Before I forget how to paint-

2015-12-09T07:48:58Z

Do you ever stare at any of your old works and go 'how did I...' because I sure do

→ Ball is life, ummm I'm sorry

Have I really cut down on painting this much jfc??

Mostly a WIP dump

2013-02-05T09:44:32Z

Holy shit LJ, what is going on with your posting system does anyone still even read this????

Before anything else though, I just wanted to put it out there that I have a twitter now and post really, really, frequently on there. Assuming anyone's still around, just drop a comment if you want me to add you. I also frequent tumblr a lot too, though the only thing that's really changed from last time is that I have a personal blog that I keep separate from my main art account. I'll link that too if anyone's interested 8')

Otherwise this is mostly just to document work progress since nowhere else is really that great for compiling shit like this. Also, ugh I am way too lazy to post the full finished versions of all the works here as nearly all of it can be found on tumblr anyway

For anyone still curious about my paint process ~~and by that I mean it's just me cycling through my layers~~:: → Mostly sweaty basketball boys I am gomen
→ lonely Devil Survivor

Kagami, the precious basketball bby of my heart uuuuuuu

My entry for the Kurobasu Secret Santa on tumblr ♥

The March entry for ensuing's Bro Calendar. Close-ups where you can see me screaming in anguish over this one can be seen here, here, and here

Gift art for a Shaun ♥ bless him for letting me be gross for a whole month with him

Thanks for looking~ uvu

Long overdue sketch dump

2012-06-19T07:10:19Z

Wow it's been ages since I've posted any form of art on here. Welp, better late than never I guess? Basically all this is a compilation of some of the school-assigned shit that wasn't too godawful to do, bits of my personal sketchbook, and then some recent giftart I've done for friends. Amazingly enough I think the amount of original stuff in here trumps the fanart for once? ~~Enjoy it while it lasts~~

Okay, fanart things that are thrown in here:: → Sengoku Basara, NATURALLY
→ Magi
→ Kuroko no Basuke
→ Prince of Tennis
→ Natsume Yuujinchou
→ Legend of Korra

UUUGGGHHH so I figured I should start... maybe introducing some of my OCs. Uhhh meet Xanthus you guys??? I have no idea if I'll ever post the rest I have, or even upload the rest of this guy's character sheets... and basically it all boils down to me being forever self-conscious.

Back to your normal doodles 8')

You know self, you should really ref the shit you draw because deer do not move like that son

For lesslovingangel because while I love playing Betrayal on the House on the Hill with her ~~yes shuttup we enjoy board games together~~, the character portraits are some of the most godawful things I've seen. Rectifying this by drawing PoT portraits to replace them instead. I still have a few of the characters to go though.

Yeah these pairs don't make any sense at all, but I'm basing them off of my friends' cosplays that they've worn to recent cons. Hope they like them when I sen them off ;v;

FUCK
DRAWING
BASKETBALL
SHOES

Inside joke with yukari_kaiba 8')

To those who still keep up with me on LJ, thanks for looking! ♥

Alive, just busy

2011-12-26T01:36:40Z

HAPPY HOLIDAYS YOU GUYS

Thanks to everyone who stuck with me this year ♥

Otakon 2011

2011-09-11T02:47:12Z

Christ it’s weird and incredibly wonderful /sob seeing everything at… normal size again on an actual web browser and not a tiny smartphone screen. MORE ON THAT LATER.

Anyway, this post-Otakon report certainly took long enough.
Man, just typing this out was enough to remind me of the amount of stress that I accumulated before and during that con, but I have to say for all the times I felt like I was ready to pull my hair out, it was worth all the work. A few things didn’t go quite as planned, like having no time AT ALL to go to any convention panels and events. Being able to meet so many talented artists like Ves and Moementm, plus seeing and talking to some of the people who followed me on dA/tumblr more than made up for it though ♥

I’ll make this part mercifully short and sweet: HI THERE THE REST OF THIS ENTRY IS UNGODLY LONG and even then I’m sure there are parts I still forgot to include ohhhh wellllll

The flight to Baltimore was actually pretty uneventful even though I was fully expecting to be stopped by security because… okay seriously, my suitcase, IDEK.
When I actually got to Baltimore I met up with my childhood friend/tablebro two_jun ♥ and sleeping_table who, along with her family, was nice enough to let us stay the whole week with her. Honestly, I still can’t thank her enough for putting up with us for that long aksldfjaslkd;fj. sleeping_table’s dad was extremely generous and even let me use his large format printer for making my prints which saved me the trouble of hunting down a local printing shop AAAAHHH WHY WAS EVERYONE SO NICE alksdjflakas

We barely had about three days before the start of Otakon to actually get all the final prepwork done. The first day everyone was already exhausted, so the whole day was spent with us sitting on our asses and just TALKING. It was exciting enough to meet sleeping_table in-person, I also had a blast catching up with two_jun , and afterward none of us still felt like doing anything productive so I popped in SMT: Nocturne since I’d wanted to introduce that to Jun ... and things kind of went ~~downhill~~ out of control from there.

This is essentially how the rest of the night went, along with any other time we weren’t killing ourselves over Otakon work:

JUN, I REGRET NOTHING

The second day we went out shopping for anything we thought would be useful for display. Glossing over the details on how that went because so many things just didn’t work out at first ahahaha... 8T Then we got drunk off of even more Nocturne when we got back to Liz’s /PREDICTABLE. I don’t even know how we could have been so relaxed about everything at first ~~IT WAS NOCTURNE~~ since pre-reg and artist alley setup was the next day. So when the next day actually came and we stepped into the Artist Alley to get everything set up we started puking double rainbows and shitting bricks because holllyyyy fffffffffffffffffffffff

These pictures don’t even do justice to the sheer size of this place.
It then hit us that we had no idea on how the hell to even start setting our table up. Just looking at other setups and how good they were was overwhelming enough. Thankfully the whole AA just had the nicest fucking people. I’m still a;ksdljflaskdjf over all the sweet people who took the time to break away from their own table setups to help us with our own AAAAHHHHH WHY WAS EVERYONE SO NICE

Yeah, so what if our table looked incredibly ghetto; IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME SHUT UP /face in hands
We also checked out the dealer’s hall setup since it was literally right next door.

This was the only photo I took of the outside of the convention center. I figured I’d have more chances later to take some more during the day except LMAO JUST KIDDING I’dhavenofreetime
HERE WE GO WITH THE ACTUAL CON STUFF

I actually had to run through the registration line again so I could get an additional Artist Alley ribbon for Liz so she could help out as an assistant when she had the time. I thanked everything that the artist’s line was mercifully short in comparison to the monster that was forming right across from us.

Another thing that amused me while getting my IDs checked and approved everywhere was the number of people who were really… fascinated by the fact that I was an Oregonian. To be fair, Oregon is kind of the middle of nowhere as far as the west coast goes, but some of the questions people asked just made me lose my shit so bad:

“SO DO YOU GUYS ACTUALLY LIVE IN LOG CABINS?”

REALLY GUYS ~~HOPEFULLY THIS QUESTION WASN’T SERIOUS?~~

Okay, back to stories about table management.

Besides our premade merch, Jun and I also thought of opening up sketch commissions, so we drew up some sample sketches the night before. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE WHAT WAS ON OUR MINDS DURING THE WHOLE NIGHT.

Also, Jun thanks for letting me keep your handsome version of the demifiend bby ♥

This Yukimura sketch was only halfway finished when I snapped a photo of it

Since the Alley didn’t open up till the afternoon on the first day, we filled up time by sketching out even more stuff. In the end, we had enough to add a “bargain sketches” section to the back of our display folder where everything we drew was only $1.00

When the Alley was actually opened, business was… a little slower than what we expected. We didn’t expect stellar results to begin with since we were still new, but traffic at our section in general was just BAD. On hindsight, our table placement was pretty terrible. ~~People also got distracted a lot by the porn that was selling at the table right next to us LMAOOOO~~

Another thing Jun and I weren’t expecting at all was that the sketch requests turned out to be our most popular attraction. It’s a wonder we didn’t die from our workload. I think we were averaging around ten sketch requests each per day. That didn’t sound like a lot at the time, but when most of those were full body requests along with multiple characters , surviving on one meal for the whole day, going back to Liz’s only when it was nearly midnight, and still drawing till some disgusting hour in the morning… Yeah. It caught up with us :T

ALSKDjfalsdfj the first night was probably our worst acid trip as far as being delirious went. I didn’t even realize I fell asleep in the middle of texting Liz on our taxi ride back. Apparently I pressed the ‘Send’ button at some point so my text came out something along the lines of “Hey, we’re on our way basdf;lkj.” CUE LIZ FREAKING OUT ON TUMBLR. I really should feel bad about making her worry so much that she had to resort to that, but I still laugh at this every time /TERRIBLE

Also, JUN YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE ME ALONE AT TABLES ANYMORE. I GET THE WEIRDEST SKETCH REQUESTS WHEN YOU’RE GONE

And of course there were quite a few good cosplayers wandering around. I wish most of the pictures I took weren’t so blurry 8(

DAT HAIR

THOSE EYEBROWS

… No I don’t actually know why I thought it’d be a good idea to take a picture of this

DEADMAN WONDERLAND COSPLAY

Really cute pair of T&B cosplayers and one of the few people that came by our table on multiple occasions ♥

I’m usually not that big on pokemon gijinka cosplays, but this Honchkrow was BEAST

The only Basara cosplayers I ~~managed to chase down~~ caught on camera. Table placement why you do this 8|

One of the few things that really bummed me out during this con was not being able to see yukari_kaiba’s Mouri and the equally sexy Aniki she had with her /sob

HOLY SHIT WHEN I SAW THESE TWO DDS COSPLAYERS WALKING TOWARDS OUR TABLE

Of course there were a few things I got from Otakon myself:

JUN, YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS SPOIL ME TOO MUCH
WHY WON’T YOU LET ME CHUCK MONEY AT YOU GUYS

Finally after Otakon was over, we decided to celebrate our first successful Alleying by going back to Liz’s and having a T&B marathon… and playing more Nocturne /KICKED
That nearly sums everything up.

Sort of

I mean, the con’s been over for awhile now, but there are just no words to describe how much I still miss everyone jaskldhfkadf
Why do you guys all live on the opposite side of the country ;-;

ONE MORE WEEEKKKK

2011-07-19T06:40:02Z

Maybe if I posted more, my entries wouldn't be these tl;dr things every damn time

Okay, let's get this out of the way first before insanishvikkixd kills me for putting it off for so long ~~not to mention cheating on every meme she's ever handed me aha.Ha.Ha...~~
Anyway, this 5 questions meme is probably ancient at this point but if there are still people out there who want to do it just comment with I see what you did there.

1. If you had a million dollars magically appear in your pockets, what would you do with it

I'D BE RELIEVED BECAUSE IT WOULD MEAN I WON'T HAVE TO FIND A JOB FOR THAT MUCH LONGER
/kicked
Okay really, I'd kind of be at a loss of what to do with it at first. My first instinct with money usually is to save it. Ngl though, there are definitely things that would look very appealing to me if I ever happen to land that much money hello there art colleges, I'm looking at you

2. What is one place that you would want to travel to in the future?

AUUUGHHHJSFSHJK too many.
To name a few though: the east coast, Europe, and Japan.
The east coast states because I was three the last time I stayed there and I'd actually like to be able to remember being there 8|
Japan because I miss Maki and my host families there.
Europe because I HAVE NEVER SET FOOT THERE AND I WANT TO LIKE SOMETHING FIERCE

3. What is a trait of yourself that you're extremely proud of?

This is kind of a no-brainer I guess: my artistic side ~~because art is pretty much the only thing I'm really good at~~

Unless you meant my personality?
Uhhh, in that case, I guess I can say I'm extremely patient and easy-going. I-I don't know if that's just a side-effect from being lazy /sob

4. If you had a choice to go out partying with a character of your choice, who would it be and where would you guys go?

PARTYING
CHARACTER OF YOUR CHOICE
DATE
FUCKING
MASASMUNE
And it wouldn't even matter where we end up because parties follow this man wherever he goes

5. What are you afraid of?

Haha, man I could put so many things here but I guess one of my biggest fears is letting others down and letting myself down

And now onto art :T
A few of these things were on tumblr, but I prefer LJ for some of the others just because tumblr kind of sucks at posting sequences.

[x] Eyeshield 21
[x] Ao no Exorcist
[x] Tiger & Bunny

These first two were just some much-needed unwinding doodles from all the Otakon stuff I've been doing

Holy fuuuuccckkk I think I forgot everything I knew about painting during this background IDEK

Kotetsu, I think I hate your shoes even more than Barnaby's hair

LMAO and of course I decide to ruin the one detail shot where you can get a close-up. Click the screenshot if you want UHHH a more detailed look at Bunny's extra appendages IDK

sticker and button explosion

2011-07-06T03:26:50Z

Man, this update is a bit later than I wanted, but real life loves getting in the way a lot :T
Either way, stickers are all printed and cut out and buttons are well on their way as soon as I get the buttons parts I ordered! ~~After playing around with a button machine, I never knew how much I needed one in my life HNNNGGHHHH~~

/SCREAMIINNNNNGGGGGGG

Stickers:

[x] Pokemon
[x] Persona 3, 4

Buttons:

[x] Inazuma Eleven
[x] Tiger & Bunny
[x] Sengoku Basara

Stickers will each be around 2.5 inches in height, buttons will be 2.25 inches.

Thanks for looking!
And also another thanks ~~well shit, now I feel like Sky High~~ to anyone who dropped by while I was streaming these.

Otherwise, I should hopefully be getting some prints up soon too 8)

Gross preview sketches

2011-06-22T03:35:31Z

Before I launch into the main point of this entry, I just need to get this out of the way:

HOLY FUCK YOU GUYS, OST FOR THE LAST PARTY IS SO GOOD.

SO

GOOD

When I started on the first track I was already sobbing mascara tears (of joy) and puking rainbows annnnnnnd this pretty much continued all evening.

Okay, with that aside, what I REALLY wanted to share were these sketches I have for all the other stickers and buttons I plan on doing for Otakon. Also, I'll likely be streaming all of these when I start coloring them ;v;

Stickers:

[x] Pokemon
[x] Persona 3, 4

Buttons:

[x] Inazuma Eleven
[x] Tiger & Bunny
[x] Sengoku BASARA ~~SHUT UP I'M ALLOWED TO BE BIASED~~

Yeah, that was the lineart for the Nabari no Ou set I did, but since that was a commission for jei_yuka, I'm not selling it at Otakon. 8I

So many scribbles of frustration here
GOENJI I HATE YOUR HAIR

BUNNY, I ALSO HATE YOUR HAIR

And suddenly hair was the least of my worries when I got to these guys.
WHY YOUR CLOTHES SO COMPLICATED

Also
Masamune, I love you but
YOUR SIX-CLAWS
NEVER
AGAIN
/SOBBBBB

Anyway, hopefully I'll have the colored versions up soon.
Thanks for looking!
And with any luck, Livestream will stop being an ass and actually not lag my computer to hell. Maybe.

Still ruining Basara for everyone

2011-06-01T18:27:32Z

I figured I should actually start posting things for Otakon considering how fast it's coming up. It's barely, what, two months away now?

So while I was crying bitter tears over missing out on Fanime, I finished up one of the sticker sets I'd been wanting to do for ages. Remember when these guys were kind of just a mess of scribbles? ಠ_ಠ

Soy sauce dango cravings like YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE while doing this one /SOBBBBBB

Edit: Uhhhh, also decided to upload this to dA. Nothing really that different other than a pretty background ~~this is debatable~~.

Since I'm actually aiming to sell these guys, any comments at all will be appreciated!
Otherwise, thanks for looking ♥

I swear I will get to posting about sakuracon eventually

2011-05-09T05:01:08Z

I meant to post this yesterday since it was Yukimura's birthday, but then my internet decided to be an ass for most of the day. :T

Well, since it's Sunday... hope everyone has had a great Mother's Day so far!

Anyway, I finally made it to one of the weekly Friday Basara pchats, although it turned out to have more Pokemon than Basara in the end. OH WELL, NOT COMPLAINING.

/SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBBBBBBB
Cookies to anyone who actually knows what Pokemon Sasuke and Shingen are.
I wish I was the one who drew that sexy Masamune team, but no, I only contributed to the defacing of the Masamune right under my team and Poke-~~bra~~pectoral-muscle-supporter!Yukimura.

... oh yeah, click on the picture to see it animated. Thank you Shishi for taking all those screencaps ♥

Also, THIS VIDEO
I DON'T EVEN
Okay, so for those who haven't played SB3, all you need to know is that taunting will add an extra spin to the end of Keiji's Basara attack.

This person decided to spin the entirety of Masamune's horsetrack.

I KIND OF
SHAT
BRICKS

HOW MANY HOURS OF FREE TIME DO YOU NEED TO PULL THIS OFF
STUDZ, STOP TALKING
JUST SKIP TO ABOUT 1:30

YOU GUYS
I'M STILL DIEING

KOUUTTEIIII PENGIIINNNNN

2011-04-10T22:29:32Z

Ummm wow. I really suck at actually keeping this as an art blog.

[x] Inazuma Eleven
[x] Nabari no Ou

Apologies to anyone who has already seen this on dA or tumblr.

So in order to make this picture a little less boring to look at, have some in-progress shots and this really adorable plug-in that I stole from tamayakagiya:

Step 1: Scribble something incomprehensible.

Step 2: Slap on some base colors.

Step 3: PAINT THE REST OF IT IN - Adding in a bunch of crap that wasn't actually there before and fixing stuff that didn't make sense... like Kidou's awkward left ass-cheek.

Step 4: Add more "rocket-streaks" so the bg doesn't look so pathetically flat. Then add a color balance layer on top and tweak to your heart's content. :T

... THESE PENGUINS ARE TOTALLY RELEVANT OKAY

Character songs WANNNNTTTTTT ;;

... aannnnnddd this was originally only supposed to be an Inazuma post, but I figured I'd also throw these two in:

Sticker set for jei_yuka♥

On a completely unrelated note though, are any of you guys going to Sakuracon this year?

VERY belated Valentines post + fustercluck of a sketchdump

2011-02-16T08:24:19Z

Meant to post this yesterday /SOB
Welp, Happy belated Valentines day f-list, and a little something to my current roommates ♥♥♥:

Seriously, these really are the most tiny-ass roses I've ever made

Our respective tape dispensers just because

Made them based off of our respective favorite colors ~~the fact that they match certain color schemes in Basara is totally coincidental~~

Now have a dump:

[x] Sengoku Basara (okay, who didn't see that coming from a mile away?)
[x] Inazuma Eleven
[x] Ace Attorney
[x] Gintama
[x] Shin Megami Tensei
[x] Durarara!!
[x] Hitman Reborn (yeah IDEK)
[x] I pretty much draw the same stuff every time
[x] a bunch of other really gross things
[x] basically, there's just a whole shitton of other stuff in here

Warning: I thought it'd be ~~horrifying~~ interesting if I compiled a bunch of the things I drew on my homework/notes/back of tests/you get the idea. Some of these are ANCIENT though (some dating back to around... last year????). Also, these were drawn at-the-time solely for the sake of keeping myself awake during lectures and whatnot; needless to say, a few of these may cause your eyes to bleed. Oh, and the quality is rather shitty since I shot most of these with my camera. I kiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnda still need my textbooks.

Hi, I don't actually know how to draw soccer balls

I was perhaps a little too generous with the Dead Fish Eyes. ~~It was a very accurate representation of how I felt during that lecture though~~

Masamune, HOW DOES ONE DRAW YOUR HORSE????

Gross AU thing IDEK.
This is actually a preview pic, so click it if you want to see Yukimura and the rest of Masamune.

Still don't know how to draw soccer balls

OH, HI THERE 2011

2011-01-03T22:25:36Z

To start off the new year, have a hugeass sketchdump ~~you know, before classes start eating my soul again~~:

[x] Persona 3 Portable
[x] SMT: Nocturne
[x] Sengoku BASARA
[x] Gintama

Warnings: More Tsurusparkles than this world ever needs, plenty of DERP

I blame Christmas for making me turn Hitoshura into something horribly OOC. I-I tend to draw sappy things around holidays DON'T JUDGE ME.

How I often feel when there are screaming children in my room during New Year parties. ಥ_ಥ

Tsuruhime's moveset makes me rage like no other, but it has its perks.
I took immense pleasure in doing this to my favorite tsun:

~~Mittsun, I love you, but you just make it so easy to make fun you ;u;~~

OHMYGOD SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT IS FORESHORTENING

~~AAAHHH GUYS I'm sorry I was stupid and didn't realize there was a 'Capture' button in the toolbar~~
/SOB Sorin, I'm sorry.
Drew the lineart for Gintoki and Yukimura's uhhh... upper bodies, then did part of the coloring before my hand decided to say SCREW IT.
themsoftheraven and another one of her friends handled it from there. ;D
~~I SHOULD MAKE YOU GUYS COLOR MY LINEART MORE OFTEN~~

Thanks for looking!

Why is this week so good? /SOB

2010-12-22T22:38:07Z

Some highlights of fall term and this winter break so far:

>> Finished Bayonetta YESSSSSSSSSSSS

>> Nobunaga, why are you so much easier to beat as ~~almost~~ any character other than Ichi?

>> My uncle was awesome and got me a new photo printer. ;A; ♥

>> Sticker machine arrived two days ago. HNNNGGHHHHH This combined with my photo printer, I AM SO EXCITE I DON'T EVEN

>> LMAO ok, so I'm adding Gintoki to the Sakuracon cosplay list Oh God, that makes... five cosplays just for this one convention now????? I just need his boots, his sword, aaannnnndddd possibly better pants to go with it.

>> jei_yuka, your Alois ring arrived yesterday. :D

StudZ draws things other than fanart? OH GOD:

So what if I still fail at anatomy forever LEAVE ME ALONE.

Mosquitoes, I AM NOT AMUSED

2010-09-23T14:45:52Z

I appreciate the fact that you're biting me less than usual during my annual visits, but please choose better locations to eat me aka NOT my knuckles and fingers. You made drawing Hunbay and Mitsu much harder than it needed to be.

Already kind of pissed at myself for being too busy around Masamune's and Hondam's birthdays to draw anything, so I'm making something early for Hunbay in the likely event that I'll be busy on the 27th as well ~~DERP START OF TERM~~.

~~Let's not talk about how this was more of an ugly fangirl excuse to draw Mitsu as a kid HURHURRRR~~

Edit: Reuploading this shit to Photobucket because WHAT THE FUCK TINYPIC. Nevermind that I'm going back to the states tomorrow, but I kind of want anyone to be able to see what I post.

Uhhh, Mitsu is giving him that cape thing he always wears on his shoulder I AM VERY UNCREATIVE.

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY YOU FABULOUS BASTARD ♥

Another Basara dump

2010-08-28T22:56:42Z

I meant to post this before I came back from Crater Lake/Newport, but oh well.

This is why I should never speedpaint and go on livestream at the same time.
Dumb things happen:

Personally, I think that's a much better use for his headband.

Might turn these into cell phone charms for Otakon/Kumoricon. I should be focusing more on making prints rather than accessories whyyyyyyyyyyy do I do this to myself.

Also wanted to dick around with colors a little bit, and the result was just so horribad I DON'T EVEN. Yukimura, I am so sorry.

A lot of the crap I draw is often streamed, but I usually only announce my streams to a few people I know on msn because I'm horribly shy about this stuff ~~especially since I work so goddamn slow~~. I'm thinking of posting streams more in LJ, but I don't know if anyone would actually be interested in watching... ಠ_ಠ

Edit: This was one of the stupidest (the good kind of stupid) Basara videos I had ever seen, so I HAD to make a note of it somewhere.

NICO, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME. ~~SHUT UP I ONLY SIGNED UP FOR AN ACCOUNT A FEW DAYS AGO.~~

I can't seem to quit you.

Well shit, finally another art update

2010-08-03T20:49:23Z

[x] Sengoku BASARA
[x] Bayonetta

:: Kaenguruma by ~shadow-freak on deviant ART

Thanks to everyone who watched my stream on this. ♥
To anyone who's curious, this was where it was going before I cropped the hell out of it.

~~Ummmm, that thing that he is sitting on is supposed to be doughnut. Really.~~
Okay, so Mouri here is going to be part of a chibi set that I have planned for when I eventually get an artist's table. The others aren't quite done yet, but the rough sketches are below. So, is anyone interested in these guys becoming stickers? :x

For sleeping_table. ♥♥
Poor sketchy, sketchy Bayonetta must feel very alone. D:

Thanks for looking!

*As usual, art posts will be locked after a couple weeks blah blah blah...

You guyyyyyssss I apologize for being a douche by NEVER updating and not commenting nearly as much as I should, BUT THIS TERM IS NEARLY OVER. So that should be changing. Soon. Hopefully.

I'm still working on stuff. I swear:

lineart DERP DERP

SAI practice... CRY

2010-03-15T23:02:48Z

[x] Summer Wars
[x] Megaten

StudZ, it's finals week.
WHY ARE YOU DRAWING?
Why do you always pick the WORST POSSIBLE TIMES to get inspiration?

OTL

A King Kazuma doodle because I just watched Summer Wars on Blu-Ray this weekend and it was amazing.

In other news... HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU PEOPLE USE SAI? Why am I even trying SAI now? I can't even handle Photoshop properly. IDEK.

~~CAATHHERRINNNEEE, this is for you since Pharos is the only shota you seem to be immune to.~~
Not used to doing lineart digitally. AT. ALL.

Oh HEY, meme fills

2010-02-18T12:14:36Z

~~WHAT THE HELL, GO TO BED STUDZ.~~

I HAD NOTHING DUE ~~TODAY~~ TOMORROW. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA.

I was going to wait until I went home to scan anything, but my roommate was cool and let me use her scanner instead of the piece of shit I currently have. :D

Peoples' prompts I destroyed:

fayette_nundusk
two_jun
ensuing
divide
rizumcbutt

Adachi for fayette_nundusk
Magatsu Izanagi is all "LOL, YOU FORGOT WHAT I LOOKED LIKE, YOU JERK."
This looked so much better in my head. ;u;
GODDAMMIT Adachi why do I never draw you? Oh wait...

Rival x Kotone for two_jun
We will pretend that my anatomy here makes sense. Or we can pretend that this is all Rival's ~~I should learn his name~~ fault and that he doesn't know how to give comfortable piggyback rides.

Neuro Xover with Pokemon for ensuing
This was so much harder than I thought it would be.
In the end, I decided to be a douche and cheated on this by turning Neuro into some kind of giant demonic Chatot. ~~He was that one egg that no one wanted at the Daycare Center.~~

Souji Xover with... SOMETHING for divide
Or Ryouji Seta IDEK.
StudZ, those wings make no sense. ONE DAY, you will actually look up what a bird looks like.
divide, for your other request... I'm working on it. No really, I am.

Killua and Gon for rizumcbutt
OH GOD, I AM SO SORRY. I owe you another request because otherwise I think I'm redrawing this.
I tried fixing this so many times and IDK, I could never get it look right. D:

I tried

2010-01-24T02:21:26Z

I'm sorry Killua. I just wanted to paint over my lineart for once.
Don't worry. I was able to tell you were a lost cause by the time I got to your hair/clothes/everything I typically avoid. orz

Well gee Studz, maybe if you TOUCHED Photoshop more often, you'd actually get better.

What, an art update?

FFFFFF I know I'm a loser for uploading this in January, but I slaved over the lineart too long to not finish this. D:

Happy Birthday Jinnai~ <3
Sooooo... during Kumoricon, our Killua (Jinnai) wanted to come to the Pokemon photoshoot with us, but she didn't have a Pokemon-related cosplay. To avoid all kinds of awkward, she just told everyone that she was a Youngster. And people believed her.

Also, an extra bonus gift ~~Gon learned Lick.~~

EWWWWWWWwwww drawn way back in summer. D:

~~SHOOP DA WHOOP~~ FREIKUGEL

I should probably make an attempt to pay attention in Psychology at some point.

HNNNNGGGGGG SHIINNNJIIIII.
Yeaahhhhhh, I just got to THAT month in P3.

The next one may or may not make your eyes bleed.

What I hope to get done by Chinese New Year.
I'll figure out where to put Yukimura's misplaced limbs later.

Thanks for looking! C:

Important note: My sketch dumps/any art-related whatever will be friends-locked a few weeks after they're posted.

Once upon a time ~~nearly half a year ago~~, popsiclefiend wanted me to draw Pit for her. So I did.

Then I tried to color it...

I left it alone for a few months.

I never touched it again. D:

This will probably stay unfinished forever. :\ Seriously, I am still wincing at how incredibly ancient this is.

An Intro of sorts

{ Semi-Friends Only Journal }

Hi there to anyone who stumbles onto this page. I keep this mostly as a sketchblog for all the doodles and WIP screenshots that otherwise never make it to tumblr or twitter. Personal rambles, memes, etc are all friends-locked, though I don't mind getting to know new people at all.

Below are some things to keep in mind if you do plan on adding me:: → Tell me how you happened to find me if LJ wasn't the first place you've seen my art at; I'm always curious.
→ The occasional comment is very appreciated ♥
→ Tolerate my fandoms.
→ Feel free to unfriend me if you don't like what you see.
→ If you're fine with all that, leave a comment and I'll add you back!
