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~

haha, u haven't seen my previous works which kinda bombed as it looks like..poster colour ORZlll. if you click one of the thumbs in my artist's comments, it will lead u to my other site. the gal and guy embracing each other piece was like ??? to me when i colour. i think it's the watercolours i was using. they were of a different brand which i was trying out. i guess this is what i should expect from the company which specializes more on making poster colour XDDD! haha

oh thank you^_^ i will check later tomorrow since am beat today after work!
i think some people are just too afraid to hurt others' feelings or dunno how to go about giving constructive instead of destructive (D) kind of comments, so they just keep mum.

Luffy-sparkle In reply to darkn2ght [2010-07-14 17:04:30 +0000 UTC]
it's okay oh may i ask what you work?
true, that's why sometimes i don't leave a comment to just say it's ugly or there are failures or so i couldn't bear to heart someones feelings but having two options telling good and bad on a artwork with the good being more i can write some comment ^^

How in the world did you draw Mana? I have a hard enough time finding a good enough picture of Miranda in her uniform to get it right! Woah! Great job!
This is really cute! I love the emotion. Makes me feel so happy ^_^
π: 0 β©: 1
darkn2ght In reply to CrystalWaterTales [2010-07-11 13:29:02 +0000 UTC]
haha, i had to open 3 books as reference when i draw, plus teh official artbook. mana i found in book 15, chapter 135
yeah, miranda in her new uniform is hardly shown. but you can find it in the Dgray-man artbook, Noche.
thanks. am glad it makes u feel happy^^!

CrystalWaterTales In reply to darkn2ght [2010-07-11 19:17:05 +0000 UTC]
Ah
Oh... I don't have one. XD I've seen her uniform many times... Even in full-body pictures, but the details are always scewed by position or how big the original drawing was. XD
Thank you

darkn2ght In reply to CrystalWaterTales [2010-07-12 14:14:35 +0000 UTC]
oh, i am sorry to hear that. i don't think her new uniform is shown much, or at all, come to think of it, in the manga. but there's one very good picture of it of her with the rest of the group in Noche had a terrible time getting my hands on one of the copies. the 1st print sold out so i read online, mine is the 3rd print. and even then, the kinokuniya bookstore ran out of stock so they had to order one for me XDDD;;;;;

CrystalWaterTales In reply to darkn2ght [2010-07-12 14:30:19 +0000 UTC]
XD I don' think that's an option then. Thanks so much for the help though I'll just keep guessing at it XD I usually go for the anime-styled uniform. I like it better. Probably because it's navy blue, almost black, but not quite. I like blue.

darkn2ght In reply to CrystalWaterTales [2010-07-12 14:52:39 +0000 UTC]
haha. but they still have the book. it's just that most places ran out of pre-ordered amount of stock. mine arrived a week later. that was..fast ! i was very surprised myself, having never ordered any books that arrived with such speed before. it's so beautiful i coulda cried when i finally held it on my hands. it's packed with many little surprises here and there. my only regret is that it doesn't include the coloured manga PAGES as well.
i missed the last few episodes in the anime. missing link today i just borrowed them from fren. hope the translation is ok. i dunno what the film board of my country is thinking at times when they passed an incomprehensibly translated anime! 8D; persona trinity soul left me and fren with a 'huh?' expression on our faces when we watched!
