Thanks a lot! ~ My original work Dragon's Charm obviously has dragons in it, but at the moment I only have a humanoid/dragon hybrid sketch up (it looks kind of like Disney's Gargoyles, not as much animal as human).

jalachan In reply to Azukari-5 [2011-12-29 05:13:38 +0000 UTC]

Haha, yes, this was first a pencil drawing, then I inked it. I wanted to paint it but when I worked on it the lines got so complicated that I felt color would take away from the piece. Sometimes less is more.

Azukari-5 In reply to jalachan [2011-12-29 05:16:30 +0000 UTC]

jalachan In reply to Azukari-5 [2011-12-29 05:25:55 +0000 UTC]

I didn't live there, but I have probably 100+ friends who live there (both foreigners who live there such as Americans and French, as well as native Japanese people) and stayed there with friends.

jalachan In reply to Azukari-5 [2011-12-29 05:28:58 +0000 UTC]

It's very different! And Tokyo is pretty cold. There is no central heating or A/C and little to no insulation in the walls. Also, it's very windy and daylight hours are very short this time of year. Layer your clothes and bundle up, and always take a lot of yen with you for the vending machines so you can get hot drinks!

Azukari-5 In reply to jalachan [2011-12-29 05:35:32 +0000 UTC]
