04 Hard-boiled!

Going back to the character meme, though this one feels like a bit of a cheat. Shoutarou from Kamen Rider W. I find it hard to tell if I genuinely love this character or if I just think Kiriyama Renn looks great in a suit and trilby hat. I suspect I'll err more on the side of character love when I watch the last ten episodes of the series which I'm currently downloading. Double was a good series. It had a distinct look and character and was very clear about that. I haven't a clue what they're trying for with OOOs except maybe to cook up some horrible Kuuga/555 casserole. But I digress...
Not a very exciting post, sorry.

FSF*01



Bought a new sketchbook while I was in Cork for 99c. Here is some of the things I put in it. The top and bottom ones are to do with my ideas for my grad!film. The middle ones were observational. I forgot all about Dancin' Dave. I think everyone in the Cork area knows of him. Nice of him to put in an appearance the day I was in the city for the first time in a half a year.
On the whole, I find it very difficult to gauge whether I've gotten better or worse at drawing since I started college.

too long

Been a while since I sat at my laptop in my pajamas doodling til 10am. I've forgotten how to get colours to blend when painting in photoshop. Anyone remind me what brushes are good for this? I've gone back to old habits from Open Canvas 4...

03 Allow me

Lulu, Final Fantasy X.

Since everyone can learn everything in X, it made me sad that Lulu loses her specialness as a mage pretty early :c Loved her design the second I saw her. Not to mention her weapon has a doll. Ahh.. these were the things I liked about Final Fantasy...

02 Those dolls in the underground...

Vivi, Final Fantasy IX.

Picture:Hm. Not quite how I wanted it.
Comment:Hands down my favourite character in all of FF. The scene with the mages falling off the airship broke my heart :'S

 Edit:  extra Vivi because I was pretty exhausted when I drew the other one last night and because he's special.

01 A bear, you say.

It's difficult to capture personified madness that is Nango-sempai. Most of my attempts to draw him end up as a page of frenzied scribbles. He's way OTT and the whole show (Delicious Gakuin) is completely retarded but it kind of works for me and he's remained one of my favourite characters ever.

Oh yeah btw, jumping on the band wagon and going to try drawing twenty of my favourite characters from tv/game/other pop culture mediums.

moar pokemons

I have a long history of naming pokemon after people/characters. Can you guess who my Roseila-soon-to-be-Roserade is named after?
[It's Holiday after Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's]

Quagsire is one of my favourite pokemon ever. I've used one in every game they've been catchable in since GS. My current one is called Odhran; one of my favourite names ever. I first heard it when I met a kid called Odhran Hayes-Brennan; I think he has an amazing name. I'm a bit jealous, even still. So I named a pokemon after him.
