Akatsuki Birthday: Zetsu

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

No, it is not an Akatsuki member's birthday (as far as we know). This is just a sequel to Itachi's Birthday Comic, because kumiriko suggested. (bows) This one's about Zetsu. enjoy!

...Zetsu didn't like being teased about his choice of food.

If I can work fast enough, and not too much of Sasori's past is revealed in the book, I'll be trying to do Sasori next! (Yes, I'm coming back)

[EDIT] Minor alterations made to frame #5 and 9.

Yay you read the "Miracle Grow" (I had distorted it on purpose) and you gave me a heart for it, too! Thank you!

[genkigeeks.livejournal.com]

Yiiiiii~ Cute!Akatsuki is just so damn... CUTE! *squeal*

Loved that Itachi one from before, btw. Can't wait to see more! X3

[genkigeeks.livejournal.com]

And I just had to say, I love how you made Mr. Leader and the ??? Guys all transparent-like. XD (The first frame reminded me of the time Inane put Sharingan on Akatsuki Leader. o_O)

I'm still squealing over the 2nd and 7th (Mr. Leader and the anticipation of impending doom!) and last frame whee~ <3 Grouchy!Zetsu and Deidara following him around on the ceiling! X3 "Coming to dinner?" - AWW you need to make an Akatsuki Dinner pic!

[dead] I love it. ♥

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

Thanks for love and a heart!

[hidden-gems.livejournal.com]

Muahahahahaha...

I remembered the Itachi one.

Can't wait to get more.

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'll try to get working on the next one!
And your laughter is so funny. Kukukukuku.

I think the thing that gives me the mostest joy of all is Sir Leader's pose across the box; it is a true evil genius pose. ^^ :DDD (Excellent comic!)

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

Yes, smart-and-evil villains tend to use that pose, don't they? Very charismatic, or so I think. Thank you!

I take it that Miracle (which is a hard word to spell, btw) Grow upset poor Zetsu?? He'll get over it eventually... Because when he starts looking beautiful and sees no weeds around him, he should be happy *nods head*

love the frames!! ^^

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

(lol) The thing about Miracle-Gro present that upsets Zetsu is that, Zetsu's a cannibal, so fertilizer (or "plant food") is suggesting that he goes vegetarian. And he doesn't like that because lots of people already pick on him for cannibalism, and nobody likes being told what do to. It's complex.
Thanks!

This is an apt sequel to Itachi's birthday comic, it's hilarious and you're obviously artistically talented! Could you tell me though, how did you manage to accomplish this? Was most of it done manually with a mouse?! (This comes from a person with shaky mouse drawings :P)

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

Thank you for appreciating the sequel, and thanks for compliments!

Well, here's how I did it this time around. I first plan the dialogue, then I sketch things (with a real pencil, paper, and eraser) out. I import the sketch (via digital camera) into Photoshop 7.0. Then, using the Pen tool (the one that you make a path with; not brush tool or pencil tool), I trace my sketch. The pen is the key to making smooth lines with a normal mouse. Then I choose black as color, and choose the size of brush, then I click "Stroke Path with Brush" to get black outlines you see. Then I color on a separate layer. The whole process took me about 2 weeks.
...Did that help?

*luff*

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

Yay, someone knows the crazy dancing sunflower! My friend had one of those, it danced when it heard music or other loud noises. If my memory serves correct, it also held a guitar.
Thanks for Zetsu love!

[kikoshou.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaha, brilliant. XD

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[antieden.livejournal.com]

Beautiful. ♥ Both of them were just fantastic =D

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

You really think so? Thanks! And extra thanks for heart!

[turnip-girl.livejournal.com]

That is so adorable. Love it! <3<3

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[deidarachan.livejournal.com]

Deodara shows, once again, that he is teh awesome. Adorable!

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

Deidara is awesome like that. And adorable. And easy to poke fun at. Thanks!

[quesolover.livejournal.com]

AWESOME crack!

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[ex-rong.livejournal.com]

I really love zetsu, itachi and the akatsuki leader! Cuteness to the power of 100!

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

Hey it's you again! (I have to admit, your icon has a tendency to ...leave a strong impression. Very peculiar.)
And for your Akatsuki love, thanks to the power of 100! XD

[memoriez-lost.livejournal.com]

OMG that's so adorable!!

And I absolutely love the transparency effect on those yet-to-be known characters, and that cute lil' question mark on their heads ^_^

I would do some hearts for you if I knew how to, since you seem to love 'em so much, but sad to say this is all I can do ---



I'm such a failure ;_;

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

Just how many comments did you read through? (lol) I like the hearts because it shows the person bothered enough to take extra steps to make the heart (in addition to leaving any comment at all). They're special like that, and hearts are simply hearts. XD Well thanks for attempts at heart anyway! You're not a failure at all~
I'm glad you liked my comic and the little effects I put in them. Thank you for loving them! Hopefully the real faces of the ??? members will be revealed soon, but as of now, I've decided that the green one will be my favorite.

[kumiriko.livejournal.com]

thanks for lettiing me know. and good work. cant wait to see the others.

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you seem to like it, I'll try to start on next one soon. :D
