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.

The faces of Mochi

I already sort of knew what her face would look like, but I couldn't decide on the hair. The 'do on the bottom left-hand corner with the arrow pointing at it is the one that I ended up going with. The one in the upper right-hand corner is her with her hair tied back, and below that and a little to the left is the front view of the same. To the right of that is her with her hair tied down low at the sides. There is also a side view of her hair tied to the sides, and above that is her with her hair tied high up up the sides.

More designs

Chou's design. I drew two different ones on the very top: one with high cheeks and one with low cheeks. I ended up picking the low ones, and then I drew the stuff below it. She looks only a little bit different from before. >_> Hopefully it'll stay like this.

Kisha

Going through some redesigning stages again, and this one turned out pretty well. The top picture is the first page that I drew, just messing around and trying to get the right hairstyle. (You can tell because it's really messy -_-;) I like the girl with the short wavy/curly hair, but I wanted this character to have long hair, so then I drew the next page.


This one above here is what I'll most likely go with, although I'll probably change it around before long. The face is also pretty much settled, but as you can see I drew each one a bit differently, so I'm fiddling with that aspect as well. So much fiddling! But I'm hoping that I'll hit on something that I'll never want to change. ...Yeah right. (._.)

"Direct thy Feet..."

"...where thou and I may henceforth never meet."

It's probably obvious where this quote came from. After reading it, I was inspired to draw this picture. He's probably not wearing the right clothes, but he's certainly wearing the right expression.

As you can tell, I'm still working on perspective as it relates to the figure. >_> Got a ways to go...

(2007, pencil & paper)

More Sketches

These are based on various quadrapeds, and I drew them from pictures. Except for the horse head, which I just doodled for fun.

Demon

I've been working on this one for a while. It's not that she was hard to draw, but that I couldn't decide on how many horns and spikes she had. (>_>);

Pencil on paper.

Mochi - Now with added cloak!

This is Mochi with her cloaking thing on. Also, she has a mask. I decided to define her features under it a bit, which is a first for me. But I like how it turned out!

And... gone again

I'll be gone for about a week, so here are not one, but two new pictures for you to enjoy. ...Doesn't exactly cover an entire week, but oh well. (>_>);

The first I drew on the road, which was actually quite difficult. (*_*) It's a bit smeary because it's all graphite. Um.. not really sure what my inspiration was for this one.

The second is just a simple sketch with clean lines. It's a lot lighter in person but I had to darken it in Photoshop so that you peeps could see it. This may or may not become a panel in a comic that I'm working on.
In one of the many comics that I'm working on. (-_-)

Relaxing

Chou and some dude that I can't say anything about otherwise it would ruin the story. (>_>) I forgot to draw in the grass on the hill but it looks pretty good anyway. This is an older drawing so the style is a bit different. I still like it though. (^_^)

Water Nymph

I just finished this drawing today! It took me a while, what with all the details and shading and stuff. I like the little crab and bird in the foreground and background. ^_^

This picture isn't from any particular part of my stories, I just drew her 'cause I wanted to.

The pose was kinda hard to get right, because perspective on a human like figure is difficult for me. >_>

The water was fun to do. =^_^=

A Dream

This is part of a dream that a character of mine has. The girl standing there is the character but she's an older version. She's also supposed to be like Native American and so I put some symbols in the drawing. The horse is a symbol for the spirit, the sun is being clouded over, a symbol of bad times coming. Even though this is an older drawing, I did really well with the shading on this picture, and the grass turned out well. ^_^ I'm not too fond of the girl, I think she looks a little funky, but eh, she's not too bad.

Also, this isn't supposed to be a gory picture or anything, that's not what I was goin for.

Frost Rabbit

This was literally a pattern of the frost on a window. O_o
If you look at it as the dark parts being window, then you can kinda see it. I didn't change anything about the pattern, or at least, I tried to copy as well as I could. ^_^ This sketch is pretty recent.

I used a regular no. 2 pencil, with a mechanical pencil with no. 5 lead for the little details. (Like the frost pattern on the right side) I had to darken it in Photoshop a bit 'cause it didn't scan well. What you see is pretty much what it looks like on paper.

Dreaming

This is based on a dream that one of my characters has. It's also the second attempt at drawing Nita, and this one is closer than the one I drew before it, but not as close as the other one that I posted before this. Confused? Doesn't really matter.

On a side note, I've been trying to get more backgrounds in my work, but this one's just silly. >_> The water turned out pretty well, though.

Fire Bird that is different from the Phoenix

I did this picture before the phoenix and even before the dragon. It's for a story. (>_>) It took a while to get the body proportions right, but it turned out pretty well. The feathers also turned out well, especially the tail. The bird's a little more blank-faced than I had hoped, but oh well.

Fire birds aren't that different from phoenixes (Phoenai? I guess there shouldn't really be a plural form).

Oh, and once again, ignore the writing. It's just notes to myself. (o_o) I suppose I could erase it in Photoshop but then it would look like I erased something. I made the paper too smudgy, you see. (._.)

Nita

I've been trying to draw this character from another story that I'm working on, a different one from the one with the goat and cat and bird peoples. This is the best I've been able to get, and it's still not her! >_<

Oh well, I'll keep trying. At least I get to practice drawing backgrounds. (Which I suck at) I've been trying to make my drawings more dynamic, but I dunno, they always turn out to be way mellower than I was hoping. ._.

I have a few older sketches of Nita (This one is really recent) that I may or may not post at a later time. >_> Depends on whether I feel like being laughed at or not.

Oh, and see that fold in the upper right corner? Yeah. I'm kinda an enthusiastic artist. <_< Ah well, it makes it more authentic.

Sheeeeep! Lady.

I was feeling whimsical today, thus this drawing. I drew it a while ago, in a sudden fit of wooly inspiration. We do keep sheep and goats, which is probably where the idea came from. I didn't do their cuteness justice. Kawaiii! T_T Her eyes are pretty accurate though. You should see when they get mad at you! >_<'

When it rains...

...Well, it rains, I guess. But this picture was drawn a year ago (06), so I don't remember what the weather was. -_- I know that it was raining on my soul though. Jk, I don't remember that either. It might have been snowing, for all I know. ^_^
