Woaaaah man calm down with the submit button there. There was like three journals on this thing xD

But anyhow, a question: When did you begin drawing, and what/who are your influences for the style in which you're drawing now?

Yeah, soooorry.. x3 I've already deleted the other ones. But hitting the submit button feels soo gooood. ;~;

Well, I mostly began drawing seriously when I was a teenager. Focusing a lot on the 90's anime style. ^^ The main influences to my drawings are mostly the anime style itself. I don't follow any particular artist.

Peace! ^^

What's your most favourite character you've ever drawn for someone else, be it gifts or commissions? ^^

Aw, I prefer not to answer that, because it might sound like I prefer one character to another. But I can say that I like it when I draw interesting characters, that are full of personality and charm. ^^

Peace!

Aw, ok :)

Well, here's one question: how are you doing, my friend? ^w^

I'm doing OK, dude. =3 Busy, but good. ^^

want a hug ? :3

Yyyyeeeaaaaaaahhhhhh..... ;_____; *hugshugshugshugshugs*

How did you learn how to draw?

Trying how to do it all by myself. It's a nice way to learn, but it demands some ammount of audacy. ^^

What the key to mastering anatomy and positions and do you ever reference your work from photographs?

The key to mastering anatomy is exactly using anatomy references on Google images. It's not about copying the same photo, but learning how the body works and how it moves.

We need you on Tumblr, where are youuuu? D:

Also WELCOME BACK! :)

Thank you! =3

Feuk, didn't know you were also speaking French (and Japanese :P)! It's awesome. :P

Second question, where is the content on Tumblr? You need to post more! :D

Ok, I'll stop harassing you. :P

I'm sorry. =( I haven't had much time updating Tumblr. =(

Do you play video games, and if so, what kinds do you enjoy? :)

Fun fun! :) Whats you rfavorite one by chance? :)

Welcome back! Where are you? I miss you!

umm How is go it? ><

I'm ok, dude. I've been busy, but fine. =)

Hmm what's your most memorable dream or nightmare?

One day I dreamed about the darkest night ever, the the moon was as red as bloo and there was an earthquake so strong that the ground opened and all living being fell down, but all sound you could hear was the planet's heartbeatings.

How do you shade so beautifully?

Aw, that's very kind of you. ^^ Well, when I shade, I try not using too dark colors. That's why some people compare what I do to candy, because there isn't really "darkness", but only darker tones. ^^

Why is Beau so cute?

Because he's all blue and chubby and short and cute and woof woof woof. =3

"What does it mean to be 'a guy'?"
"What does it mean to be 'Manly'?"

Biologically speaking, to be a guy is to have a penis and balls.

To be manly, which is something cultural, is to follow the ideal image gave to a man, such as being strong, stoic and unemotional.

oh nvm you didn't get the joke.....

Favorite Angry Bird?

The blue one. =3

I just asked "Who" not "Why"! XD

Ok, did you ever think that you would be standing where you are right now 5 years ago?

Nope. Not at all. =3

What's your master Thesis about?

About the usage of the textbook by a group of Japanese language teachers who work in language course that follows the communicative approach of language teaching.

Did you find out your grade yet?

favorite attack in a video game?
What was your inspiration to create Beau and Hibuki as a characters?

CANNON DRILL!!

I created Beau's personality mostly based on a childish side of me. As people found him very cute and cuddly, I decided to work more on it, making him love sweets and tummy rubs. He also wears the clothes that I usually do, specially the usual habit of wearing shorts. I kinda dislike pants. x3

Hibuki's personality was, in the begining, mostly inspired in Kusanagi, a character from the anime Blue Seed. His very very early designs were very similar to Terry Bogard, from Fatal Fury. But now, he mostly wears his own kind of clothes, usually wearing tight tank tops and pants in green/moss tones.

BEAU! Thought I'd just drop by and say hi, and to see how my snow covered mountain is doing.

Music. What has been playing on your playlists as of late?

Aw. =3 Isn't that, like, super cute of you calling moi a snow covered mountain. woof woof Me's happy! =3

Mostly videogame music, dear. =3 Like these ones:

Suas inspirações na arte, artistas que te influenciaram e que vc admira muito?

Olha, no início foi muito o estilo anime de Sailor Moon e o estilo criado pelo CLAMP para Chobits. Para os homens, eu seguia bastante a maneira como os corpos eram desenhados pela CAPCOM nos jogos dela.

Atualmente, eu não sigo um artista. Eu faço o que eu acho melhor para mim, apesar de isto não ser muito bom, eu acho.

Hmm puxa que legal :) Tive mais ou menos essas mesmas inspirações quando comecei a desenhar( humanos em mangá) Já não ligo mais pra desenhar pessoas, mas ainda uso um olho parecido ao estilo de Naoko takeuchi(sailormoon) para fêmeas, o mesmo vale para eventuais cabelos. Mas Digimon, por serem "animais" ou monstrinhos com olhos bonitos e chamativos foi definitivamente minha maior inspiração! principalmente o Were garurumon x3
E vc faz bem de fazer oque acha melhor pra vc na arte, isso é bem legal, independência!

E acho que falei demais tehehe~

Your Engrish has gotten very fluent :P
I'd talk to you more on FB if I ever used it anymore lol.

Hahaha xD Well, you can do the talkings with me whenever you want. =3

I bet I could change your mind on your favorite sweet treat. Eat a malasadas from Leonards Bakery in Hawaii. They're warm... Sugary... And stuffed with either chocolate, coconut, or custard cream filling.

Éclair au café forever in my heart. 'o'

Your sweet eclairs are of no match to my Portuguese based sweet treats!

Hot drink in the Winter or cold drink in the Summer?

Not so-hot drink in Winter! =D
