My attempt at copying Akimine's Kyou piece from the ~YOU artbook.. I later enhanced it so it would look like the real thing.

Characters from my manga Seishun No Musume

One of my under 2-min sketches (was trying to see what I could come up with in 2 minutes.. kinda hideous)

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/miyuke2.jpg
Another under 2-min sketch. ... you can tell I was moving really fast.. the proportion's all out of check. =___= I didn't have time to grab an eraser.

If those are really yours, you don't need to post them here for critque. You draw better than about 90% of the forum.

Im glad your a Marui fan. Marui makes very nice airsoft guns and their AEG's are the best.( :P )

Was that Orphen pic done in watercolor? Awsome work btw. I'd like to see more stuff not on the back of some paper with text on the other side. lol. Do you have anything besides random char. sketches for your manga?

Thanks, guys!!! *^__^*

@ MG, whoa~ that's a pretty big comment~ not sure if I should take that~ :redface:

@ Twitch, yeah, I do~ but they're kind of crappy since the colours always seem to turn out.. sucky~~ =___=

@ silentwings, what kind of detail are you referring to?? ^^

More.

http://home.doramail.com/blue_rebel/art3.jpg
Recognize the picture? That's because I didn't draw it. ^^ I just coloured it.. was trying to use those rock-hard sketch colour pencils... and this is how the final piece turned out~ er... a little.. sucky.. but~ -_-;

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/miai2.jpg
Another attempt at mastering those hard sketch pencils~~ >.<

Excerpt from my Tenipuri doujinshi (For The Love Of Tennis)

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/image0004.jpg
Just a random pic my friend took of my hand while I was drawing... ^^"
On the left is LOVELESS by Yun-sensei~~ :spin:

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/miyuke4.jpg
Rough plan for the cover of MIYUKE's artbook (to be released next spring).. I ruined it with the wordings.. will remove them and redesign the cover.. ^^" I drew this, by the way.. oh, and... D'YOU LIKE THE SCREENTONE WORK?? ;)

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/page1-small.jpg
Excerpt from a manga I attempted.. like... 3 years ago?? Hm, I was only 11 years old then~ :P so that explains the slight sucki-ness of it.

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/doodle.jpg
...... Zzzzzzzz... sleeping away Physics...

Just a random portrait. ^^ (I actually LOVE this picture~ XD) Turned it blue on PhotoStudio 5.5.

S'posed to be me, but doesn't look anything like me.. I s'pose I shall turn this into another manga character~~

These are GREAT! A question about the first post. For the second pic, did you draw it on a back of a letter? I wish I can draw like that! I need to practice more. Practice, Practice, practice.

Twitch
August 25th, 2004, 06:08 PM
Wait, If you did that manga pic like 3 years ago, and you were 11... then you're around 4 years younger than me! Wow... You are better than i thought. *thumbs up* It would be awsome to see how much better you are in another 4 years. *amused*

*curious*What kind of stories do you like working on? And where are you from? I couldn't tell from the physics paper, just that it wasnt in english.

kenjoh_miyabi
August 26th, 2004, 03:37 AM
@ silentwings, um.. thanks!! ^^

@ Sailor Otaku, yup~ it was on the back of a piece of rough paper.. ^^ Yeah, practice is the one word that sums it all up. I've been drawing since I was about 6 and reading Sailor Moon manga. :)

@ Twitch, gosh, thanks a bunch!! ^^" Guess I'm not good at taking compliments. Stories... well, I'm into fantasy... but since I sort of suck at apparel-design, most of my stuff are reality-type... ^^" No ideas for clothes. And I'm from Malaysia. ^^


Cover designs for my manga, BLACK.(Parts 1-5) ^^ Hand sketched first (just for the rough idea), then edited with Corel PPT 11.

hey, the noob here..

wow...pretty impressive work, i love drawing its the one thing i love doing, and i can say im truly impressed...thats like beyond fan art, you should try to edit some of your stuff, youŽd get famous in no time...:D

kenjoh_miyabi
August 27th, 2004, 06:25 AM
thanks loads, bisclavret~ ^^

dunno.. i've seen some really great pieces out there and when i think about 'em i always start getting the idea that i'm in serious need of art classes~ ^^"

You're even better than AE and Twisted Chi.

Can I be your slave?

Sorry, er, kinda blank... are they forum artists too?? ^^

Thanks, by the way.

Jamin
August 31st, 2004, 06:47 AM
You are an incredible artist but you seem to have an equally incredible lack of observation. AE (Anime Empress) has posted in this thread and there's a couple of threads done by Twisted Chi where he shows his art. Both of them are some of the best artists here at AN. But you bested them, easily.

And you didn't answer my question about being your slave.

M/G
August 31st, 2004, 10:05 AM
Seeing a great artist like you it's hard to belive that your only 15. Kinda knocks my confidence down, being 20 <_< .

But just a bit of advice, in your artboard(manga) you posted, there is way to much white(free) space. From what I know, editors like you to fill in as much space as possible per artboard.

silentwings
August 31st, 2004, 06:25 PM
Your getting better by the second :) but I cant believe your 15 and can draw like that. Your kinda ruining my dreams to becaome a manga artist. :'(
Okay all better now :) Well anyways keep it up and send in more of your art.

Organoid
August 31st, 2004, 10:21 PM
Holy...
Do you do requests, perhapsmaybeplease?

You must have talent oozing out of your pores. You should swab it up, save it, and sell it on the black market. RICH-QUICK SCHEME!

August 31st, 2004, 10:42 PM
Shoot! I'll take some of that talent ooze!!.....wait now that I think of it, that sounds really sick. :P

September 2nd, 2004, 08:18 AM
@ Jamin, eep~ it's just that I haven't really browsed this board much~ I just posted my thread here and disappeared... ^^" I'm not in need of a slave, but if you insist~ ^^"

@ Organoid, ermm... did you have a particular request in mind? It takes me quite a bit of time to master drawing a particular character if it's for fanart purposes.. so.... sorry in advance if whatever I'm supposed to draw turns out sucky~ ^^" *bows*

@ Shin, eeee thanks~ *bow* *bow*

@ MG, eheheh.. doesn't really matter. ^^ I just thought I might be able to get hints and tips on media use from other better artists... stuff like that. :) *gweep*.. yeah, I'm 15.. thing is, I only started improving lots around last year. Before that I used to be pretty sucky.. or.. well, much suckier than I am now, at least. ^^" Hmmm~ which manga are you talking about?? ^_^


Righto~ haven't been at the sketchpad ages... guess I should get around to drawing some stuff... will probably upload more tomorrow!! *punches air with fist*

@ silentwings, I'm not sure if I'm improving with every second XD The annoying thing about my drawings is that my style keeps changing. Each time I pick up a new manga or doujin or piece of art and go, "Oh, this is nice!" my mind sort of gets messed up and I automatically switch styles. Which can be a big nuisance, especially in manga-making. AAAAUUUUUGHHH~

@ Anime_Empress, you keep it up too! ^^ You draw too? Do you have a thread here? :)

Coloured this with a COPIC marker airbrush~ MANUALLY.
The stuff went over the lines loads, but I cleaned it up on Corel. ^^

September 4th, 2004, 05:11 AM
Nice coloring job, that is the hardest part for me, you screw up the coloring and the whole drawing is trashed, but you did a good job

These are amazing, i wish i was as good as you!

I really really like the 2nd Black cover. It works so well.

More!

kenjoh_miyabi
September 4th, 2004, 05:21 PM
@ Cactusman, thanx. ^^ Yeaaaah, that sucks loads when it happens.. *looks up* Actually.. I kinda think I pretty much screwed up that picture too.. but I was just testing out some new COPIC colours I'd just bought and airbrushed the whole thing in under 5 mins (the original picture's kind of big.. ^^"), I guess that doesn't count~ XD

@ Wibbles, thanks!! ^^ I'll make more covers like that one, then~~ yoshi~ at least I've got some feedback on the covers.. :D Zettai ganbarimasu yo~!!!

How much do you draw? I haven't practiced in a while. Im good at it, but now with more school, and less time to draw they turn out "ok" or really Krapy >.< should I practice more? Every time I come back I can at least bring back my best skill, but prolly wont inprove w/o practice. Hope I dont lose it ...

kenjoh_miyabi
September 11th, 2004, 06:49 AM
@ Spike, ummm~ actually I don't really use books or guides and stuff like that. I just kinda get inspired by the manga I read. :)

@ Smurfboy, actually I'm 14~ XD But thanx anyways~ :P

@ silentwings, nosiree, of course not!! :lol: I'm a... a... very... erm, nice person!! LOL~

@ shinichi, yeah, I'm pretty tied up with school and stuff too~ >.< But during the holidays I'm in high gear and I start drawing like crazy~ :P

@ Chikyuu Senshi, thanks loads! Um, practice makes perfect? ^_^

Apple Welsh, from my manga BLACK~ sorry about the name~ :P You know how Jap authors think up the WEEEEIRDEST names.. so to get into that same flow, I came up with the name APPLE WELSH!! XD My friends think it sounds really cute tho~ ^_^

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/apple.jpg
TA-DAH!! Apple-chan!
Pose... hmmm.. inspired by [Oh! Great!] AIR GEAR (my current favourite manga) .. it's a good manga to get cool poses from~ check it out! ^^


http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/apple-welsh.jpg
And here, I coloured Apple! ^^
Okay, I really CAN'T CG for nuts, so I have to make do with manual colouring and stuff~ I coloured this with Lyze hard pastels~ which are so bloody difficult to use!!! *sob* (my advice to you : USE SOFT PASTELS!! They're easier to control! Don't touch the hard ones!) And then I just.. er, typed over it? Oh yeah, the light thingy above her left sleeve is just a lens flare I added in on Corel PPT. This is the chapter design of Part 2 to Volume 1 of BLACK.

The girl on the left is Amane Rii (back view), one of the characters~ ^^ My sister says this looks like a cover of a novel~ mmmm.. which is good, in a way~ I did want it to look like an old photo. ^^ (all hail PhotoStudio!!)


http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/rebel.jpg
This is the "inside" cover of Volume 1~ purely Corel PPT, no drawing in this one. :)

Cool cover. Are you by any chance making a manga, if so what is it about?

Anime_Empress
September 19th, 2004, 12:12 PM
Kenjo, I really like the look of that first one. It does look like the cover to a novel. ^_^ What I also like about it is the color, and how it's kinda "fuzzy" or like a newspaper.

Hmm...Could you share some advice on making Manga? I've really been wanting to make one for fun, it's just I'm not sure where to start art wise. Other then characters. I mean how to go about creating the pages and ect. ^_^ (more of tips on how to make it look good and the manga page format) ...eh...hope that's clear...

Sorry I haven't been updating for so long~ >.< I'm having my exams right now, and well... you know what that means. Guess I won't be uploading new stuff for about a week or two more. Hope you guys will be patient with me!! >.<

@ Anime_Gurl, ahahahah.. ^^" Not tired of dancing yet?? *poke* Thanks for the dance(s), anyway~ XD Appreciate 'em~

@ SM, thanks!! ^^ I'm still experimenting with new effects on Corel and PhotoStudio.. hmmm... lotsa cool stuff to play around with~ XD XD *fuzz fuzz fuzz*

@ AE-chan, hmmmmm... I don't really know how to teach someone how to make manga~ ^^" I publish mine, so it's.. how you say... er, professionally done? With proper IC paper and COPIC markers and .//Too. screentones and all that.. what kind of stuff do you want to know? Maybe I can help, if you don't mind going into detail~~ :)

@ silentwings, I've got loads of different titles currently... some are my own, some are art collaborations with other doujin/manga artists... this particular one, BLACK, is about.. well... er, hard to say... think X/1999-cross-Bakuretsu Tenshi. ^^ (if you've watched both)

Gosh, everyone~~ thanks for all the encouraging comments!! I'll definitely be working my arse off at the drawing board once my last paper's over!! Yah, sux to you, History papers!! *sticks out tongue*

Okay~ here's a page of BLACK~ nothing much, haven't had much time to do things~ ** note : the bottom bit is a photo, evidently. :P I lassoed it and used it as a background.

Kind of reminds me of what the artist of Saikano appears to do with his wide city-shots... except with a lot more presence, since he apparently fades his out a lot...

The small lil window to the right, with the face in it, looks a bit odd to me, but I'm sure it probably works better when you see the pages of the work together. The way the top of the lance the figure is holding meets the sky, it kind of looks like they just... blur together. Adding a bit of white to break it up might help...

(leaves quickly to avoid making more spelling errors and such.)

Hope to see more sometimes ^_^

kenjoh_miyabi
October 1st, 2004, 02:25 AM
Thanx for the advice, SAB~ ^^
Er, unfortunately that particular volume's already been published~ yeah, that was the first volume of BLACK so.. er, still needed much practice... not that I don't need any at present~ *cries*

Okay! New stuff~ some stuff I doodled away while my exams were on~ I read and write pretty fast~ :P (which leaves me with time to draw, LOL) These days I don't have much motivation to doodle anything but the characters from my own manga BLACK~ hope you guys don't mind the monotony~ ^^"

What type of Manga paper do you use?
I use the paper size 210mm x 297mm made by I.C.

Oh i forgot to add this, Which type of Pigment line pens do you use?
I have a Staedtler 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7.
I also have a Sakura Micron 0.2 and .001.
My black background fill in is a prisacolor bold tip and thin tip.
i just want to know what stuff you use. It always turns out nice.

@ AE-chan, hmmmmm... I don't really know how to teach someone how to make manga~ ^^" I publish mine, so it's.. how you say... er, professionally done? With proper IC paper and COPIC markers and .//Too. screentones and all that.. what kind of stuff do you want to know? Maybe I can help, if you don't mind going into detail~~ :)



*thankyou for the "chan"* :bow:

Well..hard to explain...do you use layers when making the pages? Do yo draw the chacters first, then stick em in the backround, or draw it all together, um...*thinking*...*thinking*...how would you go about as to writing the format of the story, and layout and such...if any of this makes sence..>_<

@ AG, wow~ you have loads of stamina~ :P

@ silentwings, thanks soooo much~ *literally cries tears of joy*

@ wingedsoldier, ehehheheh... *huuuuge sweatdrop*... erm, practice makes perfect!! XD XD *cheers*

@ Suki, my pens and markers are mainly Pentel and COPIC, but regular Pilot 0.1 G-pens are just as good as COPIC 0.05 markers (which cost much more). ^^ If I'm short on cash I usually go for Pilot. Yeah, I'm using the same sort of paper as you~ but on broke days I've got no choice but to stick with Pentel ivory paper~ :P

@ SM, thanx~ ^^ Hm, right, will look into that~ *punches air* Yoshi~!! Zettai ganbarimasu!

@ AE, ummm~ I usually draw them all together. ^^ Format? Layout? Eh? ^^" I usually have the plot and everything all done before I get to work on drawing and all that.

Okay, thanks for all the support, you guys!! ;) Really appreciate it~ here are more sketches I made over the weekend... holidays are starting soon, maybe then I'll have more time to get down to colouring some stuff. :P I don't have enough patience to colour stuff most of the time.. even the cover of my doujinshi and manga are pretty bland in colour~

More characters from BLACK and a few random bits.

One of my pals is a yaoi freak and this is her.. anime-style and sorta chibified.. drooling. ^^

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/pcm2-
My friend drew this, but I screentoned it for him. I failed to take account of the tag sticking out of his headgear in the left, and I accidentally cut a huge chunk out of his beret~ =____=

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/sachiko.jpg
Another avvie I drew for an AXN-Asia forumer. Roughwork version. I touched it up, but I seem to have misplaced the file...

Eiz Hauff, from BLACK. (where did the "Hauff" come from?? Gosh, no idea.) She looks out of proportion here, from the waist down, but I felt like I'd regret erasing her legs off~ so I just left it at that. XD

Eiz's chubby face. XD Seriously, I always get a kick out of drawing her, shoulders up. She's fun to draw, especially her hair and turtleneck. ^^

You know what Ive realized? I think what softening the detail in my sketches is the fact that Im using a cheap school #2 pencil. If I can get my hands on a mechanical pencil Im sure I can do better now. as is we actually dont have a single one in the house lol. I need to get my lazy butt to Walmart and buy osme.

@ Innotech, actually half the time I use normal HB pencils for roughwork, and then do the lines over them again with 3B-8B pencils~ ^^ At least you can sharpen them. You can't sharpen mechanical pencils, so when the edge gets flat it gets me miffed~ can't break it because it'll become rough. >.< Oh, and thanks, by the way!! :D

@ silentwings, thanks! My manga's more to the fantasy/action side. Very little romance, coz I suck at drawing people in bed and smooching and all that... >.<

@ Akro, thankeeewwww~~ :w00t: woot! FAME? LOL~ yeah I see my username there already anyway~ :P

@ wingedsoldier, I just buy whatever's accessible here. ^^

@ Suki, COPIC markers cost 400 yen if I'm not mistaken. They're pretty expensive in Malaysia - RM 16. Good markers for colouring aren't easy to get here, so I usually buy one new marker only every two months. >_<

@ Jinpun, thanks sooooo much!! :spin: (can't think of anything else to say.. ^^" )

@ Inuyasha, thanks for hinting that my art's ... uh... "good"... ^^" Um, if your artwork's that great, upload some of your stuff for public viewing! Or get your friend to do it if you don't have a scanner. ^^

This is what I sent Miyabi. Please read it. It explains EVERYTHING.

And I thought you shoud know that Suki, from Animenations is the one
who is stealing all your art. The art they posted at Animenations is
also not theirs. They go the this forum called The Otaku (there's a
link in Suki's siggy) and they stole my signiture there and lots of
other people's art. It's obvious because Suki posted lots of different
types of art and even stole some Naruto sprites and claimed them as
hers. I'm sorry, but Suki is not who you think she is. Suki =
Sharingan. She's been stealing all sorts of arts and I'm the only one
so far who has connected her with all of it. Hopefully she won't do it
anymore. I'm also evol by the way.

@ AE, you don't believe any of us~~~ T_T *sobs in a corner* Ah well, stuff like this happens waaaaay too many times, sometimes it's a little hard to tell who's being honest and who's not. ^^" There are times when I always wonder if someone's posting my stuff somewhere else, and whether people from that forum will come here, see my art, and think I'm stealing the other person's art, when in actual fact it's the other way round.

oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, Myiabi, honestly, I believe all that you have posted is your art. (hope it didn's seem like I didn't believe you) You see, in the pic with the hand, it looks much like a fifteen year old girls hand, cause I'm a fifteen year old girl who has a hand much like yours, plus arm. ^_^ and the drawing in that pic, the style, fits with everyother. As for everyone else, I don't know what to believe. Just whoever drew it (and if you reading it) SUGOI!! Beautiful! ^_^ It's so confusing. However, I do believe that the art I first thought as yours, I still thinks it's yours and only yours.

As for the "group" work in SHarangains thread, that didn't make sence at all. Everyone has different styles, so they wouldn't have been so close. It can't be.

LOL, I didn't know there was a special "look" to a 15-year old's hand~

Actually.. it's possible to have really similar art styles because that's what it's like in my doujin group, too~ of course, they aren't all THAT similar, but it'd take you a few minutes to tell the strokes apart. It took us a few years to get to that level. I'm lucky because I'm the type of person who can look at a new style and imitate it.. well, not on the spot.. usually takes me a few days or so to "break in" my hand. It used to be a problem for me because I would keep changing styles and my group leader would get mad at me and go, "STOP CHANGING STYLES!!! This is bad for our comic strips~~" ^^"

Mmmmm anyway, better get back to drawing~

Did you do the CG editing on an LCD or laptop moniter? I found that using a lcd moniter doesn't reveal as much as a CRT (boxy) moniter does.

Gahhh!! Finally!! Hope you guys aren't.. um, ticked off~ :P
Being on hiatus for so long stiffens the drawing hand, as you can see in the following pictures...

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/aiji.jpg
Pathetic attempt to draw Aiji from PIERROT. =___= Sigh. I can never be a portrait artist.

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/fiyaa.jpg
This is Fiyaa, from a JRock-based manga I'm planning to create, SFORZE. Haven't started anything yet, though.

http://home.doramail.com/miyabi/kirito.jpg
I tried! I tried!!
Also a very bad likeness of Kirito from PIERROT... *sniff* And his neck's too small. Proportion horribly screwed up. >.< *wants to cry*

Guess I disappointed you, eh?? ^^;; Sorry. Really sorry. I'll start drawing lots from today onwards!! *what's left is just whether my scanner will act up or not* Oh, and the chalk-like marks.. I just airbrushed white ink over the background so it'd look smoother than the previously hideous lines I didn't know about. :P

@ silentwings, thanks a bunch! I'm running short on ideas at the moment.. trying to reap new stuff from flipping through JRock and Harajuku mags.. :P

@ Lantis, yippee! I'll root for ya!! ^^ Success doesn't come without hard work~ :D And thanks a lot!

@ AE, out of the many pics I have of myself, these are the lucky shots~ :P Usually I turn out kinda sucky in pics too, especially if the flash is on~ lol~

@ Rap, thanks man~ aw well, your talent doesn't have to lie in art. Loads of people have other strengths~ ^^ But then again, practice makes perfect~ *nyuuuu*

@ Shin, kyaaaaaa thank you! XD XD I guess the only times I actually qualify as "cute" are in certain photos.. or if I ever do a chibi version of myself. LOL~


Okay, proof that you don't need a pencil to start off. Pens do the work just as well.

http://home.doramail.com/blue_rebel/penguy.jpg
Did this last night while listening to the CATS soundtrack. Didn't take too long, except that I think the guy looks kinda sissyfied. LOL~ at least it didn't turn out too messy~ given the fact that I did it in pen (actually I didn't mean to... it's just that I lost my pencil~ =___=;; )

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

Awsome new works there, and I agree that pen guy does look like a sissy, but it's a sissiness that makes him intimidating... if that makes any sense. haha. I may have said this if/when I posted before, but I love the style you use. Never lose your will to draw, it'd be a shame to not see any new artwork by you.

Now to go and draw... I need to work out a few more kinks in my comic before I show anything around here. Then 500000 hours of homework bwaaaaaa!

Sorry if I seemed a little childish.. ^^" Somehow when people don't say anything I tend to think that they're getting bored of my art.. ^^;; (which might be true.. it's time to give my characters major makeovers! :lol: )

Okay, here's a random sketch. Named her Mio.. not sure if the eyebrow piercing's obvious..

I actually did this all in pen, without sketching it in pencil beforehand. I'm better at pen than at pencil, strangely~~ *scratches head, kinda confused* Only problem's that I couldn't use an eraser, lol, so the proportion's sorta.. eheh, messed up. Oh well~

@ Twitch, eheh thanks loads!!! ^^ Something went horribly wrong with my version of Open Canvas this morning though, and now I've got to go look for something else. Trying my hand out at Pixia, have you used that one before?? *looks hopeful*

@ Raiden, hai hai~ now it's gotta go on hiatus till I master Pixia.. or some other CG-ing program~ -_-

@ Shin, arigato nya~ XD Is "wai" your new word?? XD XD

@ AE, lol, CG-ing the skin's the most fun part (shading it, especially!) ... and possibly one of the easiest. (gak~ just what I think, since I'm only starting out :P )

@ AnimeGurl, nuuu~ I made the pattern like that~ XD XD Hm I'm sure you can get airbrushes at an art supplies store.

@ august, I wonder if she'd really react that way??? ^^ Thanks so much, oh and have some milk n cookies... ^_^

@ LadyAkuma, er, it could be because I do loads of manual colouring, so the shading and stuff on CG-ing are a little easier to.. grasp. Oh, but don't give up so fast!! *eggs you on* Ganbatte miyou!! XD

@ HeadCrab, I'm sure even orang utans draw more than me, given the slow rate at which I update this thread~ :lol:



.... =____=
Feeling sore cuz Open Canvas just timed out on me and refuses to open. Tried re-installing, re-downloading, everything, and nothing worked... so um, gonna switch to Pixia. Hopefully that'll work out. Or could you recommend more good freeware for me?? :P Eheheh thanks for the encouragement, everyone~~ if you're sick of milk and cookies there are always biscuits and tea~ XD XD

I think all of them are great, but you are always going to be your toughest critic. I am the same way. You can do the manga set up a lot better than I can. I am just into drawing some rough sketches and portraits of people. Keep up the good work.

Thanks so much, everyone. ^^

@ chango, you do portraits? That's uber. I wish I could, too.. but I just don't have the knack for the realism thing.. :P *thumbs up to ya*

I was just.. er, attempting the XXXHolic-type swirly background.. didn't turn out too well, though. XD The girl's just there to brighten things up.. so the layout doesn't look too sucky. :P

Thank you soooo much! I needed feedback on that because I was planning to use the same bg idea for a cover layout. :D

Hmm.. I seem to be running out of cookies to give out... :P

Whoa!! Youre only 15??? You must be one of the best artist in the world. =/
This is unbelievable. Im totally blown away.
I tried visiting ur site, but i got kind of lost. Some things were being displayed properly for me, dunno why, so it was hard to navigate.


Well, very nice style. Im really impressed!! Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but her left cheek and eyes look out of proportion.
But, you have already inked it so you can't do much.

@ shadow, thank you very much!! =)

@ Sagess, aww... nah, I don't really qualify for that position.. ^^;; But thanks for such a great compliment!! :)

@ Suki, well, yeah, I noticed that too, but the girl isn't the main part of the picture anyways. I was focusing more on the background. Oh, and it isn't inked yet. What made you think it was? :P

Must be that danged scanner making all the pencil lines look like pen ones. =___= Oh well. Just something I doodled last night. YES! IT IS INCOMPLETE!! XD I still need to add stuff to the background.. thinking of drawing some sort of cabin and then adding robins to the tree.
Initially the tree was quite pretty, with leaves and all~ :P and then I was like, "Hey, what's the tree doing with leaves in winter??" and erased the leaves. LOLz~ and maybe after I'm done with the whole picture I'll... colour it or something.. because thus far, this looks like the kind of thing that won't look nice uncoloured. ^^

Yeah the guy looks a little short, problem is, I wasn't willing to erase him right off and draw him again, so let's just imagine his other Wellington boot-ed foot sunk into the snow. :lol:

I like em Miyabi :) The christmas-ish one is very nice, maybe a teeny weent out of perspective, but perspective is a pain in the butt. As always your work is wonderful, it's very soft , gentle and wispy. Keep em comin, you're a talented girl!!

December 17th, 2004, 07:29 PM
@ Kikyo, LOL~ yeah I thought it might be weird too, if I left his feet undrawn, so I chucked his down there, under the er, chair thingy.. :P Gaahhh should've guessed it'd look weird anyway~ hahahah! XD

@ AE, ooooh, is he really? ^^ That's good then.. *rubs hands together gleefully* Oh, the coat? XD I just saw something in a magazine and well.. "attempted" to draw it.

@ A_G, don't worry! Take your time.. explore other aspects of art as you go along.. new styles and stuff.. :)

@ Shin, Thanks!! ^^ yup~ I'm getting a friend of mine to CG it for me.. ^^ I'll probably try and do it up manually too.

@ Dan, thank you soooo much~~ erm, and eheheh the one you should be jealous of is SM, not me~ but thanks a lot anyway!

@ Vagabond, I'll probably be old and rusty~ hahahah... thanks a lot. Have some cookies n milk? ^.^

@ SM, well thanks a bunch again! XD *more high praise~~ hee hee*

I like the school uniform one... if my school had uniforms I would want something like that... I always design my own clothes so that gives my ideas... don't ask me how... butI want to talk... like... always... anywho... I once designed this pair of jeans ((by the way there was nothing wrong with it)) and I got the jeans taken away because it showed too much skin... SHORTS SHOWED MORE SKIN than those pants.... anywho... so I'm going through a hole entire controvercy with the teacher who took them away... stupid Mr.?... UUAH I hate him... ok... that was totally off the subject... he-he... by the way... nice pictures

I love the hair and school uniform. Are they all the same person?

kenjoh_miyabi
December 19th, 2004, 05:53 PM
Yup! They're the same person, all right. ^^
I'm planning to do a oneshot manga, and she'll probably be its main character. Oh, the name reads ISHIDA MOTOKO in kanji, by the way. ^_^ ...Mukashi Mukashi 『昔々』

@ Kikyo, it's cool that you do stuff like that. XD I've always wanted to mess around with clothes too, but my mum probably wouldn't like it.. ^^;;

@ Foofaraw, can I oil your jaw for you?? ^^ I'll take that as a compliment though, thanks alot! ^^

@ SM, as usual, a big thank you from me. XD I'm running out of tidbits to hand out.

December 19th, 2004, 05:56 PM
The funny thing about that is... he-he... my mum doesn't like me doing anything clothes either but I do it anyway... and my mum doesn't really care... because she likes what I do

lol I recently wore the shortest skirt I've ever worn. (it was about half inch to an inch above my knee I think..it might have been a tad higer..not sure..think it was half inch to inch though) My Mom only let me cause it was a cosplay outfit. ^_^ It was also a school uniform.

Wah, very cute Miyabi-chan! There is something about her arms and legs that quizzles me a little, but it's not tragic let alone bad. =P (lol like I should be talking about anatomy >_< ) Be sure to post more. ^_^
