Fan Art Friday: Ayeka from Tenchi Muyo/Universe/In Tokyo and My Niece

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! I hope you're all having a brilliant month so far. Today I'll be showing two Fan Arts. Both of them were pencil sketches and then changes and modified on Photoshop.

The first Fan art is of my niece. One Sunday when I was at church I showed her some of my drawings and she asked that she wanted me to draw her. I told her that I will. From what you can see here, this is a second draft of the sketch that I created during this week:

The second and final fan art for today is of Ayeka form the Tenchi Series. She is definitely a character worth drawing. She's known as the concerned character of the series but also very very funny. I've watched all of the anime of the Tenchi series but I haven't seen GXP. As you can see here she is portrayed differently than in the series. This is because I've drawn her from memory:

There will be more Fan Art next week, thank you for visiting my blog. Please leave a comment!

Fan Art Friday: Tenchi: Sasami, Ryo-ohki & Ken-ohki, Murphy's Law: Rai & Mary & Nurarihyon no Mago (^_~)

Hello Everyone! Once again it's a friday and it's time to show some fan art! Hooray! (^_^) So to start off I thought I'd show some more Tenchi drawing that I did last week and this week. The first one is of one of the main characters called Sasami. She is the sister of the Jurai princess Ayaka. This was drawn in pencil and inked on the way to work. One the plus side, since I'm learning Japanese, I thought I'd write her name in hiragana:



The next one is of two animal characters of the Tenchi Universe series, Ryo-Ohki and Ken-Ohki. I think these characters are really awesome and what's awesome about these two is that they can change into spaceships. Ryo-Ohki usually is with the space pirate Ryoko and Ken-Ohki is with the bounty Hunter Nagi. This was done in watercolour paints. (There will definatley more fan art of Tenchi series too.):

The next one is of the a manga that I read back in 2009, called Murphy's Law. It was written and drawn by the artist Faye Yong. It's all about the story about Mary and how she hope to be in a relationship with a rich guy. Rai comes into the story at some point but you'll have to read the manga to find out where. What I love about this manga is that there are a lot of surprises and a lot of humour, plus it's heavy on the romance. I drew this using Photoshop CS3, and made the characters wear historical clothes. Back then I was new into historical fiction and I made a habit of making characters that I've read, dress up in either Regency or Victorian clothes. Here's what I came up with.:

Lastly, I yearned to create a fana art about Nurarihyon no Mago. The series came out when I was in the final stages of my university years. I managaed to watch half of the first series and one episode of series 2. It's quite an interesting series and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The series has my favourite anime actor Jun Fukuyama. He plays the lead role Nura in his human and yokai form. He's also the voice behind Kimihiro Watanuki in all of the anime series of XXXHolic. (Even the OVAS. ^_^) When I reconised his voice in this series I bagan to watch the series. When the time comes I will watch the rest of the series as well as do more fan art. I'll also try and find the manga too. ^_^ :

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:
