I'm not really sure how to reply - I think I probably shouldn't have shared these pictures ^^;

Thank you so much, I'm very glad they look good ^^

Ah haha, it does have that retro vibe doesn't it? He does look a bit like if you tried to lick him, your tongue would stick right onto him and not let go. Hahaha!

I know what you mean about his nostalgic and romantic glance. It's as if he's saying "You can trust me, I'm a professional", while simultaneously winking at the ladies in the crowd. He's like a mix between a snake oil salesman and a magician. A charmer for sure! :D

Well laziness can be used as an advantage in the world that's trying to make you do so many things that are completely unnecessary.

Thank you for the compliment about the music! :3

Well, I hope he will feel better too! Too many disappointments can lead to an "appointment" sooner or later if you catch my meaning ;d

Haha, thanks! I hope he didn't try to get into the washing machine thinking it would transform him into a fluffy towel or something XD

That's super nice of you to say, thank you! I love how the simple background emphasizes the character and showcases the elegance in simplicity, just like you described. Yep, portraying the sense of happiness and excitement when they experience their new hobby is definitely important. Your kind words really make my day, so thank you again!

Thanks for your kind words, Shifty! No need to apologize, we all have our slip-ups every now and then - it's just part of being human. And besides, every little hiccup can teach us something valuable. So, let's embrace those hiccups and learn from them! Haha.

About the lyrics, the song is about an attractive and confident young man with a unique fashion style, who seems quite content with himself despite being judged by others (eye twitch at the previous comment). He is young, stylish, with a confident and charismatic demeanor. His outfit is also reminiscent of classic country wear, which complements the theme of the song. The use of rhyming couplets and repetitive phrases helps convey the message clearly. I always try to combine good lyrics with an appealing picture to help set the mood for the songs.

The tight belt is something that many people associate with country boys, especially those who work on ranches or farms, so I thought it would be a fitting detail for this character. The wasp waist is another important aspect of his appearance, as it highlights his slender physique.

As for your confusion over "eyes full of fire", don't worry too much about it. Sometimes it can be easy to get a little muddled up while looking at a hot fella like him XD Maybe try to avoid listening to "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk while feeling sleepy - you may hear something funny at the beginning! XD

Anyhow, I'm so glad you enjoyed the song and found the picture fitting! Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts and ideas with me! :D

Thank you so much for your kind words, Shifty! They truly made my day! I'm so grateful to have such wonderful friends like you who support and encourage me all the way, and I hope we can continue to share many more amazing adventures together!

As for the Remo Williams movie, I think you might be right! The movie sounds like it has a very vibrant and energetic atmosphere, which aligns perfectly with the playful spirit of my stories. So maybe one day when I finally watch the film, I'll find even more inspiration for my characters!

Take care and have an awesome day! :D

I'm glad you noticed all these little things like the stance, Kimono, the red belt, Yasha's hairstyle and the secret base setting too! They're all important elements in martial arts. The reason for the different feel from my other artwork might be because this one is more serious and mature, compared to some of my earlier stuff.

As for your question about whether I know the movie "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins", the answer is yes! I haven't watched it yet though and I don't know what the movie is about, to be honest it's the first time I've ever heard about it, but I guess I know it now. It's a great advantage of always "living in the Now" - if someone asks if you know about something, you can always easily say yes! :D You just need to make sure that you remember everything they tell you from now on... which could be a bit tricky XD

Anyway, thank you so much for your kind words and positive comments on my artwork, they truly mean a lot to me!

Yeah, I think it would be hilarious if it was a Kiss style song: "I Was Made For Sucking Your Rib Cage, You Were Made For Sucking Mine!" XD But no, this song was not inspired by any well-known songs - I was just trying to follow the idea of Lichard's corpsepaint further and make some actual black metal song but it turned into comedy dark metal instead XD

As for Lichard looking sexier and sexier with each new image - I'm thrilled you think so, but brace yourself for the next one, promising to be the hottest yet ;D

Oh, thanks for remembering! I do recall that period of time being pretty exciting because I had so many plans and ideas going on in my head. The Daily Bend project has always been near and dear to my heart since it's one of the earliest series I did, and I enjoyed drawing it because it felt unique and original at the time.

It's always interesting to see how these things evolve over time. And yes, there were definitely some nods to earlier artwork, I find it satisfying to revisit old characters and settings and see how they've evolved over time. It's like a fun little game of connect-the-dots ;D

And it's fun to inject a bit of nostalgia into each new piece. It's a way of paying homage to the past while also moving forward, kind of like how a band might incorporate elements of their early sound into their newer music. I think it helps to create a sense of continuity and consistency, which is important to keep things intriguing instead of just random.

In any case, I'm glad you enjoy my stories and art, and I hope you continue to follow them as they grow and change. Thanks again for your kind words! :D

Haha, I know right! <3 Martin is such a cutie pie. The shell necklace adds an exotic touch to his look, doesn't it? And those plump, kissable lips... you can just see yourself leaning in for a deep, passionate kiss in the warm sun. Walking along the beach with him would be such a dreamy experience, feeling the sand between your toes and the cool breeze blowing through your hair. You could talk about anything under the sun - life, love, dreams, fears, hopes, and everything in between. And every now and then, you would catch each other's eyes and share a secret smile or exchange playful winks, creating memories that would last a lifetime...
As you stroll by the ocean, the sound of waves crashing against the shore would create a calming rhythm that would help you relax and forget about all your troubles. The smell of saltwater would mix with the fragrant scent of sunscreen, filling the air with a delicious, summery aroma. And when you get tired, you could lay down a blanket and have a picnic together, sharing a bottle of wine and some fresh fruit while watching the sunset ;D
