In the Mood for Portraits

(Belated) Many thanks for 1000 hits! And we're heading to the 2000, even though there is about only one post per month...thanks for everone's support!













My schoolbooks and papers are full of Rainie-inspired heads. not. (the only one. come to think I never draw during classes.)
I actually have bangs in this shape right now (diagonal cut), but it doesn't fit with the rest, so I wear it as always, kuku (wtf, random information).














Ok, and this is the actual reason, why I'm posting.
Only 25 days till HSK and what is Ming doing?
She gets herself inspired by Benjamin/ Zhang Bin (YOU HAVE TO KNOW THIS GUY), and spends the whole afternoon (aka 4 hours) drawing this 500x500 piece of pixels.
It's still far beyond Benjamins gorgeous works, but I learned quite a lot during the process.
Actually I'm astonished, that it turned out so well, since I haven't practised at all. (It must be the food/air/water/whateverelse here...ZOMG)

What do you think?
Some parts of the face are still at the wrong place,
and mistakes with light/shadow, as always...
hopefully I can get rid of these someday.
I really should use more appropriate references next time.
But after this I'm quite on fire, from now one there will be more from my side.
Especially when I need to relax from all the grammar and characters I have to learn...

Some offtopic...I'm getting back to my old Otaku-self lately and this means a grown need for...Cosplay! This is what I like to share for the moment:

From there you can also get around the Chinese Cosplay Community.
(when you're smart ;) )
Anyway, my opinion about CCC? I'll blog about that in my personal blog, someday~
...why is there more text than art in my post again?........................................

Masaki's BACK.

Hey!! I'm SO sorry, but I couldn't draw (and also post) for long time. I feel bad about that X,x sorry guys.

I'd like to start with that picture here..
I messed up with the coloration (face), that's why
I don't plan on bringing it on mexx. And I guess I won't finish it also.
Who the hell is it?
It's an own Character, so you won't know her. She's taking a hot spring, and talks to a bug.
(haha.)
I really like her, I drew her the first time.. maybe 6 or 7 years ago. I DONT want to tell you, how she looked like at that time xD.
Maybe I'll finish it, sooner or later. But right now, I don't plan to do so.

Oh. Usually I HATE Catgirls/boys. (Even she's NOT a cat..)
Kinda soft expression. Maybe it's in the end of the story..?

The next picture - I guess- you already know from Mexx. I still haven't finished my coloration. It takes me too long time.. But, I really think, that I like Zelda more and more.
I loved it when I was a kid, even I never played it. ( I just watched my brothers, they never let me play properly xD

When I visited a friend, he was playing Zelda for Wii. That was so AWESOME. I felt like I HAD to play too. I love that game. I love the music and the characters.
And TADAH!
I drew Link. Because I like him very much. (But not in that strange Dwarf-drawing-style. Buh.)

I'm still not finished as you can see - but anyway I love it.
It took me nearly 17 hours until now. I spent my whole Sunday, just for the outlines. My arm hurt like hell.

The second one was drawn in train. Oh yeah, I hate to draw horses, because I DONT know how to do it.
But it's okay, it doesn't look like donkys anymore.

I put away the text - I don't like it, if anyone can read my text before I finished the page. I dunno why, but.. i feel strange.

Sorry for the low quality. Maybe you should klick it, to get a bigger picture.

My computer is a little bit strange, in the moment I can't save high quality pictures. (DONT ASK. =,=" maybe again a virus...?)

.... otherwise I destroyed our scanner. Yeah xD.

(Rai)

I like that page. But his head is TOO big - I realized it right now.

I was thinking about, how to draw his left arm. Maybe, I will draw it on the left side of this picture.

Ah. When I see his head I get angry again. Why is it always TOO big??

;_;"

Unfortunately you can't see my speedlines.
Without the lines, it surely looks strange..

It's again a page of my story "Rai". I should draw it =_=" but I think its too large to do it by myself.

OH. I simply ADORE this page. Please look at the bigger version.
Of course, Takumi's face (sorry Bao!) is strange, so I will erase it soon. But. I . Love. her. I never drew it so fast and with that amout of fun!

It's a special scene in my manga. I guess.

I really love it and I think, I could draw it.... maybe..

a little bit like the version I dreamed of.

Just Takumi's pose... Strange. I don't know what to do.
And his clothes. Gah.

His face's bad, but the last panel - its good I think.

Okay this is the last one. Tomorrow I have to go to work again, so I wont have a lot of time to draw anymore.

Hope you liked it anyway!

Huh. Insane.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHIN! *Heart.

Loves you xD

Masaki
