Requests~!

I currently have an fanart request page open in DannyChoo.com. There are 7 slots in total and 3 open ones left ^_^

List of requests here.

Oi, Hayaku PrOH!mote~!

Give me a blank piece of paper (in this case a blank WordPress post page) and you’ll get the same from me : blank. I’m not that articulate nor can I express myself very well… especially with words. So I decided to draw for my submission for Oi, Hayaku!’s October 2008 prOH!mote contest.

Hope you like it~! ^_^

I was supposed to be finished by Friday night but her hair was being really bitchy so I cut it. Haha, the original length was up until her feet. ^^’

ps. I’m not sure about the Hiragana but it looks cute. Can someone verify pls? :3

pps. I need to practice coloring more orz

Miku Fanart Update

I was on my bed resting my head this afternoon after getting home from work and thinking about how to edit my Miku fanart when something hit me. All this time that I drew on photoshop I would always go over my drawings and “clean” it up. It’s not necessarily a bad thing but its not really how I draw (by that I mean on paper).

My style has a sketchy feel to it. I’ve always liked that about it. When I draw on Photoshop though, I always think of coloring it. Then when I color, it’s usually cell shading, which forces me to clean up my drawings to match the style.

I’m not sure if I’m making any sense but in a nutshell, I’ve been putting too much effort into a style that I’m not very comfortable with ^^;

So I got off the bed and re-did the sketch from scratch. Click more to see the (edited) original and the new version. Comments are welcome and let me know which style you like better ^^

Damaged from Shipping

My order of Shunya Yamashita’s Wild Flower and Studio Ghibli’s Art of Spirited Away – Sen to Chihiro arrived last week. I was so excited for my first artbook only to find out that they were damaged. I’m very particular with my stuff so when I saw the corner of both books were bent and folded I visibly cringed and twitched ^_^;

Cleaning My Figures

Miku battles the make-up brush!

Pictures for the tips on avoiding bootlegs when buying figures are not ready yet so I decided to write a short post on how I clean my figures. ^_^
