YAY! I did it! I managed to put out the page on time (with the delay but Wtvr!) biggrin Yay for me! Though I almost didn't! I think I'm really starting to get faster at drawing also, I think my poses and stuff are really starting to improve! What's left? Backgrounds and Toning! I must get over these obstacles for every one of my readers to really feel like they're reading a professional Manga! biggrin
Anyhoo, some of you expected the fight to intensify but in a surprising turns of events it looks like Bon Clay had *some* dignity after all! I have to admit, that he is my favorite thing in this page! biggrin We'll how things turn out in the next page. The layout is a bit more scattered so I hope all of you can understand the order. Frankly, the layout was the hardest thing for me to think up! >_> I kept changing my mind on what I wanted to do but I think it turned out for the best. And YES boys and girls... there's a tiny bit of toning. The main reason why is cause the page would have felt really empty without it!
Check out my next 2 posts for BOWBS Commentaries and *GASP* a CONTEST!
And I want everyone to wish PenguinsStealMySanity a Happy Birthday! biggrin If you have any extra Gold, send her a little presie or a little something from her wishlist! biggrin Happy Birthday girl! (Don't worry Kathrine! I'll get you next time!)

To All readers! Please try to get your friends to read this! I want to cause enough of a stir to get my journal put in the Featured Journal section on Gaia. So the more peeps that know about my manga the more attention I will get. So tell everyone, that if they like this they should comment, recommend and spread the word! I've met people who say they read but have never posted a comment. So maybe this will encourage them to!
Also, to get my journal in the Featured Journal section PLEASE select the recommend button under "Gaia Journals" up top of your journal options.
~*~
If anyone is interested in TONING! If you are and want to help me make this manga even BETTER then please PM me with samples and how you would tone one of my pages. I now have no gold to offer for this help. It would would be completely voluntary. Thank you for your interest.

I really love how BonClay turned out in the bottom panel. Though he almost looks a little shocked at his own actions. I'm almost.. touched!
EDIT: I claim emo as my icon of choice!
EDIT2: Yay.. commentary. You said my name w00t w00t. Yes.. I said w00t. Thank you for answering everyones questions Bella. It helps us know more about you, and the Manga.

Hm, I think I'm starting to like Bon Clay better now. At least i know he has a conscience. Bella and Alba HUGGED!! Sorta. And Bon Clay's hair looks awesome.
BRRRRRAP!! Thank you again for the gift. You RAWK BELLA.
I bet you nobody will ever look at this anyways, but here goes! Alba looks like Tamaki in the last panel when haruhi threw herself on him when there was the thunderstorm.

crying Well... I didn't think I was being original... but you compare my manga a lot to Ouran... just to let you know I'm not copying! gonk I don't even own the Ouran manga! cryinggonk
Hehe, I won the last contest, I'll stay out of this one. lol
But don't worry, Bell-Bell, I'm working on bringing new readers in no matter what. I don't have to be in a contest to tell people about the manga and your amazing art.
OMG! I love Bon Clay's face in that bottom pannel! It makes me go "aw!" And goodness, Josh is so frantic! But that last panel is absolutely adorable!
-wonders where she went in the manga-

Ah! I think a ninja is like meh... Sounds like a fun contest...
This page pulled at me. Bon Clay can't possibly forget the bond between siblings, can he? I mean, my own big brother can be a *** to me, but I know he's still gonna be my bro for life. This page just... hit me. They're still brothers... -sniffle- Just the looks on their faces, I mean... Wow... It's like Bon Clay's a totally different person in that panel!

Geek Bursting · Community Member · Thu Nov 29, 2007 @ 11:57pm

that contest is too much work for me... but good luck to those entering!
