1-10 - Diend's "Job"

Kaji Motomiya

on Feb. 7, 2011

WOOH! Made it to my 10th comic! It may not seem like a serious thing to make it ONLY to the 10th comic, but to me, to think I'd even make it as far as a 10th comic makes me happy! I'm proud of myself. There were times when I felt that this comic was too hard to do, and I wanted to quit and stick to fanfiction, drawing, and singing. But every time I buy more figures, I kept thinking, "What if they were like this or that in my comic?" And I found my motivation.

To those who support me, invisibly support me, or just read my comic, thank you so much. This week has come to a great start! (Note that these comics are made usually a day before they go live…I rush them. lol)

There is a reason why long comic is long. The second comic in the bottom was the ORIGINAL 10th comic. But I felt it would've been too dirty for anime lovers or those who are familiar with the term "hentai". The fact that I could even recreate those sounds…I am so ashamed…But I still liked the comic and decided to show it with the newer (top) version. You can tell how long each shot took based on the time in my Alarm clock on the desk. However, that clock is off by 33 minutes. lol

Diend has more panels now! The fact that Diend is the only one in the collection with a "job" is even hard to take in. If you can call it a job. But Diend is the physical manifestation of my figure-hunting. I find figures I want to add to the collection/comic, and order them.

Also, Aigis' reaction in the first comic is my first reaction to the song that was playing. It's called "Koi wa Sensou", or "Love is War", performed by the Japanese Virtual Idol, the Vocaloid "Hatsune Miku" (whose figma I really wanna get). Because you can't hear how it sounds like on the comic, you won't be able to tell what "mix" it was. The one playing (and the one I've been obsessing over) is one of Koi wa Sensou's many mixes, this one being the "PANDORA mix": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5lvlp3arag. The "scream" is the most symbolic part of the songs, but this mix's scream was…unexpected.
