Disney University - Aladdin

Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:16:48 PDT

I'll try to make Disney/Pixar characters in young and stylish concepts, some kind of "students", something like the new Pixar's Movie: Monster University.

Aladdin practiced dance with Esmeralda in the college gym. He has been part of a group of breakdancing and loves dance battles.
He also practice parkour and his favorite video game is "The Prince of Persia" (obviously, right? XD)

Hope you like it!

Secret Agent Calvin Hobbes: Meet Dr. Robin

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 15:39:24 PST

How Dr. Robin and Secret Agent Calv know each other:

As children, these two had constant feuds after Calvin literally stepped into Christopher's neck of the woods. That's when the Battle began, the test of their imagination. Calvin would talk about his friend and his abilities and Christopher would counter and say but can he... it went back and forth between the 2 of them. As they grew older they grew in different directions. Calvin met new people and made friends although his best and imaginary friend "Hobbes" stayed with him all the way into adulthood. Christopher on the other hand became more introverted but made the characters
he invented as a kid more apart of his character as he got older.

Why he's Calvin's Nemesis:

Christopher Robin had to leave for boarding school after being accused of burning down the 100 Acre Woods. Later ol Chrissy boy learned that someone saw a stripped shirt, wearing kid also wandering the woods on that very day. Turns out that Calvin who was fond of playing with matches at the time burned down most of the woods by mistake Chris got the heat though.

That sucks Balls!

Dr. Christopher Robins Occupation:

Multi-Billionaire inventor/ Psychoanalysis

Owns Hundert-Serca tech. Responsible for making tons of things but here are
just a few.

Owl: A satellite over the earth that can see everything on it.. but in different modes. thermo, infrared etc,

G.O.4: (Generically, Operated) and altered Troopers trained to be sort for the weapon for the government.

The really good shit though.he keeps for himself.

The many faces of Christopher Robin:

1. Pooh: decision-maker; leader (insight)

2. Tigger: enthusiastic; confident (ego)

3. Piglet: timid (fear)

4. Eeyore: pessimistic, persistence (depression)

5. Rabbit: organizer (responsible) *

6. Owl: thinker[skew] (wisdom) *

7. Kanga: instinct (intuitive)

8. Roo: prodigy (liberal)

9. Gopher: hard-worker (dedication) *

Related to: and

Part of this idea came from a collabo with very talented and great friend of mine...Mr. Suhail Smith aka Suzudayuki. You'll hear more from him later on for sure.

Wooaahh again, a long time without submitting here! ;A; I have loads of notes to check ;__;

I'm very... VERY EXCITED about the new Sailor Moon anime announcement! My inner child exploded and demanded me to draw Serena (I know it's Usagi, but I never get used to that name).

I really loved the transformations scenes, and all these ribbons, bubbles, stars and all that girly stuff

You can watch a bit of how this was done in my livestream channel [link]

New Who

Sun, 31 Jul 2011 20:43:55 PDT
It seems like most Whovians have a favorite Doctor, and often a favorite companion - but during a conversation with ~Jb-612 it occurred to me that I don't have favorites for this show. My favorites are usually whichever doctor/companion I've been watching most recently (Even when I go back and watch classic Who I get attached).

I love them all, and I wanted to draw them all - the three new Doctors and their primary companions (no whinging if I left out your favorite secondary companion. I love Jack as much as the next girl, or guy, or gender indeterminant alien being - but THIS took forever without adding more people in).

*EDIT*
I'm super excited that people love Oswin/Clara because I love her too! But...I'm not going to be adding her to this image. I knew when I drew it that it would quickly be out of date, this is often the nature of fanart. ♥

Ember Island moments

Mon, 02 Jul 2012 05:49:38 PDT
I feel like these little Zuko-family moments cause way too many emotions in me. Because no people but his family would probably see him like that. When Firelord Zuko himself turns back into an adorable awkward turtleduck he used to be...when he's out of his Firelord duties and can be free and careless for a moment:3

and yes, Zuko is the best daddy.:3

Escaflowne: A Reunion

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:55:46 PDT
Hi Guys!!!

For those who are die hard Escaflowne fans, here's a scene I know everyone's been picturing!

Scanned pencil art, then colored on pc...( I still don't have a tablet! waaaaaah) Pls. drop a comment persuading my parents to buy me one *wink*. hehehehe. I found the photograph of the forest somewhere on the net. Feel free to drop tips for coloring..still a beginner.

For those who don't know the anime, It's called The Vision of Escaflowne. The guy is Van Fanel and the girl is Hitomi Kanzaki. Watch it!! It will be worth it!
This is the place where they parted at the end of the anime. They're a little older though here. I made Van taller and Hitomi grew her hair out. Maybe 'bout 3-4 years after the end of the anime.

I tried to make this look like the anime...Kinda failed though.hehehee

Enjoy!! God Bless you all!!

And then they are never the same.

Will probably create more as the series goes on, or who knows, maybe I'll tack on some extra characters to this one. This was about all I could do for the time budget. Ah well.

Don't know what shipping is? Why don't YOU discover the delight here:[link]

Kataang family bits

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:13:33 PDT
Warning 1: HUGE file!
Warning 2: this is cheesy. xD

This whole Korra thing is overwhelming; and the more I think of it, the more I realise that Aang won't be there... and this makes me feel sad ç___ç
I don't think that we'll have many chances of seeing Aang and Katara's family life, so I felt like doing a bunch of random "missing moments" Beware for some massive Kataang and "cloudbabies"!
I don't know how Kya, Bumi and Tenzin looked like when they were kids, so I made them up ^^
Sorry if some of them are not much accurate, I just drew in a rush what I had in my mind

I'm tempted to do more of these: now I feel all warm and fuzzy inside And mommy!Katara is just so beautiful!

Hope you like it!
...and I hope you like cheese

EDIT: Holy cow!! You guys do like cheese!! :'DD

Airbender Kindergarten

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 01:49:55 PST
^{Man! It's been forever since I've drawn LOK stuff. I just remembered this old idea I had wanted to draw and finally drew it tonight.

Someone else has probably already done this idea, but whatever. I had fun with this for sure. That crying face is my favorite xD My thought for this was that Korra's going to have to spend a loooot of time with those kids as she tries to learn how to airbend (which she'll probably be a bit slow with at first). I just couldn't imagine her being a kid person and so having to share "Airbender Kindergarten" with this rowdy bunch of tykes would be the most torturous experience ever for her.

Originally I was going to put "Learn all the elements. Don't kill children." as her mantra but I went for something shorter and less violent.}
EDIT: Just joined Korra Nation which is a way of getting exclusive Legend of Korra content.
Please click my share link and learn more about it: [link]
Expect more shameless plugging, but I'm just gonna stick the link at the bottom of my avatar art. Click if you want to help out.

EDIT PART 2: I drew this before the show came out and before I learned anything really about their personalities and based their outfits on one picture I saw. Just so you know. This was before I knew much about these kids.

Art belongs to me.

Disney Heroine Pinups part 1

Sat, 19 Nov 2011 14:26:04 PST
Okay so here's part 1 of what I've been working on the side.

I know some of them aren't TRUE pinups. But I wanted to try to have them stay in-character although they are suppose to look sexy.

I had a different idea instead of entirely focusing on the body and curves of the character. I wanted to try to show the captivation of each character on why they are beautiful in their own way.

Ariel- Favorite past time of course is singing. And a beautiful voice she had. To be fair though I know people would point out on how she sacrificed her voice to be with a guy that she barely knew, which wasn't the wisest decision. But even if there are mixed reviews with this, I still like her character. She was the first disney princess i saw on big screen. So it's very nostalgic for me .

Aurora- To be honest, I couldn't draw Aurora in the princess outfit, just cause throughout the duration of the movie in the second half , she was mostly depressed in those scenes. And when she was put to sleep, she looked well.. dead. I wanted to show how much of a dreamer she really was which i bet when she slept at the cottage when she was a peasant, she had wonderful dreams during those times.

Snow white- I didn't have much idea to work on this one other that she was very kind, sings, and loved animals. So sorry if it's a generic pose.

Jane- I really had fun with this one. Just cause she had such an interest in doing sketches of her findings. This is basically every artist girl that i know would do. When they find something to draw, they get excited and sketch away. And it's beautiful to see someone passionate like that.

Kida- I haven't seen a lot of people online talk about this princess that much or even seen a lot of pinups. But i really liked this woman. She was fierce and powerful in her own way. And at that part of the crystal chamber, it gave me goosebumps . I know people may say it was a cliche' part, like something you would see from many anime shows/movies. But i love that scene nonetheless, even if it is cliche.

Mulan- This was my first pinup that I started off with. Now I know that cutting her hair in the movie was a very emotional part and she was basically serious in this picture. I know she wouldn't be smiling when she did this. But I drew it as mostly of a symbol on how much she sacrificed in order to save her father, trying to show how noble she was.

Anyways, will make more later.

I was trying to draw Naga to add into the group picture, but I was having a difficult time drawing her without practicing her otherwise. So... this just came out and yeah. I'll probably move it to my scraps later once I get some sleep.

Kuragehime - Princess Charming

Thu, 09 Jun 2011 21:27:06 PDT
Kuragehime (Jellyfish Princess) FANART!

Kuranosuke x Tsukimi.

And for those of you who don't know about this adorable series, this is NOT Yuri. It's 100% Het. lol.

The pretty purple haired girl is actually a boy who just happens to cross dress for a hobby.

I LOOOOVE these two! This series is so cute! And the characters themselves are all so relatable. Tsukimi, you're so nerdy and awkward I just wanna pinch ur cheeks!!! Watch it/Read it if you haven't!!!! (read it especially since the anime ends too soon)

I think that if these two were to ever have a wedding, they'd both be wearing Jellyfish wedding dresses that they both made <3

I've wanted to do fanart of these two since I first saw it months and months ago. Dunno why it took me so long. I think part of the reason why I love them so much is because they remind me so much of Seiya/Usagi from Sailor Moon. >.<

Although, I have to admit, Tsukimi x Shuu is also very squishable.

Watch the anime here on Funimation's website: [link]

Three Days Two Years One Piece

Edit: Tattoo fixed!

All colors done with Copic markers.
Time: 40-50 hours.

Yes, the one yesterday was a joke. Here's the real one.

First One Piece colorspread in... I think a year. I apologize for the long hiatus of decent OP fanart, I hope this makes up for it. Also (believe it or not), the first OP colorspread EVER featuring the Strawhats not in chibi form! Partly it's because of my fear of not being able to do these guys justice, but mostly because there are just too many of them.

Also, apologies for slapping the watermark everywhere. I really don't want to be accused of stealing my own art, nor be accused of uploading Oda's colorspread from a nonexistent chapter. Yeah, I'm looking at you, scanlation teams.

And lastly, some progress shots, to prove that I did draw this. People seem to have trouble believing that.

Jem and the Holograms

Thu, 05 May 2011 20:32:02 PDT
Poor poor Shana......she was my favorite.

I had her doll......

She had purple hair and a purple dress...purple was my favorite color....

But alas, I could not find a composition that fit everyone including the drummer and was still interesting to look at. So she was left out. Poor poor Shana.....
Maybe I'll just have to give her her own fan art to make up for it. If my lazy ass ever gets around to it.

This piece is SOOOOOO old. It was drawn OVER a year ago. Shortly after I discovered the Google SketchUp program. An incredible tool for getting tough perspectives or difficult to draw objects. I used it for the stage and microphones as well as the guitar.
I also started coloring this piece OVER a year ago. I didn't like how it was turning out. Then I got frustrated. Then I got discouraged. Then it sat on the computer for about a year, until 2011, when I tried again. And finally finished the bitch. I gotta stop doing that.

Babylon Rogues: Get It

Sun, 03 Apr 2011 16:59:31 PDT
Illustration of the Babylon Rogues mainly done because I've never drawn Jet with his goggles and thought I should.

It would have been better if the three were to FIT on the paper but eh, I didn't really think of that when drawing it out.

Drew gold SEGA bars, gems around Jet since he's all for money and riches. Wave has techy stuff and a Riders magazine (poorly drawn BTW) and wires around her because she's the technical one of the trio.

And Storm, I've always pictured Storm having a fixation with jewelery. So, he's all pimped out. His left hand, he's wearing rings that spell "PUNK" but since Wave is in the way, it only says "PUN".

crisis core - 17 days

Fri, 02 May 2008 05:49:41 PDT
I did a Crisis Core countdown, and I got the 17 Days slot. I drew it, did most of the coloring, but life was kicking her ass hardcore so I finished up her coloring the best I could.

I'm responsible for the badly done leaves (ew) and the weird shadows on the tail (double ew), so not to ruin her good name. I did the grass though! I am ridiculously proud of that grass XD

Anyway, fanart of Zack Fair (!!!!) and Cloud Strife.

ETA: I touched this up a while ago to sell as a print at conventions, figured I should upload it here too

Disneyfied - Escaflowne

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 01:10:39 PDT
Geez...I love this show. The story, the characters, the animation quality, the designs, and the English dub are all fantastic, which seems like a rare thing with anime. Oh, and the music. The music is so good. Probably one of my favorite soundtracks ever. Same goes for the movie soundtrack. Both were done by Yoko Kanno, who is amazing (Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, to name a few).

I just watched the entire series in three days with my little sis (I'm forcing her to relive my childhood). And she loved it, too. I don't know how many people know about it, though. Fox had a horrendous version of it on TV many years ago, and that might've scared people off. And the movie, though it looks fantastic, is quite confusing if you haven't seen the series. Still, definitely worth looking into. Anyhoo...here we go (clockwise from top left):

Merle - Cute little cat girl who glomps Van every time she sees him (*Van comes out of the bathroom* Merle: LORD VAN! *glomp*)
Hitomi - While I normally don't like whiny heroines, I like Hitomi. And she can be pretty whiny at times. But she's great because her hair is short. And she runs track. And every guy is in love with her.
Allen - Allen could so easily be a girl. But they managed to make him chivalrous and manly and charming, which is cool.
Gatti and Chesta - My two favorite Dragonslayers, the *very* dedicated troupe of boy soldiers that serve and get slapped around by Dilandau.
Dilandau - AW DILLY-SAMA! He's my favorite! I love him the most when he is completely insane.
Eriya and Naria - I hated these two at first - the stereotypical evil femme fatales, but then they make you feel all sorry for them
Folken - Ah, Folken. The wayward son/older brother. I just realized how similar he looks to David Bowie à la Labyrinth. The movie-verse Folken is even more similar.
Van - Van is just too cute. Especially when he busts out the wings and loses the shirt.
Gaddes - Gaddes is awesome. And not just because his movie-verse self has the sexiest stomach (which he shows off with midriff-bearing skin-tight tops)
Dryden - Just your average hippie, merchant king dude.
Millerna - The spoiled princess. But she was did help out and even grew up a little as the series went on.

Where you belong.

Aaand these two were my favorite characters (tied with Sis).

For those interested in the film, you can watch it in its entirety on Youtube, starting here: [link]

Thanks for stopping by.

It took me a really long time, (because I had not time) but I finally finished Pluto. And I couldn't submit the other scouts until she was done because I would ruin my geeky attempt at submitting them in order of appearance.....so here she is. Followed by the rest of em.

Sailor Uranus

I couldn't remember whether it was Uranus or Neptune who showed up first. I thought I remembered them showing up at the same time. But I'm too lazy to check, and quite frankly, I don't care that much. So here's Uranus first, and Neptune right after.

Apparently, I draw a pretty manly Sailor Moon.

[edit] I didn't mean to direct attention at the guy who wrote that manly-comment on the deviation. A bunch of people made this criticism on another site so I drew this as a general response. No singling out intended here!

I've wanted to draw such a group picture for 12 years now, but by the time I learned enough about drawing to pull it off my Sailormoon drive had gone away. No longer!

[edit] Whoaaa nelly, thanks *Terpfen and `Charmandarz for the DD feature!

_{GAH. I don't care about titles right now, XD.

No, guys, I did not spent about 3 hours in this, why do you ask.

Haha, okay, I should calm down. I had great fun doing this, kisses are actually one of the very few things I enjoy drawing :3.
At first I didn't know which pairing I should draw and while I was sketching I realized that all my OTPs in Avatar deserved a place here. So I just drew them in no particular order, but I had to think which kiss would suit each couple best :3.

Sukka: This pairing was one of the firsts in the show, even if I don't draw them that much, I can assure you I love them together; I always enjoyed their interactions. Why the forehead kiss? because Sokka is (over)protective of the girls he cares about. I kinda wanted to show that not in an 'get away from me I'm capable of taking care of myself' way but a 'thanks for protecting me' one and I hope I did well ;u;.

Kataang: SWEETNESS. Tenderness to its highest level. This doesn't need explanation, does it? Kataang is cute, tender, sweet, .The couple which had more development throughout the series.

(Post Finale)Ty Zula: <3 Ty Zula may not be 'omgcanon' but you know their interactions in the show could be read as something else . ♥♥. I thought the 'kiss on the ear' was something that could suit this pairing the best, Ty Lee would enjoy trying to cheer up Azula through kisses and hugs. ( and Azula's reaction would be somewhat aggressive but you know how her mood works XD)

Maiko: <3 Kiss on the lips because they couldn't stop eating face during the first part of the 3rd season XD. . IMHO, they were the most realistic couple in the series, while not much development, their feelings for each other were shown mostly through body language and you all know how much of a fag I am for them .}

tl;dr <3. My OTPs in Avatar, all in this KISS meme. . Much love .

If you have time and want to do this meme, I ENCOURAGE YOU, here the link : [link]

Avatar: The Last Airbender belongs to Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino.

Art belongs to me. No touchie.

As always, No one cares about your disgust towards ANY pairing shown here. Shipping ain't srs bznss. Go love your fanon, I'm completely fine with my canon.

It feels really good to complete a full picture again. <3

Especially when it's of a new favorite couple of mine!

This is Hiruma Yoichi and Anezaki Mamori from Eyeshield 21, a football manga.

Many of you who know me also know I reeeaaally don't care for sports. However, while I was reluctant to read it, the characters really drew me in and kept me going until the very end.

These two were awesome. Once Mamori becomes the team manager, these two end up having to work together. There were many arguments in the beginning, to say the least, but they really grew close as the manga continued. It was a really natural development, I thought.

In this picture, their outfits are roughly based off of the ones they wear in the last chapter. Of course I don't know the actual colors, but I think I improvised well.

~Slight spoilers~

They ended up going to the same university together (named Saikyoudai), so the premise of this is supposed to be them casually working on schoolwork or football team management things--either one--Hiruma with his computer and Mamori with old fashioned pen and paper. XD It's the way they seem to operate.

But anyway, I really do love how this piece came out. I had a lot of fun doing it! Trying out a new angle and perspective was nice too.

Enjoy!

P.S. The poster on the wall is official artwork and logo, I didn't draw that. XD

08/12/09 ~ This piece won 3rd place for Anime Iowa's fanart contest! I'm so ecstatic right now XD
