Yeaaaa.haha, it's easy to get lost in smackjeeves. sooo many comics. It's okay, we used to get confused author questions all the time. Though i suppose we won't anymore. Our three seperate screennames were: apple, dubio and lude. Apple and dubio are sisters...we made the profile planning on comicking together like crazy over summer. but their dad just got transferred to a new place in his company. So theyre moving. :c Beginning of august D: So it's really just me here on this profile now. >.< All lonesome. We'll all keep comicking, just no more extended projects together anymooore. :c
tee heee. c: You could always still self-publish, and sell on a slightly smaller scale. haha, competition's gonna be pretty bad at any time though, might as well just jump straight on into it. ewwwww. :c why must we work and pay biiillls?? D: Do you get to do artsy stuff at your work too?? Or is it all doom and gloom? oooh. I only have Photoshop. I've wanted to try mangastudio though. I'm assuming you have a tablet? Any tips on which one to get?....I'm thinking about getting one soon, but it being my first tablet, I'm not sure which one to buy. >.<
AHhhh me lubs you! *A* Is it really good? Gah I'm so shy about my art, especially as I'm no where as good as you are! *hides* XD Seriously, Let me die, SOOOO AWESOME! And Sabbat and Maina!! You're gonna get featured soon, I just know it!
haha, yoou're welcome! :DD Are you planning on going professional with your comics any time soon? Because they really are high enough quality. c: >.< Thank yooou. So encouraging hearing that from yoou. haha, it's noot bad. you have other stuffs to do. Plus....doing pages takes a while. especially with full screentones and all. Do you do it all digitally? Or do you draw the pages by hand first?
BUT YESH. MAKE MORE PAGES. c: so i can read your comics instead of doing homework. ew homework. I long to be out of shcooool.
Yooou're welcoome!
Thankyoouuu as well. >.< I just started seriously comicking a year ago and i remember telling myself...HOH SHIET. you better get as good as anninhell eventually or you're a failure. c:
So thank yooou. Your art is beautiful and your wacky characters crack me up all the time. d: Reading all your stuff makes me want to do a shojo. >.<
And good luck with alll your office work issues. OTL.
Oh em gee I would love to see them in your style. X3 *gets all excited* Is it for the contest or just fanart in general? :3 Yeah..I wish I could draw her hair better. It never comes out the way I want it to. DX I need to practice..
Well never fear! June's almost here. :3 Just stay strong and keep at it!! ^^
Well, all of those are great! But I have two problems. One, I have the oldest Photoshop ever. It's Photoshop Elements 2.0. D: So a lot of those tones and brushes and stuff may not work for me. Secondly, I also have a sort of... Mmm.... Aversion to a lot of them because they are manufactured things that I think I should be able to draw myself. You know what I mean?
Anyways, my hair, when curly, usually looks crappier than that. But it was strangely cooperative for that picture, so I'm glad. My hair has been MUCH redder than that but it's fading. I have to get it redone soon. D:
I really love both your comics so far! You are so incredibly good at manga! I have no idea how to do the clean black lines and toning... I cannot tone to save my life. At least, no one told me how to, so I just use a crappy photo-editing program to shade everything. XD Also, this is random, but choo is very pretty.
I AM an elegant orange kitty!! Haha. And thanks. :3 My eyecolor changes depending on the light so they don't look like that all the time. XD It was more of a combination of direct sunlight and my camera getting the right light...if that makes sense. Is that you in your avie? :3
Ah! Finally some love for Icarus. XDD I think you and Kaylove are the only ones to actually point out what a bishie he is...I had him in the story for that purpose, originally, because every story needs a bishie. I hadn't counted on the fact that a lot of people consider Lemon to be a bishie as well. XDD Oh man.
And I must apologize, I'm not really sure what you were asking about. /= I'm kind of slow sometimes so yeah...DX But yes! Go to the forums! They need teh loves!! D':
haha, maybe if I donated to SJ it would help, but I don't want to seeing as the reception I've gotten thus far is pretty poor.
Its not my fault I'm not a yaoi obsessed fangirl v_v
Eeeeee *weird girly squeal* Your comment made me so happy. :D And yeah, Lemon's becoming Mr. Popular amongst the Ruby fans. xDD Not really sure if he likes all the attention though. O: And fanart? OMG. I *LOVE* fanart!! ^.^ There's still a lot of fanarts I need to draw. O:
And it's alright that you aren't able to comment. Apparently 61 people have fav'd Ruby and yet not very many people comment. XD But it's okay because I love the ones that do, whether it be on the page itself or on me profile. I can just pretend everyone else is reading it from the office like you. ^.^V
Anyhoos, thanks again!! :D Oh, and if you have any questions feel free to stop by the forum. :3 Unless if they'd compromise the plot, I'd be happy to answer them. :D
I dunno, my story is pretty weak at the start...(though i think i fixed it) and the art i halfass a lot XD
Haha, i think I remember you from smackjeeves now XDD... I deleted it on there and redid some older pages and uploaded it again cos im fussy like that XD
Smackjeeves isn't so good to me either... I only have two people that comment there anymore, only 53 fans, and i feel like i've kinda fallen between the cracks somehow... XD
DD is much more optimal ^^
Thanks for the add too. I'm happy that you like my comic. I'm falling in love with both of yours. I feel like it's a paradise full of lovely lovely bishounen...
Haha I'm joking. That's not why I'm reading them. XD I have a feeling that you're going to be a breath of fresh air for the shoujo genre, judging by the plot summaries you have for your comics. :3 I'm very excited to see where the stories lead. And the art! It's so great. I love it. :D
Ack! I left another long comment! D': Sorry again!!
INORITE! Nothing against shounen-ai, I just don't find it fun XD
Shoujo revolution XD HA!
I just randomly discovered your comics today, absolutely gorgeous ^^ can't wait to see more of them :3... should've told me before you were lurking, hahah <3
how can you find time to work on two stories at once, and keep them both so beautiful? Lucky you, lol
Thank you ^^ Yeah, it's very cozy. So cozy that all of the walls are painted white and the lights are bright kind of like a mental institution ^^. lol. I still love it though.
Keep at those guessing games! You're good at it. Wanna go for my sister's name? I bet you could do it ^^
Ha ha! You're good! Yeah, I'm an April. I love the basement in my dorm. I've been waiting about a year and a half for the school to build the promised studio in our basement and they finally did over winter break. Now my roommate and I basically live in there, lol. It's always a fun thing when you decide to take a break and go outside and realize it's night and you haven't stepped out of that basement all day ^^.
