das unbedingte

It's time for another update! Last update of the year, woo! I've had this blog for two and a half years. Wow. I'm impressed I could keep it up this long. I really like this blog, I hope I can continue with it in the future. I had a sketchblog many years ago that lasted maybe over a year or so before I quit. But it's fun to post stuff I wouldn't normally post, so here's to another year. Enjoy.


I found that when I had to listen to lectures online for my Kosher & Halal foods class, drawing while listening helps. And I like doing speedpaints, they're fun. Not my photo, make no claims, etc etc. Just for practice.


My first foray into Illustrator in a long time. I love molas, could you tell?


From oCing with Felix. Fericksu, I miss you ~


Second thing done in Illustrator; a new opening for my site. I like how it turned out, but maybe not for my opening page, so it may change. Still, I find Illustrator to be really infuriating coming from a painter's perspective.


Saw pictures of interesting Nepali dress and wanted to get the same feel with the colors and shapes. I guess it's not meant to be anthropological, because I admit my failure of knowledge about Nepali clothes and designs, just meant to be optically appealing :p


Tiny sketch. Human Axel, with massive sideburns to make up for the lost ears. I got a new scanner, and this is one of the first things I scanned - not too sure I like it :/ meh.


For those of you who don't know, I started fencing. I'm terrible at it. Rhys would be better. Here's Rhys in a lunge.


Not a great pic, but it's something. I'm mildly obsessed with Magic Knight Rayearth again. Hikaru and her dark heart counterpart, Nova.


Mildly obsessed? Ok, I'm a bit nuts for it, forgive me some nostalgia and happiness. A new design for a slightly older Hikaru. She dresses like I used to dress when I was 16 :P


New Umi. They describe her as being beautiful like a model, so ok, I made her tall and lanky with legs that go forever and some stylish duds.


New Fuu. Wanted to get away from the shy-librarian look most people would assume for her, and just give her some casual clothes and some modern glasses.


Rayearth, Hikaru's Rune-God/Mashin, in his wolf/lion form. Horns + animals that don't usually have them = instant win, in my book.


Actually part of a gift for someone, but I assume they don't look here anymore so I feel safe sneaking it in here before I actually send it to them ;D


Sharks were my dolphins when I was a wee pupa. This is not a good representation of one. It looks like a unholy hybrid of a black-tipped reef shark and a common dolphin.


Sketch of Iibe, who is Jormei's wife... I have plans for her, I think~~~ She doesn't pla a role in my main story, but I thought about writing Jormei's story as a separate entity. *plots*

nuggets of joy

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!
(for ~SHARK-ARMY on deeay~)



I seem to have forgotten how to draw feet. forgive me yvonel ;A;


I have no excuse.


If all else fails, draw crazy fish.



Silliness for someone on deeaye~ Rhys is such a DORK.


I got this manila drawing paper and wanted to try it out.. yeah. Atmospherically I like it, however I need to learn anatomy.


Just some silliness XD Rhys, Solais and Stevfan are all from Eydna, so ummm I think Stevfan is making a comment on Rhys's kilt or something.


inspired by hedwig~~

first post of the new year!

Yay!

I've had this blog for almost a year and a half! Woo! Let's celebrate with lots of new arts. All one of us that visits here :D That's ok, I sorta like posting crap just for myself.

I've been trying to sketch a lot.

God I love drawing. When I can get into that groove I feel awesome.

Yeah this is a lot for only a few days. Well, it's called being on winter break and having insomnia. Oh insomnia, I know thee too well.



More cultural story stuff. Rahapurdan, I think I called them. Peoples living in the deep south of Ensanctyse.


I am, indeed, a shark.


Because I just love drawing fishes and weird shit so much. Also, mola-mola fish are the coolest fish in the universe. That is a very sad representation of one.



It's an Rmassssss (also Рмас) XD Я люблю Рмас!


A small sketch of Axel I really, really liked. I think it's one of the few times I've mangaed to make him look feminine but not girly.


Because I just can't get enough fish. Practice, etc


So I'm doing yet another late meme - 100 Themes Challenge. You know, for the lulz and all, because it gets me sketching more I guess? No biggie, I'm not gonna kill myself over it. Anyway, number LXXV (75) Mirror. Awwww Rhys has body issues. He can't grow facial hair to save his life.


Number XXXIV (35): Stars. (billions and billions of them!) It's supposed to be Carl Sagan But I don't know how much it looks like him :/


Number XXXVII (38): Eyes.



Possibly Number II (2): Love? Axel and Rhys, again~



Number LXII (62): Magic. Jormei and his fire magic. He's blowing smoke out his mouth and nose too :O


Have I ever mentioned how much I love penguins? I do. Have some emperor penguins and a young Laudon with his frizzy hair XD



More Cassandrah - face study plus EVIL PSYCHOTIC GRIN


Solais in Ensanctyse, trying to study but she keeps getting distracted because the winter weather outside reminds her of her homeland Eydna.

Phew.
