Welp. I’m here. The last stretch before the JET Program interview results come in. I’ve been a nervous wreck waiting for them. Last year, they started rolling in as early as March 30th, though the general window is April 1st-11th from what I hear.
Regardless, it’s very nerve wracking waiting for an email that’ll tell me one of three things: Shortlisted (accepted), Alternate listed (wait list), or rejected. If I get short listed, I’ll be on my way to work in and live in Japan. If I get alternate listed, it’ll suck waiting longer, but I won’t lost hope because a lot of alternate listers do get upgraded. And if I get rejected, well, I don’t really wanna think about that right now…
Here’s hoping for the best.
Good luck! I wish I’d been brave enough to try for it when I was younger. 30′s probably a bit too late to try ..
Thanks, but no, it isn’t too late. The cut off age for JET is 45. You can do it if you’re 40, but points are deducted from your score for that age. Those who are up to the age of 39 will not have points deducted from their score.
All you need is at least a bachelor’s degree and an interest in Japanese culture. The highest point value is assigned to your statement of purpose and letters of recommendation, in that order. Teaching experience or experience taking care of kids is also worth a good amount of points. Japanese language knowledge is bonus points, but not required unless you’re applying to be a CIR, which is a minority of JETs.

A lot of things, but mostly, a desire to keep improving and make a good living for myself

Thank you!
I’m not sure. CSP and MS5 are the exact same program, so even if you have to get rid of one, it won’t hurt you.
Yep! It’s all accounted for on my end. I downloaded CSP, and then punched in the MS EX key and it worked.
So I was told by the Clip Studio twitter people that while you can transfer a Manga Studio licence to a CSP one, you couldn’t do it with a MS EX licence to transfer to a CSP EX one. However, I tried it and it worked!!
So yeah, if you have a Manga Studio EX key, what you do is, you download Clip Studio Paint and then when you open the program, go to Help > Register Licence and punch in your MS EX code. It worked for me and I’m really glad I didn’t have to buy another licence.
I don’t, unfortunately. All I have are his beta sprites . To be honest the only thing that changes between renditions of him is the roundness of his tum and cheeks because I’m inconsistent. There’s also the Valentine’s pic of him from last month.
Hope that helps!
I’ve been busy with school and applying for a ton of jobs, so I haven’t worked on anything other than core concepts and notes. I also drafted a logo today.

That said, I can’t really give an ETA on when I’ll start the meat of the project seeing as I don’t even know if I’ll be moving to Japan this summer or not, but rest assured once everything settles down, I’ll be working on it in regular increments.
CAN’T WAIT FOR MY SHINHAN MARKERS TO GET HERE ON FRIDAY OHBOYOHBOYOHBOY

Dunno! I’ll have to play around with it sometime.
If you have Clip Studio Paint or Manga Studio 5, you should update because they added animation features. You can make up to 24 frames with the normal version and unlimited with the EX. If you have Manga Studio, you can use the serial for it to get Clip Studio.

Ordered a 48 set of ShinHan markers among other supplies and it’s all thanks to your support! Thanks to everyone who commissioned me and reblogged my commission post! I’ll let everyone know my impressions once I use them. I hear they’re on par with Copics (which includes being refillable and having replaceable tips) but cheaper.
Last slot’s been filled. Thanks everyone!
Acta est fabula~!
Hey guys, if any of you have experience with traditional art, mind recommending marker brands to me? I know Copic is the big name, but they’re a bit out of my price range and seem to perpetually be out of stock at online retailers. I tried Prismacolor but I wasn’t too happy with them when I used them.
I heard that ShinHan is considered the top competitor to Copic and are cheaper. Has anyone used these? Also as far as sketchbooks, which ones have the best protection against bleeding?
Thanks!
And reblog this with your favorite pun?
thank u

I did this silly little thing on twitter a few nights ago where I asked people to show me a picture of their fursona and I’d give them a little compliment. I was surprised by how many takers I had and honestly found it cute + endearing how much people appreciated being told lil’ nice things about their character.
Just the little things in life, you know?
