From the Post with love

I got my copy of the Gundam00 doujinshi anthology today. It's so different when your work goes into actual print! Everything looks all neat and tidy, and because the image is scaled down, the images look almost professional. (Except because I know which areas on my drawing went wonky, because...I can see them). The wonderful image on the facing page was done by Kaiser.

Haha, shameless plug for myself, an image of Blithe and Aein. But it was great to be part of an anthology with so many other talented artists!

In other news, I am about to kick myself. I accidentally forgot to save the layers for the Soul Eater draft (previous post), so now the lineart and colour layers are merged together. Drat. I'll have to redo the lineart, but all is not lost. It just means I'll have to finish the image like the oekaki forums I used to use...(I used the oekaki BBS when the programme was still in its primitive phases....I recall only have 2 layers to work with, and a limited colour palette).

Before I forget....

Please support the G00 anthology; there are plenty of talented people contributing towards this, and the book is bound to be interesting. Plus, if you like my illustrations, you'll see it inside (shameless plug).

It's even cheaper than most of the doujinshi you'll find online (10USD for the book, 16USD figures in the shipping fee). Seriously, just click the link and find out more!

INDIE!!

The image I am going to use for the self-profile at the end of the G00 anthology. I was going to draw Tieria again, but I really wanted to try something different and more personal instead. So I'm using two of my own characters, Blithe and Aein. With a trillion daisies. Could have done the flowers using screentones, but then they'll look inorganic and....foreign from the rest of the drawing.

And the actual G00 drawing I am doing on one page. Didn't want to draw an entire comic strip (I knew I was going to be pressed for time), nor did I want to write an essay. I really do admire people who have the dedication and creativity to come up with works like that....as for me, one page is such a drain already. I haven't screentoned this image yet, and hopefully I will get that done soon enough. Yar.

Finally got my hands on Indiana Jones tickets today. While I must say that the plot was a little bit of a stretch--for crying out loud; it's Indiana Jones! Doesn't have to make much sense. (Plus, with Spielberg in the equation...it was bound to happen). Good to see Harrison Ford back in business with his hat and whip.

Countdown to Graduation: 17 days

Ah, here is an image I will never finish. I started this early 2007, but I kept changing the character designs over time and now...this is seriously out-of-date. Edel has shorter hair and looks more masculine, and Aein has a straight fringe and an asymmetrical hairstyle. But the colour scheme has remained the same.

I'm also doing a Gundam00 doujinshi page....must start now. Check out the Gundam00 Livejournal page for more information!
