Fanart/Original Works By Me~

[kenjoh_miyabi]

That's not short!! It can get much shorter than that~ XD When I was studying in Japan last winter my classmates helped me shorten my skirt.. ^^;; We did a bit of cutting and folded the rest in. XD It was really.. ermmm... funny?? :P

Yeah, thanks! ^^
I'm afraid the bag looks sorta flat, though.. like there's nothing it it.. LOL~

[Anime_Empress]

lol I still love short skirts. The little pleated ones. ^_^ I wore little shorts under my skirt. No, skirts can get ALOT shorter, but thats the shortest I've gone. =P

I thought the bag looked great!

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Yeah, me too. ^^
But I don't always wear tights..
oh, Merry Christmas, btw! ^^ Working on a special Christmas-themed drawing for now..

[Anime_Empress]

Merry Christmas!! ^-^

MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS PIC!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS SO TOTALLY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Really??
*^__^* That's cool, then.

Sorry I haven't been posting for some time... I've been helping out with all this charity work and stuff ever since the tsunami struck. >.< Came close to my area - I'm really glad I don't live on the coast. My sincerest condolences to those whose relatives' or loved ones' lives were lost in the recent earthquake and the tidal waves that followed.

Here's something to cheer you guys up. I've been studying Fujii Mihona's art for awhile now (in case you're not familiar with her name, she's the author of GALS!) as well as the clothes in KERA (a Japanese magazine featuring Harajuku Street Snaps) and I've been getting loads of inspiration to dress my characters up in Harajuku street clothes. Still trying to get the hang of all the folds and layers and stuff, but I'm on my way! :D

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/spotgal.jpg
Skinny because Mihona-sensei draws her girls that way. I thought this girl looked okay though, as skinny as she is. ^^ I wanted to add screentones, but I ran out of 'em.. =___=

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/streetgal.jpg
Okay, I sort of like the shirt because I made the star actually follow the folds. Yay. And I'm getting the shoulders to look more... well, proportionate! Been working on them ever since AE pointed them out. ^^

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/fruits-mcover.jpg
Yay. Heard of FRUiTS? It's a magazine like KERA. Yep. Hahahahah I put the "featuring Kenjoh Miyabi" there because I needed something to fill up the empty space and well.. it serves as something like a copyright, anyway. Eheheheh. If I do start my own line, I'll probably give it some lame name that'll sound fitting in Japan like The Suzuki Drive or Lemon Range. And yes, The SD was half-inspired by SM's nickname. XD XD

[Suzuki Method]

Ohhhhhhhhhh very nice Kenjoh :) Gwen Stefani has a new song out about the Harajuku girls :) I like the skirts, I saw a skirt by BCBG that was silk chiffon it flowed so nice, the price was.... er... too much, but I LOVE em!!!

[Foofaraw]

Wow, I love all their clothing. It's very original. Keep it up! :)

[Anime_Empress]

I like the first one 'specialy. I think it's cause the outfit looks really good on a girl that skinny. ^_^ If anyone complains you can go "BAH! (well not really 'bah') She's really not that skinny, it's just the outfit makes her look real skinny!! XP hehehe.

[shin_gyokakuran]

so you're a fan of hyde ne!? hwehehehehehehe
nicely done Miyabi-san! sugoi!

[Gejutsuka]

Crisp, clean, and excellent. I love the almost fashion draft quality. Truly inspiring.

[kenjoh_miyabi]

@ SM, yep, I've heard it. ^^ I didn't really like it, but it keeps painfully forcing itself into my head anyway. Glad you liked the art!! :D Ooh, BCBG. Now I so want my credit card... =3 Then I can graduate from Zara and Kookai to like, Dior or something! Hahahahahah.

@ Foofaraw, thanks! ^^ Just KERA taking its toll on me~ :P

@ AE, what I'd give to be that skinny too~~ LOL~ XD XD eheheh planning to colour the magazine, but still not sure what colour schemes I should dapple in.

@ Shin, HYDE or Hide? XD Ah doesn't matter I like both. :P Domo arigato! ^^

@ Gejutsuka, aw, that's really nice of you! *bows* Thank you. The New Year's just round the corner. Would you like a red packet? :P


Now all I need to do is practice s'more and convince my parents that I should be in Tokyo designing for the kids on the street. XD XD

[Suzuki Method]

Ohhhh, you like Dior too, a girl after my own heart!!! Dolce's City line is also one of my favorites! I broke my Dior subglasses the other day *sob* Credit cards are evil, hah I have so many clothes they litter my room XP

Makes me want to do some fashion design, keep em comin kiddo, you're da bomb!

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Yay. We should design together! :D

Blehhhh sorry I haven't updated AAAAAAAAGES~ I'm uber busy these days, I've got my O Levels this year and to top it off I'm also going to be taking SATs this year so I can study in America or Canada next year. >_< Very, very sorry. I'll try and find some time to.. pick up my carbons and draw.

[Anime Gurl 24_7]

Cool designs kenjoh, very cool! :spin:

[kenjoh_miyabi]

FINALLY!! XD Updates.

Not having drawn in a very long time has stiffened my drawing hand~ >_<

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/lemonscarf.jpg
Yes. I don't like her eyes. They turn up too much. I was lazy to erase them, though coz if I did I'd have to work at making them level again... =___=;; And as usual, I drew this just before bedtime :D



http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/champagne.jpg
Yes!
Recently all my drawings have been model-based... Hahahah, like I'm campaigning for myself. Maybe I should venture into fashion. (What a far cry from engineering. o.O;; ) Personally.. I like this picture, mainly because it's different from most of what I've drawn so far. ^^

[Anime_Empress]

Nyah! Pretty Miyabi! ^_^ I love the outfit of the first one. The second one's neck looks a little funny, but I can't place it. Still looks great though! ^_^

[LadyAkuma]

Yay, new stuff. I like the first one, but the left eye is smaller than the other. I love the second one.

[shindou501]

it seems more and more great japanimation artists are appearing around here everyday, keep up the great work. all of it is very good,

[Suzuki Method]

Heh Kenjoh, I sense you'll become a great Fashion Designer :) Savannah College of Art and Design has a really good Fashion program

[Anime_Empress]

Whaa!! Yeah, go there! XP (I'm looking into it myself) lol

[LadyAkuma]

I used to want to go into fashion design but I suck at making clothes. I'm not even kidding. You could be a great one though, that is if you don't like engineering. XD

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Hey, thanks a lot, everyone! :D
Glad you all liked the art~ (well, more or less :P )

Hahahah I'm actually planning to do engineering. ^^ I've ruled fashion design out of my choice of career(s). ^^;; So far I've applied to MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, CIT, Berkeley and Toronto. Bleargh. I'm going to graduate a little early~ :P

I am seriously in need of MORE FREE TIME!!!

[Foofaraw]

I am seriously in need of MORE FREE TIME!!!

Really? I'm the other way around. Sometimes I'm so bored I number the bricks in the wall. :lol:

Anyway, great job Kenjoh! Yes, the model does look very nice. ^__^
You hardly ever update though. ;-;

[kenjoh_miyabi]

*sniff*
I know. Not enough time to get down and draw something serious. All I get these days from my own hands are crap doodles and stuff.

[shindou501]

*sniff*
I know. Not enough time to get down and draw something serious. All I get these days from my own hands are crap doodles and stuff.

even if they are doodles, they are still great. you are one of the best artists on AN probly THE best, and waiting for some of the artists on here as good as you is worth the wait,

[Sagess]

Your artwork is incredible. I can hardly believe my eyes.

Your characters are so well traced, the clothes are very fashionable.

I stand by what I said earlier.
:thumbsup:
-bump-

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Thanks a lot, Sagess and Shindou! ^^ You guys are great sources of encouragement. :)


Right. It's time for another update (finally~). I've been giving in to lethargy lately. And it's been showing. XD
Like so.

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/1-1-2.jpg

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/1-1-3.jpg

*sigh* Told you so.

[Suzuki Method]

hahah sheesh you're freakin Amazing Kenjoh :D

[ChibiToaster]

AAAAH! Subarashii desu ne. Demo, doshite nihongo ni kakimashita ka?

I think you could use some more black and shadow in your pages, though. Also, the backgrounds are still a bit scarce and ambiguous. I don't know if they're in a hospital or a home.

[shindou501]

love the new strip, i cant read japanese buy by the looks of it the art in your strips are great! keep up the wonderfull work^_^

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Glad you like it, SM. ^^

@ Toaster, looks more original that way~ :P Mmmmm hospital or home? Neither, actually. XD They're in the company HQ. Guess it's hard to tell because this is just one page out of the unfinished oneshot. ^^;;

@ shindou, thanks so much!! You must have some cookies *^^*

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Oof. FINALLY. ^^;;
I've been reading Landreaall by Ogaki Chika and her style's somewhat... well, influential... in a good/nice way. I like her strokes very much... the way she draws her characters with such simplicity, without any excessive detailing. ^_^ Here's how her style has been infused into my hand...

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/co.jpg


I decided to do a more manic looking guy... unfortunately, his eyes didn't turn out the way they should've. I drew half of this lying down and the other half in the car on the way back from my grandparents' place, so do forgive the messiness. :P

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/ryuu.jpg

[Caska's Knight]

Awesome art kenjoh. Your characters look so natural in there poses. Mine tend to come out stiff. Anyway, keep up the good work.

[Anime Gurl 24_7]

sheesh kenjoh, those are friggin ace! O.O

i give all ya art a 100/100 :thumbsup:

i congratulate u on ur art and that i must catch up.....*goes to the drawing board*

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Thanks, guys... *^.^*
I'll try my best to make time to draw... >__<

[SaiyanGuySSJ5]

o u draw reely good pix!!!! drow me dbz!!!!!

[kenjoh_miyabi]

T_T
I didn't think my thread would make it to the 4th page. ^^;;;
Anyway, here's something I did a couple of weeks back. Er, it looks strange now, but I'm in the middle of colouring it. It'll look much nicer, I promise! :D

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/sachiko-rii2b.jpg

[LadyAkuma]

Ugh, I can't hold in my love for your anime style! It's so cool and nostalgic! I love your work and I can't wait to see the last one colored. :D

[Foofaraw]

Weee! You updated! \(^^)/
I love them all! Especially this last one!

Ugh, I can't hold in my love for your anime style! It's so cool and nostalgic! I love your work and I can't wait to see the last one colored.

Me too! :heart:

[Suki]

The bottom left Picture's cheeck and face is too out of proportion of what the eyes are supposed to meet. The mouth also looks out of place. I suggest you fix that.
I think you should post un inked before you post some because the is no way you can fix that.....
Just a suggestion to help you fix up.

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Thanks a lot, everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been able to draw much lately... *sigh* LadyAkuma, yeah, I'm working on it. I'm just about half-done, so maybe a week more and it'll be posted up! ^^

[Touya]

Hmm, those are really nice. ^^ I like the Orphen one. It's really nice. Good job. :3

[LC3]

Nice layout!!

[shindou501]

great new piece^_^ i was wondering when you where going to update again lol, but none the less i like the new work.

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Heheh. Thanks a lot, everyone! :D I really appreciate it.

@ Suki, um, thanks again for that bit of... criticism? >_< I can't make every picture look perfect, you know. Oh well. I try.



Anyway, my friend's still in the middle of colouring my stuff... geez, she's taking an awfully long time~~ =___= In the meantime, here's something I drew up last night.. and it's a little.. well, dull because I haven't darkened the lines enough (see, stupid scanner again~ keeps lightening the dark lines... ). This time I'll colour this on my own.. hope it'll turn out nice.. ^^;;

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/metropolis.jpg

I am so, SO sorry for making the guy look so bloody retarded. He looks pretty sissified, actually.. and I don't know what came over me to draw that what-the-heck-is-that!? logo on his shirt. And the... er, beanie looks mighty strange too..... o.O =___= I guess I really am slipping. *shob* Eheh, I wasn't really paying much attention to details when I did this... anyway, I haven't inked it yet... But look, SM! The girl's wearing YSL!! :P

Yeah, you can see Miyavi's mouth up there in the corner. XD

[Malchiel]

Looks great. I love your char design. May be give more depth/volumes to the body of your chars though. Grt job making a number of ppl, gotta be tough.

ps. howcome almost everyone here draw so cleanly ><

[LadyAkuma]

Good work again. Don't worry so much about the dude. He looks fine and besides, you get major props for drawing that many people in one pic. O_O

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Hahahahah. I wanted it to be really congested (after all, I did name the pic "Metropolis")~ but I was lazy.. ^^;; Thanks a lot, Lady and Mal.. :D Gonna ink it tonight, and hopefully, get some colouring done... I suck at realism and backgrounds and stuff~ >_< (I tried to copy Mihona-sensei, author of GALS, but it didn't turn out...)

[Kagome101]

wow great job

[Onaa-Kenkaku]

So uhh...when can I buy this at stores :P

[shindou501]

great new pic as always lol ^_^ i hope i can see more of your work soon

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Thanks so much, Kagome and Onaa! ^_^ I'm glad you both liked my artwork. ^^ Heh, stores? Dunno. Find me a publisher to compile all this crap and I'll gladly co-operate. :P

Doumo, shindou-san~~ :)


http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/leggy.jpg
Another random doodle. Don't mind the Japanese words, roughly translated, they say : (right) "Ah! This character's name is Hoshimura Ako! She's a character from JOSHI NO KOKORO [ Heart of a Schoolgirl ] Looks kinda celeb-ish, eh?" (I accidentally typed a "ha" in the last sentence, so erm, don't bother about it... ^^;;

The one on the left says : "Yo~! I'm Miyabi! How do you like this art? Is it pretty? Ah, I accidentally cropped out her legs... ^^;; If you don't mind, do comment on this artwork! Kore kara yoroshiku onegai shimasu! Miyabi deshita!" (There's no exact translation for the last bit, but you know what it means... :P )

Eheheh. Anyway, yeah.. er, after looking her up and down, I now realise she's a tad too skinny... ^^;; But oh well. There are hefty people, and there are emaciated people. XD XD

[LC3]

Very cute.

[Anime_Empress]

Hai, hai! Very cute....She looks like you Miyabi! ^^

Nah...I just think the lower area of her legs look a little too skinny. I think her arms are fine though. Some girls have very small arms.

[SAB-CA]

Me Likes:) Looks like a good design sketch ^_^

[Khorell Nataz]

Agreed....very good stuff! Keep up the good work!

[Malchiel]

Thanks so much, Kagome and Onaa! ^_^ I'm glad you both liked my artwork. ^^ Heh, stores? Dunno. Find me a publisher to compile all this crap and I'll gladly co-operate. :P

^^ I don't think she's too skinny. If so, may be just a tad. Anyways most Asians back in Asia, not those ABCs here, who drink milk and eat cheese :P are somewhat skinny. I suspect it's something in those milk, I tell ya. It's saturated with growth hormone or something ><

Anyways I love it. It's cute and well done. Also very Japanese ^^ and yea I'm somewhat a fan of Japanese culture, may be just coz I don't really know what it's like.

I do have a slight suggestion though. Wouldn't it be better to make the outward corners of her eyes sharper? It's hard to describe it, but I think I like eyes that look like this better. See below... But uhm, yeah it's your art style and my preference. So just go on doing what you like

| <_\ /_> |

[kenjoh_miyabi]

@ LC, thanks~ ^_^

@ AE-chan, oooh she does? Really? :P *flattered* Wish I were as skinny as that. XD Then I'd fit into practically anything. XD XD

@ SAB & Khorell, thanks a lot! Glad you like the drawing. ;)

@ Mal, hahahah maybe. Loads of Chinese people are sorta lactose intolerant, though... like me. My body's starting to reject even low-fat milk. =___= And... @__@ Um~ trying to picture what you mean by sharper eyes... I'll try the next time round! :D

[Anime_Empress]

Miyabi, a girl has to have at least a little meat on her to fill some stuff out with shape. :lol: A skeleton never made a sliming dress flattering. Not that I've seen anyway. :lol:

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Ah, well, that's true too. XD XD
All my fat sorta accumulates around the upper arms and the thighs. Oh, and the boobs. =___= So I look like some walking fat toy with a skinny neck and bony forearms. Agh!

[Sasori_Kym]

*Is SO insanely jealous* ...Can I be your slave, too?

[Sumi-chan]

Ohhh, I've been spending one hour reading this thread. Pictures are really nice. :teehee: I wish I could have the pens that you use to draw. My dad wouldn't let me buy them....... The only things I draw with are pencils and normal ball-point pens. :'( Oh well, at least I have my watercolor and photoshop. ^_^ Update more pictures soon! :spin:

[kenjoh_miyabi]

@ Sasori, hmmm? *evil grin* Would you really?? *rubs hands together gleefully* XD

@ Sumi, wha~ one hour! That's an awfully long time!! Well... I have a few expensive utensils but I use them very sparingly. ^^;; There's no way I'm going to spend another 8 bucks on a 0.05 inker!! Sometimes I just use ball pens. I seem to make a lot LESS mistakes when I draw with a pen than when I start off with a pencil first. >_< Are you good with watercolours? PhotoShop? ^^ I could use some help with CGing... I'm terrible at that, if you've seen some of my very plain, CG-ed pictures... :P

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Wokies~! :D

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/hair-naomi.jpg

Do pardon the sudden obsession with drawing only faces. I was trying out new hairstyles... gets boring if I keep drawing the same hair, see? XD XD

[Anime_Empress]

Nah. ^^ You have a boatload of full body pics, so it's perfectly fine to suddenly draw faces. ..It's a nice little change. My favs are the very first, and the third. ^^

[LadyAkuma]

Nice hair styles. Heehee, I like the third one a lot, but they are all cool. Nothing wrong with faces, they are my favorite.

[shindou501]

wow, GREAT hairstyles as always, you truly have a great talent in drawing, keep up the great work^_^

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Wahahah. Looks like everyone's going for the long hair. :P
Thanks a lot! ^^ Sometimes I think to myself, why bother going for engineering when I can make loads of cash styling people's hair? XD XD Heheheh.. maybe I should get a part-time job at a hair salon or something. :D

[Anime Gurl 24_7]

Nice pics kenjoh! as always :P Cant wait to see more ^_^ :spin:

[Tinkerbell]

Yes, I agree. You are very good. If I could I'd post some of my drawings. But, I don't have a scanner. *frowns* But it's all good. I'd post them to get your opinion. Mine are kind-a simular to yours. But, not really. Cause I've only been drawing for about 4-5 years now. And I don't have as much experience as you. Being I'm about to be 15. But, I'll find some way to post them so you can see them, and I would like your opinion on them. Ok?

[Fobb]

i hate you. u make me jealous. lol. jp

i like it! its really well drawn. looks like a legitimate anime! u could start on a manga even!

[kenjoh_miyabi]

@ Tinkerbell, sure! :D Go ahead and post! ^^ I'm turning 16 this year, so I'm just a year older than you, not much of a difference, really. =P Thank you. I am flattered. :)

@ Fobby, thankyouverymuch. ^^ I have sort of started on something, as a matter of fact. Haven't had much time to devote to it, though. =____=



Yay! Finally. I drew this a week ago but I haven't been online lately (AUGH!!! TOO MUCH WORK!!!)... so here it is. Heh, skinny people. I like drawing skinny people. :P I have another piece of art to be uploaded (some sort of FRUiTS sketch again ^^) but I haven't got the time now, so my humblest apologies in advance.

http://home.doramail.com/blue_rebel/models.jpg

I am sorry for the... er, crappy clothes. I'm not good at all the haute couture stuff, so I stuck to ready-to-wear items. ^^;; Oh, and I am sorry for super-resizing it. The actual size is about 12" x 8". I like the short hair. I mean, the way it's clipped to the size. :P I don't know how I came up with it. LOL. I like this one! XD XD

[NinjaJJ]

WOW!!! Very very nice you gallery!!! ^_^

[Fuzzitsu]

OMG!!!
Your artwork is incredible!
I have ONE piece of artwork where I don't like throw up from looking at it, but yours are drool worthy!!!
Keep up the amazing work!!!

[LadyAkuma]

You're girls are so pretty. I like the newest sketch. :)

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Fuzz, lemme see? :D Thanks a lot, by the way. You too, LadyAkuma and Ninja. Really appreciate your comments. LOL, I did this pretty fast, actually, so I was quite pleased at how it turned out. Yep, I work best at night. ^_^ Somehow my drawings turn out sucky during the day.. ^^;;;

Anyway, here's that other drawing like I promised... (heh, yeah, En is part of my Chinese name and Grace is my first name. My friend Josephine inked the girl on the right, so you'll notice that the lines are a little darker than the rest of the drawing... ) If you think the clothes look somewhat familiar, check last month's edition of FRUiTS. ^_^


http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/streetsnap.jpg

[kenjoh_miyabi]

*bump* << see post right above this >>

(T_T) Don't you like it?

[Han]

Wow.. I am amazed by your drawings.
I have never seen drawings of people that look so... natural.

If I could request something, could you draw more of those pictures of heads you did... way back. The one with like 4 pictures of heads. More of those.... really really good.

[Suki]

Hm.. Sorry, but for some odd reason, you are just another artist to me. You art isn't as appealing to me anymore for some really odd reason. I used to look up to you, but it's wierd.
Sorry if I offended you :(
BTW, I like your drawing

[Anime_Empress]

Suki, theres no need to say that. 0~0

The girl on the right looks a little like she's leaning....but it's still well drawn. :D

:dance: for Miyabi!

And those outfits just pwn all! XD

[Malchiel]

Hm.. Sorry, but for some odd reason, you are just another artist to me. You art isn't as appealing to me anymore for some really odd reason. I used to look up to you, but it's wierd.
Sorry if I offended you :(
BTW, I like your drawing

Suki :) SHUT-UP

To quote it from another person:

C'mon, we don't need that kind of troll here. Save it for some other board where it's appreciated. Anime inspires creativity in people, and we appreciate folks who share it with us.

I've seen all your other posts, most of them are down right demeaning and offensive. I'm not so sure where to live but I really doubt that your kind of attitude is a sign of maturity anywhere in the world.

Yes, you can be blunt, and you can be critical, but telling another person that they're just "another artist" serves no purpose at ALL. If you've something useful to contribute do so, if not part of being an adult is learning when to shut up. Saying whatever you please just because the other person can't retaliate is very immature.

Oh and spare her the "sorry". You should know darn well that your post is offensive.
======================================== ==============

To Kenjoh :) ignore Suki. If you think he's an ignorant @$$hole, don't worry, you aren't alone. Unlike him, I'm sure you've got talent. You're drawing a lot better than I ever did at your age.

The last drawing looks good. It looks like you spent a lot of time drawing it. My only complain would be the girl on the right, her eyes aren't the same size.

I also have another suggestion for your shading. Don't be afraid, be confident. Use more texture in your work and higher contrast is always a good thing.

Keep it up Kenjoh.

[Boss]

Atleast were 100% sure it's Kenjoh's work. *wink*

[tsukijin]

this kid is not the only good artist around here!!! I demand that someone acknowledges that!!! :mad:

and to prove this I will show you a small sample of my work!!!(I would post more but I have problems with the freaking scanner!) but in the future I will destroy all hopes of anyone being the best artist in the AN forums!
THIS IS A DECLARATION OF WAR!!! :punch: :punch: :punch:

[Suki]

Part of being an adult is taking in critiques and responding to them.
It seems that you are the immature idiot that is just stuck up to other people just trying to gain their respect.
I have respect for Kenjoh. And she knows it.
I don't need 5 or 6 people in this topic just yelling at me just for making a comment. Maybe what i said was easily deciphed as me being a ignorant fool just making random comments trying to degrade others. But i didn't intend to insult or harm kenjoh. I was speaking my mind. I was wrong saying, "Just another artist." But, I just moved to this Country, USA, 7 years ago from Vietnam. My english idioms may not be too good, or i might have put some words in the wrong place accidentally insulting others.
I'm not trying to put myself above her. I was just merely speaking my mind and what i thought.

[lksadhfoiwaerua]

suki, part of the reason you were taken harshly is because your comments weren't constructive, it is also viewed as a negative comment towards the person rather than the art, weither it was intended to be so or not.

tsukijin, keep your art in your own thread unless it's particularly helpful to somebody.


....kids these days, I swear.

[Han]

*Brings bag loads of pictures*

.... ..... .... no war???!?!?

Gosh darn it

*Starts dragging bag back*

THIS IS A DECLARATION OF WAR!!! :punch: :punch: :punch:

Ur art is very good, you are a very good artist.
But this is Kenjohs thread.
Everyone knows that Kenjoh isnt the only good artist around here and on AN, if she was then her thread would be the only one surviving on here and the only one getting any feedback, but there are other threads that are doing well besides this one, everyone knows that, everyone know that there are other good artists around here.
There is no such thing as being the best artist.
If there was, everyone would be killing everyone else by saying that so and so's art is greater than someone elses.
Your a very good artist, and not the only one, neither is kenjoh.

[tsukijin]

:( I officially apologize for posting my art in your thread kenjoh...I didn't know that I wasn't supposed to do that. You really are a great artist, that's why I reacted the way I did after seeing your drawings. (they just make me so mad! :mad: )

as for the war comment...*lowers head in shameful disgrace* ...I just wanted to belong.
*cold breeze sweeps the room, and a long ackward silence follows*

[lksadhfoiwaerua]

I will come be your friend....since you like robot chicken.

[tsukijin]

:j Cool!!!

[Suki]

suki, part of the reason you were taken harshly is because your comments weren't constructive, it is also viewed as a negative comment towards the person rather than the art, weither it was intended to be so or not.

tsukijin, keep your art in your own thread unless it's particularly helpful to somebody.


....kids these days, I swear.
I'm not a kid.. I'm 20.

[Cless158]

Atleast were 100% sure it's Kenjoh's work. *wink*

ooooh.. cheap shot! :P

EDIT: Nice art btw, seemed rude to post without saying that.

[kenjoh_miyabi]

I have always got to reply to everyone personally, or it just doesn't feel right. ^^;;;


@ Han, well, thanks a lot! I'll draw more heads, if that's what you want. It'll help me in experimenting with new hairstyles and stuff too. It's about time I started drawing more guys. Bleargh. I suck at drawing guys!!! (T_T) They all turn out too pretty!!! *waaaaahh*

@ Suki, er, well, don't worry too much about it. If I were that offended I would probably have stopped posting up my art a long time ago... thanks for criticising me, though, it keeps me from getting any inflated egos. =P Just a note, though, before you start heavily criticising anyone, first assess yourself and your own abilities. I'm glad you like(d) the art, anyway. =)

@ Mal, it's okay. I'm not taking it to heart. Oh no, the eyes aren't the same size? Yeowch. >_< Yeah, that's what I hate about eyes. They're either not level, or one's smaller than the other. *sigh* LOL, but thanks for pointing that out!

@ AE-chan, eep. Hee hee. Thank you for being so nice about it. :P Sorry I haven't had time to visit your thread lately *bows* Gomen! Oh, but I liked your drawing of that fairy doll thing. Very cute!!! ^///^

@ Boss, ooh ouch. ^^;; Low blow. Is that a compliment? :D

@ tsuki, YEAH BRING IT ON!!!! GahahahaHhahahH! XD XD Your work pwns, man. I like it a lot!! Even if it was just a simple one-page thing you posted. It's very... nice!!! (Gee, I really should flip through the dictionary more often~) ^^

@ Cless, heh. Thank you.


Anybody want cookies and ice cream?? *passes the tray round*
I'll upload some stuff tonight... yeah, more heads, upon Han's request.. =P Sorry they're all girls. Nyuk nyuk. I've been practicing drawing guys recently, but not much luck. Gimme a bit of time, yeah?

[tsukijin]

"XD XD Your work pwns, man. I like it a lot!!"
-Miyabi

What does the first half of this sentence mean? :huh: ...especially the XD XD part(I'm not knowledgeable of these types of linguistic usage -_-; ).

"bring it on" :huh: ? Do you really want war?... :shifty:

[SAB-CA]

XD = The X represents narrow eyes, like these >.<

and the "D" is like the mouth of any other emote like =-D or ;-D.

I didn't used to know what the "XD" meant either, lol. There actually is a studio somewhere (online manga or art group or something) named "Studio XD", and that just confused me more, lol. "Xtreme Digital?"

[shin_gyokakuran]

Cool drawings Miyabi-san! ^_^

[LadyAkuma]

OMG I didn't comment on your last pic. I like the clothing a lot, I think I have said before that you're very good with fashion. Your lines are so nice too. Keep it up.

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Ahahahahah.. ^^;;
@ tsukijin, well, erm, just turn that expression 90 degrees clockwise and you'll see something familiar. The expression shows up constantly in a lot of anime, especially those genki-type ones. XD "see? there it is again!" :P War? Well, if you insist~~ lol~

@ Shin, hee hee, thanks a lot. Cookies?

@ Lady, thanks so much!! Yea, in a sense I'm glad I'm one of those people who draw with relatively clean lines. What pisses me off is when the lines get smudged.... aaaaaaa.... oh, the clothes? Agggrr... maybe I should go into fashion designing after all. Oh, no, wait. I could get a degree in mechatronics, and then build robots to model clothes. :P *arg. my head is so screwed. i'm not making much sense ^^;;; *


Anyway, here are those heads I promised. Er, sorry about how this turned out, I smudged the lines a lot, and, um, the hand looks... retarded. =___= Was just trying to experiment with new hairstyles, so the faces and clothes and everything are just... I don't know, fill-ins?

http://home.doramail.com/blue_rebel/heads2.jpg

[SAB-CA]

Well, I like the hair ^_^ So volume-y and stuff. I used to purposely smudge my works all the time in previous yearsbut lately... hmm. Do you ever put a piece of paper hunder your drawing hand to try and pervent smudging?

Ahhh well, anywho, that hand's not TOO bad :naughty: A great lil "oh, err, Hi!" type of wave coming from it, for that, I give it a return -"hey!"- wave! -_-;

[Anime_Empress]

The girl on the right, her hair looks so soft and fluffy...=.=

[shin_gyokakuran]

Cool drawing Miyabi-san! ^_^

de ja vu

this time without an "s" :lol: jk

[LadyAkuma]

Yeah, that hair is beautiful. I love the ponytail. Your hair has nice flow to it.

[Malchiel]

Beautiful, I wish shojo manga draw ppl the way you do... I might actually enjoy them...

[Han]

You have my undying love.
*muah*

Lovely drawings.

[Killua]

^^ Good job. Please visit my site too..if you want T_T..^_^'

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Eheh, thanks a lot, everyone. ^_^
Yeah, I'm into drawing hair with blunt ends now, so... they tend to end up looking bouncy and soft and volum-ised. XD XD
Oh, I'll go visit your site, Killua. :)

[tsukijin]

the lines are crisp and clear, yet soft and fluffy...Very good job. (this makes me mad!)

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Hahahah, I like that paradox. XD XD
Thanks. Still working on guys... urgghhhh... =___= have any of you read AIR GEAR? I'm trying to draw a guy that looks like Ikki, with his hair and all.. but it's NOT WORKING!!! *arrrrrrr*

[Han]

bump ... lets not lose this thread

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Yay. Am back. With some stuff that stupid Zorpia resized. Will look for another server to host my pictures soon since Doramail is being such an arse. +___+;; Oh well. Anyone miss me? :D (Yeah, sorry, I owe you guys an... no, a thousand apologies!!)

http://lrg.zorpia.com/0/691/4424139.4e460c.jpg http://lrg.zorpia.com/0/691/4424140.c66a4c.jpg

Pure pen work! Couldn't clean it up because it's... well, done purely in pen (yessssss, drawing in pen is actually a lot easier than pencil drawings!), so sorry about the uh, messiness.

Fanart of Ayaka and Miori (Aya & Mio, I call them) from the JPop girl group SweetS. :D Aya's legs are seriously long. I mean, in real life. So I made them long in the picture too! Hee hee. Um, the leg that's sticking out to the front is her... uh, right leg, and the one to the back is her left. Just so you get the idea. :P And I like Miori. My favourite SweetS member.

Didn't draw the other three because I couldn't get them to look right (and gave up after a few tries because I only like Mio and Aya. =P )

[Suikoden6880]

:O Those are super good. I love the skirts and the hair. Awesome pen work!!XD

[kanibal]

very nice.
extreamly clean for somthing done with just pen.

[godrifle]

I'd like to give you some critiques. I'm not going to go over small nitpicky details like the eyes for the middle chick not being on the same line, but some general advice to think about.

Just use a pencil. You need to have correct form in your drawings first, that's priority over pen. Let's take a look at the first girl to the left. She's.. smiling with her head turned 3/4ths to the left. Her arms just go straight down. Her feet are not level with the floor. If you're not going to correct any of this, just learn from it. This is a very challenging subject for myself, but you need to make your poses BELIEVABLE. For starters, take a look at the relation between a person's head and the rest of the body. Picture Miyavi sneaking through your bedroom. His torso would be arched low, but his head would not follow. No, it would oppose the torso, and lift high to be able to see. Now turn around. What's the first thing that moves? The head. If you turned around in your seat, your torso would follow the head. Of course, it's anatomically correct to turn JUST the head in any position... but just because it's anatomically correct, doesn't mean it's correct.

Now let's get back to Ayaka, the left one. She's talking to me. She's asking me "Oh Godrifle, WHY is my head turned this way? Why am I winking at you? If I was winking at you, wouldn't my body be in an excited or seductive pose? No, I'm just walking! Help me!"

When my characters start talking to me, I go crazy.

Draw center lines. If I had a globe on me, I'd tell you to draw a line straight down from North to South pole. And the equator. This should help with the eyes. Note the logo on her shirt. If you drew a center line from the top of her shirt down to the bottom, you'd notice the logo is not exactly in the middle, if the heart was to be it. If anyone says otherwise, it happens again on the lemon on the next girl's shirt. Too right. Just a little.

Flip your pages upside down. Take a look. Flip them horizontally on photoshop, or just look at them on a mirror.

Let your girls stand on a nice horizontal line. That way your feet won't be flying around like that. As for the last girl to the right, the foot on the right is broken. Try it yourself.

On skirts, I had a nice tutorial post on the frequency of cloth folds... errr I'll link it when I feel like it.

[Anime Gurl 24_7]

Guess whos back....back again....kenjohs back....tell a friend....:lol:

Nice new art kenjoh! I always love how you do the faces and the hair ^^ I agree with you when you say pens are easier than pencil drawings, dunno why they are, they just are :huh: lol. but that just gets annoying cuz you can't rub pen lines out >.o;

[Suzuki Method]

Hey Kenjoh, haven't seen you in awhile, but I see you're still owning, GREAT WORK!

[crystaltouch]

Your drawings are amazing! Your quick sketches look better than most of my work.

His quick Sktetches are better than anything ive ever done!

But really awsome! and at your age, Keep it up! ^_^

[xXdigi queenXx]

*gleeful laughter*

hehe, how can I have ONLY JUST discovered this forum??? I am buying a scanner and uploading my scribbles purely for the chance to grace the place!!!

*gleeful laughter descends into manic cackle*

[xXdigi queenXx]

Oh, sorry, I was so busy falling off my chair that I forgot to congratualte you on your loverly pictures. I'd give you a pat on the back, but you'd probably get me for indecent asault, so I won't bother :P

Hey I noticed that your collection didn't realy include many red haired people (if it did, it was probably my lack of obsvervation skills, and I apologise), of the small ammount of coloured ones anyway. That's a hint to have a go at that by the way, in case I'm too subtle for my own good.

Also, all you're pictures are so nice and neat, do you drafts first or just blaze on in there (I'm waaaaaaaay too lazy for drafts)?

And finally, I don't have a scanner, and I don't know anyone I can hobo one off, if I took a photo of my scribblings, and loaded that up, would that work?

much abliged xx

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Hey, everyone. :D Just so you know, I'm glad to be back. I've really missed all of you. Is SM still owning everyone? XD XD


Thanks, Suikoden. Glad you like the skirts. They didn't really turn out the way I wanted them to, but oh well. So much for pens. =P You too, Kanibal, thanks.

Huuuuu~ well, thanks for the truckload of advice, GR.. ^.^ I'm no pro at poses. :P It's like, I'M SO DANGED LAZY TO DRAW THEM IN NICE POSES!! lol. Ayaka's winking because I was lazy to draw her right eye, so... yeah. Hee hee.

AG, yer right.. but they often turn out cleaner than you'd expect, eh?

crystaltouch, thanks loads. My drawings tend to turn out sucky if I spend too much time on them, I don't have tonnes of patience like most artists do. Eheh. ^^;; And I'm a girl. :P

Wheee~ hey there, DGQueen, and thanks for the comments. Ummm.. well, I'm just about the laziest artist around... so yeah, I don't bother colouring or shading the characters' hair.. blah, I sooooo am in need of motivation. Or a partner to work with. :D

[xXdigi queenXx]

blah, I sooooo am in need of motivation. Or a partner to work with. :D

*subtley raises eyebrows and smiles in a suggestive cheesy way*

Do you actually draw anime panels and managa stuff or just cels and stil images? I haven't got the organisation or patience to do too many of those, although I do love making up stories on the back of anything that resembles paper in any way shape or form -_-;

(reminder to self)~ buy/steal scanner from somewhere :shifty:

[SAB-CA]

Welcome back to the forums Kenjoh :) Good to have ya back! This place gets a bit dry without some of the good ole mainstays..

If you wanna see something colored, don't br afraid to post on the "Collaborate!! Let's do it!" thread:) I've had fun coloring other's pictures, and the rare treats of seeing my own colored! And your linework seems to be pretty loved, so I'm sure we'd have a few people willing to bring colors to em.

Nice penworks there, though Ayaka's legs scare me (O.o)! hehe. I'm suprised you find penwork easier; I've rarely ever heard of anyone finding the non-eraseable easier than the eraseable! (Though there are eraseable pens now... -shrugs-) Now I'm gonna have to look through my Newtypes, I believe one has a pic of SweetS...

How is your manga-work coming along? I remember seeing pictures in the past! I hope it's coming along well!!

-waves- Hope you find your time here now as enjoyable as ever!

[Suki]

YAY! You're back! I even started a search thread for you.

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Search thread. o.O;;

Hee hee, hi, Sab. ^_^ Nice to see you to. LOL, yeah, Aya's legs are a tad skinny.. ^^;; Yay! Maybe you and August could help me CG my pics... if you want. LOL. I don't normally ask people to do it for me. I mean, if you feel like CG-ing them, go ahead. :D

DG, well yeah I sort of have my own manga. ^^;; I have some samples up on the ???th page (I've forgotten which! >.<) .. ummm... gotta dig around. ^^;; LOL, you want to do the colouring? :D

[xXdigi queenXx]

*gasp*

I wouldn't want to screw up any of your luverly piccies by even ATTEMPTING to colour them (I wouldn't really know how anywho)...

I come from your side of the tracks, I prefer drawing and designing the characters
^_^ I might stick a thread up of some of my scribbles, maybe you could visit if I did?
:bow:

[ShinjiEVA01]

I like your art, just not when you color them. hahahaha. You're amazing; I almost hate you.

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Oooooo... don't hate me. (T_T) But um, thanks all the same, glad you like the art. ^^


Sure, DGQueen. Anytime.
Ack. Got more work to do, gotta run. Hopefully will have more stuff to upload next weekend. >_<

[LadyAkuma]

I didn't get to say welcome back to you yet. Your art still makes me happy heehee. You rule.

[Suki]

I look forward to more of your manga, BTW, we never saw more...
You must. All your manga are belong to us.

[SamSummers]

wow I love your artwork it's really good. I plan on putting some of my own on the forum soon. Great job

[kelly]

I like the girls faces so cute, but the body lower poportions are quite scary. How can they walk like that? Atemps to and falls on head. O.o jk Actualy I think your doing a great job for your age. My pics from then had cute faces but the bodys were way out of poportion too. No worries you will get better over time.

[NervousInsanity]

Excellent work, indeed. You have SOOOOOOOOOO many pages, lol. I've loved watching your art improve and your style evolve. I can't wait to see more of your art. It is truly something to look foreward to. ^_^

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Hey, everyone, and thanks loads for the comments. And helpful advice. And constructive criticism (grimaces when she thinks of *SOME* other people who just lack tact). :P

@ NervousInsanity : I'm really happy you like my art! ^_^

@ Kelly : LOL, yeah. ^^;; But for some reason, the clothes turn out nicer when I use pen, or rather, the designs do, so.. urk, I dunno. LOL. Guess I really should work on body proportion. All the flaws lie there. ^^;;

@ Haruka, yez'm! Tonight you shall. XD

@ LadyAkuma, and I'm glad to be back! :D *hugs*


Note In Advance : This thread will be updated tonight! Whoopee. ^^ Sorry about the long wait.

[i am manga mad]

cor i wish i could draw manga this good

[Malchiel]

Welcome Back Kenjoh. Wow you really got better huh. As for your art, I like how you draw crowds, you seem to have this trick of drawing a lot of ppl with just the right amnt of details.

[FURUBA4EVER]

Seems I'm a little late to this thread... :P

I love your drawings, though! They're really some of the best I've seen in a long time! I could definitely see you becoming a professional manga-ka! And you're only 15?! o_O You've either practiced a bunch or you just have natural talent. Either way...I can tell you love drawing a lot. :) (Keep posting wonderful pictures for us all to enjoy! :P)

[I love ed]

YOUR SO GREAT!!!!!!!I practice day and night and im not near as good as you..(though i'm not near as old...)My new goel will be as good as you!!!!Your my new rolemodel!!
:bow:




Whats your secret!?!?! You can pm(privat message) me!Read the sig!
:heart: :heart:

[Suki]

WOw, kinda busy lately huh?
It's nice to see that you're still a member here :)

[taramangake1009]

O.O ur really gewd. ur 14? I can even draw dat good. X im 14 too, but i procrastinate to much to go buy materials 4 manga also with the heavy weight of hw. MORE PLEASE! x_X

[raven1234]

good stuff.

[shindou501]

I think its great to see another artist of past art posting around again, your work is just one of the best on AN, in my opinion

[kenjoh_miyabi]

I disappeared again. O Levels, finally over!!! :P
Thank you all so much for the comments. Really appreciate them. :D Here's a new piece I did - Astalphon from a new story I'm working on, Commen & Delusia. Astalphon is actually a cross between the names Astaroth and Sandalphon. I'm a huge Yuki Kaori freak. ^_^

She looks a little fierce here.. I'll do some retouching. Sorry about the icky screentones, somehow they became a LOT darker after I scanned the picture... =/

http://lrg.zorpia.com/0/1129/7229442.91e6de.jpg

[taramangake1009]

Please, tell me! Where do you get your screen tones? And what pens do you use, I need to find out! I have been asking almost everyone, I need to find good pens...x3.

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Erm, I buy my screentones. ^^;;
I have COPIC and Pentel pens - those are high quality pens, but I still think the Pilot 0.3 pens make the best lines. You know, the ones with the long covers. Those are the best for fine lines.

[Lankard]

http://lrg.zorpia.com/0/1129/7229442.91e6de.jpg

very good picture, i think kind funny how her cloths are pretty much see through, can see her belly button, and where the upper thighs meet the groin.

[taramangake1009]

Which stores? Or where do you buy yours screen tones? Maybe the stores might different, I don't know, but I really need some because I'm currently working on a manga me and my frined are doing for RSOM--or Rising Stars of Manga.
It's a long shot, but, it's worth trying ^_^.

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Well, there's a bookstore called Kinokuniya where I get all my stuff from. ^^

[Suki]

Meh, I prefer the Sakura Micron.

[LadyAkuma]

Awesome pic. I love how her dress hangs from her body. I find screentones to be hard to use, that's why I use photoshop if I ever do them, and they still come out looking bad. >.<

Which stores? Or where do you buy yours screen tones? Maybe the stores might different, I don't know, but I really need some because I'm currently working on a manga me and my frined are doing for RSOM--or Rising Stars of Manga.
It's a long shot, but, it's worth trying ^_^.

You can buy pens and ink from any art supply store (I assume you live in the states). Screentones are hard to come by though but you can make them if you have Photoshop.

[kenjoh_miyabi]

@ LA : Yeah, they're pretty hard to do manually. >.< But I'm still going at it.. hopefully I'll be able to come up with something that doesn't look too icky in a year's time or so.

@ Taramangake : Depending on where you live, you'd have to look in different stores to get screentones / pens. Most bookstores/art supplies stores stock that sort of stuff. In South East Asia, though, if you're specifically after COPIC pens, only Kinokuniya stocks them.

[taramangake1009]

Do they have an online webstie where I can order from? :3.

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Of course. :)

http://www.kinokuniya.com/

[h0ckey2244]

is this free hand?
even if they arent their hella good! O_O
i like your style... beats most of my friends... yu-gi-oh! style...XP

[Deadroth]

Ok I do not post a reply often but I have just whent through this entire thread and...well I am In tears. your work is so amaziing. You have definatly inspired me to bring my art to a hole new level. I love your style. Five thousand claps for you!!! :)

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Thanks a bunch, hockey and Deadroth!! :D
I'm really glad you like the art. ^_^
Too bad I s*ck at colouring. >.<

[h0ckey2244]

OMGA! ME 2! i need to find out how to use photoshop... im dumb like that!

btw: call me hock-kun! *grin* ^_^

[kenjoh_miyabi]

OMG. I've been away AGES!!!

Here's something I should've posted long ago. Sorry about the girl's PO'd expression. ^^;; She's from my new series, Commen & Delusia, and her name's Astalphon. I know, I know, sounds like a cross between Astarte and Sandalphon. LOL. Am such a huge fan of Yuki Kaori.

http://lrg.zorpia.com/0/1129/7229442.91e6de.jpg

[shin_gyokakuran]

^_^ tis very pretty miyabi-san!
XD long time no see :D

[SAB-CA]

OOo, yes, it has been AGES, Kenjoh! Good to see ya back:) Give us more! lol.

"Hail, Hail, the gang's all here!"

Is Alstaphon so pissy because she's wearing see-through clothing for the world to see? :lol: What an interesting place to have a Tattoo...

[Tidusauron12]

OOo, yes, it has been AGES, Kenjoh! Good to see ya back:) Give us more! lol.

"Hail, Hail, the gang's all here!"

Is Alstaphon so pissy because she's wearing see-through clothing for the world to see? :lol: What an interesting place to have a Tattoo...

Good to see you to... it's been a while.

[SAB-CA]

LoL, truly it has:) My abscence from AIM never helps... :lol: But lets not clog up Kenjoh's thread :P

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Hahah, it just shows that she's tough. Must hurt to have a tattoo there. :lol:
Yeah, it's been ages. I'm in Year 12 now, in a Canadian international school. =) Loads of work to do. Aaarghh! All that studying leaves me with NO time to draw. >.<

[Suzuki Method]

Man even though you want to be an engineer you better not stop drawing, or I'll hunt you down and break your CAD machine.... just kidding, great work kiddo!

[kenjoh_miyabi]

*sniff*
SM likes it!! Thank you very very much!!

[kenjoh_miyabi]

*bump*

Found it! :D

[Chousho]

*bump*

Found it! :D
woot! WB, WB!

[kenjoh_miyabi]

It's great to be back. :) The forum's.... changed. ^^;; Anyway, may as well get rid of the new thread I made.


http://farm1.static.flickr.com/186/413263138_a069804f4b.jpg

Drawn some six months ago, I think. Beret's too small, but ah wth.

[SlackerDude]

Wo-wo-wee-wow! Reminds me of Last Exile. I think the lower lip needs a little more work but overall it's an awesome piece!

[Dr. Ezra]

Pretty decent stuff. I was just reading some posts from 2005. People worshipped you. Kinda creepy.

[Suzuki Method]

Oh Kenjoh :D Still kickin butt I see :D

[Susaku1223]

wow that's some really good stuff!! keep up the good work!!

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Wo-wo-wee-wow! Reminds me of Last Exile. I thing the lower lip needs a little more work but overall it's an awesome piece!

Heh, yeah, I can never quite get the lips to come out the way they should. As long as it doesn't look like they have an overbite or underbite, I'm... more or less satisfied. :P Thanks a lot!


Pretty decent stuff. I was just reading some posts from 2005. People worshipped you. Kinda creepy.

Ackkk. Haha. ^^;; I don't know about being worshiped, but I do kind of remember a "Where is Kenjoh!?" thread after I went MIA... still, it's kind of nice to know that people actually take notice. :) Thanks, anyway! Now if I could just get every subsequent piece to look decent too...

Oh Kenjoh :D Still kickin butt I see :D

Yaaaaaaah, SM!!! XD Hee hee. Long time no see. Almost didn't think you'd still be around.

wow that's some really good stuff!! keep up the good work!!

Roger that. ^^ Thanks so much.




Anyway. Here's another something I did.... a year ago??? ^^;; With Open Canvas. And no, my OC skills have NOT improved since then!! LOL.


http://www.animeonline.net/gallery/data/509/street1_b_.jpg


Angle's a bit off, her.. right shoulder needs to stick out more. And she's too skinny! Bah.

[Satsumaru]

http://lrg.zorpia.com/0/1129/7229442.91e6de.jpg

o_o I like this :shifty:

Great drawing style you have there :D

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Hahah. My style's changed since then, I think... I'll try and see if I can come up with a *nicer* version of that one tonight. ;) Thanks loads, tho! :D

[Suzuki Method]

Yeah I pop up here and there. Wait you live in NYC now too? hahaha cool :D

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Oooooh I guess I forgot to mention. I'm not going to do engineering after all. :D I'll be doing film in NYU starting this fall. Haha. At the moment I'm just... visiting. :P

[shin_gyokakuran]

welcome back Kenjoh :D

Ah you were gone for so long I thought you were still busy saving the world :D

[Len]

You have figure.. completely figured out.. I'm blown away. Marvelous job.. though you have a ways to go before I start drooling. :lol:

[kenjoh_miyabi]

Her waist is a little too low, though. I can't believe it took me months to realize that. X( Oh well. I'm glad you like the art, Len. And hiiii, Shin!

Anyway. More old stuff. XD Got a pretty big pile of old work to go through before I get to the recent stuff.

This is what I waste my money on - designer notebooks to draw in. It might seem like a waste, but it's the only way I can keep my drawings together. If not the loose sheets of paper will end up all over the place, even in the rubbish bin. >__> Also, sorry about the messy lines... they're all purely pen work, I can never be bothered to use a pencil. Plus, pens give you smoother lines.


http://farm1.static.flickr.com/184/416452938_7cc3e95376_o.jpg

This one's really problematic. I intended for her to be one of those super-thin model types, but her hand looks retarded and her legs are too long. Then again, I was paying more attention to the clothes (even though I suspect those look weird as well), so whatever. Tell me if you like the clothes :D

The next two are less problematic but like everything else I've ever drawn, there's bound to be something wrong so if you manage to spot it do tell.

And yeah, my handwriting's insanely tiny. The scanner actually magnified the words! Hooooo! The actual size of my writing's as shown in the first picture. Well, maybe a WEE bit bigger.
