Of Vincent and cell phones

Yo! I didn't forget about this blog, I just don't have much to post lately. :(

 Doodle of Lotti. I did this some time ago.

I like to do really quick doodles of Vincent whenever I feel like drawing something quickly. I don't like this one any longer, but it turned out okay for something drawn fast.

VincentxNoise. Yes. I ship Vincent with everyone. And I noticed I got a lot more confident at drawing hands, it's so much easier to draw them without references now.

Something  super quick I drew today.

Dear Vincent!
Please stop flooding my brain with random ideas just for a short while and let me get other stuff done. Thank you in advance.
Your biggest fan,

PH 76 came out today. Probably the shortest chapter so far. But it's pretty emotional... Alyss, ALYSS! Yes, Alyss FINALLY APPEARED! INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE SISTERS AAAH!! We finally get to learn how Alice became one with B-Rabbit and stuff. Nice~

I got my first salary in the beginning of August. To celebrate it, my auntie got me a mobile phone holder thingy as a present. It's purple and it has my name on it.
Then my mom started bugging me because of my crappy old Samsung phone. Every time you open it, the screen goes black after 4-5 seconds, its camera doesn't work any longer either and the phone itself is pretty outdated nowadays. (I think it's a model from... 2006-2007? And it already wasn't of the best or latest technology when it came out.) So yeah, mom is crazy about touchscreen phones and decided she'd buy one for me. We finally went and bought one a week ago. It's not the most expensive superawesome model either, but it's light years better than my old Samsung. It's a Nokia. My first phone was a Nokia too, I was a bit angry at my mom when she "exchanged" it for a discount of the price of the new Samsung. I'm not into cell phones in general, but currently, I'm in love with my new Nokia phone! It can even play MP4 video files my MP4 player can't play. :B And it's so easy to put shit on it from my computer! My biggest problem with my old cell phones is that I can't connect them to my compy (I don't have special data cables for them) and for some reason, I can't send MMS with them either, so there's no way to save old photos and audio recordings I'd made with them unless I keep the phones too.

I guess it's pretty easy to tell it's my phone, ahaha~

Mom is planning a big renovation in our apartment. It's possible that I won't even be able to use my compy for a couple of days. However, I have internet on my phone now, so I might be able to go online and do a few things. (Not much, tho.)

I'm feeling pretty tired and crappy atm, so I guess I'd better go now... I'll continue working on commissions tomorrow~

Goodbye peaceful NEET life!

I'm starting work next MONDAY!! I'm excited and worried at the same time. But that other girl who's gonna be my colleague is very kind and she's older and more experienced, so I hope she'll be able to help me. I wanna be friends with her. I'm very inexperienced and naive but I learn fast. No matter what, I'm gonna do my best! I won't earn a lot of money, but it's better than nothing. HECK, I'LL EARN MONEY!! Even if it isn't much, it will be my own money I earn with my own work! Yes! Finally!
And I have a shiny new bank account! (I had no bank account in the past few years.) I think that as soon as I get my cards, the first thing I'll try to do is buying a premium membership on deviantART. Just to see how it works. And I'm gonna buy a new cellphone when I get my first payment. I dislike cellphones and rarely use them, but this modern world requires you to own one. They ask for your mobile number EVERYWHERE! D:

So I wrote that first paragraph yesterday. Today I got in a lethargic mood for no reason after coming home from the doctor. And I'd really need to draw something this weekend. OTL I actually have a drawing I should do for a group activity before the 1st of July. It's not that I haven't been drawing, just nothing turns out well. Here are some sketches I did in June:

I love it when Jack or Vincent does this "shhh" pose, lol~ Very fast sketch.

Ozu. This sucks. It was a bad idea to attempt drawing this pose.

Gil and Vincent. I drew this when I was feeling shitty.

No, this is not a rape scene, I just felt like drawing angry yelling people.

This idea has been sitting in my head since retrace 69 (January). I drew a basic sketch back then, but it was horrible, so I redid it recently inspired by this RP. This new sketch is much better, but still could use a lot of work and refining.

And I did this last Saturday when I finally felt like drawing again after a tiring week. I wish I'd have the patience to work on it some more, but I haven't touched it since then.

Okay, so I haven't been able to complete anything lately and I'm afraid work's gonna kill off all that little hint of inspiration that I have left. But I'll try. Maybe drawing would help me relax after work... Though to tell the truth, drawing is not relaxing for me at all because I tend to stress over everything. This pose is odd, this arm is too long, this facial expression is not right, etc. etc.

Oh well... I can't promise anything, but I'll try to draw something with Lotti for now~

Rampant spoiler sketches from PH 65+

Wow! I think it's the first time I actually managed to finish/colour everything from a previous post. Yay~

Anyway, I got so inspired by retrace 73, I finally decided to draw a bunch of sketches of Gil, Oswald and Jack... They are under the cut because of the spoiler content.

I should have seen this coming

I wanted to finish a drawing today. I was working on it in the morning, then I took a break. Then, Mom was like "Let's go to the cemetery"!
FFFUUUUU. Why does this always happen? ALWAYS when I actually feel like drawing. WHYYY...? TT___TT

Why hello there, Art Block!

I've been suffering with drawing lately. I don't even know how I manage to waste all that time doing nothing productive... But I decided I will complete one drawing before the next PH chapter comes out! I still have a whole day left! (Or maybe two, but the spoilers tend to come earlier.)

 

So yeah, I started sketching this in the beginning of May, but I'd like to finish this tomorrow. The Children of Misfortune. I wanted to draw their adult versions and Break as his younger Kevin self because... BECAUSE. I dislike Lacie's hair here, the shape is odd and Vincent looks odd too, but maybe it will be better when I shade it. :B

This was inspired by a doodle by Mochizuki I saw in the art book. I've never been particularly interested in this BreakxSharon pairing. I don't even know why because it's pretty much my DREAM COUPLE. I mean... rich young lady and her loyal knight - isn't that perfect? XD But somehow I kept thinking of them as protective big brother and spoiled little sister not related by blood. However, I was eventually convinced thanks to some PH extras that Sharon totally has a crush on Break. And Break likes to tease everyone~

Whoops, I think I just turned bisketchual... Yes, I went there. I have no regrets, lalala~ This pic just spontaneously popped into my head today and I had to draw it right away. I wanted to ride that wonderful random wave of inspiration that doesn't come often. You know you're a rabid Vincent fangirl when you start shipping him with his brother despite hating yaoi. Gil does not want. 8|

Ok, that's all folks! I actually drew today, so I'm hoping I'd be able to get some shit done this week~~ Good night!

Art theft + The usual PH sketches

Meh. My sketches keep getting stolen from this blog, coloured and posted on deviantART without my permission, without crediting me or my blog and watermarked by the thief. What should I dooo~? Should I stop posting sketches?

 

I've had some debates on devart because of my render stamp lately and realized that in this modern online culture, original creators and authors are simply NOT IMPORTANT. Most people don't give a damn where a certain picture / video / story / music comes from or who created it. Even on websites where you are supposed to post your own creations. The original policies seem to have been losing their purpose since everybody ignores them anyway. (Honestly, how many of you read that long boring text you have to accept when you register to a website?) So let's face it: No matter what you draw or how good your works are, most people who see your works online will never ever bother to check out your profile or personal website. They often don't even check out your other works. I've always liked to know where something I liked was from or who made it. Because when I find one cool thing, I will probably find even more cool things if I know the source. And because I admire people who do these cool things and want to know more about them. But maybe it's just me.

Anywho, drawings:

Random OC doodle. It was so refreshing to draw something in my own style for once, lol.

People keep bugging me to draw Oz/Alice. But I'm mainly a Vincent/everyone and Lacie/everyone shipper apparently. XD I think this drawing sucks. This is what happens when I try to draw something slightly dynamic-ish without references... -___-

Oh Jun, why do you make me draw things like this? This is pretty much a bad copy of one of Jun Mochizuki's sketches from the "Mine of mine" guidebook which I finally managed to obtain in raw scan format a few days ago. Vincent/Echo.

Chapter 72 inspired sketch. I wanted to draw this scene SO BADLY. It's all kinds of adorable and sad at the same time. I have to admit I'm not sure if I've ever loved the little interactions and body language of the characters in any other manga so far. The children of misfortune all seem to be quite the personal space invaders, haha. Also, I like drawing Lacie.

A few days ago I was raiding the internets for more Pandora Hearts scans because I couldn't believe Mochizuki didn't draw a crossdressing Vincent. And then I found it in the extras of the "Mine of mine" guidebook (Volume 8.5). HELL YEAAAH~ I wanted to draw him as a girl in a similar outfit. XD

I also have a sketch of Cheshire I posted on my Tumblr, but I don't feel like posting it here too, cuz I don't like it. :B Here are a few photos instead:

Our cactus some time ago~ This was the first time I've ever seen two flowers growing out of the same sprout. O___o They are twins!!

Because I'm not too fond of chocolate, I got this tiny bunny figure for Easter this time. XD I totally named it Oz. jk And I also got this 3 cm tall plushie teddy bear last week. I put it on my MP4 player because my phone doesn't have a hole for it... DO YOU KNOW HOW OLD I AM?! XD;;; Oh well, I still think things like these are cute.

Rants about Pandora Hearts and Vincent

So...

 LET'S TALK ABOUT PANDORA HEARTS!!

8D

Hmm... I'm not sure I'd enjoy Pandora Hearts so much if it was all cuteness and fluff and funny things. I need the drama, blood and pain to really like a story. Pandora Hearts is so great because it has the cuteness but doesn't get too corny and also has a healthy amount of darkness. Compared to my other big manga obsession, Fullmetal Alchemist, PH is a lot less predictable and also darker, I think. I never spent as much time analyzing FMA as I do analyzing PH.

Random thoughts about Pandora Hearts (mostly Vincent) I wrote down but never posted anywhere

I just reread a few notes I made a long time ago while reading Pandora Hearts. Some of them were just about analyzing characters and their relationships, but there were many things I had predicted but kinda forgot about them. O___o Click "Read more" to view my ramblings. Warning: Mild spoilers!!
