Yes it is Mokou because of your avatar.

Well, like who? New drawings are always nice.

Like most of my pictures.

I don't really see how. We could give you a brief summary, and really, thats all you would need. Most of it took place in a small part of the city, mainly inside rooms that held only the people inside them, so your character wouldn't require any additional knowledge to know what happened. There is only 1 or 2 events that your character might know about, but at this rate, so much is still unknown about the events except for knowing that they happened, that it would be perfectly in character to just walk back in on the plot.

And that just shows how much more boundless creativity you have compared to me. ^_^

[nothingclever]

That's a really nice avatar you've made Kasanip. It's quite captivating. I like the style you chose to imitate.

[Kasanip]

Thank you. I am sorry for no sketching recently. It is very busy with school, and to prepare for violin concert, so to have only a little time.

[Kasanip]

It is a long time since an update. But to be afraid of to disappearing, so I wanted to post.

It is very busy and to prepare for violin very hard. Of sketch, I must practice more. Sorry for such a long disappearing.

Image 4 is the most adorable thing ever.

[Elder Tsofu]

I'm just glad when you have time to stop by. ^^

What is the girl in the third picture holding in her left hand?
I got curious since it kind of looks like squished version of what we in Sweden would call a "loppa" (=flea).

I think it was a compass, based on what happened in the RP she is from.

[Silverraptor]

I like them. Also, what is the status on your comic?

[Keveak]

You've got nothing to feel sorry for, Kasanip. Especially not when you make such great sketches.

I'm especially impressed with the first one, but that may come from my own disastrous attempts at drawing like that (water paint? Digital artist, so I'm not sure) and the following respect for anyone who can do it right. ^_^'

But they're all simply amazing. Keep it up when you can, but don't feel pressured to draw when you're already busy.

[Kasanip]

Thank you for the support!
I always am embarrass to make post when show no sketch.

It is origami (folding paper) compass and hair clip of Sayaka.

Because having no money, a publish cannot be made. It is a little sad, but because busy with school and violin, there is no time to have part-time job.

What do you mean about not having money to publish? Were you planning a print run? Or do you mean you can't afford web hosting?

[Keveak]

Webhosting doesn't necessary cost anything, actually.

Most of the Fancomic artists on GiantITP are hosting theirs freely on Imageshack or Photobucket and I believe Elagune is actually being paid by Gaijinmanga for hosting Bibliography with them.

That is correct.

[Kasanip]

Yes it was desire to make publish in print.
It is common to do such a thing, so I wanted to try.

It could be post on my website maybe, but I have no time until after violin concert.

[Fri]

you're going to have a violin concert!?

That's so cool kasanip.... I wish I could use any instrument at all...

[Kasanip]

It is charity concert for Tohoku victims.
I play in orchestra for concert.
But to be very busy because I must learn 8 songs.
I am only amateur of violin, so it is first and very nervous.
So I must practice everyday 3 hours. Because such a practice is long, there is little energy and skill for drawing.

[Silverraptor]

We'll wait until you finish that. Good luck in your concert.

[kamikasei]

Good luck with the concert!

You might be able to take pre-orders. Of course, if you did that here most people buying would probably be outside Japan, so shipping would add to the cost. Plus, getting it organized would take a lot more time than just going to a print shop with your own money. Still, something to consider.

[Fri]

That's it! I'm going to learn something. Umm... harmonica?

The problem now is just finding a place to train without annoying other people...

You could try forming a circle? Find some other artists and pool money, print something containing work from all of you.

[banthesun]

I hope you're enjoying it if you're practicing so much, playing violin is hard.

It would be nice to see your comic published, so I hope you get a chance soon.

Fri, if you really want to learn an instrument you could pick up a cheap guitar and find some easy songs, it's actually a fairly easy instrument.

[Tengu_temp]

Good ran, Kasanip!

This reminds me of a manga called Dōjin Work.

Good luck Kasanip. I'm sure you'll do just fine.
I bet The Devil's Trill will be a piece of cake for you in no time. :P
Regardless of how things turn out it's still admirable that you're doing what you do.

[Kasanip]

Violin Concert is finished! I am happy and there is some free time, so to do some sketch today.

Thank you for idea, but it is not possible to do such an idea because international money and organization is too difficult. I have not translate for English also.

Do your best! I am sure you will make harmonious music soon.

It is a good idea but most Circle it is "Fan Make" of thing like Comic and Animation, but I want to create unique comics.

[horngeek]

I actually play the piano...

And the French Horn, but I've let that down a bit recently.

Yes, the latter is why my username is what it is.

You could email someone the scans and let them print/sell them then send you money via PayPal? I think. It would have to be someone you trust, obviously.

As for translation, there are a number of people around here with some knowledge of Japanese who might be able to help if asked. Though honestly, I think your English is good enough that for most parts you just need a proofreader.

Spoiler

A random thought - "shikigami" and "tsukumogami" could be translated as "anima" and "animus".

Animus is a Latin word that isn't used much outside psychology, but its definitions include

• Life, or ability to move and breathe
• The mind or soul
• Courage, desire, or motivation
• Feelings of anger or resentment
• The innermost part of a person's personality

It is a good idea but most Circle it is "Fan Make" of thing like Comic and Animation, but I want to create unique comics.

You could always try disguising an original story as a fanwork and slowly phasing out the canon parts. It only backfires horribly about half the time.
