Log #1

When I label something as "log" I don't mean actually compiling bits of fanart from separate blog posts like the Japanese do. In this sense, it's dumping random things into one entry because I don't want to dedicate a post for a single, possibly unrefined piece. So I'll be adding things as I go. Warning: Occasional 女体ルル desu.

Now, I've only recently discovered the sheer practicality of Corel Painter Essentials and am having too much fun with it *_*.

2007.10.02 「心からすまなく～」 Here's a character I could've fangirled over like I do Suza and Lelouch (surprise, surprise). Unfortunately, Soldier Blue is a little too ethereal for fanwank (I'm afraid to break his frail bones). Maybe Blue and I weren't meant to be XD.

2007.09.21 「Ajisai #1」 It's 3:33PM at the time of posting, whoo! I'm loving three new things at the moment: Mononoke, Mushishi (not very new; started last year), Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei <3. I could go on and on about Mononoke's artfully surrealistic direction. Kind of like seeing Amano Yoshitaka's art in motion.

2007.09.13 「My Cherie Amour」 Yes, yes, I get inspired by nothing else but Stevie nowadays. Yami requested a Lloyd art (someone actually wants a CG art!) but I had other ideas besides Lloyd. When someone hands me a req idea, I like to run with it. A bit far than intended. And usually, reqs come out not quite as planned. So doing this is like someone had req'ed Rivalz instead of a certain someone else x_x. It doesn't help that I was putting Stevie's '67 song on repeat the day I started on it.

2007.09.05 「Suzaku positioned himself against the railing and struck his best debonair pose - leaning back casually, his face angled to its most handsome degree, staring out as though he was lost in thought.」 Was fangirling with RukawaGF last night over Hope and Demi's Learning Curve (brilliantly written SuzaLulu smutfic - no, REALLY) to the point where we quote our favourite lines *is geeky*. Afterwards, I rec'ed her Hope's War, or Maybe a Game which she also loved. I told her there's a certain sentence in there that begs for quick sketching. So I did.

2007.09.04 「Isn't She Lovely ~ Stevie Wonder」Oh, man... Think I should stop trying to create the strange but effective midtone hues that J-fanartists somehow pull? I think I copied CLAMP's Copic marker style on the faces but, of course, since this is 40% the original size only I can see the details x_x. And I prefer the BW version down below so much more. That's quite telling of my CG-ing skills.

2007.08.27 「Warlock or Prince」 Sapphira Angel wrote an excellent C.C. POV fic about a possible conversation between her and Suzaku about Lelouch post-25 <3. I couldn't help but agree that it's a brilliant idea.

Corel is awesome for finally getting to draw more art.

Suzaku looks like he belongs in The Scream. Its the railing.

And I'm finally getting back to colouring that SuzaLulu art.

LOL The Scream! Brilliant. That didn't even cross my mind.

You're not talking about the exact same SuzaLulu art I've finally gotten around to finishing, are you?
