and that's the end of Eve's gaiden (aka backstory thing)
I'll try not to upload so obsessively and instead focus on sleeping (I just get lost on this effing website aarrggh too much fun)… but… I really want to put up all of my pagessss!!!! waaaahhh!!! oh well. Thanks for comments, if I actually get any, which I might, but who knows really. ^_^
OK… now I'm going to explain why I just uploaded about 41 high-detail pages in less than 48 hours. This June, I had a really lame office job in which I was never, ever supervised, so instead of actually doing work, I thought, and planned, and started this comic. At first it was going to be a story, no superpowers, no pictures, etc. Based on Tom's backstory, which I won't spoil. But then I watched too much anime, and suddenly decided that rather than be a portrait painter, I would be a manga-ka!!! (here, you can have a link to a random painting of my brother!!(he's really cute!)

(that painting is actually huge, 30"x40", and it's one of the very few paintings of mine I have photographed, because my camera broke.)
So, I had many hurdles to overcome. I didn't (and still don't, admittedly) know much about manga, I couldn't (and can't, at all, at all) use computers to make art (I don't have a mouse, and the closest thing I have to photoshop is Paint.) Nonetheless, I will someday get both photoshop *and* a drawing tablet, and all my dreams of being a real manga-ka will come true!
Until recently, though, I was planning on selling real copies of my manga for a few bucks each. However, I realized that no one who wasn't related or friends with me would ever pay for something at this quality level, so I decided to put it on the internet instead, for free, for all, because all I want is to be famous!!!! (pleease!!)
Some of these pages have sentimental value to them… later on especially, I did a few pages when I was in south america. Actually, the coloring and inking gets a lot better once I got to Buenos Aires and went to an art shop, where everything was really cheap (because it was buenos aires after all.)
well I think that's enough psychotic rambling for now!!! ^_^ it's 10:30 AM and I still haven't gone to bed!! aaagghhh why is my sleep schedule so bad??!
