To prove there really are girls in Hikari's stories... even if a few are, well, dead.

Truth be told, I really rather enjoy drawing females. They're pretty, and that's fun and easy to sketch out for me.

I usually have multiple reasons to complain about and generally bash on the women of most any novel/anime/movie, etc. Because I just can't look up to them... either they're too man-like and slam on the main guy or too whiny and STILL slam on the main guy... :cries:

But these ladies are mostly pretty likable (which says a lot...).

Sori:
White hair, gold eyes.
Falcon's mother (deceased), her memory is pivotal in his life and strongly effects his later choices, though her end is a constant source of pain for a large majority of the cast.

Mikena:
Black and white hair, dark blue eyes.
Servant to Denonae, she has very strong reasons for the things she does, and a bad attitude to back her. Doesn't mean she's right, but she is an interesting character because of that.

Chei:
Black hair, black eyes.
Something of a tragic figure, she's deadpan and solemn, but very dedicated to those she loves.

Linta:
Yellow/pink hair, pastel pink eyes.
Pleasant and sensible, she is uncharacteristically courageous for her kind. She also has a keen intuition.

Niika:
Red hair, violet eyes.
This lady (also deceased) is the cause of a lot of events within Bonds and the world of B'korba. Her memory also haunts a large (albeit different) portion of the cast.

"Nyway, please enjoy my pretties as much as I did drawing them!

Very nicely done you did do a great job on the anime anatomy so koodo's from an anime drawer wanna-be... I hear you are moving down south? Is there truth to this?

Thanks very much. ^^

Yes, it's true. I leave on the 2nd for Boise.

But the way you're drawing women is even better than I do it, though I prefer working on girls than boys and THEY look girlish xD

Girly-guys is SO anime/manga style, y'know? Poor saps, it's just their fate. ^^

Thank you, I'm hoping my men will improve and become just as enjoyable to draw as the ladies are.

Gosh, now I see I could be misunderstood, sorry xD"

To make the long story short, I've wanted to say that MY boys look actually imho too feminine. I know it's "fashionable" but I don't like it if it's the fruit of MY work. That's why I said it.

Your ones are better than mine, no doubt about it: even they're male or female. And my post was thought to be a piece of admiration.

*maybe now I misunderstood you, if yes, just sorry*

Lol, I wasn't offended or anything! You're fine, I totally took your comment as a compliment and artist-to-artist commentary. (my favorite kind!) ^^

There are admittedly some guys I like to draw effeminately, but I sure understand your pain in wanting to make them look more manly. :nod:

It's one of those everlasting frustrations for artists, ne?

I just mourn that girls are more fun to draw.... *sigh*

Oh yeah, it is frustrating sometimes -- But also gives some motivation to improve, doesn't it.

Don't you think that girls are more fun to draw - as you wrote - just because of the culture which said so?

Mmm... I'm not sure how it works for most people.

I find that while I am not a fan of the typical female personality flaws, I am a girl at heart in the sense that I like to draw pretty things, and the basic nature of a girl fits pretty so well, I think.

Even a woman's physique is more 'lovely' than 'strong', y'know?

Yeah, I also know that nowadays everything's changing and it's now time for strong women and weaker men xP

C'mon, before the times of suffragists (hope I spell well) men's outfit was more decorative and rich than female dresses, so was with books' characters in general. They were in a centre of attention, and then came the feminists and Coco Chanel. I think that's the clue we still cannot manage with sometimes.

We've touched one of my favourite subjects, so beware if I spam, btw xP

Such a confused age we live in. *sigh*
