Fan Art Friday: Megumi and Suzuka From Captive Hearts, Io Ayase from Real Storm, Mey-Rin from Black Butler and Edith Cotterill from Nurse on Call. (^_~)

Happy Friday Everyone! Here is another four fan arts that I'll be showing you today. Three of them are from manga which are volumes. The fourth fan art is from a memoir that I am currently reading. All of these works were created with a 2B Pencil and Watercolour Paints.

Before I begin, I have to admit something, I've been trying to avoid reading Shoujo comics for the past two years. These types of comics were the reason why I got in to manga in the first place. The reason why I chose to stop was that I felt that I was growing old and I tried to find some Josei manga to even out the odds. Ultimately I gave in and decided to continue reading them. I realized how amazing funny this type of genre is and I have now chosen to continue reading this genre from now on.

The first fan art is from the manga Captive Hearts by Matsuri Hino. I think most of you would know that she is the creator of the manga Vampire Knight. Over the years, I have seen people dress up as some of the characters from this manga. Although I was was aware that she created the series I chose to read Captive Hearts, just to get a feel of the stories that she creates. This week, I read the first volume and I found it really difficult to put down. I read the volume about 30 times. Here are the two protagonists of the story Megumi and Suzuka. I was quite surprised that Megumi is a guy. I assumed that this name was suitable for a girl. (^_^;)

In addition to this story, there is also two short stories, I thought I'd do a fan art about one of them. This is Io Ayase who is the main protagonist of the short story called 'Real Storm' This was another short manga that I could not stop reading. I admired how Io changed from being a shy and quiet girl to a strong and confident girl:

The next fan art is of Mey-Rin from the manga Black Butler by Yana Toboso. She became my second favourite character after reading volume 8. When I finished this particular volume, I realized that a few questions that I had regarding the servants were answered. I was aware of this series back in 2010 I think when the anime was released, but I chose to wait and read the manga. I'm glad I did. I think I made Mey-Rin amazingly sweet here. I think next time I'll draw a better version of her:

The final Fan art for today, is of Edith Cotterill from the memoir, 'Nurse on Call'. I chose to read this book as part of my research of a comic entry that I'll be starting next month. (I'll be showing the process of the comic entry, throughout the month of September so stay tuned.) I began reading this memoir this week and I loving it so far. I decided to do a recollection of what I've read so far. There might be a possibility that I'll do more fan art of this novel, as I am currently reading it:

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

Summer Story: Angie's Forward Flip 3/3

Hello Everyone, I have now completed the summer story and it can now be shown in it's whole glory on my blog today. This is the continuation of the Winter story, that I created during Christmas time and posted up in January. I chose to do a Summer story as I could not think of a decent Winter story that could continue with the one I shown in January. All three friends of the winter story are present but the main protagonist is Angie who was seen in the previous story drawing her two friends. She a lot younger than she was then as it is a tale of her past. Part of this story is true, where I made and earned a great friend played games with her and also I did a forward flip.

Before I show these images, I thought I show the picture that inspired me to create the story. The concept was conceived during the spring time. With the idea that at some point during the year, the temperature will go sky high, I thought that it was necessary to create the story:

I used orange in different tones since the outline was in orange and scanned each picture. I was a bit iffy about how each page was scanned so I chose to change the brightness and contrast of some of the images. There are no words in these images, so you'll have to look at the images to find out what is happening:

With the success of completing this story, I've decided to create a Mid-Summer Story. It will be based on another one of the three friends which is Demi. (She is seen in the fourth picture with Angie.) It has already been planned out through thumb-nailed sketches. Now, I will need to create the characters as well as find a couple of references. There will also be a prequel before the Mid-Summer Story which is in fact a Dark and Light Story. It will be as similar as the previous Dark and Light Story, but with an huge difference, within the plot as well as the colour scheme. Thanks for visiting my blog and please feel free to leave a comment. \(^o^)/

Mascot Characters for Memenda -Seven 2

On Monday morning while working at the cartoon museum, I created some more character mascots for my company Memenda-Seven:

These are the first two that I made, I wanted to add a bit of a Regency feel for the first character. As for the second mascot I thought I make her a bit contemporary.

For these two mascots, I thought I would create a medieval dress, but still include the spectacles. As for the next mascot character I thought I start drawing guys. This is the first one that I thought of. He looks pretty cool and I love the clothes that I created for him.

Here are another two guys. Still using the Regency clothes, and similar body positions. I've made one characters hair long and the other short.

These are another two guys, where one of them looks a bit like a police officer...well slightly, as for the other character I thought I'd put a sailor clothes on him. It sort of came to mind, since at first I wanted to create some contemporary clothes for him.

These are the last two mascot characters that I created, where I chose to do another girl in a suit and another guy. I'm quite impressed with these two. I still have to make a couple more decisions before I decide the two mascots for my company Memenda-Seven. I'll also have a look at the Previous Ones too.
