I wanted to draw his evil eyes *_____*

(they don't seem to look like Sage and Crowe to me...T_T)<br />
------------------<br />
Okie...this was an trade with Sagered and for my part of the trade, she requested for a pic of her two OCs Sage and Crowe. I was told that Sage is a Goddess while Crowe, who later fell in love with her, happens to be one of her gaurdians (a vampire too). After reading the description she sent me and going through her gallery for Sage and Crowe pics, I decided to do something different from the usual, that is, to draw something sad and bloody (man, this doesn't look sad and bloody at all...T_T) <br />
<br />
During the colouring process, I went a bit crazy with the mediums. (I wanted the 'old painting on the church wall' feel ) See the brown? Yea, it was coffee. (erm..not the brewed coffee, but the instant type) A very nice brown it gives, and a very nice aroma it spreads too...Everyone in the house started to wonder where the smell came from... After the coffee dried up, I applied pastel to the characters (after a hard long futile search for colour pencils...;_;). I don't really know how to make the pic sharp with pastels ^^;;, so I added water to the pastel for some parts of the pic (ermm..ya, I dunno how to use pastels. XP) ..Got stuck with the colouring for a few hours...and came back with my younger brother's colour pencils to get the details done. (whew...)<br />
<br />
Kind of like the overall effect, but the characters don't look like themselves again....why...]]>Art Trade (NOXX) -- Fai and NOXX by Lenurn:uuid:9994b685-0f14-dfd3-339c-09bf27d30b142005-09-04T13:28:53-07:00Okie...I know it's been a long time since I've upload something. The new school year have been taking up a lot of my time and energy that I couldn't even take a good rest. I've been sleeping a few hours everyday these past two months, trying to catch up with the assignment due dates. (The lecturers in school have a habit of making students hand up their assignments on ridiculous times...) For now, medical leaves are a blessing, and I'm really glad that I managed to get three days medical break...(I love you doctors~)
That's when I started thinking about my art trades, especially this one. I started it quite a long time ago, but got stuck at the perspective and the clothing. After keeping it aside for sometime, I managed to get the motivation to complete it yesterday. Kind of unsatisfied with the way Fai turned out to be...T_T But still, hope you like it, NOXX!! (and really sorry to keep you waiting...)]]>Goblet Kiss by Nieurn:uuid:5b5bf5d3-e561-641f-5b15-6e7d80fbfb0b2005-07-29T00:05:14-07:00Hi!<br />
This is a Ron and a Fleur, request for RiRiana.<br />
I'm sorry i was so late (already a year! -_-u). Please, forgive me T-T.<br />
Harry is just watching a furyous Hermione (or is jealous?). A poor background but a lovely Ron-red (tee-hee *^^*). Hope you like it.]]>Kesenai Tsumi by Lenurn:uuid:f2d9c824-440a-e910-09cb-2a8947de16112005-06-06T04:03:41-07:00Okie! This one was done a few months ago, when I was in a the "FMA anime downloading" craze. The storyline was quite sad, in my opinion... but portrayed with a touch of humour. Anyways, back to the piccie-<br />
<br />
The sketch was done during one of those boring classes (way before the holidays) and painted on watercolor paper with gouache. Had some trouble with the background...(because I have no idea what to do with it originally.....T_T) The seal at on the ground was done using pastel. I kind of like the overall result (especially the boot!!) but the chain of the pocket watch was rather rushed out....(I forgot about it totally during the painting process and added it on later).]]>Curse of Creed - pg 8 by Lenurn:uuid:ae0d4779-959f-46d4-80e3-8e5075294dfd2005-06-03T21:56:35-07:00*For the manga, please read from your right to left.*<br />
<br />
And the princess came in, gave him a slap across the face and ran off in tears.<br />
<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
Yah, I'm crapping. ^^;; I was quite concern about the last speech box of the comic, as it may sound a bit offensive to the princess...("What? You doubt my ability?!") And that idea suddenly popped in when I was typing the description/comments/anything else box.....]]>Curse of Creed - pg 7 by Lenurn:uuid:d5698991-d57f-acdb-68a1-72076913e4b82005-06-03T21:39:37-07:00*For the manga, please read from your right to left.*<br />
<br />
After inking out this piece, my mind went ".............Ooops.The king looks like someone from LotR..." O_o....<br />
<br />
Had a difficult time thinking up suitable words for the dialogues....x_x~ I'm not very sure how royalties speak, and most of the time, the words I thought of were not formal enough......Guess I gotta buck up a bit more on my language......]]>Curse of Creed - pg 6 by Lenurn:uuid:1ad72d72-9455-111c-ce52-5f38ae1844a32005-06-03T21:23:25-07:00*For the manga, please read from your right to left.*<br />
<br />
The new school year started....there goes the holidays....T_T Time simply flashes....<br />
<br />
Anyways, I managed to draw a few pages of my manga. v^.^v And you might notice the change in the font. ^^ (found and downloaded it while searching for some other fonts needed for an assignment.)<br />

She requested her original characters - Zack and Zora. After reading the description BlackWolf sent me, I had a vague picture of it in my mind. Since the lady (Zora) controls mainly the element of water and the gentleman (Zack) has the elements of the darkside, it gives me an impression of a quiet and secure sort of love. (Like those that you don't need the opposite sex to tell you that he/she loves you and you'll still feel secure with that person around type.)
So I went about drawing the concept out and painting it with watercolours, and I got stuck....(Argghhh...hate it when that happens...;_;) ...the pic looked rather plain after I did the colouring....I admit...I messed up the work pretty badly and the dark shades were not showing....Thinking that watercolours might not help any further, I left the painting untouched for a few weeks....Until recently, when I got rather interested in coloured pencils.
After doing a coloured pencil pic, a sudden thought of applying this medium to the painting came to my mind. Maybe it might help bring in more dark shades! So I got back to work again and finished the pic.
Somehow, the main error that I see in this pic is that the characters don't look like what they are supposed to look like......T_T (And that sounds very bad...) Still, hope you like it, BlackWolf!]]>Fairy (B-Day pic for a friend) by Lenurn:uuid:28b7cdb3-f2cc-7386-2001-39e9001f59c12005-04-26T21:27:53-07:00Okie, this was a pic for my friend, Dorothy. Drew it and gave it to her as a B-day present ('coz i couldn't think of anything nice to give her.....;_;It's always the same question when a person's birthday comes...."what should I give???"). As I was rushing for time...I ended up making a mess out of the wings.......(Thank God that she still likes it!!)<br />
<br />
And thank God that the holidays are here again!!!! (YEEESSSH!!!) Gonna start drawing the next page of my comic....]]>Feather of Memory by Lenurn:uuid:fc8bb33b-28b6-d86c-2b05-2d1c2874648c2005-04-05T23:59:11-07:00Another doodle I did on http://www5.oekakibbs.com/bbs/perishedlove/oekakibbs.cgi. <br />
<br />
I kind of like it, so decided to post it here...Wanted to try out drawing on a small canvas...and ended up zooming in and out of the picture several times during the drawing process....And yup! Tried a new colouring stlye this time.<br />
<br />
Anyways...Studio project started.....(T_T) We have to animate a jumping ricesack in a given environment (mine is a basketball court), do a poster, CD cover, arrange our portfolio etc.....Dunno why, I didn't feel the urge to go all out for it, like the previous studio project. But still...stressed......;_;....]]>Full Metal Alchemist by Lenurn:uuid:319ea35a-b58a-00bb-84f1-d0697a1fe2e22005-03-17T18:46:26-08:00A rather quick doodle of Ed (FMA is my latest craze!!!! ^^) I did on an oekaki board.<br />
(http://www5.oekakibbs.com/bbs/perishedlove/oekakibbs.cgi)<br />
Did this after being stressed out by all those assignments.....<br />
<br />
Anyways, yup, this post is just to say that I'm still alive and kicking...And I'm not finished with my manga yet. (Wahahaha~~~) Thanks to everyone who read it!<br />
<br />
And FMA ROCKS!!!!!]]>Harry and Hedwig 2 by Nieurn:uuid:67ddcf49-f5c2-a7a2-a5df-944e77072ba32005-02-13T19:15:39-08:00Made with color pencil's and "pasteles" -_-' sorry, i don't know how it's called in english... But i hope yuo like it ^-^]]>Remus Lupin of the movie by Nieurn:uuid:866b9b06-1188-0b25-e909-6f0bf6967afb2005-02-13T19:09:42-08:00A Remus i drew when i went to see the Prisioner of Azkaban. I love that he was choosen (David Thewlis) for Remus ^-^ yay!<br />
Not so much people like him... they want a guy more handsome but for me it's ok, he caugth the scence of my favorite teacher hehe]]>Riddle charm on Ginny by Nieurn:uuid:e291701f-4612-2f3f-cc8c-85b1848c82332005-02-13T18:58:26-08:00Another old draw of Ginny and Tom, i have done three scenes like this (one it's lost)... ¿i'm nuts or somthing?.<br />
For some reason i like this couple WHY?! -_-'<br />
It's done with watercolours. The background is some weird... i was playing with the colours so don't pay atention to it ^-^.]]>Blue Sirius by Nieurn:uuid:29a17ed5-860e-a305-a12b-d8b8c2dcaae32005-02-11T16:45:15-08:00Another Sirius i drew, it was an sketch but i give it color with Corel Photo Paint, and i add a snow effect. My favorite character is Remus but is more easy and fun for me to draw Sirius.]]>The decitions of Sam Gamyi by Nieurn:uuid:ad6a83e5-95cf-0591-0916-e1e867c11aaf2005-02-11T16:34:24-08:00An old draw i made (with corel photo paint 9) when i saw the first movie of Lord of the Rings. It's the scene when Sam thinks that Frodo is dead and takes the ring with him.<br />
I read again the books, so i drew this scene i love so much. I think because of this scenes people think that both were gay, i'm a open minded girl so i love this scenes even if some people don't like it, because of thath i rate this picture as "Shonen ai" even if it happened in the book and they weren't a couple. It's a shame that in the movie isn't the same. In the book Frodo was blonde isn't?<br />
Sorry the bad english.]]>Terry and Candy laughing by Nieurn:uuid:b9f452aa-132c-786d-1b6a-1c31d03449612005-02-11T16:04:24-08:00This is a sketch i drew when i re-read the manga of Candy. Terry is my favorite character of this manga but i hate that Candy didn't end up with him... ups that was a spoiler. Sorry :P]]>Curse of Creed - pg 5 by Lenurn:uuid:91c90fd2-6881-5fc1-7ad0-53adabb9f92a2005-02-09T23:26:00-08:00*For the manga, please read from your right to left.*<br />
<br />
Okie! Pg 5. I'm quite pleased with this page. :P Anyways, right now, I'm still planning the pages after 6, and it'll take quite some time before I settle down with some of the design stuff....so...really sorry if the update is late!!]]>Curse of Creed - pg 4 by Lenurn:uuid:15a60d51-49a2-1c13-a403-b1f333ae75392005-02-09T23:19:55-08:00*for the manga, please read from your right to left.*<br />
<br />
....I had a lot of problems with this one...And yup, it's about tones again. I don't really know where to put them to get the best impact, and for the first time, I'm flipping manga just to look at the tones and how the mangakas place their boxes and stuff....^^;; Guess that's what happens when you start drawing a manga, you look 'deeper' into the comic. :P]]>Curse of Creed - pg 3 by Lenurn:uuid:b3535cb4-3e9e-98cb-87f3-2fba534256e82005-02-04T18:09:50-08:00......I tried screening toning a few times, and apart from being time consuming, it's a headache........for an amatuer like me....^^;; But I can't deny the fact that they can produce great effects that enhances drawings. I hope I'll get used to it....]]>Curse of Creed - Prayers and Answers by Lenurn:uuid:3d814629-0eb6-6d12-cf44-7018b2a859812005-02-04T17:53:36-08:00Wheeeeww......started on this pic a week ago and only managed to finish it yesterday. Kind of like the result, even though there are some grave perspective errors to some stuff somewhere.....^^;;]]>Curse of Creed - pg 2 by Lenurn:uuid:04f1f2ac-373f-a037-9a22-31377ab6fa072005-01-30T18:22:29-08:00*For the manga, please read from right to left.*
I might be changing the title someday....have been trying to get a striking title for it, but I just couldn't think of nice ones...The very first one I've thought of isn't good...(enough..)...
Anyways, I'll try to upload whatever new pages I did for this comic a.s.a.p. (My drawing production rate is very slow...T_T)]]>Curse of Creed - pg 1 by Lenurn:uuid:bfc4a1a5-ccef-4d6b-ddf5-20b6600c4e7e2005-01-30T18:13:46-08:00*For the manga, please read from right to left.*
YEEESSS!! Managed to solve that error problem!! (CMYK and RGB....arghhh....should have paid attention to my teacher when she's talking about that months ago.........^^;;)
Anyways, I'm starting on a new story recently. Inspirations have been pouring in and I'm starting to find myself juggling my schoolwork with manga drawing......(It just hurts to not draw when you have the strong urge to....) So here's the watercoloured pieces I've uploaded....Looks quite crappy, but I hope the story gets through.....]]>A Rhapsody of Strange Land (The Fool Plate) by Lenurn:uuid:192391fb-b9e8-6f6d-13f2-a5d6605dcaba2004-12-15T21:39:27-08:00Okie...this is a PC game 'introduced' to me by my Taiwanese friend. Ermm....it's not really 'introduced'...but at that time, she was leaving for further studies in Melbourne and she gave me the entire game and added, "I haven't really played it." So I took it, but I didn't really play it till now.<br />
<br />
It is an RPG game, and it's in Chinese....Somehow, it took me quite sometime to get used to the game. Though it is not as good as Final Fantasy games, it's dialogues are really witty and hilarious, and sometimes, insulting, and I guess that's what made me play it.<br />
<br />
The 5 people drawn here are the main characters. (Clockwise, from the gray haired guy: Jerry, Lynn, Philippe, Pandora, Fraud)<br />
<br />
Done using Copic, watercolours, goauche and pastel. (Haven't did a pic with copic for sometime...)]]>Request (Yin-Yang15) -- Yin Yang by Lenurn:uuid:ab76048a-b3c1-ddb5-f397-fffb5ed9f9752004-12-02T02:25:49-08:00This is for Yin-Yang15!! (Really really sorry that it took me so long!!!!!!) She requested a pic of her original character Ti-ty, and asked if the theme could be the moon or yin-yangs. At first, I thought of doing it with the moon theme, but it didn't came out as I thought it to be, so I decided to do the other one. Had some trouble with the colouring, especially the big yin-yang. (Used a chinese brush for that.) Done using watercolours, white gouache and calligraphy ink.<br />
<br />
Hope you like it, Yin-Yang15!!!!]]>Request (Paddy18) -- In The Shack by Lenurn:uuid:f349122d-ea09-be30-44fe-88919b657ca42004-11-11T02:54:20-08:00This is for Paddy18! (I'm really sorry that it took me so long to do this!!!!!) The idea for this pic was suggested by her. In fact, she suggested quite a lot of ideas which I find quite interesting to be drawn, and I was thinking of drawing some more with her ideas.
This is done using watercolours. I'm still trying to brush up on my watercolouring skills and also, perspective.......;_;....The art course I am currently in (digital media design) is like a crash course and though the lessons are very well planned, the time given to master the several subjects is very short.... Guess I have to buck up this holiday.....]]>Firenze's face by Nieurn:uuid:88f38277-1ed7-686f-1e56-f631ebf81c5b2004-11-03T21:01:42-08:00This is in my personal vision of Firenze face, in the book he was handsome and i dont like the version of the first movie.<br />
I don't drew the body because i'm so lazy -_-'.<br />
Someday ill do it.]]>Neville Longhbottom by Nieurn:uuid:044565af-800d-d7f3-5cfa-787cc4f513c62004-11-03T20:26:24-08:00Hi, this is a skecht of Neville. He's a dear character for me (but not more yhan Sirius & Remus jeje). The second chibi-neville has his cactus with acne? (i read the book so long and i don't remember the name XD)Hope you like it.]]>Luna Lovegood by Nieurn:uuid:12e0ffbf-c444-399b-4d6b-910a1f7ce2992004-11-03T20:04:35-08:00Hi!, I'm back. I did this draw in 2003 (im so slow when i post draws -_-'but still i will draw the request you want, just remember i'm like a turtle because im sick of artritis :). I see her like this, with her dreamy face, long earrings and her necklace of "corcholatas" (sorry, i dont know how to write it in english).<br />
I hope you like it.]]>Asakura Yoh by Lenurn:uuid:ac9fbcab-f46a-109a-5504-06ca4669d7452004-09-14T06:49:16-07:00Okie....I've been going a bit gaga over this manga 'Shaman King', introduced to me by a friend of mine in school. (She's an SK fanatic...) <br />
<br />
Recently, I went to a manga art convention (Watzart!) and saw this artist's portfolio which is full of watercoloured pics. Her pics are damn good....(those kind that really makes you wanna go down on your knees and beg the artist as master....) I was quite keen on trying out the colouring style she adopted, using watercolours. So here it is....my second piccy of Yoh...(the first one was messed up totally...) I'm thinking of drawing Ren and Horo Horo, but I guess I must do something else first...^^;;<br />
<br />
(Oh yah, the red seal over there depicts my chinese name. Heh heh, made that seal during the trip to Penang and I was very tempted to stamp it there...And Yoh's name was written in the wrong form of Chinese. Never knew about that until I showed the pic to my friend...;_;)]]>.29125. by Lenurn:uuid:89bd8107-852c-2b31-7028-47329e7cc9032004-08-31T07:48:22-07:00Okie....this was originally a small A5 drawing. Coloured it, but the original didn't turn out well. I decided to do a CG with the scan I made before I coloured the orignal, so here's the result....<br />
<br />
At first, I was thinking of leaving in the inked lines of the original drawing, but after thinking about it, I decided to do something new.....no lines. Thought about the title for a long time....the numbers actually form an english phrase when said. (It's something that my primary school teacher like to say when he's young.)]]>Art Trade (Kuroji) -- Kagome by Lenurn:uuid:04b3c760-e276-7f2e-d492-8285074c67b62004-08-30T04:00:36-07:00The very last art trade I'm going to do, for now......Kuroji asked for a piccy of Kagome snuggling a blankie. This was the very first image that I had in my head when she told me about the trade, so I decided to go with it. Somehow, I didn't get started on it till recently....^^;; Never watched Inuyasha before and I'm not very sure how is Kagome like...So I had to go search about her info. Eh...doesn't look very much like her.... but hope you like it, Kuroji!!]]>Valkyrie Profile by Lenurn:uuid:1949c23e-0d1f-7609-9cf9-1f797ef9e51e2004-08-20T19:19:59-07:00I haven't been drawing any manga art all this while....yup. School work is piling up again....more and more assignments....ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Anyways, this is a birthday gift for my friend....she likes Valkyrie Profile (and she's a fanatic of all PS games....) and I decided to draw a pic of the main character of VP. I don't really know how the character is like and I was confused at which hair colour she has...(I saw official pics of her having purple hair, and a few with silver hair, and my friend told me that she's a blue headed...so I decided to settle with blue...)<br />
<br />
Done with goauche and signo gold pen.]]>Angel Sakura by Lenurn:uuid:8b2a27d2-6e7d-3fe2-5d33-015a49e3c2612004-07-22T23:30:41-07:00After drawing a few CCS pics, I was rather tempted to draw another one. I had quite a hard time getting the dress done. As for the colouring, it's by gouache. I didn't plan for the windows and ended up ruining the pic with those crooked lines...;_; Stupid, silly, lazy me..........]]>Sakura and Tomoyo by Lenurn:uuid:cddb2709-dc47-30a8-02f2-34069460faf92004-07-16T00:15:59-07:00This was for a friend of mine at school. She requested for a picture of two characters from CCS. While I was painting the border, some dirt got onto it...T_T Sakura's hair was coloured with copic while Tomoyo's was done with copic and gouche. (I put a layer of very light copic first and then, did the shades of the hair with gouche.) ^^v]]>COPIC.....(Just a brief explanation) by Lenurn:uuid:463065a2-6f14-bedc-a1ad-de74feda6a012004-07-13T03:29:49-07:00*Update (14-02-2005: The paper used for the example above is common cartridge paper. If you are using paper specially made for alcohol-based markers, that would be a somewhat different story.*
Okiee....as requested by Darkraven, here's just a brief explanation on colouring with COPIC...(I won't call this a good tutorial....) For those who had used COPIC before, you can just press back and look at some other stuff....;3 By the way, for those new to Copic, I suggest that you try out the markers first BEFORE reading the following. It'll help even more. ;)
*Everything said here might not be entirely correct, so feel free to drop a comment and correct me. ^^ And I can never garuantee that you'll be colouring like CLAMP or Arina Tanemura after reading this, because everything depends on you and your efforts also!! These are just guidelines.*
introducing copic:
It is an alcohol based marker, so the ink dries up pretty fast after it is applied. (Zzzzzz.....) If you want to get an even coat, you have to colour before the ink dries up.
(Tip: Use the brush nib and colour the entire patch with just a stroke. It sort of prevents some blotches, but don't colour it too fast, or some uneven shades or edges will appear, especially when your marker is running low on ink. If the area you wanna colour is very big, then that'll be another story. XD)
Buying and choosing
When I first started off, I didn't know which colour to choose (because there are so many!!) so I grabbed a few colours which I found eye-catching and nice. Somehow, I had trouble using them later because they don't match and blend with the other colours. In fact, I seldom use them. The ones that I really use are those that are pale and lighter in shades. (eg: warm gray no.1, powder blue) They are the ones which I often need refills for and the ones which blend the darker colours together. (But without the darker colours and midtones, I can't blend them together...)
So now, I buy 3 markers at a time. These 3 are from the same colour group, one is darker, one is the lighter colour and one is in between the other 2 colours (which I call the midtone).
[Refer to 1st diagram]
Copic works in layers. You can colour with just one marker and it can give you different shades. (around 3) This can be achieved by building layers, one over the other. The more the layers, the darker the colour will become. (And the more saturated your paper will be. So remember to put some unwanted paper or cardboard behind the picture you wanna colour, or else--)
[The next 4 diagrams]
These are just the basic applications of copic. Look closely at the diagram (I didn't resize it.)
I'm not going to describe the effect, because it's rather obvious with the diagrams. When you colour your drawing, these are some of the basic techniques you can apply. You can complete a drawing with one technique, or you can mix around(that's what I always do).
Eg: Using whichever wet on wet technique first, followed by another random wet on dry technique, or vice versa.
Note that the ink can get quite uncontrolleable someimes, (especially when you're dealing with wet on wet/ your marker is new/ you're new to the marker) so plan a bit before you colour. You can try using colour pencils to mark out the areas you want to colour the darker colours or you can photocopy a copy of your art and do the planning on that. (For me, I'm lazy to plan, so I always use the paler coloured marker to fill in the spaces I want to colour my dark colours with first.)
**And one more thing. I know that COPIC is really expensive and hard to get. The techniques above may cost you quite a lot of ink on one piece of drawing, but throw that "not enough" or "I must save up some more ink for my other drawings" thought away. If you want your drawings to be nice to look at, you have to risk a bit and explore. If this way is not right, try another way, until you get the style and effect you want!! Know that there's no right or wrong way to use these markers.
Colourless Blender (0)
I'm not very sure how to use this one. Normally, use it to blend the paler shades to the white areas of the paper. In some books I've read, the colourless blender is applied on the paper before applying the colour (using the wet on wet technique.) In some others, I observed that they apply the blender after applying the main colour, but that produced some sort of negative effect. There'll be some marks or uneven shades on your colouring (refer to the last diagram) and I won't recommend you to use that on large colouring areas. (Unless for some reasons...)
What is YG11 and YG67?
That's the colour classification number for the marker.
YG stands for Yellow Green.
There are BV, B, BG, RV, R, YR, Y, YG and some more. (B stands for blue, V for Violet, R for red etc) Normally, I don't really care about the number, because the colour is all I want....hehe. But the 'BV, YG' part of the classification will help a lot if you are trying to find colours that will fit a blend you want.
And believe in nothing I've said. Go and try out the markers and write the rules for yourself.
If you think I missed out something (please don't ask about the spray gun thing, I don't have one ;_; and I have no experience with it...), wrote something incorrect or found some interesting things, you're welcomed to leave a comment. :)]]>Bunny Co. by Lenurn:uuid:ce33e36a-29ef-724e-3d6e-e822096a74b12004-06-27T05:21:51-07:00.....it's been quite a while since I've put something up here....Anyways, school's starting soon.....*sob* and I don't know whether it'll be a hectic year in this new school, but I hope I'll have some spare time to draw all want....T_T<br />
<br />
Okie, this is very much influenced by a piccy of Pienemien's. ~_^ ('Something's missing') I'm starting to notice a flaw in Copic, but still, it's a good medium to use.]]>Art Trade (Saikoro) -- Sai by Lenurn:uuid:af5ec2d1-f024-22ab-9821-6b7a9c5f45a42004-06-08T05:29:53-07:00(This is an art trade with Saikoro.)<br />
<br />
Okie...this is Saikoro's OC, and I really enjoyed doing this one. I was told that he's a prince and I tried to bring out a bit of royalty here. I kind of like the way he look like when he's older, so I drew that. ^^ (Hope you don't mind it, Saikoro-chan...)<br />
<br />
And this isn't CG, nor is it done using Copics. It's watercolours (again), and the white highlights were done using poster paints. I couldn't get my hands on watercolouring paper, so I have to stick with the normal drawing paper I have at home....*sob* (but it still looks good, just that it looks too CG-like....*sigh*) Hope you like it, Saikoro!!]]>Design (Clover influenced) by Lenurn:uuid:d284322b-7887-ebe8-e469-66fecb0708712004-05-29T18:47:06-07:00I wanted to draw something mechanical and complicated, but I hardly drew anything like that before...So I started from the beginning and studied some pictures from Clamp's Clover. I can't say that this is very original, but it has nothing to do with the story of Clover anyway, so I put it in this catergory.<br />
<br />
It's quite fun drawing this and I wanted to do some mechanical-looking bird wings. But I find that that is getting common, so I changed it to some butterfly/dragonfly wings (I wanted dragonfly wings at first, but I'm not very sure how it's like). And I actually wanted to draw a boy....but 'he' looks more like a girl, so...Oh yah, and this is done using the same watercolours I used for my previous pic (just that there's a bit more water and the lines are all inked instead of just the face).
EDIT: Okay...I'm gonna put it under the boys section now..^^;;;]]>Window by Lenurn:uuid:561ffb59-769e-1df4-c826-39c869f2ab012004-05-25T18:27:07-07:00I haven't drawn Chii for sometime...and this time, I tried to do it in another style. Still looks Clampish.....and I'm starting to wonder when am I going to start develop my own style that'll look different from Clamp's..........T_T. Anyways, done in watercolours. I've bought a new set of it and this was the first time I tried it out, using as little amount of water as possible....doesn't look like watercolours anymore....^^;;]]>Request (yuyuyasha33)-- Katsumi and Yuri by Lenurn:uuid:3fa88f23-35b1-7378-b33f-be651e090d5e2004-05-23T23:52:54-07:00Firstly, to the approval staff member who rejected my previous submission: Sorry about the large image size!! I hope this size is right...^^;; and to yuyuyasha33, SOOOOORRY!!!!!!!!! I know this has taken quite a long long long long time........SOOORRRYYY!!!!! T_T *I'm a sinner...I'm a sinner....*<br />
<br />
Hope you like it, yuyuyasha33...(SOOORRRYY!!!) I'm not very sure how to draw Yuri....T_T
(Note: This is the last request, as for now....sorry ^^;;)]]>
