Description Happy New Year!

What better way to start 2011 than with some excessive bromance? Awww yeah.

I intended this to be on New Year's Day but then it ended up being a bit of a MONSTER and took a lot longer. But hopefully my efforts are well worth it. This was done wholly with brush pens and copic markers (minus the text which is of course Webletterer from www.blambot.com just in case you were wondering). I found out I am REALLY slow with brush pen and copics, just for the record.

I hope you guys are having a great one, miss you much but hopefully this will make you forgive me for being a bit absent during the month of December! Hope to have a real strip up soon. You know I love you much.

<3 Tess!

Bromance ftw xD I love the depth of these characters! They really aren't just cut-out copies of the typical protagonist. And haha "well stomping isn't really dancing, now is it?" You gotta love DDR.

@-@ Oh man. I am in LOVE with your art style... You have no idea how long I've been staring at this comic. Creepy, right!? I can't help it! Your art is just.... eyegasmic?! Makes me want to be a better artist~

Anyway.... cheesy comment aside, great job! <3

I love {...}'s basic -___- reaction to everything. xD He's a great contrast to Hanna, who's so damn animated and obnoxious. His POUT really got me though. I love it. And I agree with him...the abandonment issues aren't random. >3> I love the little poke at the end though. Makes me curious. I hope someday we get to learn what's up with him.

Awesome page. Happy New Year ma'am.

AAAAAAW <3 Good ol' fashioned bromance, never fails to make me get all emotional-like. And Hanna needs to get it through his head that he's not a failure. He's adorable and special and sweet and confident and AWESOME. Tell him that for me.

He does, in a way, what with all us rabid fanpersons, but he's not likely to ever know about any of us. Kind of like... angels, or something? No? Dang. *puts wings away* :C

Certain people have wondered about this for aaaaaaages. Thank you for delivering word-of-god on this subject and for letting the characters be the ones to discuss it. It answers so many questions.
And the end brings up new ones. Thanks for the agonizing, heartbreaking twist. T_T
