This one is about Kozue's delusions of all sorts of things that cannot (or have not) happened. It doesn't hurt to dream, though, right?
Another pronounciation of the name too. It's read right-to-left, top to bottom.
Daisuke, Kozue, and Kaori belong to me.]]>Nosebleeds by Xahkiurn:uuid:e1193c68-1a74-36e2-c73f-b48f23fbaf172008-08-11T18:35:28-07:00I'm getting anxious about school and drawing in general, so I decided to do something that wouldn't cause any stress: original work. It's in manga format, so it's read right-to-left, but I don't think it matters here.
I also wanted to do pictures illustrating how to pronounce my characters' names. Yeah, it's a little weird >>
Daisuke and Kaori belong to me]]>Or Maybe Chocolate? by Xahkiurn:uuid:7b619982-08bd-c6d5-17b1-c000e93e73812008-07-25T09:22:13-07:00"Or maybe chocolate?"
Finished the partner piece too. Again, I like how it came out, except the text This took about...3 hours. Meant to upload this yesterday, but had some problems

It's the second part of the story related to Sketch 5:
It is now their sophomore year. Sakami has broken up with Kaori at the end of freshman year, saying in her heart, he's not the one she likes. After rejecting Daisuke because of her sister, Kozue, she discovers everything Daisuke has went to to make her happy and finds she has feelings for him. With Kozue's "approval" she tries to get with him. Unfortunately, in their sophomore year, Daisuke and Haruka are together. All Kaori can do is watch him and hope for chance.]]>Sketch 5 by Xahkiurn:uuid:73e9c35b-68da-e777-d4a2-6d522d12efaf2008-06-21T00:58:13-07:00old-ish, and a question if I want to color or not. It has a story to go with it too. It's the first part of a two-parter that ties in with Sketch 6:
In their freshman year, Daisuke likes Kaori. Unfortunately, she likes Sakami, a friend of Daisuke. Daisuke and Iori both think Daisuke can win over Kaori since Daisuke knows that Sakami doesn't like her that way. But he can't bring himself to make her unhappy. Daisuke asks Sakami if he would ever consider asking out Kaori. Sakami says no, but sees it hurts Daisuke to ask this and says he'll do it.
Sakami asks out Kaori much to her delight while Daisuke becomes heartbroken]]>Sketch 4 by Xahkiurn:uuid:761b398a-b3da-e85a-6119-fafc96484f702008-06-20T16:26:17-07:00Original drawing of two of my characters, Daisuke and Kozue.

The Story:
Before I say anything, let me preface this by telling you that I am not a hair dresser, nor do I design dresses…pretty much everything you see here is improvised.
With all that aside, we’ve come to the end of another school year, and when I look back at when I was in school, I can remember that going to the prom was probably my favorite part of High School. I can honestly say that I had a great time there.
My Take:
I really have no idea where to begin here…so why don’t I start with the background? This waterfall idea actually came from the place where my Prom was held (which sadly doesn’t exist anymore). There was an indoor waterfall there which they usually ran for events such as this. Of course it wasn’t anywhere near where the pictures were taken, but why not put it in here? It certainly beats looking at the wall.
I thought about having Gohan’s clothes match Videl’s dress. After seeing how that would look, I quickly changed my mind. Eventually the whole thing would be similar to my own prom picture.
What I Like Most:
Rarely do I give myself this much credit for anything, but I must say…that waterfall came out very nicely…as a matter of fact, I really can’t find something I don’t like here (besides how long it took).
What I Dislike Most:
If I’m not mistaken, I started this one in back in 2006. I tried holding out until May before posting this one, but I kept missing my target date the past two years, I missed again this year, but I decided I wasn’t going to wait until next year to try again.
Final Thoughts:
If you missed out on your prom, I’m sorry…and if you’re planning on missing it…don’t. I had a great time at mine, my friends had a great time at theirs, and I’m pretty sure you’ll have a great time too! You’ve got plenty of time to think about it!
For those of you that are new to my drawings, I use a different style than you are used to. This style is most noticeable when I do DragonBall characters. I have nothing against the original style, but I’m not going to try to be someone that I’m not. I want to have a style of my own.]]>Partners in Danger by Jay-san80urn:uuid:749e7a6a-bf82-538f-99ad-962a17c0aff62008-06-10T06:02:11-07:00Title: Partners in Danger
The Story:
A typical day in Satan City takes a sudden twist as a couple of bank robberies on opposite sides of town catch our heroes by surprise. Eventually we find Sayiaman bound to a tree by Poison Ivy, looking to make his first kiss(?) his last, while Harley Quinn makes faces to everyone. On the other side of town, Sayiagirl has her hands full with Killer Frost, who has frozen both of her hands together, and Giganta looking to take her out from behind. How will they get out of this mess?
My Take:
When you’re in somewhat of a funk as I was, it always helps to go back and start over with things, people, or characters you like. This time, I wanted to try something with a little more difficulty than usual.
As for the actual drawing, I wanted to put our heroes in some difficult situations, so it took a while for me to come up with villains to cause problems for Saiyaman especially. Poison Ivy was the first to come to mind, since she can poison him with a kiss, or put him under her control. I had to have Harley there too, just because...and no it ain't your parents' Giganta on the other side.
What I Like Most:
Trees have never been one of my stronger points, but this tree didn’t come out half bad, actually pretty good if I do say so myself. For the most part, I like how the characters came out as well. I had to make quite a few adjustments with them, but it didn’t affect them too badly.
What I Dislike Most:
It’s been a while since I’ve done any buildings, it looks like I need to go back to the drawing board with them. I wrestled between having outlines and not having them. Eventually the ‘no outline’ decision won the coin toss. As for the other side, the big tree didn’t come out too badly, though I could have thrown a few more leaves around.
Final Thoughts:
I always enjoy doing crossovers like this, because it puts characters in a bunch of new situations. I don't have a bunch of original ideas to throw out there, so always I've felt that things like this are the next best thing.
For those of you that are new to my drawings, I use a different style than you are used to. This style is most noticeable when I do DragonBall characters. I have nothing against the original style, but I’m not going to try to be someone that I’m not. I want to have a style of my own.]]>neko sasuke by my_oriley_factorurn:uuid:0e524400-b3d2-e760-0697-0589153e93eb2008-05-08T11:23:57-07:00. . .]]>Sketch 3 by Xahkiurn:uuid:d62ca292-d37a-6af5-60e2-642c9f6d9f252008-05-04T09:52:35-07:00. . . or Chocolate?
This is part two of Sketch 2. I might combine both when I color them so it's easier to understand.

Question for girls:
Do you prefer flowers? or...
Will be colored later
Haruka belongs to me]]>Sketch 1 by Xahkiurn:uuid:c7e4d925-34f4-5609-13cc-b6badb61b2af2008-05-04T09:50:29-07:00I haven't updated here in forever. I've been real with school work and such and way behind in what to draw. I've been going through a drawing block thing and don't really know what to do.
I thought I should just upload some sketches that I do here and there in the new sketchbook I got. I won't be coloring anything until my new monitor comes in so I can be awed by my awesome new computer. When I get a lag free everything because of those, I'll start coloring these sketches among other things.
Only gonna color Kozue here
Kozue and Daisuke belong to me]]>Mr. Elric by my_oriley_factorurn:uuid:6304196e-d8c1-0d94-b148-9de9466ffc062008-05-02T18:14:10-07:00Done wiff my tablet : 3 I'm really proud of this one!]]>Kira by my_oriley_factorurn:uuid:9df85784-d216-22b2-2cc4-a54e1918da032008-04-27T06:57:24-07:00Umm... yeah.]]>Chibi Neji by my_oriley_factorurn:uuid:ba3fcb59-fff0-27ac-0e71-b31b7c13bc452008-04-24T19:38:45-07:00my first tablet drawing!! done w/ photoshop cs3 ^_^]]>My 'Hime by Jay-san80urn:uuid:4cffab3e-97be-13f3-42c6-7b69e56544972008-04-03T20:01:09-07:00Title: My ‘Hime
The Story:
There really isn’t much of a story to this one…Orihime talking about some other nonsense possibly a TV show, while doing that MAD agent salute from “Inspector Gadget” with her two admirers behind her.
My Take:
I sketched this one in early February, but it somehow vanished off the face of the Earth! Usually I wouldn’t do it over again for a while, but I really liked how this one was going, so I decided I was going to get back to this one right away. I had Kon in there, but I decided to add Chizuru (who provided one of the inspirations for the title) in as well. She and Kon came out ok, but I’m pretty sure not many will be paying attention to them anyway.
What I Like Most:
For a background that only took an hour to do, I think it came out ok…even though one of the windows up front decided not to agree with me. Chizuru came out better than I expected here, and Kon came out pretty decent, but I could have done a little better.
What I Dislike Most:
I don’t really like how this building in front came out…sure it’s at an angle, but it’s still a little to thin for that. For the most part the grass looks pretty decent…for an open field, but for school grounds not that great…I’ll need to mix in some landscaping next time.
Final Thoughts:
This one took longer than I wanted it to, not only did I lose the sketch, I took forever coloring it when it was at that stage. I hope this isn’t going to be a trend that I’ll end up following for the rest of the year.
For those of you that are new to my drawings, I use a different style than you are used to. I have nothing against the original style, but I’m not going to try to be someone that I’m not. I want to have a style of my own.]]>Yura of the Hair by Jay-san80urn:uuid:f14327f2-2a23-2a89-6ed3-d3fa10b7f6872008-03-17T17:21:39-07:00Title: Yura of the Hair
The Story:
Yura of the Hair as requested by :devYuraofhtehairFan:. To me, she comes off to be a seductress, so it wasn’t too hard for me to find a few poses to try with her.
My Take:
I wrestled with a few different poses here, but eventually decided on this one, it was different than any I tried before, plus I can actually see Yura with a pose like this. I don’t usually do night time scenes unless it’s a Halloween drawing, I thought it would be a good idea if I went in that direction for a change.
What I Like Most:
How about that…I got her hands to look decent for a change! It doesn’t happen very often, so I’m pretty happy with that! I also came up with a couple of trees which didn’t come out too badly if I do say so myself!
What I Dislike Most:
I had probably a dozen titles for this one, but none of them were any good. I settled for the character’s name. Looking back, it looks like I had a couple of mishaps when coloring her hair…it doesn’t look too bad, I think I can let it slide.
Final Thoughts:
This is for a friend of mine on DA, to thank him for all his support!
For those of you that are new to my drawings, I use a different style than you are used to. I have nothing against the original style, but I’m not going to try to be someone that I’m not.

The Story:
Yamcha and Bulma have been dating forever…ever since Goku was a kid up until his son was almost that same age. Yamcha, the man once afraid of girls appeared to be afraid of commitment. Eventually Bulma would get tired of all of this and turn her attention elsewhere.
My Take:
A lot of times I like to listen to some old CD’s hoping some ideas will come from that. I happened to find one of my Bone Thugs ‘n Harmony albums, and I heard the track called “Crossroads,” and this is what came of it.
What I Like Most:
I’m surprised with how that “Diana Ross look” that Bulma had came out without much of a problem, I was expecting to have a lot more problems with it than I did. I’m not really great at backgrounds, and this one is no different, however I think it is pretty effective for this effort.
What I Dislike Most:
I tried tweaking the way I did Bulma’s eyes, so they look a little different…they came out ok, but I still prefer the way I did things before. Yamcha gave me a little more trouble than I thought he would…he’s still looking a little odd to me. I guess these things will happen when trying a character for the first time.
Final Thoughts:
For those of you that are new to my drawings, I use a different style than you are used to. This style is most noticeable when I do DragonBall characters. I have nothing against the original style, but I’m not going to try to be someone that I’m not.

Anyway, yeah, in between school work and other things, I found time to draw for myself which I haven't been doing a lot lately. I'll finish this up after I deal with my priorities
original characters Haruka and Kozue belong to me]]>Therefore...Such As... by Jay-san80urn:uuid:ca3c62bb-9cda-65f1-1ecc-5c03f6b395762008-02-13T20:58:22-08:00Title: Therefore…Such As…
The Story:
"I personally believe" that this is nothing spectacular, it’s a drawing of Maron, the girl Krillin once dated, looking out for him in front of Roshi’s house. Besides the fact that Bulma and ChiChi are staring daggers at her, there really isn’t much of a story to this one.
My Take:
I’m not going to lie, there was a young lady from a neighboring state in mind when this idea came up. I’m not trying to pile on or anything…I’m sure the girl was nervous, and it just got away from her. Anyway, I’m reminded of that because I can actually see this character answering a question like that.
What I Like Most:
I know a few of you may be distracted by Maron there, but ChiChi and Bulma appear here as well! I’ve been fond of doing SD characters lately, and they came out well. I was also worried about how the Kame House would come out, but it turned out to be one of the better things about this one. I don’t do too well with backgrounds, so it was nice to get one to come out to my satisfaction without fighting with it too much.
What I Dislike Most:
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get anybody else in besides these three. I wanted this one done quickly, which made this one suffer…but I’m sure not too many will notice
Final Thoughts:
For those of you that are new to my drawings, I use a different style than you are used to. This style is most noticeable when I do DragonBall characters. I have nothing against the original style, but I’m not going to try to be someone that I’m not. I want to have a style of my own.
I can honestly say that I have made some progress in the past couple of years. A few years ago I’d probably be uncomfortable drawing Maron the way she came out here. She didn’t come out perfectly, but we’re going in the right direction.]]>Cover Girl by Jay-san80urn:uuid:8dd8bdec-4504-5e9b-8761-3c70fb0864902008-02-13T20:53:30-08:00Title: Cover Girl
The Story:
After the Cell Games ended, and the World Martial Arts Tournament returned, it turned from an event for fans and spectators, into a whole big media circus. It happened to remind me of a number of these sporting events that go on today.
My Take:
Recently I’ve seen lots of magazine parodies, and I decided that I was going to do one myself. As you may (or may not know), I am a sports fan, so it wasn’t too hard to come up with a magazine to make a parody of. The winner was “ESBN” an obvious parody of ESPN the Magazine.
What I Like Most:
I used another pose from Aaliyah’s calendar, which came out ok. There wasn’t too much time spent sketching this one, and I am satisfied the end product. She ended up coming out a little differently here…her hips ended up tad smaller than usual, didn’t look too bad, and I managed to hide her hands this time around.
What I Dislike Most:
She looks like she’s afraid to be on the cover, which I didn’t really intend to happen, but I’ll live with it. I took longer coloring this one than I wanted to, it was supposed to be done over the weekend, but it ended up lasting through the week. I didn’t think coming with some random crap to write on the cover would take as long as it did.
Final Thoughts:
For those of you that are new to my drawings, I use a different style than you are used to. This style is most noticeable when I do DragonBall characters. I have nothing against the original style, but I’m not going to try to be someone that I’m not. I want to have a style of my own.
I’m not going to have to run down the whole “this is a parody” speech am I? If it’s too much for you to understand, then there really isn’t much hope is there?]]>Jack Skellington by my_oriley_factorurn:uuid:48281be5-c03a-d796-e084-cfd3de73d5482008-01-29T08:03:05-08:00Sharpies... : p]]>Sasuke Uchiha by my_oriley_factorurn:uuid:32936fb3-a0e6-5a6f-bdc7-ec24d58cd1042008-01-29T07:59:14-08:00copic markers....

Dark brown hair/brown eyes
Sister: Kozue
Love Interest: Sakami
Very energetic and friendly to everyone. She’s very supportive of her younger sister and tries to encourage her to try new things. A queen of all trades, she is admired by all to the point of even jealousy. She’s very dependent and has a great figure, but is not shameless about it. With her friendly attitude, Daisuke has been able to act more naturally around girls.

Brother: Zack (Older)
Love Interest: Daisuke
A proper, smart, and beautiful girl, she's always in the shadow of her perfect brother. She has impeccable manners and while doesn't appear it, shy around people. She tries to hide this with a happy attitude in public. Deep down, she's very insecure about herself and isn't so fast to trust others. Her meeting with Daisuke opened up a real happier attitude in her life. This made Daisuke the first person she's ever been able to really open up to. This also lead to varying degree of jealousy for him while they are still not official.]]>Light Up the Mood by Xahkiurn:uuid:26d82615-18b0-d383-911e-69585fba37152007-12-31T21:29:40-08:00"real" version, as of the beginning of the series

Sister: Kaori (Older)
Love Interest: Daisuke
Not the most worldly of people, Kozue is very shy. She's not too well talking with boys, and only fairs slightly better with other girls. What her sister, Kaori, is good at is what she seems to lack. Kozue is short, easily emotional, and has no figure, a thing she envies her sister about. This in turn makes her very insecure about herself. Still, she's packed with surprises and potential. She's also a great cook, which compliments her mysterious love for food and no weight gain. She's come to the conclusion that she loves Daisuke for his unconditional kindness that he constantly showers her with. While she's a bit clumsy and constantly shows a proper girl, she's a bit perverted and often imagines weird thoughts about her and Daisuke.]]>Rock It by Xahkiurn:uuid:e22aadd6-9b79-b229-3c61-272161f7ae392007-12-31T10:09:31-08:00The finished version of one the sketches I put up.

Main character. Muscular physique and decent in most things, but zero confidence. He follows his morals and shows an unconditional kindness and politeness to all except very few. Even then, he’s very insecure and always views things in a negative situation. If he doesn’t hope for the best, he can not be disappointed. He’s very much new to talking with girls, spending his Jr. High and lower years too shy to talk to them.]]>Naruto-kun by missFangirl3432wheeurn:uuid:197eced8-dfb5-2943-abb8-e06ea20b23852007-12-30T15:27:40-08:00Naruto From the cover of the game Naruto Clash of Ninja: Revolution (c)

The Story:
That's right clones, it's about that time of year again! What better way to get into the Holiday spirit, (and the drawing spirit for that matter), than to start with a Holiday drawing? Here we have the group of wives, girlfriends, or acquaintances holding on to small plushie forms of their men.
My Take:
Due to a very busy couple of weeks, I wasn’t able to finish a new drawing for 2007. I decided I’d go with the next best thing…a revision of the one from last year. I made the characters slightly smaller so that the drawing wouldn’t take too much space, so that they would fit into the drawing better, and so I could have more room to write “Happy Holidays” at the top. Overall, I think this one came out very nicely as compared to last year’s offering.
What I Like Most:
I wanted everyone to have a different outfit, so I came out with a few outfits…which didn’t really make the cut, so I decided to go with some that I’ve seen somewhere else, and a couple I mixed together. Their hair came out much better than I had hoped, I especially took my time in that area. Lunch’s outfit was changed, and I added some snowflakes to the background.
What I Dislike Most:
I wasn’t quite satisfied with the way Bulma’s face came out, she kinda looks older than I wanted her to look. I had to “recycle” the little plushie guys, because it was just take too long for me to color them each individually…I still have shopping to do after all. I still can’t get those hands right!
Final Thoughts:
For those of you that are new to my drawings, I use a different style than you are used to. This style is most noticeable when I do DragonBall characters. I have nothing against the original style, I just wanted to have a style that was different than everything else.
Although this was merely a revision of last year’s drawing, all the changes made it look much better than it did last year. I still had some fun with it, although I'm sure Tien and Vegeta would disagree.

The Story:
I’m sure you’ve heard that old saying, a saying pretty much applies to most of the characters in this series. The way I see it, there are two characters that change the most, one of them being Shinobu (drawn here), in the beginning was one of those shy girls, but by the end she’s completely changed inside and out!
My Take:
I recently took a vacation from work, but I promised one of my co-workers that I wouldn’t come back without drawing something. I wanted to try drawing someone I haven’t tried before. Since I recently (finally) finished the Love Hina story (after about 3 years), I decided I’d go in that direction. In a last minute decision, I decided to add the “Mystery Student” that appeared in that spring special.
What I Like Most:
I really like how this pose came out, it’s more or less a pose from one of Aaliyah’s calendars. The background ended up being a last minute decision, and I didn’t spend that much time with it, but it still came out nicely.
What I Dislike Most:
I think I took as much time with her hair alone as I did with the rest of this project, and I’m still not 100% satisfied with it. This background is pretty plain as well, I tried a few things with it, but there really wasn’t anything much that I could do with it. You know the story, I don’t really think I need to address this area this time.
Final Thoughts:
Being that this is Thanksgiving Day, I’ll just say, Happy Thanksgiving to you and all of your families!]]>Demon Slayer Sango by Jay-san80urn:uuid:67e60a31-3f86-d55e-4967-544dc2e66f262007-11-12T22:13:32-08:00Title: Demon Slayer Sango
The Story:
This is just a basic drawing of Sango. I can’t really think of a story for this one.
My Take:
Looking at this one was really starting to bother me, so I decided it was time for an update on this one, I even managed to take a shot at Kilala (Kirara..."220, 221 whatever it takes)." Anyway, I'm not very good with animals, but I think she came out ok here.
What I Like Most:
I must say, this effort is 200% better than the last time I did this one, and this effort with the background is definitely impressive (if I do say so myself). I’m very pleased with how this grass came out as well, and the way I managed to progressively get it blurred as it goes farther away.
What I Dislike Most:
I could have left the sword out but for some reason I just had to put it in…but my main gripe with this one is that the tree that I tried so hard to put in there was giving me too much trouble. I ended up pushing it off to the side where only the leaves were showing. I probably could have done better than I did with the leaves...but hey, I had a football game to get back to!
Final Thoughts:
Whenever I run out of ideas, I like going back over some older drawings. For the most part it’s to see how much I’ve improved, but also to keep myself busy when I can’t get anything started.

The Story:
I can’t really think of a story for this one. I haven’t tried a character from IkkiTousen in a while, so I figured I’d try now while I’m on vacation.
My Take:
A very good friend of mine really loves this character, as a matter of fact Ryomou is her favorite character from this series! I didn’t really want this one to be “just another drawing,” so I at least went looking around for poses that I wanted to try. I ended up finding a picture of Janet Jackson, and tried the pose I saw. This didn’t come out too badly if I do say so myself.
What I Like Most:
How about that! I didn’t really have too much trouble with her hands which is a regular trouble spot for me. The aforementioned pose came out very nicely as I hoped!
What I Dislike Most:
This didn’t really come out too badly, I just wasn’t able to come up with a background for this one, plus I had a couple shading issues this time.
Final Thoughts:
Overall I’m very pleased with the way Ryomou came out here. Unfortunately I couldn’t really think of a background to go along with her, but it’ll have to be something I need to live without.]]>
