Spirit of Early Education from Mainichi Kaasan, Mom's Life! XD

Hive · 10-06-2009, 02:47 AM

ack..
i just now saw this!

I love it, of course ^^
Cute and creepy all rolled into one!

What's the story behind this particular 'Mainichi Kaasan' character?

And better yet, what's the story behind your motivation to actually draw this character? lol

He is the spirit that comes when the mom is having trouble teaching her children xD He basically bugs her or taunts her haha

I drew him because he sings every time he comes. Not much excuse other than he's just weird LOL

merit · 10-13-2009, 08:48 PM

I was watching it today and felt like colouring in a sketch.

Ah, so that's where your avatar came from. For some reason I picture as soon as Merit posted that, you jumping towards it and grabbing it screaming "Avatar Get!!!", just my over active imagination at work I guess. ^_-

And Merit's artwork never ceases to floor me. Love your new stuff. Nice take on Cinderella too!

I bought the Medium size and it is much more comfortable than my tiny old Graphire 2 model :)

Hive · 02-04-2010, 11:58 AM

PeeChan, are you looking into buying one of those?
I know you love to draw scary BLACK DRAGONZz!!@

Thanks Hive, I forgot it... =P

merit · 02-22-2010, 12:57 AM

"Turnip" comics was started at random many many years ago while I was still studying and now it has relaunched itself as Strawberry Turnip. I'm not quite sure how to describe it other than "a sort-of biography with people that look like turnips" ... something like that. Most of it is based on true life events but some can be totally random, and make no sense whatsoever. That is just the life of Turnip people.

The original series was done in a sketchbook by brush and ink. It contained all of the original mistakes too XD That was what made that one great. The new version actually has a size format and is completely digital--no ink blob mistakes with no running commentary about how ink blobs came to be.

And so.. here we have number one.

merit · 02-22-2010, 01:01 AM

Since I've put #2 on DA I might as well put it here as well! We've not finished a website for it yet so this is how it has to be~

Our family gathered together for the Lunar New Year at Prax's house. Emma was feeling sick and I was feeling drowsy so we slept in Prax's bed. All the while we were sleeping, Prax and her boyfriend Brady were playing with the billions of kids this family has. I kept teasing her that they were going to have at least 5 kids.

Her reason for playing with them? So that it is easier to manipulate the youngins into doing whatever she wanted later in life! XD How cunning!

Hive · 02-22-2010, 01:02 AM

me likey!!

edit: (you can erase this post if you were planning on sequentially getting these up)

edit2: also; get ready for some criticism thrown your way. XD

Anyways, web comics are always a fun idea.

Are you putting in the explanations underneath for the website as well?
Because I'm thinking none of these will be funny to anyone but friends and family, unless there's some background.

merit · 02-22-2010, 01:20 AM

@Hive: Yes there will always be explanations with the comics since they are almost journalesque. These aren't really meant to be anything in particular since they're just little recaps of life or randomness. Just enjoy the pictures lol

I just uploaded Monday's up on DA. Here you go.

I got into Warcraft 3 at the end of '09 and started off playing on the Night Elf team. I picked them since I like elves and I wanted to hear a female leader's voice --Their buildings were also pretty and the wisps were cute...

Anyway later on I got bored of the elves as my other girl friends liked to play them too. I thought it would be nice to have diversity within our group since each race does different things. I ended up playing the Undead for a while and one day decided to go back to the elves for some fun.. well I proved to have goldfish memory and couldn't even remember what to do with a mine -_-;;

Please model one of your comics off of our MSN/Skype "convos."
Ya know--the ones where you're trying to blow me off? XD

I actually had alarms set up for harvesting in Farmville. My sister Miyako found this quite.. disturbing. I also wake her up with my constant mouse clicking when I stay over at my parents' for the weekend xD

pchannn · 02-23-2010, 10:27 AM

LOLLL

merit · 02-23-2010, 12:40 PM

L from that Death Note show.. I'm just picking whatever I feel like drawing out in Turnip XD .. I also did not get past episode 2 or something of this show lalalalalala.

you didn't miss much :p
The manga is a lot more to my liking, especially volumes 1-6.
