Haha. I just can't get enough of of the way you portray excitement so perfectly. Have you ever considered doing anime? Also, do you do any other sorts of art? Maybe concept art?
Of course, some claimed that the countryside sale in Japan is really incredible... at 80-90% off! But I don't want to travel to the countryside just to buy some off-season cheap clothes...
I always have problem disposing those "special trash" in Japan...always forget to throw them on the right day...
Thanks a lot! :joyful:Haha. I just can't get enough of of the way you portray excitement so perfectly. Have you ever considered doing anime? Also, do you do any other sorts of art? Maybe concept art?
Pretty much all cell phones have a scheduling feature. I set mine to remind me to throw out certain trash on certain days with a ring and a message the day before.
For your next comic, I suggest one about how the Japanese sort their trash but in fact, some of it does not get recycled. They just burn it. People wash things like plastic containers meticulously, and stack and tie everything neatly...and they just burn it with the rest of the garbage. Its freaking insane.
Waste disposal in Japan
And that calls into question the rest of the recycling gig.
Very nice comics by the way. Really good job!
Thanks a lot! :joyful:
I used to do 3D modeling and texture, but basically the job can be contracted to cheaper countries like Korea, so future job prospect wasn't so bright for me. Moreover, I preferred to do my own ideas XD
Here's my 2007 demoreel after I graduated from AAU in SF:

What an awesome reel! Were those done in ZBrush? I thought the game(?) demo was pretty impressive!
Tell me, would you happen to know if there's much of a motion graphics job market out there? At the moment I've got about 8 years of experience with Photoshop and I've been branching out to After Effects a bit. Ultimately, I'd love to become a cinematic effects designer or something of the sort.
Thanks! It was in zbrush, it was really hot back then.
I'm not as good as my Korean classmates, their work was incredible and the guys could glue their eyes to the screen 24/7!
I'm not sure if you want to venture into the VFX industry, as you know, even top studio like Rhythm and Hues went bankrupt.
VFX jobs demand long working hours and stamina which I don't have. But one of my friend is proud that he is working for a big studio and his name appeared in Transformers credits, which is only noticed by themselves... Many artists get burnt out eventually and became teachers in art schools. That's because If you aren't promoted to a director post, you would be competing with many junior artists that are full of energy and stamina to do work round the clock. Eventually, the studio sees you as a slow and expensive artist to keep and ask you to leave... ...

Japanese seldom haggle over discounts.
Thanks! Yes, it's I'd, the ' is kinda small~
Next strip about closing sale!
Hahaha, this one is brilliant! It's the same way in America, everyone's always having "last chance" sales and never closing (big name stores included, as dumb as that is). The "EVERYTHING MUST GO" made me laugh out loud. xP
Some businesses in Japan do the exact same thing. Men's clothing stores and cheapo furniture stores especially.
Is that so? I hadn't really thought about it before -- I figured that countries like America would be the only ones to really exploit that "trick".
Yes there are readers in my FB page who feedback that some Japanese stores do the same thing, not many though.
But where I stay, they close for real!
I could actually see them trying hard to slash prices (still expensive), then their stock was reduced gradually... and then finally the metal shutters come down.
You know, it's really hard not to love everything I hear about Japan just by virtue of it being Japanese. That has it's exceptions, obviously -- I don't assume for a second Japan is perfect. Still though, there are so many nuances about Japanese culture that I read about and they seem to focused on honesty, modesty, being helpful, etc. That, or it's just a shock to think that a place where business people won't try to bend you over for every penny to your name through trickery actually exists!
This has been the first time I've read a thread from start to finish (so far)... I love your comics! They are so fun and cute, please keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing with us. ^_^
