I drew a Phoenix Wright fanart! My first non-doodle pic in Open Canvas too!



Sometime during the second game Gumshoe rather randomly tells Nick, "I thought maybe I should do some self-improvement and take up a hobby. So I bought some morning glory seeds. And planted them!!"

So as soon as his potted project bears fruit he would bring it along with him to show off! Poor man doesn't have much else he can brag about, he can't afford a proper watering can either :'(

Since the flowers' brilliant color reminds him of his favorite prosecutor he tenderly calls his plant Mila (according to him it's close enough to Miles).


Coloring in OC is neat :3 Inking is tricker. (PS I don't know much about these kind of plants but I do know they come in potted form too I saw it in google)

Naoki Urasawa has lauched a new series titled Billy Bat [info here]. I am most pleased with the story's setting.




You can't imagine my DELIGHT upon seeing this page, that 3rd panel, it's clearly post-war Japan Showa era 1950-something I don't even need an infobox
I was staring at this for a good five minutes before going to the next page only to have it all confirmed:



YESSSSSSSSSSSS



Here again for good measure sorry but I didn't know I could fangirl this much over a bunch of houses.

I do say that a historical flair is closer to my interests than sci-fi (though Pluto counts as retro-styled as well).



Don't we all want some old dudes in snazzy suits to barge in through your door just to tell you that your work is awesome!!!

Otherwise I liked the colorful introduction to the story, animal characters are cute and drawn with swift pen strokes. The comic format was different than what Urasawa usually does, should he have continued the story in this fashion he would have needed some more adjusting /useless observations

Historie: This manga deserves it's own pimpin post so all I'm going to say for now is that this is awesome and must be read.

Eyeshield 21: I marathoned this and the first 100 chapters or so ARE AMAZING. I like sports manga and this is one's so fun with all the ~making friends~ and yay forming the team and strategies. [This is forever] my single most favorite panel of Hiruma btw, he looks like a Junji Ito character.

Ashita no Joe: Prison Boxing anime. The first ten episodes are tearjerkers, the next ten are good and the rest had such abysmal subtitles I stopped watching. I liked the post war setting.

MW (by Tezuka): This. Pushes all my right buttons mjkfdjkj /swooning x 10000000
I wrte about this once when I had the French edition, which I can't read. Now I have the English book and I'm definitely not disappointed. Centeres around a serial killer's (monster's) path of destruction and his gay relationship with a right-doer. 10/10

Vinland Saga: Askeladd is da man but... where has Thorfinn been left off to?

Jup that's all I have to say, my taste is the same as ever.
Oh I've started one of those [Manga Reading Lists] (8 is a very good rating).

Recently I've been waking up real early entirely on my own even if I don't have to – now this doesn't sound like anything out of the ordinary for the usual citizen, but this is something I've never, ever managed during my school days!! Since I was always staying up all night drawing animays or reading novels about Persians attacking Hellas. This is so unfamiliar I don't even know what to do with myself this early in the day LOL j/k, I've actually been working towards breaking my nocturnal lifestyle for the past two months, but this happened kind of suddenly. Pretty sweet.

One simple truth about me is that deep inside I'm an oldtimer that enjoys listening to melancholic tango music. I like (watching) the dance too; here's some art on that subject:



Refs from youtube caps and other photos adapted in my sketchbook... The end result looks completely different than what I originally had in mind. It was supposed to be just black/white... the clothes are from the 1920's!

I finished and sent in my comic just fine, though it was lacked some background details (which I added afterwards). I can't with a good conscience show the whole thing online so here are a few pages. Japanese reading direction since it was drawn for a Japanese based competition:

Technical stuff: Mostly drawn and inked on paper but tones/some backgrounds/effects were done in MangaStudio & Photoshop.

Казалось что я совсем забыла о существовании своего дневника...сколько же прошло - месяц, два...а может год? Совсем давно я сюда заходила последний раз. Не успела написать о старом как уже появилось много нового! Может ничего существенного..для вас, но для меня много значущего. Уволилась с работы, считаю что я недостойна работы продавца консультанта, по крайней мере не такой..это был просто кошмар, но и своя выгода есть - опыт работы общения с людьми, от которых меня уже просто тошнит!
Наконецто я взяла себя в руки и решила посвятить этот год себе, развлечениям и душе )) салярий, спортзал, клубы, спа, отдых.. Первая остановка Турция в сентябре, да, знаю что плохо планировать заранее, но я же никому не рааскзала, разве что ТОЛЬКО своему дневнику
Позовчера привезли 2 ВИП билета с доставкой на дом, проход без очереди в аквапарк Ква-Ква, вся ночь там - любая горка, любое удовольствие, я жду!!! ))
Потом ещё что-нибудь придумаю, надоело мне сидеть дома.
В этом месяце с Серёжей почти не будем видится, только на выходных(( он будет занят,будет работать усердно..ну что, значит будет время заняться фигурой)
Пора бы ещё что-то поменять, надоел чёрный угнетающий фон моего дневника..может что то кислотное?)
