Pleased to meet you

by **Ren** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 3:21 am

I met you all at the Waldenbooks manga meeting yesterday. To tell the truth I was quite impressed and very glad that I was able to come. It's good to see that there are actually GOOD animerican artists out there, even better that they live so close! I hope that we may meet again and that I may be able to share some of my art with you in the future.

Oh yeah, I'm Maggie. Hajimemashite :)
Take care everyone, and keep up the good work!

BTW: LOVING the Dizzy print. I'm going to get a special frame for it so that I can proudly display it in my room! (It's also the very first print of artwork I've ever bought from an artist!)

Hey! Thanks alot for dropping by. We're so glad to meet local manga and anime fans. (it's good for us to get out from time to time, when our writer let's us.

This was you, right?

More pictures from both talks here:

(We'll also put this link in a proper news post this week)
And we'll be back at waldenbooks within the next 10 weeks or so.

Rain Arc will be totally pleased that you love your print.

Yep that's me! So when's the next manga gathering?

We'll have to coordinate our schedules with Susan from WB, but we'll be sure to publish the details as soon as we have them

In the mean time, we'll of course, be working on new pages to go up on our site here, and starting our preparation for Anime Iowa in the fall.

We're hoping to publish 2 more zines by then.

Thanks so much for the kind words! And I'm definately happy to hear you like the print enough to get a frame for it. :wink:

Ah, Anime Iowa's coming up. Gotta try to get some more pictures done in time.

Wow, not a very busy forum

Perhaps it would be easier to talk to the studio members via email?

by **Stacie** » Tue Jun 14, 2005 7:33 am

naw, this is fine. We love hearing from ya here.

by **Ellie Vyle** » Tue Jun 14, 2005 8:31 am

Yeah, we totally love posters. But if you wanted to contact Lor directly to give him feedback or to ask about commissions, there's a little 'Contact' button on Rain-arc.com 's main page. He checks that and this forum just about everyday, so which ever you choice...it's all good. ^__^

I tried messaging Lor, but I think I scared him away ;_;.

Anyways..How did all of you happen to meet?

by **Stacie** » Wed Jun 15, 2005 10:15 am

Well, I met Kim and Maciek when I was in college, but didn't really start hanging out with them until after I graduated, and got married.

We met Allie and Lor at Anime Iowa 03!

I have a photo that I can show of them in their Phantasy Star Cosplay, if they'll let me post it...

Ray and Pete have known Kim and Maciek, before I knew them.

Heh, Ren, you'll have to do something totally freaky to scare Lor. (heh, I said he checked the forums, I didn't say he logged in...^__^)

Oh, and Stacie, you totally can't post those pictures of my way chubby self during '03. Nuh uh.

by **Stacie** » Wed Jun 15, 2005 12:23 pm

haha. that's why I asked! I got yer back, girl. They were really awesome costumes though.

by **Ren** » Wed Jun 15, 2005 5:15 pm

Ok you guys are just TOO cool. I absolutely LOVE Phantasy Star Online (I bought the GC for the sole purpose of playing episode 1 & 2). I've even got an adorable Rappy plush! I'm also a Guilty Gear nut, although I can't seem to find any good Doujinshi. I happened upon buying a softcore hentai doujinshi but I'm not really all that impressed with it except that it has a few panels of Dizzy in it as well as a beautifully colored picture of Dizzy on the cover. Probably should scan that in for the GGX nuts of this forum.

Anyways.. here's a new pic I drew. Unfinished because I was half-concious when I drew it anyway :P

Blah. I need to take some art classes..
Criticism always appreciated. I don't mind people being brutal with me :)

Ren's Gallery

Modesty is the sign of a good artist. That's a really nice gallery of your work there. And I totally dig your coloring. Can I ask what you use to color your stuff?
