[Updates]: Workload getting heavier...-.-

Coming this week, it's week 4 and more stuff gng to come after Chinese New Year(CNY) which is only a few days away... While I can still manage, the tutorials are getting harder, contents taught are getting more difficult... As such, I believed, I will put off my blog for a while; will blog once in a while or just uploading updates of some works I did(like now) This semester's going to be a tough one...-.-

#RandomLLDoodles

Last one in set 4- Violinist Nozomi

And set 4 done~
  Here's set 4, featuring:

  1. Samurai Yukiho(real random but had wanted to draw that pose*refer to my previous post*) 
  2. Artist Alisa(Another random one *again refer to this post for notes on this work*)
  3. Violinist Nozomi(And... Random; just wanted to draw a Violinist...0.0)
*Fun fact: not sure is it cos Yukiho & Alisa aren't that well known that... The amt of likes gt for this set is so much fewer than the other sets... Or that this set is too OOC; even Violinist Nozomi didn't get much... Or...Is this work badly done...? Well I won't say it's great but I certainly loved Samurai Yukiho and Violinist Nozomi(if not for the screwed-up hand & violin drawing-.-) Alisa was... Bad yet I had no idea how to make her look more like her...Sigh...

Notes for Violinist Nozomi artwork:

First, after Alisa was drawn, I had a few pending/inspired ideas to draw and out of those... Find Violinist 'matches' her most... May not suit her but well, it's not impossible? I mean Nozomi can be charming(her way with music) if she wants~
Okay, away from that, chose Violin out of all musician instruments cos it's one of the instruments I would have learned if I've interest in music~ Seeing those ppl playing the violins are cool but the most impt is that the music played by Violin is nice~ But still, my top fave music instrument is the piano!(It's hard to draw that so... Plus the space constraint...)
Talking about the difficulty in drawing music instruments... I failed in that aspect; just look at Nozomi's hands and the Violin drawn... To all Musicians, esp Violinists, pardon me><

Here's the sources of inspiration:


Will be uploading the scanned version soon~

Pretty much that's all the work(s) I did... If u hav seen my previous post, u would understand how badly I want to draw but the lack of time- I can't even watch my weekly dose of anime and am lacking behind on the episodes(can't even watch RWBY this week yet T.T)

I will be working on set 5 soon which comprises of the ARISE members~ As it is, roles for Kira Tsubasa & Tojo Erena are already decided! Only leaving Yuuki Anju(maybe a fairy? Like the recent SR/UR theme in SIF? Love that fairy Umi but low on love gems...) And just when I planned to stop at set 5, my friend had to remind me that there's Nico's siblings as well... Hmm... I may or may not be drawing; once again if I still hav theme/roles/inspirations to draw~

'Small' Announcement...

There's a chance that... I may be exiting from this idol hell soon; this yr will be the last time I'm doing birthday fanart for them cos I feel that I'm spending too much time on this fandom that I'm like neglecting the other animes I watch/watched...
And not just that... I feel... I'm spending too much $$$ as well... The temptation is real when I just spent much on Sunny Day Song gachapon:

Spending like nothing-.- And still can't get that... Sea!!T.T
Sigh~

Compilation of works

In the end, I decided to set the target to maybe till I'm done with set 5 of the random LL doodles(or that magicanXcircus series...) Plus the cover... Haven't gt the time to do though-.- Gt to see the situation~ 

That's about it. Until the next time, this is Yaij signing off, ja ne~

[Rambling] Drawing urges...-.-

Think I'm addicted to drawing that I'm feeling "slight" withdrawal syndrome... Gt many ideas to draw but lack of time to(due to work load increasing...) To the point that I get a "little" distracted during lectures...(When the lectures get boring & can't helped daydream off~)

Already gt pending ideas for LL random doodles series; for Nozomi & either Erena/Tsubasa~ Sigh...

Tbh, I can't even finish my work so... Trying to put drawing like a reward after work but there always no time after work...(Like now...) I'm even fighting to sleep(-.-) & I can't choose drawing over sleeping(lol...)

Can't even catch a break in the weekends since my schedule's packed for these past few weeks... Tough life but it's only for now and then after that is a 3-months break!(>8<) Though maybe going for internship/working- preparation for overseas exchange but still debating; not cheap & nid see the availabilty of the course I want to clear(hoping for jap so that I can finish the highest jap language level available for uni~*Determined to learn*)

Gt to just... Endure and control. Blogging for an outlet to vent my frustrations~ And time to go b4 'harming' the me tmr(and TGIF)- Another week gng passed and it is only the start yet it feels so long...
Think that 3-mths break really is the resting time for me, both mentally(those occasional headaches and lack of sleep...)& physically(my waist)...    

Till next time, this is Yaiji signing off, ja ne~

[Update]: Set 3 & 4 of LL random doodles~

2nd week of sch passed & still managing well. So apparently, gt a great tutor for the mod that I couldn't understand; the tutor's explanation helps me to understand much better!^^ But the same can't be say for the other tutors though... Not bad but maybe their teaching styles r a bit...(Shall not say much-.-)

And it's sad that I can't take Jap level 3 this semester- rip my jap, gng leave it for a long while...

Moving on to the work updates- about this... It look's like I'm still in holiday mood; spending too much time drawing and in the process... Neglected(a bit) of my work and so... While there're many inspiring ideas I want to draw out(right now), I gt to control to- let's say one draw per day or after one tutorial done?- that's a bit demanding for some mod tut though...

So here's the RANDOM LL DOODLES SERIES:

I darken the pencil works with black marker to make it clearer~  (Updated in DeviantArt)



And here's set 3~


Featuring:

  • Butler Kotori(Suppose to be Maid Kotori but it's too canon for her since she's one in the anime)
  • Witch Hanayo(look like Harry Potter?)
It was supposingly to be the pure gals set but... Guess I was overly passionate and obsessed that I drew too many Witch Hanayo~>8< It started with Witch Hanayo in that cape outfit which is inspired by this:
Again, SAO for the win~
Cos her outfit was hidden by the cape, I decided to draw her without it and took up too much space... Hanayo on the broom was a try-out; how it look's like and feel to draw~ And then, a random familiar for her as well~(Suppose to be a cat but I sux at animal drawing and turned out like a tiger cat/ digimon-like-.-)
(*Inspiration for Kotori was based on a certain artist work but doubt I can repost so...><) And a little something from Kotori's side:


One on the right was the initial one but wasn't looking like Kotori & (Maybe cos) she was too manly... And the expression as well... The one on the left is the edited one- looked much better~^^

Uploaded on deviantart.
(**NOTICE: Cos I didn't sign on the work- it was intending to be just doodles work yet... I don't want to see the works under this series to be stolen or something- I'm adding watermark for DA side. But even so, it can still be taken here so... If u gt the heart in u, pls at the very least let me know if u r gng use my art for something; it's fine to get it for references...Though I doubt anyone will steal but better say than be sry ltr...**)

So far, three sets r done. Just started set 4 not long; here the current progress~

 
Close up views;

Combat skirt isn't my style so~
*Due to the aligning problem, I can only use Medium Size instead of Large Size...(Do zoom in if u can't see~ Or u can find under my twitter)
  • Artist Alisa


The hand drawing was very bad-.- Couldn't get it...
 

  
I screwed this duo.... My first time drawing and their characters... Too OCC-.- But it's a surprise that I added them, right?

So initially, it was just drawing of poses only with LL characters as the people doing those poses & it was supposed to end at set 1 but... Along the way, found more and soon it became this; until set 3 completed and working on set 4 o.o

Decided to try working on other LL characters besides U's members~(Maybe adding Aqours as well? Nah, saving them for 2nd single outfit~^^) In other words...(Nozomi will likely be set 4, don't worry; not gng to side-track again...) I may be working on ARISE members as well~(already gt 1 pose for one of the members~ But control!!!)

Random work(s):

Angst Umi at (my) its finest~><

Inspired by this...The feels~
Drew this scene accordingly to a new idea I gt from the anime Ajin; An AU where special 'humans' can summon something like what Ajin can call out(but this something can be seen..)- much like a persona(look up on this series if u hav not- it's an awesome one!) call and cos it's abnormal & scary, ppl fear and such special 'ppl' r to be hunted down if found. (And they r not considered humans but Monsters...)

The only way to find out is if the 'person' uses his/her power or that he/she was killed but managed to revive(like ajin...) Was thinking of how Umi(as one of the special 'ppl') was betrayed by her friends after using her power to save them; her friends called the police...(Was thinking of Kotori, the one Umi loved, made the call to make this settling bitter'sweet') And then, despite the betray, Umi continued to help the humans... 

Adding another: whenever the special 'ppl' call out their persona(let's call that for now), the price they hav to pay is their memories... And when they reach zero pt in which all memories used up...(much like D.gray-man) The persona took over the person's body... And rampage... The only way to stop is another persona killing it(see the link?) There r cases that the persona is able to calm down and adapt to the person's life it took over~(making it into Parasyte 0.0)

So pretty much this is the gist~(I'm just such a S...) And that scene I drew is when Umi used up all her memories... It's really tough being my fave char when I love angst(cos life isn't all happiness~)

Sry about the ramblings but this is currently the AU I had in mind~ Oh and didn't add this of how and y these ppl can call out persona... Well, it's a qn that most supernatural stories leave readers hanging? But I do hav though still...How do I put it... In the midst of 'formulating'- haha, sound like I'm putting too much thoughts on this but I believe everything has an end and beginning; I explained the end but the beginning is the hard one...(Although that end's just how the char end but not the story end and I feel that is really... The hardest of all to think of...) 

Gng leave it(or I risk making this post long-.-) 

Misc.

Nothing much left to say except this:

IT'S COMING!!!>< Can't wait to 'play' with her!^^(With the other stuff bought~)

That's about it I think. For now, I can still update like normal but further down, gng be rather busy... B4 I forget, think I will upload the compilation of artwork onto Pixiv like end of this mth cos it's never-ending until I set the target so that my next compilation will hav works to compile~

[Update]: Week 1 of sch & Continuing LL Random doodles series~^^

School just started this week for me and well... It's still manageable. However, I'm already having difficulties in one mod-.-(but not going to let it brings me down though!) Gng try again while reviewing the lecture notes. Other than that, the other mods r still fine(for now?)

It's my last semester of yr 2 so gng try hard in order to go to yr 3!(Faito Daiyo!!!) Then, need to choose in yr 3 of the specialization I want to 'master'.- Very much like how certain games have job advancement...

Let's get to the art updates~

LL Random doodles~

Just scanned the works under this 'series':


If u hav seen my last update post, I've shown this; this is the scanned ver- much cleaner I guess? It's already upload onto Deviantart~

And while I wasn't sure this is the only LL doodles I will do, which feature UmiHonoEli, I am sure now; kinda gt more poses to do so... Gt another set done:

Featuring RinNicoMaki~ And 2-parts/moments special for the magnetic duo/couple~
Uploaded onto Deviantart~

Ideas from here:



The last NicoMaki couple moment(on the far right) is random thought out~(pretty much to fill the space and to show who that hooded char is~)

To sum up, the so-far-progress:
A) SET 1:

  • Captain Umi(So much want for that idolised UR...)
  • Vampire Honoka(really love that SR card><)
  • Knight Eli(just thought she seems to be the Saber material from her hair~)
B) SET 2:

  • Detective Rin(debating between Police or Detective- chose Detective cos it's cooler~ Plus I kinda based this design on Naoto Shirogane... So sry if it don't look like Rin-.-)
  • Skier Maki(Much influences from the collaboration between LL & Snow Miku~)
  • Rogue Nico(Real random~)
For now, don't hav any poses or inspiration for set 3 chars(realised I left the 'pure' gals in that set 0.0) Plus sch starting, it is a little hard...

And talking about doodles, here's a random one I did while waiting for my CCA to start:


Was practising my newly... Way to draw nicer shoes~ And then it became this to fill the space... You can say it's my reaction to my idol *o.o*) But I'm still bad with hand drawing- Umi's hand holding the drink can is still weird after multiple times of rubbing(the paper's gng tear soon...)

[Magican X Circus] LL Work

Still gt no inspiration for it so on hold for now... I will try work on the details of the outfits of Nico- haven't added since I chalked away after done with outline-.-

Compilation

I will be doing a compile soon and upload on Pixiv but nid to clear off the other series first so... And with sch, not sure when though... I will try get it out by the end of this mth or something... 

That's more or less of an update. It's gng get less frequent; I will update more on twitter & insta~ 

And so, till my next free time, this is Yaiji signing off, ja ne~
