The curse... is it broken yet?
What's the main news this week in my area, it's Colonel Sanders Statue from KFC.
Colonel stages a comeback - The Japan Times
supposedly, the curse was lifted when he was found on this Tues.
Similar to the curse of Bambino of Red Sox, Boston baseball team, there is an urban legend that since someone dumped Colonel Sanders into a river in Namba, Japan 24 years ago, Hanshin Tigers, Kansai's baseball team, hasn't won Japanese version of World Series. Well... actually, for the past 40 years or something but that's not important.
Yeah... it was strange since I was riding a train on Wed on the way to work, and saw that sludge covered statue on the front page of sports newspapers and major newspapers. They say that if they converted the media's airtime featuring that statue with how much they spend on ads, it will be ~ 27 million yen, half a month worth of profit of KFCs in Japan.
Baseball fans are happy, KFCs are happy, one TV show that always searched for that statue for the past decade is happy, and yep, that's what's filling Japanese newspapers and TV for this week.
It must have been amusing to be standing on a few meters of sludge for 20 something years, since he's still smiling.
:p
I am still working on the next illustration. Dunno when it will be up, but it's starting to look better than before

Update
I'm currently working on an illustration and getting myself ready for the next possible commission,
CD jacket for a rock band in UK. :)
It's a group that's about to have a pro debut soon.
I think I will be working on the next manga page after I finish with these illustrations or while I do commission.

:p
Since intuos3 came yesterday, I tried it out on my next manga page and finished 2 koma out of 6.
This is the souvenir that my friend brought from her relatives' place. Nearby, there's Obama City, Japan XD
Meet Obaman (dumpling/bun with red bean paste) from Obama wo katte ni ouen suru kai (Society that cheers Obama as one pleases)(dunno the translation for this)
It's filled with red bean paste and was yummy.
Anyway, a song I might get once it comes out on album:
時代 by 上松秀実(Jidai by Uematsu Hiromi)

not much's happening
Since I didn't noticed that there was another extra page to manga before mihiraki=have to redraw name.
So, only yesterday did I start drawing the next page.
I often study Photoshop/drawing techniques, and the latest book I'm studying is:
(from http://www.mdn.co.jp/content/view/6526/)
The one before was:
(from http://www.mdn.co.jp/content/view/5810/)
They are books I like since it gives tips in easy way.
Anyway, using the former book and tweaked a bit more, I got this:
I might use this technique in future for an illustration :p
