Artist's commentary
Tenchu - the purple Iris
...."ayame" in general use means iris(flower) I think. (But her name wrote with different kanji,meanings are "colorful"and"woman",hmm? ^_^)
My Aya sketch from around Febuary I think. I'm trying to practice with digital watercolor in Painter8,and the colors turn out look like a rotten grape Sweating a little...
But anyway,now I'm working without pressure these time. I've been putting myself under pressure for quite long. And I just realize that it's useless to think like that. If there's someone kick me in the head,I think it was my temporary-advicer/graduated senpai,who is a pro manga artist. He said,(about making original comic) "If you love fish,then make your comic about fish,you don't have to pretend by making robot,space,fantasy or any big idea comic like the others do." (and his smash hit comic is "Joe the Sea-cret agent",an action-gangster comic,which almost all characters are Mutants,half fish half human,squid...and more,So now that's the big idea^^) And he has encourage me about my short comic (made for University's Comic Event official book) So I think now I have my own visions back,and don't afraid of having different taste with other manga-girl friends anymore(I mean,the female artists who draw fanarts,making doujinshi,something like that...)
