Year of fanart 2008
I know this is a bit belated, everyone seemed to have done this weeks ago. But it seemed like fun, especially since 2008 was the first year I started to draw seriously and didn’t let it stay in the sketchbook or on the hard drive. Warning: Some of the drawings are NC-17 AND NWS!
Lots of pictures under the cut.
Favourite
My favourite is almost always the one I’m working on. But apart from that I have a few other favourites like the Byakuya/Renji kissing and Harry by Dobby’s grave.
Best
One of the drawings I like the most of is this one, mostly for the unicorns. I haven’t drawn horses since my early teens and it was still fun. It was also great fun to draw the details. My sister’s BGF thought Draco looked kind of effeminate but cute. That made me happy.
Most underappreciated
H/D Halloween. I thought this was funny. Don’t really think anyone else did.
Most fun to draw
Comics!
Sexiest
Probably the Draco I did for HP Wankfest. My first NC-17. I blushed the whole time I did it, but since the fest was anonymous it felt better.
So Very Wrong
Konoha Pride Parade. It was Pride festival here and it only seemed appropriate. (And I’m sure Jiraya would put on a bathing suit if he thought it would get him more attention from females...)
Shifted my perception
Hippogriffs. On of the first drawings I did for the HP Fringeart comm. It was a big step for me, both to join and to participate.
Biggest surprise
That the snowmen got a huge amount of comments, the most of all drawings in the calendar. It didn’t take long to do and I wasn’t really sure I should put it up.
Hardest to do
At least this took the longest time to finish. So many characters I've never drawn before. I had to do it in two pieces to get it right and I still hadn't got the grip on the use of layers in Photoshop.
Most proud of
The whole onechocfrogaday HP Calendar pingviini and I did in December. I did more than 40 drawings for that one. Several of them never made the cut
Fandoms 2008: Harry Potter, Bleach, Saiyuki, Naruto, Hikaru no Go, Death Note (sort of)
Goals for 2009
Finish the HP, Death Note, LotR and Junjou Romantica fanart I’m working on and probably dabble in some more manga/anime fandoms like Kuroshitsuji
Participate in more fests and exchanges. I like to do themed or prompted drawings
Do more drawings for hump_day_smut
Draw a bit every day
Dabble in watercolour
Take croquis classes
