Coagulation of Haima Volume 1 Cover

My first submission to Sheezy, I never really thought I'd be here honestly.

---

For the past few years I was turning over the idea of starting an online manga. Everytime I shot it down with "I'm not good enough" yadda yadda yadda. And now I've come to realize...what is good enough? We all have our own styles, so who can truly tell us to an extent what is and isn't good enough?

And so I am starting one. I'm still gonna work on YY and do all my normal stuff...and it's not like it's an "UPDATE EVERY FRIDAY HOMMIGAWD" thing. I'll just do it whenever I feel like it. Mmyes.

Anyways! I drawing concept sketches of Ami [since "Ami" is merely my online persona, I will not refer to him as myself directly...well, when speaking of CoH]. The cover has a meaning, but I r not gonna explain it to you hoez! >8D Ami went from a female to male, it's much easier that way and it makes a lot more sense, man! D:

So then it turned into a sketch I really liked and I had originally planned for Ami to appear on Volume 1's cover...so I was like "8D.....ehehe!". I tried to capture my actual hair color, because even though my hair is "red", it's not actually RED. So I tried for a ginger-orange. I like it but I think I got it wrong. And yes, I know the hair is supposed to be short, but it was even longer than that before I cut it. >8DDD

In the back is wife's online persona, Banna. I suggested dark red for teh hair : D
