The Making of: The Flower Shop – art side

It’s finally out! :D

http://www.winterwolves.com/theflowershop.htm

I’m so happy and proud about this ^__^

Jack approached me more than a year ago to work on this. I wasn’t very sure in the beginning, but then he told me about the characters and I immediately got excited!
I read Jack’s descriptions and  I came up with some sketchy designs for him.

Here they are~~ :3

I gave Steve a ponytail because I like ponytails 8D
Susana was the sweet one, so I gave her golden locks and a cute dress~~ 
Marian had to have glasses ! I gave her a casual/romantic/alternative/hippie/bohemian look… or at least that was the idea “Orz
Clara was the cool sporty energetic girl, so she needed a high ponytail, imo. And headphones. Lime green ones  because I like them 8D
Jill was the casual nice type, so I gave her a normal nice look :P Jack likes her the most, while I like Susana the most x3

The rest of the cast at that point were Steve’s Father and Uncle Sam.
Both were challenging for me, since I usually draw cute girls and young guys… ok, not “usually”, more like “only” xD;
Orpheus the cat was also a little challenge on its own, I never draw animals xD;
I looked at a good chunk of references, and I was pleased with the result in  the end ^__^

The last members of the casts to be drawn were Trent and Jacob. Both were a pleasure to draw <3 I had original concepts for them, since another artist was asked to do them because I was busy with my internship.

We agreed on 4 main poses for the girls and 10 expressions Jack chose himself from my sketches. the rest of the characters got less expressions and poses.

New Haircut + Flyable Heart Visual Book

I couldn’t stand my long hair anymore!!! >o<
No matter how pretty my long hair was it was  a pain in this weather! And I’m a lazy person, so keeping my hair in nice condition was tiresome. I’d wake up everyday with the back of my head all entangled, spent a long time combing it and I’d leave long hairs all around the place… In the end I would just wake up and clasp/clamp it up without even combing it =o=.

The idea was to go to a hair dresser a couple of blocks form my place, but it was hot and I was lazy so i just saved my money and cut it myself, lol.
It doesn’t look that bad, really xD Since it’s wavy, the un-evenness left by my lack of skills are absolutely disguised, fufufu~ Now if I want to iron-straighten it… ugh.. that’ll be a problem xD

I’m planing on bleaching it a bit next month :>

Petiiiiits!! <3

petiiiiits

They arrived :D !
I’m talking about the Nendoroid – Petit  Vocaloid #1 set I won on e-bay last month :3 They were so incredibly cheap I couldn’t resist >>;;

And I’m not even one bit dissapointed of buying them, they’re super adorable!

So I went to Suppi’s today to pick them up and we took some pictures with his sister’s nice camera, so they’re beter than ay crappy picture that I could have took with my crappy camera xD
I’m super happy! I left Akita Neru and Sakine Meiko at Suppi’s (they look really pretty in his desk :3) and I put the rest on my desk when I got home ^__^ Even my mom commented on how adorable they are xD

What came in the mail~~

I already blogged about Len and the little Patapon Keychain. This time you get to see a couple of Christmas presents that arrived at Suppi’s this week :3 (I always ask people to send things to me over there,  since there’s always somebody to pick them up there, unlike in here ^^; )

So this is what I got!! :D

The COPICs are from Ayu! OMG THANK YOU ;O;!!!
Before you go “O_O”, they actually were hers, but she wasn’t using them, so she thought I’d appreciate them more ^__^ I’m always happy to get art materials,  so I’m really really happy she thought of me :D

The black photocopied booklets are fanzines done by Reverso, a rising group of Argentinian comic artists :D My friend Duredhel worked hard on his part and sent them to me as a gift ^__^ They’re really well done, I feel ashamed of my poor drawing skills ;_; I’m sure they’ll all be super successful int he near future :D
And look! he also drew such an adorable thing for me! It’s Vinca and Willhelm and a puppy! I was squealing and melting when I saw it <333
I envy his penciling skills so much, they’re so full of detail ;o;!! Seeing a drawing of his IRL for the first time makes me go *_*.

I scanned it so you can see for yourselves in case you’ve never seen his art before~(click to enlarge)

Getting things on the mail makes me so happy and excited!
I’m grateful I’ve been able to make good friends from other countries through my drawings and exchange things with them ^__^ I should send them a drawing as a thank you, I never give presents to anybody, I’m sucha a bad Deji DX

I’m still expecting three other things to arrive in the mail at some point. I’ll let you know when they arrive~~ :P

Ripples – Kuu’s sprite, part 1

ripples-kuus-sprite-part-1

Yesterday, after procrastinating all day avoiding my internship report due this Tuesday that I also happen to be avoiding right now, I drew Kuu’s first sprite!

Since I only did her first sprite, this will be part 1. Part 2 will be when I have pose #2. There will be no Part 3 and 4, since you’ll pretty much get the point after part 2, but I’ll make you know once I have the 4 poses ^__^
