I'm so happy I finally was able to put up one of my drawings! Colored by computer, since I'm not so good with colored pencils and shading yet. I'll probably add a colored pencil version later, though. Maybe with each drawing I'll make two different colored versions: Computer vs. Colored Pencil! Computer is easier, but colored pencil let's you add texture and other goodies. Hmmm... I hope to get better, but mostly it's my stories that I'm better at. Writing is my forte, not drawing. Which reminds me, I'll put up the sequel to "Butterfly" sometime when I get the chance.

Oh, and about the character in my drawing. Ryushin Kuroyuro (his chibi name is "Ryuchin") first appeared on a roleplaying forum I used to go on, but now I'm trying to put him into a story. The others who appeared with him were Kajido Kuroyuro (his big brother), Yumeko Yukihane (a priestess's adopted daughter), and Lian Zheng (the head of the student council's Public Safety Commission). Originally he was a mute, but I've revised that and he's now just someone who doesn't like to talk too much. He loves to read (his favorite being "War and Peace") and his family runs a dojo specializing in the shinobi arts. Yes, Ryushin is a ninja. No, he does not obsess over ramen so stop asking. And also in the original RP, he had the powers of telekinesis and telepathy (he's mute; telepathy worked fine) and a fear of fire. Now, no powers, but still a fear of fire.

I hope to better my skills. I also hope to obtain a set of Vocaloid programs so I can make a music video with them, but I think the former is more likely. Hatsune Miku-chan is awesome, though!... Okay, better get back to work.
