Thanks so much! I'm glad the event files helped you out, despite them being so old now (I can't even remember when I uploaded them to Portalgraphics, it's been so long).

Hey zanazac, I forgot you were on here, looks like you found me though. You may have noticed I posted all my vgmaps stuff here. Surprisingly it's a lot more attention here then there, you should try it too.

Hey! I went looking for you after you had mentioned on the VGMaps forum that you also post your maps on deviantART. So here I am watchin' ya!
Do you get comments on any of the maps? Oftentimes with my artwork, I'm lucky to even get a single comment! XD

GPuronen In reply to zanazac [2015-10-21 01:33:21 +0000 UTC]
Most of the comments I get are people reminiscing about playing the game the map covers. Things like "I remember that" or "I loved that game". Another thing you'd be surprised by is the number of faves you get. Much more then on stranded work. Since I have mostly maps stuff up now most of my stuff has faves.

zanazac In reply to GPuronen [2015-10-21 03:07:03 +0000 UTC]
That's pretty cool. It certainly helps having so many deviations (2000+) for people to stumble upon to rack up those faves, huh?
I've been pretty inactive here for quite a while (being obsessed with learning Japanese has a lot to do with it, heh), so it's been fairly quiet here for me. I do get the occasional user come by and fave a ton of my Bleach character portraits, but not much else beyond that. Need to carve out some time to do some drawing again!

Love those bookmarks you did by the way. But I'm telling you, post your game maps and you'll get tons more interest.

I'm getting there! I got most of my bookmark printing done last Friday, so I've been working on getting those prepared for lamination. Got three more paintings to do for Gallery Momiji. Just sent off my new button designs to a local button maker today. So things are more or less under control at the moment.

Wah! Found you. lol my friend and i were the weird trio you saw at the comic expo. we tried your website, unfortunately it didn't connect.
My friend who is your 'fan' now was super happy that he got to come with me and since your on deviantart he says hes even happier. lol xD thats not creepy at all
Thank you for all the awesome prints!!

Hello! It was wonderful meeting you three yesterday. You guys definitely stunned me with your overflowing generosity and patronage! Thanks so much for that!
Was it the teardrop.ca website you tried? I'm actually kind of glad it's gone now. I haven't been able to update it since 2007 due to not being able to get in contact with the server owner. I post all my latest work here on DA anyway, so it's not a big loss.
You're very welcome, and thank you! ^__^ Perhaps we'll meet again in the future. Are you guys planning on going to Anime North at all?

Oh so thats why it didn't work. now i feel like less of a dummy.
Honestly we really like your art. my friend really would have bought everything if he could haha
Yes I do hope we all meet again it was quite fun I was planning on going
to anime north this year.. but it got cancelled on me. So I'm not so sure, but I do know I'll definitly go next year if I can't this year.

I'm not sure how long ago it went down, but it seems like it was fairly recently.
Thank you so much! It's compliments like these that really make all of this worthwhile.
Aww, that's a shame. I don't know if you are aware of it, but in October there will be a Halloween Dance + "mini Anime North" event that takes place in Toronto at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. If you are able to go, I would recommend it to you. I'll more than likely be there as an exhibitor with my comic group Suddenly Sentai . It's a lively event and always fun to participate in!

well your work deserves compliments
I really wanna go to anime north lol. So I've been making plans to go on just sunday since tickets are pretty cheap.. well cheaper >.>
But if I cannot make it I'll most likely go to that one in october then with my friend and brother lol. thanks for the info :0

Hey! Congrats on winning my painting! I'll try and get it sent off to you by Monday or so. Just need to find a box, or the cardboard to make a box to fit it in (that's the hard part).

Thanks, but you don't need to worry about that. Big Brothers Big Sisters will be taking care of that.
Still no luck finding cardboard... Aghh~ it's so frustrating!

Fuuuu I just read the description of that picture. It appears to have been a commission. XD;
It's still cool though.

zanazac In reply to Abyssopelagic [2011-05-09 20:22:45 +0000 UTC]
That particular painting may have been a commission, but that doesn't necessarily been that I'm not a fan of the Mother series. If you read the description a little closer you'll see why that painting was commissioned.

So according to the Anime North Comic Market map, I'm sitting next to you this year.
I couldn't help but notice you're an Earthbound fan, judging by your picture of Mr. Saturn. Which gets you awesome points, and had me feel the need to say hello. See you at the con!

zanazac In reply to Abyssopelagic [2011-05-09 20:14:49 +0000 UTC]
Hello! Yes, it looks like we'll be table neighbours!
Yep, it's as you suspect. Although I haven't really done all that much EarthBound fanart, that's something I want to work on to correct this year.
See you then!

Abyssopelagic In reply to zanazac [2011-05-09 20:42:08 +0000 UTC]
Yes! It's my first table, I'm sure it'll be fun.
I'll have an Earthbound print at my table, plus a couple keychains of Lucas and Ness. One of my favourite series c:
See you!

I will probably be in the alley. I sent Jessica an email today offering to help with the running things side of it for this year and next. My friend and I applied for a table so I might be participating too when I'm not helping to fend off rabid art-types.
You?

Luckily, I managed to get a table through the lottery, so I'll definitely be selling this year.
