i let you all in on a little secret: tay forgot how to soft-cell shade. 9 9;;;;;; so that's why it looks like crapé with a cherry on top (and a blank back, sorry about that. ^ ^;;;) ehmm...so! all the main characters from my newest series, picture perfect. lets start from left to right: **the short little girl is asta corinna (aka: acy) heitzwich, who is from berlin, germany. her mama and papa are both top-notch university professors. she's very soft-speaking and is kind of a doormat. but at least she can tell right from wrong and good from obnoxious. **the dirty blonde resting atop acy is jerrick milloni, who is from milano, italy. his mama is a chef while his dad is a member of the mafia (shh, don't tell!!). he's real quiet and doesn't like to tell a lot about hisself. **the leany-over redhead is cheryll west from the great paris france! her mama is a top-line fashion designer and her papa is a ceo of a major trade corporation with america. she's real obnoxious and is the total opposite of poor acy, but they stick with each other and carry out cheryll's crazy schemes. **the smooth-lookin light brunette guy is benjamin keller from the gool ol' london england! his mama is a lawyer while his papa is a neurosurgeon. he is VERY charming, and probably one of the most desired boys in graham academy. **here we have our main character, emma claris from new york, new york. her mama is a world-renowned artist while her papa...left. he's just GONE. but emma has coped with that well; she is a very successful and sweet girl who is aspiring to be an artist like her mama. that dream is put on hold though when emma literally discovers a whole new world in a painting in graham academy. **this blonde fellow is theos, who is the king of eden. though he doesn't do his job that well, he is still a very funny guy with a lot of add problems, so he won't be impeached or removed from the throne anytime soon. (note: he has the hots for emma) **the doggy guy is named kuon, which is some other language for hound. he's theos' first mate, scout, and best friend. kuon is somewhat annoying, but makes up for it with his awesome agility and nimbleness! beware the claws :E **the pink-ish haired woman is the high priestess guard of the kingdom, ayrea. she is the booby lady of the series! you know, every series has to have some lady with big boobs; it's essential! but ayrea is the mother hen who keeps a hawk's eye on all of her little chikadees, except banshui (far right). she is very reliable and trustworthy, and she and banshui are the only real sane people of the whole guard. **and in the pink outfit we have our little ball of fire, misty. she appears to be a sweet little girl with her pretty pink dress, but piss the girl off and you won't see tomorrow. she is actually the strongest fist-fighter of the king's guard who enjoys fighting and just being a little hissy fit. so ayrea really has to watch out for misty and misty's victims! **last but certainly not least, we have banshui, the swordsman of the king's guard. he, like jerrick, does not fancy talking about hisself. but he is known as the papa of the group; ayrea being the mama. banshui is a real awesome guy overall, just not that talkative and a little overprotective. and there we have it! i'm working on the cover right now; it should be up in a matter of days in the fanmanga section. but i prolly won't be getting to the actual pages for a couple of days, so be patient, preeze. photoshopcs2 a week (mostly clothes designs) weather storm by massive attack PS: high res gives you ideas for plotlines! PS: i'm finally an otaku legend! :O oh my stars!
