THANK YOU EVERYONE I LOVE YOU ALL!! ^___^ I was really nervous about using charcoal to tone with, but unexpectedly it came out really really beautiful through the scanner with the maroonish hues. It kinda takes a long time, and I'm not that great at blending yet XD But half of me believes that it's better then just outlines. If anyone thinks I shouldn't tone like this let me know, I don't mind at all lol

Writing musical sounds out is probly the funniest and most frustrating part of the last two pages XD But two weeks ago between "Place For My Head" (Linkin Park =D) and "Shameless" (Say Anything *eats the music with a gold spork* ^__^) I decided on how I was going to visually translate music; with words as sound effects. Because not everyone knows musical notation or tablature, and drawing those out too often would drive me mad-er. (*Ahem* I'm already insane enough thank you! =D) But I previously toyed around with writing musical sound effects and drawing stave which is how I made my choice. The former on page 6 here in Anthem, and the latter on a page I scrapped when I got serous about this manga last summer. So yeah >.> I think I'm making up for not talking last week or something lmao

MY INSURANCE PREMIUM WENT DOWN! ^_^ Tax return monies are on their way to my savings account! =D Mysterious Girlfriend X is SOOOO UNDESCRIBABLY AWESOME! XD (If I had a girlfriend to be weird/kinky with like that.. the world might implode from my endless joy rotfl) And Propel kiwi-strawberry is delicious ^^

Please enjoy! =) And as always feel free to critique, comment and/or rate! Til next week~
