Eight-and-a-half-Tails

Another favourite of mine from the Kamigawa Vingette series. I love how in this one, as well as in Sound of Crickets, all transitions to flashback occur on some form of sensory data, or emotion - an emotion evoked in the present is also present in the flashback scene.

Reminds me of this especially the way Kurosawa cuts from scene to scene on these 'movements'

Not particularly eloquent, but I'll let the piece speak for itself~

The Sound of Crickets

Putting this here so its not lost to the internet once again~

This particular vingette was a huge inspiration to high-school-me, and I remember getting an A on a short story I had written for Writers Craft in grade 12 heavily inspired by this one. Everything from the tone, to the plotting of events - too similar perhaps to pass as my own story, but oh well~

It was a great read, and an inspiration for my current style, as it exists and as I would like it to.

A massive list of jutsu I've created for Uchiha Kagami, that will hopefully, only get longer~

Can you spot all the references??

これは全て...最初から何も見えない少女に課せられたバツだったかもしれない。3rd Tomoe flashback



Its finally done!! Oh man this took far too many drafts and far too long to finally complete >_>. But in any case - this tells gives a window into how Kagami's brother was killed, how she was forced to kill her rival-now-turned-renegade, and how it's come to affect her.

Of course, in nowhere near enough depth to fully do that issue justice, but it probably won't be the last time I return to this period in her history either.

But, without further ado~

スカイがくれの赤い彗星


Because Sakura-Saber is to good to pass up on... Imma steal her look!~

In the present day, after the death of her younger brother, the defection of her rival and lover, and his death at her hands, the full awakening of her sharingan, Kagami (who still has the appearance of Tohsaka Rin) will don a more traditional outfit, a la Okita Soji.

Over her ninja-like kimono mini-dress, she wears a crimson haori, the Uchiha fan emblazoned on her back, now a full grown woman, and defender of the village and Uchiha clan.

とりあえず〜 3rd Tomoe RP is underway, fully plotted and imagined, just need to give it shape.

Back to paradise


A custom Graze Kai I'm currently working on - in Mirai Gaisha colours of course~

Made to take part in the Raise your flag build off taking place on r/Gunpla

EB-06/tc Graze: オールバス

Its armaments will be mainly solid-projectile mass production models, but I'll endeavour to make them as unique and cool as possible~ 

Strongly looking at combining elements from the RX-121 Gundam TR-1 Hazel, and from Advance of Zeta in general.

明日へ向かう - Uchiha Kagami: A tribute to anime

So Naruto Crisis 3.0 - its a thing! Early on I knew my problem with forum-based RPGs was two-fold: finding the time to actually "do" it, and keeping the motivation to make time to do it. 

So in order to combat that problem, I decided that whatever character I made, had to be everything I ever wanted. Hilariously overblown, yes, but entirely factual. She needed to be the ultimate waifu, the ultimate combat-character, with the coolest attacks, the coolest looking poses, the most homage to everything that's ever been done thats super-ultra-cool. I think you get the picture.

And thus, Uchiha Kagami was born~



Things off the top of my head that I want to reference...
Kill la Kill
Gurren Lagann
Dragon Ball
Gunbuster/Daibuster
Evangelion
Fate/Everything

And pretty much every other awesome anime/animation trope out there. Ambitious, I know, but who can deny how awesome that sounds?

So before we dive into all the little working parts that go into such a lovingly-created-frankenstein-monster, lets look at something thats crept to the forefront of my mind.

I can't shake the pulse-pounding-burning-awesomeness that is Obari Masami


He's responsible for the Obari Punch and the Obari Pose and just being a mecha-animator-god. Somehow, somehow, his name will creep into Kagami's character... I'm looking at you Ko-Chi.
