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 so that's what i wanted to show! you were loved, allen.

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! ehehhe...nor allen when he was a kid!)

this picture will also be included in a DGray-man artbook for Malaysia's Dec comic fiesta. anyone wants to be a guest artist? send a note to !

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 wait for me guys~


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 Mana IS a clown, but you can't expect him and allen to go travelling around in clown suits all the time! (grin) i guess that's what Hoshino sensei is thinking too.

*****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~

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;;;; )

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.

thanks^^ i chose these two colours, since my previous foray with colours ended with minor disaster..it looked ok, but some how something doesn't feel rite..ORZ. haha. i meant to post this at my other site too, as that site had more traditional artworks. but i entered the contest with this ID,so oh well.
