like we care whey#ther its doodles or not?! XD


your doodles are art in my eyes!

[Meilinrose]

More doodles, of a slightly higher-quality this time, but still evidence of the fact that I can't fucking draw XD

A couple of Andersongs, the full-pose was from the manga but the profile was from memory. These were quick sketches (it shows most on the skimpy shading, cross-hatched Andersong makes it look like he's wearing tweed) and the reason the one looks as though he has a wart on his nose is because I couldn't find a rubber while I was doing these. Go figure.



And an Integral that I doodled in the back of my French book (which explains teh pinkness). It's interesting how it came out considering I only had a biro to hand >_<



Didn't I promise actual art this time? bah ^_^; I have got a couple of things going at the moment, a young Walter/Alucard picture and a little but of AxA 'specially for Neil - hopefully I'll find some time this weekend to make as good a job of them as I can ^_^

[Froggie chan]

xD you said they wrent doddles... you obviously havent seen half of the shite i come up with when im doodling.. and i *never* use biro for doodles... i make too many mistakes ^_^;
anyways great work as always! Cant wait for the new pics! ^o^

[Maki-chan]

Hehe, I like the pinkness one, it's really coolies! ^_^ If you're a big Hellsing fan Caz-chan, take a look at Trinity Blood sometime. I think that you'd probably like it.

[Meilinrose]

Methinks I shall ^_^

Just one thing again, and *shock-horror* it's not manga-based art. Here's a preview as to my New Orleans project! Still not finished, I need to add more ribbons and crap.



Done in about an hour during the art lesson yesterday using oil pastels. I've never really used them before, but I just carried on regardless and had a go (a bit of advice for everyone there). The mouth looks slightly botoxed, but bah >_< I was experimenting with having a more pensieve expression under a guady Mardi Gras mask, not sure if it completely worked though...

Anyhoo, you can stop nagging now Amy XD

[Froggie chan]

oooo.. pretty!!
I like the bright colours with the contrast with the black background. I hope we can see it once its finished....

[Maki-chan]

Wow, that's really good for just an hour's work Caz-chan! Very bright and vivid colors. ^_^

[cookie munster]

thats goergous, really, really really, excellant, well dones

[Meilinrose]

Well, it's been two months and all I've got is stuff that I scribbled last night in another merry 1am jaunt ^_^ More promo stuff for "Dweeb", the comic strip which I'm probably never ever going to get round to working on. The pencil lead was wearing down a tad by the time I finished doing this, just like the batteries in my lamp so you'll have to excuse the crummy lineart.



No, I have no idea what's up with the anatomy. Just go with it ^_^

[Maki-chan]

Oooh, I like it Caz-chan!! The wings are coolies and so is the fro! Yaayy!! ^__^

[Meilinrose]

Yay, you liked teh afro ^_^ Thankies!

We had a power-cut today so I sadly couldn't continue with my English essay, but I *did* use the opportunity to get on with some painting. It's sounds cheesy, but I was inspired by Hans Holbein (I think his most famous painting was The Ambassadors), the insanely-good Tudor artist.



It's obviously not finished yet, I need to fill in the rest and add a few more layers to the dress yet ^_^; I was wondering if any of you could make any suggestions about what colour to paint the background! Neil said somehing about painting it dark black with one corner smoky grey to create a lighting effect which sounded good, but I was wondering what the rest of you thought too. Thanks!

[Maki-chan]

The darkness would work, but a natural setting might work too because the green would make a nice contrast to the red dress. Trees and whatnot can get complicated, so I'm not sure if you wanted to go that far into it. Also, keep the greens and browns dark, light colors would be painfully sharp.

[Meilinrose]

I was probably just going to do a dark background all one colour, if I get too in-depth with the background it might detract from the central figure in terms of detail. The sash is a sort of light yellow/cream so I'm not sure if a dark green would go with that - probably best with a very dark browny?

[Froggie chan]

Sorry I havent been here in soo long!
I love all the pics so far and as for the latest I agree with the idea neil came, maybe use something like candle light in the background for a lighting effect.. if you want to stay with the dark and light theme, but its your choice.
