Fan Art Friday: Ohayo Sunday Afternoon and BellRingers by Selina Dean

Happy Fan art Friday Everyone! I hope you're all doing okay and have enjoyed the month of the November. I had a good month and I'm very excited about next month. Today I'll be showing two fan arts. Both of them were created with pencil and the colour was added on Photoshop. They are both from a series by the same author. This author is Selina Dean.


The first fan art is of Vitzo who is one of the Bellringers from the comic Bellringers. I thought I'd draw him in this positon because it suited it very well. I read the comic in a collection of short comics that she complied together. It is called Koneko. Regardless how short the story was I was drawn to it. I also questioned myself why I didn't buy the earlier issues sooner. The story was left at a cliffhanger and this left me shocked because I yearned to read more. Also the chapter that I read in this issue was chapter three. I'm now convinced to go back and read the webcomic. I'm really excited about this:

The next fan art is of Kiriko from the webcomic Ohayo Sunday Afternoon. Back in 2009, the comic was released as a webcomic and I kept reading it. It was very funny and made me smile. It's also part of the first issue of Koneko. Kiriko is seen here standing while Sakura petals are flown by. I yearned to create a different atmosphere with this character:

In two days time which is the 1st December I'll post up some pictures which are based on the theme of Christmas. Next week's Fan Art Friday will also follow the same theme. Thank you for visiting my blog! Please leave a comment and enjoy the last few days of November.

(^o^)14th Day Christmas Pictures!(^_^)

As a lead-up to my 25th birthday, I decided that every month on the 14th, I will create and post an image on my blog, this will be based on what comes to mind, what I have seen from the first week, on TV, DVD's or places that I have been around London. This month I have chosen to create a Christmas drawing since it will be next week where Christmas will finally arrive. It's of a drawing of an angel that lives on top of the tree and meets another ornament which has floated around the house. (You'll probably realise this already or not but the ornament or the right reminds me of Steve Jobs in his younger days.... He didn't really come to mind while I was drawing this picture but as I coloured the image, I saw a bit of a resemblance.) This image is in water-colour paints and inked in black ink:

The next drawing is a Secret Santa for a particular forum member on a website called Sweatdrop. This forum member has a web comic called FanDanGo that begun in 2009 and is still going today. She is part of a group called Indie Manga and has created some great comics so far. Since she is a fan of Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicle, I decided to do a fan art of this series. It's written by a five female manga artists called CLAMP, where each of them create various fragments for one series. They are also the artist who create one of my favourite manga, called xxxholic. It's a different story however it's a cross-over of Tsubasa and the same scenes in Tsubasa are portrayed quite differently in this comic. The main characters are drawn in Christmas clothes:

The final drawing, is a another fan-art for Deb Marlowe. This is another retrospective picture of two brothers (Charles and Jack) who have found their love (Sophie and Lily) in two of the authour's books. (Scandelous Lord, Rebellious Miss and Her Cinderella Season) It's has a Christmas theme and I was inspired by visiting The Museum of London. As usual I visited the Pleasure Garden's section of the Museum and sketched the clothes with an orange coloured pencil. When I got home I inked and used water colour paints the drawing. Towards the end of this week, the image will be sent to Deb:

On a side note, I created this impressionist drawing of myself to celebrate my 24th birthday last month, I've abandoned black in this drawing and used blue. Also I portrayed myself wearing my Front of House uniform that I wear at work:
