Fan Art Friday: Zippy from Rainbow, Kawachi and the Bread Jugde from Yakitate Japan, Luna, Artemis, Usagi and Mamoru-chan from Sailor Moon, Kamizake Kaitou Jeanne and Mr. Lion's Girl, Mr. Lion and Asumi from Twin Spica

Happy Friday Everyone! It's now time for another batch of fan art. All of these fan arts were made from colouring pencils, 2B pencils and watercolour paints. The first one is Zippy form the children's tevevsion series Rainbow which was created by Pamela Lonsdale. I remeber waiching the series when I a kid and this was back in the early 90's. The series began during the early 70's and continued until the 90's During the mid-noughties, Nick jr. showed most of the episodes. I thought that this was pretty awesome because it showed a new generation of kids about old shows from the past. My favourite character was in fact Zippy. Althought there were times where he was cheeky he always seemed to learn his lesson somewhere towards the end of the show:

The next two fan arts are about the manga Yakitate Japan by Takashi Hashiguchi. It's all about a young bread artisan called Azuma, who embarks on a journed to create a bread for Japan. I chose to create two secondary characters of whom I felt were pretty awesome. The first one was of Ken Matsushiro who seems to be pretty hip, wearing sunglasess and also having a huge Afro. His past life on how he becamea bread artisan seemed to interst me alot. He's incredbly funny and very knowledgeable too, he so was amazingly awesome that I felt that the least I could do is drawn him. Looking back on what I've done I am impressed:

The next character from this manga is of Ryou Kuroyanagi. He is one of the judges of the RookieBread Artistan Tournament. At the start of the manga he seemed to be a bit irritaing. But over time he seemed to grow on me. With his good looks and amusing brown eyes he has a very hard temper or very strict. Azuma seems to prove of a bit of a challenge with him but I began to admire him because he saw Azuma more than just an ameteur. I chose to draw him as a trst to seeif I could still draw men in manga form. I seemed to have done pretty well:

The next fan art that I will be shown is of an anime and manga called Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne. I started watching the series when I was in my foundation year of uni. I would always watch it during my lunch break. It was pretty awesome and it about a huge smile to my face. It was about a girl called Marron who had to destroy demons with a pin which then transforms to a chess piece. She uses a rosary to transform and is the reincarnation of Joan of Arc. Marron has some competion while destroying demons. I'll do a fan art of this character sometime in the future. She also has a best friend too. When I finished the anime, I then read the manga and it has an whole bunch of surprises as well as secret stories never being revealed in the anime. While reading the manga, this song came to mind. This is Marron in her transformed self Jeanne:

The next two fan art from the anime and manga Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeuchi. In my pre-teens my cousin introduced me to the series and I absolultley loved it. I kept watching the series and seeing how the characters progress over time and I adore the main protagonist Usagi and Mamoru-chan. Seeing how they both grow was really inspiring. Earlier this year I began to read the manga and this made me really pleased because I finally got to see the story again but in it's orginal form. This was translated into English. So what I've done here is Usagi and Mamoru-chan. I'm a bit iffy about how I painted this. But I chose to put it up because Usagi was done really well:

The other two characters are two animal characters called Luna and Artemis. They are portrayed as cats and art the side characters to all of the sailor scouts:

Lastly the final two fanarts are from the manga Twin Spica by Kou Yaginuma. This manga was reccomended to me by Goodreads. This manga is about Asumi and her aspirations to be a space rocket driver. My local library consortium had copies so I thought I would give it a go and read it. I found it very heart warming, funny, exciting and also at times lost for words. There were times where I almost cried, almost. The first fan art is of the main protagonist Asumi and her friend Mr. Lion. I haven't figured out his real name as of yet, but he is incredibly funny:

This character is Mr.Lion's love interest. I can't say what her name is and what link she does. I think it's best if you read the manga and to find out:

As always, there will be more fan art next friday, I hope you like what i've done so far. Please leave a comment and thank you for visiting my blog.

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^)/

Fan Art Friday!: Dragonball ^_^

Hello Everyone, I thought I would share some fan art with you. I will not only show some new fan art, but I will also show some old fan art that I made. This drawing is based on the series Dragonball. It features Goku in his younger form. I've just gone back to reading the manga and it has made me laugh so much. The anime was shown on TV and I always tuned in whenever I came back from school. It was amazingly funny and surprisingly Goku was my favourite. There were times when he's very mischievous but always done what he thought was right. I was even surprised that he was just 12 years old too:

I hope to continue making fan art to show every Friday. It would be a cross over to most of the projects that I'll be working on I might continue this until February 2014. If I get this far, I will post up a review the ones that I done.

Summer Story: Angie's Forward Flip! (^_^) 1/3

Hello Everyone, I hope you are having a great and decent time during the month of June. I thought I'd let you know that the continuation of the Winter Story, will in fact be a Summer Story. But it will be still be based on Angie, who it one of the close friends of Rae. It is still in the works but it will be finished very soon. There are about 24 small pages in total. I thought that I'll show you the first stage of sketches in 2B and HB pencils. Although a mass amount of smudges were made throughout the process, it didn't stop me from producing. (^_^ ) Here are two pages of different parts of the story. Enjoy:

I'm immensely pleased with these scenes that I had to show it to you.

I was also quite proud of these scenes too. I'm really looking forward to what it would look like in colour.
