Back from Animore!
Mood: Studying hoo hoo...
Heyo! My first artist alley booth was this past weekend! :D I don't have a ton of time right now, but I'll try to post more about it this coming weekend, when I have some free time. >:Y Overall it was a good experience, but a little slower than I expected because of the IMMENSE AMOUNTS OF SNOW THAT CAME THROUGH THE MID-ATLANTIC AREA...
But yeah, more about that later.
Oh.
On a completely unrelated note... I really hate 90's fashion. "orz I KNOW THIS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, BUT... This is something I think about when I try to imagine what Gabe, Stefan, and Noland were like in high school. Especially Gabe. I have no idea what kind of EDGY FASHION existed in the 90s except like... grunge, I guess? And that looked like, idk...
??? Maybe? I was barely alive in the 90s. But I'm not about that greasy looking long hair, yo.
And then everything else I'm finding is like,
Why do all the dudes look like literal squares. EVERYTHING LOOKS... SO BOXY... AND LARGE. Look at the sleeves on the dude on the far right! WHAT THE HECK, MAN! THE T-SHIRT MIGHT BE TOO BIG FOR YOU IF IT'S REACHING YOUR ELBOWS...
So yeah. I'm just like... idk what Gabe and Stefan would look like in the 90s, these fashion trends are just beyond me. "orz Maybe I just need to do more searching and actual research. -u-/
ANYWAY. Enough about that. Gotta do some homework, yo. ;o
CHANGED MY ICON! :u
To this.
Just 'cause I like how it came out, hahaha. THIN LINES...!! I remember in 2013 when I entered college, I was super into thin lines, and was actually pretty good at using them. I wanna get back into that! >:Y But it's difficult, haha;;; For some reason, though, eyes are really hard for me to draw using thin lines. GOTTA PRACTICE, I GUESS...!
I like how the coloring came out for this, though, even though it's so simple. Maybe I'll try to do a nice finished drawing with thin lines and this kind of shading........... eventually.
This is the nicest I've drawn Lafayette's hair. I’m also surprised I drew him not making a crazy face, for once. :Y
Yeah.
Okay, that's all. :^)
JAPAN
Mood: FULL OF FOOD AND IN NEED OF A SHOWER... and also sleepy.
I kept forgetting to mention, but GUESS WHAT! I'm leaving for Japan, tomorrow!!! 8^D I'll be there for the next month, actually, haha. I'll be in Tokyo with my family for the next week, but after that I'll be taking culture classes at ~*~KANAZAWA UNIVERSITY~*~ with about 15 other American students. SHOULD BE EXCITING...!!! I'm happy to be able to practice my Japanese, 'cause I haven't really used it in a whole semester. orz I'M SO OUT OF PRACTICE...!!! I should practice kanji... I always say that, but I never practice reading or writing kanji. -u-/
BUT YEAH! I should still have internet access (on Christmas, too), so I should be able to get my SS drawing up on time! >:U I finished sketching and scanning it today, so I'm gonna work on coloring it on the flight to Japan. *U*b 14 HOURS.... HOORAY.......;;;
OH! One last thing, but my Fire Emblem keychain charms came in the mail this week!!! :^D Here's some pics:
They're a little smaller than I thought they were gonna be, but whatevz. I think I'll try doing 2 inch charms, next time! >:Y
I haven't ordered the cellphone straps or anything yet, so I guess that's the next thing to do. Hope these sell okay at Animore! *u*/;;
Okay, that's all. I gotta get ready for bed soon, so... yeah. -v-/
Secret Santa 2015 Wishlist
AWRIGHT, SECRET SANTA WISHLIST TIME.
Hey, Secret Santa, thanks for taking the time to draw something for meeeee. ;u;/ Here's some stuff for you to choose from!
1) Any of my characters!
You can find a lot of them on my weebly page HERE, but here's some of my OCs that I'd specifically like art of. :^D
Individuals:
Couples (if you're feeling ambitious):
- Stefan and Gabe (you can see how they interact here)
- Noland and Prue (technically not dating, but idk they hold hands and stuff)
- Lafayette and Dmitri (not romantic)
If none of these appeal to you, feel free to look through the super sloppy weebly page for someone you'd want to draw! :^D
2) Anyone from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun!
*U*/ I like all of the main characters, but my favorite character is Mikoshiba Mikoto.
As for couples (again, only if you're feeling ambitious haha), I like:
Although technically, I just... like anyone... If you draw anyone from GSNK, I'll probably be happy. xD
3) Any of my fav smash bros characters!
Thanks to Roy being DLC in the new smash bros game, my love for SSB has been rekindled. ;u;/ My fav characters are:
- Roy (Melee outfit / SSB4 Outfit)
- Marth (Brawl outfit / SSB4 Outfit)
- Little Mac
I also think of Marth and Roy as friends, so if you drew them together, that'd be cool with me haha. :^D
I know I linked to their official outfits, but honestly you can draw them in anything you want. DESIGN YOUR OWN CLOTHES, IF YOU WANT...!!! That goes for all of the things I've posted, btw. :^)
So yep, there's my list, aha;;; Hope you find something you want to draw! And thanks so much again, Secret Santa!!! :^D ♥
Misc Cosplay Pics
Mood: BATHROOM;;;
YO. My hair was hilarious yesterday, so I decided to do a sudden cosplay of my character Ned:
HILARIOUS. (?) It was actually only from a certain angle that my hair looked like Ned's but whatever, haha. This is what I actually looked like, btw:
But yeah.
ANYWAY, that sudden cosplay reminded me that I have some cosplay pics from Otakon that I never showed you! So here you go.
Virion... leaning dramatically against the wall... Soft, gentle tears begin to trickle......
Idk, I think this picture is hilariously dramatic, haha. It's probably my favorite one, though. I really like how the lighting/editing/whatever came out. *U* This was taken by my friend RedSonya Cosplay, CHECK OUT HER SWEET COSPLAYS SHE'S GR8.
This photo was by Dan Seiter Photography, which was a kind of awkward experience 'cause my sister had a photoshoot with the guy, then she asked him to take ONE, SOLE PICTURE OF ME (???) and I don't think he (or I) really knew what was going on;;; AHA.
But yeah. Idk why I look super tired in this picture.
ALSO, HERE'S SOME PICTURES OF MY ROY COSPLAY!!! I forgot I never posted these on theO. ;u;/ These were taken by my litte sister.
MENACING PHOTO NUMBER 1. Even though this is a horrible shot of the costume, I like how this one came out. >:Y
MENACING (?) PHOTO NUMBER 2. Now you can see the front of the armor! I kind of wish the gold came out a bit shinier on my armor (it's shinier in real life), but idk really how to fix it. HRM.
SLEEPY LOOKING AKIOH... PHOTO... THING. I feel like this is one of the better photos for getting the whole costume (or most of it), but my face... so tired... maybe I'll work on expressions some day.
IDK WHAT UP WITH MY FACE IN THIS ONE, TOO;;; But hey, smiling Roy.
Just including this one 'cause my sister was like, "IT'S ARTSY." My armor looks so much shinier in the reflection... ;-;/
Aaand yep, there you go. Idk what my next cosplay's gonna be, I don't think I'm gonna be able to work on anything until spring or summer. ;0;/ ALAS... But yeah Thanks for viewing! :Y
