	Announcement! And Bella & April whip out yet another page! This time, right on time for mother's day! biggrin Well, the page isn't "mother's day themed" in any way, but heck, I'll always try to use any excuse to make the pages special somehow! LOL April's toning is as stunning as always and I think I really like how Bella came out. For those who are concerned: "Don't you think that Bella looks like your cousin Andrea on this page?" (You know who you are! ) wink Here we start out a new day for our crew. Will it be as exciting as before? Who knows? I figured that at the very least I'll do what I didn't accomplish in the first few chapters and explain to everyone more or less how the place works. smile Also, you might be getting to know the various rooms in the BOWBS HQ and where our team does its magic! biggrin Because of the fact that I really don't consider this to be a professional manga at all, I had previously used "Comic sans" as a font for speech. I prefer rounded letters for speech so I figured, it was okay. I didn't really have any other reason other then: *"If my PC crashes, I'll always have this font no matter what,"* However, the comic community looks down SO MUCH at this font that I've gotten really fierce comments on how the font brings down the entire quality of the comic! D: So, for this reason, I've decided to switch. I used to not care before but it's just gotten ridiculous now. If anyone has any suggestions on nicer fonts for speech, do not hesitate to comment on it. smile I'm still an amateur after all. Next Page: May 20th Edited May 16th ~~ To All readers!* Please try to get your friends to read this! I want to cause enough of a stir to get my journal put in the Featured Journal section on Gaia. So the more peeps that know about my manga the more attention I will get. So tell everyone, that if they like this they should comment, recommend and spread the word! I've met people who say they read but have never posted a comment. So maybe this will encourage them to! Also, to get my journal in the Featured Journal section PLEASE select the recommend button under "Gaia Journals" up top of your journal options. ~~ BOWBS Thread* For news, info and discussion of BOWBS manga, please click on the link and join the fun! I'll also be answering questions there as well, do feel free to subscribe and discuss with other BOWBS readers. smile *~Bella~* Offline Belladona Nightshade · Community Member · Sun May 11, 2008 @ 07:26am


	I just want to say the eyes are exquisite! Offline carcer · Community Member · Sun May 11, 2008 @ 07:30am


	i really like how Bubbleh look in the second panel she has a very cute face! ^^ with her big eyes and and stuff ^^ cool page bell bell! Offline Akuma_ Higurashi · Community Member · Sun May 11, 2008 @ 09:06am


	I love your work! Can't wait to the next update ^^ domokun Offline PanChan · Community Member · Sun May 11, 2008 @ 10:19am


	I like the composition of the page for sure. Someone discredited you on your font? That's pretty lame. It should be compeletly up to the designer what font they use. I'm not sure, but I don't personally like Bella in this one. Maybe it's because she looks really sad and has no smile. Offline Korda · Community Member · Sun May 11, 2008 @ 02:29pm


	Another lovely page Bella and April! I've realized i don't comment down here often enough~ It is my mother's day resolution to comment more! ^_______^ Offline Boussole · Community Member · Sun May 11, 2008 @ 04:35pm


	I love the Gaia logo on the computer! lol Great work... as always! Offline Fauxlorne · Community Member · Sun May 11, 2008 @ 06:23pm


	Beautiful Job as always Bella and April! I'm enjoying this storyline very much. Can't wait till the next page ^_^ Offline Dragonflyfaerie · Community Member · Sun May 11, 2008 @ 09:18pm


	very nice i like how the story's progressing ^^though some of the toning is a little.. .too much. like how it looks REALLY dotty on the clothes, the background AND the skin. it's nice for certain things, but alltogether i think it's a bit much ^^ Offline MrNailVT · Community Member · Mon May 12, 2008 @ 04:06am


	Maybe the comic community doesn't like Comic Sans so much because it's so readily available and versatile? I dunno... Anywho, new page looks good! Really liking how Bubbleh turned out. Does this mean we get to see the rest of the shop? Offline euclids_triangle · Community Member · Mon May 12, 2008 @ 06:32am


	lol, um Jah? That's how toning is supposed to be. lol Well, I love it! April, Bell-Bell, you guys works so perfectly together. And occasionally me, XD. Oh! Bella! I was searching through some old boxes, cuz I'm moving soon, and I found my old sketch book with my original "Life in Sketchin" comic. You know, with the beetle and the kitty cloud? ^^ So I hope to start making that soon. Offline KarabeanSweet · Community Member · Mon May 12, 2008 @ 03:02pm


	Yay! I can't wait Dance! biggrin You know we'll sponsor you here so don't forget to leave me a Banner so i can put it up here and in the BOWBS thread. smile Offline Belladona Nightshade · Community Member · Mon May 12, 2008 @ 07:33pm


	hey, hey it's the ladies! biggrin I don't really like the dots in Bubbleh's eyes so my sugestion might be to smooth those out. Also, April, can I request to not have any shading in mine at all? Just a really-really light tone. My eyes are yellow after all. smile Offline Josh_JB_Benton · Community Member · Mon May 12, 2008 @ 08:43pm


	Ooh! So pretty! Now that we have toned pages, everything feels more professional biggrin Offline Shinja_Mizuno · Community Member · Mon May 12, 2008 @ 09:34pm


	Toning looks amazing! . A blink and I'm all grown up....scary... xp May stay active on Gaia again after being away for so long. 11.28.11 Offline XvXYuNiEXvX · Community Member · Tue May 13, 2008 @ 12:45am


	Sorry to everyone who dislikes the tones. I will no longer tone any of the eyes since people seem to dislike it, and sure JB. @the people that dislike the tones: I'm sorry you don't like them, that is how I tone. I am not doing this for any profit and I do it on my own time, I'm just trying to add something extra to the comic. Offline April_Lily · Community Member · Tue May 13, 2008 @ 01:45am


	Honestly, April, all it is is critisizm. You'll get it no matter where you go. I personally think it adds to the comic because it shows darkness of color in the eyes, and I like it there. Toning is about showing the differences so people can tell skin, hair, eye darkness and stuff like that, and I know you know this, April, I'm more kinda just saying it. Maybe use more of a liney txture rather than dotty? Honestly, I think maybe if you play around with different textures for the eyes we'll get something that fits. And don't worry about not keeping it constant, you're working on it, and both me and Bell-Bell encourage you to practice and keep trying. Either way, the page looks awesome. Just don't take critisizm as discouragement. Take it as consideration of new things. Just cuz someone says it, doesn't mean that you have to not do it at all, try something new. ^^ You're amazing Offline KarabeanSweet · Community Member · Tue May 13, 2008 @ 02:51pm


	I second what Dance said! Seriously you have crazy skills. I was jsut making a suggestion. -JB- Offline Josh_JB_Benton · Community Member · Tue May 13, 2008 @ 07:03pm


	Props on the toning again. I really enjoy seeing these different shades of grey. It adds a level of depth and dimension to the lineart. Not to mention the textural quality makes it seem like it came straight out of actual published book pages. Keep it up gals! 3nodding Offline yukidream13 · Community Member · Tue May 13, 2008 @ 09:55pm


	Sorry, I spazzed out guys, i'm not usually like that, I have been down and really stressed lately...so I'll practice different stuff and hopefully I'll find something you guys really like! hugs everyone who encouraged her Offline April_Lily · Community Member · Tue May 13, 2008 @ 10:31pm


	Wow, this page looks absolutely amazing with the lovely toning and such. biggrin Offline Aposiopetic Ellipsis · Community Member · Wed May 14, 2008 @ 01:06pm


	DUDE, I LOVE the toning. It's BEAUTIFUL, and it really makes the pages look... beautiful?(Sorry for my lack of adjectives, tired Penguins is tired.) Bubbleh Looks fantabulous, I love her eyes. I like the toning of the eyes btw, if it counts for anything. P.S: And sorry I'm, like, SUPER late on commenting. I went to a concert this week, and it threw off my entire sleeping schedule. I keep going to bed really late, waking up really early and being generally tired and junk the entire day.Sowee. xp Offline PenguinsStealMySanity · Community Member · Sat May 17, 2008 @ 09:54pm


	Wow, deffinitely one of my favorite pages!! blaugh xd Offline YuKiKo92 · Community Member · Tue Apr 21, 2009 @ 09:48pm
