Who wants Ice-cream?

oh, yes you do....

a diff way of inking

As I like to play Magic the Gathering, This sketch sums it up (I played token decks, which summon a whole hell a lot of creatures)


The last Pic is the pic I shown in an FB group that you can ink using freehand Tablet or using the pen tool inking. IMO, I prefer the freehand one but if you don't have a table... using pen tool is your other option.

Thru the ages!

My Friend, V, showed her how her OC would look like when they grew up, so I did the same thing (automatically) for Xerone & Sachou

 Basically Xerone's spikes are softer & thick when he's little. Plus his chocolate obsession increases as he grew up. LOL The bunny plushie he hugged is based on combination of my own plushies that I have at home, "Rabbit" & "Bear". Missing one eye is (Bear's) & lopsided ear (Rabbit) is what they looks like now


 
For Sachou, he also is not changed much through out the year, although his personality that changed much. In early age, his hair is kinda silky & unstyled a bit, but after the assasination attempt, he started to slicked his hair back.


As I drew this, one thing stands out between both of them, that is their smile. Xerone started out as a child who rarely smile but after he lost his memories he started to smile more often, genuine smile. Sachou however, he started as a child who smile/have his emotion (as what spoil brat does) then as he grew up & after the assassination attempt, he gradually lose his smile & eventually his emotion....

Then I got an idea what did Sachou do while in college, I made him take double Major degree, one in Business, the other in Fashion Design. my friend V pointed out that I made him look gayer, which I doubt it coz the reason he took the Fashion Design is because he wanna learn to make dresses to Eppy. As for the style of his fashion design I was thinking he much prefer the formal wear attire (+ I <3 men in suits, *wipes drool*)

Xerone & Ally Sketch

This one came out from blue, I was working yesterday & while waiting for FA work to be uploaded, I sketch this. At first i just want to draw Ally, then it transform to crying Ally hugging an unconscious & apparently wounded Xerone (damn you Kotetsu in T&B epi 23!!!). I hope in the actual comic I didn't have use the sketch....

lol, long legs are looong

The previous sketch on SAI is almost done, only to find the way to shade his hair without messing it up

Testing out Manga Studio EX

I tested out the Manga Studio EX for this short comic (which still in WIP), i love the brushes! The inspiration for the comic is from 30 seconds to Mars chorus lyric...

Tell me would you kill 
to save a life?
Tell me would you kill
to prove you're right?
Crash crash burn let it all burn
This hurricane chasing us all underground

So this comic somehow explained Xerone's relationship loyalty to Sachou. The ded guy, is his first kill ever. For Xerone, he's willing to take a life just to save his beloved friend. Xerone is abt 15 or 16 in here & Sachou is abt 12/13

Ebimayo!

I did this in the same mangaStudio EX as the yan Bunny one....

Comic Fiesta 100 days - Day 85

 Yokuyatta! I was so worried it didn't submitted on time for the 100 days comic fiesta (the email bounced back- wrong email add, my baaaad) & I didn't discover this until 2 days before the day 85; that is today~~~
CF 100 Days - Day 85 Medium - Paint tool SAI




I know there's a lot of mistakes, but very satisfied the way it turned out. Futhermore I made it using SAI (1st time use & complete drawing!). It's because my home computer is kinda clogged & Photoshop is a very heavy application, so I just use SAI instead & very pleased to use it. Took a lot of time on colouring Coffy but mostly enjoyed to colour Tea & YingYong in bubbles! the flowers at first I wana do daffodils but Tiger Lily is acceptable. I'll do mah best to improve!
