W-Wow, I'm really surprised that people still check this thread out. *blush*
@winternight119 Thank you. ^^ And I know...it really sucks because even though I'm an art major, I felt like my "improvement" didn't really go nowhere. OTL;;;
My uni professors don't like stylized art; they only want you to stick to "realism" because that's "true" art for them. *sigh* I still fail at doing traditional because I grew up using digital to draw/color my art.
But rant aside, I'm actually surprised that many people think of my style as
Honey and Clover because my old style was really inspired from Aya Nakahara's style (Lovely Complex). xD And I'm also happy to hear that you liked my manga, even though I haven't worked on it in a while now. *blames uni*
About DA: Well...I had one, but because my style is different now, I'm actually ashamed of everything I've done in '09. ^^; I did decide this morning to make a separate tumblr account to spam--er, I mean,
post all my crappy art/sketch/WIPs without worrying about spamming my friends' dashboards. -_-;; I thought it would be a good regime for me to draw something daily, so...if you're interested in checking it out, it's here:

@AQU Oh, gosh. O_O T-Thank you so much...! I'm so honored you like my old art despite its obvious crappiness because I really love your style. ;_; *follows your art blog*
And you read my manga? I thought my sense of humor sucks, but I'm really glad you liked it. ^^ I'm going to start working on it again sometime. C:
@Chansel Aw, you're far too kind. ;_; Thank you! I love your art as well~
@p2oshandi Aw, shucks. Thank you. ;__; I changed my art style recently, but I still hope you'll like it. ^^
@Tsundere Lightning Thanks...I really love fashion, so I'm glad it came out that way. ^^ Muted colors are my favorite, so yeah. xD
@lepapillionrogue Lol, thank you. C: I'm actually trying to break out from the shoujo style I ended up plunging myself into in 2009 because prior to my adoration of Aya Nakahara's style, I didn't really draw that way. xD
And thank you! My manga sucks, really. You should try checking out other online mangas because their panelling styles are really good. xD
@eranthe Thank you. ;_; I'm really sorry if the colors are too muted...I'm very biased to those colors because they are my favorite. OTL;;
@Guest Aw, thank you. ;_;
@maufii Thank you. ;_; And yes, 5927! *loves* Oh, and no, I appreciate your comment. C: To be honest, the reason why the shadowing is almost non-existent is because I was experimenting on my coloring style. So it was mostly freestyle on my part, as I needed a break from all the "you have to do this!" art professors I had. : )
@deerchan Haha, I'm actually surprised. xD I don't really get to draw/post much art anywhere because I'm always busy studying, so I'm like a ninja artist, lol. I'm trying to break away from that whole "studying takes precedence over art" this time, that's why I built an art blog to force myself to draw everyday. C:
Btw, do you have a DeviantArt?
