I draw. Sometimes.
Hi guys, so um... I forget who, I think maybe chunamie, was surprised to find out that I draw.
I do. When I can. Not as often as I'd like to, but I do.
I also do photography, but not to the professionalism some people here on LJ do-- I just take pictures of things that I find cute/quirky. So... I'm sharing some samples of work here~ ^_^
Sketches
Sketched 2004. I'm heavily inspired by CLAMP and other manga artists I adore. This one is a sketch of Kira and Rei from my favorite manga "Mars." I really do recommend it. (The way I drew the characters makes them look a bit androgynous, doesn't it? *cocks head to side*)
Sketched 2004. "My Neighbor Totoro" was the first anime I ever watched. Miyazaki forever holds a special place in my heart. I copied quite a few pictures when I was younger. o.0
Sketched 2004. See? XXXholic, I believe...
Shetched 2004. Ah! There's hope- this one isn't copied, just inspired and guided by the CLAMP style. ^_^ Here's a sketch I did for my friend in Biology during freshman year in high school. *cheers*
Sketched last year in the fall (2008). So, as you can see...four years later, CLAMP still heavily influences me. This was a tribute to the Twilight series for the vampire Alice and the puppy!Jacob. I liked to ship them in my head sometimes (not puppy form, but grown up form), but this was prior to me detesting the Twilight series because the Twilight fandom ruined it for me. x_x I was supposed to send this to Stephenie Meyer with an accompany sketch of Emmett/Leah playing rock-scissors-paper (Leah in wolf form), but I never finished it... and I don't really like how Alice turned out in this sketch either. *sad* Ah well...
I don't sketch as much anymore... A lot of my other sketches I'd like to put here (because it's not always anime, which seems to be the only thing I scanned back in the day >.< ), but my scanner died. x_x
Photography
Taken 2007. This is melted ice cream. My friend did the smiley face. ^_^
This was taken in my room 3 or so years ago. I liked the colors. My friend told me this picture reminded her of "I-Spy" books. ^_^
Taken 2007. Yoshi - Marshmallow Peep - Chocobo. They all look like best friends here, yes? ^.~ I did a series of shots with these three stuffed animals. A stuffed animal photo shoot. ^0^
