ABOUT eECa

[UPDATED]

Since its first establishment in 2006, eECa has somewhat expanded. The name eECa, which reflected the name of the first 4 people in the group has evolved to become EEcafe with the establishment of this website around May of 2007. Since then, EEcafe has also successfully dragged a few artists to join the group, either as a permanent member, or a constant collaborative partner. The profile of these new members can be read in the eECaFE+ section.

[OLD]

eECa consists of four deviantart artists: e1n, Eggy, Chang, and ameru. the group was formed because the members have a certain genre/style that they're particularly good at, and forming a group is a good way for one to complement what the other ones are lacking. e1n specializes in drawing bishie and (despite being of the male species) some non-explicit yaoi. Eggy specializes in drawing explicit/non-explicit hentai. Chang specializes in monsters and guro. ameru is still having an identity crisis, although recently she's developing some guro fetish.

as a group name, "eECa" was picked partly because the members believe that a group name should be simple enough for all of its members to remember. the members agreed that a group name should not create more complications to our already-complicated life in this universe, and so they combined the first letter in their names to form e E C a.

eECa started out without the "a" part. eEC was established in may of 2006 when weekly SHONEN JUMP released an inconceivably, unbearably lame chapter of naruto. the three initial members of the group then released the first ever long strip featuring e1n, Eggy, and Chang. in this strip and the next few, e1n was still a human. it wasn't long until the group decided that a human being is overly complicated to draw, and consequently e1n was turned into a panda, which he remained as until now.

during many early doodlechat sessions, which eEC use as a tool to make fun of just about everything (especially Chang's short arms), ameru kept making cameos. as a result, in september of 2006, eEC decided to bring her in as a part of the group by officially turning her into a cat. eEC then obtained an extra "a" at the end and became the eECa as we know today.

the group's main difficulty at the moment is the fact that its members are scattered across northern america, and so the communication is mainly done through the internet. however, they hope to one day establish a real studio where the members can physically meet and collaborate on many things (or kill each other, whichever works).

eECa members share the same great passion for humor, which they always try to incorporate in everything they produce. they strive to entertain readers with amusing art and comics, while pissing off a few hardcore narutards along the way. in any case, look forward to the day eECa becomes a physical studio in 2561.
