i’m alive

I like the weight of her presence.

Characters for something upcoming. I don’t have a story yet. It’s hard.

St. Juste-sama and Kaoru no kimi from Oniisama e. This St. Juste-sama is too baby faced. Failure at fan-art…

I’m in love with St. Juste-sama in the anime version. Did you know the seiyuu is the same for Nausicaa?! Her voice is so wonderful!!!

On the right is Nanako and Mariko.

I want to draw more Oniisama e characters. T_T

Give me a kiss?

BTW, thanks for all the nice messages in my Tumblr. I don’t have energy to answer them one by one but your thoughtful words are very much appreciated. Thank you! I’m working my best to hurry to graduate and move on with my life!!! >O</

i'm always glad when you post something. i know you're busy but it's nice to see you around ; 7 ;

Thank you- I am glad to know there are people who still stop by from time to time. It isn’t easy to find free time to update as much as I would like. Even I am unable to check Tumblr frequently. Usually I check once every one or two weeks instead of everyday now. T_T T___T

I will still care, even if it takes you more than a year to come out with new stuff! I honestly love your books, and it doesn't matter how long it takes, that just means it's better yes?

Thank you. This response made me very happy. m(_ _)m Maybe you all can wait - but can I wait? I’ve been waiting so long - !!!! I want to hurry to complete and share with you all. T_T

Hey! I used to read your comic daily and wait for updates, but I was far from the computer for a few months. I just re-read it and enjoyed it a lot. And I still love Jirou. Do you still updating the comic? Because I renember having seen the first pages of our memories long ago, but nothing has came out after that. Oh, and do you ship your books abroad? I'm from uruguay, and it's always difficult to buy things online here...

Hello! Sorry for the late response… Thank you for reading my comic. I am sorry that I haven’t been able to update since I am unable to find the time to ink the comic pages. I have most of the pages for the next book all penciled and drafted out, but they need to be inked. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to block out a free month to just do nothing but ink like I have been able to in the past. I hope I can do it soon but right now my school and working towards graduation is taking priority. :-( I am sorry for the disappointment.

And yes, I should be able to ship to Uruguay. I will always ship abroad as long as Canada Post can send to your country. :-) Thank you again. m(_ _)m

small jet pens review

monochronisme asked you:

what are the pens you got from jetpens ? *__* I’m considering getting new pens, and those look fine ! (what is your review of them too ? I’m curious to know !)

Thank you for the question! Sorry for the late reply but I couldn’t find time to write a proper response until now…

I purchased three different pens:

Fude Ball 1.0 in black: This is great for bold writing especially when writing quick letters/notes and making lists.  It is also good for sketching, esp. at conventions and events. It dries quickly and is water and fade proof.  Highly recommended! The line is really thick though so take notice.

Kuretake Extra Fine Pen: (sign pen II in the drawing below) It is an extra fine tip. Good for details and drawing tiny doodles like animals. It is important to draw slowly. I think for myself it is good for lettering and for drawing tiny things. I find it good to draw details in the face but not good for anything else like the hair, body, etc. since my pen strokes are naturally too quick for the pen to give a good line. If you draw slowly you will get a better result. I also highly recommend the other line widths in the Kuretake line. They last well and the nib does not wear so easily.

Kuretake Double Tip Pen: (sign pen I in the drawing below) This is same quality as the other Kuretake brush pens except it is double tip with fine and medium tip.  I like the fine tip the most. I think medium tip will be good for lettering and addressing envelopes, but the fine tip I use more often so I will probably buy just fine tip by itself when the ink runs out. It is nice to have two options in one pen though.

I hope that was helpful to you. Below drawing is Saint-Juste-sama from Oniisama e - I used extra fine for facial details and fine for the rest of the drawing. It is good to combine! I think I would not get same level of fineness without extra fine tip.

This anthology includes original knight-themed comics from the following talents!!

I was busy with this so I wasn’t able to finish a Power Drive A submission, but I still hope that everyone will pick up a copy of it!!

I drew a 15-page story about Ceilic, who you might remember if you have been following this blog for the past year. 

It’s all coming together now, I’m so excited :)

I’m so excited for this! The design looks so beautiful and high-class. I think this will debut at TCAF this upcoming May!!!!
