Artist's Comments

Re-Scanned December 5th 2009 ^^!

By some unknow reason for me, each time I draw Alex & Benji, they look pretty away from the last ones, especially from their original desing. Anywaya that's sometimes I hate sometimes... but mostly I like... because here they look exactly the way I conceived them in my mind... or really close to XD! I still can't believe I reach this sort of manga-style... When I saw it finished I though WTF! This is Awesome! and then I said At least I did It!

Honestly, I always wanted to draw like this... I really enjoyed doin' it... and still enjoy viewin' it XD! They look pretty furrier than my other Alex & Benji's illustrations. Characters change a lot each time i draw them, but I decide that this's the final conception of them... so, that means no more clothes or accesories changes on their bodies!
And yes... I always wanted Benji wearin' a black arm-ripped T-Shirt under his red coat XD!

I've to say during the last year's months I dedicated myself into explore art tecniques, tutorials and tips for became better and better along my illustrations. I found lots of them, pretty useful by the way, on Dibujando.Net [link] XD! I read also a few books about human body illustration, clothes desing, backgrounds, etc... you know, all that stuff that's pretty neccessary to know for become a great artist and make great arts!
Butch Hartman's style's still my pretty :+fav:, but I wanna make a realist one with Alex & Benji's... or at least, try to get it XD!

Well, about this picture title... I originally wanted to call it "Stronger Than Fiction" XD! Have you ever seen the Stranger Than Fiction movie? I did, and really loved it... The title was supposed to be a sort of crossover, making reference about my life's love story... Why? Well...

As many people who knows me knows, I created Alex & Benji's concept in order to release my soul of the deep sadness I used to feel by being alone in a society that always teach me that homosexuality is "the wrong choice" T T That made me feel guilty a lot of times with myself, accordin' to my sexuality. I think it's horrible that lot of people in the world've to hide and quit their love dreams just because the outside says that's wrong to express it...
I live accordin' to those ideas during all my teenage's years... Finally, I ask me the ony question that makes me feel fine with myself: Am I directly hurting or making bad to someone with my decision? The answer was pretty easy... just NO! I think It's worse when people kill themselves in stupid wars about some reason they neither know... True Love is not bad in any of its ways!
When I started to understand that and feel fine with the complety integrity of what I am, I really started to live! Few months ago, then I created Alex & Benji... I meet a guy who thinks exactly like me... called Alexander! Yes, Alexander! Big Surprise... even for me! We love each other and well, f*ck off what other would think... I'm just bringing my entire soul for someone, to only makes him feel happy and beloved... What's wrong with that? I think that nothing...


Well, I decided to make this like a gift for him, by makin' me feel the happiest guy on the earth XD! And call it "There's Something About You"... Life is so misterious sometimes XD!

I just say this to all of you: If you really know and feel, even bein' straight, gay, lesbian or whatever, that you love somebody and just wanna give that person the precious gift of be loved... and I'm talkin' about real love, the one that goes far away of just've sex... the one who make you feel confortable and sure of yourself, without any intention of hurt someone... Just Fight 4 It And Don't Be Worried About What Others Thinks! You're Not Makin' Anything Wrong! You've All The Rights To Do It!

Wow... ¡Martin!
Que genial estuvo todo eso.
Yo tambien se lo que se siente, lo mucho que sofoca "el closet" , y lo solo que uno se siente dentro. Que bien por ti que encontraste a alguien con quien poder vivir tu vida, a veces me pregunto si no voy a quedarme solo toda la vida... supongo que tu tambien llegaste a sentirlo.
Y no se si te haya pasado a ti, pero saber que la persona a la que amo no se va a fijar en mi, no necesariamente por mi aspecto o mi forma de ser, sino simplemente por mi genero... es horrible.
Lastima que tengamos que vivir en una sociedad asi, donde solo el amor "normal" es permitido....
Muchas, muchas felicidades por haber encontrado a Alexander... en serio te deseo toda la felicidad con el.

Después del pic que hiciste en navidad, este me encantó. Se nota que vas mejorando en cuanto al dibujo. Siendo sinceros, adoro la idea que estás tomando con esto. Sigue Adelante :hug:

Okay, this is definitely my favourite of all your drawings ^^ It's so heart-warming and incredibly adorable :aww: You did really great job on this one, Hon! :clap:
Looks like I'm not the only one who changes characters' look every time I draw them XD It happens to me all the time, seriously. I kind of started to get used to th thought my characters alway will look different ^^' But I think taht's good. Everyone changs, so why not characters?

I like the title, I love the way Benji looks at Alex... and Alex is so relaxed. Very cute ^^ I have to say it again: I love it. And I think Alexander loves it too ^^
Gah, you know that when I've finished reading your artist's comment (especially the end of it) to this pic I had watery eyes? ^^' I don't remember the last time I had this reaction to reading something... everything what you wrote was so true, touching... really, really beautiful!

I wish you two all the best! :cuddle:

sos lo mas, martin. primero sabe eso.

sobre lo primero , si es asi a mi tambien me ocurre. eso de que cada vez esta mejor o a mi lo que me pasa es lo que yo creia que estaba bien lo veo ahora y veo lo mal proporcionado o lo mal que los cuerpos estan. las proporciones son dificilisimas, y si queres pasar de las reales a las de anime , todo todo es difficil >_< admiro a la gente que le sale tan bien.

tus proporciones son buenisimas (: y si se ven mas furry que los otros dibujos que vi de alex y benji pero asi los veo bien yo *3*
yo de chica (lease hace 5 años xD) sieeeeeeeeempre usaba dibujando.net es genial!! ahi aprendi a dibujar manos, aunque ya no me salen xD

si stranger than fiction es una muy buena pelicula xD y el titulo me gusta


alex existe :heart: ? aw, me hace muy feliz saber que tenes a alguien que te haga feliz más alla de todo y sabes que pienso absolutamente igual a vos en todo :glomp:

Muchas Gracias Tishe!

A mi suele pasarme lo mismo con mis dibujos, como cuando Dexter hacia un nuevo invento y decia "Este es mi mejor Invento" y todos los demás eran nada al lado del ultimo... Soy conciente que aún me falta mucho por aprender XD! Dibujando.Net me ayudo mucho respecto con la ilustración de prendas y cabello, entre otros tantos tips que me vinieron al pelo!

Y si *suspiro romántico* Alexander... existe, y doy gracias a Dios cada día por ello! Lo conoci poco tiempo después de crear a estos personajes... Talvez soy medio brujo y mis dibujos predicen el futuro XD! Naa... pero lo importante es que finalmente pude hacer caso omiso a la opinión ajena y empezar a compartir mi felicidad con ese ser especial que tanto buscaba...

Well, It's confortin' to me to know that I'm not the only one with characters-constantly-changin'-over XD! But I'm accordin' to you... Everyone changs, so why not characters? Good Thinkin'

Yeah, Alex was pretty happy with this illust... He really likes it!
Thanks 4 The Wishes! And sorry 4 Make You Cry... XD!

Muchas Gracias Dark! Yo tambien espero seguir mejorando y comenzar pronto a hacer el comic... pero no quiero apurar mucho las cosas, ya que de ahora en adelante con los estudios nuevamente de por medio, todo saldra más lento... pero seguro XD! Prefiero calidad y precisión antes que cantidad y rapidez XD!

Muchas Gracias Kalot!
Creo que has expresa una parte muy importante de ti aqui conmigo y bueno... me alegra que manifiestes confianza hacia mi.
La etapa del "closet", como muchos la llaman... no es del todo mala, muchas veces es una buena transición que ayuda a descubrirnos a nosotros mismos. La soledad que conlleva es un pequeño precio que debemos pagar para que en un futuro, la decisión que tomemos sea honesta con nosotros mismos, segura e incondicionada por nadie!
Tampoco pienses que estaras solo por siempre... porque tarde o temprano alguien vera en ti lo que siempre ha estado buscando... o viceversa! Y llegara la felicidad... aún eres joven y tienes mucha vida por delante! Así que, animo!
Y si la persona que amas no se fija en ti por esas razones que dijiste, sobre todo la ultima... entonces creo que no es la indicada para ti T T Creeme, yo pase por eso en la secundaría... viviendo una mentira que yo mismo alimentaba, hasta que la realidad fue inevitable e insoportable. La persona que busques debe aceptarte tal y como eres, sin pretender cambiarte... y tu debes hacer lo mismo con quien vayas a amar...

Y no existe el amor "normal", existe solo amor... que se expresa de muchas maneras, y nadie tiene derecho a decir si uno es más correcto o incorrecto que otro, al fin y al cabo... solo se trata de amor, y nada más importa!

Gracias por los deseos! Y recuerda... no niegues lo que eres, solo tu eres capaz de decidir lo que quieres en tu vida, no los demás... podran lograr talvez que tu verdadero yo tarde en florecer, pero nunca dejes que te lo hagan negar! Podrías estar dejando de lado TU felicidad por el simple hecho de complacer a los prejuiciosos que te rodean...

Was the title choice, by any chance, inspired by the INXS song "Need You Tonight"? 'Cause it came up in my head just after I read the title...

btw....This is very nice, and reminds me a lot of my gay romance pieces!
