Many of you are probably familiar with the name Kojichan or Kojichao, known here as Cinna Mint. She's an incredible artist widely known as one of the best in Sonic fandom, and one of the first to gain notoriety for it. Until now, Chao Flight Path v2.0 (which is part of the NSI network) served as her personal blog while she was working on finalizing details on a shop section, which is now complete! Basically, you can buy really high quality versions of her art in several formats, from full-size to postcard size and even bookmarks. She normally prints them with her awesome printer which is really close to laser quality, but you can also get them laser-printed and laminated on request, and signed too naturally. Check it out at her website! http://kojichan.neosouthisland.com/prints/

I was wondering, does Cinna draw fan-characters? I'm curious, because if she does, I'd love to get a few when I make some money.

wow. o_O;; You make it seem like I'm someone super famous or something. XP;;;; I can do fan-characters, but they take extra time and stuff. x.x;;

Oh, and I understand the extra time it would take. Now... to procure some funds. =P

Lawl. Famous only in THIS community. XDD Apparently Kuro posted this on a GameFAG's board, and they were like, "HORRIBLE ARTIST I'D NEVER BUY THAT -- BORING ART -- TOO PLAIN" etc. lmao

xD but that's GAMEFAQS, they're the (almost) living, breathing definition of "Moron". Everyone I knew and showed your artwork to was amazed or at least impressed and liked your art. ^^ Even the ones who didn't like Sonic. Though I'm going to have to say, I favor your original artwork to your Sonic art. That's just me though. EDIT: too plain? You should draw http://www.virginmedia.com/images/lemmy-mojo-300.jpg going up against http://www.creaturescape.com/buildups/kaiju/godzillafw/GodzillaFWfinal6-800.jpg and http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b279/Javi_Jay/RPT/dnw_zoidberg.jpg, while reading http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/2/2b/000.png a bedtime story. That'd show 'em.

They represent the people who have no idea what true artistic talent is. Once I save the monies, I'd like to get full-size prints of Grompy, Xing Zao, and Hoshizora. =P

Yeah I know, GameFAQs boards FTFL. Still, I figured that SOME smart people might see the publicity I posted... Guess I was wrong. >P

A little off-topic... maybe... but I have to do this... Random trivia... Did you know that the name Kojichan was created as a reference to James, from Pokemon? In the Japanese version, he was named Kojirou, sometimes shortened to Koji. The -chan suffix was appended due to Cinna's love of the character, and thus, Kojichan was 'born'. This has been an otaku post, brought to you by Ren'ai, resident otaku. =P

To continue the story, she tried registering as "Kojichan" on Green Visions(?), to find out someone had already taken the name. In an attempt to find a similar, yet different name, she tried Kojichao, which I do believe is based on the fact that she loved chao, and had a Chao named Koji. xD Later, she found out that she HERSELF had the name Kojichan on GV(?), and just forgot. (She hadn't been on in a while). Her personal phone number is 305-GET-AWAY, and her cell number is 994-OHS-NOEZ. *SHOT*

This is the beginning of the KojiPedia =D

Posted by: Cinna Mint Feb 7 2009, 13:01 PM

Close on both of your guys' parts. XD Kojichan - The meaning: I use to RP James on a few text-based RP places (not forum), and I was RPing with someone's fan-character, who was a TR "Member". She constantly terrorized James, poked fun of him, and even put bubblegum in his hair. she nick-named him "Koji-chan", as a way to make fun. But I liked the name, so I adopted it. And as for KojiChao: I started browsing a Sonic hacking site back in 2001ish, looking for help on how to hack Sonic 3, so I could put Shadow in there. I had used the name Kojichan when I signed up, but I had forgotten the password/forgotten I signed up with that name, and months later, came back to try again. I got upset that "someone took my username", and Typo'd Chao, as I had been on a Sonic fling, with Chao. Thusly, Kojichao was born. XP; I should pick one, and not alternate like that. XD;; But it was an honest mistake that spurred the name. Ah well. Kojichao is now the purple Chao persona that I have adopted.

=O! Her greatest rivals are Kojichap, the British version of her, Kojiman, whom is ...rather odd, as he has a FoxHound logo on him, and is a man. He's a super hero, but I think I know who he is. Then there's ChojiKan, the evil version of her... *SHOT* XD I'm having too much fun with this.

Posted by: D-loader Feb 14 2009, 18:05 PM

Right, I recieved my order today =D! It only took 6 days for it to arrive, which is pretty good considering this is europe. The pictures are really good; The resolution is high, and they're just as crisp as they'd be on a good monitor. They arrived safely, with cardboard covering the pictures, to avoid damage during the transportation. All the products were signed, which is really awesome! Sadly, my webcam does not capture the true quality of the pictures. Overall, I'm very happy. If you consider buying a true piece of sonic-community history, you're really in for a treat ^^

Posted by: Kurøsan Nitebird Feb 15 2009, 04:34 AM

I want some of my own. Too bad Cinna's so far cause-- Oh wait... >P But yeah, as D-loader said, all pictures are extremely high quality professional grade prints and are protected with plates of cardboard to ensure that they're in perfect condition once you'll receive them. ^^

She told me long ago in Ye Olden Times. :B Good luck with selling some stuff! I might buy something off you when I stop being cheap can.
