Toki's Valentine

Well, I was wondering what I ought to submit for Valentine's Day, since I rarely do holiday pictures. I thought, "What better thing than to feature my adorable character Toki from my webcomic Heart Candy?" It sounded super fitting as the title of my webcomic IS, after all, HEART Candy. lol!

For those of you curious, you can read the webcomic here: [link]
It is going under a re-vamping, so no new updates at the moment...
BUT, you get to see the new look for Toki here before you even see the re-vamp of the comic!

I actually really enjoyed doing this one, since I did it so lovingly. I absolutely adore my character Toki. ^^ I also enjoyed it because this is a mixture of both Digital and Traditional work. My two passions all put into one!

To get things straight though:
NO. He is not Chinese. Sorry, but China is not the only culture to wear shoes like that.
YES. He did not have a tail in the original version. But now he does. lol
MAYBE, Toki is gay or maybe he is not. Mac, on the other hand, is bisexual.
YES. Toki has ALWAYS been BLONDE and his scarf has ALWAYS been BLUE.
NO. Toki did not always have pink eyes. But now in this version, he will.

For those of you wondering, that heart Toki is holding may or may not have come from Mac. Who knows? (I am not HINTING at anything or something... >___>)
