March went better than I thought. Didn't need to dip into the savings too much, so I can pay back what I took out this month. Slowing down buying so much doujin will help, too. Temptation is an evil thing! lol *Adds some more doujin to the wish list instead of the cart* That's better.

Talking of money, I need to get down to the bank to put the anime club's money into the account. *Reminder to self*

The anime club's new series' seem to be going down extremely well. Most of the time I suggest stuff, people like them, but I am also famous for making peoples eyes bleed (and noses in some cases). lol

I might start trying some things with my hair, but they're bound to fail. Man hair is hard to control. The girls at work want to do some stuff with it too, 'cause they think they can do a better job. To put it politely, they can GTFO! lol

I'm surprised I've managed to keep up with washing my car each weekend. I did an especially god job on it today, because the weather is good. It's bound to rain all week now. Might try using some polish on it if the weather's as good next weekend.

Finally, thanks to everyone who's left a comment here this month. Keep up the good work everyone!

I understand what you mean about proportions since I have a problem with them too. Teachers are a waste of time when it comes to improving, they force you to improve at a ridiculous speed which means you try and improve to quickly and make a large amount of mistakes, well thats what I've learned, I just take my time when im in the mood and practice slowly.

I think Manga is a nice simple style which still keeps the drawing looking well done. Its good to look at different peoples manga styles before you start. Good luck to you as well, I hope you can find that inspiration. :)

Well, I used to do Art in secondary school. I always had a problem with proportions, and keeping constant shapes. Heck, I could draw you a lovely building with some charcoal, but pencil sketches, I really suck at, and especially of humans. The teachers didn't help either, because I wasn't doing what they wanted me to do. I don't believe in being forced to do 20 sketches per night, of what they want me to draw, so I did none, except what I wanted to do, when I wanted to. It's safe to say that inspiration didn't strike very often, because they demoralized me. Anyway, I have no interest in drawing that sort of thing anymore, and it's so long since I did, so it's not a talent anymore.

Anyway, I have occasionally picked up interest in drawing in the manga style, but I don't plan on trying it yet. When I get the inspiration, I will. Thanks for your words, and good luck to you!

Im sure you could you just need to practice. :) I used to be a load of *insert rude word here* at drawing but I took time learning and started to improve slowly. :) I would have more art but my camera dissapeared last week and I cant find it. :(

Watchthanku!

The artist stands in the harshest position of his own art, right above it and inside of it all at once. So while othes look up and see the final product, they can only look down on their own works and view the insides that hold it.

Visit my gallery if you like looooooong light pink hair. There is a boy which has longer hair than himself!
Look at Nano's hair, it's still growing. :3

Hi! No problem. Thanks for the nice art!
~PioneerUK:iconPioneerUK: Mar 11, 2008, 5:35:15 PM
No, I believe you. But there's definitely a similarity, intentional or not. I think it's a nice one, though.
~PioneerUK:iconPioneerUK: Mar 11, 2008, 5:32:54 PM
lol. As long as he didn't get frisky with me, I think I'd feel O.K doing that. It reminds me of the anime convention I went to last year, where I let a guy sleep in my hotel room one night, and when I woke up I found him laid on top of my bed. That was a slightly scary thing to wake up to. :XD:

~PioneerUK:iconPioneerUK: Mar 10, 2008, 11:41:53 AM
Oooh! I could go to sleep in that hair. It looks so warm and nice. lol

I guess that proves he's a guy, though, despite the obvious traits. :XD:
~PioneerUK:iconPioneerUK: Mar 10, 2008, 11:35:45 AM
Nice! It's going to be tough to get now, seeing as Geneon's out of business too. I'll have to import, as nowhere in the UK has it, or can get it. Maybe someone will be kind and pick up the distribution rights. :cry:

I just thought that your Mirria, and Akari from Battle Athletes look a little bit similar (It's the hair, and the bunny ears). I love Battle Athletes to pieces! :worship: Be it inadvertent, or not, thanks for making that pic. *Goes to pick Battle Athletes off the shelf*
