Fakir looks like he's in an epic. That pose and drawing style, its really cool.

Love the texture, pose, design and expression. Great design and approach to make it feel like a ukiyo-e.

I kinda want to perfect it, but I'm lazy. I still want to believe I'm a dabbling writer before I'm a dabbling artist. Meh.
(Also, I would love to possess Fakir's costume, because hakama are nice and breezy!

You're writing skills are amazing, but don't discredit your drawing skills. They're amazing, too, in my opinion.
(It also looks comfortable

This is awesome!
And "fakir" means "poor" in Turkish!
Haha, I'm really starting to thinking about you know Turkish

Nope, don't know a single wordof Turkish, but it's funny how similar sounds mean entirely different things across cultures. Given the Persian influence in Turkey, and that since "fakir" were often very poor as an element of their ascetic discipline, it would might follow that hundreds of years down the line, the borrowed word would be related to the origin.

Unfortunately, for it to work, Fakir's going to have to be a LOT more mature, and less of a jerk-ass from the get-go... and I don't like writing characters OOC.

ha, jerk-ass...
No pressure, sweetie. Those MaixJet bunnies are running in your brain like crazy so get those happy first. You can always tend to the masses later. 83. *is patiently waiting for MaixJet plot bunnies*

I would heart you forever if you wrote the whole fic. In fact, I'll heart you forever just for the poem glimpse you gave us with the first entry. These just look so cool. I love Ahiru's kimono especially, sooo pretty. And Fahkir's pose kicks butt.

... and I really want tooooooo, but I want to keep it a short fairytale, and I don't wanna write it in iambic pentameter, I suck at it and baaawwwwwwww~!
*is thwapped* Eee! Heh, I dunno, I might, one day. My muse is one capricious, sadistic little so-and-so.

I really like it! the pose of the character, his clothes, all details... it's super beautiful ^^

I'm just happy that i could get away with such a simple outfit (compared to Ahiru/Tsuru-hime).

That's really cool~ Ya know, I bet a *lot* of people would want you to actually write a fic (or even a oneshot based off of your doodly ma bob with Princess "Tutu" and "Fakir"~ 
Honestly, though, you don't have to write if you don't want to~ You've already given us this two gorgeious images~ 8D
I'd want to read it...

Ack, and muse is suddenly interested! no, stop that, I have a project in another fandom I want to work on! *flees muse:

'Skay I get how muses work. X3 Would you mind if other people worked on it...? (*Is not promising anything~ Also has plunnies that need to be fed~*)

holy crud, please do! *throws plot bunny* Link me when you get it done!

Alright~ It'll probably only be a oneshot, though. So I get that Ahiru is Tsuru-Hime, Fakir is Shūgyō and Kraehe is Karasu-Hime, but is there anythign else I should know?

I call Mytho the "Heartless Prince" written 心無し王子 [こころなしおうじ] - Kokoro-nashi-Ouji which literally means "Prince without a Heart/Soul," not so much a cruel prince. I'm about 98% sure those are correct kanji (order).
Can't wait to see what you do with it!
