Busy Day at the Store
usedbooks on Jan. 24, 2008
This page actually took me three days to clean up and color. I don't know why it was so difficult. Yuki's proportions are way off in the last panel. Otherwise, it looks okay. Oh, and the colored speech bubble in panel 3 is on purpose. (Kaida is mumbling under her breath about her brother.) I chose to leave the sound effects in my handwriting. No real reason. I just try out different things now and then.
In case you don't “get” the last panel, very early on in this story, Yuki accidentally burned down Seiko's apartment building. (That's why Seiko lives with Kaida now. – Um, Kaida had a fire too, but it wasn't as extensive and not Yuki's fault either.) Also, keep in mind that it is May in the comic right now. Hence Yuki's attire and the college text books.
blntmaker: Thanks. Glad you liked it.
n_y_japlander: You don't have to wait long for anything here. ^_^
Peipei: Seiko probably stuck it in her bag accidentally, since they left in a hurry. Tristan might have recognized it – he once had a few of those knives in him…
JustNoPoint: lol. Looks like it.
Tantz: With as much practice as she has, Seiko should be a better liar. XD
amanda: A bit of romance is always fun. It's hard to tell where those two stand at the moment.
LanceDanger: lol. Lucky for Seiko, Tristan won't admit he was snooping. ;-)
Locoma: Ah, good. I like to make things unpredictable as often as possible.

Great colors and nice expressions. I like these kinds of pages.

Yay, a color update! Sorry I haven't been able to leave many comments lately, but work keeps me hella busy right now. I've been digging the stories, though, and reading when I can! :D

Ha, Jeff's feet in panel 1 - I wonder when he'll come into play again. Campus book stores are notorious for giving you pennies back for expensive texts. Grar.

Your coloring ROCKS (as I have said before) about Yuki, just raise her left are to meet the shoulder, and it would look good... but all of us are our oun worse critics! Don't be too hard on yourself... as you see things that we don't! (^O^)

Some old books hold so many memories...

I just love your colored work! It makes everything so vibrant!

That's true. Some people don't have the talent for it though. Seems she got away with it this time... yet. XD

Oh, this is your best colored page to date, though =0 Haha, Yuki =3
