lol, I could tell right away you didn't draw it, different style. Melina's hair looked really long and wavy than it usually is. kick @$$ fight sceen by Kai, but the white lines of the folds are rather distracting. and why have these two fighting? I started reading HCB, once again great job! So did you write it by yourself or do you and DIZ write it together? I'm glade you found a manga artist

lol, and I hope Melina doesn't burn Tsume too bad, she's one of my favs, lol, pocky eater.  

lol, DIZ and I write it together. Sometimes he writes a whole chapter and I edit it or sometimes I write the chapter and he edits it *shrugs*

lol, really? wow you two must have a really similar writing style, couldn't tell. Looks like ya got a sweet system there. thought he came up with the plot and characters while you wrote it out, just sayin' it's like reading Ice and Fire(lol, sry, ya got a long title there, it's just my way of shortening it) 

Oh, I edit it with detail, that's why it sounds like Heart of Ice, Eyes of Fire

lol, yeah ya sure do ^_^. how bout this: HoIEoF, lol, the abbreviation looks like some retarded word. 

lol, I just put Heart Ice Eyes Fire when I want to make it short. Sometimes people just say Heart Ice

lol, well just goes to show we're all different. Hoieof, hmmm looks like a name a Star Wars character would have or somethin' lol

lol, today in Spanish class we had to create a creature and describe it in Spanish so I named it Hoieof

and to answer your question about the white lines, this was in manga style as well, so I just kept the white lines there because I'm lazy XD

Oh, that makes sense, so Kai knows how to do that too? 

No, Kai only draws it in pencil

Huh? really? Well I hope at least Kai has some experience at inking his drawings if he's a manga artist, seems like just another job for you to do, but w/e, you sure  keep yourself busy. 

yes well...he's only 14, so I'm not going to get too hard on him with inking. Besides, I have to make a contribution to the manga as well. It's good practice for me

O.O wow he's only 14! sry i take it back, just thought he was older. but it's cool you want to be involved in the manga, like this story's your baby too, lol. I took a Comic Book Illustration class as a summer program at an art college once. The Funnest Class I ever took!(I know funnest isn't a word, lol)  except we didn't use photoshop to ink we had to use actual ink and brushes, lol. So yeah making a comic or manga is very fun process. So I take it that you want to make your own comic/manga one day saying it would be good "practice" ?  

I'm this story's step-mom XD Heart of Ice, Eyes of Fire is my real baby =3 lol, actually, nah, I don't think I will. The inking in Photoshop just helps me use different and quicker techniques

lol, step-mom, good one. Yeah can't forget your real baby.

Sweet! This is really cool.
Reminds me of an attack my OC Keiko uses. XD
This is very well colored. I admire your work.
