Description

EDIT: I re-scanned it and touched it up a bit, so it looks a little more true to life. The scanner still messed it up though. Hahaha It actually looks better when you don't zoom in. Weird huh?

Hey everyone! Long time no see. Anywho, this is Akeem and Akeela from my manga. This piece took me 2 days because I had to draw it and ink it twice because my brother spilled water on it, but I re-did it and I LOVE IT!!! What a joy to make. This is a scene from the story if y'all were wondering. I hope you'll like what you see. Oh and just if someone asks about Akeem's leg difference, here's an explanation I wrote to one of my friends: Oh, about the leg difference, that's because Akeem has what I have. It's Congenital Hip Displaysia. When I was born, to a mother who did a lot of drugs, like crack and stuff, my hips were out of line. My right leg bone isn't in the socket at all, instead it's above it. This little instance causes me physical pain sometimes and it gets hard to be lower-body active for long periods of time. It also causes me to walk with a limp and eventually, I'll have to get a hip replacement. Crazy huh?



Thank you all!!!

This is a very emotional piece. In a good way. The extreme contrast in the expressions really tells a story. I think it is quite cute.

This drawing is a lot of fun. I love the bright colors. You are very good with colors. The background splotches are a really neat touch. It isn't too busy but add something there that is needed. Nice job on the details on the couch.

My only suggestion on this is the composition. It feels a but too centered. If they were a little more off to the right, it might help with the balance issue. Other than that, it looks great!
