just wanted to say,

... Yes please go "what happened to your JGL icons?!" ;www;
I'm late, but Happy Birthday to stomatopod! To be honest, pikatic has been one of the best, most influential person for me- Especially in the field of graphics! Her icons over here at stomatopod had always encouraged me to make some myself, and I wouldn't be where I am today without this community and it's owner. You won't believe how exhilarated I was when pikatic invited me to join this comm! Plus my lovely sisters heijin and ellen_grieves have been soooo supportive and influential, I definitely feel at home here. And last but not least, our dearest supporters! Whether you are a watcher of our comm or not, it heartens us to receive comments about our work. Just like a celebrity, he's pretty much nothing without his fans. (No I'm not comparing you guys to fans, but you get what I mean) You guys are our drive, our inspiration- so thank you everyone!

Uuuuu I'm writing this much mushy talk (in public for people to see/make fun of too lmao) as a show of love, so accept it! (: And do remember take part in our raffle contest/game if you have not!

(i'm not exactly done with it yet but skldfjsd /rolls)

Done with tremendous help from this tutorial. By far the best manga colouring tutorial I've ever followed, and it gave amazing results! (I'm probably biased, since I love the creator's style. ♥) The only problem is whether or not I should continue with this, don't really want critics pointing out that I'm merely using someone else's style. Not to mention that I'm having a very hard time with my current style too... Ahh what to do.
