Fan Art Friday: Elena by Aohitsuki and ShopFox 2

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! As this is the last Friday of the month of July, here are the final two fan arts for this month. One of them was a pen sketch and the other was a response to another fan art that I created a couple of months ago.

The first fan art is a competition entry for a competition that is being held on DeviantArt. The contest is being held by Aohitsuki. The aim for the contest is to do your own interpretation of her own original character Elena. I decided to draw her on by herself. She is wearing a shirt with a easy-to-put-on corset. This is included with jeans and boots. Limited colours have been added. For the background of this drawing, I wanted to be as creative as I can be. I'm very pleased with the results.:

The second and final fan art for today is the second ShopFox fan art. This website was created by a friend of mine who has travelled around the world and has also created a website dedicated to the coffee shops in crouch end. The same colours as the last drawing, have been use for this drawing, however they have been altered. I wanted a starry background for this drawing. There have also been changes in this drawing too. I hope you like them.:

As I mentioned in my last post. I've been contemplating whether or not to continue. I decided............to keep going for another year. I might stop halfway within February to do another retrospective from this month and beyond. There's a lot more fan art that I would like to create and show.

There will be more fan art next Friday. Thank you for visiting and please leave a comment. ;)

Fan Art Friday: Competition Entries

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be posting up one fan art. This is for a competition. Both of them were created as pencil sketches then changed and improved on photoshop.


The first one is of a crime fiction called the Hattrick Detective By InkyRose. I read a case from this series sometime last year. I really enjoyed it and I thought I do something based on the series. One of the stories that I read was called 'The case of the Tear-away Train. The very first pencil sketch wasn't to my best interest so I decided to work even more hard to complete it in it's first stages. Although you see here is the completed version, the pencil sketch was a success.
This version took me most of the afternoon until 8pm on sunday. It was worth every moment:

There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting my blog and please leave a comment.

New Competiton: Manga Jiman 2010: Part One

A new Manga Jiman competition has now begun, so I have now decided to enter again but this time I might enter more than one entry. The first one, will be based on a past memory* of Kylan, who is one of the bullies who abused Petra.

This is how he would be visualised as a child and in his late teens I also have created various facial expressions that will be used for the comic:

*I thought of that this will be necessary because this entry, because I yearned to do something in a boy's point of view so this entry is heavily based about him.

Competitions 2009/2010

During this month, I have submitted some images for some competitons that were are around one of them is on a website called Life Support. This is how it looked like:

This entry is based on the ways that you can benefit from the recession.

You can vote for this image here. Thanks for your vote! ^_^

Another competition, is called the Kiseki Competition. Kiseki is a magazine in South Australia that reviews works on Manga and Anime drawings. The competition is international, so you can check it out and see if you can submit.

Here is my Entry:

This entry is based on how human relationships can begin from a strong foundation, for example it begins from the roots and grows into a tree. The couple shown here symbolises this.

Another competition that I have also entered was called the Manga Jiman competition that has taken place last year. All entries had to be based on 'The Sun' Since Japan is the first country to have the sun. My Entry was based on a girl called Rae, who tries to catch the sun. Here is how the protagonist is visualised:

The book will be published, with the help of a friend called Chris Bottoms. Who is a self- published artist in comics.

Finally after the Manga Jiman competition, I asked for some feedback from some of the Judges. This was from a well known comic book artist called ILYA.
