Now onto something completely different.

I'm reading the new Neon Genesis Evangelion manga series "Angelic Days". It's making me a total Evangelion fangirl again. I know some people really hate that series, think it's wanky and pretentious. I loved how dark and fucked up it got, myself. Then again, I went to art school. I've seen videos of people maiming themselves and taking photos of it for 'art', of taking their own shit and smearing it on a canvas and selling it for millions of dollars. Seeing an animated cartoon boy jizz in his own hand over the unconscious body of his hot teen female friends is peanuts compared to some of the shit in the art world.
Point being - it never bothered me and I saw some pretty awesome themes in it. Plus there were some awesome fight scenes with the Eva and the Angels. Just fucking awesome.
Anyway, the comics are really awesome and I'm totally loving them. I actually want to DRAW fan art! But unfortunately I can't draw manga for the life of me. I did some Eva fan art once - but it was all the kids drawn as real people rather than anime type drawings. I didn't think people would be interested so I never scanned them in.
I *really* want to draw Asuka and Shinji hugging or something, looking happy. Cause those two go through so much shit, the poor buggers. Shinji is like the SUPER!EMO!ANIME!HARRY that never was. Fer reals.
