Progress

Cut out all the circles and stuff! Oh and the rabbit is fully sewed down.

The Lineup

Sketches of my characters all on one page. I focussed on the height, weight and build differences, as well as the distinctive physical characteristics and personalities of each character that would make differentiating between them easy.

Of course, most of them have had at least one design change since then. Thinking about changing the art style too. And I drew this about a week ago.

The drawing gets a little weird around the edges and is not very dark because I had to take a picture of it. The sketchbook by far is the largest I have ever owned and will definitely not fit in the scanner. (o_o)

Japanese princess pt. 2

The next stage: inking on acetate. I've never done it before but it was necessary for the plan I've got for this piece. It is a really weird feeling - at first I had so much trouble with depth perception, but I've gotten used to it now. Eh.

You can see the sketch that I taped underneath, the one that I posted earlier.

I'll post progress as I get further.

A Princess

Mostly Japanese inspired, esp. her clothing. This is the start of a very cool picture which is going to be taking up all my time as it's for a contest that ends very shortly.

Muscle man

I don't like drawing this type of thing and I never really have, but a situation came up where I had to. Here is my warm-up sketch of a muscle man.


This is something that I did for fun afterwards. Yes, I know his right hand is messed up.

He's one of my characters that's supposed to be buff, but I never really drew it in until now. It was handy to do this as a reference.

New sketches

Of my bird girl. I'm planning on inking the one on the bottom right.

Fire elf in ink

Fire elf, demon, a warrior in a fierce matriarchal society, whatever. It's inked and crosshatched to hell, and I have mixed feelings about it. Let's just say that sometimes I really wish there was an undo command in real life.

This pic is actually a modern revision of an old picture of mine. I always liked the concept, but I didn't pull it through very well the first time. Eh, well it's a bit better this time... I guess I'll have to redo this again in a year or two and see if I get it once and for all.

Picture progress

Bit of background changes, lines cleaned up, and some facial adjustments.

Something is revealed...

Progress on that design I had laid out! I'll bet you can hazard a guess about what it is now.

Inky Dancer

Several posts ago, I put up a sketch of this dancer lady. I tried to go for a sumi-e look with the inking style. She looks a little funny but I like how her skirt turned out.

A new pic in progress

Yes, yes, I know. I have more than enough pictures "in progress". But this one suddenly popped into my head, so I had to go with it. It's fault, not mine. (^_^)v

It was originally supposed to be Kisha, one of my characters, but it doesn't really look like her anymore, so it'll probably just be member of Kisha's clan or something.

Note that I didn't start with any lines, and I'm trying to make it more realistic looking than usual. Except for the pink hair.

I would have posted this sooner, but she didn't have anything decent on and I'm trying to keep this a children-friendly blog XD

Sewing stuff

Somehow, all my dolls turn out to be "creepy-cute". I really like how the mouth turned out, though! <3 Is he frowning... or smiling?
And... what's this? A design layout for... something! I'm not telling what. :P Really, I'm making more of a deal out of it that is necessary. But it's fun! More will be revealed - later.


In other news... I have discovered that there is a kind of deer that hunts and eats small mammals and birds! O_O And it looks so innocent!
