Because my photo of the markers received so many shares, I realised that many artists are interested about the markers and perhaps want to know where to buy them from. Hence I wrote this guide for artists to shop in COPIC heaven aka Tokyo. ★ UPDATE NOV 2017: Please refer to my new article for latest updates on COPIC marker shopping! >>> Ultimate Guide to Copic marker shopping in Tokyo, Japan
Because my previous guide "Where to buy COPIC markers in Tokyo", was an all-time hit with 30,000 page views, I decided to do an updated version for all illustrators who are planning to buy COPIC markers in Tokyo.
Work began in April after persistent requests from fans to do LINE stickers. I first did a focus group on Patreon to gather feedback and Kurone Shizuhi, a very hardcore LINE user, suggested the most changes (Thank you Shizuhi, Reventon and Jerome!) After finalising the chosen 40 stickers, I inked it and sent it to my assistant to colour. Then it was returned to me a week later and I continued to clean up the lines and tweak the colours for another week or so (on and off). I finally submitted on 18th May excitedly and announced on my Instagram:
Don't tell me he/IT wanted a hug....run eva run
ReplyDeleteNo... I think he was wondering if he should approach the customers... but we tried to ignore him...
DeleteI beleive that panda was retired from Tokyo Zoo. Lack of security made him beggar. Poor panda!
ReplyDeleteI bet there are some bugs in his hair too :lol:
BTW, the backside of that story is: small kids will not notice that disgustings, and they will stick around ...
ewww ...
Not bed bugs I hope!
DeleteHe should at least get the zoo keepers to clean his fur...
or even better, just increase his pay!
In conclusion: The real Panda is cuter! XD
ReplyDeleteLOL, IT IS!!!!
DeleteThe Panda with a zipper! LOL Toooo Cute.
ReplyDeleteIf you think that's cute, then I think we should place all the zippers at the front ...:P
