Madison basic colors



Here's Madison from Cardcaptors. Check it out larger here. I really like the series. I have fond memories of it and nearly every time I go to a Half Price Books I look for the manga. My collection is small but growing!
Yes, I've drawn Tomoyo (called Madison in the English version), but I think Toya is my favourite character. Growing up it used to be Yuki (Yukito/Julian), but as I grew older in my periodic returns to the series I really began to respect and love how great of an older brother Toya is.
I love how much he loves Sakura, especially in his encounter with The Mirror. That story is probably the one within the series that sticks out most to me, just because pain can't keep Toya from his sister.
I also like the underlying romantic implications Clamp is great at slipping in to their stories, the relationship between Yuki and Toya being no exception.
Anyway, yeah so here's Tomoyo, a great best friend to Sakura, super cute, super creative, loyal, ect. A bunch of the attributes that the best of friends should have.

Life Is Suffering

 
"Wise men say
Life is Suffering.
I'm living proof that this ain't right.
Everyday
becomes my favourite day.
It proves to me


that I'm alive."

Comic Boy


Went to the comic book shop today looking for some very specific issues, and I was incredibly happy with the visit.
The young man working was so handsome, and of course helpful. He found Batman and Robin #10 in the back and brought it out for me. Just what I was looking for!
Guy looked like a cross between Avan Jogia and Johnny Depp.
I'd never been to this store before for my comics but I'm compelled to go back now...

80s Hair

Random chick with crazay hair. Drew her in a NGE plug suit kind of thing, though I'm not sure that I consider her an OC or anything like that.
As usual, see it larger here.
