Haha I knew it! I really respect you're self-control... it must be so hard to keep it for tomorrow! I wouldn't be able to do that xP But now I'm looking forward to tomorrow as well so that I can hear what you think of it!
Aww I really hope you get better soon! Just take it easy :D And it helps to stretch it and soak it in warm water :)
that's really good for you! I have to deal with this annoying pain. I also get like that, and I'm really afraid that I might end up going like last time, where I couldn't draw for 3 months!
I know, scans always kill the color and so do photos, it's not fair when the actual art looks nice! I'm resisting do hard not to look at it yet, but it's killing me!!! XD I'll comment on it once I look tomorrow!!! XD
Oh right, the weather! I usually get a sore wrist after typing too long or after doing something where my wrist is being strained too much... then it hurts for weeks, and I can't even bend it at all Dx But I haven't had to deal with that for a while, thank goodness!
I'm going to post it for you after I finish catching up on my comments! I think it looks better as a photo then a picture XD Have you ever noticed the difference in a scan and the actual artwork? Usually the scan kills the colour, and same for a photo. But this time, I like the photo better x3 lol
I over use it a lot but it normally doesn't bother me, I think it's because of the weather, but at least I'm feeling better. I can sketch just not color, it will cause to much stress.
I also sometimes mess up durning the inking stage and try to fix it with color! XD when It's posted up I'll give my my thoughts! XD I think I can start inking your drawing though, I'm not sure about the color right now though!
Aww thats too bad!! I can feel how terrible it would be to have a hurting hand at this time Dx It must be super frustrating :( I'm glad to hear that its getting better though. Does it just randomly start hurting or does it only hurt when you use it too much?
Yeah, I posted the sketch in my world the other day^^ I think I messed up on part of the inking stage and then I tried to fix it with colour... Ah I'm not sure about whether its very good or not. I had fun doing it though!! I think I messed up on Kaito, so Andres and Ponch look alright^^ But I want to hear what you think of it :D I was gonna post it today, but I got busy and my brother was hogging the computer =_=. So I'll post it tomorrow for sure :D
Sure, no problem! I really can't wait to see your idea!! I bet its amazing! *u*
my hand hurts, but it seems to be getting a little better, I just think I can sketch, but not do a full color drawing yet, It upsets me because I was working on another drawing for someone and give it to her today, but I didn't finish in time because my hand.
Oh you have the sketch up?!!! I didn't even know! I think I didn't see it in my back room since my sister hogged the computer and a lot of people have been posting a lot too!
lol the perspective is what I don't want to ruin it, and the coloring, but I really like the idea! I cant wait to post it up! but when my hand feels better! gosh it's such a handycap!
Aw that sounds awful! I know how it would feel... and then having to deal with an annoying week wouldn't be fun. I'm going to try cheering you up!! I worked on your artwork late last night and I'm pretty much done! I'll probably post it today so hopefully you'll like it and feel better^^
And don't worry! lol I keep saying that cuz I mean it!! If your hand hurts, then don't push yourself. Take a break and when you're ready to draw again, you'll create masterpieces! Its okay^^ It'll be such a surprise when you post it :D
Ooo cool! The perspective on my picture isn't too stunning xP I ended up just doing Andres+Ponch and Kaito sitting together. I'm going to use a lot of colour for my background though like how you do, which will be new for me^^ And I know your artwork will turn out perfect!
Oh I posted a sketch of my drawing on my world the other day, I don't think you saw it (cuz your sis was hogging the computer xD) You can look at it if you want to, unless you want your dedication to be a surprise^^
ahh why are my comments getting longer and longer Dx ?
lol this whole week I've been annoyed, I just want to stay home, but I can't. My drawing hand hurts mainly cause I over use it, not for drawing but for other stuff, and it cramps up. Then when it's time to hold the pencil it hurts, it could also be the weather change too!
I don't want to keep you hanging though, so that's why I would like to recover my hand ASAP, but I can't contol this. I also hope the perspective doesn't become to hard too! I going to try one of the tips you gave for that!
Ah I hate when something like that interrupts a good drawing day! T^T
Oh I've had that problem too! Somedays I just can't draw because my right wrist hurts so bad. I'll pray that you'll feel better soon, cuz its not fair for you to not be able to draw at this time!! :(
And don't worry at all!! I can wait, really! I'm going to be really excited to see it when you finish though :D
I just wish I could stay home tomorrow and Draw the day away, but I have to pick up my check so that means I have to go!!! lol I haven't got started yet, I have the sketch but no inking yet. I'm just a little depressed cause my drawing hand hurts, It picked the wrong time to start hurting. I may have to take a small break, and I don't want to, but I think I need to. I still have some ideas, just my hand hurts! That was all! XD
I've got the same work schedule... I usually get weekends off. Oh poor you!! Don't be depressed or anything! Listen to some Christmas music and drink some hot chocolate or eat something yummy and sweet x3 Oh I'll cheer you up soon by posting the drawing of our OCs! Lol I'm not taking as much time as you, so i almost messed up Dx but its ok! I think the only artwork I need to finish is yours now. I inked the rest of it today and I can't wait to colour it!! And don't worry, take your time I know I will love your idea
lol I'm off on weekends, it's just Mon-Fri that I'm so busy and stressed out! I don't even know if I'll be done by Christmas since I'm a little depressed right now. I don't want to rush and ruin your drawing, but I would like to have it done by then. I have a really interesting idea, I just hope I can draw it correctly and color it fine! XD
That would be awesome^^ I' so excited!! :D I'll post/dedicate mine to you as soon as I get it done too ^_^
Lol we're the opposite now... I'm usually off on weekends XD But thats ok, I can wait (even though I can't wait to see it lol)
Oh I don't mind, I might have my drawing done by then, so I can dedicate it to you for Christmas too! I hope I can get done by then, If now, it can be a New Year's drawing for you! XD
Work eats up most of my time, I'm so busy on weekdays!
No problem, Toya^^ Take you time, even if you have to wait until after Christmas! Yeah you're right! And waiting for it will make me even more excited too lol! I'm not as busy as I was this morning since I got LOTS done today^^ But I'm so worried I'll forget to give someone a Christmas dedication Dx I'll dedicate my drawing of our OCs to your for Christmas, is that ok?
lol I'm following behind big time! I'll try my best to organize myself! I have so much going on! lol Holidays are busy!!! XD I think I might have to redesign the drawing since I messed up!
don't worry we'll get done at our own pace! XD
Yes, feel free to do whatever you want. I just wanted to give you an idea^^
And don't worry! you can start whenever you want too^^ I don't know when I'll have your drawing done, but I'll probably post it by the weekend. Drawing it has been really fun so far! I've been busy too Dx but I can't wait for Christmas!
lol sorry for the late reply again! okay I noted down the stuff for Kaito, I'll start the sketch as soon as I can!
since this week is christmas week, everything is going crazy! XD Thank You so much for the info on Kaito's clothes, I'll see what I can come up with! ^_^
Awesome!!! Thanks for all the wonderful info! Lol I'm glad I made you laugh... I went over my comment and I laughed too, just for fun XD I'm so full of energy right now! and I'm happy! Artist block is no where in sight
Ok, thanks again for all the info! I'm going to use this comment as reference. I'll be sure to use those colours and clothing ideas! I actually just got a nice idea^^ I have sketched Andres+Ponch already but he doesn't have specific clothes on yet so I'll dress him up xD
Alrighty! Here's some info on Kaito. I hope I'm not too late! Sorry for the lateness =_=
Kaito wears casual clothing, but he does have a punk streak in him. He likes hoodies and rolled up sleeves, but don't worry if you don't wanna do rolled up sleeves because it doesn't really matter. He doesn't show his body much, like in the way of an open shirt or something xP but he likes his hoodie to have a zipper on it and he can wear a dark shirt underneath (you can do the zipper up or down on hoodie). His favourite colour is blue, black, and orange. So far I've only drawn him with plaid or striped shirts/hoodies, but feel free to create anything. If you do his pants, he wears jeans or sweat pants. He likes wearing toques but that's an option cuz it does cover most of his nice firey hair! As for his headphones, he doesn't wear them on his ears as much as he wears them on his neck. He's not so much of a punk as he is a rebel.
I hope that helps! I don't like being too specific cuz I don't want to bottle up your creativity so I totally don't want you to do anything you don't feel like doing^^ Thanks again for the notes on Andres and Ponch^^
Ahh! I missed this comment!! i just wanted to double-check if you had even gotten my reply yourself and I see that you've written a wonderful reply to all my questions.. I'll read it now^^
lol I don't know why but your comment here made me laugh! XD The part with Andres being Poor, but it's fine since he is! XD
I'm pretty excited too, but I haven't gotten started yet and I'm not sure what to draw yet but I have an idea kind of. Same here, Lazy saturday, spending time on the computer before my sister comes! XD
About Andres, he most of them time just wears simple clothes, he can't really afford much stuff, so he wears just Shirts, jeans, and a black hoodie if he's cold. Very Simple! XD His favorite colors would be Red and Black, He mainly wears black jeans most of the time, with black shoes. His shirt is usually has some red on it.
For Ponch, Andres likes to put a Bandana around Ponch's neck, It can be of whatever color. He changes it a lot too! He gets picky on what Ponch wears! XD But he himself never really worries about what he wears!
Oh I should ask you about Kaito too!
What kind of clothes does Kaito wear? Is there any colors he perfers and does he wear his headphone all the time? Like around is neck or on his ears? does he have a type of style like punk or just casual?
I just want get the things oaky or I don't mess up! XD
This is so exciting!! I can't wait to get started on drawing Andres^^ And that's right, we're both drawing the first OCs we saw in each other's portfolios XD I got a late start to my art today since I've been hanging out on the computer and playing my gameboy =_= A lazy Saturday! anyway, I'm so excited right now that I want to start drawing now! And thats alright about only having one ref picture of them... I think I have a good idea in my head, and you also wrote up that very descriptive backstory on him. I've just got a few questions.. I guess I can ask them right here:
What's his clothing style? Like would he wear punk clothes or is he a bit more down to earth? I guess cuz he's poorer I shouldn't give him too much rich clothes/accessories.
What type of dog is Ponch?
Do you have a favourite colour? or any colour Andres likes?
Sorry for all the questions! The most important one is the clothing question. Thanks! :D and if you have any questions on Kaito, let me know... or if you want more reference doodles, but also feel free to do him in your style^^
Awesome!! I'm glad you have a great idea^^ Doing cool art trades like this is so inspiring and exciting :D I'm going to get right to work^^
Lol same here! After giving you all these comments, I start to run out of words to say how much I like your art and thankyou :)
it's okay, I don't mind if you draw Andres and Ponch, the only thing is that this drawing is the only drawing I have of them, so it will be the only reference! I could dooodle up some sketches if you need more references!
Okay I can draw Kaito for you! Since he was also the first OC I saw from you, so it'll be fine! it'll be a First OC you saw from your partner Art Trade! lol that's long!
I think I have some Idea for drawing Kaito and since he likes music, it'll be help too! I've had this one song stuck in my head so I might end up drawing something that has Kaito inspired by that song!
this is good, because I also had run out og ideas for now!
it's okay, I don't mind long comments, the only thing is I alwyas end up running out of replies cause I end up speechless! XD
Hey again Toya! Lol no problem about the comments, cuz they cheer me up and inspire me! I love reading them all Lol I'm catching up on all my comments now xD But there are a ton! haha :D
I think I'll draw Andres and Ponch for you if you don't mind! I like them a lot, plus they are the first OCs I saw when I met you If you don't want this, let me know x3
Okay, I know what I'd like for my request. I'd love if you could draw me my OC Kaito I've only got serious about drawing him myself recently so I'm sorry for the sucky reference links... Anyway, here they are. You've seen the first one I think, and the second one is a bit older. I might be able to post another sketch of him if you want more reference, but also feel free to do him totally in your style with your ideas! It would be a real confidence booster to me to see him drawn by someone else... plus i'm so excited to see him in a different style! If you don't feel like doing him, let me know cuz its ok^^ Kaito 1 Kaito 2 with colour
If you have any questions about him, fire away! I'll answer everything :) And draw him whenever you feel like it! I'll probably start your OC soon cuz I don't have much fan art ideas right now and I'm excited to try drawing your OC^^ Thanks, this art trade is gonna be super fun!!! Woah, lo sorry for the long comment! XD
it's okay, sorry for all my commenting! I don't mean to hog all of it! XD
It's okay, I'll be waiting for the links then. I myself can't really catch up with all the commenting! XD
lol yeah little boys like to draw stuff like that! cars and super heros! XD
Haha no problem! I had tons of comments to get to this morning though since I wasn't on my laptop yesterday night, but I love reading all your comments/replies!
Alright! I'll browse through the rest of your portfolio soon and choose one of your OCs to draw^^ It'll be really fun :D And I'll let you know whether I want a manga character or one of my OCs. I'll get back to you asap! I'll be sure to send you the links to my OC if I choose that. Thanks!!!
Oh yeah, little boys and their cars, eh? haha my brother mostly draws people, but they're like super people or aliens!
whoops sorry if all my comments are filling up your backroom! lol For the art trade, I guess you can go ahead and pick one of my OCs if you like, I don't really mind who you pick. It could be a random picking?!! XD If you want me to draw your favorite character from an anime or manga, just let me know, or if you would like me to draw your OC, go ahead and link them if you have them up! XD
yeah my nephew likes to draw, but most of the time it's boy stuff like cars, trucks, sometimes pokemon, or transformers.
Lol no problem! And sorry for saying that you're awesome^^ lol by the way, my comment/reply box is full of your
Oh thats cool! Your nephew sounds like my brother :D
Hmmm Would you rather draw me a character from a manga? or a character of your imagination? Either is fine! I have an OC, but I haven't made many reference pics of him just yet xP I'll think about it tonight and get back to you soon. :D And anything you want is fine!
I know!! same here! TheO is amazing :D and I wouldn't have so much fun with art if i hadn't joined it!
Okay, got to go for now, I'll reply to your other comments later^^
YOU'RE SO AWESOME! ahem, just needed to yell that
But first off, what I've seen of your portfolio so far has made me so excited, stunned, and inspired! And I haven't noticed too much repetition in your art, don't worry! and the colours are always so cool. So don't think it isn't very good^^ I need to improve on things too...
But we just have to keep working!
Lol my little brother is 8 years old, but he loves art and drawing a lot. And let me tell you, he loves your art too!! I've shown him some more of it already and he just stares at it in awe !
Yay! This will be fun! I can draw anything you'd like as well, whether its a manga character, any of your OCs, animals, whatever you want I'll try to draw! Hmmm, I'll think a little too about what I'd like you to draw me, then I'll get back to you :)
I don't have many real-life Otaku friends so this site was a life-saver! I love talking to you too, its really fun :D And I hope that we can help keep artists block off each other too x3

you're really nice! But I think your stuff is much better, my stuff is to stiff and everything is facing the same direction! but I'm working it....Xd
you're little brother also sounds really nice too! ^_^
I don't mind an art trade, It should be fun plus give me some more creative time! I want to do something before my inspiration runs out again. Yeah art blocks are horrible!
I can try to draw anything you'd like, for me, I'm not sure yet, but something will come to mind?!! XD
lol yeah we are having a conversation in the comment box! but it's nice to talk to someone about drawing! I don't get to do that much since my friends are more into other stuff. I don't mind though. ^_^
Lol sorry! I don't want to make you nervous >_< But you're art is very very awesome, and don't worry, I love everything I've seen in your portfolio! I hate art block =_= But just so you know, you really inspire me!
My little brother was dancing around wondering if you got his 'comment', so he was smiling when I told him that you said thankyou
Oh awesome! Thats a good idea! I'd love to do an art trade with you :D We should get some ideas... if you'd rather me draw you something else besides just a chibi dog, thats fine too! Its gonna be super fun :D I'll talk to you soon! (we're having a conversation on this comment board aren't we? lol)
-Jen
ah man now you're making get nervous! XD some of my stuff I don't think is good since I was having an art block due to stuff, so Now I'm nervous!XD
Tell your brother I say: "Thank You Very Much!"
oh before I forget, maybe we can have an art trade so that way we both get something?! XD

Thanks so much for the sub!
Lol and I'm very happy you like my chibi puppies! x3 I'm going to dedicate one to you now :3 Let me know if you have any puppy requests!
I just showed my little brother your artwork of your OC Andres and Ponch.. He wants to let you know that hw absolutely loves it especially Ponch! Keep up the great artwork! I'm really excited to know an artist like you :D I can't wait to look through your whole portfolio!
-Jen
XD I'll subscribe back too! Oh by the way I just visited your gallery and I didn't know you were the one who drew all the puppy chibis!!! I've looked at them and they are really cute! You draw puppies really cute and cuddly! XD
I'm so slow! XD
thanks again, I'll be sure to keep a look out on your art too!
Thanks for the compliments Yeah, I'm so happy I found your portfolio!! .. O_O wait, did I sub to you yet? lol If not, I'll do that right away! sorry about that >3< I've got to keep an eye on your awesome submissions
And I'll read your fan comic soon and comment :D
-Jen
XD Yeah, it's fun to work by hand, plus much easier too! I have also seen your story too, but haven't had the chance of reading because I get distracted to easily! But I have looked at the drawing and I must say it looks lovely!
It's nice to find another person who uses markers to!
When I do read it, I'll also leave you a comment too! ^_^
Thats awesome! I do the same... all by hand I mean, using grey and black markers for tone and drawing effects by hand. Its actually fun that way, just time consuming. Can't wait for you to post more fan comics!
I checked out your fan comic link and I remember checking Fortune's Fool out once before, but only for a peek at the first pages. x3 I think its awesome, I just couldn't comment on it at the time cuz of a slow browser =_= Thats so cool that you're the author^^ Now I'll read through the whole thing and comment when I'm done Don't worry, I want to read over it again! Thanks for sending the link! I hope you're still adding more pages to it!
I also posted my fan comic online, if you wanna check it out. Sherlock Holmes. Yeah, its based on an old original written story since I wanted to work on drawing instead of the story :P Feel free to read or flip through. I did it by hand as well. Lol I think its cool that we do some of the same stuff, as well as both have copics and all xD Keep up the amazing work!
-Jen
Thank you again!!! I was actually afraid that the background was distracting, the blue and pink! XD
When I work on a comic, I do it all by hand, I have manga studio, but it's a huge pain to use and very confusing.
I just have to use grey and black markers for the shades. I also make details and effects by hand. You can check out this one comic I have posted here to see what I mean, but you don't have to read. the link is: Fortune's Foool
Awesome! Thanks for explaining it to me^^ You've got a very good idea for your doujinshi! Are you going to do your fan comic traditional with your makers or digital? and once again, you're OC is incredible
Thats cool that you can use both types of markers and make them blend together so well! and one more thing i forgot to say was that I love how you're background is super detailed but it doesn't take away from Andres and cute Ponch Wonderful work! Can't wait for more!
-Jen
Oh thank you for taking some time to read my discription! The funny thing is that this drawing is half copic and the other half is cryola markers since I have limited copics, but thank you for noticing!
A doujinshi is suppose to be a fan comic, most of the time I just say comic, but since I'm making a fan comic based on a vocaloid song, I'm using doujinshi, to sound more proper....XD
sorry if I confused you!
Thank You again!!! ^_^

Okay this is AWESOME!!! Not just the amazing art, but the whole story and detail you put into Andres You're so talented with copics as well! I use copic markers regularly so I thought you used copics when i first saw this art. I think you did an amazing job on it, and your story is stunning as well!! It sounds like a great idea for a manga or even an anime x3 Sorry for my ignorance, but whats a doujinshi?

I don't want to keep you hanging though, so that's why I would like to recover my hand ASAP, but I can't contol this. I also hope the perspective doesn't become to hard too! I going to try one of the tips you gave for that!

lol I'm off on weekends, it's just Mon-Fri that I'm so busy and stressed out! I don't even know if I'll be done by Christmas since I'm a little depressed right now. I don't want to rush and ruin your drawing, but I would like to have it done by then. I have a really interesting idea, I just hope I can draw it correctly and color it fine! XD

lol sorry for the late reply again! okay I noted down the stuff for Kaito, I'll start the sketch as soon as I can!
since this week is christmas week, everything is going crazy! XD Thank You so much for the info on Kaito's clothes, I'll see what I can come up with! ^_^

@toyotami kun:
Awesome!!! Thanks for all the wonderful info! Lol I'm glad I made you laugh... I went over my comment and I laughed too, just for fun XD I'm so full of energy right now! and I'm happy! Artist block is no where in sight
Ok, thanks again for all the info! I'm going to use this comment as reference. I'll be sure to use those colours and clothing ideas! I actually just got a nice idea^^ I have sketched Andres+Ponch already but he doesn't have specific clothes on yet so I'll dress him up xD
Alrighty! Here's some info on Kaito. I hope I'm not too late! Sorry for the lateness =_=
Kaito wears casual clothing, but he does have a punk streak in him. He likes hoodies and rolled up sleeves, but don't worry if you don't wanna do rolled up sleeves because it doesn't really matter. He doesn't show his body much, like in the way of an open shirt or something xP but he likes his hoodie to have a zipper on it and he can wear a dark shirt underneath (you can do the zipper up or down on hoodie). His favourite colour is blue, black, and orange. So far I've only drawn him with plaid or striped shirts/hoodies, but feel free to create anything. If you do his pants, he wears jeans or sweat pants. He likes wearing toques but that's an option cuz it does cover most of his nice firey hair! As for his headphones, he doesn't wear them on his ears as much as he wears them on his neck. He's not so much of a punk as he is a rebel.
I hope that helps! I don't like being too specific cuz I don't want to bottle up your creativity so I totally don't want you to do anything you don't feel like doing^^ Thanks again for the notes on Andres and Ponch^^

lol I don't know why but your comment here made me laugh! XD The part with Andres being Poor, but it's fine since he is! XD
I'm pretty excited too, but I haven't gotten started yet and I'm not sure what to draw yet but I have an idea kind of. Same here, Lazy saturday, spending time on the computer before my sister comes! XD
About Andres, he most of them time just wears simple clothes, he can't really afford much stuff, so he wears just Shirts, jeans, and a black hoodie if he's cold. Very Simple! XD His favorite colors would be Red and Black, He mainly wears black jeans most of the time, with black shoes. His shirt is usually has some red on it.
For Ponch, Andres likes to put a Bandana around Ponch's neck, It can be of whatever color. He changes it a lot too! He gets picky on what Ponch wears! XD But he himself never really worries about what he wears!
Oh I should ask you about Kaito too!
What kind of clothes does Kaito wear? Is there any colors he perfers and does he wear his headphone all the time? Like around is neck or on his ears? does he have a type of style like punk or just casual?
I just want get the things oaky or I don't mess up! XD

This is so exciting!! I can't wait to get started on drawing Andres^^ And that's right, we're both drawing the first OCs we saw in each other's portfolios XD I got a late start to my art today since I've been hanging out on the computer and playing my gameboy =_= A lazy Saturday! anyway, I'm so excited right now that I want to start drawing now! And thats alright about only having one ref picture of them... I think I have a good idea in my head, and you also wrote up that very descriptive backstory on him. I've just got a few questions.. I guess I can ask them right here:
What's his clothing style? Like would he wear punk clothes or is he a bit more down to earth? I guess cuz he's poorer I shouldn't give him too much rich clothes/accessories.
What type of dog is Ponch?
Do you have a favourite colour? or any colour Andres likes?
Sorry for all the questions! The most important one is the clothing question. Thanks! :D and if you have any questions on Kaito, let me know... or if you want more reference doodles, but also feel free to do him in your style^^
Awesome!! I'm glad you have a great idea^^ Doing cool art trades like this is so inspiring and exciting :D I'm going to get right to work^^
Lol same here! After giving you all these comments, I start to run out of words to say how much I like your art and thankyou :)

it's okay, I don't mind if you draw Andres and Ponch, the only thing is that this drawing is the only drawing I have of them, so it will be the only reference! I could dooodle up some sketches if you need more references!
Okay I can draw Kaito for you! Since he was also the first OC I saw from you, so it'll be fine! it'll be a First OC you saw from your partner Art Trade! lol that's long!
I think I have some Idea for drawing Kaito and since he likes music, it'll be help too! I've had this one song stuck in my head so I might end up drawing something that has Kaito inspired by that song!
this is good, because I also had run out og ideas for now!
it's okay, I don't mind long comments, the only thing is I alwyas end up running out of replies cause I end up speechless! XD

Hey again Toya! Lol no problem about the comments, cuz they cheer me up and inspire me! I love reading them all Lol I'm catching up on all my comments now xD But there are a ton! haha :D
I think I'll draw Andres and Ponch for you if you don't mind! I like them a lot, plus they are the first OCs I saw when I met you If you don't want this, let me know x3
Okay, I know what I'd like for my request. I'd love if you could draw me my OC Kaito I've only got serious about drawing him myself recently so I'm sorry for the sucky reference links... Anyway, here they are. You've seen the first one I think, and the second one is a bit older. I might be able to post another sketch of him if you want more reference, but also feel free to do him totally in your style with your ideas! It would be a real confidence booster to me to see him drawn by someone else... plus i'm so excited to see him in a different style! If you don't feel like doing him, let me know cuz its ok^^
Kaito 1
Kaito 2 with colour
If you have any questions about him, fire away! I'll answer everything :) And draw him whenever you feel like it! I'll probably start your OC soon cuz I don't have much fan art ideas right now and I'm excited to try drawing your OC^^ Thanks, this art trade is gonna be super fun!!! Woah, lo sorry for the long comment! XD

whoops sorry if all my comments are filling up your backroom! lol For the art trade, I guess you can go ahead and pick one of my OCs if you like, I don't really mind who you pick. It could be a random picking?!! XD If you want me to draw your favorite character from an anime or manga, just let me know, or if you would like me to draw your OC, go ahead and link them if you have them up! XD
yeah my nephew likes to draw, but most of the time it's boy stuff like cars, trucks, sometimes pokemon, or transformers.

XD I'm still not sure what to do for the art trade, have you come up with anything? I might ask you to draw Andres and Ponch? but I'm still thinking.
Yeah this site is really nice, sometimes I wonder what I'd do if I never found it! :D

YOU'RE SO AWESOME! ahem, just needed to yell that
But first off, what I've seen of your portfolio so far has made me so excited, stunned, and inspired! And I haven't noticed too much repetition in your art, don't worry! and the colours are always so cool. So don't think it isn't very good^^ I need to improve on things too...
But we just have to keep working!
Lol my little brother is 8 years old, but he loves art and drawing a lot. And let me tell you, he loves your art too!! I've shown him some more of it already and he just stares at it in awe !
Yay! This will be fun! I can draw anything you'd like as well, whether its a manga character, any of your OCs, animals, whatever you want I'll try to draw! Hmmm, I'll think a little too about what I'd like you to draw me, then I'll get back to you :)
I don't have many real-life Otaku friends so this site was a life-saver! I love talking to you too, its really fun :D And I hope that we can help keep artists block off each other too x3

I don't mind an art trade, It should be fun plus give me some more creative time! I want to do something before my inspiration runs out again. Yeah art blocks are horrible!
I can try to draw anything you'd like, for me, I'm not sure yet, but something will come to mind?!! XD
lol yeah we are having a conversation in the comment box! but it's nice to talk to someone about drawing! I don't get to do that much since my friends are more into other stuff. I don't mind though. ^_^

Oh awesome! Thats a good idea! I'd love to do an art trade with you :D We should get some ideas... if you'd rather me draw you something else besides just a chibi dog, thats fine too! Its gonna be super fun :D I'll talk to you soon! (we're having a conversation on this comment board aren't we? lol)

Thats awesome! I do the same... all by hand I mean, using grey and black markers for tone and drawing effects by hand. Its actually fun that way, just time consuming. Can't wait for you to post more fan comics!
I checked out your fan comic link and I remember checking Fortune's Fool out once before, but only for a peek at the first pages. x3 I think its awesome, I just couldn't comment on it at the time cuz of a slow browser =_= Thats so cool that you're the author^^ Now I'll read through the whole thing and comment when I'm done Don't worry, I want to read over it again! Thanks for sending the link! I hope you're still adding more pages to it!
I also posted my fan comic online, if you wanna check it out. Sherlock Holmes. Yeah, its based on an old original written story since I wanted to work on drawing instead of the story :P Feel free to read or flip through. I did it by hand as well. Lol I think its cool that we do some of the same stuff, as well as both have copics and all xD Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you again!!! I was actually afraid that the background was distracting, the blue and pink! XD
When I work on a comic, I do it all by hand, I have manga studio, but it's a huge pain to use and very confusing.
I just have to use grey and black markers for the shades. I also make details and effects by hand. You can check out this one comic I have posted here to see what I mean, but you don't have to read. the link is: Fortune's Foool
that story is all drawn by hand. ^_^

Thats cool that you can use both types of markers and make them blend together so well! and one more thing i forgot to say was that I love how you're background is super detailed but it doesn't take away from Andres and cute Ponch Wonderful work! Can't wait for more!

Oh thank you for taking some time to read my discription! The funny thing is that this drawing is half copic and the other half is cryola markers since I have limited copics, but thank you for noticing!
A doujinshi is suppose to be a fan comic, most of the time I just say comic, but since I'm making a fan comic based on a vocaloid song, I'm using doujinshi, to sound more proper....XD
sorry if I confused you!
Thank You again!!! ^_^

Okay this is AWESOME!!! Not just the amazing art, but the whole story and detail you put into Andres You're so talented with copics as well! I use copic markers regularly so I thought you used copics when i first saw this art. I think you did an amazing job on it, and your story is stunning as well!! It sounds like a great idea for a manga or even an anime x3 Sorry for my ignorance, but whats a doujinshi?
