I'll be there, I can't wait to see you guys and Bushi Tales #2 ^_^ I'm so glad the board is back, I missed it!

[yamabushi]

Hey Melisa! I just knew you'd be the first to post on the boards again. I'm pretty sure you'll be at AniZona, so be sure to drop by the booth. I need to hook you up with some of our cool new stuff. Thanks for always supporting Bushi Tales! It means a lot to me. When I uploaded that Anime style Akiyo avatar I was thinking that might be the one you'd pick.

[melisa]

heheheeheheh HAI!!! I missed the forums muchly! She's my favorite character, I freaked when I first saw that picture in the BT news!! I'll be at anizona, look for me cosplaying as Sesshoumaru XD Awesome, new BT stuffs!!!! ^_______^ You're welcome for the support, I love Bushi Tales. If you'll have copies of the printed versions with you at the con, I'm wanting to buy it. I'm staying at the motel this time since moved to Tuscon XD My bestfriend will be there too, she's cosplaying as Inuyasha, she's coming from Utah!

Odd question: I am looking for the actual COMIC of Inuyasha. Yes a comic, not the manga. A friend of mine has them.. I've seen pics. They're actual comic books!! Do you know anywhere I can try to find them? From what I hear they're ultra rare T_T

Oh yeah I had a complete HD failure.. I lost the Anime style Akiyo, is it still on site? I can't find it.

Melisa,
That is so cool that you are the first to sign up for the new BT board. We appreciate your support. If David's mom wasn't already our #1 Fan we would give you that title. But you are definitely a very close 2nd. So here is to our #2 Fan.

I can't wait to see you at Anizona. I definitely can't wait to see your Cosplay attire.

David says check out the Mile High Comics site for Inuyasha comics. And anime Akiyo is not currently on the site but he can put it up for you.

See you at Anizona!

[melisa]

;D I was like half awake when I got the email that it's like OPEN FIREFOX, NOW!!! LOL I'm the #2 fan. WOOT!

I'm looking forward to the con so much.

Mile HIgh? I'll google it. Yes please put it up for me! I love that picture so much! ^_^

Really looking forward to my first con in AZ! We should have some great looking merch there. Hope you dig it, and the BT panel. Working on the animation for it. It's going to be simple, but hopefully funny! ;D

[melisa]

I want an Akiyo plushie!!

[micah]

And don't forget Joel Gamble will be at Anizona!!! He did the music for the BT soundtrack. I can't wait. I have a lot of fun with Joel at work and will probably have even more fun with him away from work.

Besides he's a cutie and the girls will love him.

[neenjah]

Dave said he thought Joel was hot.

(Man, Dave's going to hurt me for that one!)


An Akiyo plushi..? Hmm...not a bad idea. I've got a Harley Quinn one. Kev's been talking about a Muley one. If I could find a company that could make some good looking ones I'd do it in a heart beat. Action figures and models will probably come first. My next sculpting project(s) is a Mikah bust and a possible Hachiman one, but I'd love to do a 10-12" full body Akiyo. I like the manga style Dave drew. May end up doing one like that.

[melisa]

I'm bringing my BT OST and asking him to sign it for me XD

Yes David just might hurt you for that one. But that was so funny Lin.

YEA!!A Mikah bust.... finally.

Ok now make sure that you give her some nice cleavage and full pouting lips...well I will just send you a picture of me for your reference.LOL

But seriously, is David gonna do a reference drawing for you?

[neenjah]

I've got control art for the Mikah bust. Whenever Dave has time he's going to send me some control art for Hachiman. I'd like to skulpt a full sized helmet, too.
