Just Cute #003 PriPara



What is on my cute radar right now? Pripara. As of two week ago, I had no knowledge of Pripara was. Now, I have some knowledge and at least one season fully watch.



Pripara is a very nice rythem arcade game that also has its own anime serise and 3DS game.
I only found out about this game/anime two weeks ago, but it has been strong in Japan for two year, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pripara. I stumbled on this after pouncing between the need for magical girl shows and cute video games.  Sadly, I will never get to play the game because it really only plays well in the arcade as you receive a special, just for you, ticket at the end of each game. This ticket has your save file, in form of a qr code and a ticket to snap off and give to a friend. (So your character can dance behind them.) There are other ways for me to enjoy the cute over load clothing and music filled game. Although this has an attended audience of 6-12 year old girls, just like My Little Pony, this is good enough to to capture a few people out side that target.

First is the anime. As of right now, I got though season one and starting season two. As an older viewer I can tell you I really enjoy the anime has characters of all ages that participate in the idol game. This seems more to life then some shows that only has a personal group of friends are only one age till you get over the age of 18. But all in all, it's cute and kinda kiddy.

Second part I can semi enjoy is the merchdice. They have toys that interact with the game. Although I  will not have the chance to play the game, they are still nice enough to on there own.

So, super cute serise and game that I will have to enjoy from a far. If only there was an app game like this that could connect to a fujifilm printer or Polaroid printer, that be awesome but...I don't think really possible. Dreamer going to dream.

Just Cute #002



TsumTsum has been in the US for now over a year and the Tsumt are everywhere. I had hear of the game before it hit the US and first chance I could get tsumtsum I did so. Funny is a co worker was collecting the plastic blind bags and didn't know it was a game. She now is hooked to the game. There are three parts of the Tsum Tsums I really enjoys.


The nature live actions are soooo sticky cute and silly.



Animated version is adorable and never needs too speak a words.

Last, is the soft minis that I love takes out for photos.

Before the RPG-Girls

This year, I am trying to complete several peices and projects that where started and not completed. In my pile was this art.


Art and fashion is complete tell is of my younger years at the start. As I have aged, and read more stories and research fashion more I wanted to return to these fantasy fashion I did of a couple of my junior high friends and myself. Yes, at one time, I did have that long of hair. In a way this is the rpg-girls before the rpg-girls. Its fun and almost painful to look at how I drew in 1999.

The Apron Project #001

As of last year I got a new job. At my new job I may wear a apron that I personal make. This is super awesome for me to stretch out my skills of sewing and design. I am going to post my complete aprons here.

First apron, Nintendo worker.
I really enjoy this, mostly because it's sung and doesn't show all the dirt I may pick up from a days work. It is Vouge pattern 8643. I used about a yard of denim and 2 yards of Nintendo character cotton print. The denim parts are liked with a light cotton. Top stitching didn't go to well with my sewing machine but it made it more durable.

Katherine Style #00 - Intro

Katherine 
    Long time ago, in my junior high years, I wanted to play Dungeons and Dragons with my brothers. That wasn't going to happen for some years. Didn't stop me from making up a character and making a story for her. In my English class we where to write a paragraph at the start of class. There was a subject on the board but it was ok for us to write what ever we wanted, so I started working on Katherine's story. That was 7th grade, 19 years ago. (holy cow) Katherine started as a forgotten/loss elven princess. I hadn't read Lord of the Rings, so elves for me where what came from DnD, shorter forest people. Though time, her story changed and so did her looks...a little. She stayed short, because I the author was short, but she did get ride of her elves ears. In 9th grade, my friends where into Buffy the vampire slayer, so Katherine turned into a modern monster slayer. In 11th and 12th grade, I made her the main focus of my art pro-folio and would skip back and forth from medieval fantasy and modern demon slayer. After high school I never stopped drawing her. In 2009, I started collecting all the drawings I had made of her and decided I would make a book of all the different fashions I had made her. As I collected the art and made outlines of her fashion, I would also upgrade her fashion. After cosplaying for a few years and just being more open minded to move fashion and costumes, I wanted to make Katherine's fashion have more character. I also decided she would have a young training years in her story. After getting into Harry Potter in high school and now coming up with my own terms of how my character used magic, I though it best. As of last year, I final got her first book done that covers her training fashion. Now to her learning, fantasy adventure, then her testing, modern demon hinting, and I hope three other adventures if I can. 

On this blog I will simple share the art. In my books I add just a little bit of story. I struggle to write and with how my life is now, I don't think I will complete her story books. But their is hope. If nothing, her fashion books will be done.
