GxG isn't just for lesbian women... *cough* Though I think it fares better with lesbians compared to how gay guys tend to feel about BL/yaoi, because most yuri authors I know ARE women. Yuri/Class S genre was invented by women, not for a man's pleasure. Almost all stories centralizing or featuring y...

Mustache in French is feminine. :3 Same with men's shirts... and a woman's shirt is masculine. Gosh darnit, romance languages, it's like they made it so the opposite sex is rubbing all over you, or so that the pen and pencil can have an affair :lol: Gross. But something funny and very flawed about ...

Just a note-- I disagree with the bit about GxG CLEARLY being aimed at men-- it's not that rare for an otome game to have a GxG ending, even though it's usually "we're just super close bestest friends". Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 5 has a more-than-friends GxG ending... and there are so man...

Been setting aside VN projects to work on a manga instead... it's hard work but this feels like one of the best possible ways to learn how to work with perspectives and draw all kinds of things. Easy way to portfolio-build I guess. Doing the paneling also feels kinda like directing a movie (though d...

Some people know soooo many languages o.o Wow. For me, it's English (native), Japanese (stuck at JLPT level 2, trying to move up to 1), some French, some Italian, and some random words/phrases in Greek. I have a hard enough time just retaining both English and Japanese in my head... I think I'm too ...

^ I think that's less of a problem in writing and more of a problem with society in general, though poor writing certainly doesn't help anyone. I mean, a lot of people still are very uncomfortable with anything involving female + sexuality, so there's a huge dichotomy between the "eek don't loo...

I'm neutral about the boob thing usually. In anime-style at least, I just see huge perky boobs and perfectly form-fitting clothing the same as the exaggerated large eyes, long legs etc. Although when a character's outfit is impossible without use of lots of body glue, and it's somehow worn without u...

This site has decent tutorials, though it's in Japanese http://blankcoin.com/ If you really wanna start learning how to draw backgrounds by hand, take a lot of photos around your house and neighborhood and try to find the perspective lines in them (I find photos to be better references than 3d for s...

I like both, dark comedies rock. Even the dark and disturbing can be funny and absurd depending on how you look at it. Life is neither one or the other-- isn't that what makes ADVs fun though? You could probably make the story lighter or darker depending on how you play. Whenever I write something t...

Well, in most of the professional games I've played, I immensely enjoyed the voice acting (ie. it was one of the main reasons I bought the PS3 version of Umineko, and I loved loved the dub of Xenosaga eps I and III. II had weird voice direction). I've actually done a bit of amateur acting and voice ...

I dunno. I love characters that other people seem to hate, like aforementioned Shinji Ikari. I felt bad for him because he actually seemed really normal to me, though I related more to Asuka. Felt like a pretty natural interpretation of a troubled kid who wants to be loved, but pushes everyone away ...

I think some of the most common mistakes are 1) messed up ratios. Hands too big, arms too long or short, neck too long, etc etc. Even with stylized forms like anime, unless you're going for a super -stylized or deformed look, it needs to follow some basic anatomy points. There are tons of visual ref...

I would argue that there is even some reason for the "bad writing". It was necessitated by the origins of the genre. For instance, the blander the protagonist, the easier it is for the reader to project himself into the story as being the actual character, and this accounts for most of th...

C. Childhood pals (No one I know has a "childhood pal" of the opposite gender) ^Actually this happens a lot (I'm an uber girly-girl and even I used to play with boys up until a certain age, and I have many male friends now) but if they're still friends I'd think the girl would have to hav...

Thx for the comments :D @Anthy, i like it! it's very classy~ and the way u color it really matches the feel. did u color it in computer or manually? The lineart was done in pencil and I colored it in SAI Anthy: You were spot on with the style, for better or worse. The subject (tender woman with rose...
