Sunshine on Summertime

SUNSHIIIINE ON SUUUUUMEEEERRTIIIIIIIIIIMEEEE~

HAHA, I'M FREE FROM COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

Title pulled from DEEN's song of the same title.

Anyway, I've got an odd variety of things to show off in this update. In lieu of school, I've taken it upon myself to begin drawing from photographs again...and then moving on to actually drawing from life. So first up are some studies...


The first of them: Nothing...too spectacular, here. I think I screwed-up on the arms for both of the women I drew here. Keanu Reeve's face is kind of weird, too. They look nice, though.

More women. I think these turned out better than that first page, save for those hideous looking hands.

I think this page is filled with fantastic things. The drawing of Yuki Kajiura on the left turned out swell, as did the woman on the right. The faces up top are all varying in quality.

HEY LOOK, COLOR. I think the only decent things on this page are the woman's face in the top-left, and the woman in the bottom-right.

SO NOW LET'S SWITCH GEARS INTO ANIMU MODE.

I realized I'd never scanned this in before, and it's many weeks old: It's a concept drawing for a character idea I'd been tinkering with for Rose Hero - Blue Adonis, complete with a terrible color scheme. It needs some adjusting.

An extension of the character concept for Blue Adonis. Design ideas for Reed.
Complete with a really awkward, out-of-proportion drawing of his head and neck in the bottom-right.

HEY LOOK, COLOR: I'd drawn-up this page with the intent of doing a flat coloring job for part of it. Here we've got Red Adonis, represented roughly in color.

I have no idea how digital coloring works, and it remains a debilitating weakness.

The top of this page was just a quick observational drawing of the space outside of one of my classes this quarter. The rest of it...well, I don't know what it is. The drawing of Sarah slouched-down pleases my eyes, though.

SO NOW LET'S SWITCH GEARS ONE LAST TIIIIME~

So, last month (or was it early this month?) I was in a Tinychat with some friends I'd made back at Sakuracon. During the course of the Tinychat, everyone decided that we should draw pictures of each other.

So that's what I did. I gave girls tiny bodies and made them look like Mii's, or emphasized their favorite names for me.

I made Harry Potter a MANLY STORY FOR MANLY MEN SUCH AS MYSELF, and also made another friend a MANLY MAN CAPABLE OF MANLY FEATS SUCH AS CONQUERING THE UNKNOWN.

Seriously, man. Eyepatches. Eyepatches just make people look cooler.

And this...this is special. That's also a man, underneath all of that.


AND WITH THAT, I'LL CLOSE THIS UPDATE.
Why the Hell haven't I started a comic yet?

  1. I've been meaning to say something for a while about this. Your noses... There's something distinctive about your noses. Most visual artists seem to have some kind of "tell." Like, even if you know nothing about visual art or the style of certain artist, you can still recognize an artist's work based on that one quality. For you, it's noses. That's not to say I think they are bad or good noses - they're just distinctive.

    Anyway, I thought you might be interested to know that I could identify your work anywhere so long as there is a nose attached to a face somewhere on the page.
