Sorry, there will not be thumbnails because I don't have a subscription. I really don't feel important enough to warrant one. (I know, I know. "I wanna see it before I click on it!")

Repeating from last journal entry...

did a picture of Angry Kawaii Girl as Rebecca Miyamoto from Pani Poni Dash! [link]

has just finished a picture of Kimiko meeting her favorite character. Naturally, she is in a swoon over it.
[link]

Another Angry Kawaii Girl picture is done! has drawn her in the Lucky Star school uniform. [link] (This is the best AKG pic so far IMO.)

has just finished a commission of Ryoko Tereya from Lover Camp. One of the better pictures of her, IMO.
[link]

has just completed a shot of Kimiko in the sexy bunny outfit! It's very sexy IMO. [link]

Update! has just finished a picture of Chantal dressed as Rebecca Striesand from Wild Arms 5! [link]

I got in touch with . We've got a project for Antarctic Press in the works again.

Finally, I have landed a tempoaray job with the I.R.S. I'll be one of those people you call and ask questions. Of course, I'm fully prepared for the hate and the fury...

Because of this, I will be resuming the con trail in November. I will be at these conventions as a fan only.
Schedule so far:
November 20-23: Yulecon, Fort Worth. I will be there Saturday and Sunday only.
January 1-3: Ikkicon, Austin. I should be there all three days (Although I may arrive late that Friday.)

Well, It's September and for me that means one thing amongst others: another year of my life is coming to a close. I was born October 1 long, low time ago. I suppose one or two of you wonder why I don't reveal my exact age: well, it's because of this: I'm at the age where if a guy talks to people younger than himself, he's automatically branded a pedophile. I AM NOT A PEDOPHILE. I do admit that I don't have a girlfriend right now, but that's primarily because I can't afford to date someone right now. I really like talking to younger people because we tend to have more in common. A lot of you may think that being a fanboy at my age is just sick, but it's just my nature.

Let's get back on track here though. Lately I've been asking artists that willingly accept requests for some of my characters in various costumes. I'm still trying to drum up support for Secret Agent Fangirl. That is my dream, and as long as I'm alive, I will not let it go. I feel divinely guided to have this done. I do have a few in the works, and just this morning, one came back to me. I will update shortly about that.

If you want to give a picture to me for my birthday, you are more than welcome to do so. I'd love to see what you could do with Kimiko, Chantal, Agent McCloud, or any of my other creations.

Need picture references?

Please note only three characters cosplay here: Kimiko, Chantal, and Angry Kawaii Girl. The other characters do not. (I think the chief in any costume would be one image I'd like to unsee.)
Battle Boyz characters: [link]
For those of you who would like to draw a bunch of hot hunks (well, there are two babes here as well...)

I know some of you may consider it egocentric of me to request something like this, but if you don't want to do it, don't do it. To be honest, I don't really expect anyone to do anything for me. The thing I really want the most for my birthday is the thing that seems furthest out of reach at the moment: a job. I want to earn money and contribute to society. If I had a job, I'd come back to those nice enough to do requests and get commissions.
Well, I recently read a report that said we were losing jobs at a decreasing rate. Usually that means it's just a matter of time before we gain more jobs than we lose. I also read a report that said the economy often will take a nosedive once every twenty-five years or thereabouts. It then stays down for about two years or so. The last time this supposedly happend was from 1981-1983. I only vaguely recall the time, but this recession does seem a bit more sinister than the ones before it. Part of the problem is that people are starting to realize that they can't live beyond their means forever. The average American owes more than $12,000 in debt. We have to moderate ourselves and balance saving vs. spending. I did that when I had a job, and as a consequence, I had some money built up in my bank account.

has completed a commission for me. It's Kimiko dressed as Maria Traydor from the videogame Star Ocean: Til the End of Time. See it here: [link]

has just completed a nude version of Chantal Du Roquillere. Finally, I got someone to depict her freckles! (Most of the other artists were like "oh, freckles are too much of a pain to draw" or "She'd look better without them.") I think they just didn't want to bother with it. Check them out!
[link]

has finished not one, but two commissions for me! They are Kimiko and Chantal, wearing the uniform from another creation of mine, Lover Camp.

Update! has finished a picture of Angry Kawaii Girl as Rebecca Miyamoto. Check it out! [link]

Recently I stumbled across the web site of and he was offering free commissions. I asked him for one, and now he's done! It's Kimiko in a bikini:
[link]

Update! I've had someone request to see Chantal Du Roquillere cosplaying as Yoko Ritona (Littner) from Gurren-Lagann. Well, has just finished a picture of that. It's one of the best commissions yet!
[link]

In addition, I've just won a Kiriban (I won't say who it is because I haven't confirmed it yet) and there are a couple more free pics in the works of Fangirl and Chantal. Still waiting on confirmation of this.

Now as a service to all those artists that have managed to keep me sane in the turbulance I've been experiencing recently, here's a list of the people I watch (in alphabetical order: )


Support these artists! I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
Please also go to my faves and click on "Characters I created." [link] Support the artists that are helping me drum up support for Secret Agent Fangirl!

Update:
Happy birthday Deviantart! Feliz cumpleaños Deviantart! お誕生日おめでとうございます!
It's a great service to those who can't afford to buy web space. In my short time here, I've seen a lot of great artists post stuff here for everyone to see.
Let's hope it stays good for many years to come!


Update! I found this site ([link]) that will let me make magazine covers, motivational posters, and much more. I'm going to be expanding my empire of sarcastic wit here.

Tagged once again!

The rules on this one are: pick one character that you created and have him/her
answer these questions:

1. Hi! What's your real name and nickname?
My real name is Kimiko Matsuga. My code name at work is Fangirl. That's me as quamp's avatar.

2. Interesting... what's your current age?
"Never trust a woman that will reveal her age, because she'll tell you anything." – Oscar Wilde.

3. Uh huh. What's your favorite food?
Hmm... sushi I guess.

4. What is your favorite drink?
I don't drink. It slows me down on the job.

5. Confession time! Who's your crush/lover?
I don't have one now. I do think Fushimo from the Battle Boyz is cute though.

6. Aww! Have you two kissed yet?
See above question.

7. Classic question! What's your favorite color?
I tend to look good in blue or black.

8. Who's your favorite author?
Psychofunkapaus9 and Blazing_lion [two fanfic writers in Kimiko's world]

9. Now what's your biggest fear?
Hmm... probably that I'll never actually be published.

10. *stifles a giggle* I'm not laughing *bursts out laughing* Sorry. Any siblings?
One older brother.

11. Awesome. Who's your hero?
I don't have a hero. "Just take the parts that you can use/Toss the rest it's just refuse."

12. Ok, who is your worst enemy?
Loudmouth. Not only is he psychotic but he's also perverted.

13. What would you do if your hero and your worst enemy got together?
Wonder how that's possible since I don't have a hero.

14. Interesting... what would you do if you met your creator?
Demand a date with a bishi guy.

15. Okay, I'll contact them right now. Done! Now, what do you want to be when you grow up?
I'm already grown, and I'm doing what I like, when I'm not at work.

16. What's your worst nightmare?
A world without fun, or a world where everyone lives in fear and paranoia.

17. What's your lifelong dream?
I'd like to write the best fanfic ever in the Battle Boyz fandom.

18. What would you do if your lifelong dream came true?
Tell all my friends about it.

19. Ok, where's your favorite place to relax?
In front of my laptop reading good fanfics.

20. Last question! What do you spend most of your time doing?
Working. Thanks to our bad economy, I've been having to put in overtime.

21. We're done! Now tag whoever the hell you want.
Okay! I tag the following:



In other news, I am in the ranks of the unhappily unemployed. If you have project with me that I have not paid for, contact me at once.
So how bad are things really?
Today I was at a job fair. The building that housed it was next door to a four-story parking garage. There is also a train station nearby with an empty auxilary lot. In additon, there is plenty of parking across the street with a lot that covers about two square blocks. There is also a high school three blocks away (classes were not in session, and they let anyone park there.)
I arrived forty-five minutes early, and had to park at a shopping center seven blocks away. The line to the fair stretched out the door, around the building (which is about a city block in size) and down the street another three blocks.

Needless to say, I didn't get in. Then again, employers these days seem to want only people that have inside connections (i.e., you know at least three people in the company that will vouch for you.) Since a lot of places around here are at a hiring freeze, my friends locally aren't able to help.
"We're ready for recovery!" They said on a banner.
Too bad they weren't prepared for just how bad it was. Fortunately, I had sent in my resume in advance to them. They said they'd send it to the employers, whether or not they'll look at it is another thing.
I'm not giving up though. Never let the turkeys get you down. EVER.

Continuing this story...
has done a picture of my character Chantal Du Roquillere in a sexy nurse outfit! I'm very pleased with the results. Check it out below!

[link]
As of this writing, he's been favorited 1,720 times and had over four pages worth of comments.


has just finished a double commission I paid for before getting laid off. The first character is Chimoto, from a series I created called the Battle Boyz (Kimiko's favorite fandom.) The other is Kimiko herself dressed as Kan'u Uncho from Koihime Musou. Two great characters on one image!

[link]

Update!
has done a picture of Chantal cosplaying as Mako from Nerima Daikon Brothers. See it here: [link]

Another commission done: has finished a nude picture of Kimiko! [link]

I've now found a list of clubs at and I'm going to spread my work out some more via these clubs.
So far, I'm in the following club:

I've also applied to the following:

Last weekend was one of the biggest events of the year for any anime fan in Texas. A-Kon, Texas' (and the USA's) oldest ongoing anime convention was held here. Attendance, as expected in a down economy, was down; that really meant more artists were free to do stuff for me though. I had a lot of fun and touted Secret Agent Fangirl to some comic book companies. (Getting off topic for a bit, it really stinks that Diamond upped their requirements. Now every publisher's skittish about a new series.) Strangely enough, the only weird thing I saw was in the bag of free stuff they hand out to you on Friday. Mine had a copy of Logan's Run #4. This is a very old comic book (from 1976) and I only vaguely recall the TV series (since I was in the first grade at the time.) I found out a comic shop in Plano went under and one of the A-Kon officials got stuck with their cheapo comics. Apparently, s/he got rid of them by giving them out at A-Kon.

Well, as I usually do, I had a bunch of artists draw a bunch of pictures based on one series. This time, it was the anime Koihime Musou. The plot basically goes like this: heroine Kan'u Unchou (often misspelled Kanu) was but a child when bandits raided her village and burned it to the ground. The sole survivor, she swore to eradicate all bandits in China during the Three Kingdoms period. Wielding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, she and her friends fight to protect the innocent and eradicate bandits from China. It's very funny in places, it's very violent in others, and there's a trip to the hot spring, so I don't recommend it for kids. The nice thing about it though is that a lot of the costumes are very complex, but all the artists came through on them.

Here's a link to the index page: [link]
If you've never been there before, I've included links to the artist's sites wherever possible. Just click on the character's name beneath the image (or the artist's name if it's a link; some of them have two websites.)
