Ari is beautiful as always. Can I order Ari's commission and pay in ink? if possible, how much ink will one commission cost?
Hello! After thinking it over, how does 40 000 ink sound? It won't look the same, that is such an old image, an I'm using a different drawing program now. :)
Hi! Yes of course I agree. Where can I send an image for you to draw Ari?
Please send it to amarita.dai@gmail.com
Aww, thank you so much! I hope you don't mind waiting until possibly by January at latest. I have a lot of other work I need to get out of the way on top of Christmas plans. I will try my best to finish it sooner though. :)
Yes of course :)
You guys are absolute sweethearts. Thank you so much for the cameo !! I feel like I got a free full page ad in Shounen Jump or something. And the strip itself is super-duper adorable. Uncle Vinnie as scary, over-protective "dad" is comedy gold, and seeing Jeremy in color and in your style is a fabulous treat.
Must figure out some way to return the favor..

You're welcome! I don't hav that big an audience so I'm happy that you got subs out of it. And you don't have to, Jeremy's guest appearance is a small thank you for being such a great client. :)
Your audience is about ten times bigger than mine, so this was a super generous thing to do. Got like 22 subs in a day and some of them even read it. :) And speaking of being a client, let me know when/if you have a free slot this next month.
Sure I'll let you know. :)
Hey man! I was wondering if I could ask you something...
I have been struggling years trying to figure it out... how do you give that look to your drawings, ive seen some people doing it is like the did not use line art jsut water color, is it the brushes do you have like a tutorial on that?
Ah yes, it is a painted style, albeit done digitally in Photoshop. The brushes I mainly use for the characters are default to the program. The backgrounds are done with custom brushes, but they still function similar to the default, with just some texture on them.
I don't have a tutorial for how I paint, as I don't think I'm good enough an artist to give lessons. And my methods are hard to explain right now, but I might put up a step by step guide of my work process just to give a general idea. Altho it might take some time. :3

I would appreciate that if you ever do it you can tag me so I can learn I only use line art and lines for shadows
Sure thing, although I might not put it here, as I don't like to disrupt the comic's flow, but I'll send you a pm if it goes up.
thnx bro
you have incredible artistic talent and technique, but I think you need to work on mashing up dialogue and frames. Your characters lack animosity although they are so beautifully drawn and the plot becomes confusing with the placement of panels and text. The tones you use lack contrast--everything looks a bit too washed out and gray-this gives the reader a hard time figuring out where to focus the eyes. The whiteness of your text bubbles in comparison stand out, and therefore become very distracting features. Less tones can be better, especially for impact!! Thing don't have to be complex to look realistic!! Take a look at some manga artist for examples of this--they can teach a lot. Sometimes a character drawn very badly in a comic can look better than one with perfect anatomy--because it brings out emotions and expressiveness. Do you plan out your panels? This is just my opinion, thanks for listening!!
I am trying to work on the contrast, and honestly, I've been moving away from the manga style thing, because I received a really scathing review a few years back that didn't really have good things to say about my art, (that my then-style didn't do any favours) so I decided to do something different than my previous attempts. I do plan out my panels in a fashion, but because I need to keep moving I don't really have time to do multiple versions. Thanks for reading! :)
