Today was officially the first day of spring! The blackbirds sing in the mornings, so cute. Today, I woke up at about 1:30 am. And I couldn't fall back asleep. I managed to fall asleep at around 3 am, but then I got up at 4:30. The moon was just above the neighbouring house and it was so big and orange. O___o I've been on my period since Friday night / Saturday morning and it made me feel awful. Although period = new Pandora Hearts chapter lately. 8D
So, a few quick drawings:
This is my take on someone else's character. He probably doesn't look like himself, but he was fun to draw.
Elliot from Pandora Hearts. I drew this now in a few minutes. It kinda sucks, I hate his face. The latest few chapters were... powerful. I adore this headhunter arc. I think the mangaka tortures poor Elliot way too much, though. He didn't deserve to end up like this! D:
Ok, I think my inspiration is finally coming back. Tomorrow, I'll try to draw as much as I can!
I don't care what happens today, I'm going to finish this even if the sky falls down!! DX It's taking me so long because I'm shading everything. I like how Sharon's dress came out.
And I doodled this in Sai yesterday in about 20-30 minutes before taking a bath and waiting to have enough water, lol. Sorry if the colours make your eyes bleed.
I doodled this yesterday. I downloaded a bunch of Pandora Hearts doujinshis yesterday morning and I had to draw a Gil. XD;;; I love him. I'm posting this now, I want to finish it today. Btw, Pandora Hearts is the only thing that makes me download doujinshis. I did download a few FMA doujins before, but I usually don't like those. I wonder, is there something like "Pandora Hearts het doujin / hentai / yuri"? I can't believe that none of the female characters are interesting enough for the fans to make doujins with them. D:
I tried to draw with a mouse in Easy Paint Tool Sai, lol.
When I'm really uninspired, I try to redraw some old pics of mine. EPIC STYLE RAPE, LOL! I think I improved a lot in 2010. o___O I actually tried to do a remake of this sometime in 2008 too, but I don't have that drawing on my hard drive any longer. If I find it, I'll redo this. And I might finish the latest version, so I can see how much my colouring improved. 8D
Ok, this one is old. I made it in 2009 just to laugh at myself and my crappy old proportions. X) It's Alec. I actually posted that 2nd drawing to my DA gallery in 2010, but I changed his face.
Alright, that's all for today. Do I update this blog too often? XD Now I'll go try to finish the Gil.
Here's a random Pandora Hearts AMV I really liked:
I finished the festival pic yesterday, but I made another work in progress pic. It looks almost finished, but I still made many small changes till the finished version . I still hate this, meh...
And I wanted to do some random mindless doodling this evening, so I started my 2nd semi-realistic character portrait thing in Photoshop. I've worked on it for only a few minutes so far, see how fugly it is:
Btw, I'm still listening to Elysion. 8D I think I randomly learn a lot of Japanese words by looking up the lyrics. XD Here's another song I really like:
I'm posting this work in progress pic only because I got a new Sai from Rayn44 and wanted to try saving a jpg file. (For some reason, my old Sai can't do that any longer.)
I hope I can finish this today or tomorrow...
Charactersss~~ I'm not satisfied with my current style. These are just quick portraits of a bunch of different characters. Mom liked the top left one, my personal favourite is the bottom right one. We both like dark haired guys, lol.
And it's snowing right now. It's 20:53. The trees are so pretty. I doubt this snow will last for long but maybe it won't melt till the morning. I can't even remember the last time it snowed in March and didn't melt immediately.
Ok, now I'd better start working on something I'll actually complete.
Mlkjahaddweiu that goddamn art block is killing me! DDD: I've been trying to draw and I have lots of things to draw, but but but... I can't. Here's some crap I doodled in the past few days:
Another pose practice. The left one was based on something unfinished I drew a long time ago (I probably used a reference, since I can't draw shit by myself let alone a pose like that, the right figure proves that...) Actually, I've been doing these because of a kiriban request. I sort of expected I'd end up struggling with it, but I didn't expect it would be THIS hard. I tried to draw many different poses and shit, but I still couldn't come up with anything I was satisfied with... OTL
And this is another crappy sketch. I've been asked to enter a contest (the deadline is in a week), so I was trying to draw characters in a hot spring. I think the hot spring theme would be the easiest, but apparently, I can't draw even that... TT___TT
By the way, if KGX347 comes to visit my blog again, I wanna let her know that I did start colouring her pic. However, since the contest has a deadline, I'll probably try drawing something for it first.
I started watching a new anime, Gosick yesterday. I kinda liked it so far.
And I've been trying to call a place to apply/ask about some job, but they won't pick up the damn phone! DX
Weird Japanese music of the day (the more I listen to Moira, the more I like it):
