Artist's Comments

Uhm... yes, I did this one for my friend and she loves Axel from Kingdom hearts (which is a really awesome game but I never got to play it TT-TT) and-... yeah, it was back in Japan, a boring evening and we were sitting in the kitchen of my teachers apartment where we stayed for two weeks and then she asked me if I could try to draw a picture of Axel. Which I did, with some KH-manga as reference. The only problem was I NEVER drew a man's body before, so he turned out to have an-... "eight-pack" @.@ well, so he is VERY muscular, OK? XD
Whatever... he's supposed to wear a summer kimono called yukata and drinking matcha (= japanese green tea which tastes incredibly good with ice cream btw) or something. ^^ I like this picture because it reminds me of those two weeks I stayed with my friend there all by ourselves. SO fun!

Aw, thank youuu. Yes, I was surprised that it turned out pretty good, in Japan I started using Copic pens and they're awesome but so hard to get here in Germany. -. -

You're so good at traditional! I gave away my copic markers...I was terrible with them ^^;

I am trying to make the best use of what I am able to use... I wish I could use Photoshop or so but I don't have that tablet thingie and so-... TT-TT
Oh really? But... may I ask where'd you get those Copic markers and how much did they cost? o.O Weren't they expensive?
In Gemrany a normal Copic marker costs about 7-8 Euro! ( God how I hate Euro, I never know how to convert it into US Dollar or Pound... I used to know it perfectly when we still had Deutsche Mark... TT-TT)
Personally, I think that pictures drawn with computer programs are (in most cases) way prettier than the "traditionally" drawn ones... maybe also because it's easier to undo/correct mistakes. ^^; I always screw up in my pictures somewhere...

I don't have a tablet either. I did buy one at one point, but I couldn't get it to work well so I gave that away too. ^^; My markers cost like $30.00 for five of them. The tablet cost $80.00 LOL I'm not rich or anything, it's just that my friends are artists too, and if I can't use something then I give it to one of them. ^^ (Americans always spend too much money XD I just bought like 5 manga the other day).

To color I use my optical mouse or the touchpad on my laptop.

:O I see!
I don't think it's just the American people though ^^; don't we all sometimes spend too much money on things we don't really need? ^^;

LOL I guess so. I'm really bad though... it's because I work at a bookstore, I can't keep away from the Manga! XD

Really? At a bookstore? Well, that is pretty cool. :) I have always wanted to work in a book store or the central library because I love books... *.*
