New Things Coming Up

So what do we see.
A new layout!
But just temporary, we, I try to come up with something more interesting and unique.

So, until Masaki and our mysterious new member have internet access again, Tee (scroll down and see her new entry!!) and me will ROG THE BLOG, I guess. ;)




















That's what I produced a few minutes ago.
Some unfinished, Benjamin-ish speckles of colour.
I know it's no good to copy some other artist that much,
but I just bought "Remember" recently and was totally blown away!
I realised that I so need to practise more.
And I was frustrated, why on earth are all the nice Skullcandy Lowrider Headphones only avaible in the States?!

Eh, well, people.
Stay tuned!

ta-daaaa

Tee is back!
With an old sketch (april 09)


I remember finally! The pw was so easy peacy ...sry xD
So I can spam weaaboo again with my posstsss ;P

So, time for me to contribute something to our beloved Blog. Though I can't stand that layout anymore, to be honest...

Very old:















Very new: (it's university sketch, lol)



















And you know what? .......I totally don't have time left, sorry xD;;;
If I ever start drawing again, you'll see something serious. If. Will. Yep.
*rushes away*

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:

http://hi.baidu.com/shidianf/blog/item/1fbf1f02055e36094afb5123.html

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

Greetings from China

The same as in Switzerland - art made during class.











Current project. I already have the lines on paper, but no traditional media, no scanner and only a low-quality cam. This is the result after one-hour CGing. Well, everyone has something he does when he's bored, right?





...is there anyone beside Franziska and me watching this blog? WHERE ARE MY FUCKING BLOGMATES???
;A; I'll start thinking about an own sketchblog...

Holiday sketches

I don't know why, but during my vacations in Norway I drew more than the two monthes before. Mostly uninteresting things, but I like these two ones:




















During the flight Zurich - Stockholm. It's Henke, if anyone remember him.



















And Yoko. I repainted the eyes about 10 times and it still doesn't work. I still lack basics, aaargh.
But it's different from my usual drawing style anyway.

Now some random things:





















Yes, I DO love "manga"nizing mascots. Flix (or was it Trix? Who cares) for European Cup in Switzerland. I've got some Fuwa-Sketches, but no time to scan.



















It was raining outside and there was a blank sheet of paper.









































Some WIPs from my last submission (Hoshi no Koe) on Animexx (http://datamexx.onlinewelten.com/himitsu/bd1bf0bdbe69a6ccd03dc7085b3565f3/48af1c8a/fanarts/13/82313/1345125.jpeg)
Take a close look on the clouds. And I was too lazy to color the bottom, shame on me.

I've started reading Eyeshield again. Fucking Awesome.
I can't wait for the next artbook! Much much love for the drawings, not so much love for
the plot. If Deimon win, it's all little too much Gary Stu. But I don't care, Murata's still the best.
By the way, I'm working on my "baby" again, means I'm trying to rewrite "Boardercross"...
it's hard, since I know exactly what I DON'T want but dont have clue what I DO want.

Eh well, I never want Weeaboo to die, that's why I keep posting and talking these useless things. xD"Uhm. I'll be staying in China the next term, but I'll still draw and post things here, so don't give up on us!

It's me again. I am SO SORRY. It is SO lame and.. uninteresting O,o"
I didn't have a lot of time too, because I am really busy right now.. Anyway, I appreciate, that our page has been visited over 500 times already. I am happy and proud about it, since this blog (and our drawings) are like children to me / to us!

So, a little sketch to say "thank you"- I know it's really cheap, but I guess better than nothing 8D (...I am NOT sure about that xD)

I just drew it (2nd reason) because I wanted to check my copics, AND how the character should look like.

Simon (the guy), and Vivie (his not - blood- related sister) from "Möwe".

huahuaaa.. now I told you already too much 8//D. But I guess, Simi is not going to look at that blog, so it should be okay.
(DONT TELL HER xD @Name.)

Anyway, thanks for all!
And thanks for Ming and Tee, for their admirable work!! Sankyuh~ ->heart<-

Uhm.

I drew them in my last arts lessons. So they're really old. The teacher wasn't there, we were allowed to leave, but I stayed with a few others, because I wanted to take this last chance.
















Quatro-real Rukia. Messed up her nose.

















For Mother's Day. Can you read it?


And this one is from today...
















...it's so crappy, that I feel thick. Since my exams I can't draw anymore...something's gotten wrong with me. And Masaki, you still haven't seen Saturn, have you? Are you ignoring it or what?

GO GO GADGET SHOUNEN DRAWING!

What's going on here...nobody posting and nobody commenting. Is everyone THAT busy? ;_;
So now I've got some Shounen stuff, ZOMG.












One Day I made a decision: To start drawing in Shounen-style. And this was the first sketch after taking that step. (Guess by whom I was inspired...)
That day (some time in...2004/5?) I was thick of not-knowing my own path and all the rest. So I just made this decision from one day to another. Kind of weird, and today, I would never do that. I just draw, what I think would show a part of myself, either it's shounen, shoujo or someting in between. Mmmhm, I noticed, that I have a very self-centered attitude, when it comes to drawing mangastories. Unlike Hina, I draw to make people happy, so I can feel happy myself, or e-eh, I can't explain it well. But she has my full respect, because she wants to draw things that make other people stronger. Very admirable.

















These are characters from a, rather Shounen-like, original story. It's about the heaven beneath our feet ;). Maybe I'll rewirte the story for the next German Shounenmanga compilation. (btw, today they finally arrived! It really felt amazing to see your own story in a book. And a little embarassing, because I had to think of all the people who read my shit, gaaah. Next time I'll do it MUCH better.)
Eh...how do you write "Nande"? "なんで"? Or should I say Nanda? Arr, I need someone to teach me proper Anime Japanese xD Ah yes. I LOVE skates. Beautiful animals.

And I'm talking a way too much, I'm sorry! But...I haven't been talking online for a week, so please, be merciful. And yes I'm finished. I've got EVEN MORE things I'd like to post, but first I'd like to hear some feedback to both entries, pleaaase ;o;

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!

Masaki

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??

Masaki

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.
(stolen from Maski, mwahaha...but these hearts are love *o*)
