Artist's Comments

See?! I still know how to draw! Take that, SoRa!

Alright. There is SO much to say about this one--what I love, what I HATE because it is SO BAD--but I'm going to leave it be. Please don't mention the failed proportions. >.> I am already aware of them. (Although I will say: CHOSHA'S MASK IS MY FAVORITEST EVAHHHHHH.)

Quick things: Khazia's mask is colored wrong because I was so excited about my new pens I forgot to pay attention; all their ANBU tattoos are on the wrong shoulders; that's not what ZuZu's mask actually looks like; Khaz's hair is made up of five different colors and STILL the wrong hue. -rolls eyes- Whatever.

Special, HUGE special thanks to Khazia. Not only has she done the most drawings of Squad 13--giving me ideas for outfits and colors, as well as the masks, which (the ones she's done) I almost totally copied from her--but she also made the most amazing Flameheart video in existence. [link] I listened to it almost NON STOP while working on this picture--and I spent probably more than thirty hours on this. (I lost count around thirteen. XD) I only watched it a few times, but every time it finished, I would switch tabs to play it again. I practically have it memorized. ;p

And thank you so much to all the girls, to Ruro for creating Flameheart and to the entire squad, and to everyone who's ever read, loved, and supported this series. <3

[You can't really see it, but there IS some grass...]

I know Ameko's not part of the squad, but I couldn't resist... I'm sorry. ^^;


And... it's still New Year's Day. So happy New Year, Squad 13. :)

My S13 progress is astounding. o=

lol, *bursts into giggles* You weren't kidding when you said the eyes were different. X3

Meko-chan:

You. Did. Awesome.

All the different poses and little things some of them have in their hands (I say little, but those two swords are anything but small.) Their outfits are cute and you're getting so good! Han looks so adorable, and i want nothing more than to snag him and keep him for myself.

And yay! You used posemaniacs! It's such a neat website, isn't it?

Happy new year to you too!

First comment. Oh yeah, that's right. *does a little dance*

This is what happens when AR stays up around midnight for the...i don't know how many nights in a row. Except the previous nights have gone way past twelve a.m. ^^;

XDDDD I know, right? XDDD

Thank you so much. :) I'm really proud of how it turned out, considering all the time I spent on it. (I gave up playing Wii with my brother to finish it before New Year's Day ended! XD) I mean, sure, it's got its problems, but... This time, I don't really care. ;p So I'm glad you like it. <3

Yes! I use it all the time now, I love it. :D

I have to know! Who's your favorite? ;p

What Wii game were you playing?

I have to know; have you clicked the link called 'widgets'?
And i just noticed. The Big Book of Manga? O.o Is it really thick and kinda-square rather than rectangle, and does it have a sort of goth lolita girl on the cover?

Mmmmm....Chosha. I like her posing and her mask the best.

Well, he was playing Mario Kart and wanted to race with me. :D

Erm, I don't think so, not yet. ;p
Yes, except mine doesn't have a goth lolita girl on the cover, but a kunoichi... the one I used for Khaz's pose, actually. :D

Yaaaay. Her mask is my favoritest evahh. XD

Don't. If i'm not mistaken, the first click for that one's a doozy. It's good in that it's got hands and feet in various computer generated positions--they're grey and have the wierd planes on them to show for it--that you can turn to any angle or zoom in and out, and there's also a guy's head, so it's actually kind of useful. But the first time you open it is quite a doozy, because the first picture that comes up is a CG male torso.

Ah. Mine's got this freaky goth-lolita girl with little black wings and a teddy-bear in her hands.

Hee hee.

So don't ever do it, because it's not worth the first picture, or it is worth it, just be warned the first time? :D

Aww, that sounds awesome. :D XD

AmaaaAAAAaaaaAAAaaaaAAAAaaAAaAAaAaaazing! :D
Promise not to ever stop drawing, you're improving so much so quickly :) I love this
There's a few bits in terms of proportions that are a little off, but really, this is brilliant :D the layout and poses and colours are gorgeous.
It looks like a lotta hard work went into this, and the result is well worth it :D
