Re: Looking for an image to paint on the back of my car

Hmm, yeah! I like the top one, but it might not come down to black and white well. I'll give it a run through Photoshop and see if I can strip some clean line-art out of it.

Looking for an image to paint on the back of my car

So I'm thinking I want to paint something on the back of my car. Its a station wagon so the back hatch is flat and vertical and the car is white. I want to do a black and white stencil from a manga or something. I dont really want a character, I'm thinking more in the way of an intricate 80s style f...

Re: WTB: Ranma 1/2, VHS, Magazines, and MORE!

I was at the local Goodwill store yesterday and I happened to notice they had some old Tenchi Muyo VHS tapes. I didnt look that close, but they were in their original sleeves and looked in good shape. One Ryo Ohki, eight or so Tenchi Universe and maybe a Tenchi in Tokyo or two. And I want to say the...

Re: The science fiction/fantasy novels thread

A few years back I decided to try to read every winner for the Hugo Award for Best Novel. Since they give out one a year and they've been doing it since 1953, there are quite a few. So far, I've read about half. I was hoping it would cause me to stumble on some really great books, but my favorites a...

Re: make anime conventions better

I don't have a lot of knowledge or experience with the cons. Since I grew up in Alaska and there were never any around, I've only been to a few. So this is just based on my personal experience. Some others have already touched on this, but I think the biggest problem is that if anime cons get too fa...

Re: Summer Movies 2013

From what I understand, the 2009 movie is not supposed to "stand on its own", the goal was to make a movie that reboots the franchise in such a way that the "hardcores" could "keep the original continuity pure" while the mainstream could start fresh. I think it has pro...

Re: Sega Dreamcast Love

I have very fond memories of playing 4-player Power Stone 2. That game always seemed to be a crowd pleaser. Not to mention countless rounds of Street Fighter Alpha 3 (had way too much fun with Dramatic Battle) and Marvel vs Capcom 2 ("I wanna take you for a ride!").

Re: Summer Movies 2013

Well, that describes the various Star Trek TV series, but not the movies. (Except for the first one, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which was practically a rehash of one of the old TOS episodes. However, it was not a big box office draw.) As awesome as The Wrath of Khan was, it set the tone to make...

Re: Summer Movies 2013

I'm pretty pumped about Iron Man 3. The first one is a great movie, the second is alright, but Robert Downey Jr is just too much fun to watch as Iron Man. Wolverine looks like it could be pretty good. I don't like any of the other X-Men or Wolverine movies, but this one looks to be taking a step in ...

Re: Sakura Con 2013

I was pretty disappointed in my experience with Sakura Con 2012 so I skipped it this year and went to Emerald City Comic Con instead. Still, I'm interested to hear how Sakura Con is this year.
