Fan Art – Wolf Children: Ame

Howdy y’all,

I’m not so sure over how this turned out. As I didn’t have the colours I had to make do with what I had so in that aspect I don’t like it. The lineart is okay I guess…

During the holidays I rented an amazing anime movie called Wolf Children that, to keep a long story short, is about a mum who falls in love with a wolf man and then has two children who have to decide if they want to be human or wolf and live in the suited world. It’s a cute film that left me pondering with emotion, and I’ll probably end up doing a review on it later (if I ever end up getting around to doing reviews, or comics for that matter).
I loved it so much, I drew one of the main characters: Ame. In this picture I drew him as a four year old and a ten/twelve year old (they didn’t specify how old he was later in the film). So in the picture, you’ll see the same person, but in different ages as he grows up in the movie.

And without further ado, here is cute, adorable, ‘mamma’s boy’ Ame!

The Phantom

Howdy y’all,

Ever heard of Lee Falk‘s ‘The Phantom’? No? Well…

The Phantom is an American adventure comic strip, where the Phantom is the 21st in a line of crimefighters that originated in 1536, when the father of British sailor Christopher Walker was killed during a pirate attack. Swearing an oath on the skull of his father’s murderer to fight evil, Christopher started the legacy of the Phantom that would be passed from father to son. And here’s the good bit, unlike other superheroes, the Phantom does not have any superpowers, and relies on his strength, intelligence, and fearsome reputation of being an immortal ghost to defeat his foes. How awesome is that? It’s like… Like… Like ARTEMIS FOWL!
Here’s some background info (if you’re interested). The 21st Phantom is married to Diana Palmer, whom he met while studying in the United States; they have two children, Kit and Heloise. Like all previous Phantoms, he lives in the ancient Skull Cave, and has a trained wolf, Devil, and a horse named Hero. Need I say anymore?
You should so check it out…

Anyway, the reason why I drew this character is because it was my uncle’s birthday was coming up and I wanted to draw him something. Then it hit me: He. Loves. The. Phantom.
Problem. Solved. And so I embarked on a magical journey drawing a character (that I’ve never actually read about) and then colouring him in (well, the lettering of the logo) all at the middle of the night. Give me some credit, I started at 9pm.

Well here it is. Tell me what you think.

Phaesri – Dragon

Howdy y’all,

Here is a dragon that’s been on my mind for some time. I called him ‘Phax’ originally but changed it to ‘Phaesri’ at the very last moment. Ever since I recieved my Minecraft account for my birthday, I fell in love with the name Phaesri (pronounced phase-ree, by the way) not because of Minecraft but because it sounded like a fantastic (as in fantasy-fantastic) name. I love it. I am also happy that I’m back into drawing dragons, better than ever!

Dragon Title

Howdy y’all,

As with my manga book, I decided I would draw a title page for my dragon book. In this case, instead of lettering with a character of mine, the title was to be a tribal tattoo. Many people hate tribal designs but I simply adore them. How they make a picture using only polygons. Amazing! Anyway, I’ve drawn this dragon a couple of times (on my shirt) and I thought to myself how good it would look on paper. Enjoy!

Detective Barry

Howdy y’all,

First of all, this was a request by Ellie-m-n-o-p. Second of all, I made up the name (meaning I didn’t base him off a real character). Thirdly…

I am quite proud of this one. I used next to nothing for references. I think the only referencing I did was the clothing (what detectives wear) as I haven’t (sadly) seen many detective shows :'(. There isn’t much to say but enjoy!

Though I am still waiting for my story edit – hint, hint Ellie…

Person with Wings (not an angle… or an angel)

Howdy y’all,

My friend cathcasidk requested that I do this particular drawing. So, while I was at the farm I took it upon myself to do just that.

It all started in Science class…

I was doodling in my science book in science as I had already read ahead and was bored out of my skull. And so I doodled and doodled and doodled untilĀ cathcasidk looked over my shoulder and saw my epic drawing skills. She then started to draw in her diary and then tapped my shoulder repetitively. With one last look from my amazing drawing of a disconfigured dog, I looked up to see what my friend wanted.
(cathcasidk) :Teacher’s coming
(la moi): *nods vacantly* Uh huh
(teacher)Capture2: …And the speed of light is very fast, unlikeĀ  ‘s brain… (she says while bonking my head with a rather heavy textbook)

: *momentarily looks up, then back to drawing, then again back to teacher* Oh
: Yeah

And so I continued to draw in my book, having not learned my lesson from the teacher. cathcasidk continuously poked my shoulder. I continuously poked her shoulder back.
: What?
: Draw this *thrusts a picture of a girl with her back to me holding up her dress, that she drew*
: I, uh, okay?
: Good
: Good?

*Bell rings*

Travel two weeks into the future

Ima gonna draw this thing!

Travel about 2 hours

Done! Now to wait for the end of the week so I can scan, plus a few days for me to actually get around to wring this post

Travel to now

Yay! Done!

 

NOTE: This is not in any way an exact recount. I just made up the jist of it to make it sound good. I also forgot what actually happened as that was the second last week of school and I don’t tend to remember boring, unnecessary things like that just so I can write about it.

And let’s be clear, I actually do pay attention in class and my teacher isn’t nearly as bad as that. It was all for the story. The only thing that was true was the request (and not even in that way).

Have a nice day!
