Keeping in line with the portraits of Tseng I recently submitted, this is a touched-up version of a much older piece I found while going through my archives. This work started as a speed painting, where I did as much as I could in the space of around twenty minutes, so it's quite rough. Still, had fun doing it :)

The preview image links to my ( Read more... )

It's been so long since I've posted and entry that I've pretty much forgotten how I used to format it. Oh well. This is just a portrait of Tseng that I revamped from an old work I did early last year as a gift for a friend. I did three different versions and decided to post all three on my DA account because I had fun doing them and thought each ( Read more... )

Not dead, though close to it. Too scared to check my flist at this point, I've let it go for so long. I'll be back and kicking if I can somehow get through this year (it's really down to the wire at this point). Oh life ( Read more... )

The one for campari red passion, that is. Am I the only one who finds it strangely hypnotic?

( The list of things to do (Art only): )

There's no title for this one yet, as I'm considering whether or not I should use it for the cover of a potential fancomic I have in mind (my first attempt at one).

Fandom: One Piece

Character: Zoro

Notes: the background is a manipulation, the character is painted. I started this work way back in January but had issues with Zoro's face and the ( Read more... )

Title: Through Glass Doors, or, as a friend kindly suggested, Murder Through the Glass Door.

Fandom: One Piece

Characters: Sanji, Zoro (though this may not be immediately evident)

Notes: This work is subpar, yet I'm so tired I fail to care overly much. The satisfaction of actually getting a work done is enough for me, since I haven't had the ( Read more... )

Hypothetical situation: Say I want to try my hand at drawing a fancomic/doujinshi.

The question: Should I go left to right, or right to left?

I have no preference when it comes to reading (unless the art's been "flopped" or mirrored, but that's a different story). Since I've never had a go at any sort of sequential art, it will be equally (un) ( Read more... )

AHAHAHAHAHA

I scream, with laughter yes, but also PAIN.

Haven't had enough? WANT TO SEE HOW MANY METAPHORS YOU CAN FIT ONTO A DOUBLE PAGE? MORE PAINFUL (PUBLISHED!!) PURPLE PROSE, RIGHT THIS WAY

I don't usually spam this journal with posts of this nature, but this...just. I have no words (if only the author in question had suffered from the same ( Read more... )

I've created another journal solely for my honours thesis this year: d_thesisising

My thesis topic, as it stands, is still extremely vague and liable to change drastically in the future. Regardless, if I were forced to sum it up in two words, it would be "Fanfiction" and "Race". I'm interested in the consumption of Japanese cultural texts by western fans, with ( Read more... )
