Gift for Sammwich [WIP - Ink]

Sorry for the lack of updates u_u Really havent been drawing lately with spending all my time revising. Gah.

But yes. This is a gift for my friend Sam :) She's always there for me to randomly chat with, or talk to if something up and I dont appreciate her enough! Plus at the moment she has exams atm so I thought I would draw her something to make her smile (well, I hope this makes her smile! xD)

Colouring it in photoshop now <3>

Chii-chan [Finished Picture]

[ Tools used: black ink pen (width 0.38), letraset markers, prismacolor markers, karismacolor pencils ]

Well this is the finished version! Hasnt taken long to do at all, and it was very nice to draw indeed. Rather relaxing. Its been so long since I properly sat down and drew something traditionally and I really enjoyed getting back to markers again, very much, as well as a piece which is more fun than serious and detailed :D I don't often do fanart but a watcher had suggested doing a chobits piece so.. why the heck not xD

I do apologise for the poor quality scan though. I scanned at 300dpi but.. yes. Sadly my scanner loves to eat anything I put in it so its still immensly grainy even at this small size.. :(

(May make a wallpaper of this actually.. who knows :3 )

So.. enjoy! :)

Chii-chan [ink / WIP]

Well people have been suggesting I draw more fanart. I'm in a really big art rut at the moment, and finding it hard to draw at all (seriously. Like I've forgotten how to draw... D= )

So.. yes. Tonight I just started idly doodling, rather than trying to force a doodle out and chii-chan showed up ^_^; Chobits was the first manga I read, and the first manga series I completed reading, hehe :3

So yes. This is the ink, and I'll be marker colouring it probably. I could use the practice :)

Enjoy!

From sketch to finished picture! :) Fernelda commission

Well this is the progression of a commission I have just finished right from preliminary sketch to finished painted photoshop drawing, with a few more WIPs than I've already posted :) You can see the progression a little better :3 I've never done one of these before (i.e. lots of WIPs) properly so.. yes. Cool lol. Really really happy with how the final piece has turned out. So proud of it! :D

Well, enjoy!

Commission [WIP] + "Son of Dragons" [INK, WIP]

Well this first piece is an ink. I will be selling this finished traditional piece because from about mid April on I need to scrounge together whatever money I can x_x; Not looking forward to it lol. Bleh. But yes. This ink is "Son of Dragons". The dragon you see inked on the right is the same one as on his tattoo, but because of the small scale (its A6 IRL) I was not able to ink it so well. Eep. But yes, I look forward to colouring this. :)



Another progress shot from the commission I'm working on at the moment! Really having fun on it :) she needs the rest of her hair though hehe!

Thats all for now, enjoy! :D

Commission WIP

This is the final sketch from the commission image I posted in my last sketchblog :)

My tablet is on the blink at the moment but I'm still attempting to draw it digitally in Photoshop *sigh* Here's hoping it randomly STOPS spazzing out soon, ugh.

But here for now is the sketch. Pretty happy with it, and the commissioner is liking hows its turning out too, yay :)

That's all for now!

Commission WIP

Its been a while.. whoops! ^^;

But here is a sketch for a commission I'm currently working on :) Going to be digitally drawn up, when I have the time. I went way overboard on the details on the face / ears, because I had altitle time on my hands, lol, but eh. Ah well! Very fun commission so far :)

Still have a little work to do on the sketch before I can draw it up in Photoshop, but yes. Really enjoying it so far! Havent used a reference for facial features, but I did use one for the expression, hurr :3 Yay realism <3

Thats all for now, catch you later!

Nana Osaki [Final Piece]

Nana Osaki from NANA x) I haven't seen the anime; I've read a little bit of the manga and seen the first movie and.. wow. Mika Nakashima is the most perfect person to play Nana O, it's untrue o-o

Idk. I guess I thought I'd do a little tribute art xD

I sketched/inked it the night before last, and coloured it yesterday.. I think it took about 4 hours in total :) I had fun with it, and the only thing that hindered my progress was the paper bleeding continually (even though it's supposed to be bleedproof *sigh* ¬_¬ ) so.. yes. There was quite a lot of colour bleeding over the outside lines (which I edited out here..).. I guess its not too bad but it is noticeable and really annoyed me :/

The pleated skirt was so much fun to do. I've never coloured taertan before but damn, it's so immensely awesome to do I may just have to draw it again sometime soon xDDDD <33333333>

Cloud Strife

A little doodle I did on Christmas Day ^_^ I love drawing Cloud, he's totally schmexy <3>

"Lonely Horizons" [Finished Piece] + "Ascend" [WIP]

This is the finished version of the last work I showed, titled Lonely Horizons. Had a lot of fun doing this even though it's quite a personal piece :/ I deliberately posted this on DeviantART on "Valentines Day". Anyway. Enjoy.

Secondly I have a sketch of a picture I'll be titling "Ascend". Currently lining this in Photshop :)

Anyway, that's all for now. Enjoy!

WIP [No title yet]

I've had some trying times recently, especially this past month. It's kind of been.. hell. I've been drawing a lot of personal things lately and this is one such thing. I sketched it last night, and this is the result of an hour or two of painting. It looks very different from the sketch actually - the character here has a much more mature facial structure, whereas the one in the sketch seemed much younger and had freckles.. Idk. I just go with the flow lol. Either way I'm pretty proud of it so far, and I hope I manage to finish it soon. Thought I'd post a preview of what I had so far, anyway.

Enjoy

Blending practice (with Letraset Markers)

Ok, so this one was a pen doodle in my sketchpad so I could try and improve using my Letraset marker pens. Theyre.. really crap, honestly o-o; Very hard to blend and they dry very quickly - Ideally Id love copics, I usually use Prismacolours though, which are cheaper but do work well. Ive had prismas for a while, so I need to get used to my Letrasets because I use them together. The only reason I have them is because I had no skin colours (or reds) whatsoever and they were the only markers available at the time, so I bought a few. So, uh.. yes. Need to practice with them, and this was a little quick try :)

It actually looks really pretty IRL. The cloours blend really smoothly and everything looks very bright and colourful so.. yes. T'is hopeful :D

...Man I really want some copics though.. ^_^;

Anyway, enjoy :)

"Demon Ball" Ink

"Rebirth" [Finished Piece]

This is ahead of the image being posted up on DeviantART tomorrow. You guys get a special advance preview, just 'cos :P

So this is the finished version of "Rebirth". It didnt come out as I'd intended (hell, does it ever ¬_¬; ), she was initially supposed to be emerging from a pool of dark water, the background and the pool/ ripples of water simply faded into black. but.. eh. That never happened lol. Yay for generic starry backgrounds, right? o-o; Well anyway.

Enjoy! :D

"Lonely Portrait" WIP 2

Current WIP of Lonely Portrait :) Nowhere near completion lol. Ah well. I don't think it'll turn out that great, if I'm honest, but at least it's practice on skin and backgrounds! *chuckleS*

Enjoy :)

"Rebirth" ink + "Redemption" ink

Inked in the Rebirth sketch :)

I'm currently digitally colouring it. At the moment I'm just colouring in the scanned ink. But that might look a bit shoddy so.. I may reline the entire thing. I should probably paint it up linelessly but I have a hankering for using lines. ^_^; We shall see. xD;

Also, here's the finished version of that priestess :) Titled "Redemption". Probably wont colour this one but I know a few other people are attempting ^^

Anyway :D

Enjoy!

"Rebirth" sketch

Current WIP :) Idea sprang into my head this afternoon and it just wouldn't go away. Ive been having a lot of really nice ideas lately, but this is the one that stuck, and annoyed me, and pestered me and would not go away until I'd taken out my sketchpad and drawn it! So sketch it I did :) I'm about to start on the ink now, but I always, always scan pencil stuff if I'm near my scanner, because I'm so scared of screwing up when I ink! So.. its like having a digital copy of the sketch before I screwed up, you know? xD

Anyway. ^^; The theme, is rebirth. :) It's quite a personal piece, I'll admit, and I'm hoping to ink it by hand, and paint it up digitally afterwards (whether just colouring in the ink, or painting from fresh, I'm not sure yet). So.
For now, that's all :)

"Lonely Portrait" WIP

Hay folks :) Sorry for lack of updates, lots of things have been kicking off lately. Lifes really hectic, I'm not feeling too great and before yesterday I hadn't drawn for two weeks. Appalling, I know ^^;

So here's a current WIP. I started it last night. I'm not sure what the background will be though u_u; But I hope to finish it soon, I'm making such an effort on it! I know it's not proper realism, I'm not good enough (yet) for that but this sort of semi/fantasy-realism is what I really enjoy at the moment. ^_^ Its so fun to draw :D The ear has been the funnest part yet, surprisingly! Hehe! ^_^

Enjoy! :D

lovelove <3>

Nothing special. Just a sketch I did yesterday at Rhinne's house of my new husky fursona. Still names Nymeria :) But a new fursona. The old one has stopped being.. "me" as much I guess ^_^;

So yes. Enjoy. The pouch is an enlarged version of the one around her neck. Carries all sorts of helpful and cool things in it, even though its only tiny ;)

Awaty from 20th - 30th of December

Going skiing tomorrow :D So yes. Away as of now xD Will be back on the 30th, so Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Hope you're all well, lots of love :D

"Dragons Roost" bg

Well, I've been needing to practice landscapes on account of me being a bit pants at backgrounds, lol, so.. here's some practice. ^^; Also supposed to be a dragon in this one - I need practice at those too >_>;; But that went horrendously wrong lol. So just the background for now. Enjoy

"c l e a n s e"

Feeling pretty crap lately. So I just.. doodled. x_x; Havent had much tiome to draw lately and it's been weeks since I put pen to tablet and had fun in Photoshop. ^^; So just a little something to tr make myself feel better, and make sure I'm not going too rusty lol. Nothing special but enjoy :)

"priestess" WIP

Soo... >_> Yea. I know I havent posted in a while. I'm finding it hard to draw lately. I'm not great at time management so I havent been leaving time for art, aka the thing that keeps me sane. Bad idea, really! ^^;

But either way, I was feeling really shitty last night - terrified and confused and pretty upset. So I picked up my sketchpad and drew, and this is what came from my pencil. It's nowhere near finished, but I thought this would be something nice to see. So, enjoy it :)

Tanz der Schmetterlinge ("Dance of the Butterflies") [finished piece]

"Tanz der Schmetterlinge"

(In English this translates to "Dance of the Butterflies")

(Please full view! :3)

Hehe ^_^ Haven't even posted this up on DeviantART yet (will probably post tomorrow), but I thought I'd share it here, and over at my portfolio on Talent Database today :)

Well, I started this on the 13th of June: that's one day short of five months ago. Five months, I know! So long ^_^; But I put a lot of effort into this one. I wanted to make it really dynamic, and such. Tried hard on the anatomy, and for those eagle-eyed observant watchers out there, the flowy hair was inspired by the style of Lono-momo who is one of my favourite artists and greatest inspirations :) Admittedly... she does a better job than me, but.. still ^^; It was most fun to do. Really love long flowing hair :) Also tried hard on the colouring. Did this using PrismaColor markers, and KarismaColor pencil crayons ^^ And to say I did it on paper which isn't bleedproof, I think I did well xD This was pretty much one of my first marker pictures attempted :) Though.. I can see mistakes everywhere I look I think it's still a good effort ^^;

Here's to the future, ne? I really am proud of this. I look forward to what I can achieve in the future, for sure! ^__^

Enjoy! :D

"v e i l" / Mako + Kai sketches / "k a i" (final piece)

Can't remember what prompted me to draw a pose like this (Im sure you can see the date, it is over a month old afterall, eheh), but it was mainly to draw the hair, which was inspired when I saw a fantastic pencil-artist on DeviantART who did the most fantastic hair! Really stylised and original ^^ So I tried a more blocky approach to hair in this quick sketch :) Had fun but I don't think it's really quite my style, I'll keep to my usual methods *chuckles*

This second set of sketches was my hand entertaining itself in Biology class, coupled with my mind's desire to draw Yaoi *laughs* Obviously I couldn't draw Yaoi in class, especially since everyone looks over my shoulder when I draw, so I contented myself with a few rough figure sketches of Kai and Makoto (Left to right: Kai, Makoto, Kai holding Makoto). Have to say I hate the one on the right. Looked so pretty in my head! Came out so badly as a sketch, though I suppose it's ok for something I didn't even refine ^^; The one of Kai on the left, you may recognise from my DeviantART gallery, or my Y!Gallery as the picture below:

Well thats all for now, so enjoy! :D

Enjoy!

Love <3>

Yaaay |D

Kay. After months of forgetting, I've created (finally, lol) a blog here, so I can have a blog purely for art - sketches, WIP's, character references (lol, like I ever manage to finish those >_> ) and other art I just generally feel like posting. And so on :P

So. Welcome, and enjoy :)

love <3
