Are hands difficult to draw?

They require a lot of work to get right. All those fingers in such a small space. Note that the classic Disneyesque anthropomorphic character, such as Mickey Mouse, has fewer fingers than a human, for this reason.

The stylized hands and feet Ms. Sevakis is using shows up in manga a lot, in the style called superdeformed (I think).

Omg, kevin. Anime hyper

I support Nina crossplaying. I'm sure she'll look as good as one of the Takarazuka ladies.

I hope Kevin realizes, though, that even though Nina would be making out with a fangirl, she'd still be dressed as a dude! And if it were another fangirl in crossplay, it'd be yaoi! Anime hyper And yuri, at the same time, I guess... Anime smile;;

You guys are overthinking this. To Kevin at first he would never want to see a hot girl look like a dude because that's not hot. but the idea of watching girls make out with Nina is hot. Therefore he offers to help but because what straight male doesnt like girls making out. its pervy but true.

Oh man, I totally didn't get this at first - the joke flew right over my head Anime hyper Now that I've picked up on it, though, it's hysterical.

I hope we get to see Nina go through all the pain and travail of making her own cosplay! I could certainly sympathize right about now Anime cry

You speak the truth, my friend.

EDIT: I just now noticed the look on Paola's face in the last panel. Classic.

Yeah, my guy friend and I have been trying for awhile now to figure out what you get when two girls crossplay and then make a yaoi pairing out of it. Is it yaoi? Is it pseudo-yuri? Is it just creepy? Wink

Only if it's in yuri anime/manga (I'm a dude that likes both yaoi and yuri), but in real life two chicks making out is sick!!

I agree, even though it was subverted in Godannar (Shadow is hot, she beats Shizuru and Mira in my book, plus she's played by Yuko Kaida, and Christine Auten, but that's just my taste in women!!), I've been wondering that too, if it was considered pseudo-yuri!!

Oh God, that just takes the ickiness level through the roof. Now I'm going to have nightmares for sure. If I'm not on the forums tomorrow, look for me cowering in my wardrobe with a blanket on my head (if I'm not throwing up in the bathroom).
Yuck.

Could y'all please be a little more considerate of those of us who are lesbians? Calling two women kissing 'sick' is rather offensive Sad

Personally, I find a woman and man kissing more distasteful.

Of the latest yuri monthly.


Lol, now that's comedy! Really though, bring on the Cosplay!


On a side note, there have been some romantic overtones between Kevin to Nina. Does anyone think we might get a News Nina hook up strip one day?

Oh, as a straight male I have no problem whatsoever with two women kissing, even if they are lesbians.

What creeps me out is that they are dressed up - and acting like - males when they do kiss. As maichips has already pointed out, it is yuri and yaoi at the same time. I mean, is it a male kissing another male, a female kissing a male, a male kissing a female, or a female kissing another female? The ambiguity of the genders is just too much for my fragile constitution.

Having seen some very hot "crossplayers" in action, I can't say I have the same reservations about it as Kevin Anime hyper
