Another painting with photoshop diary! I haven’t painted anything anime in quite a while, and it’s something I’ve been wanting to do, but have been putting off for some time now. Getting back into it was difficult, and I gave up on a piece mid-way because it just was not what I wanted. Check out how this one was made after the jump!

Moe Haruhi

Another fan-art. Haruhi is always so bossy and demanding. She’s the equivalent of a lot of stereotypical “violent korean girlfriends“. For Haruhi, Moe just doesn’t happen with her. Going along with the alternate Mikuru, why not reverse the role with Haruhi as well? Here’s Moe Haruhi! Super kawaii!! In terms of drawing anime art, I would have to say that the paint job in this one was most satisfying. It actually didn’t take all that long to paint or to draw either. All in all, I would have to say that moe is a very easy style to draw.

Alternate Mikuru

This isn’t the first time I’ve ever done fan-art. Everytime I do though, I try to represent the character in a different light, to show some variety and for people to think “what if…”. It certainly brings a bit of flavor to the picture. I decided to draw Mikuru Asahina. Mikuru is always getting abused and molested by Haruhi. She’s also completely, and ridiculously moe. So much so that I got sick and tired of it. What better way to try a fan art of Mikuru but with a completely opposite attitude for her?

Are You a Hentai Otaku?!

I’m sure most of us collect anime figurines for the same reason – They’re stylish, cool, aesthetically appealing, and cute. They have nice creatively designed outfits, and well, they can be sexy. From my standpoint, they’re just that – aesthetically pleasing PVC. Artistic, dynamically sculpted, and capture the original character in a state of suspended animation. And in a way, a statement of your fandom towards that particular series. So why do people think you’re perverted?! You’re puzzled. You think “What is it about my hobby and fandom that lets you pass that sort of judgement on me, a perfectly normal person?” To them, they see a figurine wearing practically nothing, posed in a provocative manner, usually with large breasts, and even they themselves are often tempted to peer underneath the skirt to see what panties these pvc girls wear, if any. I just discovered that Arin, from Super Swing Golf Pangya wears polkadot panties, thanks to a coworker that decidedly looked up her skirt. After owning her for so long, I actually never thought to look. My mind has now been tainted.
