[u]Spoilers involved![/u] My friend's and my letter to Bandai Entertainment. We participated and (horribly) lost during the Haruhi Dance competition at Anime Expo, lol. But at least they enjoyed our letter =3 (It's probably in the trash) I did the Haruhi, Yuki, Ryoko, and Mikuru. My friend did Tsuruya and the bordering. It's a bit off because I was in a rush, lol. (We did it the night before the due date)

Some Tsukihime panel for some 4koma. I don't remember what it was about, but I didn't like it and therefore, it is dead art =P

Yuki Nagato again. I actually liked this a bit, which is surprising because I usually hate all of my drawings, lol. But I don't know where the file went.

Thanks for viewing!

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Wow!!! I'm amazed, I expected poor things from what you said in the angst post, but therse are all really good! I want to break down each individually.

The Fate/Stay Night one is spot on. I hadn't read the note on it and thought you were doing a doujin XD couldn't read some of it because the text is small, but very well done (though I guess that seems like I'm praising the original artist lol.) I'm not a fan of realism, so I can't say if the silent hill one is 'good' or 'bad' because realistic stuff alwas just looks 'creepy' to me XD

The Tsukihime montage is pretty cool, though the weird red light under knifegirl is pretty distracting. It looks like they were meant to be the life-lines but I can't really tell =_= otherwise I like pics you used. Cosplay Royal is awesome XD Is.... is that shadow Yuki?!

You really got Bleach's style captured with the bookmark, but I want to hurry alongto my personal faorite, Leon Magnus (whom I don't actually know of) in a bunny suit. Put simply, color me turned on :animeblus

Fon Master Ion looks great all except for the enormous hand, lol. Her face is adorable :catgirl: I also like the Haruhi gals, especially mikuru who just looks too cute!!!

I'm not sure what it is you don't like about that Aono pic! It looks amazing, one of the best works up there - the coloring is really great and it really captures the feel of her character (from the little Sola that I did watch). [/COLOR]

[GTK]

Leon ♥ Bunny suit Leon is made of god and awesome. But I'm biased. However, his hands could use some work. They don't look like they are resting on top of each other so much as they look pasted on top of each other. Does that make sense?

Totally digging the image of Heather, but I'm a sucker for anything done in a sort of sketchy style. The image itself is pretty nice though! Something about it seems a bit "softer" than the Heather I'm used to, but it's still really nicely done~

Something about the Bleach one bothers me... though I can't place it. I think it might be the fact that Ichigo has like way less shading on his face than Rukia does? Not sure... something about Ichigo seems really...plain. I do love me some cell shading though

I also like the Aono image T_T It would be nice to see finished ♥



I'd love to see more of your stuff though~ I really love the way you color~ What program are you using?

I was planning on inking the Fate one, and I started on it several months ago, but I sorta lost it, lol. That's why I usually tear up my drawings, since after a week, 99% of my drawings disappear into some pile of stuff, never to be found again.

lol... Yeah, the Silent Hill is one of my first realistic drawings I've done, and the first in like, three years, haha. I've had no practice pretty much, so it's going to look creepy, haha.

Knifegirl? If it's the blue-haired girl with the swords, the red light under her is Akiha's (the red haired girl) uh... firey claw thing. I dunno.

Shadow Yuki? It's an OC, lol.

You know Leon is a man, right?

You know Ion is a man, right? XD But he sounds and looks like a girl, lol...

Arms were too weird, same with the coloring. The only thing I liked was the background, haha. Or at least, the detail I put into some things. And if I colored the origami papers, maybe I'd like that too. The problem is that I usually quit right when I see a few things look weird.

Thanks for all the comments though. Since I am officially on break, I can update =P

Edit: @GTK: For things like Ichigo/Rukia bookmark, I used Photoshop. For other things (like Aono picture), I use an expired version of OpenCanvas, lol. The program still works, but I can't save the same file more than once, can't resize the image, can't copypasta, etc. And while I would like Photoshop, my slow computer is sloooooooooooooow. Sometimes it takes 30 minutes to save an image. One time, it took five minutes for my computer to process one brush stroke. What's even worse is that because of a defect in the computer itself, it won't process some commands, and it will sometimes process one command... too much. If I press CTRL, sometimes it will think I am holding CTRL. This ends up being a problem when I use the pen tool >_>

Thanks for pointing that Ichigo thing out!=3 I didn't realize that. Yeah, I did the two characters separately, on different .psd files, I think. I'm really careless when it comes to that stuff.

And as for Leon, I phail at hands =P and that 3-dimensionality whatsit, haha. I'll work on them, since I have time now =D Thanks again!

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Number one, yes. Number 2, I didn't but I suddenly have an abundance in interest in the cahracter. You didn't know I was a huge fan of traps? (you must not've been around when I had the trap sigs and avvys lol)

That anise one is REALLLY cute, very CLAMP-esque if I may say so. The Yuki one looks a lot like Genis from Tales of Symphonia cosplaying FWR lol still cute though. [/COLOR]

[eleanor]

[font="trebuchet ms"] Nice stuff, here. :) I love that you're doing several kinds of art forms (drawings, comic panels, etc.); I usually just stick to my sketchbook. lol

I'm trying to find a good word to describe how I interpret your drawings, but the best I can say is... the only thing you really need now is practice. Your proportions are spot on (which is to me the most important thing), your talent in drawing the hair/eyes/body are is great, but your drawings are just stiff. There is limited movement or flow in lines and expression, which I value the most after proportion. And that, I find, is what you get with tons of practice.

I have an example of a good artist on DA [i][url="http://endling.deviantart.com/art/Artdump-1-72750668"]here[/url][/i], because I probably sound confusing. I was reminded of him while I was talking about your artwork because I had just added that particular piece to my favorites earlier, but a lot of his poses are rather simple but still have good silhouettes that show motion.

But this is all stuff that comes naturally (with practice) to anyone with talent, so I'm sure you'll catch on quickly! :) Hope to see more stuff.[/font]

[Konata]

Ha-ha, Endling =P He's one of my "DA idols", despite the fact that I keep forgetting to DeviantWatch him >_> His Ree character is beautiful, and coloring skills... so sexy =P But anyways... lol rant tiem nao

Yeah, I know I'm way too conservative when it comes to drawing (Another person mentioned that before). I've been trying to break from that stiffness, but whenever I try, it comes out horribly wrong. So it's like, "That's because I need to practice". So I try and try, but I have this thing about quitting, which is really bad. If it looks horrible in general, I'll just quit. And plus, I'm really uncreative. Poses and stuff, I'm horrible at just thinking of what I want to draw. I have another main reason to why I'm so conservative, but I'll leave that classified =P And oh. One thing is that I hate how I draw anyways. Even the faces. And that's why I'm always spending most of my time changing styles.

I really like how some artists put their feeling into things. (Example: [u][url=http://saskiag.deviantart.com/art/Mugen-39260419]This[/url][/u]) It makes the art feel more alive. But I'm rather emotionless when it comes to stuff like that. I'm usually not inspired, and I rarely have any feeling to put into the art, lol.

There were times when I put some feeling into my crap, but then I lost them. Or I asked them to be thrown away, or I just tore them up, haha.

But of course, I'll try to post more of those kinds of pictures.
