Splatoon Mii Artwork

June 13, 2015

I’ve been enjoying the hell out of Splatoon.  It has also inspired me to do some artwork on the Miiverse. I hope this becomes more of a thing for me to draw fan art like this.

Sketchbook 002 – Konoha Scarf

October 14, 2014

AH3-Konoha-Scarf-WIP1

Played through story mode. Found out where Konoha’s scarf came from. I was touched. Felt like drawing it.

Coloring is rough, but I’m glad to get the idea out there.  I might finish it someday.


Project Hisui~nbirth 002

PHIB-002

A bit more progress done. Something as simple as walking can be rather complex. I almost just want to start with attempting to animate these 3 motions.

Speaking of animating, In Melty itself, there are these amount of frames for each sprite animation:

Standing/Idle: 16

Walking Forward: 13

Walking to Idle: 3

Walking Back: 12

Alot of the movement is the flowing of the cloth/hair or her shifting her position. I can probably get away with a bit by taking advantage her legs in movement since the dress covers a fair amount of her legs.

Still, for 2 days of just drawing this out with sources to play with, i feel it is good progress. Shading is a pain, but when isn’t it? Still got a long ways to go.


Project Hisui~nbirth – 001

October 7, 2014

PHIB-Stand

The idea came to me while i was thinkin of Hisui as usual. I have tried once before to make an HD Sprite of Hisui. In fact, it was my first post and… well.. it aint pretty.  But now that Under Night Inbirth is out in all its HD glory. It gave me a basis and a template to go off off when drawing an HD version of Hisui.

Here is something I worked on in a day. For reference, Orie is 163cm (5’4″) tall and Vatista is 140cm (4’7) tall.  Hisui is 156cm (5’1.” tall), so she lands somewhere in the middle. I feel this is a good start.

I’ll pos more of these as i go. Who know’s, maybe ill do the whole thing, (har har).


Sketchbook 001 – Animation is hard.

I think I’ll start throwing sketches in here… just cuz.


Not As Imagined – Time to reExamine

May 7, 2014

487602

 

It has been some time since I posted. Why? It is because the original intent of this website as a creative tool for art and writing has fell due to my lack of motivation in those subjects.

Quick history of myself, i have been drawing since middle school because of my interest in Anime. I have taken art classes each year from middle school to high school to college. I have several sketch pads of my old art work and countless pieces of sketches on various mediums. I am confident to say that I am knowledgeable at an amateur  to intermediate level in a technical basis.

What keeps me from going all out and drawing all out? While reasons and excuses are numerous, a recent realization came to me. I find that I am most motivated to draw when i DON’T WANT to do main responsibilities… like… homework… or something.  It is almost as if it was a futile escapist exercise. Another recent reason is that I do technical drafting of plans for a living, so my creative juices can be a bit drained.  There is also my recent interest in streaming fighting games on my stream.. at twitch.tv/numakie (shameless plug. haha)… which puts me out in the open, which i guess is a good thing…

What does this leave this website then… well if i am to continue to work on this, i have to use this as a vehicle not just for my art and creative endeavors, but also my recent interest in streaming as well.  Through my streaming, I found that i can still be creative beyond just drawing cute girls by doing personal stream layouts. I can also talk more about my FG streaming adventures, tournament results via posts, and various more things.  I can also still put my art and writing in this website still, since this is my personal website after all.

This means i have to change my mission statement to something more encompasing. Currently it is “Site to Vent my Endavors in Art, Writing, and Gaming. Also Streaming”. It is not gonna work anymore. Streaming isn’t just an afterthought anymore, it is more a part of me right now. I also still have my creative endavors…. I’ll think about this a bit.

To end this off, so you know that I have been up to stuff lately, let me show you my recent layouts and progress art… just so you know I HAVE been up to stuff.

First, some of my recent stream layouts.

Now here is a drawing of Cirno I am yet to finish.

Cirno Progress 2

Well that is it. While I think of something, look forward to a reexamination of this website.

Till then.


A day at a time & Going beyond the comfort zone

June 6, 2012

I really wish creativity came out quicker.  Instead I am stuck with trying to pull up past inspirations and find ways to improve on it.  The sketch on the left must have been done… i’unno…. 5 years ago? maybe?  I have tons of sketch books that contain my oodles and oodles of sketches over the years.  I’m just glad that I have the option of looking back.

One thing that i have been meaning to do more of is to move beyond just sketching on paper.  I have always enjoyed sketching something real quick. Usually it would just be a quick character sketch, some expressions, or the occasional background scene.   Over time though, I have found  that it is all i would do, and it felt as if I was limiting myself.   To improve beyond my skill, maybe I’ll have to break that limiter and just go all the way more often.

I’ll tell ya this much though, I have been drawing lots recently, and it feels good.  Now I just need to push myself harder.

Speaking of going beyond sketching, here is another drawing I did recently taken beyond just a sketch. Even inking takes a lot of effort.

I’m loving the boots on the left.

Now to sleep. Whew….
