Osu!

Gotta get drawing! O... O....

OUENDAN!!!

Animoo North!!

Hey there!

As the title says, yes, I'm going to ramble on about Anime North.
It's happening at the end of May. It will be my first time at the con, as well as my first time cosplaying! It's been ages since I've sewn anything, so wish me luck!! As for who I'm cosplaying, it's Rin from the japanese DS game Ouendan. (I think her name's Rin if I remember correctly! Haha, my memory sucks!!) She's the pink haired cheerleader below:
My progress so far is that I have everything but the top and the skirt. I've done everything but the sewing part!! (Oh noes!!) My sister Carolyn, whom I'm sharing an apartment with, is much more experienced with cosplay, and has done at least 5 costumes in her time :) She's going to cosplay the leader of the blue cheerleader team from Ouendan, actually. :)

Here are the shoes that I've painted. The symbol is a liiiiittle too big, but I was thankful for that mistake in the end because the details were small enough to paint as is!

Here is the Red Team's symbol. I traced over it in Flash because a) I couldn't find an image of just the logo by itself on a white background and b) Vector images are awesome because you can resize them by any percent and never lose the quality! :D

Here's how the wig looks. It is not the right style - I messed up again there. The back is really short hair D: I'll just settle for this 50% correct wig and get a new one if I feel like it! By the way Teresa, sorry you have such a strange older sister! Haha!

Once things pick up more on the costume, I'll post more images of it. Anyways, it's almost 10 and I haven't eaten breakfast yet @___@. My stomach is mad at me.

I'm very happy 'cause today I'll be seeing my Gnome~! :D We're working on a top-secret project together. (shhhh!!) I'll blog about it once it's done. Speaking of secret projects, I've gotten a third comic project on the go now!! Well, it's not set in stone yet, but feedback on sketches and design are positive. I'm excited too because it'll be my first paying comic job! So wish me luck on that :D

Talk to you guys later, have an awesome day!

Who Needs a Scanner?

...When you have a camera?!

...

Actually, yeah. I very much want my scanner to work again. This camera doesn't take very good shots.

I've posted them up anyway. Have fun looking!

A baby horse and a mommy horse. I've been trying for years to draw better horses, and I'd like to think that I'm becoming a bit better at actually making them look like they're supposed to. (provided there is photo reference close at hand, haw haw)

Erm, random old doodle I thought was funny. (I found it in an old scans file of mine) Frollo loving Joyces? Well, remember that old 3D animation show Insectors? I used to watch that as a kid when it was on YTV. On the commercial the YTV guy called them "Floral loving Joyces", but as a fan of Hunchback of Notre Dame, I conveniently heard him wrong...
Here's another random doodle from my scans file. Remember that episode of Batman called "The Joker's Favor"? My favourite episode. So I went and drew this very... rough strip of it. It's drawn terribly, but that's why I think it's funny.

Here is another photo of a recent doodle. I found these puppies on the google image search and they were just too cute.

I can't seem to find the photo reference for this one... But it was found on Google or Yahoo image search.
Random Spidey. I hate the way his hand turned out, so I didn't feel like drawing the other.

'Nother random doodle from my scans file. Based on a Japanese game I like called Ouendan. The character designs in that are hilarious!

Character my friend Sabel created - Catherine. I should draw her characters for her more often >,

Last but not least, another character of Sabel's only drawn in my experimental "cartoony" style. Fairies and girly stuff - gotta love 'em!!
