Now you shall have to humor another of my drawings. I was only going to put up the artwork of others on this post, but it was requested that I post this as well because I actually had patience enough to do *drumroll please* A BACKGROUND! Whoot. And it's got one-point perspective. Amazing! I can't believe I actually sat still long enough to do all this. I so lazy sometimes.

Okay, those of you who were at the meeting the other day are aware that I was asked to put a step-by-step tutorial of how to put music on one's blog via Project Playlist on my page. So, now I shall do so.
~First, you will need to go to http://www.playlist.com and set up an account. The option to do so will be at the top right-hand corner of the page. It'll say "SIGN UP!". The site will walk you through the creation of the account.
~Next, type the names of the songs you want in the searchbar. The site will search for you and give you two buttons next to each result: a play symbol and a plus sign. The play symbol will allow you to preview the song, which I HIGHLY recommend you do. Some of the songs are corrupt files, low quality, or the wrong song altogether. Then, when you're sure you want it, press the plus sign. That'll add the song to your new playlist.
~When you're done getting songs, click "My Account" at the top of the page.
~On that page, scroll down until you see "My Playlists". Underneath your playlist names, it'll give you several options. Click the middle one, which is "post".
~When you click that, it'll give you options A through E of which type of code you want. The first four are for specific sites, so there's no use in that. Click option E.
~It'll ask you which of your playlists you want to post. If you put more than one playlist on a single account, this is important. Click on the playlist name.
~Here the site gives you a nice sample. Configure your options on this page. You can choose to Autostart, which means the playlist automatically starts playing from the beginning as soon as someone opens your page. You can also make it shuffle randomly, if you like. Then, pick your color. Make it pretty.
~Click "get code!"
~On this page, you will find your code. Cut or Copy this code.
~Now open up Blogger and go to layout. Add a gadget. The gadget you will pick is "HTML/JavaScript". In the big open space, paste the code that Playlist gave you. Save that, and it'll appear on the blog with your other gadgets.
~Congratulations! Your blog plays music! Remember, Manga Club members, this is a school function, so make sure your lyrics in your songs are school appropriate.
Hiya, guys. This is kind of just me having ideas. I have some free time right now, so I'm just spewing thoughts, here. Humor my creative burst, willya?
At some point, I'd like to start doing contests. I see them all the time on deviantArt. I pick a theme, you guys draw stuff, and everyone else votes. Unfortutately, right now we don't have enough participation to do anything like that. Eventually, though.
I'd also like you guys to draw some Holiday greetings to our beloved viewers. Anyone who does gets a cookie. I'm totally serious. I will literally bring cookies. I'd bake, but I suck, so that's not a good idea. You can request what kind of cookie you'd like, and I'll go down the street from my house to Subway and buy 'em. Draw holiday stuff. Happy Chrismahannukwanza!
Also, I'm kinda getting tired of begging for support... If you guys don't want your art up here, I guess that's gonna have to be okay. I will be posting my own art and anyone who wants theirs posted as well as some of my favorite pieces by famous manga artists. I'll post galleries of famous artists once every few weeks. Artist of the week for this week is: TITE KUBO! Yayz! (Now, see, if you guys had posted more stuff, you could've been artist of the week, but nuuuuuu.)
M'kay, that's all I got.
This is a drawing by Rita H. of her adorable character, Suzume, along with her pet bird, Zen. Let me tell you, I adore the hair on this child. As you'll see below, I tried to recreate that effect with only a little luck. Something can be said for colors like that done with mere colored pencils, and probably a meager set at that. Rita's color work may actually exceed the quality of her lineart in many cases. However, that face? Precious. I wanna adopt this kid. When I saw it, I pretty much gave Rita no choice in whether or not this made it to the blog--- I was taking it. End of story.
Ladies and gents, meet Swallowtail. Her real name is Sparrow White, as requested by Rita. That strapping gentleman in the background is another of my homemade super-baddies, Owl. He has a thing for her. I was kind of inspired by the zipper on Suzume's hoodie, so I played it up and covered the girl in zippers and belts. I also extended the hoodie for a more imposing trenchcoat look and made her older, giving her a figure. The hair sucks compared to what Rita did, but other than that, I thought it was a nifty design. It was well-recieved by the requestee.
This drawing is one of mine. I just like it. It's one of my better marker pieces, if ever you've seen my previous ones. These are two of my original Batman baddies specifically designed for the next-generation portion of the story. Perhaps I'll provide a link to the screenplay once it's internet-bound. These two are Casino and Enigma, respective to their locations. I call this little progect "Unmasked".
This is a fanart of Rita's. It's a picture of a girl named Kyoko from the Shojo series entitled "Skip*Beat". Look at that detail! It'd be cool to see this in color. I may ask Rita if she'll let me color this. The crimped top has a lot of folds. That was probably very time-consuming, so I admire her patience.
That's all I have for you guys today! Yeah, bet you didn't know I was going to praise the artwork, right? Yep. I love pointing out what's particularly good about a piece. Show me your artwork! Email me or show me at school! Details can be found in the post "Call to Action", so be sure to check it out so I can showcase art from all the club members!
Send me art, for cryin' out loud! This looks like a brag-blog for my art. I want to show off stuff for everyone in the club! If you want to give me art, you can email it to me at artskillzyo@aol.com or give them to me if you don't have a scanner. You can find me in the library before school and at A Lunch and in the cafeteria near the middle at B Lunch. You can also give it to one of my friends if I'm not there.
Hello! I'm Chopper (you guys from school will know me as Kayla or possibly "Kooky"), and I'm the administrator (admin) of the artists' section of the SHS Manga/Anime/Graphic Novel club. I've decided to name my section the "Manga Artists' Guild". However, since right now I'm kind of the only person in my group, I've merged my group with "Anime Anonymous", which is more or less a general group focused on expanding its members' horizons. Anyway, I'll be displaying any art that the people in my group draw. I'll get to submissions later.
Later, I'll link you guys to Anime Anonymous, DeviantArt, and Shelfari.
