Biiiirddd maaannn!!! Based off of my old picture for "Papageno" from waaayyy back. There's supposed to be a random passerby person in the bushes where that bunches of yellow is in the black hole among the green.

The birds are mystical, random birds so that I don't have to copy one specific bird all the way. I also think it keeps the wonder of "what's that?" better if it's not a real species of birds.

I thought over the fact that magical girls are basically either white or Asian then decided to draw a black magical girl. After speaking with my friend on that thought, we both only managed to come up with one black magical girl . 

The girl is named "Felicia". If I were to continue, she'd also have a magical staff and one of those sickeningly saccharine backgrounds to go with the magical girls theme. I tried to incorporate a bookish design into her outfit... but I don't think I did quite right... maybe book pages sewn onto her dress? It'd look poor - but it'd look SO awesome, right? lol

My favorite part is that I made her heart bow thingy a compass. 8D

 The two boys from the flashlight picture together again in their childhood. Rohan (the one on the left) is fussing over Cameron's scraped knee because he's a fussy boyfriend like that. XD

Slight re-imagining of Rachel. She's a mysterious girl with strange powers, a cocky attitude, and obsessed with two men in coats who have done something to her that has made her swear a vendetta over them. And obsessive with re-claiming something she thinks they have stolen from her.

A series of doodles that I have neglected to post for a long while - so here is a duuuump~ O: 

The one at the very top is something I was doing while thinking of ballerinas. I think I should have left it a lot more simplistic looking than it turned out in the end... I have a problem with slapping details when it's not needed - it's a work in progress. >__>

I've been drawing those two adopted sisters a lot lately. Especially the girl with the sunglasses (Benni ). The very bottom is the two boys with the flashlights again. I didn't note how much pink the blue-eyed boy was wearing until my friend mentioned! XD Haha. 

Doodle

Sister of the doodle girl I drew earlier in my last post. Her name is "Ballari".

 Finiisssheeeddd version of the WIP from earlier. :)

 WIP of something new I'm working on. It's a robot petting a robo bird. They're sharing a heart wire or something weird like that? XD

Concept sketch/doodle of a character.



















Short descripts today O:

Trying to work out a style for what I am now labeling "Mia's Cast" for my own laziness and personal convenience of mental sorting. (My brain is just a derp machine these days, you see... >__>; )

So far, I think this is the style that's going to stick the most. It still has a degree of sketchiness and general simplicity as a concept for the style. The style was originally based off of how I drew people in my thumbnails. This style is basically a cleaning up of what my thumbnails looked like. I'm going to look at how much more sketchy I can make this because it totally breaks. That would, of course, probably be more effective if I draw out an entire scene.

So, I guess that should be my next step. Drawing a scene with this style. I think I have a general idea of how the set and background is going to look, so I might as well test it out. ONWARDS, THEN!!!

A funny note is that the dress she's wearing on the left was originally blue, but my brother mentioned that the way the dress was designed made her look like a water bender for some reason. That didn't make much sense to me, but I thought it would probably help to change the color scheme, anyways. So... it's red, now. Ah, yeeh...

The picture in the middle was supposed to be based off of a crane fist starting position I saw online - but not quite it. I went through her timeline and I reasoned on this - if she learned any martial arts it was something that was close to crane style, but she probably learned it more as a passing thing upon convenience versus being actually serious about learning it. A friend of her's taught her basic things to protect herself, and that was it. That's more or less why her pose is not a very good crane position, it's more like a mock crane position that's obviously not really correct. Although... I feel like I messed up something, too - because it looks more like she's fast-walking than anything. D'oh! D:

The top is a late-night doodle. It's Ark's girl self - Mia~ :D At the moment I'm writing a plot-story... thing... for her. The story was originally Ark's story, but lately I've been flipping between the two as the main character to see which one I like better as the main character. At the moment, I think I'm very decided with using Mia for various reasons.

First reason is that there are more than enough stories about adventurous boys with awesome adventures. Waaayyy too many of them, in fact. There's no reason why there aren't enough stories that feature girls other than the fact that the media is obsessed with empowering males over females.  The other part was that the entire plot actually makes more sense if she were a girl because a lot of the plot is spent running away from authorities that are looking for a boy with spikey hair. It's just a more flexible plot with more opportunities if she can actually hide while being in the open.

The two characters on the bottom are also from Ark's story. The lady on the left I've drawn before. Her name is Akio, but she goes by "Sand". The other girl is unnamed, but so far I'm dubbing her "Inna". The two are friends but eventually Inna is supposed to find something else to do with her life so Sand goes off with Mia on her adventure-plot thinggg. Yaaayyy O:

The characters at the top are a messy sketch I never finised up. XD

BOTTOM drawing is a request I drew for my friend Domofudge ~ She wanted Tim, Con, and Bart from the Young Justice crew to be dorking it up together. I decided to draw them all watching a movie. XD I wish I did a neater job on this - but complaints are complaints... keep working, right? Haha. One thing I did like is how I managed to light them up and make it look like they're being lit up by a weird screen. Hopefully I'll be able to refine that in a future project, right? : >

A late-night doodle that I uncharacteristically decided not to delete for once because I'm not utilizing the idea of my blog enough... Which is for me to track my personal progress and thoughts, etc.

I've been trying out a lot of new art programs lately. Mainly because of the fact that Photoshop is such a heavy program that it has a high risk of lag and takes too long to start up sometimes when I just want to do small doodles. So far I'm favoring MyPaint (the one I used for this doodle) and FireAlpaca. Both are fairly lightweight programs, and are free.

MyPaint doesn't have a canvas limit and no paintbucket tool, so that's why the edges are all strange and rounded in the bg. I feel like I slightly favor MyPaint because it has no canvas size - it just makes doodling easier and faster without me having to worry about size as I usually tend to draw really big and sloppy. I also like that MyPaint has more brush texture options and such. Sadly, the hot keys are very strange (b=open the brush box instead of just switching to brush mode O:<) and some of the shortcuts are if anything... inconvenient...

The character on the way left and the top right corner is named "Rohan Badal". I drew him earlier... P: Basically, he worked as a waiter through some of his studies, so I wanted to draw him in uniform. He also was a nurse for about a year before quitting because working at a hospital was too depressing for him.

The top messy doodles is of a girl named "Ballari" who is Cameron and Rohan's adopted daughter. She's tomboyish - like one of those spunky girl types? Haha... I dunno. She's also deaf, so the two learn BSL to speak with her. She can talk, though, but has a bit of a "deaf accent". And she reads lips, but it's obviously not as reliable as sign language communication with her, of course.

The character in the middle is named "Darius". He's actually this character with a different look. The character becomes an actor in the future and is one of the main cast in some teen, supernatural show where he plays a "bad boy". The punkette girl (named Gabriella Bannes) is supposed to be another character from that show (her real name is Rosa Aguila)- I'm still working out her design. I'm still working on this with my friend, Yevie. We're hoping this goes somewhere to be a fun webcomic about the show itself. XD

Basically, the show has it's own concrete story and stuff, and the cast for the show talks about it and stuff in side comics and such. My friend and I thought it would be funny because it's sorta like poking fun at the ability to look at yourself from an outside perspective and poke fun at it like a creator would for something. That, and the characters they play aren't the same as their real selves which also means funny commentary.Yeah... we thought it was fun. P:
