Welcome to the fourth, and almost definitely final, version of SHOBA. SHOBA, or Satan's House of Bad Art, was the brainchild of a bunch of Sailor Moon fans...also known as Satan and the Horde. We wrote a Sailor Moon themed 'zine together for a few years, and of course there was art. Most of it was pretty bad. When the 'zine stopped, we moved online to carry on the shenanigans, and so SHOBA was born, back in October 2001. The fun didn't stop with the 'zine, because we managed to attract our own pet troll, Necron, and one of Satan's ex-boyfriends showed up for some trolling fun, too. Good times were had by all. But with our background out of the way, let's introduce the artists:
Satan, Princess of Darkness
I run this place with an iron fist, virgin sacrifices, and lots of doom booze.
I have the largest amount of art here, due in no small part to me running the place, so I can just zippity-zap my art online. I also do quite a lot of art for my original fiction project, the Guardians. I like to try anything once in my art, but I am most comfy with quick pen and ink sketches.
Chibi pJ
Chibi pJ, short for Chibi Princess Jupiter, was one of Satan's longtime cohorts.
PJ was mainly into CG art, editing existing images, or doing reproductions of official artwork. She also helped with the beginnings of the Guardians, though the story probably took quite a different turn from what she expected. She has since moved on to being "grown up" and drooling over Queen instead of Sailor Moon.
Karen, the Artist
If any of us here had any real hope of being an artist who gets paid, it was Karen.
Karen has much more art than what is posted here, and most of it puts the rest of us to shame. She also has some short manga scanned here -- one finished and one not. I heard she's living the artist life these days, and I'm not at all surprised.
The Succubus
The Succubus is Satan's second in command.
You know that slacker friend you have who's really talented and never reaches her full potential? That's our beloved Succubus. When you get her in the right mood, she makes wonderful art. When she's feeling frivolous, you get Vampire Hunter and Doom Fezes.
Guests
The Horde is always up for fresh blood...I mean guest art.
Current guests include out favorite troll, Necron, Romancer of Darkness, as well as Lady Sally, Sam, and some random kid (really, I don't know who drew the blood angel, the Horde just threw that picture at me and told me to use it). I also put some of my grandmother's art here, because why not.
If you would like to join our hallowed halls, you are welcome to submit some art. I ask only that it relates in some way to the site -- Sailor Moon, Guardians, or Necron. Email Satan at ladyphoenix9 AT hotmail DOT com with your art files.
