I like plain M&M's better than peanut M&M's, but I always get peanuts, because I know they will last longer...

So, I spent the weekend doing something illegal instead of doing my homework. I downloaded all 5 volumes of the American translation of Nausicaa, a manga drawn by Hayao Miyazaki 20-some-odd years ago.

The manga is in black and white, but the movie was in color. I kept on saying to myself "damn, this would be so nice in color"... and so like, instead of studying for my Art History exam, I started to colorize various pages from the series

peakman.virtualave.net/compari… - page 93

This is also the first project I've ever really used Photoshop for. Now that I've used it extensively, I've concluded that Photoshop is in fact, a great deal better than PSP.

I'm incredibly happy with the colorizations I've done so far, and plan to do more, starting from page 1. With over 1000 pages total, and taking more than 3 hours to complete even one, I'm sure I'll be arrested for copyright infringement before I ever finish it all.

Oh well...

I've been watching a wider range of good anime lately... I say good anime, because there's a lot of fairly bad, philosophically zealous anime out there.

In addition to the entire Cowboy Bebop series (ed!) I've also got my hands on two older Miyazaki films that most people forget about. Kiki's Delivery Service is honestly a very good film, and so is Laputa Castle in the Sky... although the latter doesn't have quite the profound appeal as Kiki's does, even though it's a far more grandiose theme.

Here are some of my fav shots from Laputa:

peakman.virtualave.net/pix/ss/… - Sheeta, looking dumb
peakman.virtualave.net/pix/ss/… - Same, looking terrified
peakman.virtualave.net/pix/ss/… - Same, looking dead
peakman.virtualave.net/pix/ss/… - Yikes!
peakman.virtualave.net/pix/ss/… - I want this ship
peakman.virtualave.net/pix/ss/… - One of the Buster Bros. for sure
peakman.virtualave.net/pix/ss/… - Purdy...

...and from Kiki:

peakman.virtualave.net/pix/ss/… - Classic pose
peakman.virtualave.net/pix/ss/… - Tombo annoys Kiki
peakman.virtualave.net/pix/ss/… - Jiji sees something he likes
peakman.virtualave.net/pix/ss/… - Kiki looking sad
peakman.virtualave.net/pix/ss/… - Tombo in trouble
