Huzzah! Productivity!
I'm listening to my brother watch Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring...I would watch it myself, but the first movie isn't really my favourite, I'm waiting for the second one~! >:D
I only spent a few hours of my day NOT doing something! I think liike 2 hours...*.* I'm proud of meself~! X3
I've gotten back into that rewarding myself with anime thing, but instead I think of it as doing something productive since that's the time I spend watching something from a different country, why not hear some different languages, too?
But I'm a bit on the verge of panic because I was once again reminded that I don't know what to do in life...TT^TT Well, I do, but then I don't...I want to do so many things and I feel like the door into college is VERY small...or actually, door to jobs 'cause none of the things I feel passionate for are really needed...baaahhh....
ANYWAYS...
I stayed up all night last night (again playing video games) playing Goemon's Great Adventure with my brother, which is one of my very favourite video games~! X3 It's for the N64 and has AMAZING music~! <333 So we were singing along (y'know, how you sing to instrumentals 'n stuff...the game doesn't really have any singing except for the main theme, but that's only in the japanese version) the entire time. I was INCREDIBLY happy 'cause I LOVE playing that game and I'm really bad at it so I have to have my brother help me....
But we don't have the thing to save it with so we just tried to see how far we could go...which is basically the same place we always get to, Kokeshi Road...which has EXCELLENT music~! <333 (As does the rest of the game).
Oh! Want to see what I've been doing this entire time?
6 requests done, 3 WIPs, and 5 more to go...;w; That would mean I'd have 14 by the end of it...gahhh...
At least I have 2 with lineart that just need some colouring...but still...2 of my requests I still have to do only have on person, 3 have more than one (and one of those three has 4 plus cats...TT^TT)...
So I'm busy busy, yet I feel I haven't done anything just because I haven't posted on here....TT^TT
My style has changed, though....it looks more like Kinu Nishimura's...which is a TOTAL accident...That's what I get for look at a certain artist's art way too long...>3>
Ah, well, I have other artists on my list. It'll change.
I'm thinking of going back to the drawing while on the computer thing...I think that helped me tons...
Of course then I have those other things to do...let's just make a list ('cause lists are fun):
Finish 8 requests
Study Korean
Study Japanese
Study Spanish
Study Chinese
Study etc. language
Study US History
Write story for application
Write essay for application
Write project outline for application
Plan story
Organize Anime Club
Study Academic Team stuff
And then if I put practice art on top of that...ugghhh...Now, three of those can be done and over with (but I procrastinate way too much...TT^TT), but the rest I try to do everyday...and I only have about 3-4 hours...
Do you think I'm overworking myself?
Does anybody have any advice as to how I can fix my overworking of myself and still get things done?...;3;
Well...sounds like The Fellowship of the Ring is over...XD Sorry for the rant! ;3; Bye-bye!
Lookin' at sexy picccsss...
Not really, but art is very sexy...
Well, certain kinds.
Not the kinds that I'm looking at though...XD
I just really like Kinu Nishimura's art style...and ooooh....elna...*.*
This one in particular gives me shivers...;w;
Sheesh! SHEESH! Why so good? Why so good?
I should PROBABLY go to bed....but I don' wanna...
And I need to go to be the bathroom...and I DO want to...but then that means I have to go to bed...;m;
I haven't done anything these past few days...which isn't at all a good thing (doing nothing is never a good thing)...I haven't worked on any of meh application stuff (which is due next week...urp!!) or any of the requests from DA that I've been putting off for about a month or so orrrr my homework which is due Monday (which in reality won't take me very long)...bahhh
And then I worry about if I get Skyward Sword...then I'll not do anything again because I'll be playing it non-stop, probably...;m; Curse meself for making me so busy.....
But in the meanwhile of doing nothing, lemme share some of my favourite artists for today~! :D
Kinu Nishimura is a HUGE HUGE HUGE favourite:
Oi...listenin' to Princess Mononoke music...Howl's Moving Castle was on and I cried because I hadn't watched any anime on TV in SOOOO long because there doesn't seem to be anything that interests me on...I need to get back to watching anime and stuffs...I stopped for a while to focus on my future career plans, but since the illustration career I was building up for myself was shot I'm now free to be myself in my art (the chains of art critics are now gone~!).
Anyways....next person....Range Murata~! In particularly, the way how he draws men:
Tite Kubo!!
I've actually always liked Tite Kubo's art...I just didn't want to admit it! XD But since I want to draw in a more shounen style I'll unleash that side of me. I like his art...just not Bleach...Bleach bores me for some reason, even though it's action-y and has samurai stuffs in it...maybe it's the supernatural side? Maybe it's the characters? Ichigo's probably the only character I actually like...O.o;
Shunya Yamashita~! Mainly his males...
Although, he's not like Range Murata with his males being almost twice as good as his females, I still like the way Shunya draws his guys...as well as girls. I like how designs things. They're really out there most of the time and they have TONS of detail. I guess it's easier to do weird designs with less clothing...XD
Well...I guess that's enough for now... guess it's time to go to bed...as my bladder is about to burst...
It took me too long to find Shunya Yamashita's work...;m;
Okay! Bye-bye~!
Doo-pi-doo~! Animoo~!
Thanksgiving Break HUZZAH!
I don't want to do anything...because it's a break...but I probably have to...>3>
My brother came over the break and we stayed up until 1 AM playing video games last night...XD
Annnnyyywaaaysss....
I just realized something that is probably the most obvious thing in the world...
Most of the really popular anime and manga...the mangaka are drawing in styles that most of the time have never been seen before...and then the times change with them (so people who don't look very original now probably were at the time they debuted)...of course, there are some who can just tell really good stories can get popular that way, but mainly it's the style...
So work towards making sure you have your own style and maybe you'll be noticed much more than other artists!
Looking on pixiv...most of my very favourites have very original styles...and they're also incredibly popular just for that...XD
Also...what's with all these shoujo artbooks. Where is some bishounen or just plain shounen? I have to go to video game artbooks to get even a tad bit of shounen...;m;
Oh! I also found a picture of a certain someone (I don't know who they are, by the way) that I've been looking for FOREVER:
That guy in the middle...is...the most...HANDSOME GUY I'VE EVER SEEN IN ANYTHING! Just catches me every time.
I found this exact picture in some magazine and have been looking for it ever since, and I've finally found it. It's from some kinda yaoi visual novel...>3>
'nyways....I've been looking up lots of shounen art...and still...not enough shounen art...it really bothers me...Or there's not enough shounen art of BOYS...(I keep finding shounen-styled art of girls....O.o;).
So I must ask...
Please tell me what mangaka or just artists in general you thinking draw the best guys?
I want to figure out how to draw guys better and I need to pay attention to the mangaka that draw guys more since right now I'm paying the most attention to mangaka who draw girls really well...(at least, it feels like that....then again, Ayami Kojima, Ayumi Kasai, Nona, etc. all mainly draw guys...XD)...
Oh, I've also noticed that certain male mangaka who draw a lot of girls, and are mainly draw girls (like Range Murata) are also REALLY good at drawing guys. They're usually very realistic and have almost perfect anatomy...while their girls look more signature...I just thinking it's weird....
Well...I dunno what to do now...I'm making today and tomorrow my do nothing days...and then I'll do stuff on Friday....(which may not be a good idea if we get Zelda Skyward sword...maybe I'll work more tomorrow than I plan, just in case...XD).
Oh, yeah. My brother pre-ordered Skyward Sword...we still don't have it...even though it released the 20th....>3> Makes me mad...I want it NOOOW...(that reminds me of a song:
I love Willy Wonka! XD
Ran out of things to talk about...XD
Bye-bye!
What!?...O.o; And a bit of YAY~! :D
...I just now found out that Yamashita Tomohisa and Ryo Nishikido left NEWS...even though it old news...
For some reason I felt a great sense of sadness at that...even though I really hate Nishikido...I guess it's the fact that I never thought that the members would leave each other...and then I realize that, yes, it's possible...
;m;
I'm glad that Tegoshi Yuya didn't leave though (not that he'd have any specific reason to leave...O.o;)
But it makes sense why they left...I'm surprised they stayed, now actually I'm surprised they had gotten so much work even though they're obviously in another group with lots of fans. But their fans can go elsewhere...
Bahh...;m; I just like big groups! TT^TT It's sad seeing small ones.
But then at the same time I'm happy and excited because WOOOT! NISHIKIDO LEFT~! :D I really don't like that...his smile, his voice, it all makes me feel unpleasant...sorry to any Nishikido fans...I'm just totally not a fan of him. And Tomohisa Yamashita, I'm KINDA sad, but yeah, he has been VERY busy with a lot of stuff lately, and also I kinda felt like he WASN'T apart of NEWS sometimes because he was in so many things by himself.
I like it better when people who leave groups become solo artists, but when it's like with Morning Musume and they leave and most of the time they don't do anything, that's when I get kinda upset even if the same rules don't apply to some other group...;m;
I think Johnny&Associates needs a group like Morning Musume. It just needs to be done...I've been waiting for the male version for a while, and I thought that it'd be Hey!Say!JUMP, but it's not really...
To me NEWS is like C-ute with the members leaving...;m; I mean, it's fine with them leaving, but still...>3> The fact that somebody probably won't replace them makes me sad...(though I should be sad that they're being replaced).
Anywaaayyysss...enough with this rant...XD
I have to go work on some boring application stufff...baahhhh...;m; I'll be glad when it's over because then I can finally have some time to draw!
EDIT: I don't think this person is really who they are...
This person:
I don't think they're who they say they are...and it REALLY bothers me because I don't have any exact evidence because they even link to the actual artist's website...buuut
My only bit of evidence is the language. This person speaks English PERFECTLY, even the slang...Unless this person is really good at speaking two languages, I don't think they're the same person. Also on the actual website I found some bits that WERE in English:
"this site is prohibition to reproduce images and other all things without permission!!
Using images and other all things on other website swith out permission is strictly prohibited. click me/OFP
*
"
Now, does that sound like somebody who is really that great at speaking English?
I feel like e-mailing this artist...XD But I'm too nervous to...I mean, I've been wrong before...buut...ughhh...I really don't believe this person...;m;
---
Nevermind, I reported them anyways. They translate the comments that the artist has on their pixiv post into English, except for some where there is added information.
First of all, most artists do not copy and paste a translation of what they said, and second the user kept adding slang which I doubt anybody who didn't speak English would not know about. So even if it was the same person, that tiny detail shows that it cannot be.
Now, I just hope I'm right about this...;m; Or else I've just wasted everyone's time...;orz
