Grazie, and it's a good practice, never to be stifled. XD

Haha, "Stop being distracted!"
That's great. You're great.

Grazie. It's a sad day when your most distracting character has to tell you to stop being distracted.

Haha..at first I thought Hyde and leperello didn't look that much alike but in the picture that says "after the graveyard spirit has spoken" I can totally see the influence of design in leperello to Hyde
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol same face shape and chin.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mhmm.....I at first almost mistaked it as Hyde because the drawing was tiny and I couldn't see leperello's details
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah. This is telling. I'll probably alter one of their designs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You don't have to alter ether one of their designs but I wouldn't alter them too much if you do

I want to try to get more versatility in the faces. Hmm...I'll see. Maybe I'll do a sketch dump involving each of them.

We'll see if I can get around to it.

Thanks! That's a young Clive, early twenties.

O.o I really want to see him appear now.....

When we meet Clive and Sridar in the comic, they're in their forties, though I am planning a spin-off series exploring their earlier days, where these designs will be used. They've also known Shibuki for a while, and anytime he brings up a flashback, I need to know what they look like. Also, in general, it's just good to know all the ins and outs of your characters even if you're never going to use a lot of the information.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can understand that. I sort of have to do that with one of my characters and for his back story, it requires a lot more research on stupid little things. :/ And a spin off.... oooooo I would love to see that!! :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, research is fun when you're doing it for a character! What kind of research?
Hopefully the spin-off will be a huge collab project. I want to have my girlfriend come up with story ideas (as she's very good at that and we in general work best together), and to do a lot of the art, though I'll be doing story and art as well. I'm thinking there will be one underlying plot (how they became friends) plus a lot of different and silly adventures. I'll illustrate the main plot and will illustrate the fun adventures, that's what I'm thinking will happen. Still, *shrug*, that's years from now. I have to get HMS up and rolling in order for anyone to even know who these characters are.

Well LA before WW2, which is nearly impossible since it changed so much in 50 years. -__- And then fashion styles back then along with really stupid stuff since I am a perfectionist. As for your spin off, do it, the idea sounds like it has a lot of potential.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, sounds fun! Fashion is always really interesting historically. I myself am attracted to the 18th and 19th centuries for that same reason. Is this for your comic?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. Zoot suits for all! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's so interesting to study them because they become more sober in the 19th century and the change that occurred in fashion from 1775 to the 1790s is CRAZY, like going to almost opposite ends of the spectrum. In this picture, the newer 1790s style is on the left (going back to Greek-inspired clothing for the women and a more working-man sort of look for the men) and the 1770s couple are on the right, mortified and looking very much like peacocks.

I guess it was the beginning of the simplification of fashion.

Cages? Those are the um...the wooden things holding the dresses up, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, those things that was added to the dress to give an extra umph to the hour glass figure.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I believe in the 1850s something similar to a cage, called a crinoline, was invented.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
how long did that craze last? I remember seeing this in photographs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, at around 1864 the crinoline, which widened at all areas, became a crinolette, which was wide only at the back and not at the sides or the front. Crinolines are actually still worn today in wedding dresses and such.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But since it widened it at all areas, is it flexible, or I guess collapsable?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was made of stiff fabric, so you could sit in it.

-deep breath- if I recall you said Hyde was going to be in your next sketch dump.....WHERE IS HE?!

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO

o__o.....you're not mad at me are you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha no, I remember I said I'd do it, but I didn't include those yet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh ok...I just didn't want to make you mad

I was playing with you.

Forever approving of more and more and MOAR Don Giovanni! 
I was tempted to call Kitten!Sridar cute, then I took a better look at his expression. I'll just give him a little pat and then leave him alone. Promise.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Truly he IS a massive jerkass, but his arias are stellar.
HAHAHA I love how people can tell it's Sridar...yeah, he hates being called cute.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Wow, you have really, REALLY nice cursive...
These guys all look so nice! I think the colored-in Sridar, and the 'Stop being distracted' Rem are my favorites, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! I also like my color ones. I don't often have time to color those two and they're going to be in the comic soon, so I might as well figure it out. XD
Haha the 'Stop being distracted' Rem is on my 20th century literature class notes. I draw a lot in that class.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'd like to imagine that you don't even draw Rem on your notes. You get up to get a bagel or something and when you come back he's just there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*comes back with coffee, stops short*
8D
It seems you must have a lot of free time on your hands, and/or you just draw well very quickly o__o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm afraid it's actually the latter. XD Also some of these drawings are from a couple months ago, like the Don ones.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, that makes sense considering how many sketches there are.
Ah'm so jealous of yer skillz yo! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! I do actually draw this much but I haven't uploaded a lot of what I've been sketching recently because it's for the animated film I'm working on and I don't know how much my school will let me reveal.
Ah, you mean like sketch lines and stuff? I like drawing traditionally as well, but I prefer coloring digitally to traditionally. It's just a lot easier and can get more dramatic and vibrant, in my opinion, as it doesn't have to suffer the scanner death.
