185/365 Met up with a friend and missed the Oscars but heard Spidey got best animated feature yesterday!!! Congrats to the Spidey Crew you guys super deserved this :DDDDDDD

184/365 I’d totally sit in and help with translating if that was the only thing stopping Elena of Avalor from being a part of the KH world lineup. Still on the Frozen world but was thinking about how Elena has such a good premise/location for an RPG. 通訳とか必要だったらめっちゃ付き合うんでアバローのプリンセスエレナを是非KHの世界の１つに...！！どうでしょうか...！どうでしょうか....！

And sorry for being MIA! Work’s been super busy and I’ve been a bit slow on being on tumblr.

174/365 Watched me some Mob Psycho 100 II last night. It does not disappoint. Super stoked for Sho to come back. (最上編めっちゃ楽しみなんだけど、あそこってアニメ化するんですか。)

I had a pose study thing from FLCL in my instagram post but I don’t think tumblr likes mixing my videos with photos. So if you wanna see the study video, check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_9mZABGo_/

173/365 Bat girl and hospital girl doodles at the end of the day.

172/365 If anyone’s noticing that that I’ve been posting less, I actually got a new job but the commute is insane and I haven’t had energy to do drawing stuff after I get home. (The rain has been tuckering me out this week too.) Trying to get used to this and seeing where the holes are. But update, I’m a storyboard revisionist at Disney TV! :D And it’s been a huge learning curve since it’s my first TV gig but I’m learning a ton! If you see me, say hi I guess? 最近更新が少ないのはディズニーテレビに拾われてバタバタしているせいです...！

171/365 Finished playing this classic right after I got back from Japan. Thanks for putting the first 3 games on sale right after I bought them at full price Nintendo.

[kahokuboart]

169/365 Sorry for the inconsistency guys! Still trying to get oriented to my new job and also the commute 😭This one’s real quick but stems from the question of why is it totally fine for RPG characters to break pots and break and enter into high security places.

[kahokuboart]

167/365 Got to meet some old friends today! And realized I suck at sensing people since I didn’t realize half of the group was coming until one person in our group actually realized they were coming. But it’s so common in anime...

[kahokuboart]

166/365 Finally done with all the freelance work that was due this week before I left to Japan! So gonna try and post but I may try to be recovering. Some updates: I won’t post too many drawings while I’m in Japan starting on Christmas Eve, but you may see me posting photos on Instagram. I’m also out of Sony! I do have another place coming up and I’ll post later when the start day comes closer. Thanks to people who sent messages with work info! It was super helpful and really made me happy to see people offering a hand to help. Also finished playing my first run through of Gris! It’s beautiful and amazing :) I am missing a ton of stuff so I may go in to play some more.

165/365 Spiderverse is out today guys! (On my last day at Sony!) Go support the amazing crew and watch this movieeeeeeee :DDDDDDDD And sorry for the lack of updates, it’s been a busy week with some last minute stuff, packing up my office space, some freelance work and preparing to go visit extended family in Japan!

[kahokuboart]

164/365 Been busy with outside work and it’s my last week at Sony so I’ve been catching up on stuff and running around now :D I’ve also been getting small painting and doodling work so that’s been keeping me busy. Also, I used to scream randomly in quiet places when I was a kid because I thought it was funny. Like a gym with no one in it. And then I would get in trouble.

But I thought it was funny.

Persona 5 is also available on the PS3 if you have one of those.

Aw thanks so much for the info! I remember when they first announced P5 it was said that they were making it for the PS3. I think they then announced a PS4 version and I assumed that they canceled the PS3 version but that’s sweet that it’s on both!

But sadly, I don’t have a PS3... The only big console I have is the Nintendo Switch and the PS2 which my mom won at the McDonalds Monopoly thing, and that was during the time when the PS3 was already out and all... Aside from that, I mainly have the handheld Nintendo consoles. So hoping to get a PS4 once stuff settles down at home and be able to play everything :D

Thanks again for letting me know though!

163/365 Gift art for my cousin who just got engaged! I’ve only met him 3 times in my whole life but wanted to give gift art to his fiance since I won’t be able to see her. (I found out they’re making rounds to his family in Japan, but they warned me that she was super overwhelmed bc my family is a bit weird and they didn’t want to scare her with me and my brother since we are the two American kids in the family.)

And adding on to here, I’ve been asked to make a list of TV shows/anime/artists/etc to recommend that aren’t really well known! While I was making them, I got people reaching out and asking if they can also have access to the list, so I decided to make it on a public platform! If you’re looking for some shows I personally would recommend/like, check it out here: https://kahokuborecs.blogspot.com/

162/365 About that confidence issue from yesterday’s post and the small thing that helped high school me realize that maybe I shouldn’t worry too much. This sushi restaurant is still up and running back where I’m from but the owner who’s best friends with my mom and gave me this advice is close to retiring since he’s been really successful and all. That place is still going strong and I’ve been going there ever since I was a baby.

[kahokuboart]

161/365 I actually was working on this yesterday since I was in a really sad mood and then the tumblr thing was going on and was like “Dude, why am I so sad when there is so much funny insanity going on” and did that tumblr thing yesterday. But I used to have 0 confidence in myself during high school and I might hit on that soon as there’s a little story I like during that time with my family friend who owns a sushi restaurant who taught me how to be confident in myself against people who thought art was a weird career choice.

[kahokuboart]

160/365 I really wanna play PQ2 but I haven’t played P5 and don’t have a PS4 so I’m still considering... I REAAAAAAALLY wanna see Akihiko be a dork again though.

And found out tumblr just removed all of the flags that I posted about yesterday. Did... Did they tell the AI to quit its job...? Oh, the poor AI... At least it bans all art, so maybe it can get a job at an art theft site and just ban everything there so artists can rest easy knowing the art theft site is useless.

I did get an answer to my question yesterday about classical paintings and gesture drawings and stuff. They did get flagged. Not sure about the Mona Lisa, but I did see the Birth of Venus getting a flag. But just you wait, I bet this post is gonna get flagged for the dude in the 4th image with the dot eyes.

[kahokuboart]

Huh.

Well, now all the sensitive content flags make less sense on those past posts that got flagged. Thought those were safe. But, you never know. I’ll still be posting my 365′s here for now. I’m actually super curious to see how much of my stuff will get taken down on the day the community guidelines go into effect. I mean, the Drummer and Trumpeter posts keep getting flagged as sensitive so makes me wonder what about everything else when tumblr has time to go into full effect? I’m gonna bet that everything that has skin is gonna get pulled. So that’s like all of my drawings since faces have skin.

But if you’re planning on leaving tumblr, I’m still posting the same stuff on Instagram so feel free to follow me! Here’s the link: https://www.instagram.com/kahokubo/?hl=en

I do have a twitter but I’m super inactive on and sometimes blabber in Japanese on it about games or things. I dunno, twitter doesn’t sit well with me. So if you find me there, sorry in advance!

Now... What to do about the fanart account because you never know what could happen to that stuff. Gotta start collecting all the artwork and store it away safe and sound. I’m SUPER DUPER curious to see how that account goes when the guidelines go into effect. That one I’m betting everything is gonna get pulled.

It gets long down here but just wanna put down what I found was marked sensitive on this blog after the cut. I’m actually finding this really funny. I know I shouldn’t be, but there had to be an AI involved in figuring out what is OK and not. Like come on. Now I’m imagining a really bad version of Connor from DBH trying to figure out internet safety.

All this below is sensitive. I guess.

I’m tired to hit the review button at this point. Here’s the more ironic part.

This one hasn’t been marked sensitive. It’s probably the one that should have been. I won’t be surprised if it gets marked right after this post.
