yabasha asked:

I must say, that your comic is lovely and I've been enjoying it immensely! I noticed that your style somewhat resembles Hiromu Arakawa's (author of Fullmetal Alchemist). Is that a coincidence, or has she been an influence on your style? Either way, keep up the work, I can't wait to see more from you! =')

Thanks! I get this a lot and yeah, Fullmetal Alchemist is important to me. I was a faithful reader of the scanlations for it’s entire run (almost ten years) and loved every chapter, so the influence must’ve rubbed on me more or less.

However I’m blind to my own style and don’t really get where people see the resemblance exactly! I’m not particularly impressed by Arakawa’s character designs so I didn’t imitate those on purpose at least. Her art is quite badass otherwise, though. Especially the action scenes!
