Okay so I was going to do this every week and then I was moving and well then I was depressed... so well... picking up where I left off. I also copied this almost straight from Y-gal with a few edits because it was easier than typing it over again.

The Arist, chosen by the randomness of my mind, okay really I chose them by grabbing a handful of marbles, counting them and then county from my friends that # of people... but then I realized I had more marbles than I had friends and I was SAD! no just kidding... I did have too many marbles but I wasn't all sad. xD Anyways as a result the last person on my friends list is the feature artist... (used Y! friend list)

And the Artist is...
*drum roll*

KriKri and Alienpoki

Kristal was one of the first artists that I found on here. Yeah can't talk about one without mentioning the other. Hence the dual showcase. Besides, they're both really nice and do amazing work.

So first of all what do I LOVE about Kristal and her art. Well let's see aside from the very delicious butt smex that she does so very well I love the way she draws expressions! Seriously she is able to draw such a range of emotions that it just draws you in. My latest favorite is Tenzou's pissed off face. *giggles insanely*

I also adore her shading and colors which always seem to fit so perfectly. For example, yaoi.y-gallery.net/view/377894… not only fits the character but the lighting in it makes it almost glow. :)

And Alienpoki has a way of bringing the characters to life, She writes exactly what needs to be said and the words and the art always seem to fit seemlessly together. I adore the subtle hints and catchy lines!

They have an amazing talent for leaving off with cliffhangers... you evil evil women. *grins*

Most of you know my OTP is KakaIru but I Officially and utterly LOVE Tenzou and this is entirely their fault. (See Durgas I don't blame you for everything - Kristal and Alienpoki are to blame as well) It's next to impossible to pick a favorite comic from her TenzouIruka stuff, and this may surprise people but it's not the KakaIru one. I'm going to have to say it is either Onegai Senpai yaoi.y-gallery.net/club/5617/ or Sub Rosai yaoi.y-gallery.net/club/5364/ and it depends on the day which is my favorite (usually whichever updated most recently). And I'm not a KakaGaiKaka fan, although it was kind of hawt in this one and they're written extremely well which has actually made me like Gai more. I probably shouldn't say I don't like x because I know some people feel insulted by that. But I'm saying it express exactly how well they're written/drawn. And anyways as I was saying my love of OS is entirely reflective of how much I have come to adore Tenzou. Like I said I LOVE his pissed off face! And the way Iruka is portrayed and the super brattiness and the chibi scene with the video tape, Kyah! Sorry, fangirl moment...

Of course I can't talk about Kristal and not mention her beautiful Russian boys! *drools* yaoi.y-gallery.net/view/397385… is one of the many beautiful pics she's drawn of the sexy mafia men. Russians are just damn sexy!

And then there's the original projects of hers that I love. Here on DA you can find her really cute Misfire comic. krikri.deviantart.com/gallery/… And I can't seem to get her art site to play nice for me. Not sure why but she also has a Little Red Riding comic that is damn spiffy! I would so let me daughter read it if she published it. *hint hint*

BUT the original one that has me on pins and needles is definitely The Orange Bookstore  yaoi.y-gallery.net/club/6252/&… is by both of them. The opening is compelling and given that the other two comics weren't with Alienpoki I'm utterly and totally curious what they'll do with it.

So even if they never do another Naruto comic I will continue to watch them both because they both have such amazing talent and I would love to see them both get something published (together preferably because you guys work so well together!).


BTW: I don't have big hands and marbles aren't super small I just used both hands because I thought I'd get less than I did. Never underestimate me getting all the shinies... or at least most of them. Next time I think I'll roll a die... I used to have a 50 sided one somewhere...
