Happy Birthday

I have had you work a lot for me this year! Thank you for all the beautiful art! You are amazing! I hope you have a wonderful time! I wish you happy birthday and to have everything you wish in your life! Thank you for everything!

Nana's adventures in artland:

As you can see I am still struggling with Manga Studio, I keep learning things and try to make it work.I will be honest! I wanted something to draw, but didn't know what, and also I have realised I do a little better when I draw for other people. So Binka-chan's birthday gave me a good thing to draw~
Evangeline was the one that tortured me the most, and occupied most of my time. It might be because she was the first one I drew, or maybe it is just those damned curles! I never want to draw hair like this again. At least I hope I got it right, because I had two references, and in one of the two, her hair was tied up, so I can't be certain... I think I made them longer than they actually are *sighs*
Flynn was the one I had most references for, but still the outfit was something I wasn't too sure of... Well, I settled in what excisted in all three pictures. A vest. I hope he is well! He might be a little ooc? I dunno.
Jones was a real problem, because I had only one reference, and that one was chibi, which sort of made me wonder a lot of things. As well as his sense of fashion, and his size! I bet he isn't that big next to Flynn! I apologize! But really now, there are a lot of anatomical errors.
Lag and Zazie are probably my favorite ones in the picture... Maybe because we don;t see their face. I was between Lag and Zazie, and Gauche with Jiggy. I went with the shotas (Mili will certainly say 'obviously' while she reads this). But if Bibi had submitted the picture with Gauche and Jiggy a few days ago, maybe I would have gone with them...

The toning is something I think I am getting the hang of, but my anatomy remains a problem (like Jones' slender arm)... I will keep trying.

Sorry for the rant, Binka-chan!!! *bows* Happy brithday once more!

It's me once again, coming very very late and I am sorry my dear Angie I was so busy with work and away from the computer lately ; A ;
Buuuuut I will have a lot of time now for DA, I'm sooooo happpyyyyyyy I can come and comment everything !! Because I'm so late >___<

As I told you, my heart jumped, I still can't stop to stare at your wonderful drawing and it reminds me of a great doujinshi for our stories ^^
I'm so happy to see our babies in your style, long time I didn't see them in another style and your style is really fitting to me <3<3<3<3<3<3

I'll start with Evangéline

!! She is the first character we see on the picture, she's everyone's little princess after all. She is just so cute, and fresh... and delicate... your sense of fashion is perfect I'm sure Flynn agreed with me. Yes. I really want this pair of leggins/thighs with the "Letter Bee hearts" on it TwT it's so cute, such a nice detail !! I see her bracelet too, the ones with music notes I drew for her once >w< *pokes the little Bees on her ribbons* soooo sweeeet +A+ !! I want this too ! I gonna make it with polymer clay I think ! >w<
I'm so sorry about her hair, you told it was hard ; A ; but it was worth it !!! It's amazing, it looks like her hair exactly with pretty curls at the end of it ^^ they are long enough don't worry ! You did an awesome job, I can stare at her magical eyes for hours.... and it's like we can read in her mind through their shines. I love her ; ///// ; !!!
Oh by the way, yes Evangéline is like Flynn's sister but not officially ! I mean, not by blood, she is not adopted either. They found each others, and they love each others as a real brother and sister their bound is special ~ Eva is Flynn's little princess ^^

About Flynn and Jones !! <3<3<3<3
I'm so in love with this couple... (as each couple of our stories of course, but sometimes we have "preferences" and I must say I love the little prince with the great pirate so much...) you can't even imagine how I was surprise to see them ;//////;
I can imagine it was hard for you as you didn't have a lot of ref in my gallery ; A ; I'm so sorry and you still made it !! It's amazing, you looked for every little details, I'm so amazed once again by the work you did and your motivation too. I'm so, so SO touched... I really mean it. Don't worry, they are perfect the way you drew them <3
About their sizes you guessed right ! It's perfect ^^ And their senses of fashion too, Flynn is a rich boy coming from a rich family, he has a lot of tastes for fashion (he loves to dress Evangéline for fun X3) so this outfit fits him very well ! I can totally imagine him wearing it ^^ As for Jones, he is a special Bee and a great pirate. This coat you drew fits also very well and I just love the little crosses you drew on it +A+ !!
Can I say I love the way you draw hands ?? It's so awesome seriously, I love seeing Flynn's hand in his lover hand like this... it's so delicate... And Jones's other hand looks so natural, I can say you improved a lot ! And not only about anatomy, about details etc... I can't stop looking at their costumes once again >/////< But my my, the hair ! Jones's hair looks so soft, I like these shines on it. That's not easy when you work on a manga coloring style, I mean on black hair ; A ; you did it very well ~ BWAAAHHH they seem to be so happy, Flynn's smile ; A ; and Jones smirk, I'm in love %3 that's exactly how he is supposed to be =////=

And our last couple, Zazie and Lag... *explosion* ;/////////;

As I told you once again, I just love Lag and Zazie as much as Jiggy and Gauche so don't mind about it. I think it's better to see Lag and Zazie here too, because they are very friends with Evangéline, and Flynn too ! Gauche and Jiggy have other friends, they are "closer" to Jones than the other bee but... anyway, it's perfect this way ^^
Lag is a little angel with the wings on his back ; w ; and the cat for Zazie = purrfect choice. I can notice you drew his cat ears too ;////; the cat tail is a big bonus I can't stop loving XD I'm found of kitty Zazie !!
Once again, applaud for the sens of fashion you have >///< they are so cute this way, and I can see how Lag is so happy holding the arm of his kitten. His best friend, his lover ; w ; it's so complicated for them, I'm so touched to see them like this.... peaceful and perfect together. I love them, with all my heart... and you made me die a little because it's too beautiful... even if they are in the background, they are shining the most to me >//////< they're like a yin-yang this way with the clothes etc. I'm seriously in love ....

I must be like a old grandma saying always the same things >////< but I'm in love with this drawing, this doujin page ! I can imagine a special chapter, a special story for them ~
Thank you, I'm very grateful for having such wonderful old friends still on DA. I don't have a lot of online friends, and the few I still have are people like you Angie. I'm grateful, and happy to come on DA to see you "still living here". Not only for the drawing I receive on my bday of course not. I'm talking about your presence. It's very important, I'm so happy and I mean it....

Thanks for being you with all the art, sensibility you have.... and please, never ever change who you are
