i'm losing it...

This must be fever! i did draw a fan art!

Fan art's really not my thing cuz it makes me dizzy staring to my reference then to my drawing then to reference then draw it and the cycle repeats forever.

But i really did it! I'm glad I did.

Yoshitaka Amano's my most favourite character designer. Second to him is Tetsuya Nomura. Eversince that first glance at Amano's Kuja and Kefka art, I fell in love with it immediately and wanted to draw it. Unfortunately, Amano's art is so NOT fan art-able, cuz his style is sooo unique and detailed that you can't understand it. So i waited for T. Nomura's dissidia renditions, and my! What a failure!

My random thoughts about Nomura's Amano Renditions for Dissidia...
1) Butz: is this a fan art? or an original nomura design?
2) Terra/Tina: he did not get the right flower-y pattern on that gurl'z dress
3) Kefka: did he get lazy over the clown details?
4) Zidane/ Kuja: he should've followed the amano concept, not the SD zidane/ kuja from the game itself!
5) The rest are just magnificently done!
*) These thoughts are just my PERSONAL OPINION!

I said in my previous journal that i would draw KefkaXKujaKissing, but if i do that, i won't be able to make the most out of their detail, so i just did them with their own glamour poses!

Color!? How will i color it? Will i color it? Do i know how to color it?

After drawing these 2 guys (gals?), i realized, after years of wanting to draw them because i thought the design was sooo original, if you look at it closely, Kuja's design was actually just a rip off of Dragon Ball Z characters, and that Kefka's outfit is just stupid and very asymmetrical!

In conclusion, I LOVE IT!

I was strolling the mall one time then suddenly it appeared at last! Sandman: The Dream Hunters by Neil Gaiman, Illustrations by Yoshitaka Amano. The art is just breathtaking and the story is...I've yet to finish it.

I also got a copy of the ever elusive Moonchild movie starring Gackt and Hyde. The plot was simple, yet really interesting. kinda a Japanese counterpart of Interview with the Vampire. I love Gackt! I love Hyde! but they both love each other! Haha!

Please I'm really in desperate need of playing Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova!

I wanno draw Yoshitaka Amano fan art but I just can't! I wanna draw KKK! (Kefka and Kuja Kissing each other!) Hehe I'mso naughty! Artist's block, please go away!

clubs:

semestral break at last! in preparation for my vacation, i went to quiapo and spent almost 400 pesos on various shounen ai/yaoi titles

These i like!

Ai No Kusabi - no.1 on my list! so tragic! love the story and the artwork! i really like the realistic anime style of this one! tragic endings always break my heart, meaning the story is very well weaved

Kizuna - 2nd placer! sex comedy! really funny and naughty! not your typical angst story between 2 men, which is rare. i love it!

Lesson XX - the title may seen like it's porn, but it's not, actually its an innocent high school romance

Haru wo Daiteita - a sensual anime with a good story

Level C - omg a 5 minute story plus lot of bed scenes equals hentai!

Bronze Zetsuai - so sad!


These i didn't like!

Loveless - a 12-episode anime series that just bored me

Boku wa konomama kaeranai and Fish in the trap - i really like the classic anime art style but the thing is, the story is too short!

Hope when my allowance returns (my mom doesn't give me cause it's vacation), Quiapo is not out of stock of the rest of the shounen ai/ yaoi i still haven't bought yet

i found a 30min anime OVA of Final Fantasy VII. the art style is much like that of Tetsuya Nomura (FF7 style). it basically revolves around Zack, Cloud, Tifa and Sephiroth

pls pls pls! i wanna draw fan art but i just can't! i just can't stay away from drawing original character designs!

summer vacation is over! have to attend school again, thank goodness i have several gorgeous classmates to motivate me to study (and not flirt mind you!). unfortunately, less time will again be dedicated to drawing, PS2, movie marathon, malling, KTV, etc. i'm just glad i was able to learn a bit of adobe photoshop during the vacation i had. at first it's really confusing but when you get the hang of it, it's quite fun. i'm still learning how to color like those in video games and i will learn it! (in due time).

allowance is back! have to save money for a new cardigan (since the weather will soon be cold), accessories, perfumes, DVD movies and games.
