meet Pablo!~ DOLLS WIP

I finally received my arpakasso in the mail!  His name is Pablo. 

If I'm going to camwhore, I want to put on my cosplay makeup...and be with an alpaca. xDDD So I did a makeup test! My bangs in this picture aren't right since my webcam flips the image.

My friends and I are planning a DOLLS cosplay together for sometime in the fall. :> 

Hopefully things will go as planned and we'll have around 9 people cosplaying. I'll be cosplaying Aikawa Rami, the 2nd brigade's sassy captain. If you haven't read DOLLS by Naked Ape yet, I recommend that you do! It's an exciting psychological action series featuring Naked Ape's beautiful, grungy style.

...and to end off, Otoya alpaca. The first thing I wanted to do once I got my plush in the mail was to put my Otoya cosplay on him, hahahaa.

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 ;

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.
