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 i see. i guess ordering thru a bookstore makes it slightly cheaper then. don't worry, if there's a will, there's a way~(though something has been obstructing my purchase of the persona 3 artbook since beginning of this year now TT...XDDDDD;;;; )

OMG! I love it! It's so cute, yet kinda sad, because we all know what happens afterwards.

u can but try every time i do watercolours, i too think, i can't do it, then i toss thought out of the window 'cuz i know i want to do it and doing a traditional piece doesn't leave much room for doubt! no ctl+z so to speak
beginners usually start by tracing or copying the style exactly before they feel comfortable enough to try more daring lines on their own. i know one naruto fanartist whose line was super skaky at 1st and definitely a copy, but now he's more stable
if it will make u feel better, this piece is my third try...my 1st two tries doesn't look like allen so to speak
haha.

well, hoshino sensei did draw him and mana in a dream holding hands and happily going off somewhere but that allen is a different version. i saw he had a star. but he isn't supposed to have a star till his innocence killed mana.
