Artist's Comments

Fifth image from the first chapter of "Ye Chang Meng Duo" based on this excerpt:

Toph turned about completely, unsure of whether or not to smile. The footsteps stopped just before her, and she heard a faint chuckle.

“You’re taller than I am,” Katara remarked. “Now I get to have you staring over my head instead of at my chest.”

“Hi, Katara,” Toph said quietly.

“Hello, Toph,” Katara replied. For a moment, they stood in silence, inches apart and Toph’s hands twitching to reach out and see.

Lookit that fountain! Lookit them folds! =ivybeth's coloring really is a thing of beauty. ^^

It's been a while, hasn't it? Just when school gets done kicking my butt, I start kicking it to get YCMD (as we have taken to calling it) rolling again. I have neglected it far too long. It has been a constant thought in the back of my mind as I went throughout my days, and it is sad to say that I have only gotten this many images up, while *ShinjiShazaki has eight chapters done. *sigh*

But not a sad sigh, mind you. I am ecstatic at her prompt work, and of such high quality too. I can only aspire to become faster as I become more experienced. And finishing the illustrations for this story, even slowly but surely, is a must for me!

So enjoy, this image and those to come! :D

Yippee! New art! I've been waiting to see this one colored for a little while now, so I'm grinning over here! :D

I really like the continuity with the fountain being carried over from the image with Hova and Kailas. It just really works to remind the viewer of the location. And I love the background anyway, so it's all win-win.

There is such wonderful differentiation in all of their stances. Aang is so mellow and just waiting for the girls to get a move on with whatever it is that they're going to do--but he still focuses on Katara with a little smile, like he's expecting her to barrel forward like he did.

Toph and Katara have just the right level of awkward in them. :) Toph's arms being crossed like that really do work very well. She's got some confidence, but she's still a little on edge. It's like she's gripping her elbows to keep from touching Katara's face. As for Katara, she has that little arch and curve to her back as she's reaching up to her hair. It just screams something about how she's unsure, too. And even if it's just to look up at Toph's face, it still works so well for making her look off balance by Toph's presence.

Man, oh man, on Katara's hair. It's great with Ivy's color, but I could still see how thick and...thick and nice it was back when you sent me the lineart. I adore the way you have Katara's hair in all these pictures. Toph probably loves it too. ;P

Mmm, cloth folds and shading and lighting...all awesome, lineart and inking alike. You and Ivy rock hardcore! I love it all over! ...Especially that darned bag! :XD:

...My comments are getting progressively longer. ^^;

the fountain :O the fountain :O ...okay, okay I'll stop.

The fountain and the background is indeed great. Very much kudos to Ivybeth for doing this. (I like the fuzzyness of it...it let's the viewer focus more on the figures in the foreground :D )
You did an amazing job with the poses and the hair and I especially like Katara in this peice here (only can add to Shinjis comment :D )

You three (Mag, SHinji and Ivy) made my day again after some mishaps at the end of this week .

So thanx for all the nice pictures and please do continue (but without pressure :D )

TO THE NOODLES !!

It HAS been a long time, but for a picture like this, it's well worth the wait! A beautiful job, especially Katara in this pic for some reason. She just looks so lovely, you just wanna reach out and touch her to see if she's as soft as she looks.
