Long Silence
I have not posted anything here in a while so I thought I should at least say why.
I have completely lost my motivation to write.
When I first started writing fan fiction over a year ago it was a project to improve my writing speed and skill. While I have always done reasonably well with writing I had never been particularly verbose or descriptive with it and I needed both of these things to produce a research report of high enough quality to complete my masters degree.
I succeeded in my goal of improving my writing skills and completing my degree. I have however largely come to the realization that I have failed as a writer in creating a story that grabs the readers attention and keeps their interest.
What is worse, judging by the reader response, I feel my efforts to understand the characters that I borrowed and keep them in character or show a logical motivation and progression to changing their behavior has been a complete waste of time as very few people besides me seem to care about this.
I have come to a realization that to get lots of interest in fan fiction and crossovers involving Ranma as the main character you need two things:
1) an automatically super Ranma (who cares how he got that way, or he does not act a thing like the actual character) capable of solving all the problems of another anime world.
2) lots of action (don't worry if the activity has nothing to do with the world Ranma is entering, or Ranma)
The short version of all this is writing is no longer fun for me, and has not been for some time.

Shadow Rise
I have not been writing much the last couple of weeks. Since I finished school, I decided to finish playing through the copy of persona 4 I borrowed from some friends so I could get it returned to them. Not to mention playing with my new toy.
So here is the latest piece of Fan Art I have created, stepping away from Ranma for a bit. I created one of Shadow Rise from Persona 4. Cute but dangerous.

3D artwork
Well I am starting to get motivated to write again. Playing persona 4 and my new toy are getting in the way a bit. Here is the further experiments in digital art I have created and mini stories to go with them.
Ranma walked into the suite he shared with his aunt and cousin. "So are we still going out for ice cream Kari-nee?"
Little Akiri perked up at this, but her mother grabbed her shoulder before she could run off. "Sis wants something first."
"And that is?" The young man asked.
"She thought a group picture would be nice." Kari smiled as Ranma's cabbit jumped up on the passthrough to the kitchenette with a digital camera in her paws.
Ranma looked at the young woman with a raised eyebrow. "Why do I get the feeling there is something your not telling me."
"Nothing really," Kari replied with a mischievous grin. "I just wanted to show her us girls getting ready for an ice cream run."
"Ah," Ranma sighed. "I see. You buying the ice cream?"
"So Kari-nee," Ranko asks lightly as they walk along the beach after getting ice cream. "How quickly can you change out of those conservative clothes if we wanted to really knock the food vendors out?"
"Who needs to change clothes?" Kari returns with a giggle. The younger girl lets out an incoherent squeal as she turns.
"Kari-mama!" Akiri shouts.
The red furred cabbit of the group lets out a giggle as she snaps another picture.
On a warm spring day a man walks through a small thicket, wondering at the beauty of nature around him so close to the city. Stumbling and twisting his ankle he suddenly realized that the city might be farther away then he would like.
"Would you like me to to come to your rescue?" A girl's voice asks from behind him. As he turns to look his eyes go wide in shock, and his pain is forgotten to the embrace of sweet oblivion.
The girl giggles as she looks down at his prone form.
"Tell me again why we are doing this." Paru asks the redhead with her on the beach blanket.
"Well we did talk quite a few of the others into posing for pictures for the website." Kari says with a grin down at her ministra.
Haruna Saotome snorts. "Like you really need an excuse to pose."
"And you do?" Kari snickers at the younger girl.
"Okay, enough talking.' Kazumi calls out. "Smile for the birdie!"
Training never stops, not even in heaven. This is just a pic I created to show off the model for Akiri
"What is with these costumes!" Ranko fairly screeched at her aunt.
"You said you wanted to have a photo of yourself and Inhoshi." Kari said with only a slight giggle. "You also let her pic the outfits."
"I wanted something attention grabbing." Ranko's golden eyed body double snickered at her glare. "I thought something like Hanaukyo Maid Team would be fun."
"Even the bed warmer trio in that did not wear anything like this!" Ranko shouted.
"But you promised." Inhoshi sniffled. "Please?"
As her cousin breaks down to the cabbit girl's pleas, Paru leans over to whisper in Kari's ear. "Funny how Ran-chan did not start to protest until after she put the outfit on."

New toy to play with
I finally tried my hand at creating some artwork. I still can't draw but I found a 3D animation program that is fairly fun to work with called DAZ studio. Here is a couple of pictures I have created with it.
