I couldn't think of anything for the title...O.o;
I'm REALLY bored. I tried working on some art, but I couldn't draw anything, so I decided to trace some pictures, and I couldn't even trace them!! TT.TT I don't know what to do...I finally colored Alice's dress, though. Sadly, my gray is dead and there's no way to color it cleanly...
I'm listening to random songs on my mp3 player because it's set on shuffle, and I keep hearing the same songs over and over again and it's making me crazy!! And for some reason I have 5 Chocolate Disco songs on there...O.o I always forget to delete them. Finally I'm listening to Jumper by Capsule, that's a VERY repetitive song...-.-; I have more than 200 songs on my mp3 player and I only get to hear like 15 on the shuffle mode...it's not shuffling right....-.- Like instead of putting the song at the bottom of the list, it's put two songs before the next one...-.-;
OH! I found this really awesome picture that somebody did from a Strawberry Marshmellow screenshot of...I think Ana. How many anime characters can you find?:
I see two Anas (?) and two Enma Ais (?), that one girl I don't pay attention to from iDOLM@STER, the girl with the brown hair and the glasses...I THINK that girl from Shakugan no Shana...umm...is her name Shana? Suigintou, and somebody who I don't know who it is, but I think they have the geass...hrmmm...Then a lotta other people I recognize, but I can't tell who they are. And a lot of them seem repetitive....-.-;
So who do you see?
So yeah...still really bored...I might go watch some anime...or a movie or something....WAIT! I should go watch K-On!....I wonder if there are new episodes posted on youtube...hrmmm...
Then maybe I should watch Rosario + Vampire...or Moetan...or something....Hmmm...I wonder how many anime shows there are...OOH! Google! Darn....it's not as easy as I thought it would. Well, somebody found out the anime with the most episodes ever...so why couldn't somebody find out how many anime shows there are....I wonder if it's possible to watch them all....let's see...30 minutes per episode...No wait, about 20 is average....Nope, it's impossible, you can only watch 262,800 episodes wait....that doesn't make any sense! You could watch more than that...let me try again...2,629,743.83....hmm...so only about 3 million episodes....? I think that's fair to say. Most series are 26 episodes long soo...101,144 series...and that's from birth to death at 100...Okay, that was a bad calculation, but still. If you watched anime for your entire life since birth and die at 100 then that how much anime shows you'd be able to watch if you were not disturbed at all. Yep, fairly complicated...O.o
So probably a normal person could only be able to watch about 1,000 anime series or something...if they really tried I guess...
The first anime series was Otogi Manga Calendar...O.o It was released or whatever you'd call it in 1961...Holy crap...am I going to be the person to figure this out? Well, I don't have anything better to do...
*sniff*
I'm sad...
I drew this really adorable picture kinda in a Nao Goto style and kinda in my own of this sheep girl and I was coloring it in a new way that I got from some tutorial on DA and it looked really, really good (it was on photoshop if you're wondering) and then I opened some kinda window that I didn't want open so I pressed the exit button, and then I didn't realize that I was on photoshop when I pressed the exit button and not the window and I even said "no" immediately because I thought it was for the window I was closing...
It took me like 3 hours to draw that! Well, actually something like 45, but it felt like forever. I also drew several different versions of the sheep girl and this was the picture I liked best, but it's gone! I don't feel like drawing today...and today I was going to draw a lotta stuff since it's Saturday...
Also, after I accidentally closed the window, my mom made me go get the mail, so I go get it, and there's nothing in it, but I can't see very well since it's 8:00 here and it's pretty dark, but it's not like black dark, it's like...dark dark...I don't know how to explain it, like another color...that doesn't exist. Anyways, I go back to my mom and she yells at me and then sends my brother outside to go get it, and then he comes back with no mail either, so then my mom apologizes and we all laugh, but still...one semi bad thing after another.
And how come all these really good artists like Digi Charat so much? Most of the artists whose art I looked at on Aethereality had Digi Charat art, and then that one artist who made that "Draw with Me" video on youtube also made a Digi Charat fan video...I don't get it! What's so good about it? It's not that I don't like, I've never seen it, well, actually I saw the first episode and I can't remember why I stopped watching it. But how come so many people like it? And then the same thing for Touhou, all these really good artists are drawing characters from Touhou, but that's okay, I understand, Touhou is a good game, my brother loves it (and got practically everybody at my old school and his new school to like it).
Oh! Since I was drawing that really cute picture and all, it was really fun to draw it, but it was in the cute style, not the beautiful style or the beautifully cute style....-.-; Ummm...so now I'm thinking to draw in that style, my only problem is that I want my boys to look beautiful and not all childish (except for the ones who are supposed to be) and I don't want great contrast in boys and girls like in CLAMP...-.-; Not that CLAMP is using the cute style, they use the beautifully cute style. Anyways...I CAN'T DECIDE!! TT.TT It's killing me! Cute is fun to do because you can see your art get cute really fast, but beautiful is hard because you have to add in details to make it beautiful...so I might draw more in the cute style from now on...Gosh, listening to this music (Ashitaka and San from Princess Mononoke) is really making this sound dramatic...O.O;
Again, my only problem is how Clockwork will look in the cute style. I want it to be cute and creepy and funny at the same time, but not too cute....then again it would kinda create a new version of creepy, having a cute style but creepy things, like Higurashi no Naku (or whatever it's called, I remember it having a long name)...if I'm right...I can't remember.
OH! Nao Goto DID do a manga, it's called Dengeki Aegis 5, unfortunately it's not very popular at all and I can't find it anywhere....-.-; Also, Nao Goto just illustrated it, and I don't even know if it's a manga...TT.TT I wanna draw one of the characters, though! ^ ^ I wanna draw the blonde in this picture here (I think her name is Ryo):
I really like how a strip of hair is pink! ^ ^ She looks fun to color because of that! ^ ^
Ummm...I was going somewhere with the paragraph that started in "Again, my only problem"...but I forgot where that was...O.o;
I just thought of something! NEW MANGA! *hits self* Okay, I haven't really been telling you guys what's really going on with any of my manga. Most of them have been thrown out because I either can't think of a plot, don't know where it's going, I didn't like it, or I only got a little bit into the story. So the only ones that I'm doing right now are Clockwork, Mariko!, and that Ouran fanmanga (though I'm not sure if I'll continue, I keep forgetting where I'm going with it, but I guess I could continue it during school time since my friend LOVES it to death, well, as much as I do, but it's her favorite manga/anime).
So about this new manga idea, I'm actually kinda continuing this one I abandoned because I couldn't think of any characters, but this time I'll add more characters and all. So the idea is simple, but hard to explain, and I have no clue what genre it'd be in. It's basically about normal life, except more emphasis on the strange things that the characters dream, that's about it. And then how those dreams affect them in reality. Did I explain it well? I really can't tell...The only problem is that I don't know if you'd call it a slice-of-life manga or a fantasy...or both? But then that wouldn't work right...hmm...it's definitely a comedy...Also, this way, any ideas for manga that I think of I can jut put them in here, that simple! ^ ^;
This idea was inspired by Nao Goto pictures, nothing else, just so you know. It's not based off of Paprika or anything, that's like a whole 'nother story, that's about reality and dreams as one kinda, and it's in the future, so it's completely different.
I'll probably start it before summer, and then continue. Since it doesn't have a story, I'm pretty sure I won't be making any redos.
Oooh! I'm so happy with all my mangas! ^ ^ Just saying....or thinking out loud...
I'll go design characters now! This'll be fun! ^ ^
*cries*
My poor markers!! TT.TT I love coloring with COPICs, but the worst part about them is that they run out!!! I was trying to color the cover for Clockwork (it's really colorful partly, and I don't like it) and I was coloring Alice's dress, since she wears only black and my last black marker is starting to run out! And all of grays are running out so I can't use those!! Waaahh!!
Also! I messed up a lot on the coloring, and I really liked this picture!! TT.TT Umm...I guess I should just try and finish and then do the chapters...-.-; That way I won't lose more colors. But I guess my one time trying to draw and color has been ruined and I'm back to staring at pictures....-.-; OH YEAH!! Haruka Kanata's pictures!! Those'll be easier on me...though they need a lotta brown, black, and purple, and those are my worst coloring ares....!.!
OH! About my fanart! I can't do them...well, I can't do them well. That Harvest Moon fanart with all the characters? I absolutely can't do that, why? THERE ARE 125 CHARACTERS TO DRAW!! TT.TT I can't do all of them!! I tried, but I don't have big enough paper, and if I did get bigger paper you'd only get a bad quality picture because paper any bigger wouldn't be able to fit in my printer! TT.TT And then I was going to draw a picture of all the goddesses from Zelda around a triforce and then Ganondorf, Link, and Zelda in the triforce pieces....but again, I don't have big enough paper and they won't fit. Then my Fire Emblem fanart....well, the clothes and stuff are too complicated and I don't know what to draw...-.-; Then SSBB, same thing for Fire Emblem, and I need bigger paper. And lastly, Shugo Chara, I CAN do that fanart, but not very well since I don't know how to do the poses. It's a picture of Amu and all of her transformations, but I don't know what poses to do them in, and when I do, I can't draw them...
I'm actually feeling better listening to this music, though I have such bad news. The music is umm...The Tale of Ashitaka, from Princess Mononoke. I'm just listening to random songs on my MP3 player and it just so happens that I'm listening to that one...I like music from movies, classical music, and orchestral music....dunno why, just makes everything seem so peaceful or gives me a lotta inspiration. Then for some reason I like the opposite of that, up-beat techno-pop and j-pop and dance songs....O.o; But I also like oriental music, but it's basically music that you can easily identify, and I don't know why I like it, I just do, I don't like other music because they either don't don't sound right, don't even sound like music, make me bored, or make me very uncomfortable (like some song my friend kept on singing...something about "do you wanna be a rock star?" or something like that). I don't like ANY new American music at all, it all sounds bad or scary.....Umm...I dunno why I'm talking about music...O.o;
OH! Hey! Let's go onto a funner (is it a word?) topic! What do I think you guys look like...or have in my mind what you look like! So here are a list of people I usually notice:
krokun: A chibi...umm...don't know why...just remind me of one. It doesn't really matter what the chibi looks like, it's different every time I talk to you.
Ametsu the Ninja: Ummm...well, I keep seeing you as a girl with short hair and sleepy face with brown hair...even though I know you have long hair...^ ^;
Shydust: Ehem, I know what she looks like! ^ ^; I got to school with her, so yeah...(or used to)
Moonlitdream: Umm, exactly how you draw yourself, with a ponytail and blue hair...O.o;
Pink-pineapple: Looks like Emma Roberts...dunno why, I can't get the image outta my mind whenever I read one of your posts! O.o; So usually I don't know what your avatar looks like...O.o
Harvestmoonluvr: A girl with medium length brown hair with a happy face! ^ ^
Kuroi Hihane: Some days I see you as a boy...and that's really weird...O.O But most of the time I see you a normal teenager with short brown hair and earrings.
Kitty K.O: Umm...well...your avatar...except happier! ^ ^
Paulini: Some girl with pink hair...O.o With a sweet face! ^ ^
Sooo yeah...well, you wonder why most of these sound outrageous, well, I think of each of you as an anime character, 'cept pink-pineapple on some days. And for anyone else, I usually just think of you as your avatar, I don't know you enough to think of anything else, or I haven't seen enough of your art, or you haven't drawn yourself.
Okay! That was really fun, but I don't wanna go back and draw!! TT.TT It's all messy at my desk and everything keeps on falling on me! Oh! It's also really tiny and used to be the desk for my computer. Now I have my TV (that used to be a DVD player, but it doesn't work, and it doesn't have cable) and my PS2 and then a whole lotta manga, DS games, PS2 games, DVDs, and books and pencils. My brother is going to by parts for a computer he's going to make and it's gonna be like a super computer, but it's gonna cost a lotta money, but when he gets enough money and buys and makes it, I get the main computer, at least that was the deal, and my parents get the computer I'm on, which is theirs, anyways. The only problem is that they said that they'd put it in my room, but it won't fit!! I say we keep it downstairs and my brother's computer can be in his room...but I don't know how big it is...>.>
Well, bye-bye...I'm going to go....do something...
Hungry....-.-
I'm hungry, and just typing this while I'm waiting for my brother to finish making the cinnamon rolls.
Today I woke up and drew an adorable sheep which I tried coloring in that one rainbow style I was talking about with the koi fish and all, and it turned out pretty good, but if I hadn't put in blue then it would've looked better. The guy who did the rainbow stuff had really light colors and colors that were a few shades under that, but I didn't so the blue was REALLY dark...-.-; Anyway, at least the sheep looks cute! ^ ^
And then I tried that kimono kinda coloring, that didn't work because I don't have very light colors...-.-; I need more copics....and I need some ink refilling stuff because most of my inks are running out, I just wonder how much they cost, I can't seem to find them anywhere on the internet.
After drawing a cute wittle sheepy (I loves sheep, 'specially in anime because they're sooo adorable) I've decided on how I can change my style. I can make it a mixture of cute and beautiful, how? Well...ummm...wait, why did I type that? I don't care I'm leaving it because I'm too lazy to figure out how to continue this post without putting in random things, 'cause that's who I am!
Anyways, the background in this world is from Tukiji Nao, and notice how it isn't very detailed at all, that's the kinda style I'm shooting for. I also wanna try those shiny red tip kinda coloring with the skin. Like with the fingers, shoulders, elbows, knees, and stuff like that.
What else to talk about? Oh yeah! I'm probably gonna draw a lot today...I wanna make a cute picture! ^ ^ I'm going to finally draw those two pictures that Haruka Kanata asked me to draw, after all, she won my contest....I feel really bad...TT.TT;
Oh! Also I've been reading in my books and stuff, reading interviews with traditional manga artists and everything. And most of them said they first started coloring with copics a few years ago and such and such, and then I just thought to myself ,"Haha! I started when I was 11/12 so hah! I'm bettah than you!!" But that's just my weird me speaking in my head. Yes, I try to find mistakes in drawings and stuff, and try to figure out who's better and everything, but I usually think people are much better than me and then try to get better...
I keep telling myself I'm better at copics than a lot of people, but whenever I scan them I notice how bad they look, now I don't know if it's my scanner, and I think it probably is. It messes with the coloring and makes my strokes more defining than what they look like in real life....I think I need a new scanner, I can't get any better, at least my art won't look any better if I keep using that scanner. What kinda scanners do you guys recommend? I'm not buying one right now or anything, I just wanna know what a good scanner is. I used to have a really good scanner, but then it died...and then my other one which I'm using can only be used for lineart, and I don't like showing people my line art, it's a waste of time to scan it, post it, and then go back and color it. If I post it, I'm not messing with it again, that usually happens...-.-;
Anyways, I think the cinnamon rolls are almost ready...I'm gonna go get some, and then go back to drawing a lot! ^ ^; I have enough manga to keep me company (umm....not for talking, I'm kinda using a metaphor here, more manga to look at and get inspiration) so I don't think I'll have to keep rushing back to the computer to figure out what to do (like an FAQ for a video game, but it's just a picture)....
Bye-bye! ^ ^
NAM! NAM!
Not talking about Vietnam, it's eating something good sound! Nam nam nam...Mmm! ^ ^
Well, it's just that three things happening today have to do with food....kind of...
Today I watched Paprika! It was....weird...I didn't really like that the beautiful girl and the fat guy liked eachother...I mean, I know, pretty people falling in love is too much of the same, but I REALLY don't like fat people! I don't know why...maybe because all of the stupid kids at school are fat...hmm...lazy and such...-.-; Anyways, it was a really hard movie to understand and I can't explain it to you at all...something about dreams...that's all I understood...O.o;
And then today I renamed Serenity Falls as Loli-pop because Serenity Falls sounds corny and I just named it that for like a test to see how a world would work, but I forgot to change it. So now I named is Loli-pop and I changed the background! ^ ^
(Wow this song is really bad quality...deleting time!)
Then the last thing that has to do with food is that I'm having pizza for dinner! YAY! ^ ^ I like pizza, 'specially Digorno, but I don't get their slogan: It's not delivery, it's Digorno....but Digorno doesn't taste ANYTHING like delivery, they both have their own kindsa pizza tastes, delivery tastes more buttery and salty, while with Digorno, you can taste the sauce, cheese, and everything like that, and the crusts are definitely different. Delivery's soft, and Digorno's chewy...OMIGOSH! Chewy! Nuuuu!! I can't eat it!! TT.TT It's gonna hurt because my teeth still hurt, and one tooth feels loose, I could push it up and down...I dunno if that's bad or not....
So onto a new topic! ART! Wee!! ^ ^ I've been looking at artist's with cute 'n adorable styles (I'm sick of most of them, like Koge Donbo's, but there are three that I never get tired of...I don't really need to tell you, do I?). Anyways, this one artist named Nao Goto (strange thing is that the name is like a mixture of my favorite artist, Tukiji Nao, and favorite singer, Maki Goto's names) has probably the cutest and THE best style I've ever seen!! It's so clean and beautiful!! Here's one picture that I can't stop loving, it's not my favorite, but every time I see it I'm like, "That's the cutest picture in the whole world!!":
I don't know why I like it, maybe the hands, the angle, and the kittehs!! They're so cute! I pet my cat for a REALLY long time today, but I couldn't help it! She was soooo cute! ^ ^
I'd have to say Nao Goto's my second favorite artist. Okay! Okay! New list of favorites:
6. Haruhiko Mikimoto
5. Keichi Sumi
4. Rain
3. Kouyu Shurei
2. Nao Goto
1. Tukiji Nao/Yoshiyuki Sadamoto
Yes, I know, a tie on first place, but I LOVE Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's art TO DEATH!! Yoshiyuki Sadamoto is the person who does most of the art for Gainax. All of it is like a grown up version of Nao Goto's art, that's how I see it....strange way of thinking....O.o;
Hmm....but does anybody know if Nao Goto has done a manga or anything? I can't anything on...them....see, I don't even know what their gender is!! TT.TT Yes, that's right, Nao's a unisex name...-.-;
I really wonder what Yoshiyuki Sadamoto uses to color? I can't tell...Colored Pencils? I can't tell...-.-
Woops! I'm neglectin' meh work! I WAS going to work on Clockwork, but...umm...yeah...I don't know what happened...it's already 7:30 here...O.o;
Yeah, I was going to draw the pages and color the cover and everything, but I kinda strayed away from that...
Rrrggghhhh!!! I keep wanting to make a slice-of-life manga!! TT.TT All of my other tries failed and I don't know what to do...I keep thinking there has to be a story!! Plus I really don't know how one should play out...-.-; I just want a more green manga, 'cause Mariko is pink and silver, and Clockwork is black and white! Yes, I think of my mangas as colors, actually, I think of everything as colors, I usually use them as examples in many ways...
Looking at all these artist's work keeps putting this idea into my head. If they were at an anime convention doing commissions, what would I commission...would I stay there and watch...Hmm, that would actually be fun, watching somebody really good at drawing...draw...^ ^;
Hrrmmm...I should get to work after pizza. I'll draw a picture comparing my two works: Adorable and Beautiful, because I really don't know which one is better. I can't decide, I'll probably do both since I saw an artist on Aethereality do that same...though their adorable version was really poorly draw, I mean, sorry for saying so, but they eyes were in the wrong place, sometimes not the same size, and the head wasn't shaped right...like it just looked like a triangle instead of an organic shaped head!
'nyways...I should be drawing something, but I'm REALLY bored...-.-; I want to stay on the computer, but I don't want to draw on any computer program (unless it's Sai, but I don't have that program)...OH! Youtube videos! Perfect idea! ^ ^
