There's a lot to improve. Let's see...

• I want to try different styles for lining and colouring. The one I've used here is pretty "anime standard". Example: I would like to try a more delicate, soft colouring style sometime. Like Matcha Hazuki's, mostly famous for the One Week Friends.
  
  
• Faces pretty much define a character, so there's always room to improve how much variety I can add on that.
  
  
• Hair is still pretty troublesome to work with. Particularly, curly ones.
  
  
• For background, I can do nature just fine, but city scapes take a lot of time. I've just got a book on that as a present, so hopefully, I'll improve on that.
  
  
• I need to improve my sense of fashion - for both guys and girls. It's not a problem on most fanarts, but for original ones...
  
  
• On the past few years, I've noticed that perspective works a bit differently on manga. While the concepts are the same (ex: vanishing points), it is way more exagerated on manga. I need to work on that as well, so it does not become bland.
  
  There's a lot more I could say, but I'll stop here. Regardless, thanks for the compliment!

FYI, windows computers are pretty cheap. I have 7 of these and I LOVE them https://www.amazon.com/Azulle-Quantum-Access-Windows-storage/dp/B00X4O6GRK


When I go to anime / comic conventions I set all my games to run on these sticks and leave them on for 3-4 days straight.

Here's me showing it playing "Pulsen" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fovypqLsW_o


But I've tried other micro PC's that were terrible, the Quantum Access is the only one I like. We build dance pads and I was extremely interested in making a plug n play dance pad, but that required getting a tiny PC that would auto-run the software. My kids have one in each of their rooms as well and they love them, we also use one for our employees time-clock. If you need a cheap PC for macro this is the best.

> And i certainly dont remember macroing back in the day on my SNES

Sure we did. This is how most people did it:

Find a safe spot, put a c-clamp or the like on an autofire controller. I remember doing that in Zelda II on nes. My fave one was an RPG by Falcom (Who made Ys), Dragon Slayer, Legend of Heroes. It didn't really use random encounters, monsters moved on the overworld. There was a town where they just had an infinite stream of monsters. So I would get infront of it, and tape down the attack button.

Besides that though, we also had these types of devices:

You could program simple macros into them. http://segaretro.org/Power_Plug

There's a book I read to help me learn anatomy a bit (I'm a 3D Artist), but it focuses on figure drawing. It could probably help out your anatomy and posing and you might be able to pick up some tricks about shading in there as well, but the focus is more on anatomy and form. There's even a section at the end that covers drapery (cloth) as well. Here's a link if you want to check it out:

Oh my god who cares?

Let me guess, you read a trope on TVtropes once and assume any time a female character can heal it's some horrible sexist stereotype?

Meanwhile, there's an enormous history of women in the western tradition (as well as much of the eastern tradition) as healers, midwives, and other kind of medicinal practioners. Go read "The Woman as Healer" if you want to understand just a fraction of why this is a commonly promoted idea.

Lots of ways to buid these machines. But there's already a much simpler method if you want to use Arduino Wich is very cheap.
Buy any: Teensy, or ATMega 32u4 compatible Arduino Board, connect to device to emulate an external HID device, and use Mouse and/or Keyboard library to send the clicks/touches. For clicks you can programmatically move the mouse cursor to desired position and send click.

EDIT: No PC or emulator is needed,, Android supports external HID devices, you may need an USB adapter "male micro-USB, female Type-A".

EDIT2: There's also a subreddit Arduino community to help in any detail or situation. I can also help.

20 hours of maintenance? Learn me a Japanese

Yah yah suuuure. That's a very likely story. Go buy Google Docs for Dummies. You sure could use it.

And an iron. And of course, some pixel art.

You mean this?

I have one of these guys at home and may see if I can attach some sponge or something to one of the fabric blades: https://www.amazon.com/Vornado-Zippi-Personal-Fan-Black/dp/B000E19MQ8

Man, you need to chill.

Go buy this book and send me the receipt.

No.

Spirits Withing was NOT the first FF movie.

THIS WAS.

No worries. :) Once you are able to purchase a tablet to begin with, you might want to look into the Turcom 8" x 5" Pro Graphic Drawing Tablet (https://www.amazon.com/Turcom-Graphic-Drawing-Capture-Sensitive/dp/B008Y40DQU) - it's relatively cheap and an art channel I follow recommended it for beginners though I do not have experience with using it. From what I've heard, it's very good for it's price but it has its faults and bugs.
