Wishing Upon Stars

Insipired by Pixar's La Luna with the usual spiel of children getting spirited away to far off places filled with mystery and wonder~

ORAS

ORAS COUNTDOWN DAY 21

Go check out the other entries, there's some really good ones over there!

Anime Angels II: Two-Faced

I was planning to post this on Halloween since the theme is appropriate, but my overnight shifts made me forget.

I went with a Lucifer-themed piece with both his angel self and fallen angel self. Truthfully, I enjoyed working on fallen angel!Lucifer more. *coughsclerascough*

Anime Angel's I: Snow's Descent

Finally getting around to posting the works that I wasn't allowed to post yet.

Around Fanime last year, I was approached by someone at my booth promoting about an artbook collaboration with several other artists around the world and asked if I would like to be a part of it. I didn't too much about it, but said sure anyways, what did I have to lose? Several months later I'm getting emails from the them in a group email that included many other talented artists and I was first like "What is this?...OH! That thing back in Fanime!" So several months later, the group Maron Media has given birth to the Anime Angel's Artbook~

So in result I made two pieces for the artbook, this being the first of them.

There was a note at the end of the emails when we were first starting to mix it up a bit, since 75% of the art was most likely going to be of pretty girls with wings. So I went less happy, cheerful themes. It was fun~

Reach Out to the Truth and Be Your True Self

Many many thanks to all those who saw me at my table this year at Fanime~!

Even more thank to all those who went and bought my art~! You guys were awesome!

These two guys were one of the pieces that I was able to complete on time which still has me headslamming myself on my keyboard for being such a slowpoke with them... -A-

They were a set of Persona4 back to back bookmarks. So if you bought the first one on the top row, you would get the the first one on the bottom row on the other side~

Quite a number of people were pretty ecstatic about them, and a good number of others were asking if I was going to do others, like Persona3 and etc. The answer is YES, I really had fun drawing these mostly because the persona forms don't have many reference, so they were fun to draw.

Childhood

I remember when I was a kid, I would think anything that had a face was alive and wouldn't reveal themselves unless I was asleep or wasn't around. Toy Story pretty much personified mostly any kid's thoughts about their toys in the best way possible.

I made this for a collaboration a year or so ago, and I really liked how it turned out.

San Francisco JPop Summit 2011

Was looking through my stuff, and found this little piece that I submitted for San Francisco's 2011 JPop Summit last year. They were doing a contest for their street banners and it had to be Miku-themed and have something to do with San Francisco, so this is what I came up with. I made another street banner for Japantown's Annual Cherry Blossom Festival for an assignment a year or so before, so I used that same theme for this one.

Unfortunately, I didn't win, but I had fun making this. It made me refresh my vector skills and reminded me how long it takes to make vectors...

Lolis

 

Did for Salon de Luce's Japanese Cultural Event in Oakland, CA. It will be on display with a couple more of my pieces until March.

Preliminary design and color scheme. I give credit to my sister for helping with the lolita design. I love lolita and all, but it helped tons since she's actually a lolita now and owns several pieces to use for inspiration. Smacked my hands when I came up with stuff that wasn't part of the lolita style.

Alchemist

Made this back in October for Portfolio Prep.

The girl is my OC Ariane, who I made way back during my Illustration 1 class.

I've started to do more with her and her companions, so I hope I'll dish out something good~
