My manga "Hollow Anthem" Sneek-Peek Preview!

   Here is a lil' teaser for my manga, sorry for the wait though...XD. Anyways, I deiced to go a digital now that I have my "Wacom" drawing tablet. So what that means is I will be putting the first whole chapter up in a few days, amount of school work pending of course, but this is the cover and the first page I did by hand. I hope you enjoy and I look forward to your comments!

My "Chibi Chobits love!"

   This is a chibi pic I made of a character named "Chi" in one of my favorite anime/mangas called "Chobits". Its an interesting story about what "Real" love is and how hearts work....yes its a love story,in a way. It has action, suspense,and...awkward moments...yeah, a lot of those.XD
   But, I encourage any anime/manga fan or "Otaku" for short. To read this series, personally I like the manga better than the anime, but, all is good in the world of "Otaku-dom".

My Little Buddy

I have a now three year old nephew, and he's my little ball of sunshine.
He is my alarm clock on weekends,
He gives me hugs and kisses, and always seems to know when I'm sad.
He knows just how to wear me out yet still get me back up playing again.
Braxton is my Little Buddy, He's my other half...
And yet I don't like to leave him in the mornings, he's always there at the door....
He is the first to greet me a "Welcome home A-Bee-Bee-Da!!"
And I always think, "How on earth did that come from my name?"
My name is Amanda N. Craig and I have the best nephew in the world through my eyes.

This week.

Hello, Still working on getting my manga up and running...but its taking a little longer than I thought. We've been taking mom to more doctors trying to get her better. And I've had a lot to do at school so much lately that I'm lucky if I get enough sleep. But, I will get what I have done already up soon. So please bare with me, I want to make this all as good as possible. So, keep your eyes open.

My eternal first love

I'm here do you see me?
I'm hiding here beside you,
You say you don't remember
But I always will...
Our never ending game of hide and seek,
You said you'd always find me.
But even when I'm hiding right in front of your eyes...
you deny my existence.
I am forever lost.
Will you ever find me? Or, shall I remain to be a forgotten fragment of your memory?
I yearn for you to find me.
I've never forgotten our so called game...
I miss you smiling at me,
But all I am now is a shadow...
A child forever lost on the play ground,
Will you ever someday find me?
My first love,
My heart will always belong to you...
My eternal first love.

Happy Day: XD

At the end of every week each and everyone of us becomes a freak
Because fridays come and its time to get our party on
Tonight's the night to break away and bust a move get into your groove
Because tonight is the night to start anew
until monday comes and we all start to sing the same old song

My soul reaching out

I dip my hands into this darkness
It is the ink of all my dreams
I put my hands to the paper
...this world I'm stuck inside...
But nothing happens, because no one is listening
I try once more but again...only sadness is seen
This world of mine has gotten so dark, so cold...
Yet in the end when I think I'm about to give in...
I hear your voice calling out to me pressing me on
And so I reach out once more to my canvas and try to make the world see
What we're all really crying out for...
Love, Light, and peace...

"Me" An essay on myself

     My names Amanda Nichole Craig, I'm 19 years of age. And this is what I'd like to call giving a little tid-bit of myself to you. What is a quirk? What is my quirk? What makes me so quirky? Well, let tell you why so you know why I'm so diffrent from what most people see as being normal.
     Frist off, I am proud to say that I am a major "Otaku" What is that? For most of you if you don't know an otaku is someone who is obcessed with japanese manga and anime, which is their form of comic books and cartoons. I have collected thousands upon thousands of manga books anime series, along with many of the games, movies, and soundtracks that go along with some of them. 
     But why do I do all of this? Why do I buy all of these things and why do I make cos-play costumes and create my own manga? Call it what you may, but doing all of this is what has brought me to my career choice in life...as well as giving me my lifetime dream. It can seem as silly and stupid as it may to others, but, I want to be my own manga creator and author. I'm constantly creating storylines and characters in my head...which on occasion can be quite troublesome. Now, to get into the Pros. and Cons. of things.
     First, The Cons. of the situation. Well, Its lead me to my career choice and dream of course, as well as my choice in role-models and idols, it supplies great entertainment and reading material as well as a refrence. it helps me with creating better storylines and character designs as well as being a great help when I get sever cases of artist block.
     Now for all of the Cons. in this situation of mine. Well, its causes me to be mistaken for a twelve year old more often than usual, causes great exhaustion because of long hours spent making comic chapters, storylines, cos-play outfits, and character designs. Thus, is also the cause of lakc of good nutrition as well as lack of proper body functions due to: Eating high sodium microwave cup ramen and such, drinking lots of tea and soda with large sums of cafeine. 
     So, there's my small but yet large explaination of my quirkiness. Hope you enjoied it and see me as being a little less crazy now. But if not, Oh well, your just missing out on all the fun!
