Fan Art Friday: Little Bill and April from Little Bill by Bill Cosby and Dorothy Wayneright and Rodger Smith from Big O by Chiaki J. Konaka and Webcomic Update:

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today, I'll be showing you two fan arts, one of them is an anime and the other is a cartoon. It also in book form too.

The first fan art is of Little Bill and April from the cartoon series Little Bill by Bill Cosby. This is another series that I spotted during my teens. It was shown on Nick Jr. I thought that this series was really interesing. The stories were great and also the background music was Jazz. You would have heard a lot of it. It sounded cool. Another thing that sparked interest was that Little Bill talked with the audience. That do not usually happen but he seems really cool. I couldn't help but hug him. Although April was bossy she still was a great sister too. I really enjoyed this series. There was the books that were written by Bill Cosby, I admit I haven't read them but I think they have the same spark as the series too. ;) :

The second and final fan art for today, is of Dorothy Wayneright and Roger Smith from the anime Big O by Chiaki J. Konaka. This series was another show that I saw in my teens. I remember recording the series and giving it to a great friend too. ;) It was hugely based on old films from the west in the 1950's and 1960's. It was mainly a detective story and Roger Smith was a negotiator. There was also a noir feeling to the series too. Dorothy is an Android and she is the side-kick to Roger Smith. The Big O theme song was awesome. I loved it so much. It was was created by Rui Nagi and it certainly drew me to watch the series. It fitted the series very well. The series was itself was produced by Sunrise and there was twenty-six episodes altogether.:

Webcomic Update: The webcomic that I mentioned to you in late January will be up on Monday. Although the welcome front cover is up right now. There will be a mini-welcome front cover up on Sunday before the first comic page on Monday. There will be a post here about it on Monday too.

There will be more fan art next week thank you for visiting and please comment.

My 26th Birthday!

Today I celebrate my 26th birthday! So I thought I share a self-portrait of myself. This picture was done as a pencil sketch then colour was added on Photoshop.
The plushies that I've drawn in the picture are:

Kimihiro Watanuki form XXXhoLic
G-Dragon from the video 'Butterfly'. He's my favourite member from the band BIGBANG.
Tuxedo Mask or Mamoru-Chan from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
Seishirou Sakurazuka from Tokyo Babylom
Suga Shikao who sings the theme songs to all of the xxxHoLic series.

Tomorrow will be Fan Art Friday and I'll be looking forward to showing you more fan art. See you then! (^o^)

Fan Art Friday: Reliving the Teenage Otaku: Yu-Gi-Oh, Tenchi and Pokemon

Helloo! Every One As it is Fan Art Friday today, I thought I'd show a couple that I did during the week during bus and train journeys to work. These drawing are based on the anime and manga that I read and watch in my teens towards early twenties. It was pretty much when I became an Otaku.

The first one is Yu-Gi-Oh. I absolutely adore the first sires involving Yugi Moutou, Over time when I got to find out how the story changes when he meets a range of friends and enemies, I was awed. In my late teen to early 20's I began to read the manga, I'm half way through 6 volumes through Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist (Which was of translated in to English) and I was even more amazed. Reading the story in comic form was inspiring. There were even some parts that left me really scared. (Seriously ^_^!) I encourage you to read the manga. If you can find it, please read it you'll love for sure. I had you use real cartoon images to get it into proportion. The image is split so you'll see Yami Yugi and Yugi Moto:

The next is Pokemon. It was a huge big deal when I was 12. I watched it every Saturday when it was on SM:TV Live and also on Sky One. This was of course the first series. Overtime there were movies and more series to add on to the segment. It's was inspired by the  Nintendo game too. Oh and I drew this from memory.  Here is as Ash:

Lastly there was the anime series Tenchi: Muyo. This was shown on cartoon network, from the late 90's to mid 00's. It was main about a teenage bout called Tenchi who goes into his family shrine and some how revives Ryoko the space pirate. Over time new characters are introduced into the story and also of shenanigans happen between him and these characters. It was split into three series with different stories. These are Tenchi: Universe, Tenchi in Tokyo and another Tenchi GXP. There was also a spin-off called Pretty Sammy. Once of my favourite characters was called Washu, she a scientist and can create a lot thing. She can even create computer viruses too. I did use reference but this was after I tried drew most of if from memory:
