Riding on the train with friends
















Just a normal day on the MTA. openCanvas, Photoshop.

Apollo Justice Party!















Apollo Justice print; openCanvas and Photoshop.

Illustration Friday: Frozen



























Another one for Illustration Friday; the theme was "Frozen" this time. So I decided to do my interpretation of Jack Frost. Paint Tool SAI.

KHR: Fong & I-Pin



























Another old print; I think this was when I started to fully appreciate Paint Tool SAI. Fanart of the characters Fong and I-Pin from Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

Illustration Friday: Welcome


















Did this for Illustration Friday. The theme was "Welcome", so I decided to illustrate that moment where I'd walk into the Japanese supermarket and all the staff would welcome me with a rousing "Irrashaimase!", as they do when they see a customer enter.

Art Dump 2012

Going to start keeping a bunch of my older finished art here, for lack of a better place to host them.



I think this was from back in '09; original characters having a laugh. openCanvas and Photoshop.

Sunrise Nippon

I'm having this printed on a mug for my mother's stocking stuffer.

I'm struggling to get all of my Christmas list done, as I do every year because I've waited until the very last minute. Work's busy, so trying to get those projects and personal projects done means more time sitting in front of the computer than a human being should spend, ever. I can actually feel my muscles atrophying as I type this.

But I'm almost done with the art-type gifts! And then it'll be holiday baking marathon time! I'm looking forward to that, although I'm sure I'll regret it once I've actually started...being ambitious doesn't usually work out in my favor.

ANYWAY. It's the boys from Arashi, who are impossible to not love. openCanvas 4.03. This took far too long - I'm horrible at trying to draw real people. Jun gave me the most problems; go figure. I think I'm happiest with how Sho came out.



From left to right: Matsujun, Aiba, Sho, Nino, Riidaa.

Please note Sho's sloping shoulders, tyvm.

X-Mas 2010

Pieces

We made up our own board game to play during a trip in the Poconos a few years back.

The idea came from some Japanese variety shows I'd seen, where they played batsu (penalty) games. You rolled a dice and whatever you landed on, you had to do. It was usually a mixture of penalties and prizes, but our game was pretty much all penalties.

These included "Cupcake Roulette", where you had to bite into a cupcake, in many of which lurked surprise fillings such as breakfast sausage, octopus (yes, we had octopus) mustard, mayonnaise, black pepper and any other condiments on hand. Similarly, there was the "Danger! Gelatin" penalty, where (without looking) you took a jello shot, which might be filled with ground beef, green peas, or horrifyingly enough, raw garlic. And then there was my personal favorite, "Jello Shoes", which required you to spend the rest of the game with your feet in baggies of gelatin.

Anyway, I made little game pieces for each of us with my button machine!
