kanade

9 June 2013

This is Kanade Tachibana from Angel Beats!, an anime I watched with my sister somewhat recently.
I was pleasantly surprised with the anime, I was expecting it to be some moe harem thing that we were going to give up on before finishing, but like I said, it surprised us. :3
It had some hilarious moments, some “what in the world just happened!?” moments, and some really sad moments too. I wouldn’t say it’s the best anime EVER, if it had been longer and explained more things it would have been better. But it’s good, I’d definitely recommend it.
I like a decent amount of characters. Kanade, Otonashi, Hinata, Iwasawa…. and also Noda. He was funny. I wish they had gone into his past more or something. :I

Anyways! I started doodling this yesterday afternoon, but got bored with it by suppertime. I decided to finish it this morning. :3 I really wanted to do something still anime-styled, but less.. for the lack of a better word: moe. OTL;;

Also, I drew/coloured this in ArtRage4! :D

…Geez I can’t believe it’s June already. Ai-kon’s next month… *_*
Thanks for looking everybody, I hope you had/have a great weekend!~

LenxGumi: On The Way Home

26 May 2013

Started this before going to bed last night, finished it this morning. It’s really only a quick thing, when it’s not shrunk down (like it is above) it is really messy/sketchy lol.
I kinda like it but I also don’t. My favourite thing is probably Gumi’s (the girl) expression/face turned out. |D;;

Len Kagamine and Gumi Megpoid from the Vocaloid series, walking home from school together <3 Thank you Shevi for inspiring me to draw this (and for pointing out some things afterwards to improve it)! <3333 Len Kagamine © Crypton Future Media

{ memories hidden within the sunset }

10 May 2013

It’s not finished..
I’ve gotten sort of bored with it. I wanted to try and spruce it up so I wasn’t bored anymore, but it’s like a vicious circle haha. I might update it in the future, but until then, it’s finished!! OTL
Hopefully now I can get the motivation/inspiration to work on another picture.

Anyways!! I started working on this picture of my character Slade earlier this week, because we had three days that just had gorgeous sunsets and I wanted to paint them! I know I draw sunsets and sunrises a lot, but I really love them, and felt so inspired to do another. ;-;
I also tried to use the same technique that I used on my most recent picture of Aldora, but it’s not quite the same. :c

Thank for looking!

dA Valentine: Kiss Kiss Fall In Love~

11 February 2013

I got to read the Ouran High School Host Club manga last month, and I’ve been wanting to draw fanart. So when I read the dA news post about the valentine’s event I couldn’t resist drawing Tamaki. |D Plus I want to get better at drawing him, he’s really hard to draw for some reason…. I hope he looks alright.

From the 12th-16th of February, if you’re on deviantART you should be able to send this as a Valentine to another deviant~! Here’s a link to the article!

My AWESOME sister came up with the saying for me. Thank you Shevi!! <333 I had Guilty Beauty Love stuck in my head almost constantly while I worked on this. I'm sorry to those who prefer the other hosts... I didn't have time to work on more. Maybe next year~? I drew and coloured it in ArtRage again, though it was a lot quicker this time. oAo Artwork © 2013 Sloan/designsbysloan.com Saying © dashofcreativity (my sister Siobhan) Ouran High School Host Club / Tamaki Suoh © Bisco Hatori Do not use without permission. - - - Oops.

3 October 2012

Well, it’s October 3rd today. Also known as “Fullmetal Alchemist Day”, because it’s the date written in Edward’s pocketwatch.

I didn’t have time for much. I was trying to listen to FMA music to get inspiration, and this is what I drew… doesn’t really suit the occasion, but it’s FMA themed at least. ^^; I’m just glad I was able to do something, since I haven’t been able to for a couple years now.

I finally drew Alphonse alone (well, not completely alone. He has a kitty!) it’s the Shamballa version. I don’t prefer the first series to the second, but I still like it a lot. ;-; Some people complain that Al’s design is unoriginal in the movie… but I think it was his way of retracing his steps, to try and remember what happened before. Or simply to feel closer to Ed. So I think it’s sweet. >.>

Also, I never realized the song “Ordinary World” was originally done by Duran Duran… I’ve been listening to the version by Red all this time. XD;; But I feel like parts of it suit the movie, so that’s why I used it. I hope you can read it well enough, it ended up kinda small, and then I put the watermark on it, so it might be difficult. ^^; Sorry.

n a n a i m o

24 July 2012

Something I doodled before Ai-kon~ I was feeling inspired, and I wanted to keep the shading simple but add different patterns~
Based off the nanaimo bar.

(and no, this wasn’t a print. It’s just filler~)

Kiwi

17 March 2012

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~

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

Dragonfly girl

11 January 2012

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

AC: Getting in the Jingle Spirit

18 December 2011

Why do I keep doing Animal Crossing fan art? Like, of all games.. I choose AC. OTL I guess it’s because I’ve been addicted lately haha

Anyways, ONCE AGAIN.. I wanted to try something different! 8D So, they’re lineless~! I also used more of the AC style than my own. I’m sorry.

Why do I keep drawing snowy pictures when I hate winter? I don’t know. XD;; I really just wanted to draw my outfit ROFL. Though I made up a lot of it. (my dress isn’t quite like that, and those shoes don’t exist in AC)

I added Shevi (Usagi) after. Her outfit is designed by ~Alpakaz (who also suggested the title for this picture) C: She’s dressed in red, I’m the one in blue.

I hope everybody had a great weekend!
