Artist's Comments

Yeah. So I've been arsing around on the GIMP recently and playing around with some manga scans. Decided that Namine would make nice shading practice because I FAIL. The skin and dress shadows weren't actually that bad.

BUT THE HAIR :O that hair was a bitch. Glad I chose Namine instead of Axel to play with XD. But seriously. Many tutorials were looked at to try and get the hair to be right. None worked.

In the end I just picked a random brush out of frustration and made a swipe....and it worked.

It was a blood splatter brush XD

Ah, logic, where art thou?

Oh Mi Gosh, Kat this is gorgeous...BTW I may actually start knowing what you are talking about when you talk all manga/anime-y now. Since Charlie got me addicted to Vampire Knight and now I am gagging for more!
Any recommendations?
:iconmaymer:
Thanks!

*cackles** oh you will be dragged down into the black abyss of our fandoms!

In no particular order here be mah fandoms:

Fullmetal Alchemist (epic)
Loveless (cutesy-ish and
Hellsing(vampires. Nuff Said) (you introduced me to this one XD)
Death Note (epic)
Ouran High School Host Club (crack)
Trigun (epic AND crack)

And of course I have to mention Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy, even though they're not technically anime or manga. Watch Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children though.

General rule for all anime/manga: Don't expect things to make sense the first time round.

Nice advice! I am going mad, cause most episodes of Vampire Knight aren't even out in Japan yet, not even coming out in US til 2010, so I'm relying on amateur translations on youtube!
Will look at those though
:iconmaymer:
indeed.

NB: 1 - veoh.com is an endless source of anime.

2 - if it's a choice between an english dub, or a fansub, watch the fansub.
