So...in the middle of my mad rush to finish up projects, I decide to check my email...and, I got one from Otakon staff saying that a table has opened up...
Okay, I'm sorta in a love-hate kinda state-of-mind right now...since I've basically "accepted" the fact that I didn't get a table (they sent me an email a few months ago saying that I didn't sign up in time) so...that pretty much means that I made no preparations whatsoever!!! ARRGHHHH!!!
You can only imagine how peeved I am right now...because I'm stuck with 2 difficult predicaments.
First off, I have ZERO prints available (exception of the left-over ones from last year...which I doubt anyone still wants...and it'd be weird selling old prints) and I'm too damn busy to draw more...so if I go, it's practically guaranteed that I'll be losing money...unless I use commissioned pieces as prints - since that seems to be all I draw nowadays (I actually had to turn away alot of people who wanted to buy the Thor's Assassin display print I had on display last year) but that's a major NO-NO with commissioned works. Dammit!
Then again, I had a total blast last year...but I think that's more from the fact that I had THE AWESOMEST people in the world hung out with me that entire weekend (I'm looking at you, GP, Moggie, Pyrria, and Kai)...
So I'm sorta in a difficult situation. It's basically, Okay, if I go, I'm guaranteed to be losing money...yet if I don't, I'll be like, God, I miss the thrill of Otakon. I only have about 10 days to make my decision...or else I'll be regretting it later on. So, suggestions, guys?
Note: one way or another, I WILL be at Otakon...but this is basically whether or not to do Artist Alley again...
Update on Current Projects (I recently got my hands on Persona 3 FES...and it's rather addictive, hence the slight slow-down on these)
-Miho/Maris: Finished coloring Miho...will start on Maris soon...I got kinda caught up with SH.
-Summer-Heat: I'm currently finishing up his wings...will get to the freaking fireballs soon...
-Nike IX: Finished inks. Will scan/color soon...
-Tensai: Pencils completed. Inking in progress.

Suggestion for Website URL
I'm itching to sign up again for a webhost...there's even a REALLY nice sale on lunarpages.com as well...it'll be on for another 2 days.
But, first, I need an address. I mean, I don't even know what to call it!
I sorta don't want to use "jtranstudios.com" because I think I overdo the whole "J-Tran" thing WAYYYY out of proportion...and I'm gonna slowly move away from using this screen name.
But yeah...I need suggestions on a name for a website. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Desperate for some ideas!
I'm trying to think up something that could have double meanings, or a pun, or something...something that sounds SMRT (clearly over my level of inte
Baltimore Comicon Sept 27-28
Just wanted to say that I'll be attending the Baltimore Comicon again this year. Anyone who live in the area, come hang out with me!!!
I won't have a table or anything (God, can't even dream of being able to afford one of those or sitting beside the GODLINESS of someone like Jim Lee or David Finch).
Anyways, this is a list of the guests that they're having this year.
Main Attraction:
-Jim Lee: If you don't know who Jim Lee is, then I guess reading this entire journal is rather pointless. LOL! One of the founders of Image Comics, currently works as head of Wildstorm, which is a branch of DC Comics. Most known for Wildcats and drawing the B
Otakon 2008
Otakon was...amazing!
This year was once again, another truly fun experience. I swear, Otakon doesn't disappoint!
Okay, first and foremost, I just wanted to say that...if there was nothing else, the Udon panel on Saturday made the ENTIRE con worth going to. If you missed it, then...you REALLY missed out...alot. Whether you're an artist or a fan, Omar Dogan's speech regarding art and the development of style was one of the most inspirational speeches I've EVER heard on this topic.
Okay, first and foremost, let me start by saying that I'm a huge fan of Udon. I LOVE their styles and truly believe they are some of the best anime-styled artists
Lucy, I'm Home!
Hahaha @ subject header. Anyways, just wanted to say that I'm officially back!!!
Just quit my job...it felt really bad telling my boss that I was quitting [since she is like, THE sweetest (and one of the hottest) person in the whole wide world]...but it had to be done. But yeah, that officially knocks me down to one full time job...which has been pretty nice. Lazy biatch at work is STILL a lazy biatch...but my ability to tune her out is getting better. "LEVEL UP!!!"
Today was the first day I've had to take a break in quite a while. Last week was one of my friends' wedding. It felt weird going to a friend's wedding...like, she's getting marr

Moggie and I will be going to Otakon again this year. While it would be cool to be able to hang with you in the booth like last year, we understand if you don't do that. At the very least, drop me a line and I'll give you my cell # so we can be sure to meet up at some point!
