What are they called?
Okay, sorry guys, another post, but to make up for it I drew a cute little picture of some random girl (who looks like Hotaru from Sailor Moon) in a kimono:
Anyways, I was thinking of trying a new coloring style that I've seen in my book. I now have enough knowledge of the way of the marker to do this! There was some guy who was showing how he colored and he had this picture of a guy with a koi fish that he was going to color. The koi fish turn out to be beautifully rainbow with scales and such, and it didn't even look like it was done with markers!! O.O So I wanna try doing that!
Also! I saw this picture by Tukiji Nao of a girl in a kimono with tons of flowers in her hair and her kimono looked so realistic even though it was just because of the colors Tukiji used that the girl's kimono looked realistic...O.O I'm still thinking of how to do it though.
And another thing, that gets to the main topic is that, I CAN NOT draw flowers, or a least don't know how, so I'm going to attempt drawing several flowers. And I'll try that new coloring technique and have a girl with a kimono in the picture! ^ ^ So I'm been researching flowers and staring at them, but there's this one kind of flower that I keep seeing everywhere, but I want to know what it looks like in real life!! TT.TT
Umm, that kind of flower is in Jigoku Shoujo, y'know the kind that looks like it's made out of strings? Let me try and find a picture...wait...is it called a chrysanthemum? WAIT! I figured it out! Yes! ^ ^
It IS a chrysanthemum! Wow...figuring things out on my own, I have to stop asking people first...Well, actually I just was trying to figure out how to find a picture and then I remember that in the Curse of the Golden Flower Empress Phoenix's symbol thing for her revolt against the Emperor was that kind of flower...then I remembered that it's based off of the Chrysanthemum festival! So then I look up a chrysanthemum on google and I found a picture that looks like the kind of flower I was thinking of! ^ ^
Also, it said on wiki that Kuki, or Chrysanthemum's are Enma Ai's flower...thing...I forgot the rest...-.-;
Well, I drew the cover for Clockwork! I drew a clock!! YAY! ^ ^ I'm so proud of myself because every time it doesn't look like a clock when I draw it out...-.-; And I gave the clock roman numerals...though I'm not sure if they're right...is IX 9 or is XI 9?
Another thing about the picture, the inking seems to be pretty good! I'm proud on the inking also, though this time I inked it on the same paper...I was tired of wasting paper to make bad inking lines. I'd rather have them slightly lighter than usual black than wavy bad lines....-.-;
I've started to watch this anime called Moetan, I've only seen the first few minutes of the first episode, though. It's really cute! I'm mostly admiring the art and trying to learn japanese by watching it. Moetan is a anime/video game for japanese otakus who want to learn English, or something like that, so since it's in Japanese, I was thinking maybe I'll be able to learn Japanese this way! ^ ^ Cute and otaku way to learn japanese! ^ ^ Anyways, look how cute it is!!:
I keep talking about Aethereality, but I really like that website!! !.! Today I looked at really cute drawings by several different artists, and a lot of them were...umm...showing underwear and the likes? But it looks soo fun to draw (neh, I's a pervert), so now I wanna draw a picture like that, or draw characters in swimsuits in a cute style, but I dunno...
Lately I've been very confused (I usually am) because I can't tell which style I like better the adorably cute style, or the beautifully realistic style!! TT.TT What do you guys think? Cute or beautiful? I can't decide at all!! TT.TT The cute style seems really easy, but it's pretty hard for me...so that's the thing....but it looks fun to try...
Ummm...Should I Change Something? O.o
Well, since today I can't think of anything to draw and I want to draw the cover for Clockwork, I started looking more on Aethereality for some ideas...well, I haven't found an idea yet, but....this picture!!:
What the heck!? Should I change something!? Look, there's Smith R., Resora L., AND Vincent!! O.O Well, the only difference is that Smith R. is shorter, has curly hair, and has a more innocent face, and Vicent has dark brown hair....But this is REALLY creepy! Well, I dunno if creepy is the word...but still...should I change something to make them look more different from them or something? Well, I already listed the things that make them different and all, but....Resora L.....!!! TT.TT The weirdest thing is that Resora L. has the same exact expression as I'd give him, same hair, cat ears, and SAME EYES!! 'cept Resora L. wears punk/gothic lolita clothes....still!! TT.TT
I'm probably going to post something else on here today...but I'm not gonna wait all day just to post this, so sorry, there'll probably be more than one post today since this post is soooo short!
SORRY!!
Sorry that I keep posting so many times per day on here...it's just that I type something really long, then I get another idea and type another post, and then it repeats over and over!! SORRY!! The strange thing is that I don't even remember doing what I said in those posts today! It seemed so long ago!
Well...after staring at more of Tukiji Nao's art I noticed a constant style of the characters being dolls, the same for many other artists I looked at. And this picture right here REALLY inspired me.
You just see some kimono girl and another girl with a kimono without one leg and you can tell that she's a doll, but at the bottom, you can see kid...or something...with doll body parts around him.
And then I keep seeing guys with stitched cloth over their face and leathery clothes with long white hair. So that gave me an idea! Why don't I finally make a villain for Clockwork!? I mean, I still haven't thought of one...-.-;
So what I have as a villain is a guy who works in a clock shop, but on the side he draws dolls, a LOT of dolls. He can also make them seem alive by using them as puppets, but he put some kinda special device in his glove so that he can...what do you call it...make them alive? from a far distance without strings. But he has really low confidence when it comes to making his dolls, which is why he owns a clock shop instead of a doll shop. He doesn't think his dolls are beautiful enough, so he searches for beautiful people to create dolls out of.
Ummm...if you didn't think he was such a villain, think about it, SEARCHES FOR BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE TO CREATE DOLLS OUT OF....What kinda idea does it give you? It shouldn't give you a pretty picture.
Anyways! I feel like making really detailed and weird! So I've decided to give him LOOOONG black nails (as long as I got mine before I cut them to stubs, I shoulda taken a picture to show you guys....O.o;), long white hair (maybe), leathery cloth over his face, leathery clothes, and some kinda weird looking gloves...I might make them look like spider webs...I dunno...Hmm...I'll probably try drawing him tomorrow. What color eyes...? Hmmm...let's just go with red-ish brown with golden rings around them....And with a feminine face! ^ ^ Ah! Sounds fun...the only problem is...would you buy clocks from him? Maybe I could make him look nicer when he buys clocks....like a super villain! By day he's a nice ol' clock shop owner, by nightfall he is an evil puppeteer! ^ ^ MUAHAHAHAHAAAHAAAAAAHHH!!
But my only issue is, should he have long white hair or not? Or I could give him nicer hair...or what? See, I don't want him to look like Sephiroth or anything, because the way I'm thinking right now, he does...>.< I'll give him black lip-stick and colorful earrings...that'll fix it, right? AND GLASSES! Yes! I need a person with glasses!! Yes, yes....
Oh! I was also thinking of giving him a really nice personality that makes him seem more like a nut. He'd be kind, generous, smart, all positive things, but he kinda changes when it comes to dolls, he seems kinda creepy when it comes to dolls. And yeah, think back to what I said before, there's more than enough reasons for him to be a villain, I mean, who wouldn't want Alice?
OH! Examples of cloth on their face:

I'm not sure if I want that much on his face...
http://gallery.aethereality.net/download.php?id=6898
I'd probably make it stitched to his face, or more like the last picture, and I don't know if I'd wanna put it over his eye or not...
*dies*
Y'know how in my last post I was talking about how my favorite artist is Tukiji Nao? Well, I just looked up more of...his...her? art on google...Guess what? THERE'S LORD OF THE RINGS ART!!! TT.TT It's incredible! And there's a WHOLE lotta it! Wee!! I'm so happy looking at these pictures! ^ ^ I'd make a wallpaper, but the quality is bad, and I have to register to view it in good quality...-.-;

I keep saying egad a lot...I'll probably continue saying that because it's a fun word! ^ ^ EGAD, MON! EGAD!!! Weee!! ^ ^ Wasn't the professor in Luigi's Mansion named Egad?
And Tukiji Nao makes stationary!! I wanna buy some!! But I don't know what I'd do with it...O.O; Any ideas? I don't send letters, I e-mail...so that wouldn't work...
Oh! And I really wanna try to draw more like Tukiji Nao! So I've made my drawings more detailed with lotsa flowers! ^ ^ I'd post one I just did, but I don't know how to take a picture with meh webcam....and I don't have a scanner, either...-.-;
Oh, well! Ofta admire more of Tukiji Nao's artwork!! 
Favorite Arists!!
Yay! List of my favorite artists with links to their gallery on Aethereality! ^ ^ I'll have it in order of my favorites. Umm....I took Kaori Yuki out because I LOVE her art too death, but her style isn't my favorite and it's kinda scary and it's too good...Yesh, taken outta contest for being to good! ^ ^; And other artists that I love, but are too popular, too common, or I might only like them because of their manga.

I really love the style and coloring, but I don't like the pictures...yaoi is just not for me, 'tis why I'll never watch or read Loveless no matter the story...I'm not against yaoi or anything, I just don't like seeing it 'specially with these kindsa characters.
19. Kaori Minakami
http://gallery.aethereality.net/list/artist/138/
I love her traditional style, but in another style she's not that good. I mean, nice style, but that's only in a few pictures, plus they're kinda creepy.

It's not just the detail, but the many artists I've seen with tons of detail have bad proportions, unlike this artist! AMAZING!! And I love all the fanart! The coloring is also amazing. This is like a mixture of overly detailed, creepy, adorable, and realistic! It's amazing!
Here's just the picture that made me fall in love with this style:
Okay! G'bye now! Having more fun looking at pictures! Ummm....I think I should go draw sometime...
