#boueibu #akoya gero #gero akoya #my art #my comic #akoya my darling my heart my soul i have given you seven years of my life and you have made me who i am #btw i know this invites art style comparison but i would prefer not to receive comments about how my art has changed ;; thank you #my art is an expression of myself and older art to me is like a representation or memory of how i was then #like looking at a photo of my younger self #and for me personally i prefer not to compare myself to my earlier or future versions #but to just kind of smile at myself back then and remember how things were #also my decision to no longer draw the default student council uniforms has added so much extra workload OTL #bc now i have to figure out how i want to dress them every time akvhshdfhd i apologize for my lack of on-the-fly fashion sense cries .. #im sitting here like does his shirt look ok ???? i know it kinda looks like a hawaiian shirt in the couple close-up panels OTLLLL #the shirt it's based on is gray but i thought it looked too drab (and when i tried making it blue or purple.. idk his jeans are already blue #and i wanted it to have a brighter feeling so... yellow .... bc i get the sense from official art that akoya does like wearing light yellow #even though it might be kind of a questionable choice LKVJKGH) #anyway long story short im not sure about it but i dont feel like changing the color!! #AAAAAGH ok i sat here trying to change it but bc i flattened the layers it's too difficult to change the last panel ;;;; #i think i might like it better as light pink or white or purple but the last panel is just too much work to recolor ;;;; OTL;;;; #i am AGONIZING over the color of his shirt BYE #ok.. i made it light pink and now im just like 'the lighting in the last panel makes it look yellow' #nvm i just made it lighter yellow ..and now its difficult to tell apart from his skin tone in the close up panels o h well #no actually i changed it back again. SCREAMS #i chose yellow bc it's a bright happy feeling color and when i switch to something else it feels more subdued ;; #ok sorry im just going like sleeping beauty's dress on this (*edits* pink! *edits* yellow! *edits* pink! *edits* yellow!!)
