Description An Ares Tegaki a day equals quite a few art dumps. Seriously, go read it now please? I have full volume downloads uploaded on my LiveJournal too, if onemanga's too much of a hassle (just ask!) The art's a little raw in the first two volumes, but after that it's simply GORGEOUS. X3

On the left, Baruna. Smoking. Which is bad for you, really. Tried rendering him in my normal style for once, since I usually emulate the original manwha design when drawing him. Decided that no, he looks too much like a really pretty Yamamoto (from KHR), so will probably never try this again.

On the right, Cygnus. Who is a freaking ballerina. Only, not really. He does however, fight beautifully and I simply can't do him justice. That background totally destroyed me too. OTL

Scrapping in a week.

I think you've made Cygnus justice ^^

This is really good xD. It's fantastic to see some Ares fanart xD especially of Baruna
I'm so happy that I read it again xD Totally addicted now xP. Sadly i can't draw, so it's great to see some one who really can make some fan art of them xD

Hahaha, thanks! X3 I think I have a pretty good grasp on Baruna only because of blatant favoritism. Cygnus was an attempt at breaking out of that bad habit. XD" ... does that make me a bad person in that I forgive Mikael for anything on the basis of just being an awesomely dynamic character? OTL OTL OTL

Pff he just gives you an excuse to do terrible things to Ares and Baruna XD. I was praying that he would recruit Cygnus instead but noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! orz Besides that, I still love/hate him (although I'm not gonna even attempt to draw him). OTL

... Lol, he DOES look like a prettified version of Yamamoto. XDD
It's still good though.~ The background for Cygnus is quite... busy. O_O

LOL. He does, doesn't he? The fallacies of being influenced heavily by Amano, sigh.

I love how the background for Cygnus turned out. And actually, it's quite therapeutic to look at until I remember just how much I hated it while drawing it. Then I have to look away. XDDD"

I've definitely been making my way through this series, spurred on by art posts by you. And I believe your love for Baruna is totally rubbing off on me. Love seeing art from this series! Wonderful work, as always.

I've gotten through to just about past chapter 50, though I'm going on a reading binge now that I dont' have to go to class anymore. It's seriously addicting. With such interesting characters.

T3T Thank you! That background on Cygnus was supposed to be therapeutic. Only. It. Isn't. Not with the amount of time spent on it lol. XD"
