Bang Zoom! Resumes....
Welcome back, Bang Zoom! I'm glad you have decided to stop hating on YouTube and gone back to being cool again. I don't know if the "RIP anime" thing was a prank (as it didn't really feel like the usual ("vibe of anime cool" I get from them), but on a personal level, I'm glad that controversy finally seems to be calming down a bit.
We'll be in touch...
Speaking of Zoom! I gotta say, aside from IGPX being on Toonami, which surprisingly they haven't spoken much about, one of my other favorite Zoom titles of many was always Heat Guy J, a show created by Satelight anime studio (and Thomas Romain-friend) Shoji Kawamori. I haven't ever met Shoji Kawamori before (has anyone?), but I met Thomas Romain online through Twitter, and he's a really swell guy. Currently according to an email he sent me, Thomas and Shoji Kawamori are headed for Japan Expo over in France. Wish I were there.
How-To [Not] Succeed
Books, Articles, Tutorials, Magazines. School. Teachers. College. Secrets To Success.
Here's the thing. Everything that people want? Everything people want to do? Everything they want to attain?
Forget The Advice and Education You've Been Given. Live From Day to Day.
Discover Your OWN PATH. Because no one will teach it to you even if you wanted them to.
You can't TEACH success and how to succeed.
You can't TEACH how to be rich and famous
You can't TEACH how to draw or write
You DO THESE THINGS
You ARE AND CAN BE THESE THINGS
But if success, prestige, status, wealth, superstardom and power were a science and not an art, wouldn't everyone already BE successful if there really WAS "secrets of success" to discover.
Success is nothing less than a life journey which one must travel primarily solo and alone.
It's only lonely at the top because no one knows anything about it, or how to attain.
Other than perhaps hard work and circumstance (aka LUCK).

How To Draw Gotham style Cities - Tutorial (Perhaps Only) 1 - Form and understructure
There are 2 main Great Cities of Cinema Production Design, if you don't Count Moebius, and the films Blade Runner and Metropolis. 2 Cities which all other animation cities are based on:
Neo-Tokyo (Katsuhiro Otomo) and Gotham City (Batman/Bruce Timm / Ted Blackman Mythos)
Today I am going to demonstrate the essential form of a Gotham-style City.
It's all about building and skyscraper proportions.
Though it does contain divergence, a cities not a city without buildings of parallel height.
If you want to draw cityscapes, start with a pattern of elongated half full rectangles, like rectangular bars.
This is a back-ground foreground trick. This is one way to create the illusion of structure:
DRAW SOMETHING RESEMBLING THIS:
I drew it freehand, but if you're drawing REAL drawings of cities (not sketches, doodles, and warmups like mine here) you really need to use rulers.

Those Crappy Little Details You Always Nod Off With
You know, just because I'm technically a blue blood British-French Royal Disowned Descendant doesn't mean it's going to buy me a house (let alone a mansion or castle), get me a TV show, earn me a fortune, (far as I can tell, I'm headed to the poor house when I'm 50) or even earn me anyone's respect. It probably won't even make me famous. Political Power in the International Community (which is considerably more DIFFICULT to "steal" from me than my face, hair, glasses, or general likeness, which apparently I've always had but was never aware of until last year) doesn't signify anything to the family I currently live with. I have no real clout. Half the time no one cares, and the other half assume you're krazy for evensaying such a thing. That is the reality of being a blue blood in the southeastern United States. Nobody Cares. And you can't really expect anyone to care either
While I'm no Caligula (genius behind such chart topping classics as "FAGGOT!" and "FUCK ISLAM!"), I have done my share of foolish things. And that's saying a lot, because Caligula was a tyrant, a bully, a laughter sniper, a cyberbully and a fool. Not ONLY was he foolish enough to attempt to tyrannize, prostitute, and terrorize everyone in my own neighborhood. He had a pair of BALLS on him, just like Bryan Johnston, but eventually someone (hint: it was me) cut them off and threw his ass in jail. But before that happened, he even had the blind audacity to challenge me at some of the places I still have THE MOST POWER (DeviantART, YouTube, AND the Adult Swim Boards. ALL of which he knew about by hacking and cyberstalking me the same way Hitler did.) First there was he Rise and fall of Hitler and the Nazi Party, which was secretly encouraged by the Deep South KKK, and Caligula's kitten burning and torturing Central Florida "Empire". I'm glad I put a stop to all that. It was QUITE psychotic. But it's a known fact Hitler and Caligula were both power hungry, BOTH SOCIOPATHIC TYRANTS in their little communities, and had both aided and abetted eachothers simultaneous secret plot to overthrow MY real power. I don't think they really knew who they were messing with, otherwise they'd still be trying to pull that "neighborhood terrorist" bullshit, today, 2,000 days later.
And people say I "need a job". I do have a job. Bustin criminals.
And I'm technically not a Politician. I'm a writer. I'm the descendant of a Monarchy, but the adoption which I went through removed me from that lifestyle so much with no one being the wiser, no one takes ME seriously. Everyone worships celebrity in America. Not royalty.
