Hahaha! (And by the way I was limited by the character limit, but of course I liked all the little touches like the "I love pasta" shirt! And she looks really good in your style including the giant hairpin, you really worked hard on this! Thank you!)
I LIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHA!! I didn't expect that! Now it's my turn to write in Japanese! γγγγ¨γγγγγΎγοΌοΌοΌοΌSo apparently there is a micro-sized Saya from my Half Inch High comic series, and also a giant-sized Saya which you drew previously: I wonder if there's also a normal-sized Saya somewhere too! Thank you again, Ten!!
Hehe, thank you! I just hope you'll have some patience with me, with respect to when the next HIH episode will be released... time is what's lacking for me and lots of other things are going on too, but as you can see, I still like these characters a lot (well, Eruko is Ten's OC of course)! π€
Awwwwww thank you for writing in Italian! Your reference sheet for Eruko was so well made, it was easy to draw her!
Yes, thankfully! Anyway, as you can see, my Saya is very tiny: if she were to meet Eruko, she'd need someone to carry her around even just so that she could be seen by her!

She's a very secondary character, so she's not done a lot so far... but look at the fifth panel here: can you see the tiny girl in the foreground, using a giant button as a hairpin? That's her! bsky.app/profile/labb...
Oh! I think I've seen her around: this is Jyagapo's character, isn't she? She looks nice here in your style! (I also have a character by the same name, did you know? Though in my case, instead of being very big, she's very small!)
I'll be going to bed now because it's late, but this looks delicious! At a glance it looks like it mixes meat and vegetables, I can almost imagine the kind of strong flavor that comes out of it! I wish I could try it at least once, too!
Oh! Yeah, they're the photos you posted some days ago, right! I couldn't interact earlier because I was busy drawing the chapter on a deadline, and actually I still need a little more to finish it; but as soon as I have some free time, I always like stopping by! Did you like seeing Nagoya again?
Oh, cool! Are you going somewhere? That's definitely a famous train!
Awww thank you so much! I'm happy you like them, especially since you're a programmer yourself (and in a much harder field than most too, haha)!
Aaaah this is so good, I really like it! It's so full of details, of information, and now with colors too! It's amazing, Ten!
You're showing all your expertise, and it's great to learn so many cool facts! (As I expected, the number of kanji in Japanese is staggering! It's always surprising to me that it's possible to learn and remember them all!)
Great! I'll be confirming with that friend then, to see if my server is currently in Europe: because if it is, and you see no noticeable latency, that is great! Thank you so much for all the help, really! π
Ah, now I understand! Hah, too bad for her, then!
Yes! Also, I don't want to take too much time from you, so I apologize for asking one last question, but... did the name change from Sagiko to Eruko then, or did I miss something? Either way I love the character for sure!
I live in Italy, yes! But I imagine that doesn't mean disservice for *visitors,* right? For example, for all I've always known OVH is based in France but people from all over the world have never had problems accessing my site, so that shouldn't be affected, right?
That is absolutely beautiful!! I told you that your calligraphy is beautiful, didn't I? And I meant that in cursive English/Italian as well! Not even I can write that well in my own alphabet, haha! Thank you so much for sharing a breakdown of the meaning of the kanji, too!
That's a great idea, so you have a reference always in front of you when you draw! And oh my, that character is so full of strokes that it appears as a dense blob of indistinguishable lines on my phone... kanji are fascinating, but they're also hard. I couldn't even remember it, let alone write it!
OVH is actually where my website currently sits... but on basic webhosting, not a VPS, and it's sort of shared with a friend in terms of the actual contractual plan. If I were to get a VPS on Hetzner (I've been thinking about them more than Netcup lately), do you think that would be a good choice?
The inking looks great! You have a pretty good idea of which lines should be thicker and which not, and that's all that matters! Plus, I really like this reference sheet: cool character (she's the one from the previous illustrations), nicely rendered size... and even your calligraphy is good, Ten!
Oh! You got a commission from Atrium, nice: and you did such a great job with it too, you know I always enjoy seeing your characters and these two in particular!~
I should have gotten one long ago, but I couldn't convince myself and this happened... do you have them on OVH? I was hesitant because I didn't know what the best provider was (especially for a first-time user), so I waited... until prices went up, unfortunately! π€
Komasan, hello! Thank you so much, it was a fun day that I spent with family (but I was also working on manga at the same time, hehe)!
Thank you so much, my friend!! It's been a fun day, and now I can relax a bit too!
Don't worry, it's okay! Grazie mille, Ten!! It's something that sometimes even I forget about: for example I have to keep working on the manga today, so it's actually a day like any other, haha!
Yes, this is it! It's exactly what I'd always seen in manga: what a cool place for a giant girl to sit and relax! Now I'm going to bed, since it's 4AM in Italy... the 4AM of Feb. 19th, that is. That's my birthday, and just seeing these pics counts as a wonderful gift! Thank you so much, Ten!!
This might surprise you, but by the way your characters stand and move and act, their facial expressions and all, I would say you're already much closer to a real manga style than I am, for the most part! So when you improve the technical details too, it'll become even better to a surprising degree!
