Why the hell isnt this guy listed in the animals section of my menu?
Hes freaking adorable!!!
Ok! So now that I've made the cover page i can feel right in scanning in the intro and first chapter to give the finishing touches
EDIT: i didnt like the way the guy in the back was facing so i adjusted it
His head is a lil off to the left but that will be much easier to fix in Krita
Been rewatching Princess Tutu and chatting with my good friend Mitch about it
Their art's great, so go check them out!
Hey. I just wanna, Say. That you deserve every Love and heart today. (Haiku ❤️❤️❤️ to you 2018)
Thank you
Calem had felt empty for most of his life, he couldn’t remember when he stopped believing the future held anything better. His father hit him, his mother yelled at him, his peers bullied him.
Just because of his eye.
It felt like a curse, a burden he could never escape. No matter who saw it, no matter how much he tried to explain he was simply born with it, they all ended up hurting him. Whether it was verbally or physically.
He doesn’t recall the event that led to his breaking point, he just remembers being tired. Tired of all the grief the eye he now hid caused him. That night he looked at his scarred skin, from his tormentors or himself he no longer knew, nor did he care, and ran a blade across his skin one final time.
Or so he thought.
He awoke to a blonde about his age kneeling over him with worry. Had he failed, who was this boy, how’d he get into his home? He never got to ask these questions, as he’d swiftly lost consciousness once more.
Calem later learned that he hadn’t failed, rather he had what was called a reaper’s soul, which revived his body upon his initial death, now unable to age. The blonde was Kira Shinigami, Death’s adopted son, and also the reaper who’d found him.
He found himself attached to Kira, who in turn was protective of the new addition. When he one day asked why he’d done it, Calem confessed his past, and the other revealed a similar childhood. This only made them closer, confiding and comforting one another. Calem nearly cried when Kira saw his eye and said it was beautiful. Eventually the two decided to share a room, leading Mitch to casually tease them, much to their dismay.
For the first time in ages, Calem felt he had something to live for, his future no longer bleak in his mismatched eyes.
He was finally happy.
When the room is quite full of people and you absentmindedly make a sound that echoes
I cant believe it took me so long to realize how important libraries have been in my life
My mother love love loves books (can't get enough of them) and when we lived in Texas we would go to our small local library to rent stuff like fraggle rock
The library at my high school in texas was the best, they had a decent corner dedicated to manga, with an art wall (i even participated in a competition)
I once mentioned they didn't have my all time favorite manga and the librarian (best girl) got all the volumes available at the time
A lot of the early bonding time between me and my now fiance started because I suggested he got off at my bus stop instead of his cos it was a closer walk to the library between our houses
When i took an internship at a library, it made me realize just how perfect of a job it would be for me as a helper (shelving books, making sure things are in the right order, putting those plastic covers on paper back books, helping others find something, having a general relaxing environment where people can't just easily yell at you) and it was the place where i finally began my comic series during my lunch breaks
Libraries aren't just a place where you can find books or get information, its a safe space where you can feel at ease and just let go for a few hours
I plan to become a library assistant alongside a comic artist because i loved it so much
This is everything i could ever need and i didn't even know it
I legit audibly gasped upon seeing this masterpiece
Alice in wonderland
Claire - Alice
Sirius - Queen of hearts Noel - MadHatter
Wilardo - Cheshire Ashe - White rabbit
thank you @yunolik87
you make me feel noticed and appreciated!
Hello all, Illy here, and I’m happy to announce that I’m back home from school and got myself a new laptop that is AMAZING for art.
Also decided to try out Krita for my comic, which btw, 3 handrawn pages done!!!! Next step is to scan them in and touch them up with my new stuff.
I’m so so SO happy to be able to continue drawing that it has reignited my motivation to work. For a while I had little to no motivation to do much of anything for a couple months due to stress at school, and my previous laptop not cooperating with my tablet.
But that’s all behind me now... I’m back, I got stuff to do, Fandoms to gush over (Magia Record came out and so did the Invader Zim movie), comics to draw, and I AM HYPED!!!
The images above are some tests using Krita and my new laptop.
A quick sketch of me, an image of Mami (probably from a manga i just looked up lineart for color practice) before and after I colored it, aaaaaand a scan of some doodles of my version of the Cheshire Cat and what progress I made coloring it
Hi, I'm Illy the Mad Artist! I love art, writing, and the characters and stories I make. I have anxiety, and I really would like to get as many opinions and critiques as possible, so please, PLEASE, ask me if you are going to post my work on other sites, and PLEASE credit if you do. The work I do is VERY important to me, and I want to share this with you guys. I don't really like reblogging things, so pretty much all of my posts are my stuff. I will accept critiques, however I will not accept hate (they are two completely different things). Please be kind, and if you wanna talk about or ask me anything, I'm pretty open most of the time. ^-^
