Description

Edit: As hard as it is to tell, one leg is not longer than the other. I drew this from a photo, which is 2d, so his leg was distorted. I may have to fix that later. >_>;;

-Yawwwwn- I tried to submit this last night but my parents made me go to bed. D:<

So anyway. This is pretty much a sketch, meaning, it's quality isn't the greatest, but I was content with it. I have a picture of Jake and Elwood jumping, and I laughed a lot and Elwood's because he jumped so high a lot of his head was cut off the photo. Jake also had a really great expression, and I might get down to drawing him.

Now, I know what everyone is thinking right now. "COMMISSIONS?!" Folks, I've been REALLY stressed out. Enough for my family to start noticing. A lot of good things are going on in my life, but it's a lot of work. It's just starting to take a bit of a toll on me emotionally. So I'm sorry that I've put off commissions, yet again.

So, the title/logo. I translated it in like 5 seconds, so don't kill me if I'm wrong. That logo is what I would have used if I made a fan manga, which would have been post Jake's death, pre Buster's "kidnapping," and it would have pretty much adventures with Elwood and Buster, and every car chase, Elwood would reminisce about Jake, and the story would go into a flash back for several chapters... :XD: (One of my theories why he looks like a zombie while he drives!) But, even though this idea is really cool, I might not end up doing it. Simply because of all the work I'm doing instead (I'm not referring to commissions-- I'm blaming school for this one). So the title says, "Kyoudaiai" which, to my knowledge, means "Brotherly Love." Now, when I translated this, I was unsure, because "Shounen ai" means "boy love" and that refers to well... it's a step down from yaoi. I didn't want this title to imply gay buttsecks (although, such is not an impossibility in my future work). I wanted the title to mean exactly what it sounded like. Since there aren't idioms in Japanese for, "mah bro" or whatever we say (Bros before Hoes), I just went for this idea, although, I may later find that it's literal definition may be "incestuous love." D: Moving on. If I DID make a fan manga, it would NOT be slash. A manga is too much work to waste it on a shitty story.

Hmmm. Not much else to say. I said other things when I typed this last night but my brother was also watching over my shoulder, making it very difficult for me to try to explain the title. D:

Speaking of which: Native Japanese speakers, feel free to correct me, but I didn't check this, so it really wasn't a "big mistake" on my part, but simply laziness...

Anyway. Enjoy. I did change his expression a little, and his hat was on his head in the photo. ;3

HOLY CRAP I WENT ON A TANGENT!!

Edit: Handcuff wasn't my idea. It was in the photo. :XD:;
