Fan Art Friday: Hiei and Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho by Yoshihiro Togashi

Happy Fan Art Friday everyone! Today I will be showing you two drawings. Both of them were made using watercolour paints. Both of these characters were villains in the manga and anime but they both change within the series. Plus I will be reading volume 15 and I am very excited. (^_^)

The first drawing is of Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho. He was certainly one of the villains that was quite shocking. Particularly since I read this series back in my teens. But I admit he is very interesting. This is due to the fact of his many reappearances in the series and what Botan and Koenma have to do to get him to help. It's quite hilarious. Plus he grows much stronger from his first appearance in the series.

I drew Hiei in a much more older form but I am quite happy with it. 



The second and final fan art for today is of Kurama who was also another villain of the series but just as interesting like Hiei. His background story as to how he became into his human form was quite nice too. He appearance in the anime and manga are both intriguing. I already like him as a character and he immediately became another favourite character that I really liked a lot.

I drew him here in his human form and just like the previous drawing I'm happy with it.



I really don't want to give an details of what happens in this series for I think that it would be great if you read the manga or watch the anime to find out. It really is great.

There will be more fan art next week. Thanks for visiting and please write a comment.

Fan Art Friday: Interpretations of the Sun and Night

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today's drawings are interpretation of something that you see every day. It is also based on some that I saw when I was very young. They were both made using watercolour paints and a 0.9 red lead in a mechanical pen.

In the 90's there was several adverts that showed various examples of how the weather can be shown through people. This advert was created by a company called Powergen. The adverts were shown before the weather appeared to people across the country. 

So here is my way of homage to these brilliant adverts. 

My first drawing is an interpretation of the sun. I decided to draw her in a dress that is a lot similar to a ball gowns. She also has a hat too. I'm quite impressed of how the sun came out. (:D)








The second and final final fan art for today is an interpretation of the night. I wanted to imagine this person running through the sky as it gradually changes. Hence the various blues that you can see in this drawing. (;D)

Fan Art Friday: The Powerpuff Girls by Craig McCracken

Happy February and Happy Fan Art Friday. Today I will be showing only one fan art today. This fan art was made using watercolour paints and a mechanical pen with 0.9 red lead.

Today's fan art is about a cartoon network programme called The Powepuff Girls by Craig McCracken. This programme came around during the years of my preteens and around the time it was on TV it was part of a segment called 'Cartoon Cartoon'. The show is about three girls called Buttercup, Blossom and Bubbles who were created using a children's nursery rhyme called 'What are little girls made of'. The person who made these girls were called 'Professor'. I don't think I can remember him having a name. After adding the ingredients into the mixture he accidentally adds one more ingredient. This is called "Chemical X".  The mixture then explodes and then the girls are then created. It's still one of the programmes that I can still remember that made me laugh and also dance. There was also a narrator who was absolutely hilarious. He would always made me laugh. Each cartoon were incredibly short, I assume around 15 minutes, but it was still incredibly awesome. I still kept watching the series even in my teens. I also adored the ending theme song. There was one episode that I can remember that had a song that had the phrase 'A signal in the sky'. The song was pretty awesome and it was a similar to music from the sixties. The episode that had this song involved a new neighbour that was going to live next to where the girls lived.

The drawing that I have made uses the colours that the girls wear and also a green background with spirals.

Fan Art Friday: Big Bird from Seasame Street by Sesame Workshop

Happy Fan Art Friday everyone! Today I will be showing one fan art. This is very old but still remembered and also a favourite.

This fan art is of Big Bird from the programme Sesame Street which is produced by Sesame Workshop. This drawing is a response to the Sesame Street character Elmo. Big Bird is another character that I really like and enjoyed when watching the series when I was young. He was another character that surly have and will always make me smile. Two weeks ago I watched a movie that was about Big Bird in Japan. This movie was recommended by a friend of mine. When I watched it, I was very intrigued and also quite excited. The programme was made back in the 80's and it is really obvious as you can see the dress sense of most of the people. Although it has been a fortnight that I have seen it a thought came to mind and I felt inspired to do a drawing. I'm very pleased with the results.

Fan Art Friday: The Pink Panther by Friz Freleng, Blake Edwards & Hawley Pratt

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone. There will be one fan art that I will be showing you for today. This drawing was a red pencil sketch. Next I used watercolours and black pen for the outline.

This fan art is of the cartoon character The Pink Panther. This character was created by three people. They are Friz Freleng, Blake Edwards & Hawley Pratt. I am very familiar with the cartoon series which appeared back in the 60's and also in the 90's. I knew of the cartoon series from the 60's because it appeared in the 90's and the early noughties. 

Both series were really good and what was also pretty cool. In the earlier episodes the pink panther never talked but in the 90's version he did and I thought that was awesome. There were also new characters introduced in the 90's as well as the other known characters the ant and the aardvark and Inspector Jacques Clouseau. The theme songs were pretty good too. The older series had an immense sense that it was part of the past and the 90's cartoons version was a remake of the original theme by Henry Mancini. It's probably the theme song that I never had forgotten and what I can associate with this character.  

I have drawn the Pink Panther winter clothes because I yearned to make a huge sense of the season which is currently present. As of yet it hasn't snowed yet but it is cold chilly and windy. :D :

Fan Art Friday: Curious George by Hans Augusto Rey and Margret Ray and Ducktales by Carl Barks and Disney

Happy New Year! Happy January and Happy Fan Art Friday! Today I'll be posting two drawing of cartoons. One of then I spotted sometime within my early twenties and the other I had watch when I was young. I made these drawings using colouring pencils.


The first fan art is of Curious George. I was quite intrigued about this cartoon because it has become a movie and also there have been books based on him. Every episode was very interesting and I felt personally that George was trying and exploring new things. This is more like what a child would be like. I also like the narrator of the story mostly because he made explained what George was doing in a cool way. I liked the theme song as it viewed how George was going from one place to another within a small set of scenes. In this drawing I decided to portray George dancing and moving about.


The second and final drawing for today is of the main characters from the 1980's cartoon Disney cartoon Ducktales. This was a brilliant and awesome cartoon that I really enjoyed. The cartoon was about Scrooge Mc Duck and his nephews Huey, Leuey and Dewie. This cartoon was a very dramatic and I felt quite emotional. There was one episode where a female villan made counterparts of the main characters. Her plan would have been so successful. There are also episodes where Donald Duck makes an appearance in the series too. This made me smile. There was also a movie to go with the series too and it was just as awesome as the series.

Fan Art Friday: Whybird and Poppy the Cat from Playdays by Cynthia Felgate

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today there will be only one fan art. The drawing was thought of a couple of months back. I felt that now would be a good time to draw and show it to you now.

The fan art that I'll be showing is of Whybird and Poppy the cat from the Children's programme Playdays created by Cynthia Felgate. This was a show that I watched in my early childhood. I absolutely adored it. It was shown on BBC One on CBBC (back in the 90's it was known as Children's BBC). It was shown everyday and what was significant about each day was that the Playbus stopped at different bus stop. In the case of these two characters shown below, there was the Whybird Stop where Whybird would be seen in the lost and found room finding things also she would have a Why-tech computer which would should how items seen in the room was made. Different characters were introduced like Poppy and also another character called Peggy. There was an episode that I can remember where Whybird goes to the Whytech and finds out how crisps were made. I then automatically serves crisps to the her and the other characters.

There was another stop called the Poppy Stop. This segment introduced Poppy the cat. The episode that I can remember from Poppy's Stop was when Poppy had a whole bunch of sweets. She ate somewhere within the beginning of the episode, she then eats the rest of them within interval and at some point gets very ill. That's all I can remember from the series but I admit it was very interesting to watch. This was a show that I think would always remember as it was always fun to watch when I was young. I was quite saddened when it ended as I grew up watching the show. I decided to put on Christmas headbands for both of them to represent C Here's the drawing:

Fan Art Friday: William Hampton & Jane Tillney from A Slight Miscalculation by Deb Marlowe, Amelia and Harry from London Underworld by Rebecca Burgess & Aya of Yop City by Marguerite Abouet and Illustrated by Clemént Oubrerie

Happy Fan Art Friday everyone! Today I'll be showing you three fan arts. I have used coloured inks for all of these drawings. Two of them has a brown background. This was made using tea.


The first fan art is of William Hampton and Jane Tilney from A Slight Miscalculation by Deb Marlowe. This short novella is part of a series called the Half Moon House. William Hampton finds the Half Moon House after his astronomy calculation is solved. I was very intrigued that astronomy was featured it drew me into the story. The drawing consists of three pictures. Two of them of how I conveyed these two characters in profile and the last drawing shows where they are positioned. I enjoyed making this drawing as I did reading it.  While reading this novel, the picture came to mind. It is actually of a scene that takes place in the novel. I quite impressed with it:


The next fan art is of Amelia and Harry from London Underworld by Rebecca Burgess. I bought the graphic novel from the London Comic Con in October this year. I was fascinated that there was a comic that was set in Victorian England. Amelia who is part of the upper class gets bored of her high class status and decides to have some fun with the help of Harry and his gang. There was a lot humour and there was drama in the comic too. Rebecca has portrayed the characters in the story was really well.  I really liked Ameila and Harry in the comic:



The third and final fan art of today is of Aya from the comic of the same title. It was written by Marguerite Abouet and illustrated by Clemént Oubrerie. I first read the first volume when I was in my second or third year at uni and during this week I found the next volume at my local library. The story is set during the 1970's in Cote D'Ivoire bust somehow I felt this comic series definitely revelent for today. The comic frees itself from the way Africa is portrayed in the media. Aya who is the main character of the story has a dream to become a doctor. As she is in this process of making her dream a reality, her friends and family also go through things and situations that are very much relevent today as it was back in the 1970's. I felt pleased to read this comic again after a couple of years that I have read the first volume and I feel very convinced that Aya would certainly achieve her dream. I have yet to read the rest of the series but I think that it is going to be very interesting.:

Fan Art Friday: Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont and Movie by Disney and Hello Kitty by Sanrio (Birthday Special 1/2)

Happy Fan Art Friday! Today is my birthday and to celebrate there will be another post that I will post shortly after this one. Today I'll be posting two fan arts. They both have the same theme background. 

The first fan art is of Cogsworth from the movie Beauty and the Beast. I love watching this movie when I was young and I really adored most of the characters in this film. I loved the music and the story as well as the animation. Another awesome thing was that it was set in France. Cogsworth was someone who like to put order to things but it wouldn't work. He's quite funny too. I really loved that he was a grandfather clock. Plus somewhere in the beginning where he's introduced I loved the way he was lifted and moved about. I won't say by which character. In case you might already know.  Drawing this picture gave back memories when I watched the movie. The Beauty and the Beast series didn't end there. There were another two movies introduced. They were released on video back then. It was awesome seeing familiar characters back again. Here's the drawing:




The second and final fan art of today is of Hello Kitty by Sanrio. I came across Hello Kitty when I was in school. One of my friends had stationary. As I learnt more about Hello Kitty I found out that there is a huge theme park in Japan which is  based on her and the other Sanrio characters. I would love to go there someday. I decided to draw her in a dress that I made up myself and use the same stars on her dress as well as the background. I'm very impressed with it.:



There will be more fan art next week. Please look out for the next post about my birthday. Have a great weekend. :D

Fan Art Friday: Susan from Smokey Digital Seahorse written by Richy K.Chandler and Illustrated by Steve Horry

Happy Fan Art Friday everyone! Today I'll be posting one fan art today. This drawing was in pencil then it became a digital drawing on Photoshop.


The fan art is of Susan from Smokey Digital Seahorse. It's written by Richy K. Chandler and illustrated by Steve Horry. The comic is part of the Tempo Lush Tales collection that Richy has written. I loved this story it made me smile encouraged to make a fan art. In this drawing Susan is seen wearing a dress from the sixties also boots that you can see slightly from the bottom of the drawing. When I saw Susan in the comic I immediately visualised her wearing sixties clothes. I assume it was because if her hairstyle. I also created a autumn leave background which suited this season. I hope you like the drawing.:

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.

Fan Art Friday: The Chocolate Show 2014, Lucy the Octopus and Tim from Not Going to Wondonia by Richy K. Chandler & Illustrated by Karen Rubins

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be posting three fan arts. One of them is based on an event, the other two is of stories that was written and drawn artists that I've met earlier this year. They all have the same background


The first fan art is of The Chocolate Show. I will be working there as a steward today at this show. I'm not sure of what to expect but I'm very excited. I decided to create this drawing of the three types of chocolate that I've eaten. This is Dark, Milk and White Chocolate. I thought that I'll express this in form of the characters that I've made at random in this drawing. I think this show is a family-based show so there might be a lot of children present. This might be very interesting. Another reason as to why I made this drawing is that this week is also National Chocolate Week and the show is to represent the climax.:


























The next fan art is of the comic strip Lucy the Octopus by Richy K. Chandler. The comic strip has been going for quite a while and it's really good. I first met Richy at the Cartoon Museum earlier this year. He was teaching a class about comics and when we spotted each other. He showed me some of his issues of Lucy the Octopus and I was intrigued. He also done a Launch party of this comic and another two comics that he had written. One of stories is a fan art have a look after this drawing.:



















The third and final fan art for today is of Tim from the story Not Going to Wondonia by Richy K. Chandler. The story was illustrated by the comic artist and illustator Karen Rubins. This story is part of a series of stories in an anthology called Tempo Lush Tales. All of them were written by him and illustrated by various of artists. This story is very interesting, Tim is a very humorous character he gets to learn about responsibility in a awesome way. Tim is portrayed here in the style of how he is visualised in the comic. I hope you like. If you would like to order some of Lucy the Octopus and Tempo Lush Tales then click here.:

Fan Art Friday: Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin by A.A Mile and Disney & Fabian and Iselle from A Pocketful of Clouds by Morag Lewis

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be posting two Fan arts. Both of them were pencil sketches then changed on Photoshop. Both drawings have the theme of blue sky and clouds.

The first fan art is of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin. I grew up watching the series when I was very young and it is another childhood favourite. The series of when I first saw them both was called 'The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'. The series was fun to watched and I loved theme song. I came across the books much later in my childhood. Also I had a video tape that included not only these two characters but also some of the other characters. The name of the cartoon was called "Winnie The Pooh and the Blustery Day'. What was awesome about this cartoon was because in the beginning where the credits were shown, Christopher Robin's room was created into reality. Of course it was just for the video but. It did spark my imagination back then and I remember as if I saw it yesterday.  There was a book version of the cartoon too.:


























The second and final art work for today is of Fabian and Iselle from the webcomic 'A Pocketful of Clouds' by Morag Lewis. I have been reading the webcomic for quite a while and I thought that it would be great to create another fan art of this comic. I don't want to give to much away of these two characters but these two are siblings. If you would like to have a look at the webcomic click here. The drawing is portrayed differently to what I thought of. But either way I'm happy.:

Fan Art Friday: Garfield by Jim Davis

Happy October, Happy Black History Month and Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be showing only one fan art today. This fan art was a pen sketch then modified on Photoshop.

Today's Fan art is about the comic strip and cartoon series Garfield by Jim Davis. I came across this series back in the 90's. It was a show that I really enjoyed thoroughly.  There were many other funny and exciting characters in the series but Garfield will always be my favourite. I loved the concept that Garfield was not like any other cat. I loved the fact that he ate all kinds if food that humans would eat. I loved the fact that he loved lasagne. I remember while I was at my auntie's house a couple a months ago I saw the new version of Garfield and I was very surprised to see it in 3D. I thought it was good and it's quite nice to show to a new generation of kids. Here's the drawing. I hope you like it:

Fan Art Friday: Pokemon by Satoshi Tajari & Nintendo

Happy Fan Art Friday everyone! I hope you've had a brilliant week. Today's drawings will be about some new and old drawings of the anime and game Pokemon. I'm sure a lot of you are aware of how much it has expanded since it has first began back in the mid-90's. Both the anime and game are really good.

I came across the anime first back in 1999. It was shown on SM:TV Live and the plot always excited me. What appealed to me was not only the art but the stories that were revealed in every episode. I remember the arrival of Ash Kechum and Pikachu as well as the arrival of his competitor who was always a step ahead of him Gary. 

This was the second anime that I spotted after the Tenchi Muyo/Universe series. Since I already enjoyed the Tenchi series and Pokemon had similar features as in look. I thought that it would be wonderful to watch. Since the programme was broadcasted in the UK, I watched the English dub. I really loved the voice actors and actresses who played the main characters. They made the series very fun, exciting and emotional.

Due to the fact that I really enjoy the series I began buying some of the merchandise and also drew some of the Pokemon. Also some of the characters. The drawings that I drew went on to the extent that I included it in most of my work in school. I even made a fan fiction of some of the characters and included a new character. I always took reference to the person who created the series. However I did not play the game until the early 2000's. The game was very appealing.


The first drawing that you see below is the a colour drawing of Pikachu that I created a couple of weeks back. It looks pretty good.:

















The following drawings are some of the Pokemon that I drew when I was 12. Most of its references were from a 2000 year calendar that I had. I used it to remember all (back then) 150 Pokemon. This was a huge success for me:









































































































There will be something that I'll be showing not only on my blog but somewhere else on Wednesday so please look forward to it.

Fan Art Friday: Lilo and Stitch by Disney and My Phone Genie by Lee Walters

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! (Apologises for not posting a new blog entry last week.) Today I'll be showing you two fan arts both of them were created using colouring pencils also references.

The first drawing is of the Disney film and series Lilo and Stitch. I never got to watch the movie. But the series did actually make a big impact. From what I can remember they were wierd and wonderful creatures that Lilo and Stitch found within each episode and by the end of it they found a place where Stitch can visit. I personally thought that this concept. There was something else too. When the movie was released in the UK, the actor who played Stitch appeared on UK radio. There were times where he appeared. It got me immensely excited:


























The second and final fan art is of a current programme being showed on UK TV. It's called My Phone Genie. The series is created by Lee Walters.  This programme is shown on the CITV channel. It was also commissioned by CITV. The plot focuses on a girl callled Jasmine Hart. While looking for a ringtone for her phone she ends up getting a genie on her phone. This leads her and two of her school friends into a fiasco of humour and mishaps which can lead them into trouble. In this drawing I decided to draw Gene himself. I found him a very funny funny person and as I've already practised drawing men in some of my other posts, I thought I'd give a go of drawing him. It turned out better than I expected and I really hope to draw more male characters in the future.:


























There will be more fan art next week. I'll most probably show some old drawings that I did back when I was in my early teens. Have a fantastic weekend and make the most of it.

Fan Art Friday: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Kevin Eastman Peter Laird , Calcifer from Howls Moving Castle by Diane Wynne Jones and Megara from Disney's Herucles

Happy September and Happy Fan Art Friday today I'll be showing three drawing that are all in colouring pencils.

The first fan art is of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman. I'm a big fan of the turtles and I have been watching the TV during the 90's. It's awesome, great and spectacular. My favourite turtles was either between Raphael and Donatello.  I loved everything about the fanchise. The movies, the cartoon and the live-action series. I think the only thing that I have haven't seen ore read is the comics. I would love to read them some day. There might be possibility that I might draw more characters from this series. I think it is timeless and it has been very appealing to every generation who have come across them either through the comics or TV. I don't think I can every get tired of them.:






































The next fan art is of Calcifer from Howl's Moving Castle by Diane Wynne Jones. The movie was directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Although I haven't read the book I have watched the Studio Ghibli movie and  I think it is incredible. I've watched both the  Japanese and English version and surprising both of the was really good. I decided to draw Calcifer because he was hilarious in both versions. He also looked quite cute too. Although he is fire I really wanted to hug him after watching the movie. I decided to make him very cute in this drawing:







































The third and final fan art for today is of Megara from the Disney movie Hercules. This is a great movie. Around the time it was released here in the UK, it was advertised everywhere. It was so big that the premiere was shown on TV too. I was very intrigued. However I did not watch it until it was on the Disney Channel. I really enjoyed and Megara was my favourite. I adore the fact that the story was set in Ancient Greece as I was fascinated about Greece when I was very young. I've drawn Megara quite randomly during this week and I thought that it will be awesome to great to shown here on my blog.:








































There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting my blog. Please write a comment.

Fan Art Friday: Ponyo, Kiki form Kiki's Delivery Service and Chihiro from Spriited Away written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, Kaoru from Rurouni Kenshin by Nobuhiro Watsuki and Subaru and Hokuto from Tokyo Babylon by CLAMP

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be showing you three fan arts. All of these fan arts are all in colouring pencils also I thought that it would be interesting to show these characters in child-form.

The first one is of Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service, Ponyo and Chihiro from Spirited Away.  All of them were written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.  The first one I saw was Spirited Away. The DVD was a birthday gift from a very good friend of mine. It's probably movie that I haven't gotten tired of. The music is brilliant too. Kiki's Delivery Serivce was another movie that I really enjoyed too. This movie made me smile and it made me wonder what if a postman or post-lady used a alternative vehicle which is smiliar to Kiki's one to deliver the post? I think that would be interesting. I have yet to see Ponyo but I will definitely watch it.:

























The next fan art is of Kaoru from the anime and manga Rurouni Kenshin by Nobuhiro Watsuki. I first came across this series when I was either 17 or 18. It was another manga that I found at my local library and I loved and adored the story. I was fascinated of the concept of how it was set during the past of Japan. In this case it was the Meiji Period. Kaoru is a teacher of a kendo school and she and her family have a long history of a particular Kendo technique that can be only taught. At some point she bumps into Kenshin. I can't say what happens you'll have to read the manga to find out. The anime was impressive too. I watched most of the episodes up to a certain point. This was due to the fact that some of the plot was not corresponding to the manga. Back then I had read so much of this series as a manha that I assumed that it would be the same thing in the anime. Today, I realise that maybe this was done because at the time when the anime was released the manga was still being released. I got roughly a couple of volumes to finish the manga. I'm on the last arc of the series and I'm loving it so far:

























The third and final art for today is of Subaru and Hokuto from the manga Tokyo Babylon by CLAMP. Both of them are twins. This was another manga that I found at my library. I was in university when I read this series and It's a favourite of mine. It left me with a lasting impression on how I viewed one of the characters of the story. Although it has been a while since I've read this series I remember the plot very well. This manga made me admire CLAMP a whole lot more. In the manga both of these characters are teenagers. Plus the purple thing that I made in the background was something that I created out of my head. Looking at this drawing I've realised that it could be a hint of  a foreshadow. In the story. PLEASE read this manga. It's really great. :) :




























There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting my blog and please leave a comment. Enjoy your weekend everyone! ;)

Fan Art Friday: Cubix by Cinepix and Flying House produced by Tatsunoko Productions

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be showing two fan arts. Both of them were cartoons that I spotted and watched during my teens. Both of them were very interesting and very fun to watch. Also they continue the theme of clouds that were created for the same drawings last week.

The first fan art is of the cartoon Cubix. This show I found very interesting. A town with robots and people seemed quite good. It isn't the first time that I've seen a cartoon that is in 3-D. I was quite intrigued with the plot.  I'm quite impressed of how this drawing came out:

























The second and final fan art for today is of Flying House which was produced by Tatsunoko Productions. I spotted this cartoon before I went to school. This was another show that interested me. The idea that a house can fly into different time periods seemed pretty awesome. In this case it was Bible times. Plus when ever these characters assumed that they were home they soon realised that they were stuck in another time period. I never did find out if they made it home. I'm sure they probably did.:

























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