Starting September

September 3

Saw some game-play of Sonic Colours recently. It certainly lives up to its name, it’s so colourful. The game-play reminds me of old Sonic games and some of the early new-gen games from the Gamecube. Looks like fun.

Recent-ish art:

Old art, recently coloured.

I like to draw Miku and Rin alot, although I don’t colour drawings of Miku often because her hair is murder to colour and detail with its extreme length.

Somewhat inspired by Miku’s song: Rotten girl, grotesque romance.

I drew and coloured this a few days ago. (And right before I found out Ben Hurst died. What a coincidence…)

Old junk

Finally saw the Black Rock Shooter anime episode last night. I quite liked it, especially the fighting scenes. How the two didn’t talk made it a little suspenseful and mysterious since in animation I’m so used to two characters, while fighting, go on and on and on talking. The mundane scenes with the 2-3 school girls were nice too. But the scene switching between the two pairs was a bit abrupt sometimes.

I’ve been thinking about Chouwa Game alot recently, it was my first real attempt at making a game. It was never finished, because after a lot of work starting the first level and some of the second level, the game data corrupted and I lost my motivation to program it all again. Even so, the time I did spend on it, I always had fun replaying the first level over and over, even though the level itself was still incomplete.

The game was a side-scroller 2P PC game that I made for entertaining myself with a game I knew I’d player over and over.

Player 1 could choose their gender, default was female. Although I think I decided to remove the gender picking option, so the male character was never used.

Player 2 played as an enthusiastic bomb. The second player was not required; but it made it more fun because you could go through the levels together, but you weren’t allowed to touch each other or player one would die.

There was no story or goal, you just passed the levels and killed things for points.

The game was based on my favourite games (two of the inspirations would have been Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Pitfall), but mostly the infinite type of game where you go on and on forever till you die or somehow make it to the last level. But if you completed the final level you’d see an animated scene with the two players.

Art related to the game:

Wut r blog titlez?

My inspiration has been very small lately, it makes it a good opportunity to try to finish old things I never even considered finishing. So I target my Tegaki E and Teburo drawings.

This was originally just a practice sketch for sitting poses I did on Teburo. I like how it came out in colour, (even if I did get really lazy on the grass).

A comment request from my kissing baton entry for the Tegaki E Dr Wily’s Robot Masters roleplay group. I decided I thought it was randomly funny enough to colour. But I also made an edited alternative, replacing Forte with Kalinka.

I want to colour at least 2 or more other comments from this baton.

I’ve been wanting to get back into drawing Teburo comics like I used to. My favourites to do were always the ones with Crashman, because I find him the most interesting character to work with in a comic.

Here’s a random panel (without background) from my latest comic involving Crashman and Rockman. This one is being coloured in openCanvas, but the original sketches were done in Teburo.

This comic is just random for practice, I’ll probably say more about it when I’m done with it.

I draw thingz

Huh, every time I see previews of the BRS anime, I get more and more interested.

Speaking of, for some reason it annoys me a lot when people think Black Rock Shooter is Miku/Vocaloid related.

Atmo told me to draw something on iScribble. She also said it was not allowed to be a kitty person or a weirdo gender-bend (I draw weird things when I’m really bored, okay).

Thus this. Then I coloured it in because I wanted something to colour and it was right in front of me, so why not? I overlayed a tiny bit of blue in openCanvas because the eyes and skin’s colours were bothering me when against all that blue.

Something’s wrong when I take even my crack drawings seriously. But oh well, practice is practice.

Slightly off-model Toki doodle I drew in iScribble. I changed her name to Shiro Epona (originally Shiro Tokine), but I still call her Toki as a nickname to make it less confusing (since one of my online nicknames is also Shiro).

And Kah looking creepy. Doodled when I was feeling kinda crappy.

She was actually the first OC I ever made (originally named Saranka before I changed it somewhere around ’07, I think).

In 2003, when I first began drawing, she was the first thing I doodled, as a test (to see if drawing was interesting, since I never did draw before then). Then proceeded to draw more made up characters because I found I liked to draw (but I’m not going to talk about them).

She’s not changed a lot visually, but she has changed in personality and story I guess. She’s supposed to wear a hat a lot of the time, but I usually never draw it.

Coloured this just because I can. I originally drew this quick drawing of Roll on the TMMN oekaki doodle board. So I edited it in openCanvas (after using MS Paint to get rid of the sketch lines).

Melody Hughes, uhh… standing there. I just wanted to draw her. She’s 17 but supposed to be short, which is why her height proportions look kinda funny.

I always accidentally drew her too tall over the prior years, also she’s meant to have a somewhat strong body type since she does a lot of out-door things (especially climbing).

Left to right: Astra, Adhara, Andrea. Varying how I draw faces more, I don’t like how Drea’s came out.
