Just a short update: There aren’t any more drawings. It’s time I’ve saved up for a new Toshiba laptop so I can restore all of my The Sims 3 PC game. The last drawing is ready for the artbook.
If you’re looking to buy that Heavenly Guardian game for the Wii/PS2, I suggest you don’t purchase (or order if you’re at Amazon.com) that game. The reasons? No saving during mid-game, game graphics aren’t hi-res, the US/Canadian box art isn’t much good. You may have to be careful when purchasing this game… You can draw the “snow goddess” outfit on your anime character by studying this image. If you’re doing stunning text effects in Photoshop, you can go here (Note: Requires Photoshop — either non-trial or trial version). I don’t think anyone actually lives in this “ghetto” crud. Who needs to live in this “ghetto” crud? Really.
I’m not *actually* black, because my true ethnicity is always a mystery (no, I’m not this “punk”, even if you are playing Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, and he said “not a chance, punk”). Also, my self-portrait have to use a lighter skin rather than a dark one to avoid racial issues in my anime drawings. You might think, that drawing anime-style things based on real persons (not fictional ones), you might say, “this will help you get a Japanese girlfriend”… I think I should start dating. I don’t think I can draw copyrighted characters because I really don’t want to get sued as my work uses the CC license. My dad and I have been talking about marriage to a Japanese woman for years, though I have explained that, Japanese girls are far more successful than Jamaican girls (just my opinion).
Flickr still didn’t answer my reply-to-reply message and I don’t know why before I was (almost) got the boot from Flickr. I really don’t want to email these Flickr “punks” ever again (see “moral of the story”). The game is finally over. What my dad said life is not a game, and he wants me to end the game permanently, so I did.
Japan is still heartbreaking about two earthquakes in one year and the crippled nuclear power plant in Fukushima that exploded last month, I can still go there (and find the girl that’s right for me), but I have to stay away from radiated areas. You can read this here.
If I want to have my own wedding, my father said I have to include my mother (and also him), because the bride must have her parents and the groom must have his parents (and siblings/relatives, optional). Also, my mother is never mentioned in the main blog or this blog due to prevention of insulting one’s mother. My father wanted me to go to Fort Lee, but I told him a million times “bad idea”, then I fought with him until we stop and I finally made the decision.
What I was going to tell you that needles are dangerous. It’s because some people have a phobia of needles, and they should evade from all injections. Also, why the **** did they want their child to get flu shots? or blood tests? You know they don’t like needles.
So moral of the story: **** that ****ing Flickr punks. Also **** these ****ing hate sites (the main blog and this sketchblog are not hate sites), and also hate speech.
Lovely red Chucks in the drawing. I don’t see a green DSi in stores (they might have been sold out, or not in stock). I want everyone to say thanks for the 500th drawing and all of the support. I will be back soon as I am taking a break.
My niece in this drawing is dressed as a miko.

This was her winter outfit, three years later. She always likes to dress up like an elf. She had two differently-colored laces on her low-top Chucks (one is red, and the other is green. She had a pair of red-and-white striped socks that matches her long-sleeved shirt like the Christmas elves.

My future Japanese wife, aged three, when her father and her uncle gave her these shoes for Christmas, as she was born with black hair. Her signature hairstyle was a Japanese hairbun. Her everyday outfit was a green hoodie and her father’s old aqua X-hi Chucks with untied shoelaces (her father used to wear them when he was 18). She wears black biker shorts and a red T-shirt underneath, which are generally hidden. She often wears her Chucks untied rather than tying them, as she has trouble tying her Chucks. Although she likes the toe caps on her X-hi Chucks dirty, a butterfly likes to sit on the dirty toecaps of her Chucks. She rarely trips on her shoelaces, as she sprained her knee once as she didn’t cry.
At 5-years-old, her uncle gave her a pair of her first Adidas Superstars (they were black, actually), as she learns how to tie her Adidas Superstars.
Notes:
Her Halloween costume was Jeanette Miller (from “The Chipmunks” franchise), but with the unbuttoned jean shorts and the oversized turtle neck (which exposes only her belly button) rather than the skirt, loose socks, black hi-top Chucks, and her hair is down, but no glasses.
She mostly bully-proofs herself with her untied shoelaces on her Chucks and dodges attacks without getting hit.

This is my future Japanese wife, now in a normal outfit.
Color Guidance
Line art: black (dark blue for stripes on baseball uniform) (drawn in illustrator)
Skin: light beige
Hair: red-orange (bangs are always hidden under the cap)
Baseball cap, red disk (Japan flags on the heels of Adidas Superstars): red
Eyes, tank top, stripes on Adidas Superstars, tags on Adidas Superstars, Adidas logo on Adidas Superstars: green
Baseball uniform, Adidas Superstars, belt: white
Jean shorts: blue
Pockets on jean shorts: dark blue
Notes:
When she celebrates Shichi-go-san as a child, she wore a pair of traditional geta when she was three, and a pair of her Adidas rather than geta when she was seven.
When she was four, her eternally-untied Chuck Taylor All-Stars scares the bullies, although a bully took of his shoes in the park and makes everyone (and her) faint, then they are thinking about his “stinky bare feet/shoes”.
When she was three, she always loves baseball and sneakers. Japan has the “shoes-off” policy in most households, which the “silly shoe race” is prohibited in Japan.
She prefers sneakers (Chucks, Adidas Superstars), flip-flops, and zori instead of high-heels.
She mostly loves to wear masculine-oriented clothing and sometimes wear ripped baggy jeans (which she always wears them unbuttoned and the fly zipped) that says “日本” and “SIMLISH” on the sides.
Her shoelaces on her Chuck Taylors are kept untied so she can defend herself and scare the bullies, as she rarely trips on her untied shoelaces on her Chucks, while Meagan (Jo’s younger sister) occasionally trips on her purple Chucks.
She knows how to tie her own shoelaces on her Adidas Superstars, but she still has trouble tying her Chuck Taylors.
Her mother is American and her father and her uncle are Japanese.
She prefers to have thick laces on her Adidas Superstars which makes her easier to tie them.
She is the only one not to wear any school uniforms in her early life.
When she was 8, her dad gave her his old boots as a winter/hiking footwear. Her dad’s old boots are a pair of Sorel Intrepids.
