Eri-Chan no RANT! This is the most bizarre manga-real hybrid I've ever drawn. I drew the hands, the facial structure, the hair, the blindfold... just about everything... before I realized that I had no clue how to draw a manga nose outside of partial profile. THis, in my opinion, was not good. After attempting several different anime-looking noses, I gave up and dug around in my closet for a hand mirror. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that is at least partially my nose on that page. Don't worry, though. I reserve my strangest, funkiest, least-characteristic art for the cover pages! THe normal comic style returns on Thursday. Ok, so I have some advice for all you ladies out there in tornado country. Read this well: THERE ARE MORE PURSE SNATCHINGS DURRING TORNADO TIME. POLICE OFFICERS DON'T GIVE YOU A SECOND LOOK BECAUSE THEY'RE BUSY TAKING CARE OF TORNADO PROBLEMS. End of warning. There's a long story behind that, but I don't feel like going into it. I hope you all had a great mother's day, and for all of you out there who graduated, CONGRATS! I love you all! -Eri-chan
