Not a Drop to Drink
usedbooks on Feb. 23, 2008
Guess what. Today marks the one year anniversary since I came to DrunkDuck. :) Yep. One year ago, I caved to my brother's suggestion to scan and upload my ugly pages that previously only me and my friends had seen. Chances are, either I would have continued drawing at that same horrible level or lost interest entirely if it hadn't been for you guys reading and encouraging me, so thank you for making me feel so welcome here.
I dug out my very first 3-ring binder and found some of my earliest brainstorming sketches, drawn January 2007. Here they are.
~Earliest designs
~Kaida
~Yuki
~Seiko
~Jiro
n_y_japlander: Yuki might have had other plans tonight that doesn't involve her friends – though not doing her job is inexcusable.
Tantz: lol. I was thinking along the lines of fiction, which favors tragic irony and punishes hubris.
Peipei: He had to work up some courage to ask. Unfortunately, the moment has passed and he had to leave with Mike.
amanda: Yuki has trouble keeping her jobs. XD
LanceDanger: It does appear that way.

Your DD Birthday is close to mine ^_^ I missed pages but caught up. Darn Seiko looking for excuses not to talk to Tristan! They need to find Yuki FAST! So the two can mingle some more =p

Heh heh! Well in that case you are referring to the stuck up sobs who thinking they are blessed believe gives them the right to be naughty to everyone else. ;) And why do I think Yuki's in trouble?

Gratz on being in DD for 1 year :D...I think they are taking this a little lightly...I have a huge feeling that Yuki didn't leave on her own accord...Could she have been kidnapped? By that new boyfriend of hers? Or maybe she lost track of time and decided to go to his place? :s...Idk...I don't trust him xD Also, I love the colored page you have provided us today :3 good work
