About Me
Well, I like Pokemon, but art is the big thing. (I probably could have gotten a BFA in Illustration easily if I had stayed at the college I was going to, but I wasn't learning anything.) In addition to my bizarre cartoon style (I don't think of myself as a mangaka or any of that silly weeaboo bull), I do dabble from time to time in realism and other styles (though rarely).
Uh, other than that, I like rock, favorite band is Velvet Revolver, I'm a gaming geek that thinks that games are getting way too easy and good ones even rarer than hard games, I write long walls of text and epic stories...oh, I read a lot of manga and comics, too.
In addition, I like playing guitar/piano and thinking about animating things in my mind. I work 5 days a week on my feet and I tend to expect a lot of myself, so updates may be rare, sorry.
Comics I plan to do in the future (very distant future...):
Enigmatic Star
Rose Quartz Onyx
Chaos Overdrive
Fire of the Phoenix
Chronicles of Cyranea
City Hell
Blind Shot

Jelleh: I was wondering if you'd ever post/join the fandom :P All jokes aside, I have
updated a little bit since then! Hahaha.
The only thing I can take credit for on these pages are the inkings. Momo-san (Ikebana on here) is the screentonist of awesomeness. (I can't tone for my LIEF.) As for that, the only way I found to make it look like 'manga' is to practice inking, traditionally.
There's no definitive way to get the sharper lines if you don't know how to work line tool...which I don't :P I personally prefer Microns over crow quill, but if you can get crow quill down you have a chance to get superior line weight rather than switching through the 6 different Micron pens. I suggest starting with the 03 pen and inking right over a lightly sketched out pencil page. :3 But that's how I do it. That's me forcing my opinion ^^; If you'd like to hear more, we can talk moar via PM.
Anyways, thanks! :D
Spud: HAHAHAH THAT'S RIGHT

Chaos! Clefairy! Color! I definitely approve.
Saw it on DA and decided to comment. I definitely think that you improved on this page a lot. Are all the pages gunna be in color like this? Because I really like how strongly you've shown you can go a little bit on the darker side and show you have a good background.

I tried a little bit of different panelling for this one. Such as Asa in reality, and her
thoughts overlapping with that. And the bubble. I don't wanna just do really typical
panelling throughout the entire thing. I WANT IT TO BE SOMEWHAT EXCITING DAMNIT.
Super creds to Momo-san for the awesome screening again! <3
HMM, I WONDER WHY THOSE THREE POPPED UP IN ASA'S MIND. Okay I'm really bad at this foreshadowing thing, so I'll just shut up now like a good little girl, mmkay? Kaaaaay.
...Holy crap, panel 4 came out awesome. Like, I'm so damn impressed with my ability to outline Eevees. IT LOOKS LIKE A LEGENDARY ALMOST TEEHEE.
Next page will be a splash page. I may be up to coloring it, just so everyone knows where this is actually taking place. (Well I hope people will know off the top of their heads. I may be expecting too much of this generation lol.) Any guesses what city and what region this chapter is in? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? ...Frye? (NOT YOU SPUDWALT YOU ALREADY KNOW)
...BUSTED AGAIN. And I'm afraid that'll be the last time we see dem troublemakers for the chapter, maybe even the story. (I'm reluctant to just throw em out, because they are ridiculous amounts of fun to draw.) That, and I have drawn em out in a little more detail than normal.
Anyways, thar goes my buffer pages! I'll get back to work after my con is all done. Wish me luck!

Aaaanyways, thanksee. I do agree that everything comes together wonderfully. (There are a few booboos here and there, but well, it's art. It ain't gun be perfect.)
And onward to the PM system of hopefully awesomeness...! *takes off*
BC: Lol, you guys know I was kidding, right? :P The only reason why the next page will be delayed is because of the con and to be frank, I'm all arted from rushing at the last minute as usual. ^^; ... ...WHY SO SERIOUS?!
Oh! By the way! Someone actually got BOTH of our trouble-maker's names! (I'm shocked, frankly.) The black-haired boy with the scar is none other than Ginji. He was the human that got transformed into a Torchic in Ginji's Rescue Team: http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/manga/dungeon_ginji/cover01_eng.jpg
http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/manga/dungeon_ginji/ginji_achamo.jpg
I thoroughly enjoy and browse through my copy, and I thought he deserved a cameo. Of course, this is AU Ginji, so he's not gunna be a Torchic. (No connection to the front main Torchic?! Who could it be then?!)
As for the second boy, he is Gold, the lead protagonist for GSC. Since his Japanese name is preeeetty much Gold in katakana, I decided to give him a slightly better name for this: Kin. (It's 'Gold' in Japanese. How appropriate.) It's short, simple and has a bit of kickbutt flare to it.
Congrats to the guest Firefly for getting it right!
