Wild

Howdy y’all,

Because I haven’t updated for a while (and because I’m so nice), here’s another post.
Aren’t archers so cool? And aren’t foxes so cute (or should I say Kawaii)? I went for the ‘wild’ (stated by title above) look because, yeah. I felt like it. The girl’s eyes are supposed to look like that and all of those whiskers. Again, the pose was copied off my book (hey, I’m still learning) and the hair was not my invention? Is that right? Anyway, the clothes were originated off the original picture (surprise, surprise) but I made a few alterations such as lowering the dress and changed the sword into a bow and arrow, with a quiver on her leg. Naruto inspiration for the win (or just Naruto FTW)!
I also like foxes and so practically ripped off Nintendo for their design of a fox (Vulpix) with a few alterations (did you expect anything less?).

Wowee. That’s a lot of parentheses in one post. FYI (for your information), the girl is Yuki and her fox is Miyu.

Everybody looks like this when Having a Cuppa

Howdy y’all,

Today’s post is not very exciting but is good nonetheless! Please enjoy.

DISCLAIMER: I hate coffee >p

So today we have, what seems to be a boy (around 18), enjoying his nice, hot steamy cup of coffee. Now look closer. What you will find is that it’s actually tea. I know, anticlimax. The thing was though that I was (yet again) basing the below picture off another picture and that one had coffee. The problem was that I didn’t have the colours and that I thought that would be too much black >P. Soooo, I changed it to ochiya (‘green tea’ in Japanese. You learn something everyday). Though I guess it doesn’t look much like green tea, more like pee. Great. I made a guy drink wee. Aren’t I nice?

Have a nice day y’all.

Fan Art – Ouran High School Host Club (OHSHC)

Howdy y’all,

Recently, I finished watching Ouran High School Host Club (or just OHSHC for short) for the second time and I fell in love with the Hitachiin twins all over again. These two devilish guys are just the funniest ever and really add to the comedy. OHSHC also has a deep story for each character which I really enjoyed. Maybe I should start doing reviews? Anyway, here are the twins Kaoru (left) and Hikaru (right).

According to Smizzley, there is a Japanese Drama and is apparently crap. “Don’t watch it. It’s terrible” she says. I will heed that advice and I advise you to do the same.

Fan Art – Naruto

Howdy y’all,

I’ve been watching Naruto lately and decided that I felt up to the challenge of drawing the unique characters. Looking back on my drawings, I think I did a rather fine job.

Though I still don’t like Sasuke (right) nearly as much as Naruto (left). I was trying to draw him to the side but I ended up making him fat. Sorry Sasuke!!!!!

The second picture is another character from the Naruto anime series: Shikamaru. What caught my attention was his often occurring phrase, “What a drag…”. What a great view on life. Three cheers for our lazy friend!

Seifuku

Howdy y’all,

Today’s post is all about seifuku (Japanese school uniform based on the look of old sailor uniforms). The following pictures are girls wearing seifuku: the first being a close-up and the second being a dramatic pose. I entered these in the annual Goulburn show and sadly they didn’t win. But it wasn’t a waste of time. Oh no. I had heaps of fun drawing them and adding colour! Please enjoy them as much as I do.

My Very First Manga

Howdy y’all,

For my 14th, I received Mastering Manga with Mark Crilley, a ‘Learn How How to Draw Manga’ book, from my grandparents. I loved it. Still do. So to celebrate, I drew a few characters (with a few alterations on my part). I entered these in the Goulburn Show but sadly didn’t win… Ah well. Better try harder next time! Please enjoy!
