Description
**update 141010*****PROMO :
DGM artbook and doujin for CF 2010:
DGM Artbook:Le Soir (Evening in French, sort of connection with THE official DGM artbook Noche which means night
DGM doujin: La Nuit FabriquΓ©e (The Fabricated Night---timeline: an insert i drew for night 159, when The Order is moving out after the attack of the Colour Noah, so Allen has long hair then!^^,)
allen & mana walker. a dgray-man fanart i did for
1. 's contest. the theme: "What memory you would like to see a character or relive as a child."
2. entry for D.GRAY-ACADEMY.deviantart.com 's THEME: Happiness in D.Gray-Academy contest [link]
it's due in july 30. i am fine with receiving either comments or critiques with this piece^^
--------------------------------------------------------------------
the focus is on allen. i wanted to draw how he was loved by mana when he was young, because:
1. Hoshino Katsura sensei mostly drew allen (young) with sad memories, so i wanted to show he had happy memories with mana too!^^ like, being thrown into the air and caught by mana. just like a typical father and child. conversely, happiness i wanted to show here is allen being with someone he loves, and who loves hum too!
2. the mangaka also mentions that the dgray-man story is about
tools:drawn on Aquarelle watercolour paper, coloured using traditional watercolours. ps cs3 for minor saturation editing.
time taken:round 3.5 hours (cuz i spend 1 hour editing the pencil linearts..ORZlll i had never drawn mana before!
this picture will also be included in a DGray-man artbook for Malaysia's Dec comic fiesta. anyone wants to be a guest artist?
now i am done with it, i did better get back to the other delayed commissions and request due to my move to new place and falling sick
allen and mana walker belongs to the wonderful hoshino katsura sensei
****update 11/7/2010****************************
i see many people are wondering where i got reference for Mana. well, i got it in book 15, chapter 135
*****update 12/7/2010***************************
oh wow, thanks for all the faves!0[]o am afraid my network is super slow, which doesn't allow me to be able to thank all of you. so i will thank you all here: THANK YOU!
--------------------------------------------------------------
note me if you are interested~

Nice job on the colors. They are so wonderful and fit the motive perfectly. *v*
And the scene is also very heart warming. Nice picture.

This is absolutely beautiful. This is definitely a moment I would have loved to see when Allen was still a babe. I actually wanna cry because this is such a loving moment, especially for someone with a childhood like Allen's
I love it very much

thanks yeah, it's watercolours. er, though for some weird reason it's named 'osama' watercolours eventhough it saids there that it's made in taiwan. fren bought it for me and none of us could remember the name unless we had the colours rite in front of us!
haha.

thanks^^ this is part of a 3-5 page manga am doing for a dgray-man artbook-mini doujin for i didn't have time to complete all of it due to housemoving and falling sick frequently of late. so i just did one of the pages which can function as a standalone as well as part of the manga^^

its VERY pretty! i luv how mana wears a tophat, cuz it has a LOT of resemblance toward allen mainly

darkn2ght In reply to Crystal-Fantasy [2010-07-12 14:56:01 +0000 UTC]
haha, i think allen got his fashion sense from mana the author drew mana that way too. see chap 135 book 15.

Crystal-Fantasy In reply to darkn2ght [2010-07-12 16:16:45 +0000 UTC]
ya i know, i saw that and was happy mana was such a good foster father it brings me happy tears :') and did they ever reveal exactly WHY mana took allen in, in the first place? i know that he is the 14th and all but how would Mana know that?
π: 0 β©: 1
darkn2ght In reply to Crystal-Fantasy [2010-07-12 16:29:55 +0000 UTC]
nope, not yet i think. am waiting for the mangaka to do that too~
it makes me wanna laugh when i remember how i once didn't want to read dgray-man because the artwork looks so dark. it was reading an article's recommendation on it and why so many people like it that made me curious enough to try read it. am glad i did!^^ it's a beautiful story.
π: 0 β©: 1
Crystal-Fantasy In reply to darkn2ght [2010-07-12 17:09:38 +0000 UTC]
i know! the story and the artwork are the 2 things a manga needs for me to read it
i havent been really keepin up with the manga, so i wondered if i missed anything, cuz the mana story is like the main thing im wondering about right now! i mean how did general Cross know that he was the 14th too?! itz a mystery!
π: 0 β©: 1
darkn2ght In reply to Crystal-Fantasy [2010-07-12 18:29:04 +0000 UTC]
yeah, that too. am wondering who is the old guy who is connected who is shown only in one panel--- and he was in a bed with curtains too---who is also on list of tyki's elimination list. phew* that was long. manga is now till ep 196. i think next chap is in sept...hope i am wrong ><; the thought i had to wait that long for the next installment is killing me~

Crystal-Fantasy In reply to darkn2ght [2010-07-12 18:57:23 +0000 UTC]
thatz just HORRIBLE!! omg i cant wait that long either!! i watched the anime, and thought the ending really sucked, and i hope that they would continue it but it said Fin at the end

darkn2ght In reply to Crystal-Fantasy [2010-07-14 13:59:14 +0000 UTC]
there is a rumour going round that they are waiting for more chapters so the anime can have season 3...but that's strange, i thought japanese people like to think up endings! XDD like the FMA's 1st season's ending.

Crystal-Fantasy In reply to darkn2ght [2010-07-14 14:30:49 +0000 UTC]
ya, that ending really sucked for FMA, it was AWFUL! i mean, u dont make the main character die EVAR even if he IS brought back to life!
and i RLY hope that they end up continuing DGM, i have also heard the same rumor

Crystal-Fantasy In reply to darkn2ght [2010-07-14 14:50:06 +0000 UTC]
i know! like in Code Geass, i totally saw that coming in the end though. to me it was sort of predictable :/
and ya, they killed like EVERYONE that was important to the series except suzaku! bullcrap man!
