This is Puddle-chan’s character, Fudge! *-* I thought she was so adorable, I’m glad I got a chance to draw her. …I hope you don’t mind how moe she turned out though OTL

I based her mouth off of a bjd I saw online sometime. While drawing her, I couldn’t remember which she was. After I remembered, and it’s a little like the LE Volks Renee.. ;v; I can’t remember too well though

oAo We’ve actually had a huge rabbit hang around our back yard since Christmas. And by huge I mean huge. It’s like as big as my sister’s dog, Sadie, and she’s… not a huge dog but she’s not toy-sized… @_@;;

Thank you for the art trade Jas, and I hope you like it <333!! Character/design © Puddle-chan’s

Slade finally found a moment to herself, to think back to certain days, where she had different friends and fears than she does now. A cherished time. A time that.. if she had the chance, she’d go back to…

⋆ ★ ⋆

I started working on this last saturday, worked on it off an on, and I finally decided it was finished and postable today. :’D
I was watching some speedpaint videos on youtube (don’t really remember who’s though…) and felt really inspired to paint something after that. It turned out to be an original picture of Slade~ <3 The colours were SO HARD to do though. I had a general idea of what I wanted for a mood; but for the actual colour scheme, I didn't figure it out until after everything was shaded, basically... X_x It was also really hard because I always paint Slade so darkly - but I wanted the picture to be lighter. So I hope I succeeded. It might turn out too bright though; now that I've uploaded it, it looks way too vibrant compared to the original... grrrr I also listened to a lot of music that suited mostly; but when it came to put lyrics to the picture none of them did LOL. So weird. D: One last thing. I can't guarantee that a scene like this will really happen in the story. Soyeah. Thanks for looking! <3

Last Thursday, I got to try a kiwifruit for the first time! 8D I really like them. They’re a lot like strawberries and grapes smooshed into one fruit. And they’re visually-appealing~!
It gave me an idea for a kiwi-faerie. 8D I might draw her more seriously, but I really just wanted to draw her design before I forgot it.

Generally I like how she turned out, but the.. see-through fabric stuff.. stuff didn’t turn out quite the way I wanted. I need to experiment more. o3o

Thanks for looking! I hope everybody has a great weekend~

MUSIC :: “Love Is War” by Supercell (feat. Hatsune Miku)

According to dA, it has been about a year since I got into the Vocaloid fandom. The first fanart I drew of it was Love Is War fanart, too!
I didn’t draw this new picture to compare, celebrate or anything like that – it sorta just happened coincidentally. 8D;; But it’s still neat, no?

I had a lot of fun with it though, despite the severe lack of colour (which is usually my favourite part of a picture)
Also once again tried different stuff with the hair. I tried focusing more on the lineart for it, and making it.. less like one whole piece of plastic _{(which is usually how it turns out for long hair)} and more wispy? :’D Idk how to explain it, but I think I succeeded a little bit atleast..’

…Though as much fun I had with this, I’m gonna try and focus on other fandoms/original art for a bit now I think.. o_o

MUSIC :: “Ah, it’s a wonderful cat life” by Nem (feat. GUMI and Len)

I don’t really like Len. I don’t like any of the guy vocaloids. But this song I just adore how their voices go together! ;v; Their designs are also cute and ajsdhsajk I just love this song.

I wanted to make some fanart based off of what would happen if Len came back the next night and nights after~ ^^;;

As for the picture… I don’t really like how it turned out because they’re not really facing each other… OTL derp.
But it’s basically finished, and there are some things I like about it (the hair~) so I figured I might as well post it.

Thanks for looking!

“Just like the white winged dove
sings a song
Sounds like she’s singin’
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Just like the white winged dove
sings a song
Sounds like she’s singin’
Said, whoo, baby, whoo
Said, whoo

Well, I went today.. maybe I will go again tomorrow
yeah, yeah
Well, the music there.. well it was
hauntingly… familiar

When I see you doin’
What I try to do for me
With the words of a poet,
and a voice from a choir,
and a melody..
…nothin’ else mattered”

“Edge of Seventeen (Just Like the White Winged Dove)” by Stevie Nicks

“Edge of Seventeen” is an older song, but it’s one of my favourite english ones. One, because it’s an awesome song, and two.. because it reminds me of TakutoxMitsuki! <333
It doesn’t fit perfectly, but if the singer was male, and the lyrics (except for the chorus) was switched to she/her/etc, it’d be pretty darn close.. o_o If you’re a fan of the pairing, I would suggest checking it out.
So I wanted to draw something based off of it!

I wasn’t originally planning on posting this for Valentines Day (this picture actually just.. happened.. o_o) but I figured I had it, and it suited, so why not?!

Full Moon needs more love in fan art form anyway!

I was planning on adding Takuto’s wings, but after adding colours and such, they kinda took away from it..
Also, the music sheet in the bg was made by me from scratch, to avoid any copyright troubles. 8D;; They’re just random notes since I know next to nothing about writing music

I also tried some different things with this: thinner line art, and when I decided I wanted to change things.. I painted over it, rather than changing it. I think it gave a softer end result~ <33

Anyways.. I hope everybody has a wonderful valentines day, regardless of whether you’re spending it with that special someone or not. ;w;
Thank you for looking!

Also, to those who are interested: I placed 1st in Firefly276’s contest! : D Yaaay~ You can see my entry here~

Drag and drop for full view!

Ai-kon mascot contest entry, two out of two~

Some people from DeviantART might recognize the theme. I originally posted the sketch there for critiques, but it was.. well, I ended up scrapping it after that LOL. ;A; The perspective was from above before, and I just wasn’t feeling it. And when I went to do the line art, it just looked so wrong.. :c I’M SORRY GUYSSS

For this one, I got the pose idea first and then the outfit later. For my first entry, I did the design first and pose last. Rofl.

This one ended up being a bit messier too.. I had a week left so I rushed it. I hope it’s still okay. Oh, and I also tried making this one a bit more “shonen” than the other. 8D;;
Background just added for posting~!

Wish me luck!!

Edit, July 25, 2012: changed the background slightly so it would look better as a print! c: You can find the old version here. Thank you!

This is for the Ai-kon mascot contest! :3 My first entry of two.
The contest ended this morning/last night, so it’s time for posting!

Anyways, added a background just for posting~
This one’s kinda boring pose-wise, but I like her design. I also had fun doing her hair differently, rather than the usual pretty long hair. ;u; Sorry if the colours are uber bright… they’re not supposed to be ORZ

Last year I got third place. I’m hoping to get atleast that again~ Wish me luck!

Drag and drop for full view! It’s prettier that way! ;u;

I drew something like this a while back, and never made it past the line art stage. Then last night, I was just doodling and.. this happened. (Don’t worry, I’m not depressed! I’m just playing with different art styles. :3)

For the colouring style, I kind of aimed to have it look like it was done with watercolours, even though it’s digital. (Kinda like `yuumei‘s art is like) :3

This summer was amazing; every where we looked, there were just.. so many dragonflies! (And no mosquitoes, teehee) It gave me an idea for this steampunk character. I didn’t really draw her until today, though..
She’s nameless for now. Also, still working on her colour scheme. And personality. And.. everything. oAo;;

But yeah. I just really wanted to draw (and kind of finish) something today. I’ve been drawing a bit since new years, but I haven’t gotten far with anything. :c So it’s a quick picture, but whatever. Felt great drawing it. Though I fought a bit with her face afterwards.. orz
