Artist's Comments

Last year, on the yearbook committee during Gr. 10, I was assigned to design the "divider" pages in our high school yearbook :D. To my delight, I was *encouraged* to do it anime-style ^_^ And so, I drew about 5 divider pages as well as all of the grade "header" pictures. These artworks were printed in over 1700+ yearbooks in 2003 :D! My artwork was technically published for hundreds of people to own ^_^. It was one of my proudest artistic accomplishments! Many of my fellow students recognized me the following year. Some kids I never met before somehow recognized me as "the girl who drew the pictures in the yearbook". Even kids I met in other schools who had siblings in my school knew of my art. I was impressed with how my far my humble anime-style artwork reached out to the local community.

Unfortunately, I quit Yearbook the year after because the workload was too much for me. However, if I get along with the Yearbook staff members this year, I may negotiate drawing for them again :D.

----------------

This page served as the divider/cover page to the classic yearbook mug shots section ^_^. This divider was considered a favourite from many students I talked to, mainly because they loved the variety of things to look at in this picture, and the creativity of it. Admittedly, it is one of my favourite pieces I did for the yearbook. It probably took the longest to do as well! But I just loved getting to bring the mug shots to life, and trying to capture the diverse personality of so many students through the characters in the mug shots :D. It was fun, though I would never want to draw it again, lol ^_^!

Anime Cameo Appearances on this Page:

- Seita Soujiro from Rurouni Kenshin (3rd row from top, left-hand side of the right page)
- Oro eyes from Rurouni Kenshin (guy getting hit by airplane, LOL)
- Kiley from Peach Girl (last column on the right, 4th row)

Hope you like it! ^_^

Peace. Love. Anime.

Like the hedgehog, I feel I cannot become close to anyone without being hurt with the disappointment of rejection and hatred.

Very nice indeed. All of the individual expressions just make this great, as well as the fact that some of them are climbing out of the pages. Very creative. Great work meh dear! =)

Grrr, I just erased my whole comment! I'm still such a newbie!

I can't believe this doesn't have more comments- it's great! All the different pictures are so unique and the whole piece so involved. I especially love the girl under the finger and the girl getting hugged. This truly deserves to be saved for posterity in your yearbook. :+fav: !
:iconkaliko-rosa:
Thaks for the comment :D. Your favourites are some of mine in the picture too ^_^. But oro, "saved for posterity"... I'm clueless as to what that one means. I seriously need to install some kinda vocab builder program thing, XD. Well, I'm sure it means something nice, so thank you! :hug:

Haha, it means that you'll be remembered by your classmates for doing the pictures! I did a mural with my friend at our school but they didn't put my name under the picture of the mural. I was very disappointed. :(

Agh, that must have sucked! >>;; I would never let my school get away with that..... but you know, you shouldn't just get to write your name underneath it, they should like engrave your names on a plaque.. murals are hard work! I had to do two before, and they're fun but not so fun at the same time, lol. Well, hopefully somewhere around there they have credit to you and your friend!

If this one is looking at the rigth picture, this one thinks Soujiro looks more like Harry Potter.
