PH insanity and some OCs

Long time no post again, ugh... I've been drawing. Slowly and not that much. Let's see some sketches...

XD This is a "parody" of my own drawing of Glen, lolz. The original is in my deviantART gallery. I started this as a quick random scribble and when I posted it on DA, I somehow got lucky and it ended up in the most popular pics in the 8 hours interval, it had over 400 faves in a week. O___O

Jack and Glen. I drew this because of Kasia's comment on my previous Glen drawing. She said she wanted to do this to Glen. XD It's super quick (I drew it in about 1-2 minutes, I guess) and crappy, but I wanted to upload it here anyway, hehe.

Grumpy Alice is grumpy (or tsundere?). This is part of a bigger pic I plan on finishing soon. I still don't really like how her face turned out here. D:

Jack based on a panel from chapter 67. I just loved his expressions in this chapter so much I had to draw him. Maybe I'm finally starting to learn how to draw him. I really want to do a picture of him later, he's so cute. 8D

I revamped an old OC. It's a bit disappointing how little my style changed in 6 years, isn't it? D: I mean I've always been relatively good at drawing. Other people improve more in just half a year or so... OTL

This is a quick sketch of MauAcheron-the-crazy's character, Olivia. I don't like how her face came out and she looks too girly in my style. DX I drew her because she's one of the 3 characters I have to draw for a kiriban prize art. I've done 2 sketches for that pic already, but I just couldn't get them right for some reason. I feel guilty for not completing this request yet, because I've been sitting on that pic for about 2 months now... OTL

OH MY GOD!! Can you believe I drew VincentxAda smut?! Early in the morning I get fanart ideas like this. What the hell is wrong with me? -___- Vincent probably told her he'd show her some awesome magic spell which involves getting her undressed. 8DDD *shot* Uncle Oscaaaarrrr, your precious niece is about to get tainted!! D: I like this pairing even if Vincent is a "brother-obsessed creeper who buries his desires into vulnerable women". 8) And I actually like how this sketch came out, but I don't intend finishing it.

Woo~ That was a lot of... stuff. Pandora Hearts ate my brain a while ago, so most of it was PH again. I've been listening to a lot of Akiko Shikata songs while drawing lately. I'm also into Yuki Kajiura music again. Many of her songs remind me of winter, maybe because I watched PH in December 2 years ago, lol.

Anyway, here's a song by her I discovered just recently:

American edition of Fiction, WHY U NO HAVE THIS AWESOME TRACK?! FFFFUUUU

OC + PH scribbles

I've never had too many original drawings and lately, I draw my original characters less and less. I realized they aren't interesting. I'm not a very creative person, I can't create good characters and stories. And I also lost contact with a very dear friend of mine, who used to inspire me and give me ideas. Our friendship was the strongest in 2009, we had fun talking about anything and I was looking forward for these good times to return, but I guess they never will return now. Anyway, it's still fun to draw some of these old characters we used to "shape" together and I always draw some random characters as well.

So, this is a random guy I drew just because. I like how my style is changing~

I tried to draw two of my old OCs in some fancy Victorian / Pandora Hearts-y outfit, haha! Alec doesn't like too fancy outfits if he's the one who has to wear them. :P The whole thing is extra sketchy, but you can tell I got super lazy by the time I drew the girl's dress... OTL

Bitty Gil and Vincent from PH. I actually sketched this in August, but never posted it here. I made a few changes on it recently. I guess these are not the pre-Sablier Gil and Vince, they turned out looking more like their 13 and 14 years old selves.

Yanderepozu of ecstasy!! XDD This is a very popular meme thing on Pixiv lately. I don't know where it came from originally, but after seeing Gil and Echo/Noise , I had to do a quick scribble of Vincent, this expression is just so damn fitting for him. 8D

And this is a huge-ass sketch I did in September. It's Vincent (WHO ELSE?! XD) with Echo and Noise, a bit of a spoiler. Believe it or not, this was inspired by Kasia's drawing. <- When I saw this, I got the urge to draw Vincent spilling some drink, lol.

In this past one year, Vincent seems to have taken most of my attention I spend on fanart. I can imagine Vincent, Gil and Break fighting for the first place in my mind with Vincent winning and clinging to Gil while he's also trying to kick Break out of the picture at the same time. XD I must admit that Vincent is really fun for me to draw and I have the most and probably best fanart ideas with him.Gaaah!!

Today, I decided to marathon Gintama and watched like 10 episodes straight since I'm pretty behind with the 2nd season (and I still have like 6-7 episodes to catch up). Has this series always had such crude humour? I mean what's up with all the dick and shit jokes? Anyway, sometimes I find it very tiring, but hysterically funny at other times. In my opinion, the cursed Blu-ray episode has got to be one of the dullest episodes in the 2nd season so far and I also don't like the episodes where they are fighting over food, but I really liked the story about the warden. These prison episodes tend to be pretty good in Gintama, I guess.
I also started watching Black Jack. I haven't watched much of it yet, but this cartoony "old manga" style is kinda fun, lol.

There are a couple of birds in our park that sing at dawn and dusk every day. I have no idea what kind of birds they are and I don't even remember hearing them before, but they are really sweet. ^___^ And they sing almost every day, even though the real autumn has begun a few days ago.

Also, ham flavored crackers are the tastiest things I've eaten in a while. Even better than the cheese flavored one. 8D

VincexLotti + Photos

I'd like to apologize to everyone who I promised a drawing to. I know I shouldn't be working on this, but I really enjoy working on it~~ Gaaah!!

Anywho, I just wanted to write a bit more "personal" blog entry here. I was browsing my photos on my computer today and decided to upload a few since I promised KGX347 that I would post something of the place where I live and stuff.

View from my window. I took this photo last summer. I live in the Southern outskirt area of the capital city. I really love living there.

This is a photo I took in the local cemetery sometime in September. In Hungary, the last few days of October and beginning of November is the main time of the year when families visit the graves of their deceased relatives and friends and mourn together. I didn't really care about this tradition before, but I've been visiting the cemetery quite often since grandmother died.

My current favourite bird in my window, haha. Isn't it cute? It's so tiny!

This is an old photo I took about 3 years ago. That's my hand and my talking budgerigar, Dani. He seems to be fascinated by that peach drink. XD Aw, I miss him.

This is also Dani with my cat, Panka. They tolerated each other surprisingly well. Photo from 2007.

This is how close they were. They even ate together. That bird was incredible. When he didn't find an available human he could bother, he went to bother the cat. It's a miracle the cat never tried to hurt him.

Okay, so that's all~ The last 3 photos were taken with my old camera, so the quality isn't that good. I posted these old photos, because I wasn't even aware they were still on my PC and it was a nice surprise when I rediscovered them today. ^___^

Some Royai plus more PH doodles

Lalala~ Guess what! I finally managed to produce a few sketches I consider decent enough to post! Woo!

Yes! It's my OTP, Roy and Riza from Fullmetal Alchemist. Pose was inspired by this Tiger & Bunny fanart. I think I'm a sucker for dark + blond pairs. :B

Just a very fast sketch of Vincent. I can never get sleeping people's faces right... OTL

And this is my psycho OTP, Vincent and Lotti. XD I started drawing this yesterday, but it was only Lotti at first. Then I kept changing the pose and adding things today. Actually, I kinda like this even though it's still very rough and there are lots mistakes.

Also, I'm working on the 150 k kiriban request, but I can't get the poses/characters right... I really want to finish it soon, but a pic of 3 characters is a bit hard for me. TT___TT

Btw, I keep hearing everywhere how good Pendulum is. So I tried getting into this music. I usually like any kind of music from classical-ish to heavy metal. But... Pendulum is just... "too techno" for me, ugh... @___@

Some PH 65 sketches

According to the weather forecast, today might have been the last day of this elongated summer. So the weather has been wonderful and everything should be great, but I'm feeling kind of crappy for no particular reason. I just don't feel like drawing things. I decide I will draw in the morning, and then waste my time in many ways all day and end up not even touching my tablet by the end of the day.
I've been watching a lot of anime and reading a lot of manga lately (I read like 15 volumes during last weekend and Monday). I know I should be doing better things, but my head gets filled of dark unnecessary thoughts otherwise. I wrote a few things about my impressions of the series I watched, but I don't wanna post it here now.
Have some shitty sketches instead, WARNING: PH SPOILERS!

Gil. I put this on my Pandora Hearts meme, but I actually drew this sketch separately. I attempted to draw many things inspired by chapter 65, but they sucked.

Proof that I still fail at drawing Jack. WhyareyousohardtodrawJack OTL

Glen + bitty Gil. Actually, I kinda like this one, though Gil didn't turn out small enough, lol. And it's anime!Glen. XD His outfit looks a bit different in the manga, but I like how they added those swirly pattern things on it in the anime artbook concepts. I might change it if I finish this, but I still like this design better. XD;

Aaand, not my drawing, but I collected a few scenes from the PH manga where Vincent uses his left hand to convince people who claim he's right-handed, cuz the anime illustrators screwed up on one pic. (Btw, Mochizuki herself screwed it up at one scene, when Gil takes the gun from Vincent in chapter 59, it's like - Vince aims with his left, then Gil grabs his RIGHT, then it's left again on the next panel. And I think Mochizuki must be right-handed, cuz she prefers to draw characters facing left, lolz.)

Goodbye Marci

 So I lost my 4th budgie today. This morning, mom wanted to play with him and took him out of his cage, but he got scared and flew into the big room where the window was slightly open. He normally never flew there, so mom wasn't careful enough. Then we tried to follow him for hours, we took his cage, took two ladders because he was on a nearby tree at reachable height, I kept calling him and did everything I could, but still... Before I lost sight of him, I managed to get so close to him I could reach him with my hand. I tried to slowly reach my hand up to him, but he got scared and flew away. That was the last time I saw him.
I had him for only 2 years. My younger aunt brought him to us in September 2 years ago, after my grandmother passed away and our previous budgie died because of some kind of tumour earlier in the same year. He was very wild and scared in the first year, but then he started growing attached to me. He liked only me, just like my first budgie. It was only during this last spring, when he started becoming tame. In fact, it was only a few weeks ago, when he became brave enough to freely come out and go back to his cage. He learned to fly on my hand when I called him. He couldn't talk, but we taught him to "give kisses" and he usually started doing it when he saw me, haha! He was also chirping and chattering in his own bird language a lot, it somehow made the apartment more cheerful. He was really cute and I started growing attached to him too. But now I hate myself for taming him this much. It hurts, I feel this empty space inside that hurts. I keep thinking that he's now very scared, hungry and lost and he will die miserably either starved to death, frozen to death or killed by a cat and I'm unable to do anything for him... Marci, you stupid, stupid little bird. You were always so stupid. I can only hope now that you won't have to suffer too much.
I'll get over it, but I feel horrible right now.

Some semirealism-ish stuff

Anyone remembers that random guy I doodled back in March? Well, I found it again and decided to work on it a bit, but got bored of it again...

And then I started another one today. I just did the skin, it was without eyes and hair when my mother saw it and she said it looked like Gil from PH or his brother. o___o So, I made it look like Vincent, heheh~ I don't think it looks that much like him, though:

Ah, well, I knew that as soon as I start doing requests on DA, I'd suddenly want to work on 5000 other things. I guess I'll be hyperactive artistically this week. Should I refine/finish that Vincent one? 8D

Lots of doodles

I was too lazy to post more stuff in August. D: But I did do a bunch of doodles. Here are some quick sketches:

This is the very first WIP I did for a commissioned piece. I did 2 rough sketch layers for the characters, this is already the 3rd lineart layer. Actually, I think this is the first time I succeeded at drawing 3 sitting characters next to each other without using references. XD;

Little Vincent from Pandora Hearts. I dunno where this style came from, hahaha. Just wanted to upload this, cuz I think it's funny for some reason.

Quick sketch of Jizabel/Jezebel Disraeli from Hakushaku Cain + Godchild. I'd like to do some good fanart of him one day, he's my fave character from that series.

Just having fun with random expressions and faces and stuff. Random characters.

This is my OC, Alec's nameless older brother. I created him around 2005, but he wasn't a very important character, so I didn't really care about him. Lately, I decided to redesign him and now he's starting to look like a cliché villain, yay...

This one sucks, haha. It's supposed to be Break from Pandora Hearts. I once saw a fanart of an anime character tied to a bed like this and I've been wanting to draw something similar since then. XD I didn't draw his seal, cuz I was too lazy to look up references and it's just a doodle anyway. I wanted to put Sharon's shadow or something there, but it sucked. XD;

Xerxes Break again. Very fast sketch, that turned out relatively well.

Gil: *so drunk he can barely walk*
Vincent: Come on nii-san, I'll take you to your bedroom. <3
Lol. I found the translation of "Vincent's Gilbert observation diary" (an extra thingy from the manga guidebook) a while ago and the first entry started like this: "Gilbert drank a lot again tonight..." I had to draw something, ahaha. XDD Their arms are probably weird, but I kinda like this sketch anyway.

Ok, that was quite a lot. Maybe I should update this blog more often~

For the sake of diversity: more PH sketches...

So, I managed to finish my big Pandora Hearts group pic last weekend. Now I have a commission to do. But I still made some more small doodles.

I slapped some colours on this older doodle of Break. XD

Very quick sketch of Jack. I suck at drawing him... OTL

VincentXGilbert. Inspired by a doujinshi titled "Sadism". Ahahaha... 8D;;;;;

Elliot. I wanted to draw some cute happy sketch of him. I have a commission to do with him and Gil and I haven't drawn Elliot that many times yet. His hair is a bit tricky to draw. I may put this up on DA after some refining.

Anyway, nothing worthy to mention has been happening to me. I don't even watch anime or read manga right now aside from the ongoing series I follow. As for music inspiration, I got into Deep Forest a while ago. I love listening to this kind of music while I draw. And this song always cheers me up:

The birds came back

Yesterday, the chickadees randomly invaded my window again. Seriously, 6-7 birds at the same time, that's A LOT. O___o Anywho, this is just a random update because I don't have much to post lately. All I've been working on is that crappy PH group pic. I posted a few wips of it to my DA scraps yesterday, but here's a part of its current state:

I still don't like how Oz's face came out and I'm considering adding textures to their outfits. Though it probably doesn't look very different. I didn't save it with the textures, just experimenting~ I would like to finish this by tomorrow...

Btw, chapter 63 is finally out and I'm downloading it right now. I've seen a RAW last week, but I decided to wait for the Fallen Syndicate's scanlation instead of reading random spoilers.

Now I'll go continue working on this shit picture...

The birds have left

After the super hot weather, rain finally came on Monday evening. There was a HUGE storm at midnight and since Tuesday, it's been much colder. It rained all day today and yesterday too. And today was the first day in this year when the birds didn't come to my window at all aside from a few sparrows. They seem to have moved from our park since it became awfully quiet too. I actually got a little sad because I got so used to them. XD But they will probably come back in September.

Drawingz. 

 ZOMG a pencil sketch!! I drew this in last October, though. Just wanted to scan it to test some settings in Photoshop. Random OC guy.

I posted this to my DA journal, just thought I'd post it here too. Break. I wanted to draw him in his sexy rainbow-coloured swimsuit he's wearing in one of the specials. XD

This is one of a bunch of retarded doodles I did on Monday. Chibi Vincent with a severed head. Lovely.

I posted the sketch of this a while ago. Well, I got bored of it at this stage. I thought the sketch was pretty good, but I don't like this drawing any longer.

Part of my huge PH group pic. I worked a lot on this today. I still have to fix some things on the lineart, but as you can see I've already started colouring it. Also, I really love to draw roses. :O

Ok, that's all for now. I'd like to draw something quick now~~ 8D

Some more Vincent + Break + Crap

Hello to everyone who's reading this~ I've done some bad sketches lately. Let me show you some.

PANDORA HEARTS

This is supposed to be Vincent, but I can't draw him from side view, lolz... I still need to use more refs of him... OTL

VincentxAda. I'm actually proud of this, because it's completely un-referenced, yet it turned out to be somewhat decent~~ I want to complete this.

This is a super quick one of Break.

OTHER

This is very ugly, because it's a semi-realistic painting I got bored of after working on it for an hour or so. The face wasn't turning out how I wanted it to, so I abandoned this sketch.

Quick pose practice. This was referenced from a photo.

Ok, that's all for now.
Btw, I just found out yesterday that my elementary school class had a class reunion in May. I was invited too, but I didn't log in that Hungarian online community site for months and I totally missed it. I felt so depressed because of this. I probably wouldn't have gone anyway, but still...
