Sketch

Hmm... don't I always draw Hirari with this sort of disenchanted look on her face?
It's probably my subconscious retaliation to all those years of drawing genki/moe-faced OCs.
No idea what clothes to draw them in, so I left scribbles instead. Haha.

Oldies collection~ (2006 & 2007)

Cleaned my room and found some old drawings of mine. It was fun looking at them but now that I'm posting them here, I feel terribly self-conscious. ^^;

2006 

Random OC - I wanted to draw a Japanese-style 'prince' type character xD; 

Hirari (was playing around with the calligraphy brush pen)

Saiseki Hirari

Hirari & Rikyou

Hirari & Hiioryuu... unfinished. 

Older Mineko from Helios Eclipse (a local comic series)

Hiioryuu in knitwear... rofl

Rikyou outfit design for artwork 'Maiden'

Adairel outfit design sketch (for 'Our Journey Begins Here' artwork on dA)

Valia Leiros (Cleyf's character) outfit design. This was the initial sketch.

Design for Hirari's RPG-ish outfit (the one in 'Dance').
I really like the hoodie but didn't actually draw her
wearing it like that in the final artwork.

2007

Rikyou in modern clothes. Lol.

Rikyou

This one's a lucky find: group pic zomg!! 8DD
This was drawn on lined paper; I was lazy to properly clean up all the lines on Photoshop. Bah.
Clockwise top: Hiio, Adairel, Some Dude, Naoya, Rikyou, Hirari

I'd been cleaning up my old OC pics I've never shown anyone before in hopes of making a 'timeline' or something (mainly to amuse myself) but since I kept procrastinating, it's going nowhere fast. And I'm also absolutely stumped as to how I'm actually gonna sort them all out. 

  

Sketch dump 2009-2010 (sounds grand. It's NOT. Haha.)

Well, most that I can find, anyways (and ones I don't feel too embarrassed showing lol).

Sketch dump year
2009-2010
(sounds grand but there
isn't much, really)

1.

Random doodles. Don't you feel like those hands don't appear to connect to their bodies? xD;

2-4. 

Designs for Gundam 00 OC. Still trying to figure her out, yeah. But I'm a bit distracted by something else right now so I don't know when I'll be able to get back to her. 

5.    

Hirari; from a random scene. 

6.    

Hirari with glasses. Was gonna submit to Patch Together but didn't. 

7.    

Another random scene. Hiioryuu fusses over a mysterious bruise on Hirari's face. xD 

(Hiioryuu: Let me see... Hirari: It's nothing! Really! Hiioryuu: Hold still! Hirari: NO! urgh...)

8.   

A collection of random doodles done while tuning-out lectures. I think I was in a bad mood, hence the finger. 

9.   

Old sketches - a random character and 2 of Rikyou. 

10. 

Singing girl. Was listening to Vocaloid covers by Nico2 singers.

11.

Mikana (old design) and Hirari. I like drawing Mika. She's tall and pretty and has a mature body. (- wut?). She's very different from Hirari, maybe that's what makes it fun. 

12. 

Hirari and Hiioryuu. The bond between two... (The pic makes me think of 'master & slave' haha)

13. 

Some doodles of Rikyou, Hiioryuu and Hirari... and a random cropped face. 

14. 

Age x Deianeira, my favourite OTP!!! <3 Heroic Age is one of my beloved anime of all time. OF ALL TIME!

15. 

A scene from a drabble of mine where Hirari enters Hiioryuu's subconscious and makes a bargain with his 'other', darker version of himself so she could save his life. Hiioryuu with long hair!

16. 

ROFL please don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to draw Hirari so 'loli'-looking here. xD;; 

17. 

Dancing salsa...? Or something. Lol~

Disney

No thanks to the new sneek peeks on Tangled, I now can't get it out of my head. Looking forward to the new Alan Menken songs (gosh, I hope they're good and they'll revert back to the 'old-school' type of Disney Princess songs. I wasn't fond of the Princess and the Frog jazzy numbers). I NEED NEW DISNEY SONGS!!! Gaaah!


I really should stop this feeling of anticipation... it will only make the waiting unbearable. 

Hirari, Disney-style. Well, I tried. 

I would upload that half-assed Rapunzel fanart I did during my internship in Animonsta (more relevant to this entry) but unfortunately I can't open the file cuz my SAI expired. ^^;

"We're all alone."

I finally cleaned up this old thing (it's probably over a year old, maybe more, so excuse the huge head, etc etc).

It's OC, Saiseki Hirari. A very typical composition I suppose, but I've always wanted to do something like this. And it's almost 5 am. I should sleep now.

Doodle 02

Look what I did during accounting class! Lol~

Some random melodramatic scene. Doesn't really have 

a storyline behind it, so don't think too much about it.

Yeah, it's Hirari and Hiioryuu. xD;

---

Soon I will be by my beloved

Who really was here,

With face enveloped

in two cold hands.

The long journey came to an end so,

In the middle of quiet tranquility,

I grieved alone

And cried just a little.

~ Gloria (Kalafina)

Doodle 01

Some dated stuff in my new sketch book. 
Ignore the funky anatomy. xD; 

RageDenialRageDenialRage

RAWRGH. For the life of me I don't understand why my scanner likes to crop stuff as it pleases. I didn't even so much as tweaked the settings. I don't know what in hells is going on with it. Can't fix it cuz there's nothing wrong with the settings and I tried scanning twice - still came out that way. BAH. Took a shitty snapshot with camera too.

Is very cranky because there's just 1 day left before I have to return to Cyberjaya - classes are fucking starting again. Damn it. 

Here is Hirari. I'll let you puzzle over the indiscernible details. Will scan again when less pissy. My plan is to finish this by tomorrow (upholding my tradition of a new drawing each time I have to leave for uni again) but don't think I can make it. Well, at least I'm drawing again, which by the way is a sure sign of something amiss - I always retreat to my comfort zone whenever I'm faced with things I don't particularly like to acknowledge or handle. Insisting on completing my drawings immediately is another definite indication that I am trying very, very hard to run away from the more pressing matters at hand.    

Saiseki Hirari

Please allow me to just get these two things out of my chest. I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO UNI! *throws childish tantrum* And I don't want to talk about my final project because I have no FUCKING clue! *rage* 

22 and still haven't grown up. Sorry.

So I'm straight in a straight line, running back to you

Hirari & Hiioryuu - Aa, the effects... -_-;

Without the effects. 

Omake

One day, I was bored. Wanted to draw but found the thought of dirtying my hands an annoyance. I toyed briefly with tegaki but it was lagging at the time so I opened Photoshop instead and started doodling. It went fine until PS decided to crash on me for absolutely no reason (I think it's more my PC's fault rather than the program's). Didn't even get the chance to save my work - was too preoccupied that I forgot. Fueled by a rebellious attitude, I started once more from square one while listening to various cover versions of Just Be Friends (originally by Vocaloid Megurine Luka).  

Many many mistakes in the pic. Hirari looks weird. Lol~ And I didn't colour-in the black part of Hiioryuu's hair. Maybe I'll rectify that on the 2nd round of touch-ups.  I'd probably go back to fix some off parts later. EDITED.

The PV of Just Be Friends may have influenced the outcome of the drawing in some ways. I think this song has one of the best Vocaloid PVs I'd ever seen. The simplicity and clean artwork was enormously appealing to me. Below are several covers that I like. I prefer to listen to real people singing Vocaloid songs xD.

うさ x ぷろれ (2nd fav version) | セリユ ft. けったろ (My fav version) | らっぷびと (Rap ver.) | Yamai (piano ver.) | 櫻井 piano ver. (her voice is good different. Just ignore the heavy 'Engrish' accent at the start xD;)

The ghost of days we can’t return to...

Hiioryuu and Rikyou

I'm so tired of this, yet part of me wants to see it done too (I want to colour Hiioryuu's hair *sigh*). It's a really old line art that I got stuck on for ages.  Just look at the nearly torn sketchbook. That's proof enough, lol. Have no clue what to put at the background there.

Rikyou looks like a rehash of Maiden. =_= On the other hand, I like drawing Hiioryuu with long hair. This is from way back when - before he met Hirari. I accidentally drew him overly 'manly' here. Oh no.  And I hate the bottom part of his outfit... I probably will have to re-think it again.

Don't know when I'm ever going to finish this.

The silence within the headphone...

Saiseki Hirari

静寂はヘッドフォンの中 by See-Saw is among my favourite Japanese songs and also one of the image songs for my (non-existent) story Hanne Monogatari. This was done July this year (also while I was in Les Copaque). I accidentally overwrote the original size file. *bangs head on desk* I didn't put much effort in cleaning this up - you can see how uneven my markering is thanks to the scanner enhancing every tiny bit of flaw. 

I was surprised I drew her toes quite well here. I suck at that usually.

I like drawing emo poses.

Translated the song myself since no translations were found at the time this entry was written. Naturally, there are probably lots of errors. I tried my best. 

---

Gradually fading from being something of importance

“It is only natural.”

So, I was told

The silence wraps around my lone headphone

As I search for your voice.

Your honest remarks, thrown straight at me

"It happens all the time."

I got through them with that single word

“Please split whatever burden you’re carrying in half.”

Why was it that I couldn't seem to say it? 

Back then, my feet were always getting soiled

in order for me to stand my ground 

It was perhaps still far too early to speak of kindness

The more we lay bare our feelings 

the closer we might come to find tranquility 

Is it that we shatter a beautiful scenery 

out of fear for something?

I don’t understand it myself

Why are you here?

I'd give you the st★rs if I could...

Saiseki Hirari - B★RS mode

What I did while waiting for Adobe After Effects to finish rendering during my short stint with Les Copaque. 

Don't think overly much about this, I was just fooling around. I call it Hirari's B★RS mode (ala the infamous Black★Rock Shooter of Hatsune Miku fame) because of the star hair-clip, basically. *shrug* And the whole... rugged, ready-to-kick-ass look.

Turn away, I don't want you to see me broken...

Hiioryuu & Hirari

Old sketch which was left to collect dust upon realizing that inking digitally only serves to multiply the workload instead of lessening it. So I got bored halfway.

There's a tear on the side of her cheek... you probably can't see.

Here's to my favourite emo couple. xD
