i don't know

Heeey remember I was working so hard on my lovely chibis??

Soo that's useless now because they took my computer.

Of Zelda

Yaay!

So one of my goals this vacation was to try painting with water colours because I bought them XD And because I've always wanted to, but never had the courage to try it... Water colours seemed creepy XD;

And because one of my friends is bringing something I lent her these days, I decided to do a thank-you-gift o/ Actually, I've known her for many years and I owe many thank-you-gifts... orz

She really likes Zelda so I decided to do a fanart! o/

The sketch... I took like... a lot of time to finish it XD;; It's so simple but somehow I'm so slow... Oooh I hate Princess Zelda's detailed outfit XD; She's so pretty, though ;v;

At this point, I had only finished painting Link. I was very excited because he actually came out pretty nice~

Then I colored Zelda in. ~ORZ~ I think my patience was running out and then everything smudged and blended and and and orz I forgot about many details and I got pretty sad... /cries

And done! The purple... The paper got too saturated with water (I think) and I couldn't properly outline the clouds and and //orz

In the end, it turned out pretty messy and ugly XD;; Princess Zelda's blue thingies just smeared and orz it's so disgusting lolol I forgot many details orz orz and ugh... Gotta be more patient... orz And look at that wrinkled paper XDDD

But it was fun nonetheless! I learned a lot, seeing that it was my first try ((: Here goes some of my acquirements:

1. BE PATIENT. LOL I really have no patience at all haha... When you colour something, wait for it to dry a bit, especially if you're gonna shade it or something. Well, thing is, there are two types of shading: one where you just get the same colour over and over again, and another where you get another colour to go over the base one. The paint you use will spread over all the wet area, so if it's something detailed, it won't shade, it'll just darken it. But then goes another hint...

2. Don't put too much water. Watercolours become less saturated as they dry, so don't be afraid if the colour you chose is too "strong". Be audacious and bold! If you put in too much water, it will colour very little and it'll just ruin the paper.

3. Mix colours. To get the right colour, try mixing them! It's fun. XD;

Well, I actually had more, but I guess this basically covers all my mistakes. XD; Although I did mix... But much of the crap I did could be solved by the first two items. Haha

Of course, disregarding the part where the sketch itself is crappy...

Well, watercolour is fun o// I hope I'll have patience to try again and I hope I get better lololol

PS: I took about 12 hours total on this piece. XD

WIPs

For the upcoming event! I ended discovering(?) that some people actually do look at this pheishit lolol Since it's a group project, it'd be nice to know what each one of us is doing what, right? XD

So I'll be posting all my WIPs! So that we can all be aware of what's already being done. o/

Kyary! Vs. PONPONPON, Tsukema Tsukeru, and CANDY CANDY~ For these, I wanted to do a not-so-stubby body and a not-so-chubby face, but I ended screwing a lot on the anatomy and stuff XD;; Gotta repair it! ò.ó//

Menma from Ano Hana! Actually, I want to do buttons for the other charas too ;v;

Hilda and Lamia from Beelzebub! I think these are the cutest(?) charas from this series XD;

Rin and Kuro from Ao no Exorcist! However, it's very probable that I don't use them, since K* has already drawn him. And hers is so... TTATT //hides in shame

And finally, Kyouhei, Mei, and Hue from Pokemon BW2! To complete(?) my Pokemon set o/ I decided their pkmns myself, soo... XDD

Of course, if anyone wants to draw any of these characters feel free to! I sincerely have too many WIPs and it's likely that I won't finish them all in one month XD;; PLUS, I was thinking of doing a B★RS set including B★RS, Dead Master and Strength only for myself! I wouldn't take them to the event and only put them up in my site. o//

But variety may be nice, while competition isn't... Well, I guess we'll decide this together later <:

WANTED

So some days ago I went to a bookstore with K. and V. aaaaaand we got to take a look at some imported manga! One of them was this one (shown above) and it's called 『十五少年漂流記』

The drawings are lovely! We both fell in love with it immediately (well, basically only K. and I were looking at it). I had seen it a time before and I couldn't help but be attracted to it again.

The mangaka is a popular artist on pixiv, しわすだ! I'm definitely gonna search him (her?) later.

The story seems to be about 15 gguys lost in a deserted island? By the drawings, I wouldn't deny it. That's actually the only reason I didn't buy it lol. Ok, no. First, I don't buy manga in Japanese because I can't read any of it (except for when they're R$3 lol), but secondly, I don't really... like this kind of stories. XD

Sadly, no English translations have been made yet; at least I haven't found any. I really hope I can find something I actually understand lol but the fact that it's almost a self-publication (something like this), I am thinking of buying it... Except it's too expensive. XD

While I was looking for the manga, I ended up finding these attractive images. Aren't they pretty? Yess *-*

It's called 「ブラザーズコンフリクト」 and I still don't know what it is yet XD Ah, it seems like it's a game. Hmm... XD;

And lastly! I've seen the nendos oover at Mikatan's blog for a long time and suddenly I see the original art! IT'S SO PRETTY!

So I went and looked for it at MangaFox and found out it's actually a game! For PSP! I have a PSP. LOL

Maybe one day I'll play it. XD

So yeah! A image-full post that isn't about my art but about others' art. But I hope you've been excited like I have and maybe have fun? XD

k-on! wip

K-ON!! WIP. Planning on putting their respective instruments in the back, but not sure. There's still something missing, don't you agree? =v=

nero

FINALLY I finished Cinthia's commish! TAT Sadly, I won't be able to tell her so until some time from now.

As we agreed, I'll be able do use him for events. <3

I hope that during this vacation I'll be able to finish many things, like 2/3 Mojetas, 3 Pokemon chibis (BW2), 3 Kyarys, the ones from K-ON!, and the ones from Beelzebub. It's not that much, come one...

IF I HAD VACATION like I wanted to have. TROL

Btw, I already have the sketches done, so yay!

Oh, and don't forget prints. </3

EDIT Actually, I have no idea from what DMC Nero is. lol
