Description Have you ever heard this singe before? [link]

The first time I heard it, I instantly thought of Koji, and how it is a perfect match for him. Lyrics and mood are a perfect match. ^__^

He is the bringer of water, after all, he mastered control of the element... but like the sign, he isn't really a water sign. Many people forget that Aquarius is an air sign... that is why in the background (if you can make it out, you see clouds in the sky. I could go on and on about this... but I think I'll save more details for the colored version... I really hope to get done soon.


Drawn with my beloved bic pens again... For those of you who are wondering, here are a few bic pen art tips.

1. keep a piece of scrap paper handy... so every time the pen starts to get too inky (in danger of a blob of dark ending up where you don't want it) wipe the excess off on the scrap paper. This way you always have fin lines to work with.

2. for fine lines, hod the pen as straight up and down as you can... especially with bic... otherwise you get a lot of unwanted speckle smear edges around your fine lines.

3. do the rough sketch on a different page, and then trace the detailed work with the pen on the final page... this way you have no erase marks... and erasers tend to smear bic pens.

Update: Yay, I got it colored!

My friend told me more on the signs. And you have it right, Aquarius is an air sign but can control water. Aquarius is very free spirited and love to help people. They are a people pleaser and just want to make people happy. Um trying to remember more but that's all I can think of for now. You should do Capricorn next. That's me! Capricorns are a superior sign, bringing in the winter solstice.

NatureNerd02 In reply to manic-goose [2011-07-13 21:30:40 +0000 UTC]

Capricorn in an earth sign, and rules the planet of Saturn. The constellation is basically a goat fish, first half of the body a goat and the bottom half a fish tail.Um trying to think personality wise but the sites I'm looking at suck.

Hmmm Well I really don't know much about astrology signs. All I know is that I'm a capricorn...geminis are bipolar, and Aeries are wild and crazy, also that scorpios think they are all that and a bag o chips. :shrugs: Somethings that is calm, cool, and collective, but can be ruthless when provoked. I hope that helps.

Me either... really, I know I am Ares and that my Moon sign is Leo, and that sun signs (in my case Ares) are how we appear to the world, and Moon signs are how we are from within. I have a friend who is really into it, but I haven't talked to her in a while

Well, I want people to feel free to color it... I'm not saying I don't want people to color it... I'm just assuming that most people might not want to because it is a confusing set of lines.

if you are in the early stages it will seem easy, but it's once you get down to the last few months when you are really pushing to get things done specially if you are doing alot of big things is when it will become more hectic
