Today, me and my friend, Aoshi, drew/wrote a card for our friend Shikamaru, who lives right across the street from West Sound Tech (our [summer] school), because we had not visited him for the last week and 1/2 like we usually do (he doesn't/didn't go to West Sound this summer because he has already graduated and didn't need/want another 1/2 credit for engineering design technology) since we were watching Mermaid Melody, Mew Mew Power, and Wedding Peach during our lunch breaks.
Anyways, this is the end result of our hard work......
The Cover Page
It opens from the left and is read from right-to-left (like a manga lol). I drew most of the pictures on the cover except for the penguin (it's Hippo from Mermaid Melody) flying with balloons attached to his back (aoshi drew it). It took Aoshi TWO HOURS to draw and after he was finished he wrote his name in the bottom right corner below the penguin showing that he was the creator of the [shaded] penguin. =_= .... So I left him a nice little note about it on the cover aswell (courtesy of Babbit from the anime "Kodocha").
The Back Cover
The back of the card was designed to look like the last page inside a manga book. And incase you're wonder, manga is read from right-to-left because most Japanese are left handed, and since most Americans are RIGHT handed they might accidently start reading from end to beggining; ruining the story for themselves.
(^_^;) I wanted the (boy) character to look like he disliked/was frightened of anime/manga. Notice the tears in his eyes and the disgusted look on his face.. I also drew him in a West Sound Tech T-shirt (which all of the summer school students got for free on Wednesday) so that he looks like on of the students [in our class] because alot of the students in the EDT class room apparently did not like manga/anime very much....I discovered this when I was trying to spread the word about Aki-Con (an anime convention coming up in October) to the whole class... (^_^;) heheheh....
Inside of the Card
Good job, Aoshi ^^
So, as we were finishing up the card during lunch break; Kyoya came over and had me add a piece to the left side of the [inside of] the card. It talks about how we are not to blame for not visiting him for the past few days and that he could have walked over...blah, blah, blah (you get the just).
Anyways, 15 minutes before the end of the last day of school (today), Aoshi ran over to Shikamaru's house across the street in order to deliver the card (and a notebook that Shikamaru had left). And after returning, Aoshi explained how after rining the door bell twice and no one answering; he dropped the card (and notebook) inside of Shikamaru's mailbox.
Then, for the the last 10 minutes of class, we watched Wedding Peach.
During [summer] school; Aoshi, Meiwakuna (another boy in the EDT class), and I drew on the white board. We decorated the white board with anime pics, funny sayings/quotes, and pancake lemonade. If Aoshi ever sends me the pictures he took of the board I will be sure to post them ^.^
Oh, and i'm sorry to Tony-sensei (our EDT teacher) and Meiwakuna for being noisy during some of the walk-through's/ tutorials and video's that were being shown to other students. I can assure you of this: It was not my fault. It was Aoshi's. He projects WAY too much (lol, no offense/just kidding/bless your little heart Aoshi).
