In the nigh-endless quest to make all of the links on the HD front page point to something, I’m proud rather ashamed to present the first rushed, sloppy entry in Under Election: the saga of a website, a man, his search for the ineffable moe, a mascot, and her quest for world domination. Maybe if I keep up this level of craptasticness someone will come along and volunteer for art duty…

You look just like Gendou Ikari.
I actually came up with this a few months back.. ^^; Not moe enough, though? (Sorry for not replying to the last email you sent last..November, I think.. ^^;)
Sounds like a long, disturbing, and epic struggle is beginning. :P
hay there, if you’re looking for just a character illo, I night be able to help, I’ve found a lot of cool shit off hd, i wouldn’t be averse to returning the favour.
yeah, you do look like Gendou >_>”

I AM Gendou Ikari. Minus the son. I do have a bunch of pubescent clones of my dead wife sitting around in the freezer, though.

To quote Satou from NHK: Moessu! Saikoussu!! …come to think of it maybe that was Sasahara. Anyway, that’s pretty sweet. A bit more of a grown-up, cool sort of moe than I was envisioning, something like like Winter Garden Dejiko vs. original Dejiko, but I like what you’ve done with her. Do let me know if you’re interested in experimenting a bit more.

It may turn out to be a very short, indeterminate struggle, but I can at least guarantee that it will be disturbing. orz

Wow, thanks for the offer. I may take you up on that… I’m looking for “moe”, and a good way to go about it might be to see what different artists envision when they think of the term. I’m feeling the beginnings of a brain wave here… let me get back to you.

I swear, give me a pair of white gloves and some black hair dye and a whiny adolescent son and you couldn’t tell us apart.
Experiment? Sure. :)
HAY MAN!! I’d love to take it up on drawing demo-tan related crap.
Wow, I didn’t expect this sort of interest. Thanks, guys.
I’m going to work on coming up with a way to showcase anything you felt like doodling, basically to give artists an integrated soapbox here on HD to plug yourselves, your site and work, and your vision of moe (if you don’t mind working with characters I’ve created…). I’ll have an example of the format up here within the next few days, and will get ahold of you in the interim to let you know the details. I think this could be really cool. :D
