Artist's Comments

It was an old tale...
a promise, broken. Love turns into hatred, and the curse began...

"those who sees dandelion and ' purple soul ', shall be erased from their lover's memory, for eternity."
...

They were young, but there was adolescent love.

truth was revealed, and...

Everyone left, she was alone. He came, but he was an enemy.

He loves her, but she was not who he wants.

for survival, to find her loved one, she'll stay with him, until...

The reborn of Dandelions.

Trailer ends

^O^ Phew! If you are interested enough to stop by, then congrats, you've just became my coming soon shojou manga - Dandelion's potential reader.

Characters
Ok, you are probably quite confused by the "he"s and "she"s from my trailer, better introduce the characters!

Left - Kie: He's brought up in orphanage, now entitles to gang leader. Quick at fist fights, does part-time to keep up with living, goes to school half a day, still gets top marks. He appears to be casual, but rather serious inside. His dark secrets are to be revealed in story.

Right - Achi (my friend didn't like the name. T_T): childhood friend with Natsuko, left for specific reason. His love for Natsuko grows as he gets older. Genius artist. Quite gentle, but only appears truly active around Natsuko.

Middle - Natsuko: Active and mischevous when little, a tragedy changed her life. Since then she acts on her own, tense all the time. She appears unapproachable, but is femine inside. She has strong will to find Achi.

-------

that's how much I'm going to tell, don't want to spoil it! You are free to comment on characters and even give a prediction on the storyline. (I'm wondering if I'm being too cliche. lol)


I've used watercolor PAPER to draw this. >O< I bought the papers a few months ago, and never dared to use it. (They are so expensive!!) Even though this isn't a master piece in aspect of composition, but it has great meaning to me. Geez, it still turned out so messy! Watercolor paper's harder to use than i thought. It's not as absorbant, and it's really hard to draw details. Sorry! (looks like patches of color...) And i just can't help smearing everywhere. >_< To finish off I used paint dribbles. I read somewhere to use toothbrush and scrape the paints off, you should get a sprinkled white dots effect. I got the effect all right, =_= i had it all over my face and clothes and table and floor. But hardly any dots landed on that bit of paper. XO The red dribble was hard too, i can't get it to the exact place. Had to edit a lot on Photoshop, the scanner totally ruined my color!

Aiki~

When you find someone to love
You're the only one who can chose how you feel about them.
Don't let other people sway you
Because it's not wrong to love them, for who they are.
Like how it isn't wrong for someone to love you, for who you are.

*screams* KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!

I looked at this picture carefully and thought, 'Is this the cover for a manga aiki might do?!' Sure enough, I was right!

Am I smart or what? I could just TELL it was a cover.

I see you are following in my footsteps (lol) (lol) and drawing an actual manga! I AM SOOOO EXCITED!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG~~~!!!!!!!!

I rrealized that this was different than your other pictures. I like th etexture of this! This is nice!

LOL, you got paint all over yourself... I always do that when I paint... I am messy. I love your "dribble" effect. I want to try it but I am scared. o__O

These are VERY creative and interesting characters!! I can't predict the manga!! Usually, I try to predict manga that I read.

All three of them are really cute!! ^^ Achi is a cute name!

Which makes me think... oh gosh, will I comment a lot on your manga. I read a lot of manga, so I am good at analyzing... I will read very closely. Although, maybe I need to read the whole thing before I can be very thorough.

So...
How long will it be? When is it coming? TELL USSSSS!!!!
See, when I did my one-shot, I did the whole thing before putting it on Deviantart, and then submitted all of it in one day. That was exhausting... but at least I didn't keep people in suspense!

Oh yeah. I WILL draw fanart if I have time. <33333 Oooh, good idea, Super.

THIS MAKES ME WANT TO DRAW ANOTHER MANGA. 8D
(I've had an idea for another one, but didn't do it because I was worried I wouldn't have time. Now I feel motivated!)

Your manga has a good plot so far. I'm eager to see more!
This picture is pretty. I think patches of colors are what give charm to this technique. ^^

lol. actually, i've planned this since 14. (nearly two years ago.) but then as i went into 15, i realized how cliche it sounded, and recycled the idea. I got all heat up and drew lots character designs, manga pages...etc. But after a few months i was like, "geez, my drawings suck..." so i stopped and waited another few months. The inspiration still comes from time to time, (maybe this is just another round of sudden inspiration)And truly, i told myself, if i ever gets published, this IS the manga. I kept elaborating it, storyline and stuff. (now it sound real sinister...=_=; )

No idea when it will come. I still can't tone manga properly, don't have toning tools. And I'm NOT going to CG every single page...It's going to be a long one though...lol

Good luck with your new manga. ^-^
