hello aozoraskies ! thank you, my friend made the layout for me ^u^

thank you for visiting my guestbook ~ and thank you again for the comment, i'm really happy to hear i succeeded with the lighting ! yes, i used really small watercolour brush for the road's hair to get the are done fast and smooth. big black areas are more easier to do with brush and yes as you said, it looks more neat when there cannot see the scratchiness that comes with pen lines. i can see the brush lines myself even when normally viewing the drawing without picture program like photoshop ~ it depends from the light settings of your screen that how big contrast you have in it :3 by the way, i hope you don't offent by this but i hope you didn't modify or didn't do anything else for my drawing when you looked at it on your photoshop ! anyway, the size of the brush i used is 2.

thank you again for your compliment, really appreciate it when hearing that my works are unique when done traditionally and the ideas are coming crealy out. i think thought that some highly professional people with doing digital media could easily create artwork like mine. but still i think it doesn't feel the same as doing traditionally ~ somehow for me it just seems more challenging and that it's giving you more in the end since while you do it, if there comes mistake, you can't erase it just like that like when doing digitally.

the ink is made in germany so i guess it's sold internationally, not sure though but just guessing. but you are welcome, hope you are able to find it and try it out :3

thank you again for the favourited and glad to hear you like them too. don't worry about it, i don't mind at all of geting comments on my old drawings ~ it's actually really nice to get comments on them too and it's not embarassing at all of commenting them ! especially since for the viewer who haven't seen them before, they are new to their eyes so it's really grateful to get comments on them as well as on the newer ones. anyway ~ i haven't actually drawn lavi yet, might be fun to try sometimes !

any other medium than ink ? yes i do, mostly normal propelling pencil and then black markers if doing just lining. but if i colour the drawings, then i nowadays use mainly copic markers ~ but i enjoy still using watercolours and coloured pencils too which i used to use before geting copic markers.
aaw, i wish you are able to get scanner someday ~ it would be nice to see your drawings ! just came to my mind that could you have a change to scan your drawings at school maybe ?

well then, see you around again and thankies for dropping by !

Hi! I have to apologise, I only found time to reply now.. sorry! My mailbox had became rather full and I had schoolwork..

That all sounds rather interesting! I would love to try inking out soon but some stuff came up so.. I might not be able to do that anytime soon.. But, hey! The watercolour brush I got is size 2! Now, I don't have to search for that.. And Pelikan turned out to be the same brand a friend of mine uses at the office. So maybe I could ask my friend to get it for me..

Don't worry! I was just looking at it through Photoshop, because I wanted to refresh my memory on how it looked. I would never doodle any artists' pieces, at least not with their permission! I admit I like turning them around, into new angles sometimes though..

I get what you mean about doing it traditionally.. It feels great when we get it done after spending so much time and effort on it, then can display it proudly. And, yeah, there's no CTRL + Z in art, let alone in life.. I remember some pictures that screw up because I peskily decided the proportion looked wrong, rubbed something off then find that I couldn't get it back.. the horror..

After I drew Lavi in my first DGM fanart, it felt hard to draw him again.. But then I just felt the urge to draw him, during class, so I got out paper, and just let my hand go! Well, it looks more like the doujin style.. but I like how it turned out. It's not complete, not satisfied with the legs' pose, and no background yet.. but the face will absolutely remain! I will NOT ever rub it off.. Just hope that after my hiatus, I still will be able to draw it..

Looks like you really are talented, Zefie! I mainly use pencils for fanart, though I have ONE that I used a nomal black pen for (and it turned out not bad, surprise surprise) and I have learned watercolours, poster colours and acrylic before..

No, no scanner at school either. No sign of my friend rushing to scan the ones I passed to him either. :sigh:

See you! Erm, you probably got this before, maybe it feels a little tired.. but want to be friends?

Quote by christabel92This looks so professionally-made...like it was a cover for a manga chapter
Congrats on getting a highlight on this///It's fabulous...I'll add you to my watchlist since I like your work very much..I wonder..could you make a Kanda doujin sometimes in the future?
oh,and I would like us to be friends too...do you agree?

hello ! thank you very much for your nice comment on my latest d.gray-man drawing ~ really appreciate your saying my work looks professionally-made ! thank you also for congratulating for the highlight, i'm glad you think my work deserved it ^u^ sure you can add me, though i didn't see on my notifications that you would have added me ~ just wondering did you do it yet ? anyway, i could try to draw kanda sometimes :3 he though is pretty hard one with his long hair, i don't know if i can draw him with my style as handsome as he is originally. but i can try to draw him too when i have more time ~ summer job is eating my free time quite badly at the moment ;__; and sure, we can be friends as well ~ always glad to meet new people ! i'll add you to my watchlist already ~ so i can also get notification when you post more of those wonderful vectors of yours !

see you around and have a nice day will you ~ bai bai !

oh,I added you to my watchlist...
I'm sure you would draw Kanda very good...I like your style,so it doesn't matter if he looks a little different thank you for saying my vector is cool..I'm really happy

hi there ! i want to thank you for your nice comment on my newest drawing ~ glad to hear you like it and especially of the dottings ! i guess i would have used screentone to do them but i haven't found/heard of any place where they would be sold here ~ so since i don't have them and also can't do digitally, i made them traditionally on my own. though i have sometimes thought that it might be faster if would be able to do digitally or have the screentones, but would it be as fun and then enjoy the hard work as much as now when have to do them on my own. anyway, thank you really much for your compliment ~ i really appreciate it
aah, tyki ~ i didn't manage to do him quite well and not the way i wanted. i wanted him to be portrayed bit from bird's eye view, but i couldn't get it done right. but i'm happy the way i still got him since it might have been worse too. thank you again for the compliment and critique as well ! it's always nice to get some not so well succeeded things pointed out too along the succeeded ones, gives good balance and not the feeling that everybody is just saying your work is perfect ~ (not dare to point out something which they don't like, just because you are their friend or that not make you offended) ~ when you can clearly see it yourself that it honestly isn't ~ hehe, am i making any sense ?
anyway, thank you again for your comment and favourite too ! :3

My pleasure! It is hard to find screentones... I don't think there's anywhere near where I live that sells them, either. And doing it digitally takes some of the fun out of it, methinks. Still, if you had used screentones, it wouldn't have been quite so impressive.

*shrug* I've found well-balanced critique is worth a thousand gushing praises, so I try to be helpful. lol. I'm glad I was able to be of some assistance. (No worries. You made sense to me.)

hello there ! firstly, thank you for your comments and favourites on my drawings ~ i'm really happy to see you like my art ! also thank you for congratulating for the highlight, i'm glad to hear you think i deserved it well at first it wasn't easy for me either to draw d.gray-man at first but once you get into it and figure how it turns out, it will go start to go quite naturally. thankies for adding me to your watchlist as well ~ i hope you don't mind me for adding you back since i like your vectors :3 i'm working on summer job but i think i have still time, so sure you can ask ~ do you mean david and jasdero by noah twins ? i really like those two too, they are so funny xD anyway, i'm quite slow while working on a drawing though, need quite good inspiration and planning to create something honestly good ~ but you are welcome and sure, we can be friends ~

thank you again for the comments and favies plus the watch ~
wish you have nice day and see you soon eround !

sorry for late reply, i was busy with school, and now i have time to talk...
heheh i love dgm art....no problem,. thanx for adding me back, im glad you like my works too
yes i mean on them, i love david most....he is soooooo cute, wow and thanx!
anyway when is your bday?also which is your fave anime?

hello aozoraskies ! i came to thank you for your lovely long comment ~ rarely get comments this long, really appreciate it ! i'm really glad to hear you like the atmosphere, it was supposed to be scary but still having little fun in it because of the amusement park-theme but i guess it kind of gets lost into it. i think i failed a bit while drawing tyki ~ he was supposed to be little in bird's eye view, but i didn't manage to do it the way i wanted. and his expression goes little like that in few episodes, so if you haven't seen it yet i guess it comes later :3 thankies for the compliment of the dotting and the lighting, glad to hear i did well with the lighting even though myself i thought it looks bit weird in some places. that deep black...hmm...not quite sure what you mean, but for example the black in road's hair ? or maybe the whole drawing done with the black ? i use drawing nip and small water colour brush ~ not sure actually is it water colour brush but that's what i thought when byuing it. anyway, i use the majorly the drawing nip but when comes large area of the black just like road's hair, then i use the brush. that way the big area comes more smoothly and faster. you are welcome, i think it's good to tell what kind of techniques you use if somebody else wants to try too. i'm not really good at making drawings digitally, actually just learning it, so i use traditional media. i think people who are good at doing digital, would create this kind of drawing with photoshop or some other drawing program with pc. the ink i use to this piece (and other ink drawing i have done before) is Pelikan Tusche A Drawing Ink, Schwarz - Black and the number is 17.
anyway, thank you again for the wonderful comment ~ really appreciate the time you have spent writing it, it was nice to read ! also thank you for the favourite !

wish you have a nice day !

ps: thank you also for the favourites on my previous drawings

Hi Zefie! Nice page you have here..

Glad to know you liked my comment! You did great with the lighting! Yes, I suppose I meant Road's hair.. So you did use a brush! That clears things up! I was wondering how you made it so smooth because I couldn't see any of the scratchiness that comes with pen lines. Now that I'm looking at your picture through my Photoshop, I can see the brush strokes.. Hmm, I think I have just the right brush for that.. though I really should be using that for my watercolours..

Yes, I would love to know the techniques some people use for their awesome art. It's nice to try it out ourselves, feels like an accomplishment when we managed to get it right.. I don't know if anyone else could make a doujinshi quite like yours, through Photoshop.. one of the reasons yours is unique is that we can see that it is traditionally inked and your own ideaas well.

Pelikan Tusche A Drawing Ink? Sounds familiar.. wonder where I can get it from.. Anyway, thanks for telling me! I look forward to trying it out. ^.^

You're welcome for the favourites. They were really worth it! I was going to comment on the other previous works but it felt a bit embarrassing since they were from last year.. But they were gorgeous! And I loved the creativity I could see in them.. Evidently a D Gray Man fan, I see. Ever drawn Lavi? I just made a fanart for the four main charas, and it was fun to draw his hair..

Do you use any other medium other than ink? I mainly use pencils since I draw better at school.. It isn't exactly convenient to watercolour or use markers during class . Not that I would, anyway.. I don't have Copic markers.. I would put up my work but I don't have a scanner..

Well, see you! Hope to see more art from you!

VENNIE *hugs you tight with big bear hugs* thankies so so much for such a long and super lovely comment <333 your comment really made me happy and smile ~ i'm so glad you like it ! i wasn't really sure was the dotting okay for the background when i was making it since it seemed like becoming too overcrowded and the lighting looked bit weird too in some points, since couldn't really clearly tell where it came from ~ nice to hear your opinion that they look okay after all. also thankies so much for saying that i'm improving, haven't really noticed much difference to the last drawing i made so it's really great to hear and that you pointed it out ^u^~<3 it sure was eating my patience making the dots, especially when my hand hurted so much after just doing the dots like two hours. uum...zefie doesn't know what "mesmerizing" means could you explain it to me a bit ?

glad to hear you liked the face i made for road, the girl at the front ~ i wanted to get her evilish side as well as the playful side to be shown, so i made the other side of her face looking scary and then again playful with the tongue and lollipop. making the dotting on her hair was sure pain in the butt because i first didn't know how i should create the lighting of the candle near her head. glad you like the roller coaster ~ it's actually one of my favies in the drawing too xD hehe, i don't know why i said it because my little sister also said that no-one will notice if i don't say it ~ maybe it's just because it looked bit odd to me. anyway, thankies again soooo much for your lovely and sweet comment ~ always such a pleasure to read them <3333 also thankies for the favie :3

hope to hear your babbling on my guestbookie soon again by the way <3 *throws chocolate and vanilla cookies at you* bai bai honey-pon *hughughug*

ps: i really love your new profile piccie ~ it's so like you and nicely refreshing and bright ! and yeshoo ~ i was able to read it ! meheheheee *flee* <33333

OH ZEFIE-CYAAAAAANN ~~~~~~~(/@w@)/' *GLOMPS*
lol, sorry about that. I just caught some of zefie's hyperness I could feel it in her post! heheee

YESH! your new drawing was simply maaar-velous zefie, and congrats for the highlight, it was well deserved <3 you ARE amazing by just being able to portray your thoughts through your drawing so well. lol, I'm not very good at that , sometimes I think up such a different pic from the one I end up with,heehee.
And the people I draw will end up in lame poses and blank facial expressions..boooo :C

mesmerizing is a bit similar to fascinating, zefie, but way WAY more glamorous sounding! lol. I hope you understand my lame explanation ,honey .

I'm currently making a wallpaper, I thought I'd make one for zefie to make her happy again since she was so down the other day, butbut I am currently stuck!
lol, it will come soon, so hopefully zefie will wait for it patiently,ne~
Drawing sceneric is haaarder than I thought zefie,XC *cries*

I felt that way while doing my physics paper...*cries* ish so worried about physics.. and thats my major subject..I can't do badly... :C . I used to like physics soso much,now I feel that I've made the wrong choice...huuuu

ZEFIE! vennie ish so sowwy for writing nonsense like that on your userpagey..:C , but exams make vennie feel depressed. ( , boohuuhuuu

Quote by Zefiehello temari-chan !
hee, you have nice pink userpage but that wasn't the reason rambling on your gb ! i came to thank you for checking my participation work for the dgm group's contest ~ i'm glad to hear you like it, but don't stare it too much that your eyes won't hurt because of the dots xD also i'm glad you like the dotting too, it sure too time to take them but i agree with you that the result sure was worth of the long time making it :3 thankies again for your support and as well from the fav ~

you are welcome ~ and i really meant it, it's nicely refreshing pink tone and not that overly pushing pinky barbie pink xD does that make any sense ? hehe, i don't really like pink usually but if it's gentle tone like on your userpage, it's really lovely :3
if i stare the dots too long, it starts to make funny illusions and my eyes start to hurt. thankies anyway for liking it that much, i really appreciate it ! i don't really know how many hours it took to do the dots but i would guess 6-8 hours or so.
colour my doujinshi ? eeh, i'm still quite sucky colouring with copic markers and just got photoshop thankies to my cousin so i'm just learning to colour with it

Yay~ Same! I usually don't like pink... But if it's the pink that I used in my userpage, it's an exception.
Haha Then better not stare at the dots for too long~ Though I really enjoy staring at the dots. Wow... 6-8 hours of drawing dots!? I don't think Ic an ever have the patient to do that
Yay! You got Photoshop! Now you can color~ I bet you can color it well~ You have the art talent!~

ZEFIEEEE! LET ALL THE CAPSLOCK EXPRESSS HOW MUCH I MISS CHUUU~ chuchuruu~chuchu~

Sorry for the terrible lateness sweetie, I just barely survived a HELLISH WEEK *drops dead* LOL still hanging on. Only had 4 hours on average of sleep this past week because I was studying for two back-to-back midterms, finishing two assignments that was due while power studying for a quiz all on the same day and working on a lab report due on the day of one of my midterm. Indeed a hellish week. I'm so glad it is finally over, and I hadthe best sleep last night ^__^ A bottle of Advil and a month's worth of coffee are my saviors! Plus I'm off for one week for spring break so I finally have the chance to drop by and visit my dear friend! *big hugs*

hehe, I don't mind if you call me heavenie-chan *big hugs* And thank you for the valentine wish! Hope you also had a wonderful Valentine's day! I had a midterm that day so 'what a nice gift from the teacher' LOL and I also got a Valentine card from my little cousin (which is a bigger haul than last year where I got none xD !).

This is a bit late but--Congratulation on passing all your exams! I passed all my first semester courses too! Time to celebrate! Though not really time yet since I'm already mid-way through my second semster already and suring spring back I have to study for three more midterms and finish my lab report and assignments *TEARS*

hehe, nice to meet another gamer who is also a girl! My fighting video games skills has been lacking lately cause I moved onto playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band have you ever played Guitar Hero? It's so addicting but after a while my fingers and wrists are really sore! Holy Smokes! Your average for FFX was 270 hours!? I think I'm sitting at 180 hours and still not even halfway (had to stop playing because of school). For FF12 I have like 72 hours on it and I'm only just battled a big boss. So much time must be put into training (also stopped playing due to school).

Are you still inking your D-Grayman artwork? I haven't been around MT lately but I'll be sure to check it out when you submit it! Can't wait to see all the details! You have an amazing talent for drawing and inking! They are all so amazing!

Oh yes, and thank you so much for the wonderful comments and suggestions on my Hitman Reborn wallpaper! And don't worry, I'm glad for your awesome thoughful comments since critiquers (is that even a word? ) are so rare nowadays! I can always count on you to give great comments and insights on my work!

I send you my MSN email through PM cause there's been too many spammers nowadays. But you'll really only see on MSN once in a blue moon ^__^; but that is only because I use MSN for school. So keep yours eyes open for when I'll come on someday!

Take cares sweetie and talk to you soon! *big hugs*
