent fav is "Way back into love" from the movie "Music and Lyrics". Who would have thought a cliche, love movie like that could capture my heart and inspiration! *hahaha* I think there's something special about it that I just ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2008/06/18/way-back-into-love/ It's finally here! We're really excited about this...with good luck and great resourcefulness, we managed to create a real life-size model of Kasumi's Sakura hair clip! And OMG! It's super Kawaii! Here's the initial concept design from start to finish: Below is Kasumi and I've highlighted her Sakura hair clip.   Here's Sugimoto-san's initial ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2008/06/01/kasumis-sakura-hair-clip/   I've been procrastinating long enough and I'm finally starting on the Chap 2 dialogue for vol.2. ^_^ I'm done with my manga reading, drama watching and rock band playing and now it's time to get serious. Sugimoto-san had just shared some of his music with me and they will give ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2008/04/18/kasumi-vol2/ Wow...it's been a while since I last posted. Ooops! ^_^ So...what's new? Well...I've been into playing this new game called "Rock Band"  (http://www.rockband.com/). I'm not really a hard rock person but there's something about this game that's uber cool. I think it's 'cos you can sing, play the guitar or ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2008/04/09/rock-band/ Creating Kasumi has been lots of fun. I think what's more fun is watching Sugimoto-san create the deliciously, handsome and cool male characters. ;) I can't even begin to describe how estatic I was to see the sketches of the guys that I had describe come to live in Kasumi, ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2008/03/08/whats-ryuuki-thinking/ 音楽もそうですが、近頃気分を変える時に良く使うのがお香です。輸入雑貨のお店で安価でしかもかなりの種類が在るので、色々な香りを試すことが出来て良いです。cool waterとvanilla orangeがお気に入りです…。Surt-sanも試してみてはいかが？それではペン入れに戻る事にします。 http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2008/02/14/%e6%8f%ba%e3%82%8c%e3%82%8b%e7%85%99/ Okay I admit...writing doesn't come naturally. There has to be a few factors in place before I can sit down and write an endless, continuous flow of words. Like Sugimoto-san, music is one of my most important inspiration. The type of music will affect the type of story...which brings me ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2008/01/24/writing-is-more-an-art-than-science/
