I did this sketch while I was making the NBTSC T-Shirt logo. I'm currently in the process of inking it. I apologize for the crappy picture, I had to use my camera because my scanner hates me.
Blue hipster skirt done! Hoozah! Picture taken in my messy messy apt.
A batch of pickled jalapeños.
A sketched out painting! It's two canvases side by side, and both were severely smudged. The one on the right I painted gesso over the smudges and lightly over the lines. I started doing that to the one on the left as well.
Yes. Today was a varied day.
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)
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.
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.
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.
I was looking through my sketch book for things to ink, and this is one of the sketches I ended up inking. I did it as fast as I could, without thinking about anything much really, and I like how loose it turned out to be.
In this one I re-did her face, which I wanted to be longer and more like a wild cat. (I drew the cat head on this page from a picture of an Arabian wildcat.) Translated her front view into a profile as well. And I did little drawing of Chou above Toh'ra's head, just to see if they looked good together. Which I think they do, more so now than before. ^_^
Here, since Toh'ra is a dancer, I did some dance poses. Usually she uses her moves to attack people, so I had to think of ones that could do some serious damage. I did some research on belly dance and all that, but I couldn't find much of the traditional stuff. Mostly just American versions, which are way too feminine and weak for a character like Toh'ra. Her dances need to have power and raw energy!
An update to her costume. She still needs more dangly and jingly things! Also did a quick sketch of just some random dancer lady. It's not a very strong pose, so I probably won't use it for Toh'ra. At the bottom of the page: Toh'ra's wind-up and attack! Just to see how these moves flow.
That's it for now! (>_<)/
This is a quick sketch that I did of Vera. Surprisingly enough, I didn't change any of her design this time around, even though that seems to happen every time I draw one of my characters. (-_-)
No, the thing that changed this time around was the style. I don't know if I'll keep drawing her like this, but it was fun to do all the same.
I might get around to coloring this at some point.
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.
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.
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. (._.)
And today's theme is, surprise surprise, rabbits. I only wonder why I waited this long to draw them. >_> I haven't decided on a face type, but the bodies are basically what I'll use in the final version. Arg, should I use straight or floppy ears? Or inbetween? >o<; How can someone decide something like that?
"...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)
This is a very strange expression she has. Is she grimacing or grinning? >_> Even I don't know.
If you have never seen a red panda before, you are seriously missing out. They are actually more closely related to the raccoon family, but eat mostly bamboo, and thus are referred to as pandas. All I can say is EEEEE KAWAII!!! >_< !!! The picture I drew was based off the one at the top of this page. I didn't capture all of it's cuteness. T_T But I'm hoping that it will look better in color.
The various faces of noble women. You can see Chou there, on the right-hand side, striking a particularly absurd facial expression. ^_^ Oh and on the bottom right-hand, underneath Chou, is a drawing of our newest horse, Sa'id (sa-eed). He's probably just as noble as the rest of 'em.
Got a new Deviant Art username, it's ArtUsagiChan, to go along with my blog and stuff.
Today's blog entry is a sketch of a python, drawn somewhat in a personified style. I say "somewhat" because there's only so much you can do with a snake. It has no legs for crying out loud!
On a related note, pythons are cool.
