Finally: Toon Link Papercrafts

I mentioned a while ago that I was making Four Sword Toon Link papercrafts and I was gonna post them, right? Well, they’re too awesome not to show, SO HERE THEY ARE:

From left to right: Classic Link, Blue Link, Original Link, Toner Link (mainly from accident), Purple Link, Red Link
I tweaked all of their colours in Photoshop. Dark Link deemed too hard to edit, though, so he’s not pictured here.
But you know what I realised? When I Googled “four swords link papercraft”, I came across a papercraft blog. As it turns out, someone else already had my idea, and did a better job than me editing them. Go figure.
…I’ll make those guys too. :P
Well, enjoy~

Halloween 09 "Tattoos"

You know what I did last night ‘till 4?
I drew on my arm, like I always do. :P
Not the best I could do, but oh well.

The designs on my hand are a bit smudged so I give you close ups.

Made with black ballpoint pen and my arm, obviously.
Inspired by the artwork of Canyx, such as this.

Notice my nails, btw? That took an hour to do.

I’m kinda glad everyone at school thought it was cool, and was amazed to know that I drew it myself. I’m kinda glad, but I think I should wash off the one on my hand.

Haul: Yarn and knitting needles

I went to Michaels yesterday to buy some stuff for Fabric Arts. Huge knitting section they have there. :O

The yarn’s really soft and fluffy. In fact, on the paper packaging binding it, there was a baby onto of a crocheted baby blanket. At first, I wanted some pure wool ones, but I found out acrylic felt better. And the colours!

The needles are a size 6 (close enough to my 5s) covered in purple aluminum. The colour I’m not very fond of, but hell, better than those cheap plastic green ones I borrowed from school. It’s still better than those matte metal needles I see people carrying. It comes in one colour: grey.
(Good thing, though, is that it comes with its own case. Mine’s might scratch. :()

Some pics:

Used my phone camera for this. I should really invest in a new memory card because mine’s is just so screwed up. I hate having to push it down so I could take a picture and uploading these pics too.

Schoolie Doolies: Japanese and kiddy shows

Don’t ask how they work. They just do. I blame Moono and his noodle fetish.

First page: Yo Gabba Gabba.

“Yoo Gabbaa Gabbaa <—ichiban kodomo no terebo”
Translation: Yo Gabba Gabba <—Number one kid’s show
Started off with Moono and him loving noodles.

Text: Muuno! …ha ooki to shinsentsu na desu.
Boku ha ramen wo taberu koto ga suki desu. Dakara kono (*should be kore, btw*) wa nani ga boku wa suru koto suki desu.
What I want it to say: Moono! …is big and friendly.
I love eating noodles. Because that what I like to do.

Then it started out to become the whole gang.

Text (bottom to top, right to left): Fuupa, …ha pinku na to ureshii desu; Tsucchi …ha asobu koto ga su ki desu;  hen na Fuupa; Gurambi; Peressu, mahou no robooto desu; boku ha dansu wo suru (koto) ga suki desu; Di Ja Ransu; rajio
What I wanted it to say: Foopa …is pink and happy; Tutti …she loves to have fun; weird Foopa; Grumbie; Plex …a magic robot; I like to dance; DJ Lance; radio

Can’t forget about this guy either…

Translating: I don’t know its name


As for the other side of the worksheet:

Characters (bottom to top, right to left): Toshio (and his cat on the TV… he’s saying “Nyaaaa” which is the Jap way of saying “Meow”, Priarie Dong (?), Grover, Elmo, Big Bird, Ernie, Bert, another Elmo, Buttercup, Blossom, Bubbles, Spongebob, Cookie Monster

Drawn on my Japanese worksheet with mechanical pencil.


…and a preview of what I’m currently working on:

Not really "fanart"

Boredom does strange things. Instead of doing something productive (like homework) I resort to things like dating sims. Yes, you heard that right, dating sims.
Many of them suck and I have no patience to click through all of its tedious... whatever. There's one which is ridiculously easy, though. Or, really, a group of 'em.

Don't ask me why I play them. They suck. The programming, concept, game play, characters, and most importantly, art are ass. Only the music's okay, but they didn't make that.
So why do I play them? I don't know. It's easy, like I said above.

I really wanted to improve these designs because A) I'm helping the author by letting them picture their characters looking better (not like their fanart is better... no, really), and B) I just like redrawing shitty drawings because I know the artist sucks.

Left to right: Jenna Moonlight, the half-witch-half-vampire thing, Liu Liu (I think?), Fhantom, Ari, Garrett, the fox-spirit-who-is-Fhamtom's-sister-and-falls-in-love-with-Garrett, The POND (that's seriously his name).

Drawn with mechanical pencil on scrap photocopy paper.
Fanart of various things posted here.

Schoolie Doolies 3

My Art teacher realized a while ago I was slacking off and doodling instead of actually doing the project. He didn't care, actually encouraging me to do some more. (I could actually spend the whole class drawing! Kinda cool)

Don't like it. My teacher gave me a Sharpie "fine"liner which wasn't very "fine" at all. It bled a lot, so it looks a bit messy.

Not much to say about the picture either. The thing on the right... well, it sucks. No point explaining what it's suppose to be.

Made on Bristol with a Sharpie "fine"liner.

Boredom Stuffs

Style spam, really. The uber girly shoujo stuff in the corner was meant to see if I could do it. I think I failed pretty badly. xD
...Like I did with many other styles.

Made on graph paper pad and mechanical pencil.

 And guess what? Totally failed by 21 day figure practice resolution.
*Facepalm*

RE: Yukiko's 2009 revamp

Background added.

Man, looking back, Yukiko's portraits have drastically improved. The last finished portrait I made of her was this:

 

Definitely improved, huh?

WIP - Yukiko's 2009 revamp

Realized that I haven't drawn Yukiko in a while. Since it was my birthday a while ago, I though I'd give her a style revamp. I did have another sketch of Yukiko in the works, but that never came through. I'll post it's WIP that I may or may not finish.

Yukiko's pretty much finished in this pic, but I still need a background. Also tried to make her hair less saturated but still silky and bright.

Oh yeah, I never did finish this on my b-day, but oh well. I couldn't work during it!

Made in openCanvas 4.5.

SS Cell - sketches for a Bio project

What I've been working on for a while for Bio. First, it was due like... a week ago, so I was about to finish it all in one day. Then I got switched out of that class, and I assumed (even though I perfectly knew) that the comparison project didn't exist  there. But alas, Zanatta wanted me to hand it in, and after much procrastination, I finally did.
Nothing I had expected it to be, but my original idea involved a lot of hours in PS, and tons of coloured printer inks. Plus, when I was about to print it, PS said, "SCREW YOU!"

Rough sketch - just for the idea. Did a design for a pirate too.

Second draft. Referenced some pirate ships this time. Wished I had some plain paper on me, but on well. I was also planning to tape some sheets together for the flagpoles, but that never happened.

Final product. Quickly coloured it in openCanvas and stuck some words on it. You can't see that version, though.

Kinda proud with the final product, too. Good for one day of colouring, huh?

What the hell?

I know, I know. Two days in a row without any figure drawing? At least I’m aware of it. I’m not really keeping my promise, eh?

I would say it’s school, but I’m sick of that excuse.
…Instead, I will say that it’s all the planning which needs to go into planning my birthday.

I’ll see you tomorrow, guys.
Assuming anyone’s reading this.

6 - Day 6

Failed yesterday. Urgh.
Well, in my defense, I was making something awesome which would surely be posted up here in return for my forgetfulness! Once it's done, that is. :P

Anyways, without further ado:

Schoolie Doolies 2

I scanned them already. Might as well upload them.
These were from last school year.

Zen, a character of mine’s. He likes to use thread and is very bipolar because of the ying yang thing goin’ on. He wants to find balance – so he strips the words “good” and “bad” from his vocab and does whatever his primal instincts tell him to.

Fanart of Yoko from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It was a request from a classmate – in class – so there are inaccuracies with Yoko’s design.

5 - Day 5

A bit light today because I used an erasable brown pencil crayon, and I couldn't find my pencil sharpener. xD
I'll start with the cool stuff soon, I promise. I just need to do these first. :P

 Made with mechanical pencil and a pad of crappy graph paper.

4 – Day 4

Haha, I’m just forgetting about these things all the time now, aren’t I? Well, here you go.
I have been working on a super secret project though. As stated like, right there, it’ll be secret for a while. It’s not that cool as I make it out to be, but yeah. I’ve been spending all my time in school working on it. xD

Made with mechanical pencil and crappy graph paper pad.
