Okay, technically, this isn't new, I've been sitting on this commission for months, and the person I'm drawing it for has been awesome to agree to wait that long. To be honest, when I first accepted the project I was a little intimidated by the description, which was a battle scene with a giant spider in the sewers. I even scrapped the first draft because it wasn't dynamic/action-packed enough, then I left the project to stew for a couple of months. I finally decided to pick it up again because I felt bad for letting the guy wait so long, and Damn, this is the best single piece I've done in ages even if I do say so myself. This piece is going to be an A3 sized poster. I'm so proud of it that I'm going to print a copy for myself. XD

Very late post, since Arianhod came to me early June, but yea, it's been a year since her arrival. I won't call it her birthday because frankly, I find the idea a little silly anyway. And the whole not knowing her own birthday thing is an important part of her character.  ( Moar Here ) |

Redid Nim's faceup, I'm happy to say that I'm getting the hang of this acrylic thing. ( The Piccies ) |

A couple of weeks ago, I was approached by some guy who wanted me to do character designs for his website. I thought why not? I could use the publicity, and it's good practice drawing stuff that's not my own. Well, things got a little bigger than I expected, he appearantly loves my work and took it upon himself to be my manager, finding clients to commission me and stuff. I ain't complaining, but it's a really big step from doing simple character sketches. Nothing has happened yet, but he tells me that he might have found a potential client for me to do box art for his game, we'll see how it goes. Oh, he was nice enough to handle the merchandise for my comic, which I never would have touched on in about 10 years a so. They are just 2 t-shirt designs at the moment, but he expects more stuff to be added to the shop in the future. Characters are drawn by me and colored by my wonderful, wonderful friend, Low Sookuan. ( T-Shirt Designs here )Now, considering my small readership, I doubt I'll even sell a handful of these t-shirts, but I'm proud of them, and I wouldn't mind snagging a pair myself. I suppose there's some satisfaction in seeing your works on sale in an online store. :P |

Ah well, I guess I should post more, but the light in my room is baaaad, and its hard to get any decent pics here. Anyway, I wiped off Nim's previous faceup to practice my acrylic painting, I think the eyelashes turned out great, but the eyebrows are just plain awful. I'll find some niche with them eyebrows someday, but it's a decent attempt. The blushing is somewhat blotchy though. Meh. ( Two Pix )I got a cute idea of a photostory with Arianhod and Nim, I just need to proper tools for it, like better lighting. XP

Decided to put off taking photographs for the time being until I get a better camera. But it's a pity leaving my LJ empty. Drawing is one of the few things I'm really good at anyway. Drew this for fun, it's an illustration for a friend who writes fiction in the forums.

This is me randomly messing with the buttons on my camera and using a crappy lamp. I still have no idea what I'm doing. Did a bit of color editing in Photoshop. ( Read more... )

I knew Arianhod would be arriving today, but I didn't expect her to come home so early. The buzzer doorbell was a huge shock in the morning, and I was still in bed, heh. Bankevair was also there for the opening. ^_^ My photography is not as good as my drawing, but I still try anyways. Now, onward to my beautiful Nabee, Arianhod. ( Opening Pics )

I decided to unstring F'nor and suede him by myself, thinking that the worse could happen is that I would be unable to put him back together on my own. It really wasn't as difficult as I thought and the results were excellent! ^^ His arms still flop down at certain poses, but it could be that his stringing is too loose. I want to thank helene_in_melbo for selling me the pliver, it works like a dream. :) ( Piccies Here )

I know that I said that I most likely won't post about my life, but I had to get this off my chest: Just because I hang out with a guy doesnt mean I fancy him! I wish the others would get off my case and lay off with the jokes. I know it's supposed to be funny and all, but frankly, I'm not very amused by it. And they are even serious I should hook up with him. One of my friends said that I'm at that age where I should get a boyfriend, and if that guy I mentioned above likes you, go for it. What the fuck?! Is it such a huge sin that I want to stay single? He also mentioned that if it doesn't work out I can always break up with him. I don't believe this. How can he say that relationships are so casual? I'd like to think that they mean something, not just a thing you start on a whim and ditch it if you don't feel like it anymore. Human feelings are involved in this, and it's not supposed to be taken lightly. Alot of people probably don't feel this way, but I do. There's really no point in hooking up with this guy if I feel abslutely ZERO for him, and it really wouldn't be fair for him either. I'm just ranting here, this is one of those things I'd rather not have bottled up.

I'm thinking of redoing F'nor's faceup. Not that there's anything wrong with the current one, I just feel it's too blah. I want something more intense and dramatic like this mock-up I've done here. Photograph was taken by Gigglegeek on Armelia's Unpainted BJDs website. 
Of course it might be a while until I actually get to it, I'm currently without any art supplies and I'm saving up for my new girl. Who is she? Wait untill next month to find out. :)

Hmm, yea, finally posting something into my LJ months after signing up. I'm just geting the hang of LJ here. I'll probably be using this to post doll photos only because, lets face it, my life is pretty dull, I wouldn't want to bore you with the details or bust my brain trying to make it sound intresting. Anyway, to start things off, here are two photos, more of a test on lighting. The first one uses natural sunlight while the second one uses a lamp. I kinda like the more contrasting shadows in the second one, but natural sunlight seems to bring out the colors of his faceup better. Might need to experiment on this some more. I also did some color editing in Photoshop.
