in THEIR world

Hi!  It's been a while since I wrote a NOTE here in FB.  Not all may know who I am....so I'm introducing myself.  I'm Katz.  I love cosplay...art and practically anything that inspires people to dream and soar.  So, when I see things that need praise and need raising up, I write about them and acknowledge them gladly.  Especially....stories...

Rising Underground

For so long as I can remember, MANGA has already been a part of my life.  When I got off work, the first thing I do is check if my favorite MANGA (Japanese Comics) is updated.  If not, I'm bummed out.  Most stories in mangas are great.  Take for example, NANA...KIMI NI TODOKE... BATTLE ROYALE... NOBLESSE (Manhwa, A Korean Comic)...  CHEESE IN THE TRAP (Manhwa)...  You get my point...  And yeah, this form of art is basically much more emotional...like a PHOTOGRAPH is to a FILM.

Among the various things I've been doing for the past week and hundreds of worries to think about what with the cosplay gathering just around the corner...I'm so lucky to have met SHIDA SHINPAN a day ago!  He walked up to me and asked me if he could be there in the gathering this coming February 5, 2011.  If you still don't know him, he is the creator of the local Manga, "IN HER WORLD."  This manga was launched last year at the ANIMOTION 2010.

In her World

I talked with him for a couple of minutes and he will be releasing the 2nd issue.  So, don't miss it! ^_^  Here are some pics I took of what's to come...  SNEAK PEAK!  

SNEAK PEAK! Nyaha~

These guys are really putting up an effort to promote local art into this very competitive industry.  Well, not that we have a comic industry here in Negros...  Sigh~  But hell, they're starting it!

Opened Wide!

They are truly an inspiration to those of us who loves to draw and write.

Don't forget to check it out this Saturday at the KosupureDeto Gathering!

Anyhooo~  We'll be seeing the team this Saturday, February 5, 2011 at the 888 Event Center for the KOSUPUREDETO Gathering Event 3:30 - 9:00PM.  Ja matta!!!


katz~

Hidden Vibes of 2010

Just before the AniMotion 2010, the team was asking for a photoshoot.  I remembered I was against it solely because I was too busy with work and I  don't want to be pushed into something mediocre.  Yeah...I'm that's dramatic.  I break that principle most of the times though I stick to it as much as I can.  

What happened then was that the team just wanted a "Bonding Time."  I totally understand that!  But well, being ME once more I wanted to make sure they really...REALLY want it this time around to muster up all their strength and help me take care of themselves in the photoshoot.

We love making anime characters into MODERN, ALIVE ones...and so we opted for a mix character since Ric...can't pull off Ichimaru...although I was slightly idiotic for not thinking that he can! -,- Argh.  Gomen, neh?  The main reason was to let Karl (my cousin) use the wig...therefore we did not cut off the wig.  Oh well, what's done is done.  So here are the pictures of the times we went bonkers...

THE LOCATION

This is the location and NO, I can't tell where it is because the owner doesn't want to share the details.

Thank you so much, you....

With the production team.  Thanks so much.  Elie, Abing, Queen, Tin, Sakura, Manaples...  EVERYBODY! Thank you!

There were so many pictures but these were just some I got hold of.  I dunno where the others went and I'm too tired to look for them. hehehe...  The thing is, it was a great experience...  I just got off from an event the night before the photoshoot , they took me out of the event to check on the props and we set-up the location the next day 8 AM.  Pewwwh!  You guys are gonna be the DEATH of ME!

Loving you always,

katz :3
