Impressive. Once you go big, I can brag I knew you... through a video game ^^

Wow, Sai those are seriously cool.
Having seen Avatar recently I'd have to say even if it's just through a video game - it's still knowing someone.
"I see you" ha, can't that be applied here?
anyway if no one gets my semi not clearly explained connection ...
but yeah it's so awesome Sai !!

Thanks for the cheers everyone! <8D I'll do my best!
@Shig, not fo'sale, these are just test volumes I made.
@Kana, Ha, I'll be waiting for that day eagerly
@Yumi, I didn't get the avatar part of yer comment~ <8|, But hey! Thanks for cheering and supporting & commenting all the time for me!
---------------------------------- AAAnyway. Down to the point of my reply. Shig asked if I could draw a picture he showed. And, yes Shig. I did. (I said someday, that someday is today.) Done with extreme speed AND laziness. So no inking, no refining. I just leave it crude as it is.
Original is here: -> Link And no, I didn't draw it, I handcopied it. Hope you get the point.
Disclaimer: (Just for teh lulz) I doth not own the character (Koga Sayoko). Nor the art that I copied, which is of Kurehito Misaki's. That said, nothing of this is mine... except the paper I used? <8D
... Wish I could ACTUALLY draw characters that good~ T^T

Right after I get enough energy and dignity to dare do something as handcopying again, I promise you'll see a Sailor Moon one here XD, question is, which Sailor you want?
So anyway, once in a while it's nice to draw something out of character for me. This time a more of a bishonen/shoujo-manga typed character. A change from my commando-like male characters all the time~~ enough of blabbering. Go back and enjoy the pic. I know you must have looked first then came back up here to read this! >8O
Shading by mouse is a pain, because I don't have my natural color and shadow sense that I have in my motor skills >8| (I didn't handshade this pre-scan this time, like I usually do)
So shading this made me wanna go -> (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻┻
So I gave up halfway~ Sorry for the lack of good quality~ (No hair shade etc. Only 2 tone shadows)
Aaanyway. This character is a personification of a Pokemon character: Typhlosion I found personifications in danbooru to my liking, apparently, so I got excited and joined the fun! XD Don't agree? Check this out ---> By some artist

Allright! Here it is! The second page of my contest attending work! \(^0^)/
Complete with logo and artist n stuff. It's in finnish, as the contest's judges obviously prefer to read it in finnish like most other works that also sport finnish.
I've also got the english version of this, but too lazy to upload both, nyoro~
Annnyway, just a sneak peek at what it'll turn out to be!
[Fine, Translations] -"Is he new?"
-"Yup! This is his first assignment with us. Still, he's not exactly new on this field of work."
-"Welcome to the Elyndil Academy, I am Aereck Lawrence."
-"They call me Grey, nice to meet you Aereck."
-"Hm~ a curious name... But let us discuss somewhere else"
----END of translations, have fun learning new words/languages~~

@Shig - Kekeke, there's a female assistant already btw. What are you, long-distance-esp-mind-reader? XD
@Yumi - I read doujins more than mangas, support my comrades-in-arms~ XD, so yeah, like Shig said, who knows? Kekeke... Well, I got the capability to do it tho~ but right now I gotta focus on different stuff.
@Steve - Give it a try! If you want some tips or a full out lecture of everything I know related to manga, ex. how not to kill yourself by drawing too much, I can give hints and techniques like the usage of psychology. But, seeing as you are a pretty adept artist, I'm sure you'll work your way around them with no sweat, hit it bro! You've got someone backing you up! XD Also, I like how well your MC is drawn~
Anyway, how-to-almost-kill-yourself-making-manga~ made in a day.

Fine, just one thing I wanna say, I think I almost killed myself working on this~~
P.S: @Shig -
Anyway, this is for a Global Me-course. The course revolves around globalization and cultural encounters etc. Go google it.
I discovered that the deadline for the Global Me-course was this saturday, and I haven't even started making the comic I said I was gonna.
At first I was going to give up, but I managed pull myself to start drawing the panels, one by one. I quickly grew discouraged around 10%, but I just kept drawing.
I'm glad I did pull myself through it! ^_^ Also, I learnt that everyone had to make some sort of thing to present to the audience during the closing event, I almost dug myself a grave there by giving up.
Then again, I almost dug my grave by drawing this too~ >8V I intended to just make the borders and align the character into it at first, but then I felt like making the text so I didn't forget what I had to write. Then the speech bubbles followed afterwards so I could align the character's size better.
And then I before I knew it, I started to align the character already and began to fill and screentone it!
I am astonished at how thick-headed I am and this proved to me that I can do it, even if I lose hope, my subconscious just kicks me forward!
Originally it had two examples, the chopstick and another example. But due to constraints, and ofcourse, lazy discouragedness, I cut some of it off.
Also, for those wondering about the last panel, this thing is supposed to be a oral presentation, and because I don't have a proper squeaky voice for the character, I picked my friend to do the reading. Because obviously I am not gonna be standing in front of the audience waiting for them to read it then go forward! >8V
Anyway! HELL YEAH! GO ME!
This kept me alive during the making of this -> It's from Kuroneko's/Kanade Tenchin's seiyuu, maybe that will make you wanna click it.

Also, shig, does that qualify for moe by looks? Ze,
Anyway, New page~
Originally fight scene was supposed to be 1/3 of the oneshot, but I ran out of space, so I stuffed everything into one page with 3 others to end the fight~

I like the way that panel is set up.
I'm so tired and it's not even 11 ... I think I'm going to start going to sleep at 10 pm .. I feel like tehre's things happening in the morning and I'm just missing out.
Bythe way I read this article explaining possible reasons why all the day time soap operas are all cancelling
They say it's because that female demographic of stay at home mom that used to watch soaps now play farmville ...
and one of the reasons is that their soap opera stars weren't interacting back with them enough ...
pixels ... people ... people behind pixels ... pixels ... people ...
maybe one of the talk show things should be about dehumanizaing the person behind the comptuer ...
that brings me to my serious rant today which is that I just wanted a nice day of going out but was seriously hounded at like every opportunity ...
Freaking just trying to get something at Fossi ... mother's day gift ... two guys freaking like team tagging stalker powers ... hey so what were you doing ... do you have any fossil stuff ... I really like your hat ... I really like your bag ... it's like EFF OFF ... then I tell them I saw Hanna .. and I liked it .. and the guy is like ... I saw it ... I didn't like it .. and i'm like great ... looking at bracelets ... hey are you looking at that feather one ... I really like that one ... yeah I was ... turn away ...
Then I leave ... talk to my brother about the mother's day gift ... go back in ... hey what are you guys' plans for later ... going out to dinner ... where? .... el cerrito area ... i was there yesterday ...
OKAY I KNOW .. but you weren't there ... seriously when I shop and I look around the store I LIKE SOME PEACE AND QUIET ... I hate those sales people who like follow you around ... And these guys do this everytime ... they don't just let you shop ... and it's so IMPERSONAL because they have like the same set of questions everytime ... last time the guy went on about my mom's key chains ... which were felt bears I made ... and he almost went as far as to almost ask me to make him one ... he's like if I had one of those I'd put it on my bag too ...
Bought my bag and gtfo ...
then the next store or store before that I was just looking thru some racks of clothing and the girl comes up to me and basically spends five minutes straight telling me allthe things and sales I can buy ... as if I CANT READ EVERY DAMN SIGN ... I CAN READ ... why put the signs up if you're going to follow people around telling them ... I saw a cute shirt then she bothered me and then everything looked cheap and made me angry ... grr grr
And my brother went to see's candy without me so I coudln't just go in for free chocolates and leave ... though I haven't been above that at times ...
Then I went to Raleys which happens to have a Chase thing inside and I JUST WANT TO CASH A CHECK but they have four people and none of them are behind the teller thing ... so a lady takes me into her office .. and starts chatting me up about how my hat reminds me of her time in Paris and how she wishes she had spent seven years in college .. and omg .. she says she is having her counselor moment ... and I'm like is my check done processing cause I came in here for some groceries not to have a life lesson ... and then she asks me to verify all my information which is like why ... I was just in the bank the other day doing this crap ... this is why I like the impersonalness of computers ... because they don't waste my time unless they're broken ... which in that case they waste a lot of my time ... and then as if I'm stupid .. she's like I'm going to go ahead and set up a credit card for you ... and I'm like no thanks ... cause they did this crap to me last time ... and she's like trying to say all the nice things and i'm like .. I'm not stupid ... I know what a credit card is, I know its benefits and I don't really have the time right now to read every detail which is what I want to do before getting one so I don't end up paying for something I don't really need right now ... etc. etc .... this used to only happen at Well's Fargo but ever since Chase bought over WaMu now it's like having your wallet stolen by your own bank ...
And I'm not mad that they chat with me ... I used to work as a salesperson and I talked to people all the time ... but these people have this robotic way of speaking ... which I see thruoguh as trying to form rapport so they can sell me something ... hello guys at fossil I'll buy SOMETHING WHEN I DAMN WANT TO ... and HEY LADY AT CHASE ... IM NOT EFFING STUPID AND AN IDIOT ... WHEN I WANT IT I"LL COME IN AND GET IT ...
Then as I'm getting into my car this lady in a HUGE truck gets behind me and says hey i noticed the damage to your light ... I can fix that you know .. and I'm like I already took it to the shop and it runs perfectly fine ... she's like i"m just curious how much you paid cause I can do it for less ... and I'm like lady it runs fine .. I sit on the effing inside I can't even see the outside .. in fact I Like it like this because people stay the damn hell away from me when I'm driving because i've got this huge thing on the side of my car that says hey I've hit things and get too close and you're going to be effing one of them!!!!
Anyway ... then I got home and I wasl ike .... why did I ever wonder why I stay home. Why I internet shop ...
Seriously ... I get times are hard but is it so hard to not be effing hassled everywhere I go.
And people might be like .. those people were jut being nice ... TRUST ME I UNDERSTAND what it's like to be on the other end, having to sell things ... but if you really want to sell something don't be so obvious with your fake attempt to form a relationship ... I'm not the type of person who is going to buy something cause you're bothering me ... more likely I'm just going to feel angry ...
Anyway ... then I relaxed, drank coffee, browsed animepaper.net, thought about a new banner. Couldn't decide which new anime to choose ...
Thought about how Game of Thrones ... isn't as good as I thought ...
went out to eat Korean food ... which is so nice because the lady knows ... no meat extra kimchi and the world is good again ..
until I try to get a milk tea boba and it's cold and she's hassling me that I didn't tell her to make it hot ... and when they make me a new one it isn't hot anyway ... luke warm ... for a moment.
And it gave me a stomach ache ...
anyway ... that turned out longer than I had imagined it would be when I started ... I forgot what I was talking about ... isn't this Sai's comic sector ... >.> sorry Sai.

Favorite part of the rant.
You know whats always fun to do to nosy people? Stare at them and don't say a single word and then look away. I like making awkward situations.
Sai, whens your first volume coming out? Will you do free release to old friends?
