totally fine! I hope you had fun!

@the_lost-journal

If I had a nickel for every time a man dressed up like a girl from something made in Japan, I would have a lot of nickels……….

yeah for a society so bent it’s kinda strange too lol. Ig if it’s frowned upon irl people get curious and write it into shows.

Tales of ba sing se is the best and it’s absolutely criminal it’s the one y…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

True! From Cowboy Bebop, Faye Valentine, the only other girl character, was dressed… immodest. She was a good character, and she did a lot of good stuff and was important to the plot… but her outfit and body was solely for service.  The other girl character was my favorite character from the whole show, and she was a child! So v…

yeah it’s hard! I’ve been trying really hard with dynamic posing this last year too, it’s a major deficit in my skills lol.

Oh and yeah, we should probably have taken this to the chat chat.

@the_lost-journal @keilah-h

All discussion of anime now moving to the chat chat lol. Pls tag me over there if you want to respond to the…[Read more]

@keilah-h

It’s really good! And has a great art style like you said.

I think if the arc is done well and she finds other purpose in life it’s ok, it’s all about the intention, and if they are doing it for the enjoyment of the audience. Something I’ve noticed is that two different animes can have the same girl in a short skirt but one will use…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Ikr it’s so weird! I mean it’s worth noting that Japan has very little Christian influence and we have a lot here. Even if a lot of modern day Christians don’t all follow the bible our countries foundations still have a influence.

Yeah I’ve struggled to learn how to draw girls because of this too! A lot of comics have bad stuff in them…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Don’t worry I was pretty sure that was a typo lol.

The only reason why girl characters are in it half the time is for service 🙄 That is why I like the main girl from 86 ( I am going to reference that a lot XD) she is…. how do I put I??? She has a … flatter chest… I hope that isn’t inappropriate XD uhm… but yeah, she is modest. A…

@the_lost-journal

lol! yeah, I am still under eighteen, and can’t really watch shows with intense gore/fan service/swears. Like I watched cowboy bebop with my older sister and brother, and they told me to look away at parts XD. Studio Ghibli film are either PG, or PG 13 so I don’t really need any parental guidance while watching those. (If you rea…

@ellette-giselle

Lolol. 🤣 I know, it’s cool, isn’t it?

@the_lost-journal

Uhmmmm…. I am a boy…. ✌️🫥

(Why does everyone assume I am a girl?! 😭 A stranger one YouTube, @Ellete-gistle, you! A person I met a long time ago in karate! WHY?!)

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry! Well in the past when I’ve been active here there’s usually only about 2-3 guys active, sometimes none, I guess it was just an ass…[Read more]

@grcr

I really like your use of screen tones! Also the character design is cool.

@rae

I love how you used the white pencil to show the ripples!

@whalekeeper

Ooh that looks cool! The mid green for shadows looks so perfect, it’s like the background color reflecting into the shadow.

@the_lost-journal

Girl, everyone starts somewhere, people’s art changes over time, don’t apologize for whatever stage you happen to be at. Nobody is going to throw up, we’re happy to have people participate no matter where they are at! Stuff like this is meant to help us get better, not make perfect art. 🙂

@whalekeeper @loopylin

Here’s mine! Also thank you @rae for making this, it actually pushed me and I feel like I did something new : )

I made the pose myself (With the help of some anatomy references, struggled a bit with it lol). Anyways here’s Gojo Satoru from JJK.

@ellette-giselle

~Which character(s) did you find the most compelling/relatable/believable and why?

Julian, Leon, and Ian. I also liked Albee. For some reason, Ian and Albee seemed really well developed, even though we didn’t get to see them for very long. Otherwise, mostly Julian and Leon, since I know them the best.

~ Were there any character…

@ellette-giselle

No worries! I get it. I just wondered.

@linus-smallprint

(Another thought, the priests think Leon is dead from what I know. I don’t know if they ever learned that the arrow did not hit him. But this person wrote the letter directly to Leon.)

Ohh, good point!

@ellette-giselle

Yeah, it’s kind of overused, but it does make plots interesting.

Sounds good!

By the way, did you see the next chapter of TCOH?

@ellette-giselle

That’s funny! 😆 Yeah, I had no idea this was the last section, but then… once I read it, I was like, okay, that kind of works. But it was definitely a shock.

(For a reader with an actual copy of the book, it wouldn’t be, cause you’d get to see how many pages left. We’re kind of reading blindly on here. XD)

Yeah, that makes sen…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

The END????

I feel like Marius and Prince Dietrich will come back. The way you left it, it does sound like an eyewitness saw their deaths, but… Why would you have cut the scene off so soon? It feels unfinished. If you didn’t intend that, maybe you should make it clearer that they did die.

I don’t know, I guess I’m just used to…[Read more]
