DTAC 2011~Starish!!

I went to DTAC for the first time this Sunday!

We didn't stay long in the actual con area because there were so many people, haha!

We ended up moving to the skywalk to take some pictures~

I'm not dead yet

...but I am close. ; u ; b
Art tornado tore through my room tonight.

I'm working on a project a day schedule.
It's pretty tough....but still manageable, haha. 

Hopefully I'll have more time for personal doodling when this semester ends in around two weeks. 

This was today's project: my diorama fufufu

I'm pretty beat, so I think I'll take nice pictures of this when I get it back from marking OTL

...and to end off, a picture of my bjd.

Haha, he doesn't really have a name yet. I'm still trying to decide.

...I take pictures of him and cut his hair when I'm procrastinating ; u ; b

A short post today just because I'm dying to do anything but work. LOL

Welp, back to still life T u T /writhes on floor

WIP WIP WIP RIN AND STARISH

I started painting over that sketch of Rin I had earlier...
I'm not sure if I want to keep it a full body or crop it like so...
I drew the sketch originally as some self indulgent fanart to pass the time so I neglected to make it look interesting.... is it better like this? ; n ; arghhhhhh

Ah well.

 

I'm also fighting with this sketch of Tokiya right now lolooll
Whenever I colour this sketch, he always looks really derpy.
Perhaps I should try colouring it flatter and more animated. ; u ;

Okumura Rin! * u *

 

I recently got into Ao no Exorcist!

Rinnn~~~ He is the prefect male tsundere, haha! This started a a doodle while waiting for my brother to pick me up.  Maybe I should try colouring it in...I don't really know what I want to do with this pencil drawing to make it more finished....ah well.
I bought a pretty camera recently. I hope I can coerce my friend into cosplaying Rin so I can take photos
*u*

Kaitooooooooo~~~~

 

KAITOOOOOO~~~~~ ლ( இ ಗ இლ)

I LOVE YOU, LET ME BEAT YOU UP

errrr marker. It was nice to do some marker art after a long break from it. darned class sketchbooks and assignments that keep me from my gorgeous men. /shakesfist

FUCK YEAH ST☆RISH!!

bawwwww. ripped out a page from my sketchbook to practice with my tablet

...now I remember why I don't use photoshop to colour...back to SAI.

I'm going to cosplay Otoya, on the left! 

I probably don't make a very good bishounen, but I will try! >:D
I've ordered my red wig and finished drawing the patterns for his concert outfit. Will do a makeup test once my wig comes in the mail. Can't wait!

More Miku WIP: I should run back to my markers OTL

ლ( இ ಗ இლ)
I revised the hair a bit and did some colour adjustments in Photoshop...

I hope it looks a bit more believable now. OTL 

...I hope my teacher will email me back soon about my hmk.....; u ;

I really want to work on it....

Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

WIP: Digital painting is really really hard.

So I finally decided to try digital painting again after a year.

The last time I painted, I got really frustrated and took a break from my work. Unfortunately, I lost my tablet which discouraged me from doing any digital work altogether.

this painting started off as Kaito...but somehow he turned into Miku during the process.
... Maybe I should have started with glazing first instead of trying to do something I'm not used to.

T u T

...and now I'm getting a little frustrated again. 

how the heck do people paint hair?

Any tips? Any suggestions or insight is really appreciated.

Belated Post: Cosplay Picnic Hijinks

A short post today!

I'm really looking forward to the cosplay picnic at High Park on October 15th so I looked at old cosplay pictures to hype myself up even more!

I made a gif of my friends and I from the Toronto cosplay picnic on June 25th, 2011.

Maaaan, I really miss Glanse (who is cosplaying doctor Kaito). ; u ;

I started making my cosplay a week before (during exam week, no less), and it was hectic!

The picnic was lots of fun and I'm really glad to have made such great friends! It's hard to find people you can instantly click with, haha~

Richmond Hill Cosplay Competition

 

I participated in a cosplay contest near the end of August. I'm cosplaying Gwendolyn from Odin Sphere. Above is a picture from the 30 second photoshoot the York BBS organizers took for each of the contestants.

There were two parts: a performance based contest do be judged on the day of, and an online contest based on votes.

 People could comment and vote anonymously on contestants' profiles so the online portion was pretty nasty. Some contestants got some pretty rude comments about their costume, face, body etc...including myself! haha!

But, the contest on the day of was a great experience. I met a lot of cool cosplayers and had a lot of fun. Oh, and I placed third. fufufufu.

I still haven't gotten good shots of this cosplay yet, so I'll think I'll get that done at the Fall Hallows cosplay photoshoot. If you're in Toronto, or close by, you should come too! It'll be fun!

Fall Hallows Shoot info here!

Lirica- etching

An etching I did during high school.
That's all. :)

 

matryoshka contour

Did a contour drawing when I got home from class today. Can you guess which one is me? Haha.

I'm pretty excited for all of the drawing I'm going to be doing at OCAD. I need a busy schedule to keep me motivated and to hone my abilities! Classes are pretty quiet and awkward because it's still the first week. Hopefully I'll meet some new friends who have similar interests ex. manga and cosplay /shot
; u ;

Sketchbook Dump (March-April 2011)

 

I finally decided to upload these sketches, haha. I should probably post my sketches in chronological order...but oh well. （´∀｀）

Enjoy my circus themed sketchbook derp.

 ...and ending off with Meltdown Rin, haha. She was pretty fun to colour.

That's all. Thanks. (ﾉ◉ヮ◉)ﾉ〃┻━┻

Sketch Derp: Persona 3 I wish I brought my PS3 with me. fffff

I've finished moving into my apartment and ready for OCAD...

I'm feeling really homesick even though Markham is just an hour away, haha.

I'm between orientation and classes and now I wish I had something to do other than watch
 anime or do nothing (and then feel like shit). ಠ________ಠ 

wish I brought my PS3 here. fffffffff If I don't have friends downtown, I should at least have gaming.

I was flipping through my past sketchbooks when I found this and was reminded of how much I love Persona 3. T 益 T dang.
I love Pharos, he's so creepy. : D

Welp, that's all. Peace out.

summer sketch derp

 

My posts are few and long in between...

This Summer has been a massive art block....This is all I have to show for this Summer. T u T

Oh, but I am buying an Intuos4, so that will be fun. : D

 

 And I guess I'll end off with a derp drawing because I'm bored and perverted.

✄ Sketchbook Dump (May-June 2011)

This is my first sketchbook dump~

This is the book I've been drawing in during June and May. I have other sketchbooks, and I think I will post those up later. 8)

I've been in an art block these past two months and it's been difficult for me to stay motivated. The theme is pretty scattered in this sketchbook. Nevertheless, please do enjoy what I can show you.

 

This is the cover of my sketchbook. I really enjoy doing collage in my books so you will see a lot of it, if not in this sketchbook, then in others.

When you open my sketchbook it looks like a theatre from the performers perspective.

Sound Horizon fanart~ Getting pumped to start on that cosplay. I bought the fabric today!

LOL. That is glasses doctor Kaito up above. My friend Glanse cosplays a wonderful Kaito. Please visit her blog too at http://glanse.blogspot.com/

So there it is. ( ♛ v♛) 

A lot of busts and women because I really can't figure out what I want to draw, haha!

Hope you enjoyed it, please look forward to more sketches in the future.

Until then~
