Tears And Teeths

Hey, it's me again!
I am really really ill that time - I really had plenty of time to draw, but. . . I slept. I slept over 35 hours!

To say sorry, I drew 3 new sketches (in a really short amount of time, maybe 20 minutes alltogether) and I'll upload something old.. err... yeah, you'll see.

First, the older one.. is from D.Gray-man.

I guess, you have to click to enlarge it, it's hard to identificate, right xD?
The title of it is simple:

Wall.

And I really like that title. I think I don't have to say more. That scene's not from the Manga or Anime. I even forgot WHY the hell I drew that and what inspiration I had. It's just.. Every time when I see it, I have one sentence in my in my head: "Why can't I reach you..?"

For some reason, I think it's full of emotion, that's why I want to show it also, since the next two drawings are "emotion-sketches" too.
The next one is sad too - I wanted just to draw something with despair. So, I'll tell you what i've learned with that pictures xD. Like every Shounen drawer - Speedlines.

DESPAIR
I guess, it would look pretty good, if there were speedlines in the background in that : \\\\\ direction. But, anyway, it's just sketch.

But I like how it is. Of course, the ear is pretty wrong (looks like an ape.. xDDD), but I don't care in that point- I just wanted to find points to actually DRAW despair. It's not only tears, sad eyebrows and eventually strange blush.
In this version, I didn't draw it (but you can see it on the later version) that I even drew snot. It doesn't look that bad xD. Erm. I think it's important, that every single part of the face and body SHOWS what's happening. Not only the eyebrows, even the hair. The hair is going slightly "upward", as if the person is going to tumble. The shoulders are going upward too, because it looks like, she's screaming like hell - so she needs a lot of air in her lungs. About the tongue I am not sure.. Maybe I should draw that different..


HATE
That one.. haha. I just uploaded it, because I liked the corner of his mouth xD That's all.
And to be honest, I can't really remember, what I wanted to try out in that picture. I guess its his mouth. It only can be his mouth xD.

Of course I like his expression too but.. he's just psychopathic xD.











And the last one:
Uncle Bapo ;_;
......
Okay, that character exists now since..30 minutes, but I already like him. WTF.
And he is THAT easy to draw! I am surprised by myself!

A lot of people say, that he is a spinner.
Sometimes, I am thinking the same...
But the boundaries between a "spinner", a "dreamer" and a "genius" are.. really close..
Haha xD I only wanted to draw his face, then I got tired. His legs look like legs of the "one piece" Mangaka Eiichiro Oda xDDD But I guess, I won't change it - .... because I like it kinda..
haha xDDD

Okay okay, I should go now, it's really late. And I am still-- Ill. (RHYME *_*)

That was Weeaboo's 15th post now, whohow!
See ya!

Did I say Shounen?

Hmm, ok, this time something in between.


















Tami has given me a wonderful illustration (under "Bao" - "Gifts")
Ichigo turned out weird, but I've never been able to draw him. It looks really messy, but it took me "only" about half an hour, so this isn't bad...for me xD" *thinks of all the hundreds of people who are faster AND better* First time I drew Chadooou, lol.

Then some fanart of "Baccano!" (more about the Anime here [German])


























Drawn in German lesson. Oh my German teacher is a real monster. One of my classmates got suspended till Spring Break at the end of April, because she wanted to show a little bit of her non-existent autority. AND I'D LOVE TO GET SUSPENDED TOO. Anyway, sorry for this Spam-Entry D:

Something you've never expected.

Animexx, the German Manga/Anime-community is still down, so I switched my priorities. I didn't came to draw a lot the last few days. Rather NOTHING. The following sketch of Rukia from Bleach is about two weeks old, drawn in German lessons. (they're so boring and unnecessary)










Some other stlye. As an explanation, I wanted to draw a realistic eye, but endet up with drawing Rukia's haircut...and all the rest. Yep.



















WHAT THE HELL IS THAT, IS WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.

Fanart of , "Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne" by big-sparkle-shoujo-eyes-#1-mangaka Arina Tanemura. I must have been around 11 years old, when I watched the first episode. And I have to admit it - I really liked it xD It suited a young girl like me perfectly. But I'm not a young stupid girl anymore, haha. But lately, I had a kind of "nostalgic flashback". I looked for old Anime songs and so on. And just at that time, a friend of my mother's gave me a present: Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne Vol. 5. (no idea, why she got THAT idea 8D) After reading it again, I read all the rest online in one. And I had an enourmous motivion to draw some fanart. I rememberd myself cracking down from just COPYING an illustration by Tanemura-san.

But now you see, they look really different, but like my personal style. (I mean, I hope so) I tried to let them look more adult...or realistic, whatever. Chiaki is fail, unfortunately xD And yes, I also tried to imitate the famous Tanemura-eye xD It's harder than it looks like!



















I'm content with the lines. Even though some parts of her body are really wrong. Didn't pay attention to that. But as I said, the lines turned out comparatively well, that's why I'm gonna color it.

Hmm, that's all. Wanted to draw some more Campus Lagann, but no time. D:
This weekend is full of events. Hinas birthday, Leipzig book fair (Arrr, I get teary-eyed, when I think of last year) and not to forget, Tee is having her last exams! And she can't afford to miss a second time, that's why I wish her all the best! >w< Hopefully, she'll be able to post something after them. ;_; And I myself will be stucked in my room and will be trying to save my grades in economics. 8D Raaaah.

Last words: heh, you really didn't expect that, RIGHT? xD
Lastest words: NO I DO NOT READ ARINA TANEMURA ANYMORE.

Let's save the WORLD!


... Wenns weiter nix is û,û...




Hey, it's me again! Like I said, Bao inspires me all the time, that's why also I wanted to post a "making of" .
(Its worth to enlarge all the pictures..!)


First: That picture is strange.. It was 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning, and I just got the feeling: I HAVE to draw something. And that time I wanted to create characters, who fits in a shounen-manga. And- characters no one would like, because they were just.. rubbish.


Typical manga schema:

One guy, the hero, who is actually a loser, a cold guy (who's usually paired with an other hot guy in the eyes of "boys love"-fans (HAHA, but it CANT happen, because the main character is NOT cute at all xD!! Strike.)), a girl who is in love with someone of them and children.
And of course, the princess they have to save. Okay, let's just start with the story. I guess, I will continue to draw some scenes of that story, because ist SO stupid that I started to like it.



[Please click to enlarge! It doesn't work on all pictures, so I post the link too..] http://666kb.com/i/awsainomrl83eta2w.jpg

It's the story of the main character Inoue Seiichiro.
Seiichiro is a real loser. In school, no one knows he is there, because they never realise that there actually IS a student sitting on his chair. Anti-hero.

Maybe it's his fault, because he is sleeping all the time, and anybody can hear a sound of him.
Anyway, one time, because he was bitten by a teddy-bear (..hä?), he got a magical "Puppet-hand". But - that hand can't do anything useful at now.. okay, one strange thing happened sometimes but - it's not interesting - for now.

Picture Note:
I really like the picture like that. I didn't plan anything and just started, first was Seiichiro an agent in the "ballet-mafia" (DONT ASK xD), later he was a magical girl. (GIRL??).
Anyway. I got started with coloring in Seiichiros face. Usually it's the first step I take.


Kamimura Keisuke, that's the name of that cool guy on the right. Everyone loves him, of course, because he is (like in every Manga) a いけめん - ( I don't think you understand that xD), a type of guy usually manga freaks say "aw, he's hot!!".
He doesn't like to talk to people like Seiichiro, and of course, he never does like everyone. Bunch of girls are after him day by day, and he just gets really pissed of. But of course- he is the hot guy, the cold guy- he's never complaining about that, because he is just- to cool.

Picture note:

Usually I don't care about the order, what I am coloring and what not. (Oh my, I am sorry for my bad english X_x)
So, before I started with Keisuke's Hair (of course, he has beautiful, shining hair..), I colored the little boy's skin, and Seiichiros trousers. The little guy acutally HAS a name, but nobody knows him. That's why they gave him the name "Doro Moyashi" what actualy means "Mud beansprout". Why? I'll tell you later.


The whole story actually starts with him. He has a little brother, whose birthday is soon..

One day, in special toy shops, they present new "Keyring pendants" who look like balls with rabbit ears. No one wanted to buy them, because they were just childish. So the whole selling was a flop. But Keisukes brother, who WAS childish, wanted Keisuke to buy one for him, so he went to the shop.

However, HOW could he know, that since he stepped with his foot into that shop, his whole life would change?

In the same time, he put the money on the cash desk, 3 other people did that in other shops on the same time.
Seiichiro, because he is one of the only one Idiots who thought, that ugly keyring pendants (who are called Usagalls, between USAGI and BALLS (pronounce: Usagolls)) were pretty cool.



Picture note:


I really like his haircoloration. Of course, it looks really different from the first hair color i gave him right? That's my way of coloring.. haha


http://666kb.com/i/awsajtjr3jnp9daa0.jpg
the third person who bought that keyring pendant was a little boy, who really likes thins, no one likes. For example, he has a lot of fetish: Worms, slugs, leech..

And a girl who just like pink things - she saw one single keyring pendant who had her favorite color and bought it. But nobody of them could know what's gonna happen, but they were chosen as "the knights of the toy world" (was für ne Ehre 8D)

The first days were really normal, until one of the Unagalls, Seiichiro's one, started to move by itsself. Of course, he didn't realize it, because he was just sleeping. Keisuke still had his Usagall, because his little brother's birthday was the day after tomorrow, and he didn't want to give it to him earlier, just to annoy him.) But after school, when he bumped into Keisuke (who had the same Usagall), the whole story was about to begin.

Seiichiros Usagall got a mouth, and a long chain shoot out of it. One part of the chain caught Seiichiros wrist, the other end Keisukes neck....


Picture note:

I decided to color Seiichiros hair green. Why? I really dunno. It's just - I like green xD. Also his eyes, because red was definately TOO cool. And I colored Keisukes eyes already blue. Yellow also, waaay too cool, that's why I took green. I really like Keisukes Usagall too. It fits kinda xD (Ah, yes, the red thing are eyebrows!) Still there aren't enough shadows in his face and hair. (And also: he doesn't have brilliance in his hair. Because.. he is uncool. haha xD) I like his mouth. NO, I love it.

It's fun, but the chain cannot be destroyed. The hot guy has to be with the loser - it wouldn't be that hard, if HE wasn't the one who had it around his neck...!! Of course, he can't go to school like this, so he managed to kidnap Seiichiro to his own home.


Seiichiro: ".. Mr. Cool =___=?"
Keisuke: ".. WHAT =_____=!?"
Seiichiro: "..... ....... i have to go to toilet."
Keisuke: "DECLINED."



But, of course, that's only the first story - the real story begins, when "Hina" (I am sorryyy but the meaning of Hina is Puppet, right?? xD), the puppet princess calls for help. When the red moon is shining, the destiny cannot be stopped anymore..

Now, the four found together and they realized, that they have an ally more than thought: A golden rat with red glasses also had been chosen (I DONT know why.), but hey, why not? There are gold hamsters too, why not gold rats? xD



The Girl, Yamada Chie, Kamimura Keisuke, Inoue Seiichiro and "Doro Moyashi" - and that rat - had to go to the world of puppets and fight against the puppet-destroyers. The Usagall of everyone came to live, everyone had an own character, and the appearance started to resemble their owner... (I really love Keisuke's one. His name is Blue. xD Wt..)

Picture note:



A big jump!! I already started with Hina-Hime, and I tried to combine strange colours, pink blue and green together. But in the end I realized, that it's really similar to Niah from TTGL. Arh?



Because Hina had a lot of green color, I didnt want to bring more green colour into my picture, so I took brown for Seiichiros school uniform..
Hinas tears are red. Its NOT blood. Why I chose that color.. I don't know either xD But If you say thats "illogical" then please - show me a crying puppet and its tears xD.


http://666kb.com/i/awsaks6rm730g7h3c.jpg

A long travel begins, with a lot of problems. A main character who actually doesn't want to fight, Keisuke who is always bawling out the others, because he has that thing around his neck. The only reason, why he joined the group, is because he didn't have any other choice.

How Moyashi joined the group: Nobody knows. He just was there, and he never spoke, just ate their food. But he had a personal Usagall too, so they thought him as an ally.
By the way, his slug is blind. If it could, it would see that its house is not a slug house but a piece of pink shit. (WTF.)

But first some explanation: The chain is made of the puppet princesses hair (That explains the colours of it) and cannot be destroyed, until the princess releases both.

The enemies are old puppets who are controlled by puppet-destroyers. The only thing to stop them is - giving love. Giving them love manages to paralyze them, and after they have to be toched by a magical puppet- hand. Of course, Seiichiro is THE MAN!
But.. He is so unpopular, that even HIS love cannot manage to paralyze them. And the puppets don't like girls, so even Chie cannot do anything. And Moyashi is just too disgusting with his skullhead and his slimy fingers.
..
"No, NEVER", he bawled - but he had no choice. To fight against the puppets, Keisuke has to go on the battlefield and hug the enraged puppets! And after, Seiichiro finishes his job. It really starts to look like Seiichiro was cool, and Keisuke not. xD.

Picture note:

And again a big jump! I finished the princess with her tic-tac-toe-face, and I finally like the colors. And Moyashi got some colors too. He is not really NORMAL that kid, that's why I gave him red eyes.. He looks so crazy, I love him xD. I also decided how to color the sky, because I never used yellow until now. But, the main problem was the red moon, what to do?..
(oh, and the fangirls xD)


Of course, "friendship" is a really big part of that story. Because, friendship is a big fail here.

Everyone of them can't stand each other, but they have to save the world. Not bad!
I thought about things like:

Puppet Boss: HAHA! You'll NEVER beat me. For that, your bonds of friendship are NOT enough.
(*Keisuke kicks Seiichiros ass*)
Boss: ONLY strong bonds like friendship can destroy me, harr harr!
Keisuke: 8D. Ya know, old man. Friendship can be broken..
Seiichiro: .... But NOT THAT SHITTY CHAIN 8DDDD Thats MORE bond than we need! *kicks Keisuke forward to the boss*
Keisuke: .. LOVE ATTACK! =_____=!! *BIG HUG*
Boss: NO, THATS NOT POSSIBLEEEEEE...!! *GARGEL*

xD oh gott, how stupid xD.

Picture note:

I started to color the heaven and Chie's uniform. And I drew a lot again, things like Seiichiros vest and so on. The green Usagall is Seiichiros. I made the hairstyle similar to Kamina. WTF. xD And now, you can see the pink shit *_*.




Almost finished! But.. I think the Idea is really lame xD. I can't write it, like I had it in my head, I am sorry ;_;"" I will draw alot to show you, how they fight against the puppet, hug them, how their Usagalls are and so on..



Picture note:

Almost finished, last step!!
I really like the clouds and so on, and I love the usagalls. But my favorite is still the goldrat- Oh, I forgot to tell you why that rat has a Usagall right?
Someone bought it, but after that, everyone made fun out of that poor guy. So he threw it away, and the rat got it, the same second like the others bought their Usagall.
I still like Keisuke..
AW, I love them all, because they are SO stupid. I guess there is no happy end. Oh, and like I said - they have to save the world,... look on their feet, I love it *_*. The world, tadah!!



FINISHED! Haha, I love it kinda.
A lot of colors I used, and I did all with normal copy-paper xD
Nevertheless, I am proud.
Oh, and don't think anything about the proportions. I didn't care, because its just fun..
AH and I used the first time, Mings Tippex ;_; thank you very much!!
















Klick here for the big version!! (es LOHNT sich)






























So das wars. Btw Ming.. beim TTGL Lied "Happily ever after", wenn ich den anfang höre, krieg ich immer total das Herzklopfen und weiss nicht was ich tun kann X_X ich werd immer so aufgeregt!! ARH woran lieg das??

Whole bunch of women


[CLICK TO ENLARGE THE IMAGES!]
As I promised, Originals!


























I drew this one on the flight from Zurich to Tokyo. I love flying, I love watching the sky and the clouds, I love feeling the wind blowing through my hair. Her extremities are too long...I didn't pay attention to that. AND her neck is too thick, my old all-time-mistake. D:"































This one has to do with my holidays as well. I was really inspired after walking around in Shibuya and Shinjuku. It's funny, most girls in Japan wear skirts all the time, while you see that very rarely in Switzerland or in the West in general. Must have something to do with school uniforms. (But the English don't were skirts as well...hmm.)
Legs are a big short, but I just had to draw the shoes, and there wasn't much space left xD""
I've seen those shoes in Shinjuku ;_; Oh if I just had the opporutnity to go shopping there...I would be run out of money right now. xD I added a bit gothic style.



















Her jacket is inspired by this piece by John Galliano and Christian Dior from 1997. Very interesting cut. I really love fashion, mmmhm, if you only could make money with it for sure... ;_;

This one was made in history lessons:






















I should draw something Shounen/ more dynamic for the next time...but I'll be very thankful for every opinion on this.

Gurren Lagann Challenge #3





Hah ;_;" When I saw Bao's/Ming's drawings, I HAD to draw too. She inspires me, everytime!! So, here is the next part of our challenge!

I am sorry for that stupid quality again. I wish I had at least a scanner here..

Just klick on the picture, to see full view!
If you are not able to read my ugly handwriting: here again!

(Challenge #2 last sentence: Kamina: "Nanii...?? Even Yoko ;O;? )

Yoko: DON'T COMPLAIN.
I am NOT the one who just died and amandoned everyone.

Kamina: .. Hä..? //..Yoko..??!//

Yoko: .. RIGHT?!! *tremble*

Kamina: ...Y-y..yoko..???

Simon: ..... o_o.
Nia: ^_^?


I LOVE Nia. Because sometimes, she is really stupid - but damn cute!
(and if you write "NIAH", it's like "HINA"! Tadaaa! (...random. 8D))




And again. Gurren Lagann (sorry?) but the next drawing after THAT will be own character- I swear!! (...better not.. xD)



And to be honest- I didn't try to draw correctly. This time I just ignored all rules and just started to try around.
I like Yoko xDDD.
I try to give all Shichirigahama Uniforms. Of course, not the true ones, because I want Yoko to wear her long socks and so on.
As you can see, Kamina, Simon and Nia (!!) aren't that planned right now. Let's see how they end up later!

Yoko and Kamina are Senpai with the blue shoes (for Sannensei- means 3rd grade)
And Simon and Nia are ichinensei, first grade. I will try to finish it that week ^^
