2012

I haven't posted here in a while... again.

A.. Wha... K...Koishi!! What are you doing?!

Colouring this took a lot longer that I thought it would. Nonetheless, I had fun drawing it!

Last of the year, most likely!

A year of disappointments...

All the cool kids on pixiv were doing this, so I thought I'd make one myself, haha...ha...

Going back through my older works of this year though, I noticed constant changes in style month after month. I think I focused on trying to find a style, rather than overall improvement... Still there is improvement here, I think. That, I'm happy with, but there's a lot more I have to improve on.

Also, I noticed that I've rarely drawn any original stuff since February... 

It's all 100% Touhou now... This is what it has done to me!

Wriggle and "Art Block"

How cruel... I'm sorry, Wriggle...  ;3;

I've been trying hard to get out of a slump I've been in recently. I haven't been able to get much done in terms of drawing due to being in an "art block" state, but I think I'm over it now.

Kasen Ibaraki + Chibis

Kasen Ibaraki from official Touhou Project comic 'Touhou Ibarakasen - Wild and Horned Hermit'.

I haven't really read this comic myself, so all I know about this character is basic information from the Touhou wiki, haha.

And continuing the Touhou "chibi" series. Do these actually qualify as chibi? I see people calling them chibis, in any case.

Kanako Yasaka

I started this one quite a while ago, but finished colouring it only recently. It was kind of rushed, but I guess with this style, you can't really tell the difference anyway.

Suwako Moriya

Next is 'Scarlet Weather Rhapsody'!

Lolice

Alice in loli form from the PC-98 Touhou game, 'Mystic Square'.

I find it a lot easier and quicker to paint on layer, rather than making a million layers per colour, which I've made a bad habit of doing lately.

And I always seem to only finish the pictures that have really simple poses, I've noticed...

Anyway, Lolice is so cute! The end.

Post 74

Just dumping some random stuffs that I missed and a work in progress, that I can't be bothered colouring...

CHIBI ALICE!

Sketch Dump 4.0

A blog post? What is this?

Was away for a while due to moving and my internet activation being delayed here, but having said that, I haven't  really made a blog post since long before I moved. orz

Anyway, cutting to the chase, here's sketch dump 4.0

The rest is after the jump!

Wan Wan!

Momiji Inubashiri

Some practice thing. Painted on one layer for the most part. As usual, I had no idea what I was doing when drawing it, so I know there's a lot wrong with it. 

The majority of this was also live streamed, though the recording wasn't saved since I was just messing around to see if my crappy computer could handle screen capture without dying.

Post 71

A random Mamizou.

I don't draw stuff like this as often as I'd like to. I really need to stop being so lazy if I want to improve.

 I can't write kanji properly. As a matter of fact, my handwriting in general is abysmal.

Also, Suwako is looking rather happy today.

Kogasa!

Stuff

Random junk.

Plus more junk...

Touhou - Remilia Painting

I've not posted on this blog in quite a while. I haven't really been that busy or anything, I just lacked the motivation to do so. I'll update the gallery when I feel like it. So until then, there is a link to my blog's Picasa Web Album on the gallery page for now. I pretty much upload all my drawings there.

Uu~☆

I started this back in January and worked on it little by little over the months. It's a bit rough in some areas but I felt like posting it as it is now. I'd like to do more stuff like this, but I feel so unmotivated lately. I have over 40 unfinished drawings that I've started this year and I don't feel like finishing any of them...

Painting process:

Basic sketches: ☆  ☆

Added detail on the sketch then painted greyscale values over it: ☆

I then put a colour overlay on a new layer, then flattened it: ☆

More painting. Made some corrections, mainly with colour/contrast amongst other thing: ☆ 

Then from there it was just a lot of cleaning up... and cheating by adding another layer because I forgot to drop a shadow under her hand... I would have added more contrast and stuff to it if I were to redo it all. I had no idea what I was doing when I started it. Actually, still have no idea what I'm doing, but I have a lot of fun mindlessly painting stuff, haha.

I'll end my rambling for now. A catchup post is probably due for other stuff I've yet to post with more silly rambling, so that's something to look forward to, I guess.

⑨ Team Attack

A Spectacular failure.

Nom Noms

Goodbye Reimu. Your waki will be missed...

Felt kind of low today, so I drew something weird again.

Bananas

I felt like drawing bananas.

Actually, a friend and I made this joke about bananas, which I don't even get anymore, so I made bananas the theme of this drawing. Oh, there might be a girl in there somewhere too...

I learned quite a lot before and whilst drawing this. Beforehand, I looked up on some tips on how to make skin look livelier and understanding colour and contrast a little more. I'm happy with how it turned out for a first try colouring like this.
 I still have a lot to learn, so I'll be painting like this a lot more from now on.

A lot of focus on drawings I'm currently working on are on colouring, contrast and lighting. I'm also working on improving anatomy (especially hands, orz), hair, which I'm getting worse at, and changing my overall style. I have a few WIPs that pretty much involve all of these to start challenging myself more.

Nitori Kawashiro

Feeling a bit apathetic today, but here is a Nitori!

Touhou Sketches

Quick random Touhou Sketches I drew one day...

 *Glug glug glug*

 Yakumo bath time... Seems to be bath time for everyone now... *looks at last post*

 "A flat chest is a status symbol!"

 Mokou is angry for some reason.

Patchouli accidently Remilia.

Hina's... beard...

Remilia's charisma sensing "scouter".

Cirno has hay fever... DON'T SNEEZE ON THAT FLOWER, CIRN⑨! Or else Yuu....

YUUKA IS HERE!!!

:Another version:

Sketch Dump 3.0

Another sketch dump. These have been around for a while now. I was just too lazy to make this post. Some are pencil on paper sketches, some are digital.

That buxom megane girl I always seem to draw. She needs a name now, haha.

Doodle of a character from a comic that has been in my head for over 3 years now. lol.

I'll get to drawing that when I have enough confidence in both drawing and story telling though.

She has a twin sister who underwent something tragic, then... Okay. That's all I'm saying, lol.

MOAR Lorenza! The main heroine of said comic.

I  redesigned her a bit since I haven't drawn hew for a while. But she probably won't have short hair in the comic.

Another character in a story I recently wrote (and by wrote I mean planned entirely in my head. Yeah, that's how I usually do things, lol.) It's a pretty dark story, so I guess I shouldn't go into detail on it now, haha.

Some random designs for the loli.

I randomly decided to use Posemaniacs to speed draw some random poses... This is how a couple of them turned out...

All the female ones ended up looking a bit... indecent...

Speaking of indecent...

Nopan Suwako. That is all.

Random sketch when boredom struck...
I forgot what I was listening to whilst drawing it.

A 'Sonic the Hedgehog' thing. Might colour at some point.

I was also going to draw something from the "Dreamcast era" and the "Modern era" of the series in anticipation for 'Sonic Generations'. It's a bit late for that now, lol. I'll still go ahead with it though... probably.

And sword-less Youmu VS Sakuya...

A sketch that is a bit gory, (and by a bit, I mean quite a lot, sort of.) so if you don't like that sort of thing, I did you a favour by giving this warning, lol.

Some (semi-nude, albeit still indecent) female poses.
Some of these were based on poses from Posemaniacs. Some were just based on me being a pervert.


And that's that...
I'm currently working on trying various painting techniques at the moment. Painting is a lot more fun than the airbrushy stuff commonly seen in CGs, in my opinion. It just takes a lot longer, orz. It doesn't fit with my drawing style though, so I've already changed the way I draw a bit... I'll get to all that in a later post though.

Unfinished

A bunch of sketches and unfinished stuff from 2010-2011 that I did not (and probably never will) finish.

Not sure why I suddenly decided to post these, haha.

They're ordered from oldest to most recent. That would make most sense, right?

Hijikata Toshiro from the manga/anime 'Gintama'.

I think I was watching the Yagyu arc at the time this was drawn.

Hina Kagiyama

Hina! Spin! Spin, Hina!

... You're not spinning today, huh..?

Posty Post

Just stuff I missed previously.

I tried out digital painting, which is something I haven't done in a while. I can't remember when I last did traditional painting, haha.

A random bunny I drew for no reason, but ended up using it in the next drawing.

Scared to sleep alone.

Deredere.

Tsuntsun.

lol

Textless version for some reason...

And something that's probably NSFW.(censored)
