Shiki will always be interesting to me! I like every Ozaki chapter to be honest, because each expands more on my favorite character, I'd like to get to know him, so to say, better than the shounen version in the animanga. The CoverMyAss sort of takes him down a step from his good doctor pedestal, but then it also makes him more like a regular person. Who wants to blame themselves for letting a young girl die? Not only is he afraid of being blamed by Shimizu, but I think he's clearing himself in his mind a little bit, too; he wouldn't want to live knowing he could have saved Megumi, so he can brush it off as an "Shimizu didn't want an autopsy anyway, I did all I can." My heart bleeds for the guy.

I'm glad you like it! I hadn't really drawn in a long time, so it was fun taking some time to do that again. I think I spent more time just looking up pictures of Seishin rather than actually drawing... I used the Paint.NET program to digitally color it; I considered outlining it to give it that streamlined anime look, but I really liked the manga motif that looks like it's drawn with really light pencil and is faded in some places, so I kept my lineart and just filled it in with color. I'm especially happy that you noticed the broom, because I took special care with it! A good monk deserves a good broom, after all. The shading wasn't a terribly complicated deal, what I just do is I select some random areas and then color them inside with black and then erase the parts I don't want shaded; the process is kind of hard to explain. But yeah, I really enjoyed getting a chance to draw! Any suggestions for the next illustration?
I didn't like using Tinypic, but that was the only method I could come up with at the time to send the picture (and the resolution got a bit worse)! If it's easier I could maybe just send it by email or something next time?
