round and round and going round and round

“Hop’n step’n, may I have this dance?
This is the world’s end. Shall we do the ‘one, two’?
Drink in all of this apocalypticism
How about a little taste of daze and

Tick and tack, the moment’s moving on
Shoot now, ‘say cheese’, our time is running out
Farewell, so long. Have a nice day!
Goodbye, to this world’s end –”
~ “World’s End Dancehall” by Wowaka, english version by Lasah

First time doing a (serious) lineless picture! It was really fun. I wanna do it more! :3

Anyway – Luka (pink hair) and Miku (teal hair) from World’s End Dancehall. World End Dancehall? I dunno. Moving on! I’ve liked that song for quite a while now but never got around to drawing fanart of it. But then, last night, I was listening to JubyPhonic’s (her dA. I still can’t believe I found it omgggg) and ✿ham’s duet English cover of it and I got inspired. Aaaaand then I listened to said cover throughout all of making this picture ahahahahahahaaaaa… ha…

Plus, the red string on their pinky fingers is supposed to be the red string of fate. P: I did the sketch in Art Rage and everything else in Photoshop. I don’t think PS liked all my gradients lol. xDD I heard it whirring. While wearing earphones. Hmmm. And you can flip it around, too! I uploaded the Luka side. By the way, I referenced this tutorial for the linelessness, too. Sure are a lot of links this post, huh?

Pretty sure that’s all. Enjoy, and have a nice week, everybody! Thanks again!

“That’s not the best plan of action,
And I know you know it
To drown in dark, withered days
Must no doubt be painful

If reality isn’t a lie, then what is it?
If you don’t understand, then…
How does it sound living together
In a world fabricated by man?”
~”Artificial Enemy” by Jin

LOOK IT’S AN ENE.
I had wanted to try something out and thought Ene would be perfect for it, so I drew this. …except I ended up not doing it anyway. Oh well, whatever.

Ene is one of my favourite characters from Jin’s Kagerou Project~ She’s a computer program. A very cute one. That used to be human but I’m still a little mixed up on that. I just like her okay?! OTL She seems very awesome. And most Kagepro fans have probably noticed this, but… Artifical Enemy? Ene? ENEmy?

This is the first time I’ve used Photoshop in a long time lol… I had to pretty much relearn it. OTL Some things, anyway. Should probably try to get back into using it… I have another Kagepro idea that would work best is PS… though I’ll leave that for later and work on other stuff. xD;; Oh, and Sloan helped with the background. And I was just gonna make it transparent… thank you Sloany!

Have a nice week, guys. Oh, and I posted something else too just now so be sure to look.

cute little bunny

I don’t know either lol.
I just wanted to draw something simple and cute. So… I guess I ended up drawing Yukari?
Honestly, I’m amazed at myself. Yukari Yuzuki is my favourite Vocaloid out of the third generation, yet I’ve never managed to finish a picture with her. Honestly. U__U

…don’t have much to say. Shading her hair made me think of grape pop. I really really really love Yukari. Made with Art Rage’s pen and crayon tools. It’s the long weekend yay. Enjoy the cuteness. Have a good week.

white hair, blue eyes, black wings…

…but what colour is her heart?
~ ~ ~

HEY
HEY LOOK
I DREW FANCY WINGS!!111shift1!!!1!1


So.
I come to you today with a drawing of one my OCs, Miz. I didn’t originally intend for it to be like this – I was just drawing this pose, intending for it to be happy, but then it stopped looking like a girl sitting cheerfully and more like a girl slightly curled into a ball. And I’ve wanted to do a drawing of Miz with this title for a while now, so I figured I’d do this instead!

I like how it turned out – for now, anyway. Has it’s problems, but I decided that perfection doesn’t exist a while back, so yeah. Could be worse, at least. :3 Oh, also… I referenced this tutorial for the wings, this tutorial for the feathers, and Sloan helped me out a bit too. C: I drew it in Art Rage, with the watercolour tool.

It will also be a year from when I joined dA on the 10th, so… I guess this is to celebrate it, in a way, though it wasn’t intentional when I started drawing it. I would put mushy stuff about how grateful I am to all the friends I made in this past year and the years before, but… I don’t know where to start… so here’s to another year of deviant-ness and friends, both new and old! *raises imaginary glass of chocolate milk* :’D
Thanks once again for looking and reading! I hope all you guys will read my babbles a year from now, too!

Shining

I am so good at titles.
HERE HAVE A ZELDA. From The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, to be exact.
O3O

So, um… lately I haven’t really been drawing much I’ve liked enough to finish, but recently I had to hurry up and get some art done, so I figured I’d do a couple headshots in the style of that Twilight Sparkle one I did a while back. This is the only one in that style I finished, though. |D;; I think I like her eyes the most. The gem isn’t bad either, though I ended up not making it as fancy as I had planned. :’c

I chose Skyward Sword Zelda over Twilight Princess Zelda because A) other than her nose I like her design better, B) her design is so much simpler and I was trying to hurry, C) other than pushing me off a floating rock, she’s more friendly than TP Zelda. xDD

And I also did this in Art Rage again. IT’S MORE FUN TO COLOUR IN OKAY. I used the crayon tool. P: I… think that’s about it… but check below for one other picture~ Thanks for looking, have a nice week!

A Soul of Silver

Shevi drew something that she actually likes a little bit?! It’s even a full-body! WHAT IS THIIIIIIISSSSSSS.
*ahem* Another drawing I had to rush, this time of Lyra (also known as Kotone or Soul) from the Pokemon games, Heartgold and Soulsilver. I think she’s in the anime too but idk.
I had originally intended for this to just be a really shiny headshot like Zelda or Twilight, but… I’m just gonna blame the cheerful music I was listening to at the time kay? I ended up making this instead. I’m kinda glad I did…

I had tried to add some Pokemon in (starters, the SS legendary I forgot the name of, even just a Furret) but I am a failure at drawing crocodiles, dragons and ferrets. ;3; IT’S FINE LIKE THIS RIGHT? RIGHT?! Oh, and by the way… the things near her Pokeball aren’t flies. They’re supposed to be Flying-type Pokemon far off in the distance… ;o;

Also, this is my first time making a serious background in Art Rage! It may not be the fanciest, but it’s better than nothing, I think. Now that I know how to do it without making the colouring different than it would be on a white background, I shouldn’t have to avoid them anymore. YAY. I made this with the watercolour tool (and others for the background and shinies and stuff), btw.

Once again, thank you so much for looking!

E-eh?!

So, um, this is Mary. She is one-quarter Medusae and her hair wiggles when she’s happy and didn’t know what an Ipod was until that one guy came along and I’m babbling again and she is from… well, it’s a song series that’s being turned into a manga and anime, I guess. I don’t know. I just know it’s called the Kagerou Project and her song in it is Imagination Forest. I also know that she is adorable and that is why I drew her :|

No idea what was said to her or who said it to make her blush like that. I just wanted to draw her with that expression hahahahahaha. I like how her eyes turned out. And I drew this with Art Rage again. Pen for the lineart, crayon for colours/lighter shading, watercolours for darker shading because I am derp, and various tools for effects and stuffles. Thanks for looking/reading and have a good week.

charity, compassion, devotion, integrity, optimism, leadership.

More pony fanart? WHAAAAAAAA—-

Well, to be honest, I’ve liked Twilight’s hair (mane? xD) style and wanted to draw it for a while now. And when I saw her new hairstyle I was like “OOOOOH I WANNA DRAW!”

So yeah. In case you can’t tell, it’s human Twilight Sparkle from the Season 3 finale, as a alicorn princess. Undecided on what I think of this developement yet. That would depend on how it goes with her friends and all that. I really liked the first part of the episode though, with the cutie mark switch! That was funny. xD Pinkie spitting out the water and Shining Armour’s “liquid pride” was good, too.

Also, I’m aware that her horn is missing and her crown is slightly wrong. I wasn’t sure how to work the horn in and by the time I realized about the crown, it was too late. OTL

I had /intended/ for it to just be a doodle, but… colouring in Art Rage is both more fun and harder than in Photoshop. After a while it gets hard to regard it as a “doodle”… *sigh* SPEAKING OF WHICH. This was made in Art Rage too. Ink pen for the lines, watercolour tool for the colours, gloop pen for eye shinies, tears, hair shinies, probably a bunch of other things for the effects. P: The only thing I really really like in this is the face. And even then.

And by the way, scroll down if you want to see a little Rin chibi. Thanks for looking and reading! Have a good week, everyone~!

“It’s amazing, isn’t it~? ♥”


“An adorable castle was diligently built,
With pink crows and stripey-striped cats.
It seems the lower classes I’ve recieved
Come every day to sightsee and make requests and such

But I shall solve any problem,
Since I am a great magician!
It’s amazing, isn’t it?”
~ “The Legendary Witch” by Travolta-P

So. Um. YEAH.
I found another really, really cute Rin song. I seem to be doing that a lot lately. But anyway, I was bored so I decided to draw a little chibi for it. 8D; Just a small, random little thing. Nothing special.

Ahem, moving on… if you watch my sister’s deviantART or look at her blog, you may have noticed she’s been using a program called Art Rage recently. This was made with the same program, using the ink pen for lines, crayon for colours, and various other tools for effects. xD; It is really awesome, and very cheap for it’s awesomeness! I’ve mostly been doodling in it lately, without anything getting past the sketch stage. Sorry.

I think that was about it? Other than if you like cute things, go listen to the song already! Plus happy March, everyone!

HBD: Something to Sing About


“Rock and roll, hey
Don’t you know, baby, we’re all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don’t you know, baby, we’re all alone now?
Give me something to sing about!”
~”Crush Crush Crush” by Paramore

So. This is what I drew for my sister’s birthday back in November. Yes, I am aware that I took forever to upload it. >__>;;
It’s one of her OCs, Gwin, who is a really awesome rockstar. 8D

I like how the hair, eyes, and ruffles turned out. O3O The hands and gloves aren’t bad, either. I remember being unsure about the clothes and colour scheme, and I’m still not 100% sure about the colour scheme – but it works, I guess. She says she likes it, and that’s the important thing, right?
I also tried a different pose before this, but I didn’t like how it looked so I was like “…NO. SHE DESERVES BETTER. MUST TRY SOMETHING ELSE” even though I was seriously running out of time. I believe I finished… the day before her birthday? Yeah, I’m awesome.

…I think that’s about it… so, yeah. Enjoy? Thanks for reading/looking~
