Fan Art Friday: Tien and Chaozu from Dragonball and Dragonball Z by Akira Toriyama, Sailor Uranus from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeuchi, Yotsuba&! by Kiyohiko Azuma and Kazuya Kujo and Victorique de Blois from Gosick by Kazuki Sakuraba (^_^)

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the month of February so far. My apologies if I haven't posted up anything throughout this month. There are things that I'm hoping to show you soon. It will be up. Today I'll be posting four fan arts. All of them were all pencil sketches, the colour was added on Photoshop.


The first fan art is of Tien and Chaozu from Dragonball and also from Dragonball Z. This week I have just finished reading volume 11 of Dragonball and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The arrival of these two characters and how they came into the series intrigued me and I was really amazed how Tien's passion to complete the battle that he's again Goku during the Boudokai Tournament. He yearned to battle his on way with his own strength with no interference. I thought that is cool. Now I've already seen this in the English Dub and this sequence of the story was brilliant too.  These two also appear in DBZ and they are much strong than they are in DB. I felt the need to draw them because they are both amazing characters. Once half of their face is shown here on each side:



















The next fan art is of Sailor Uranus from the manga Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeuchi. She is one of the other Sailor guardians of whom I wanted to draw. I finished reading the 7th volume of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon and her presence in the volume I felt seemed quite shocking.... well to me though. She seem like a very strong character and she seemed like someone of whom I felt need to be proved that she was one of the good guys. I really don't want to spoil what happens but it is a great volume that I've read so far. The next batch of villains introduces are a lot more stronger than the previous one and I sooooo want Sailor Guardians to beat them. I thought I create a galaxy background because this was what I visualised while drawing it. Also this song came to mind while I was adding colour on Photoshop. This is a cover song, I'm sure most of you will know this song as it was part of 2012 London Olympics Closing ceremony. However it was sung by the musicians who released it first. This band is Elbow. There might be a possibility when I'll draw more Sailor Guardians. This is such an AMAZING series:





Another fan art that I would like to show is of Yotsuba&! by Kiyohiko Azuma. He created another series which also very popular. That comic is in a form of a yonkoma. This manga is really really good and hilariously funny. I began reading it back in 2011. Yotsuba is a character who is apparently an orphan. Her adoptive father found her and raised her. I've sort of forgotten how she was found. You'll have to read the manga to find out. (;^_^) She is a girl that it full of excitement and I can honestly say if she was real, I would treat her with a whole bunch of cake and chocolate. She also makes hilarious funny expressions that seem to jump out out. I have had some odd moments where I've laughed out loud. Either on the bus or in a car. As you can see here I wanted to create that same happy and esttic feeling when you read the comic:



















The fourth and final fan art for today is of Kazuya Kuji and Victorique de Blois from the anime Gosick.    When I came back to watching anime, I decided to watch an historical anime. It was recommended by one of work colleagues who convinced me to watch One Piece again. I spent each day during this month watching the remaining episodes and I was astound of how the plot unfolded. Victorique de Blois is some who would know the solution to a mystery that would need solving. But in order to prove that her solution is accurate, certain situations need to unfold. More things regarding mystries are revealed through Kazuya Kujo.  Kazuya Kujo is definitely someone who sticks by Victorique  especially when they are apart. There were some very creepy moments in the anime but I withheld myself from this and kept watching. The anime itself was brilliant and towards the end I was thinking that there should be another series:

























There will be a retrospective view of all the fan art that I've created from July 2013 to February 2014 next week. Thank you for visiting my blog and please leave a comment. (~_^)
