Projects, projects, projects
I find this somewhat important! So I'm posting it!
About theotaku.com fantasia...I PMed adam and I still haven't gotten a response so I'm just going to start it as just 'Fantasia' and if I can get the approval to call it 'theO Fantasia' I will.
I'll begin setting it all up, but I'd like to know if you'd like it as in-depth as the DA Fantasia, with all the different names of the nation etc. and having diverse nations, or having it like the pixiv fantasia where the nations are basically just categories for type of character.
I prefer the categories style, but it seems very unrealistic. For me, if something is unrealistic is bothers me a lot...so, though I prefer the pixiv fantasia more because it's more free, the fact that it's not realistic bothers me, but it doesn't have to be realistic to be fun.
I want to create a challenge for it, also, but I don't know what it would be. Just create your character for Fantasia and whoever's is the best wins? I kinda feel like that's unfair...hrmmm...
I was also thinking about a logo contest for it only because I hate doing logos...XD But I wonder if lots of other people feel the same...
Maybe it would be a challenge for royalty. Whoever has the most interesting and lovable character gets to have theirs king of whatever nation they fall under, or something...
Projects!!
I have a long list of projects! I can't help myself. I like getting a concept like the zodiac and doing various pictures for it. I'll probably do the zodiac first.
I also have the following projects:
Musical Instruments (gijinka)
Legendary Pokemon (gijinka)
Harvest Moon: Animal Parade gender benders
Harvest Moon: Animal Parade children grown up
Sweets (gijinka)
Zodiac
Days of the Week
Chocolate (gijinka)
So most of them are gijinka...XD
I also have an idea to make a simple visual novel-ish flash comic. I was thinking of making it complex, but I'm sure that will take a TON of thinking and I have no clue how to make a visual novel. I'll start with this first and then go onto something else. It'll be kinda like 999, where you have to get all the bad endings to get the good ending.
First you have the introduction (which you can skip) then after being introduced to the characters you 'pursue' whichever you choose and learn about their secrets that add up to the final ending where, when you get back to the characters then you have an extra!
I dunno how I'd get people to play it so many times...but that's the only way I can think of where they can play it without getting bored and having so much repetition...
I'd play it again...*shrugs*
When I was deciding on what sweets to use on my sweets project I decided to look at what some other artists did for theirs, and the majority of the sweets they had I've never heard of! Or I have but I've never had! And I finally found out the name of that one cake with the baby figurine in it. It's called King's Cake or something. I'm definitely using that one 'cause that's a unique cake, mostly because people put paper crowns on it and put plastic figurines in it, not really how it's made (not that it's not unique that way).
Also, I used to always get tarts confused with pies. Not exactly sure why...O.o; I don't know if I like either, though...I know I don't like pies, but I forget what tarts taste like...hrmm..Of, course it depends on the tart! XD
And...omigosh...I want to have a freaking Christmas Cake for Christmas! We always eat cookies or chocolate cake, but...ahhh...christmas cake is so simple and so delicious looking...TT^TT
And I want to try those coloured macarons! They look sooo adorable and colourful~! X3
Also, Tiramisu looks yummy, but I wonder about the texture...how soft are those cookie things inside?
There are bunch of desserts I'd like to try. I should go ask my mom if we can go to an ice cream shop so I can try mint ice cream or pistachio.
Oh! I was looking at my subscribers and I was AMAZED by how many people still subscribed to me! ;w;
I think you guys GREATLY deserve a gift! I will try my very best to make some awesome...Of course, it'll take some time, but I want it too look very good so I refuse to give you something like my most recent picture! >:D
I will try my best to make the Fantasia thing happen! Maybe I'll have it up by tonight or tomorrow or the next day, or the next day, or the next day, or the next day....*cough* Sorry, Spongebob joke...XD I get to go to my friend's tea party on friday~! X3 I'm excited!
Bye-bye~! ^ ^
Sketch Dump~! :D
After making this liiike 3 times...I've FINALLY posted it (or, hopefully...'orz).
This is a mixture of fanart, original art, and doodles of some singers.
Lemme try and quickly identify everything!
From the top right we have a picture of Mansairaku and Hikaru. He doesn't really look that much like Mansairaku, though...hrmm...*looks up a pic of Mansairaku* I guess it's just that his hair isn't red...*shrugs*
To the left is a really quick and bad doodle of Genkaku and Owl...but you can't really tell it's Owl...'orz It's of that part where Genkaku holds Owl's hand is like 'Oh, so you're my savior'...oh, I love that part~! <333
Then there's more Genkaku to the left. Licking him lips and blushing at the sight of crazy Owl.
Then next to him is what is supposed to be Heechul, but it almost looks like a blob (AKA- Looks absolutely nothing like Heechul).
Then down from that is a doodle of Cain and Riff from Godchild. Cain is grabbing Riff's face and he's all like 'You are mine'. It's just what I imagine of the two. Riff doing whatever Cain wants him to do, and Cain showing his affections subtly or something like that...in a cool way. I drew Riff's eyes too big, so he looks weird...O.o;
To the right of that is Oda Nobunaga! It's the Sengoku Basara version of him, with all the fancy helmet and cape and cool stuff like that. I jut felt like drawing an old guy...or middle aged...how old are you, mon!?
Then down right is a quick doodle of that scene from Death Note where light says 'JUST AS PLANNED!'...I love that scene! XD I seem to draw it a lot, too...O.o;
Next to him to the left is a doodle of Koharu Kusumi...who doesn't really look like her...'orz None of my doodles of singers actually look like them. They're just really quick pictures from memory that I drew at the time of listening to their song.
Then to the left of that is a little doodle of Makise Kurisu. It doesn't look like her either. I don't remember her face AT ALL. It's just a complete blank...I can see the rest of her, jut not her face...hrmm....
Down to the right is a picture of none other than SANADA YUKIMURA~! :D I love Yukimura~! X3 It looks smoother in real life, the shading, it looks kinda nasty on here, but I'm pretty proud of it...slightly...slightly proud of it, I mean.
To the right of him is Sarutobi Sasuke. I could barely remember what he looked like and I forgot what his headgear looked like so I didn't draw it. I lost the booklet/manual for Sengoku Basara (the game...I don't have some secret booklet of everything Sengoku Basara, that'd be cool, but I don't think that exists...XD).
Under him is a very quick doodle of Maya that I drew while I flipped through the song on my mp3 player...XD
Down to the right is a pic of Date Masamune. You can barely see his eyepatch, I think I should've shaded that in...O.o;
Next to him to the left is a pic of Enma Ai crying while I listened to BEAUTIFUL music:
I could see it at the end of a movie in the credits...Ohhh, I want a Hell Girl movie really bad...or a movie of any anime...I mean, in the United States...XD That's not Dragon Ball Z...and that is good...and treated like a movie and not some 'alien comic' like they always do...
I've attempted to write a script for Hell Girl several times. In fact, I've done that for a lot of fandom, but I don't think I should be able to do something like that.
I just had an idea to create an 'anime-esque' movie screenplay, inspired by the Suju Attack on the Pin-up Boys movie. Something silly but lovable, like that, but more serious...if you know what I mean. Like a serious movie, not one just for Suju fans.
Back to the sketches! XD
To the left of that is just a quick doodle of some guy kissing some other guy. I just wanted to see if I could draw kissing like that...apparently I can and I'm kinda mad at myself because I did that without being serious, but when I try to be serious about it, I can't draw it...'orz
Next to that on the left is FRODO~! :D My interpretation-ish of Frodo. I was actually trying to draw Elijah Wood, but he looks too chibi-ish...I also forgot what Elija Wood looked like...XD I drew this because I was listening to 'The Shire'...which scared THE.CRAP outta me. I was just quietly sketching these pictures at liike 1 AM and then I hear these really creepy sounds, turns out it was jut an orchestra fading in...'orz I had been listening to mostly pop songs before then, so it was a big surprise and a change! XD
Under him are some doodles of my characters for that story I've been righting.
Directly under Frodo is a doodle of my fox boy~! FOXEH LOXEH! >:D I call foxes Foxy-Loxy's...I dunno why, I always have. He's mischievous and seems a bit evil sometimes. I just likes causing trouble for people, but he is a pretty nice guy, just doesn't like to show it too much, only to certain people he thinks deserves some kindness.
Next to him is the main character. He looks like a girl and seems to be very delicate, but he's actually very strong. He's just naive, childish, and pure, but besides that he's pretteh dern tough. And I drew a profile of him. He's supposed to look like a beautiful shrine maiden, and a lot like his mother, but have the strength of his father and the fire in his eyes like his father.
Ignore that weird half scratched out face, and then we get to the last character I drew from my story. It's my Mulan character! :D Well, I call her that 'cause she has no name and she is also a girl who joined the army when she wasn't supposed to and dresses up as a man. She acts like a boy, too, so it's just natural for her to choose to be a boy. She's a MASTER at bowing. There's this other character that she enjoys messing with who is known to be one of the best bowers in their region, but he isn't as good as her. They're very contrasting because she grew up an orphan in a dangerous village learning to bow just to survive, he grew up in a rich family and got the best schooling and tutors to learn bowing just because he was passionate about it.
I went around a whole other page! XD
Let's start back with Hikaru and Mansairaku, now going down we have doodles of my MaxP pop characters realistically/semi-realitically. I was inspired by Kitty K.O.'s semi-realistic sketches of her characters to draw these.
The first one, starting with the guy in the glasses, is Sang Min. I dunno if I really want him to look like that...he's kinda a last minute thought....I need to give him some more love...TT^TT
Next to him on the left is a REALLY BAD drawing of Zhuang...it bothers me...this picture. His nose is much thinner, but for some reason I kept drawing his nose that size no matter how much I redrew it...'orz These sketches are actually really small...XD It was hard to put in very many details. He's supposed to look like a stereo-typical Chinese pop star...ermm...male pop star...in a boy band. I noticed they have hair over their eyes pretty often...they have this punk-ish japanese-ish style mixed with some flowery chinese stuff, it's interesting.
Ignore the scratched out face and going down to the left we have a quick picture of Ciel! I'm pretty sure his eyepatch is on the wrong side...I dunno...I just felt like drawing somebody else with an eyepatch...XD
Coincidentally, by putting two pages together Ciel's next to Date Masamune! XD I just noticed that! XD Eyepatches! :D Oh, I also noticed I didn't draw Date Masamune's strings to his eyepatch...that's another reason why it doesn't look like he's wearing one....O.o;
Going back to the right, skipping over the scratch out picture again, we have a picture of the adorable Kenta~! :D I was surprised that this actually looks like him! O.O I didn't think I could draw him, but I did.
Directly below him is another bad drawing of Kiyoshi! That's not what Kiyoshi looks like...I forgot what he looked like when I drew this...'orz He looks really weird...O.o;
Next to him is a picture of EITA~! <333 I was looking at picture of Tegoshi Yuya to draw him ('cause he's supposed to look like a blonde Tegoshi Yuya), but he ended up looking somewhat similar to the blonde twin from Boyfriend:
Or somebody else...That's so weird...O.o; Since I only vaguely remember what he looked like until I drew that picture...'orz I think because it was at an angle, I drew his mouth weird...maybe that's what happened?
Now, the last pic to talk about! The picture in the bottom corner of Sayuri~! I was going to draw the rest of the girls, but I got tired and they're much scarier than the guys to draw...'cause they have all these details and 'looks' I'm going for...
Oh, I have little chibis draw of each of them all around their faces and some redrawings of them in my style, but they're all really quick so they look silly! XD
Enough about sketches, let's talk about other things! :D
Lately I've been interested in Star Wars. I think it's mainly because my mom (or somebody) laid an 'Artist's Magazine' open to a page with a picture of Queen Amidala right next to the laptop...So every time I'm on here I see that.
I have to say, I LOVE Queen Amadila's design! I always have! She was my favourite character when I was little and the reason why my favourite movie is the 1st one....that and Qui-Gon Jinn. Liam Neeson makes some of the most lovable characters. I think it's because of his kind eyes. Oh, and on top of that Natalie Portman is my favourite actress, that and Mila Kunis.
That's not because of Black Swan! They were my favourites before that movie! Now I kinda don't like Mila Kunis as much, 'cause she's not as great of an actress...Amy Adams is my favourite actress replacing Mila Kunis, now. I just can't hate Amy Adams! She was wonderful in all the movies I've seen her in~!
What I love about Star Wars is how complex it is...or seems. It's really into this whole government downfall and schemes in such a fantasical and interesting way. It's the Lord of the Rings in space. The only thing that gets me are the names of things. They're all so American and they're all so silly. Only Qui-Gon Jinn is the original sounding name. By original I mean, I don't know any language where you would pronounce Qui as Kwai...O.o; I think in English it'd be liike Key or Kwee or something...o.o;
...Oh gosh...*facepalm*...I just noticed how it's Kwai...Qu makes the Ku sound and apparently 'i' makes the 'i' sound..."orz THAT DOESN'T WORK IN ANY LANGUAGE! I don't know why Americans, or people who speak Enlgish, seem to think that if you've used up your other vowels in saying the word then the i would be 'i'. That's not how it works. Vowels combine to make their own sounds. *shakes head*
But still, I find Star Wars to be VERY inspiring and it keeps making me want to make a Space Opera story...which that dream manga idea kinda is...It's kinda like Gundam except without the giant robots.
Oh, back to the Queen Amidala thing. Is it just me or does she get less and less intricate costumes as she gets older?
14 years old (when Natalie Portman was actually 16 or 18)
24 years old
27 years old
...I wish they kept the crazy intricate designs. Attack on the Clones was fine because all that hiding and what-not...but Revenge of the Sith...I mean, she's pregnant, I can think of many intricate designs they could do for that. Doesn't mean she has to wear loose clothes, it means she can wear even more clothes! >:D
I didn't like Attack of the Clones, though...I could never get through it...it was so boring to me. And Revenge of the Sith just made me mad. I think it was pretty hard for them to transition adorable little Anakin who's always so pure and does what he thinks is right to start killing people. He looked mad and evil the entire time, so he obviously knew he was doing something bad. I can never understand why he'd do that all of the sudden except for them to make him into Darth Vader really quickly. I think they should've made him seem more troubled in Attack of the Clones. I know they DID, but it didn't seem as intense...maybe a bit in the first movie. Show some kinda tick that messes him up.
Woah, apparently her design as Queen Amidala were based off of Mongolian and Russian fashion. Yep, Mongols and Russians always have those crazy intricate designs. A lot of Asian cultures have really intricate designs for their royalties. I really love South Asian royalty fashion:
Look at that crown. That's just nuts! XD
One more thing before I go...
Isn't it just sooo beautiful and sad? TT^TT I love it, but it's so short. I seem to love trailer music! XD
I just love that movie so much! It's not my number 1 favourite though, nope, that Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. But this one is pretty up there, same for Black Swan...but I like Atonement more.
WOAH Keira Knightley played the decoy Queen Amidala in the first movie! O.O WOAH! And I also really like Keira Knightley...'orz The world is small...
I want to see that movie 'Never Let Me Go' 'cause it has Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, AND Andrew Garfield. My parents and I have come to the conclusion that Britain is a small country with few actors, but they're all so great they're constantly appearing in movies. Every time we watch a British movie we can name almost all the actors that play the major roles...'orz
We're always like 'Omigosh! It's so-and-so!' that happened the entire time when we were watching the King's Speech...
I like Carey Mulligan...but every time I think about An Education I just have this feeling of dislike for her just because of her character, but then I still like her when I'm reminded that it's not her. But there are some actors I just can't do that with.
For instance...I really don't like Hayden Christenson (sp?), even though I have no reason to just because of the Revenge of the Sith:
He is very good looking though...and something about that point makes me dislike him even more, but I feel bad 'cause I don't have any reason to...'orz
And this guy just makes me really mad every time I see his face. I blame it on the movie 'Cruel Intentions'. I watched that when I was really little...wait...what was that movie rated, I'm reading the summary and it's much darker than I remembered...O.o;
Ohh...it's rated 'R'...hrmm...
That opens up an entirely new thing for me! I thought my first R movie was End of Evangelion, but my first R movie was Cruel Intentions! O.O I don't remember when I saw that, though...hrmm..I think it was when I wass...7 or 8....hrmmm...And I watched it ALONE, the other R movies I've seen I watched it with somebody...O.o;
Well, didn't affect me in any bad way except that I hate the guy above...XD
Hrmm...I guess I should go now.
Sorry for the ridiculously long post, but it's not like I haven't done it before! XD
Almost completely fixed, still having problems with SAI
Before I couldn't do anything in SAI, but then I fixed that. I also fixed it so that in Photoshop I have pen pressure (I'm so happy! I didn't know my tablet has pen pressure! X3).
But here is an example of the problem with SAI now:
(It looks kinda pretty)
I just wrote the alphabet in print regularly.
The problem is that the mouse and the paintbrush aren't together, they're separated. When I draw it's almost completely fine, but the paintbrush can't catch up with the mouse, so when I'm done and have taken my pen off the tablet, it's still going to the spot that I left mouse icon.
If that made any sense...
How do I fix it?
I downloaded a new driver, but I kinda wonder if my old driver is still there, but I looked in the device manager and at the 'hidden devices' and it says my driver is completely up-to-date and there are no 'hidden devices' left in the mouse category thingy.
I even opened up misc.ini on SAI and changed some of the tablet features to 0 or 1 and nothing really happened except that my clicks actually did something, but the paintbrush and mouse are still off.
I looked up different places on how to fix this, but I haven't come across anybody with the same problem, yet...I'll continue to search for ways to fix it, but I was just wondering if anybody knew what to do.
I must thank imouto chan, though, for suggesting me to download the driver because now the driver finally works (I think my brother deleted the driver) and I have all these features that I've never seen before on my tablet~! <333
So thank you VERY VERY much imouto chan~! <333
Oh, by the way, I typed a ridiculously long post with a bunch of sketches and videos and pictures, but then I accidentally pressed some button, and even though I copied the whole thing, it somehow refreshed or something and whatever I copied was gone and I couldn't go back...so I just gave up...
I'll post later, maybe, with better quality sketches 'cause the ones I had to show you were taken with my camera and looked TERRIBLE...'orz
*depress* *depress*
I never knew Berryz Koubou went to Sakura-con...and Berryz Koubou was one of the groups I promised myself would never come to America, and if they did I would see them.
But FREAKING SAKURA-CON! WHY DOES EVERYTHING AWESOME HAVE TO HAPPEN THERE!? TheO meeting, Berryz Koubou, Hanry&Angry debut...*depress* *depress*
Oh, I'll just have to stop wishing to go see a band I like 'cause it'll never happen...>3>
But seriously...why don't these groups come to the South? It's the place with the most weeaboos...by some kinda study that shows most of the people in the South love stuff about Japan or Korea...but they go to the places with a lot of people 'cause there's a lot of people...guhhh...
The South is the place that needs these people to come so that the rest of us can quit being such stick-in-the-muds...hrmmm...not that I'm actually Southern, but still...>3>
I'm still pretty mad about this year's MTAC...where the only jpop bands or whatever weren't popular anywhere and they were one of those kinds of underground bands or garage bands or whatever...and there weren't that many bands, either, even though the theme was music.
I saw some youtube video where the guy said 'the theme was music, and you could tell by everyone singing and dancing everywhere'...that's not because of the theme! When you go to an anime convention you usually don't pay attention to the theme. We were doing that because WE WERE BORED! "orz
*sigh*...
I bet if Goto Maki came to America she'd probably go to LA...so I'll never meet her...and I didn't get to meet Saki Shimizu...
I wish I lived in Hawaii since they always seems to go there...it's like an annual thing almost, for them to go to Hawaii..."orz
Okay...I'm done with my ranting.
I've broken my rules several times in a row...'orz
But today I will try and make amends by posting two new pictures and a ton of sketches! >:D Well...just 2 pages of sketches...*shrugs*
Berryz Koubou
I'm mad that I never got any notification that they updated until they updated the 'extra' close up stuff...>3>
This is such a weird video...O.o; I don't get what's going on. What's the concept!? This seems totally different from most of their music videos...liiike...a bit more sexual. I'm very surprised. It somewhat reminds me of Goto Maki's Uwasa no Sexy Guy 'cause of their shiny clothes and where they're doing close-ups of random things...O.o;
I like it better than that last one, but it kinda feels like they're going for a different kind of audience. Most of H!P's music doesn't have such popular styles show-cased...I guess...I dunno, I kinda wonder if they're going for the K-pop audience or the American audience because their style is beginning to look like those kinds of groups...hrmm...
