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. :-)

That's my plan - the world domination of Draco Malfoy's fangirls. Isn't that obvious enough? :-P Wahhahaha~

Thank you♥

You know, I opened this page and the picture was the only thing I could see, and it took my breath away and I just melted completely inside. Your Draco is the prettiest thing ever, honestly. AND THEN I see that it's the lipstick...the impossibly pink lipstick prompt and I sat here and spoke into the empty room 'OH MY GOD'. I honestly don't mind about the knickers, either and if you can't paint pink, I don't think I'll miss it, because what you give us instead is stunning.

Thank you so much for using my prompt for one of your incredibly gorgeous pieces of art, and if you have something you would like a story written to - just name it and I'll do it. (God knows it won't be amazing like your work, but I can offer!!)

♥♥♥♥

*is relieved* I'm so glad that you liked. Thank you for giving me such a fun and challenging prompt. This Draco might be less/more effeminate than how you picture him, but I'm glad that you liked it nonetheless. As for the knickers prompt, I have yet found out a good way to draw knickers on man that would look aesthetically pleasing. Once I find it out, I'll probably try. :-)

Thanks again for the interesting prompt, and *dances and jumps around* thanks for offering to write me story :-). It's such an honor to have a story written for my art by you ♥ You can choose any of my art. Pick anything you like. :-)

Yay!

I alwyas forget tehre's a Comicket in Tokyo at that time of the year. I so want to go there at least once (I only wnet to a Comiket in August 2002, and that was amazing!)

I hope you and the others will have alot of success. :DD

And as for the drawing... my, he's damn SEXY! *drooling*
And his hair is wonderful. I always like drawing hair falling on someone's face... mm. :)
You do draw a lot these days, unlike me! *laughs*

Yeah Comiket is a lot of fun, both as a buyer and a seller. To sellers it also means a lot of stress, but it's worth it. :-)

Thank you very much for your kidn words. I'll make sure I have as much fun as I could get.

I'm glad that his hair worked out! I like people wearing long bangs, too, although I hate wearing it myself. It's so not practical.

Yeah I've been drawing a lot, haven't I? I took a whole week off work. That's why. :-)

Do tell about wearing long bangs. I used to do it a lot a year and a half ago... And I had my hair cut very short so as to be able to draw without any problem. *g*

I took a whole week off work.

Oooh, lucky you. I started working since this morning. *sighs*

Long bangs irritate my eyes and makes me sneeze. I used to get something similar to allegic reaction when my bangs are long enough to get into my eyes. I wore bangs in my childhood and part of my teenage years, but I doubt I would go back to them again. :-)

Sorry to hear that you had to work. :-( Good luck!

Happy New Year to you!
