Just avoiding doing a formal character ref

And instead, let me just spam you with some pictures of said character until I get the motivation to do one.

Probably will need to test out some more colour combos and design options before I settle on something, but this is what I first had in mind for her.

...now in a tengu mask.

More sketches of Kanaria. Mainly revamps of older designs as I am not original.

First two pictures make in openCanvas.
Last picture with pencil on paper.

I would post sketches more frequently, but scanning is such a hassle

Figure drawings, and my fursona just chillin with the humans.

Throwing around some ideas for new pet redesigns. I can't design animals to save my life...

openCanvas-tan? She has a ridiculous amount of pieces on her.

Some revamped designs for my oCs, mainly being Kanaria. Looks like she's gonna have a 2012 incarnation.

Drawn with pencil on paper.

Two-toned

Kanaria

I'm not a big fan of pop art, but the more recent stuff certainly have a certain pop art feel about them. Must be due to the bright, unconventional, limited colour palette, but as mention before, these quick sketches are my excuse to play around with things.

Originally, the colours were going to be purple and yellow, except after playing around with the hue and saturation filter, I thought this was more suitable for the type of character she is.


Made in openCanvas.

I draws in physics because I hate doing math

Yup, these pictures were scanned three months ago and are going up now. Oh well, "better late than never".

All of these pictures were drawn during my physics 11 course I took during summer. Yeah, I get bored when I'm supposed to be doing my homework. Who doesn't? (Check out my awesome physics work, too!)

A guy.

Oh well, like you know what the code on top means. I don't even remember.

Starfish loves you, loves you.

Yukiko in fursona form.

Yes, she's a sheep/goat. I thought I'd be cool and chose something out of the norm (ie canines and felines). Drawn on the same sheet as the picture above.

The head of a dragon. It's made of moonlight/comes from the moon and can be summoned by one of my mary-sues because we all know dragons make good attacks. I will not tell you what the name of the dragon is because it's just that lame.
I had to make for writing 12, of all the writing I did in the course, which I took at the same time as physics. I did the layout and coding all by myself! :)

A face and some brainstorming for my online portfolio website.

More brainstorming for a website for writing 12.

I had to make another website, but this one which offers advice. I was initially going for a banner with fictions' most notable characters, but I was short on time and used a generic site template.

Kanaria "life demon" form.

OHOHO, doesn't that "life demon" part sound lame already? Didn't I tell you that Kanaria started as an uber mary-sue? Of course she needed a bullshit second form obtained through a Sailor Moon-esque transformation - with wings!

Vocaloid Lily.

Lily was still in the process of being made when I drew this. This is probably among the first fanart of her! Gasp!

Yeah, didn't do so hot in physics. Oh well, that's the reason why I took it in summer school anyways!


Drawn with pencil and lined paper.
First picture drawn an index card.

School Doolies 6.2: Kanaria and Anaria

Did you think that I totally neglected any art over the past few months of absence? Of course not! 

These pictures are dedicated to my characters, Kanaria and Anaria.

Normally, I'd be explaining the heck out of these pictures, right? Except, honestly, today, I have nothing to say. All of these pictures are pretty much concepts (with the exception of the last one) about Kanaria's clothing, movements, etc.
Yup, moving on...

Time for Anaria!

Ick. The paper's so smudged with lead...

And that's it for her!
(This picture is pretty much concepts for her clothing, too.)

Character Concepts: Kanaria 2

I thought I had posted my previous Kanaria sketch dump, but from furthur inspection, it had mysteriously disappeared, and when I mean disappeared, I mean I was too stupid to realise that I didn't post it up.
It should be there, now. So visit it. 

Practicing warping my style, again. I've also drawn some scenes I've had of her floating through my head. See the bottom left-hand corner of the picture? The one where she's eating something?
While most youkais eat humans, she has to eat other youkais to stay alive. It's considered blasphemy, but youkais (since they ingest humans) possess more energy, fueling the two spirits in her body.

Drawn 3:30 AM or so. Really quick sketch with some gradient overlays and some blue shading to look like I gave more of a crap.

But two spirits in her body? What spirits? I don't know if I've explained this, but in my other post, I explained the type of youkai she is, right? Anyways, these half-birds were real birds' slaves, and would do anything for them. When a stray shadow cat decided to visit the real birds, the real birds tricked the cat to go for the half ones. Kanaria, being a loser as she couldn't fly for her age, was used as an offering. Some kind of tricks I haven't thought about were thrown in, and now she's permanently stripped from flight, but instead, got these shadow powerz.

And the cat youkai's supposed to eat her, but it figured that since she was its living vessel, it'd make her a deal that instead of having it eat her inside out, she'd eat other youkais to save herself.

That's pretty much her background. Yes, it's not realistic and a bit mary-sue, but if it helps, she's as weak as hell and really relies on the cat youkai to save her sorry ass.

But, I have fun with this bit of freedom I have by not making everything super realistic (like I do other things).

First picture's drawn with mechanical pencil on scrap photocopy paper.

Second picture's draw on openCanvas 4.5.

Character Concepts: Kanaria

Today, I'm going to introduce you to an old, beloved character of mine's

Made soon after the creation of Anaria (you see what I did thar with their names? I thought it was so original back then) back in... say, grade 4, and originally dubbed “Kanria”. She was pretty much an emo version of Anaria.
I won’t go into a whole back story right now, but I will say that she was lame. Recently, I’ve begun a whole overhaul of her design, keeping only the part where she is somehow involved with a demon cat. Other than that, if you looked at old pictures, you wouldn’t see the similarities.
I think Anaria is in way too deep to change, though. Pity; Kanaria revised is pretty cool.

Reference spam of Kanaria's background - but more specifically, the type of youkai (demon) she was and all about that stuff. Hope you can read my writing, but if not, these youkais are pretty much "half-bird-half-iunno" and they're full bird youkais' slaves.
And, hey,  look! Even this has some YYH on it.

Now more concentrating on Kanaria, her gestures, clothing, attacks, styles... yeah. Practice thing, pretty much.

Revamped her original dress design (because, back in the day, everyone had to wear one for some stupid occasion I can't even remember now)

Playing with styles. Trying to give her a style which isn't my default one.

I don't know if this belongs here, but this is the revamp of the cat demon she would turn into, but I scrapped that, so...
Oh well, enjoy Foopa. :D

The third and fourth picture is drawn on a Canson Basics Sketch book with mechanical pencil.
Stay tuned for more…!

(PS: Sorry for using weeaboo words here and there; back when she was created, I've always used those words to describe her, and I only found it fitting if I continued that)
