Late, AND nothing to post about this week! Why? I was internet-less for a few days, and when I got back, was flooded with comments and emails from everywhere. Spent time responding, but then didn't have time to write a post.
So, here's two youtube videos of a couple of sketches I made, both of them of Miku. Feel free to comment, critique, etc.
An unexpected purchase last Friday – I went to Aberdeen Center and saw Ruka for sale at one of the figure shops. Many bootleg nendoroids around, but I could tell this one was authentic. My Ritsu arrived in the mail on the same day too. Two more to go, and my K-On! collection will be complete. I’ve got a special photoshop idea in mind once that happens. A new painting that I did. Only took about 5 or 6 hours, this one. It’s sorta “improv” painting. No reference photos or anything, and just paint whatever comes at the moment. It’s a wallpaper, so click on it if you want to see the full size. Here’s a youtube video of it too! Do you recognize the songs?

I’ve been looking back at my own artwork again, and since I haven’t painted in a long time, decided to try some exercises. I want to move more towards realism, in whatever way I can, and try to create things that are unique in both anime and realism – a hybrid as you may have heard me talk about it before. One thing that I did want to improve upon was understanding light and shadow more. So I did a couple of exercise studies and painted a few things that I saw on my desk. It wasn’t very fun until I decided to give Miku a try.
