Haller y'all!!!

today actually marks the fifth year aniversary of my very own creation "The Soul" its a story i made when i was in second year highschool that was turned into a manga last 2003. unfortunately for me, its still hanging coz i've been trying to revise the whole story as well as adding up new characters, internal conflicts and stuff... but that's another story for next time.

what i'm trying to say is that, because of this special occasion, i'm hosting a contest! yes, draw my "The Soul" characters for a chance to win a 12 month subscription here in DA! hahaha!



okay, i lied...




not only for "The Soul" characters but also for all my other characters!!! wahahahaha!!!! i wanna see people draw them so bad that's why i'm pimping my other creations
