Hope I got that right...

Was supossed to be a pic for valentines day but then I missed it so I had to submit it late.]]> Dreaming in color by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:506d42b1-cad1-61ee-6d25-7240697af2ca 2010-02-12T10:10:42-08:00 Dreaming in colorWas it only by dreaming or writing that I could find out what I thought?
-Joan Didion

This is an older version of the picture I posted before. It does not having as many details in the lineart.]]> Dreaming by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:f942ee68-e714-10c4-705a-ef19cc70633d 2010-02-04T04:53:24-08:00 Dreaming
I feel like I have not submitted anything in awhile...

Drawn in ink and markers.

This picture took more then one sitting to draw. It took more like eh six? Took a bit of time...

More of an anime feel to this one. I resisted the desire to lay as much shading and texture on the skin as I do on more realistic ones.

Also the glasses are awesome.

I used to have some like that but one of the lense fell out so I put an eyepatch over that eye to wear it so it would still work. That only worked for a day before some one threw them away behind my back out of embarrassment.

They were also bright green and I got em for free... Ah good times!

Tadah!

Inspired by pop artists like Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera, also a bunch of other stuff I found on the internet.

I drew in the girl first, but it looked way too plain so I left it alone for a while before coming back and adding in the other images. It was a long project.

Have not thought up a name for it yet or drawn the cover page so I'll prolly go back back delete this and submit it in order.

Also I may change the last panel since two background kind of shots seem a bit much...]]> Character two by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:daa8edb5-8056-c043-c1b1-0a81de9f4292 2010-01-08T15:28:56-08:00 Character two
Opposite of character one.

I don't know why I decided to draw in his ear from now on it will be hidden behind his hair. I dislike drawing ears.
-_-

A friend of mine says he has an ugly hairdo and I should change it. Should I?
]]> Character one by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:4b686fb0-dd3e-6dbd-73ee-701252138f1b 2010-01-07T17:33:57-08:00 Character one
Character for an original manga I'm planning to submit here. He doesn't get a name because it's going to be a silent one so there isn't much of a need. (unless some one comes up with a fantastic name.)

It will be only about 5-10 pages. Nice and short and finishable. I can always expand on it later if I like.

I'm going to put myself as advanced on the skill level thing. Does that do anything by the way? *shrugs*

Oh look a mayfly! *runs off to chase it*
]]> Back to the basics by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:b3224e80-7395-845b-d5a7-7d992a983edf 2010-01-07T17:20:51-08:00 Back to the basicsI actually drew this the same day I submitted it.

Drawn in pencil, which I hardly use any more thanks to photoshop. A friend of mine told me I was going to forget how to draw with a pencil so I'll likely be submitting more pencil work from now on.

Started out as a guy, but then started to look like a girl. My friend (the same friend) said that it's too ugly to be a girl though, and yet I do not think it makes a good boy. Your thoughts on that is welcome...

The hand isn't on backwards it's his/her lefthand reaching across the body, you just cant see the whole arm or the elbow.

Edited on photoshop. -_- I couldn't help it I'm addicted...]]> No title by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:ececbd32-e557-97dd-8773-66105f334d66 2010-01-05T19:31:23-08:00 No titleThe graceful Georgian streets and squares, a series of steel engravings under a wet sky.
Shana Alexander

I like that quote.

Please note the eyelashes. They took the most time. The blur tool was very helpful in fixing all the mistakes. I need to stop using it so much. -_-

Didn't spend half as much time on the shirt and neck. Doesb't look as good.]]> Drew it in the car by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:a9940a4d-a459-33d2-95b9-4ba8d66757b0 2010-01-04T16:41:33-08:00 Drew it in the carI drew it in the car. Every time we hit a pothole it ruined the picture. It was reaaaaalllly difficult. Also made me carsick...]]> Panel art page by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:b9359dd7-aaca-75e1-acf2-02bfb2cf034c 2010-01-03T17:02:53-08:00 Panel art pageLike the title says.

This is older work, which I guess you can tell by the style. It's nice to be able to submit work here to have a copy of things, because I accidently delete a lot of my own pictures.

Just a dialogue scene.

Add in your own words I suppose...]]> Black and white 陰 by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:d1859831-95a4-2900-e196-5590ec0aae11 2009-12-17T11:43:55-08:00 Black and white 陰Only after [the One] is acted upon will it begin to penetrate [through yin and yang]. Without the two forces there cannot be the One.

-Chang Tsai,(1020-1078)

This picture took a long time.

I tried basing it off the yin yang symbol. It came out pretty well. I spent many hours looking over Chen-Shu-Fen and Pin-Fan art, to try to get the same sort of effect. You should look them up if you don't know of them, because they are fantastic!

]]> Captive by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:35276240-b573-a1b9-3167-679c858cdc62 2009-11-27T16:22:41-08:00 CaptiveOn n'aime que ce qu'on ne possède pas tout entier.

(We love only what we do not wholly possess.)

-Marcel Proust, La Prisonnière (1871-1922)


I only used the qoute for inspiration. I heard it a long while ago, and it just occured to me, while I was working on this picture, to look it up.]]> No title by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:464b02a7-1752-6fed-68f7-0284843574bd 2009-11-21T20:04:10-08:00 No titleI spent months on this one. Still have some things I'd like to fix on it. Maybe I'll fix them and repost...

Stand by for the description update!]]> Girl with hat by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:87513ee2-9310-5a1b-9e61-4209ac7b0c3a 2009-11-08T09:17:36-08:00 Girl with hatOld work. Just thought I'd submit it so that when I inevitably lose it on my computer I can still find it on here.

I originally drew this on lined paper, and that makes it really bothersome to photoshop.

I like purple.]]> Title is missing by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:f277d3d8-abf6-4204-0692-8065a4111214 2009-10-30T05:12:49-07:00 Title is missingI do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
-Zhuangzi

This took a long time and I'm not even sure if I like the butterflies up there.
Oh well they're there now so I guess I'll keep them!
This is actually based off someone I know. Drew it for him for random fun since it jut so happens that the total of people in my class that like anime manga and anything art related to them are just us.
This of course means that they're all most likely closet otaku of some sort...

Drawing the tongue gave me fits.

Here's the older version I did a while ago:

It's fun to compare improvement. Funny how they don't look too alike though.]]> Xclahmaeshun Mark! by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:f24ad990-8e6d-533f-c750-6e70e41cd784 2009-10-25T19:11:43-07:00 Xclahmaeshun Mark!*Shrug*

Yes it is a picture of a nude guy running from a rainbow.

I did this in less than 30 min.]]> More junk! by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:4877cefd-d0a5-202b-950e-650b7a8bb91f 2009-10-18T16:16:24-07:00 More junk!"Alfalfa."

At least that's what I think he's saying.

Again doodled (quickly) in class then photoshopped later.

This is a poem by her and the one I based the picture after:


1 - Lend me your Wings




as i caress your cheek

gently putting my forehead to yours



i saw the whole fantasy

in your eyes

with the scent of your love to my

breath



i saw two hearts

tied to each other

iced over was one

and warm and loving as the other



i could gently kiss those sweet lips

of yours

letting our tongue dance in the

dark..

i could hold your warm body,

close to mine

never wanting to let go



just gimme a chance to say,

"i love you"

so you know that i care

i'll never leave you

so you know that i'm here



don't push me away

don't tell me to go

lead me to where out hearts will

meet

lend me your hand

and i'll lend you my wings]]> No title by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:86bdf1b6-d90f-6b7a-290c-80e998cd1c62 2009-10-12T10:32:24-07:00 No titleAn eye for an eye, and the whole world would be blind.

I hope you like it.

I wasn't quite sure what to draw you.]]> Feeling a little loopy by Takahashi2Oki urn:uuid:fee9f783-64be-9951-8129-75d8a8ed61fc 2009-10-08T20:51:39-07:00 Feeling a little loopy@_@


You can't see me!


I drew this with my left hand on paint.

I feel so accomplished now.]]>
