New desktop, and about time. Chibi-sleeping-pink-white-Sayo-chan was there for like 6 months. x_O
...yes, that is Yuuna on my winamp skin. XP
ThE ART IN QUESTION IS WIN, BTW. BEAUTIFUL PICTURE.
EDIT:
Omgz, have sum redhead pictures!

The above is the earliest one, and the one I consider the crappiest of the bunch. Tala looks retarded and everybody else looks dumb...except maybe Luke and Kazumi, and maybe Axel. XP

I like this one A LOT. One, I think I got Fafal perfectly, except some minor things. But stuff like her anatomy is decent, at least. I like what Kazumi is doing, and the phrase "Everybody's got something on their wrist", XP. Everyone looks decent here. I think it's better because I don't kill myself drawing the WHOLE family. *points to Axel + Tala dolls* :P

This one comes from a recent daydream. I'm complementing drawing a whole manga for it, but it's a lot of work and I have to decide whether I do it by tablet or pencil. I draw better with a pencil, but a tablet is faster. Also, since this doesn't look very HUMOUROUS whatsoever, I feel as I have no point in drawing something that I am not at least somewhat experienced at. Read below for the story that came to my head. I don't think it's that good because I attempted a "perspective" type of drawing. Like those posters promoting movies or anime and the main character is like at the front or the biggest one and everybody else is somewhere in the background. I think I made Fafal look WAY too mysterious, and she's not supposed to be. The twins look awkward on the wolf's head, Tala looks like a main character too...I guess I only like Lavi and Axel in this one. XD

This is a scene from said daydream. Emo and angsty...not my usual thing, that's why I am hesitant to start a comic on it. Be better with something more light-hearted and my style...less chance of failing even harder, anyway. Yes, I realize only three characters are in it. Reno's the main character if you haven't noticed. Him, Lavi, and Kazumi appear first because...they are the original three, after all. I suppose there might be a tiny slight slim chance that one of you may be curious what this daydream is all about...It's rather cliche. It may remind you of something that you learned in History, or something. >>;
SO HERE WE GO...EMO AWAY!!!!:
Title: Untitled
Setting: One of those cliche settings where it all looks medieval but there's lots of hi-tech technology.
Plot: It is a war. What kind of war? Is it civil war? A war of the whole world? Or simply a war between two factions who seemingly hate each other over something easily preventable? No, it is a losing war. There is a supreme high being who rules...the world, basically. He wins the people with his manipulative powers. In every picture he is shown as a superior god who has come from the heavens to bless the people with peace and integrity. In fact, he has already ended a war that had happened before, strengthened the entire world's economy, and even solved world hunger. Poverty is at a minimum. What else could this man do? He even looked rather handsome...cute even, to some obsessive fangirls of the world. He was perfect.
At least, that's what he appeared as.
A scandal was happening so deep within the government's stack of scandals that it was seemingly nearly impossible to find out such an incredibly well-hidden secret. The great leader of the world had a little hatred in his body. He hated a group of people with such powerful emotion that the only reason he used his great intellect and communicative skills was to rid of these people. While he was happy of the things he had done for the people, it was not his prime goal. These people are commonly called redheads, but he called them "the smoke that pollutes this world". It was the one thing keeping the world from perfection in his eyes.
So there is a war, one the redheads are currently losing. They were already endangered enough to begin with. The great leader, after years of trust from his people, began his plan. He created a propaganda, and used it to discriminate against the redheads. He told the people the only reason they still had sadness in their lives were because of them. His great manipulative skills easily won the people to his side, and the fact that he had done such great things before easily backed him up.
Millions of redheads were being killed. However, the leader knew that killing just any random redhead was not going to work. First, instead of killing elderly, he commanded the army to kill the youth. The younger the better. That way the redheads would have no future, even if they did manage to survive their hell. Children were easy targets. Defenseless and naive. Would they even have the knowledge that a bunch of their kind were being slain at this very moment? Not a clue.
Of course, the majority of redheads are oblivious to the fact that the leader is targeting children. In fact even the rest of the people don't even know. He covered it up very well. That was why the redheads did not attempt to defend children even more so than before, for they thought all was at equal risk. Of course, some did notice, but the tragedies of war had disrupted their ability to communicate with others, and so information regarding the truth never really spread far.
There were some people, not redheads, who saw through the leaders ways, and secretly rebelled by helping some redheads out. Though almost all of them were more concerned of their own skins than the redheads, so very few did anything too risky.
This story follows a certain redheaded family, otherwise known as the Ivanov's. The main character? Reno. (Reno is always the main character in ANYTHING. RAWR!!!) He is the eldest of Tala Ivanov's children. He has three cousins and an uncle, who are the father of the cousins. He has a younger brother, Lavi, and an even younger sister, Kazumi. While Lavi annoys him to hell, and Kazumi is either too quiet or too loud (in the case of crying), Reno still had a sibling-love feeling within him, to make sure they stayed safe. He knew all about the war, and Lavi understood a bit. Kazumi was too young to understand what ever the hell was going on. Lavi loves his uncle a great deal more than the rest of his siblings, perhaps because Axel (the uncle) influences him greatly. Their cousins are their seniors. The eldest are actually twins, Asch being the one who came first. Asch has a considerable resemblance with Axel, while Luke, the younger of the twins was identical with Asch, he chose to keep his hair short. Then there is Fafal, the youngest of that group. She is still older than Reno by a bit, however.
Anyway, the family find out after it's way too late that the leader's army were targeting children. (YAY HERE'S SOME EMONESS!) They had thought they found refuge in a small village in the middle of nowhere, with a few number of other redheads. While Tala, who is very smart and intelligent, knew enough that the family should stay with each other just in case. Of course children are always rebels to their parents, and Lavi was the first to run off trying to play with some horses he saw. Lavi loves horses. (lololol) Reno angrily followed him, trying to catch him as he scold him of what their father said. Kazumi went ahead too because she didn't want to be alone outside the pub. (Everybody else was drinking. Fafal was conveniently using the washroom to powder her nose or something.)
Yeah, I don't why anyone would powder their nose in the middle of a war. WHO CARES. XD
So anyway, the children wandered off. And suddenly the village is discovered by the government army, and they ransack the whole place, burning it down. They first search for children, but kill anyone in their way, including redheads. Finally, they track down both Lavi and Kazumi, who were a little farther away from Reno. Want to know what happened? SEE THE FANART ABOVE. XP Of course, the army aren't smart and try to kill them quickly or something. No, they have learned from the manipulation of the leader how "evil" redheads were, that a quick death was something they certainly did not deserve. And as they say, "the younger, the better...to kill."
So that's why Kazumi looks worse than Lavi in that picture. If you want details, just dial 1800-Imasadist now! We are not responsible for any possible arrests you may receive regarding child abuse.
But really, all that happened was they had a few knives and guns, and decided to have some practice with their guns, the children were targets. Then they decided to gauge some important vitals off, luckily they didn't do anything else after they went for Lavi's eye. Afterwards they dumped gasoline all over the place, and set it on fire. The gasoline was on Kazumi. Once again we are not responsible...
AND THEN RENO APPEARS. Stupid idiot Reno, came a little late, did he not?
Reno is like, super enraged, as the main character should be. And attempts to like, fight the big people, but the big people were too strong for poor little Reno. The big people were about to finish their job on him, until Tala came out of nowhere on his MAGNIFICENT HORS--WOLF! And SAVED THE DAY! Well, kind of. He grabs the terribly shocked Reno, and the unconscious unimportant other two (FOR NOW, >>;) and rides off with them to escape. Axel, Fafal, Luke, and Asch have already boarded a small boat, with Asch steering. (Asch is the SUPER EXCELLENT PROFICIENT PILOT OF THIS STORY. He will be able to drive ANYTHING!) Tala magnificently manages to get on the boat JUST BEFORE it was too far to get on, and brought the poor little traumatized/dead children. Okay, they're not dead.
I have thought further than this, like saving the children's lives but they're scarred forever (mentally and physically, lololol), and Reno blaming himself because he's the kind big brother but cliche in the way of being annoyed by his siblings. Fafal also is very important to the story later on. I have not figured out anything for Luke and Asch yet, but something will come. I mean everybody needs their spotlight! Plus I give the explanation of how everybody can lift a weapon and defend themselves except Kazumi (because you know, everybody DOES fight in some way in their canon media EXCEPT Kazumi? O.x) Lavi learns the art of smashing things and how to not walk into poles because of his lack of depth perception. Reno gets so angry at the people for hurting his siblings, that he chooses a very torturous weapon to fight.
Yeah, I doubt I can turn this into a comic. Probably something WAY more light-hearted than this. It was just an EMO MOMENT! XP
That is all, continue on with your lives.
OMFG, KAZUMI IS CAPABLE OF REACHING SUPER SAIYAN AND EVEN SUPER SAIYAN 2!
However, her hair remains red. Probably because girls don't want to turn into dumb blondes...(lol, no offence, XD)
I realized this after watching a hilarious AMV of Kazumi and Sayo (the person has done the same format AMV on like every character, XD)
Alright, first off, this is NORMAL KAZUMI:

Notice how her hair is NOT spiky. Nope, NOT spiky whatsoever.
This is Kazumi turning into a gigantic ape-monkey thing (saiyans do that...)

Of course, because she is a girl, and girls do NOT turn into giant ugly ape things, she turns into a chocobo.
Chocobo >>>> Apes.
Now, you may be asking, "BUT WTF, SAIYANS HAVE MONKEY TAILS TO TURN INTO GIANT APE THINGS! WHY DOESN'T KAZUMI HAVE A CHOCOBO TAIL, THEN, HUH!?!?"
Ah, but of course the only tail you ever see on a girl is a cat or dog's or fox's tail, etc. BUT, I do have evidence that Kazumi would've turned into a chocobo with some CHOCOBO THINGS:

AHA! NORMAL KAZUMI WITH A CHOCOBO ON HER APRON! And aprons tend to be associated with females, so of course it makes more sense than a smelly tail.
(Yes I realize she is actually a canary, but who cares. Chocobos are bigger and cause more damage, XD)
And here is SUPER SAIYAN ONE KAZUMI! AMAZING FOR HER TO ACHIEVE SUCH A FEAT!!!

Look at that! Her hair is NOW SPIKY! And the even MORE amazing thing is she is able to stay in this form for as LONG AS SHE WANTS! She is a powerful saiyan indeed! But Kazumi can do even MORE THAN THAT!!!
She can reach the NEXT LEVEL, SUPER SAIYAN TWO!!!
LOOKIT!

Her hair is EVEN spikier! It goes UP moar! And now you are asking...where is the electricity that surrounds her? For that is the sign of a Super Saiyan TWO! Well, you see, girls are very sensitive people. Lightning could BREAK THEIR NAILS or something. For a girl, a sign that they have grown in power is their breasts. LOOK HOW LARGE IT HAS GOTTEN!!! Notice how it gets LARGER throughout each FORM besides the chocobo, OBVIOUSLY!
And thus this is evidence that Kazumi can achieve SUPER SAIYAN FORMS and is probably a SAIYAN!! She should "fuse" with Sayo. If you know what I mean. ;)
And that is Spotto's wondrous discovery. Yes, that was sexist, but whatever. XD
I'm a little bored if you haven't noticed. XP
