I did not win, but it was an excuse to finally draw her. I am not obsessed with Vocaloid as much as others, but some of their songs are nice and cathy/creative.
"Lets Be Friends" and "Two Faced Lovers" are my favorite Vocaloid songs.]]>The Sprite's Territory by luckylace222urn:uuid:25870f21-4e12-fcb0-3221-a6654a636cf92013-12-14T05:25:40-08:00An art-trade part with an old FACer: Pantlesshobo.

Also, if you ever say "You should draw on higher quality expensive paper," one should note that notebook paper requires precisely measured inking/lines and a specific type of processing for school approval. Printer paper is just bleached. Notebook paper is more "expensive" in the long run. ]]>Miscellaneous - Part 2 by luckylace222urn:uuid:42f21f22-59f7-6a8a-35f6-cb45aaf8c5302013-11-25T05:20:53-08:00I CAN'T STOP DRAWING; IT IS A SAD DISEASE REALLY.

I am wondering if I should definitely continue the Roommate Series like this (giant comics) in the future.

This is the more extended sketch dump for After Hours while I was developing the idea. I debated between the boarding school idea or the modern day idea for a long time; the modern day idea won. This story is based loosely on the Roommate Series's Louis and Arthur. That is where all this emotional nonsense ideas start.
After Hours: After defending two university students from a gang-mugging, Louis Carter catches the attention of the violent Recid gang leader Arthur Terrece, a 19-year old boy who dominates the nearby gang area. Forced to affiliate with the gang “after hours” (after school, after work, after family) for the Summer or until Arthur is fed up with him, Louis is thrown head-first into the world of gang-violence, stealing, guns, feuds, and rape.
You guys should never stop thinking. Making stories, whether through drawing or writing, is fun. ]]>Acid Flower - Part #3 by luckylace222urn:uuid:ca8aa3ad-03c5-ac95-3038-9e3b5dc286002013-10-29T00:55:41-07:00I still get embarrassed drawing shounen-ai scenes.

(I will fix the wonky too-contrasted look in the later sketch conglomerations; do nto worry).
This manga idea takes a LOT of character design, and I have an unimaginable number of ideas in my head, so why not.
]]>Acid Flower - Part #1 by luckylace222urn:uuid:08a0b695-a5c7-bef3-1bd8-dd4192feb3ea2013-10-15T05:21:19-07:00So who wants to know where I have been? YOU GUYS DO NOT WANT TO KNOW; IT IS HORRIBLE. I AM STILL IN IT. LEAVE ME ALONE; LEAVE ME ALONE, SCHOOL. *fetal position shake*
Anyway, let me leave not the largest, but one of the largest accepted sketch dumps on FAC right up here. You guys wanted to know how my art has been; well, for once, you get it.
I finally realized my university has a fast scanner in the computer lab, so I took all the sketches (that I did not throw away), scanned them, and finally made a sketch compilation based on my current projects. You guys also get to see how much I freaking draw. Many of these were on Math, Organic Chemistry, and Biochemistry notes - of course.
To believe it or not, each and every one of my sketches have a story behind them, and this sketch dump, although it is hard for you to read and understand, it is just fine for me to remind myself of the ideas I had before. Ignore the bad scanning, small letters, and scribbles. If it makes sense to me, it is okay for me. In addition, you may find me randomly condemning myself in the sketches. I tend to do that when I am in school.
Acid Flower: Living in The World, the neo-political metropolis established by a group of Elders after the fourth World War, elitist Ruka Alfwin seeks to hack into the deeper governmental system to undermine the city's secrets. Before he can investigate any further, he is kidnapped by Drux pirates and forced to adapt to the primitive conditions of the desolate and poor outside world where he meets Cyrus, a slum-born boy who teaches him the ropes of dignity, teamwork, and companionship even in the most crooked parts of the Earth.
Genre: Fantasy, Psychological, Shounen-ai
Did you guys know that after I created this idea, I looked up "Acid Flower" on the Internet, and there was coincidentally a yaoi manga created with that name? COME ON; my story is ten times better than that annoying UKE-ACTS-LIKE-BELLA-SWAN YAOI MANGA. URGGHHH.
I have more parts to submit. ...I am just spring cleaning for the "future."]]>FAC New Cat Pheral Contest (2013) by luckylace222urn:uuid:d8b926e6-9017-b720-ec59-c93ec074a2a32013-08-19T22:39:49-07:00CONTEST: New Cat Pheral
Deadline: September 6, 2013 (CLOSED)
Theme: So who wants a new cat pheral logo? Probably all of FAC. FAC has made many forum posts and polls about making a new pheral, but it is about time to initiate some fresh ideas through a contest just as the first pheral design was. Create a creative (but clear) cat pheral design for FAC's new logo. The concept will be used to determine the new logo design. If you win but you only have traditional (pen and paper) tools, FAC can CG your artwork to fit the header better.
(WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE IDEAS WILL MOST DEFINITELY BE USED FOR THE LOGO. THIS CONTEST MAY COINCIDENTALLY GET THE WORST IDEAS EVER. BUT IT IS A START.)
Other Pheral Designs Over the Years ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Rules: 1.3 submissions per user (you can submit 1, but the more ideas you submit, the higher chances of us choosing one of your logos) 2. When September 6, 2012 12:00 AM passes, submissions are closed for the contest. We do not take late work, no matter how good you are. :) 3. No explicit sexuality/violence
Scoring Guidelines: Skill: 30 points
Example: [CLICK HERE] - You can use crafts, digital mediums, traditional mediums(etc.) to express this theme, but you need skill to make it look good! Whatever style you work with, whether anime or realism, make it synchronize with your idea, and your skill will inevitably show.
Creativity: 50 points Example: [CLICK HERE] - We do not want just a cat looking cute (but maybe we do if you can make it look good)! Something that is fun, catches the viewers' attention, and does something intriguing is gold for the new design. Let's create a design that strays from the boring gray cat look we have had over the years.
Cleanness: 20 points Example: [CLICK HERE] - Although having a well-colored and detailed cat is preferred, if the design is too messy and everywhere, it can be difficult to make it look good on the header. Make sure your design is neat and to the point! Since the contest is more about idea/concept, I will be sure to CG/clean any winning "messy' designs. However, always practice cleanliness yourself!
Note:[/b][/color] - Send contest information (whether you will enter, questions, links to entries) to either this picture or my profile - There will be 2 judges (luckylace222 & ShadowFalcon) for the contest, and your final score will be the average of our two scores - All mediums (CG, traditional, etc.) are acceptable, but the winning design(s) may be CGed/cleaned by FAC to be better for the header - You can choose to submit all 3 submissions on either seperate FAC pictures or the same picture[/b]

Individual Submission Scores]]>Accelerando (Manga Sketch) by luckylace222urn:uuid:d568d28d-481e-2df8-3278-a7da3bdb0cb02013-08-12T01:29:16-07:00Accelerando: Extended shounen-ai idea between MadamePenguin(writer) and I (artist) about Allister, the young pianist prodigy that gets picked up by a music teacher assistant named Jason to be the maid/roommate for his apartment. They at first have really clashing personalities, but after some mutual musical bonding moments, they start to understand each other. Eventually, their different persoanlities start mending enough for them to start having sexual feelings for each other.
This has actually become an actual project; I just decided not to continue it on SAI. I hardly have time to go home to my tablet because of college, so I am going traditional (again, this seems to be the pattern).]]>After Hours (Manga Sketch) by luckylace222urn:uuid:66eb260e-244d-41d3-b222-8d66d451262c2013-08-12T00:33:34-07:00After Hours: Quick old European boarding school idea with main character Chester whose house and rich family is arsoned. To atone for his sins, the arson pays for Chester to go a boarding school that is coincidentally internally controlled by the rebellious Arthur who uses his family influence to harass the teachers and students. Chester gathers the courageous youth that want justice against Arthur's "bad youth" group, and the school is split. Strangely enough, Arthur and Chester become friends.
I was thinking of changing this story's background and premise to turn into an actual project. That will hold for another time when I am feeling up to boarding schools or the theme of justice vs. injustice.
(The last panel was blank, so I just drew Koji in it. Naturally.) ]]>Master & Pet (Manga Sketch) by luckylace222urn:uuid:dc13133c-661b-339d-6991-e40fefc1efc72013-08-11T18:35:16-07:00I do a lot of "rough" manga sketches of quick ideas. I wish I could upload all of them, but many are so messy and old that I might as well mainly upload the recent ones. Sometimes, if the sketch feels decent after I draw it, I make it an actual project.
Master & Pet: In this world, "humans" have "pets" (humanoid cats, dogs, rabbits, etc) as companions for entertainment. It is just like real life except I felt people would understand the message more if the pets looked like humans. Many of us treat our pets as entertainment, but we leave them home and do not play with them and become disinterested after they "stop becoming cute/hyper." You do not give them much attention, and I feel there are smart animals that run away and become purposeful strays to avoid this lifestyle.
My story is about Tomei, an elite human that can provide the necessary survival principles for pets, but out of all the elite and stray pets that want her, she wants the stray pet that does not want her, the rare Black Cat stray named Catrx who owns the dangerous cat gang in the slums. She eventually licenses him, but he spends most of his days outside, and they live different lives. Still, they are licensed as "master and pet," and they have many warm and defining moments as "master and pet." She also gets a dog (girl with bone) and snake (long silver-haired girl) which shows to Catrx that she has tolerance with many animals. He eventually warms up to her and gets angry when other animals/pets threats her.
This was also black and white color manga-making practice with SAI.
More manga sketches to come!]]>Manga Katakana & Hiragana Chart by luckylace222urn:uuid:10267d67-af83-6e8f-11cc-5c54c2ea9fa82013-08-11T04:13:13-07:00This took forever; you guys better be happy!
Have you guys ever wondered what those giant symbols in manga when something noteworthy or intense happens? That is usually katakana/hiragana that can sometimes create onomatopoeia (sound words) in Japanese. Thus, instead of this, the sounds can look like THIS.
Since I create manga, it is always nice to have a common katakana chart to use for a more generic manga feel. However, I cannot locate an accursed common katakana chart online, so I gathered translated katakana over my many years of reading manga, and I finally created a chart.
Seriously, this might be the most useful thing I have done for the world in a long time. Time to continue taking up oxygen on the planet accordingly. If anyone who is familar with katakana notices some discrepicies/repetitiveness, please tell me.

He's our maid!" and Hatchi's like "I didn't know you guys cared!" and they were like "Your cooking, cleaning, and housework sucks, but we still love you! You're adorable! And then some of other complicated model chracters complicate the plot, and Hatchi decides to become a main maid with some very very soft modeling on the side.
The end! *gets attacked by everyone*
Hey, 60 pages is the longest I have ever made my mangas. I am only getting higher. I would submit my new manga, but you guys would kill me when I do not finsih it.

I noticed I had some Boku No Hatchi pages on my computer I never submitted, and although THIS MANGA HAS STOPPED PRODUCTION (I have moved on from boy maid mangas to post-apoptalptic mangas for some strange reason), I might as well give you the final punchline, right?
NO ONE SHOULD EVER EXPECT ME TO FINISH MY MANGA. That's like asking me to not do homework. *blood , sweat, & tears*

You do not have to buy all that white, nicely bleached, fancy paper. You just need to pirate obtain Photoshop or some other picture-editing software that can "filter" out unwanted blue/cyan/green. It took me years to figure this out because so many artists do it so many different ways, but I have found this method to be the most effective without making the picture too edgy or saturated.
I have noticed an alarming number of FAC artists submitting lined pictures, and although we do accept lined images if the skill overpowers the lines, there is a chance that new/old artists do not know it is possible to remove the lines.
If you create traditional manga or doodle often in your notebooks, whether with pen or pencil, this method works. Remember that these instructions are based on ballpoint pen on a certain kind of notebook paper, so when editing your own picture, use your own jurisdiction on how much contrast/saturation/etc. to use and not use.

Remember the nerdy kid and English teacher from my Roommate Series? [1][2] Well, back then, Arthur was a total punk that dragged the shy and polite Louis everywhere, including the street fights, and they would end up getting hurt often, which would lead to scenes like this.
Right now, my favorite couple really is them because of their pasts. I LOVE COUPLES WITH PASTS. I feel that the hardest bond to break is the time bond.

Leuchtman
Gary B. Leuchtman is a freakin lawyer/partner for Beggs & Lane specializing in Real Estate, Business, Taxation, etc. practices. Everyone, go stalk the man.
I could have written him a normal written thank-you letter with ballpoint pen, but unfortunately for Mr. Leuchtman, he donated to an art-OCD fanatic that has to glammarize everything, so I wrote quotes on sticky notes and decorated his whole thank-you letter with colors. He will now think twice before funding me again unless he likes giant letters in his mailbox.
EDIT: Today, I just got a $500 Catherine B. Junge scholarship for my Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA) application. These people need to stop giving me stuff; I am just going to use it on drugs, sex, and street-dancing later on.]]>What Should Have Happened at the End of No. 6 by luckylace222urn:uuid:87816eee-5449-247e-dff1-fbb9265813f22013-05-30T03:06:02-07:00*SPOILERS*
If you have watched the ending of the No. 6 anime ( http://www.crunchyroll.com/no-6/episode-1-drowned-rat-581084 ), you would be just as outraged and distraught as I am that Nezumi just up and disappeared, leaving Shion with a defenseless baby in the midst of a revolutionary melting pot between the city and the slums. I have no idea what the author was thinking, but with how much Shion and Nezumi had gone through to fight for equality, I find it way out of character that they would part this way. Plus, they were practically too good together as a quasi-canon shounen-ai couple.
Of course, we fans want to see them SEX IT UP, but I also just kind of want two different revolutionists to help rebuild the city-slum system they "destroyed." It is a big responsibility, but come on! Finish what you started! Or at least a sequel! *puppy dog eyes*

It is actually quite brillant of a detopia anime and even more brilliant of a novel. The two main chracters live in such different worlds and yet find each other as comrades despite literally fighting for two different goals.
I went through a whole obsessive phase about it, so all the sparkles and junk is clear evidence of my fangirlasm.
I drew this picture on a 2 ft. x 1.5 ft poserboard with sharpie, ink pen, Crayola markers, watercolor paint, and whiteout for my friends Gabriela and Stephania, who are somehow biggger fans of No. 6 than I am, and that is saying something.[/url]]]>Buulock & Totusan pg. 1 by luckylace222urn:uuid:a02145b1-28e2-73f9-ec15-992f28a3a7322013-05-28T04:56:44-07:00Sassy star!

This is my and tofuproductionz's Sherlock Holmes-inspired detective roleplaying Internet comic: The Detective Adventures of Buulock and Totusan
Synopsis: Buulock, an incompetent, rash, but hardworking detective, is visited by a celestial tofu being named "Totusan" who says that she was given the divine mission to assist and guide Buulock through her adventures because Buulock is destined, by prophecy, to save the wold one day. They engage in many hilarious mysteries together with Totusan's celestial cat Koji.
tofuproductionz and I cannot get together without thinking up of ridiculous crack ideas and insulting each other, so naturally, we would have thought of something like this sooner or later.
The first chapter is called the "Frantic Fiestco of the Feisty Feast," and tofuproductionz and I will take turns drawing each comic chapter until we get to the plot. IF WE EVER EVEN GET TO THE PLOT. WHAT ARE ARTIST FRIENDS FOR.

This picture was originally just to test FireAlpaca (which is basically a free blend of SAI and PS, you should try it), but the red-headed dumb broad reminded me of all those movie/book/game girls that would leave their poor, sick, and dying friends/family to run away with a guy she "loves." That is sometimes quite unrealistic (especially when the family/friends hint no strong abuse), so we should tie her to the chicken coop.

"Halesia" is a portmanteau of "Hal" and "Elesia."
It was my first commission (commission virgin = getting money for my art is treachery), so I dropped the price to compensate for any mistakes. Sorry, it is so messy. That is my traditional art style when I am like "Oh my goodness, what the heck am I drawing? Am I doing this right? Do I have to fill in income tax for this? Does this affect my college financial aid?"
I liked drawing his commission (it taught me how to draw a wyvern), so I threw in a colored lineart version for him. JUST KIDDING I WOULD HAVE DONE IT ANYWAYS. Look at me, scamming myself.
Still working on art-trades! When they are done, I might just open up commissions to have the false atmosphere that I am serious about my art.]]>Raincloud of Intervention by luckylace222urn:uuid:2639167a-b195-970f-965c-41935cf236042013-01-03T00:13:12-08:00This is a contest submission for orianajones's Cheap Materials Contest. She was having trouble getting contestants, and since the new age for FAC is contests, it was my obligation to help out. -OR it could have been because my art style stems from unbearable cheapness anyway. Go ahead and look at her contest!
I decided to really limit myself, so I used red/black permanent marker, yellow/blue/orange highlighter, red ballpoint pen, and white out on cardboard. The cardboard soaked up the highlighter and even whiteout, so I had to go over the picture with the same colors many times to get a decent effect. ;__;
I remember drawing this picture in an academically depressed mood (I have many of those). Just know that there are many things that can get you down. You just have to be strong enough to overtake them with your own strength and perseverance, no one else's; if you can achieve that, you will get far.]]>Progress Piece (FAC New Year Contest 2012) by luckylace222urn:uuid:2080cc9a-f0ea-2adb-19d0-dbddbdf158b72012-12-31T03:54:27-08:00For once, I actually saved step-by-step progress of one of my pictures, and since my last tutorial was deemed too convoluted/quick, I decided to make a simpler tutorial where logic gaps are inserted on their own, which may make more sense. Please ask any questions about the subtle techniques! I am aware I may actually be a really boring artist with really boring techniques. Next time, I should attempt to draw with my toes.
Art-trades/giftart/contest pieces are slowly being worked on. I do not want to lamely blame it on college, so I will just say my right arm got mauled by a black bear, so I had to relearn to draw with my left hand. Then, my left hand developed gangrene, and I had to teach my feet to relearn all my hands' hard work since the 6th grade.
One of those contacts on the bottom of the tutorial is actually real, but I will not tell you which one. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME I PICKED UP A PEN/PENCIL?]]>FAC New Year Contest (2012) by luckylace222urn:uuid:fc40bab3-8cff-3628-338b-de21d47da3632012-12-24T03:45:38-08:00CONTEST: New Year Kiss
Deadline: January 6, 2013 (CLOSED)
Theme: Is there anything better than kissing someone special on January 1, 2012 from 12:00 AM to 12:01 AM for the new year? 2013 is a clean slate for all of us, especially with academics, friends, family, and careers. A small kiss with someone you trust is a good jumping stone to fulfill your deeper resolutions! Draw yourself, your OC, or something that represents you kissing someone/something for the New Year!
Rules: 1. Only 1 submission per user 2. When January 6, 2012 12:00 AM passes, submissions are closed for the contest. We do not take late work, no matter how good you are. :) 3. No explicit sexuality/violence
Scoring Guidelines: Skill: 40 points
Example: [CLICK HERE] - You can use crafts, digital mediums, traditional mediums(etc.) to express this theme, but you need skill to make it look good! Whatever style you work with, whether anime or realism, make it synchronize with your idea, and your skill will inevitably show.
Creativity: 25 points Example: [CLICK HERE] - Not every New Year kiss works exactly like you planned. Heck, many New Year kisses are surprises from friends or a secret admirer. Would you not want an exciting and not-as-plain kiss? That feeling will hold true for next year too!
New Year Element: 20 points Example: [CLICK HERE] - If you draw a kiss between two people, sure, it is a nice kiss. However, a New Year kiss is mixed with a celebrative air with friends/family watching or fireworks and bright colors coming from the back. Show some form of New Year element in your kiss, and you will get these points.
Colors: 15 points Example: [CLICK HERE] - Fortunately, New Year is not subjected to specific colors. It can be mixed with the passing Christmas (red & green), red and white festive colors, or even the color of your wine. Whatever colors you choose, it still stands that New Year is a festive and COLORFUL time.
Prize: 1rst Place: -Putting your winning picture on the site news/main-page (this will be an alternative to those who still do not completely qualify for featured pictures or are too new to be popular) - Specialized 2012 New Year Contest Winner badge that you can put on your profile
Note: - Send contest information (whether you will enter, questions, links to entries) to either this picture, the forum post, or my profile - There will be 2 judges (luckylace222 & ShadowFalcon) for the contest, and your final score will be the average of our two scores - I will accept near- isses (the lips do not have to touch, but at least have a kissing atmosphere) - You can have as many characters in the picture as you want, just as long as there is a New Year kiss
