When I lived in Gainesville, I was heavily into anime, manga, video games, and the fantasy genre as a whole. One of my favorite web comics at the time was MegaTokyo by Fred Gallagher and Rodney Caston. Though I haven't flicked through MT lately, I still have my framed Pirogoeth Poster. It is my full intention of having her in my living room battling it out (or defending) Conan.
I should own up to it, as I am certain it will come out eventually. I play Dungeons and Dragons. Try as a may, I am a geek girl at heart. Though I may not have an arsenal of gadgets, weapons, or other neat stuff any longer, I do have things I treasure from it. My poster was framed by a fellow gaming chica, Alison, so it carries an extra value to it. I do not have much in the wall decor department, but this is still one of my favorite pieces.
I would like to place her somewhere in the room where I can draw on her creative power. Believe it or not, I also dabble in fiction writing. I have a large expanse of wall between the intended dining and living room, so I think she may be best put there. She comes with a brushed metal frame which matches her armor, but it is not too dark. I think my students may enjoy it as many of them love Japanese comics, but they will find it interesting that the artist is actually American. The folks at MT are celebrating their tenth anniversary, so ole Pirogoeth here has been re-released along with Broken Miho.
My copy of this poster got damaged when it was shipped to Japan. I don't know if I should get it because I don't want to overload my living room. She may look nice in my bedroom, but I am still on the fence about it, as there is this newer poster, Polesitting Miho. I don't want to hang too many dark pieces, so I may need to revisit the addition of Miho at a later date (but not too late as the former print is a limited time release).
I want to keep my apartment chic, yet I cannot help from making it a little geek, too.
