YAY! i'm still working on this series! xD

This time my victims were Shilene and Uras, Aryen and Uryen's parents.

I wanted to draw them in a tender way, to show the love they feel for each other. Although I'm not the kind of person who likes love stories and such things, I must admit that I love their relationship and I enjoyed drawing them this way.

Shilene was the one who gave me most of the headaches, since I couldn't manage to get this pose and I had to redraw it several times, I also had to look for some references for her left arm. The only problems I got while drawing Uras, was the shape of his face, since at first it seemed very girly and I had to fix his chin, I also wanted to draw him with his hair untied .

I also wanted to practise painting skies and clouds, so I searched for some dawn skies references on google and tried to get it as accurate as possible. I really enjoyed making the clouds!.

On the other hand, you know that in this series I like to attach some flowers to the characters, this time I've chosen the Chrysanthemum, because while I was searching for information about it, I learned that they have a lot of meanings depending on the culture, some of the meanings are royalty, love, happiness and death, and I think they suit them quite well. I used some tatoos as a reference to draw it.

Vivi Ornitier

Watch on DA | Pixiv

So I've been wanting to paint something traditionally for a long time, and I also wanted to draw Vivi Ornitier from Final Fantasy IX for a long time, that's why I decided to do both at the same time xD.

Anyway, I had to search for a some references for Vivi, since there were some details of his outfit that I couldn't remember well, by doing this I remembered that he also appeared in Kingdom Hearts II (I totally forgot!!) and I though on drawing him using the outfit he has on that game, but I still prefer this one :3. The sketch was done on a regular paper and then transferred to a drawing block.

The parts that probably gave me more headaches were his pants, his head and the hat, his hands weren't as hard as imagined they would be. I also enjoyed a lot painting him, I used almost the entire pencil box because I like to try the colors a lot xD.

I had to enhance the colours using photoshop, since the scanner ruined them ¬¬.

I can't forgive myself for not having written the entry for this piece until today! D: (it was made at the begining of december 2013 D:)

Aidiki-chan uploaded the sketch of this man on Facebook, and since she said she wasn't going to colour it, I asked for her permission to do it.

For me, this was the excuse to paint a male torso and to play with lights, since I always wanted to paint something where the light source is on the back of the character xD.

I painted everything on Sai and then made al the light effects on photoshop. I put a lot of effort on painting his skin, specially on his chest :3. I also added some textures to his clothes.

Aysu - 100k Kiriban

Watch on DA | Pixiv | Tumblr

So I've finally reached 100+k visits on my DA profile! because of this, I decided to make a Kiriban and sakuraluvsuall@deviantart was the winner!. She requested me to draw her beautiful OC Aysu ^^.

When I saw the refferences that sakuraluvsuall gave me, I instantly decided that I wanted to draw her in a dynamic pose with movement and a bit of foreshortening, since that's a challenge for me!

I had a lot of problems while drawing her hands, I had to redraw both of them until I was really satisfied with the results, but in the end her right hand was bigger than it should be and I totally forgot to correct it before cleaning the lines >_<. The second problem came when I started scketching her braids, I can understand their structure, bu when I was defining their shape after working in their schema I got really confused because I didn't knew where the next strand should go!

But anyway, I had a lot of fun painting it, since I'm not very used to use green colours on my works, so this has ended up being a really good practise!^^

The background was made in photoshop, using the brushes that you can get on my DA account for 30 points or by donating 0,30€ to me ^^.

And for those who are wondering, my favourite parts of this drawing are her eyes, wings and dress ^^.

Red Riding Hood

Watch on DA | Pixiv | Tumblr

Happy New Year for those who takes their time on reading this blog! xD

So yeah, here I come with the first entry and the first finished drawing of the year!

The main idea of this piece was to draw a samurai/demon-slayer version of the popular character Red Riding Hood, who also has a big brown werewolf at her service xD.

The thing that gave me my first headache was Red's pose, since I didn't liked the first one I drew, so I needed to look for references until I found one that I liked for this piece. The second headache came with her clothes design, because the ones that I thought at the beginning came out so ugly that I had to redesign them, and I finally added a metallic corset. I also had to look for references of japanese armors. After that, I didn't knew if it was better to draw her with some kind of bloomers or with an skirt...an I finally ended up drawing an skirt with a cut on the side and the garthers.

The werewolf was hard to draw since I'm not used to draw this kind of characters, so I didn't knew how the proportions should be >_<, anyway, I think it doesn't looks that bad!.

For the background I used a lot of green and blue tones to give it a night atmosphere, I like how it came even if I didn't detailed it as much as I wanted. I used some brushes that I had on my computer for the leaves and the moon texture...I just hope I could remember where I got them, I also should make my own ones!

And yeah! the ground is full of blood xDDD
