THIS IS A JOKE. Some people appear to think this tutorial is serious. It is not. At all.

So waaaay back in April 2005, Chari and I created a tutorial together when she was over at my house.

I fished it back out around last week, and since I was bored, I decided to finish it. I modified it a little (so it would be smaller and easier to read, the content is still all there)...and added in the graphics. And now that it is complete, I feel that I need to share this amazing tutorial.

For all the time we have been browsing dA, we have seen artists unsuccessfully trying to cop - I mean, "been inspired" by our art. We decided to make a tutorial together that would become a super tutorial and ~*help deviants everywhere!!*~

Credits
Text: First paragraph was completely done by Chari XD with the whole smilie face at the end. Most of the original was also edited by her.

Graphics: Google search for Watermelons - Watermelon
The actual KAWAIINEKO was drawn/coloured etc by me

The two graphics of the KAWAII NEKO [Neko-Ai] - the first was by Chari and the second was by me. We both own that character.

Just some notes:

Thanks! to the people who have made their own ~~kawaii nekoz~~, following this tutorial. They are all beautiful works of art. Also, thankyou for being normal human beings with a sense of humour!

Apologies to people who are offended or upset or otherwise feel negatively towards this tutorial. Either that or I have reason to believe you've got some insecurities about certain things. n_N; I cannot change the way you interpreted this tutorial, BUT I do not enjoy being abused. If you have nothing more to say than you think I'm a horrible person that is the spawn of the devil, then don't say it. I mean you can, be my guest, but it's really not going to affect me or change my opinion or make me cry into my pillow at night. ^_^ internet is srs buznes!!

Also, depending on my mood, and your comment, I might either politely explain to you what I think you have missed, or I will bitch you the fuck out. Just letting you know.

I am aware that there are many KAWAIINEKO artists. Myself, Chari, friends, included, so wouldn't I just be the biggest hypocrite if I'm doing this to kick up a fuss about that?

I do not go around abusing everyone and anyone I see putting anime eyes on cats. That's not the point. The point is, I (and others) have a certain way of drawing and I get kind of pissed when I see people copying everything down to the last detail.

You try seeing your art badly drawn everywhere, and then people getting better at YOUR style and even selling their stupid ripped-off art. BUT ...lol at least it's badly drawn ...I've never seen a KAWAIINEKO COPIER that actually looked nice. So ...congrats guys at being ultimate fail.

BUT if you are STILL offended, well then, I'm sorry.

No, this tutorial wasn't copied off someone else's idea but YES I am aware of the amount of humorous tutorials going around. I only have the argument that Chari and I thought this up in April and did it in April, it's just fixed and uploaded now. I am doubly aware this didn't/doesn't deserve to be a DTF. And YES you can abuse me all you want about this, but I don't know how much fun you will have...because ...idk I don't really care lol.

That is all. =]
