Please send me a note if any of the links are bad and I'll fix it... Someday... Eventually...
Also, if anyone is interested, I did make a ***Patreon***. I'm trying to post on there as well, but I think everyone that has followed me long enough is aware that I am abysmal when it comes to posting. If you'd like to toss a dollar or two, that'd be grate. Or don't, it's your decision and I shall respect it.
UPDATE Feb2, 2024
Con la ayuda de @legalronin hemos comenzado a traducir el comic en Español! Muchas gracias a esta linda mujer y toda su paciencia conmigo!
Si ven que algo no esta escrito correctamente, favor de mandarme un mensaje.
Finalmente, soy de México, la manera que hablo y escribo es muy Mexicano.
I don't recall ever seeing this... why was I not informed!?!?! This is really cute!
Actually, I might have been told, but my memory is bad and for that I will apologize for not remembering.
I have finally found this draw, I did it like 4 or five years ago and the poor thing was all damage. I did this because of a fanfic I read. Saito is from Watsuki and lovely Tokio appearance is mostly from eeni.deviantart.com
Fanfic: The Courtship of Lady Tokio by misaki-toyodome
You guys. It is finally done. A bit late for Halloween (that cover art went through a few revisions), but it is done!
OMG! I got 2 chapters done in 1 year! I'm so proud of myself! I didn't think I was going to do it but I did! Thanks everyone for continuing to wait patiently for me to doodle my lil heart out. See you all in the ever so slowly turnaround for ch. 14!

Deviantart Sorry, these jerks support AI art and I'm totally not done for it. I think my art will stay there, but I'm not posting there anymore.
You can read the originally Courtship of Lady Tokio HERE
I don't use/make character reference sheets, but I'm sure I might know a few who do and this might be useful to others.
Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel
IT'S BAD
PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS
EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why
I was going to post the chapter this week... Today actually, but then there are edits that need to be made and I'm looking at panels trying to force myself not to redraw them.
A few years back when censoring started, I had a lot of figure/feet studies and even some cartoon sketches blocked because they "are explicit images". But this VIDEO of a woman dancing and stripping her bikini is ok. PERFECTLY FINE!!!! Can't have an artist put up a figure drawing studying lighting from over 5 years ago, but lady strip dancing today is ok.
And moving on to the Juppongatana! I hope and pray that this is the way Shishio will appear in the live action. I think this design kicks ass!!! Soujiro reminds me of Miki Kaoru from the Utena series. And finally, Kamatari, while cutter then the original, he’s more scantly clad! Wear that kimono more properly young lady/man!
I'm still blocking the accounts that have the sexy girls and no likes on there.
fun fact!! it turns out that now when u make a new blog, tumblr forces you to follow 3-4 people before you can change your icon or modify your blog in any way!! this, of course, means that, yes, some of the "potential bots" many of us have been automatically blocking could have possibly been genuine new users who were only just seconds in to having an account!!! tumblr is literally screwing new users over!!!!
