Ah good luck with the comiket!! Have lots of fun in Tokyo and with Wacca :)

Your Draco gets prettier and prettier, and you make me like him more and more. I think its the way you color his eyes, so transparent but full of color and emotion nonetheless. I was looking at your fanzines earlier and it really made me want to color or do some sort of comic :) Though I don't have the patience e_e; If there are any fanzines left, will you be selling them here? I'd love to buy one from you.

And I haven't been around much, but I wish you a Happy New Year too sweetie!

Thank you very much! I'll make sure to have lots of fun and keep myself warm. :-)

Yeah I sometimes worry that my Draco is getting too pretty. For this one, I tried to make the facial features more masculine so that the lipstick wouldn't do too much damage, but the theme itself (pink + lipstick) is just too hard not to make anybody feminine.

Making comic is fun! Yes it takes time and it kills me every time, but there's some kind of satisfaction, like you've created pages of stuff out of blank paper. Maybe that's why I keep doing it even though my wrist protests every time. Really, it's a lot of fun. I strongly encourage you to try doing one. And post it! And make us squee! ♥

Yes I'll be selling them here and on my website. I'll definitely post info once I come back. Thank you so very much for your interest.

Happy New Year to you too! I hope you had a wonderful holiday and a fantastic 2007. :-)

Hope you had fun! And sorry I'm so late in responding e_e; As usual.

Ah he can never be too pretty ;) And its true, with pink and lipstick, its hard not to look pretty :D Its ok it suits him.

Hahaha I know the feeling. You've inspired me to at least give it a try. I've started one once or twice and gave up. Any advice? I don't know how to make a story that will last only 8-10 pages and not 100.

Hooray! I'll keep an eye out for them :) I'm really excited heehee

Aw you're sweet, I had a great fantastic holiday! Hope Tokyo was a blast~

I'm so so glad that you're thinking about starting a comic. Yay for all of your fans!

I've started one once or twice and gave up. Any advice?
I always try to draw things that (a) are challenging and/or (b) I love and/or (c) I've never attempted before, just to keep myself from being bored and giving up. I also find that if I leave an idea to sit aside for too long, I will let it die. But maybe it's just me.

I don't know how to make a story that will last only 8-10 pages and not 100.
I don't draw for a living, so I only draw scenario I'd like to see. I would pick out the bits I want to narrate most out of the 100 pages, add as few pages as I could between them, and see if I could condense them to 10.

I'm no expert, and I don't know if the above would help or not. But I'm always available if you ever need someone to rant about comic-making. :-)

Hahah yay indeed! Hopefully I can put it in the new book I want to make too :3

Hmmm. This is great advice, believe me. I agree, when I let something sit too long I let it die pretty quickly. Which is a shame but I'm lazy. I'll try to pick and choose which I want to illustrate the most, and now its down to choosing which pairing I want to draw too!

Ah thank you so much! I'd love someone I can go to and ask for help :D And maybe I'll ask you for a few pointers too ^_~ I'm not sure if I should ink it, because thats usually when I give up, but Im afraid it might not reproduce well otherwise :(
