Japan ahoy! ^__^

Hey everyone, long time no jouranlize.

Thanks to a series of coincidences, a bit of luck and a pocket full of dreams i have somehow accertained a 5 month scholarship to Japan!
needless to say....

----I'M SO GOD DARN EXCITED----

*ahem* however i need to remained calm and cool since i'm working on a big project and would like to get it done before preparing or running around in circles (which btw is a staple action to some kind of achievement for me. When i made it to the finals of RSoM 2006 and 2007, won the expo art contest in 2005, and got my very first commision, all of these were followed with running around in circles shouting god knows what xD)
In this time, since I won't have much access to a computer (the scheme makes sure of this) I'd like to work on a one off Manga comic to have pretty much ready for when i come back to the UK.
As many of you know it's a dream of mine to join Sweatdrop, and so if i'm happy with what i produce, i may finally make the leap of faith and apply >__<
But since it's a fresh one off piece that i have no idea about yet, does any one have any ideas for genre? what kind of characters would you like to see? etc.
If you have any requests/reccomendations please post it here in this journal, it'll be interesting market research for me! ^__^
(then again i don't wanna put you guys on the spot so no worries if not ahhaha)

Thanks for reading, every one of you on my friendlist inspires me in some way or another, thanks for always being my fuel! ;__;
