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*
