I recently came across this concept on youtube, where Bloggers and Vloggers in the anime community are doing a twelve days of Anime thing and I thought it was rather cool and I want IN!!!! Of course I am coming in late to the party and so I am playing catch up.

The premise here is rather simple, once a day from December 14th through the 25th you are suppose to pick one moment/scene from an anime that you watched sometime this year ( the anime does not have to have been made this year you just have had to have watched it this year ) that impressed, angered, moved, or otherwise made an impression upon you and tell the world about that moment.Ā  Since I am obviously late and we are on the "6th day of Anime" I will post the first 6 together here and then starting tomorrow I will do one a day.

Feel free to talk about your favorite moments in Anime from this year in the comments below .........

Characters Of The Week: djuby- Opal & Lapis

Posted on December 11, 2015 by | Comments Off on Characters Of The Week: djuby- Opal & Lapis

Usually, when it comes to talking about djuby's work, you'd be expecting a lot of talk about costumes, right. Well this week neither of the characters featured are clothed (as far a I can tell), but it's alright because the pictures are headshots. And the reason why they're being featured is because, well, just look at that shading. The hair on Opal is beautiful and the facial shading on both (but particularly Lapis) is stunning. It shows just how much you can add to a fairly simple picture by adding a bit of well thought out shading.

Your challenge this week is all about accuracy and repetition.

The task is to create a distinctive paper snowflakeā€¦with a couple of twists. Twist #1: the snowflake must feature images, that when used together, represent a common theme; could be a song, a movie, or a more abstract idea. Twist #2: you cannot, in any way, describe your creation when posting it. A huge part of the judging process will be how clearly your theme is realized.

You only get one entry so bring grab your intellectual scissors, be creative, and above all else, have fun!

All entries must be in JPG or PNG formĀ (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (likeĀ the HeroMachine :,ImageShack,Ā PhotoBucket, or whatever);

  • The image must be new and designed specifically for the Pop Quiz;
  • No copyrighted characters please ā€“ they will be deleted.
  • Please name your filesas [your name]-[character name].[file extension]Ā before you upload it. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his ā€œBayou Belleā€ character image asĀ DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
  • Please make the link goĀ directly to the image(likeĀ this) andĀ not to a hosting jump pageĀ (likeĀ this).Ā See this post on how to get the direct link for most sites.
