Description You guys remember that my second wacom tablet was of a nameless character that I made? Well, his name is Motoko. same name as Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell. That is for Kiara. A wonderful, amazing person that I met, that reminds me of someone I had forgotten to care about - myself. Talking to her is like talking to a copy of myself, which is very calming to me, and she's also a very good artist. Perhaps I can make her join DA so you can see her AMAZING art! She's an extremely inspirational ghost in the shell fan-artist. So, for her and ~bows down in respect for this wonderful new friend! ~

I dig the style! Very unconventional, but super good.

Really good detail for the Motoko that I first came to know.

Wow, back in '95/'96, been while, but I still love the film.

And I'm loving this detailed artwork, goodjob, . .

I like this one. Motoko has a bit more of a realistic look to her than in a lot of fanart, and the sketchy feel adds a lot of character.

Marto In reply to binka4wing [2005-03-14 05:34:31 +0000 UTC]

Oh what's new...lets see...being stalked by 17 year old girls at my school, my shonen-ai fanship growing like a mushroon in rain, me finally growing out a goatee, or having to deal with art college this summer? take your pick! Naw just kidding...even though all those things are things going on at once! ~rubs goatee~ Well, pretty much taht's about all...I finally ended up dealing with the "mocking" of the underclassmen" even though I'm one, I don't get along well with them, so seniors are my only hope along with juniors...>_>' Stupid freshmen....~just like in old times, gives you one for torture purposes~

And you? how's life been treating you?

binka4wing In reply to Marto [2005-03-14 05:46:01 +0000 UTC]

Life's been treating me really well, surprisingly.

I've landed myself quite a well-paying job, a great boyfriend, good prospects for the year, and lots of really cool friends in the states who I'll probably know all my life.

...so why are 17 year old girls stalking you? O_o;;;

Marto In reply to binka4wing [2005-03-14 05:57:46 +0000 UTC]

Congratulations on the job and the boyfriend! ^_^

About the girls stalking me...odd story..due to the fact that I never form relations with the freshmen classes like I should, I always end up being with the seniors and juniors like I mentioned. and they're usually about 17 or 18. So that's about the age 'variety' (I suppose you could call it that) that I befriend, and those are the people that know me, so pretty much the age I'm around is the one that likes me. ~even though I admit it gives me the chills sometimes~

But at least you have someone you like back. I know how important and comforting it can be to have someone you really care about be there for you. Personally I lack that due to the fact that with my 'prefferences' I'm looking for a girl that can think. And i guess as my friend put it while I was in Bulgaria ' Martin, you're like a young adult. You think like one, but you're stuck as a fifteen year old. Don't try to find someone you can love right now, because people your age just don't see things the way you do.' Wasn't the most conforting thing to hear, but most deffinately something I follow.

Why, thank you very very much! I appreciate the comment! I was aiming for a style that I admire dearly from an amazing movie called 'Ghost in the Shell'. And the picture was done in blue because I love the way that drawings look when done in one blue.
