Description How did this not get uploaded? I actually had this colored last week.

I did a bunch of pencil sketches off screenshots and action figures at the very beginning of this to get a sense of what the characters all looked like. I miss some of the random off the wall energy in those, so I'm going to try to do at least a few images as sketches and leave them sketches. This was sketched in ballpoint pen over... a while, I think, based on all that detail. I'd change a few details if I could, but half the challenge of ballpoint pen is working with no eraser.

Poor Ari spends his entire life getting bossed around, especially by women. First his little sister, then his love interest, the guy is never gonna get a break. I'm sure even apathetic little Ari must find it "too much" sometimes ^_~ I could have gone all out and put his mom, Rosalyn, Julia, Stan, and allll the other bossy characters... but there's something kind of nice about little Ari being dwarfed by who are probably going to be the two most important women in his life.

Light colors applied in painter.

The creepy , ( but also funny since it's about the girls being bossy ) , faces remind me of artwork and scenes from The Wall. o.O

Neat pic but I disagree that Ari is apathetic and these girls are that important to him. I'd love to go more into detail about why I feel this way but DA won't let me post long comments. *annoyed look at DA*

XD Poor Ari. Julia, Rosalyn (to a point- but a very short one. That's why I adore the idea of Rosalyn/Ari.<3 It would be a very interesting relationship, especially with stan in the middle...hee.)... Linda clings, even. The TOWNSPEOPLE even boss him around (mom and bread lady, anyone?). I think the only ones vaguely aware of him as a person would be Ros and his grandma.
...XD

I agree, sketches have a life to them all their own. I love the colors too - they're still rough enough to fit in with the lineart and they add a lot of emphasis (like with the little exclamation point - I love that).

Hahahahahahaha Oh sweet lord their faces XD I love the pink colors you chose to use as well. Usually they come off as more calm and sweet, but here's it's just this total sense of being overwhelmed. XD I love it!

That is insanely cute. <3 3 3 You have the undying appreciation of an Okage fan who doesn't see enough fanworks for it.

Hats off to you.
