Description

TRANSLATIONS FOR THOSE OF YOU CAN'T READ JAPANESE:
1st Frame
Issun: Let's go on a date. *bow*
2nd Frame
Cindy: Okay. Let's go.
Issun: Ahhh~ <3
Cindy: I'm leaving now, mom.
Cindy's Mom: That guy is so strange... He's always speaking so politely... (Or, literally, always speaking in "Keigo", which is how you talk to people who have a higher social/economical status than you. As a result, it's kinda hard to translate.)
3rd Frame
Issun: So, where were you wanting to go, Cindy-sama?
Cindy: You haven't decided yet, Issun?
4th Frame
Issun: EH?! I was supposed to decide?!
Cindy: Well, yeah... You're the guy, so...
5th Frame
Issun: I'M SOOOO SORRY! I'M THE WORST BOYFRIEND EVER!
Cindy: No, no, it's okay!
6th Frame
Cindy: There's a restaurant over there...
Sign: Restaurant.
Issun: But I don't have any money.
7th Frame
Cindy: Really?
Issun: I should have brought some...
8th Frame
At a Department Store...
Door Lady: Welcome to our store! (The phrase is "irrashaimase", which I'm told literally translates into something like "thank you for considering to buy stuff at our store", but, again, super politely. You cannot go to any store in Japan without hearing this as soon as you walk in the door.)
9th Frame
Issun: So, what were you wanting to buy?
Cindy: A new boyfriend, for starters.
10th Frame
Issun: Cindy-sama's angry.
Cindy: This date was a mistake...
11th Frame
Cindy: Eh?
12th Frame
Cindy: These clothes are really cute... And they're cheap too...
13th Frame
ObsidianSickle Cameo: That'll be $9.00.
Issun: CINDY-SAMA!
14th Frame
Issun: I'm so, super sorry for the terrible date!
15th Frame
Cindy: No~ It was fun!
*smooch*

I've been kind of feeling bad since I haven't been working on anything I can show DA yet...
So I thought I'd post this comic.
I made it to practice "Keigo", the super polite form in Japanese.
You may recognize these characters from previous pictures of mine (this: cherry-sama.deviantart.com/art… and this: cherry-sama.deviantart.com/art… ) but they don't show up in my gallery as much as I would like them too.
I think one of the main reasons for this is...Cindy's hair is really hard to get the look right unless I do it by hand.
Which wouldn't be a problem...if I used my tablet more often.
Honestly, Cindy's hair works best in ink and mechanical pencil.
But apart from that...I have no idea how to make her look right in colour.
:hmm:

Maybe I'll greytone this later.
Maybe.

I hope to show you stuff I've been working on behind the scenes soon.
>.<
