So today’s fan art is none other than the infamous Mirai Suenaga, Danny Choo’s OC and mascot! There wasn’t many fan art’s of her in chibi form and since I like nendoroids I thought I make her look like one ^^ I upped the ante and put her with a firefighter hat and hose *hint hint*

For those of you who don’t know there is an anime in production called Chinka, and Mirai Suenaga will be featured in it as a maid in a cafe.  So I thought I’d throw in the hat and hose to symbolize that she is apart of the anime ^^ I made the hat in the uniform color the other girls wear in Chinka as well as the health badge. Anyways, lets get on to the drawing!

So this is the initial sketch, done with pencil and inked with Pigma Sensei .3 ink. I usually draw my sketches or whatever on paper first then scan it to the comp. YES! it does add to the completion time (about 30 min or so) but I can’t make the drawing on Sai since I don’t have a tablet

So here’s the picture lined in Sai, this is the longest part for me, took me about an hour or two to finish, and I didn’t get any further than sketch one, total waste of time but I have to do it since I don’t have a pen tablet and I like the lines clean.

And here is the final product. I’m really happy the way it turned out(especially for my second time using Sai), I think I’m getting the hang of the shading and highlights, though I still need a lot of practice ^^ This style isn’t what I’m really going for, I like the hard shadows you see in most anime drawings but it’s something I can’t do at the moment

Anyways I hoped you liked it and make sure to come back next monday for another piece by me ^^ Remember that I’m doing this for you guys (also to practice my drawings skills but more so for you guys ^^) so if you guys want to see artwork every monday, remember to give feedback ^^

Check here and here for better resolutions of the final drawing

So starting from oldest to most recent, this was a drawing I did about 2-3 years ago, was me and an Ex-girlfriend ^^

Again, 2-3 years ago, was into pokemon a lot back then (not the series just the game) thanks to the DS. This was a hybrid between my 2 favorite legendaries, Ho-Oh and Articuno. Loved Ho-Oh’s design but also liked Articuno’s colors, so I decided to put them together ^^

About 2 years ago, long story lol ^^ Was in a drawing community and for some reason they drew a lot of dogs/wolves ‘o’ so I decided to join the crowd (just like today’s silly bands xD) it was supposed to be me and my wolf form, really liked how it turned out but I don’t like the idea of drawing animals, some people draw like half animal and human, something I CAN’T stand! >< There’s me also me in the corner for anybody that cares, though I came out darker than I thought xD (I’m tan but not burnt tan)

Something you should’ve already saw, drew about a month ago

Drew this about a week and a half ago. This was for a challenge about twins, I originally was just gonna have Lexy (left) as an OC for an Anime I want to do (Yes I want to make an anime ^^) but the challenge inspired me to give her a twin, Lance (right) ^^ though the coloring is sloppy, I really screwed up on the table on paper(real deal) so decided to edit it in some cheap program, came out better than I thought, also added some color to the BG to make it more interesting ^^

WHOA! Big jump in terms of quality/media ^^
This was a drawing I made a few days ago for a challenge on theOtaku. I recently downloaded Sai (fan made ver.) and decided to put my newbie skills to the test. Was a little challenging and time consuming getting used to the tools and layers(never done anything digitally) but found some tutorials that helped me get adjusted ^^

This is Noctis from the upcoming FF versus XIII game. Not bad for having no experience in Sai, let alone any other editing program ^^ Wish I had a tablet though, would be 10x better than using my stupid mouse >< But I think I may start making all my drawings digitally since 1. its cheaper than buying materials and 2. it looks more pro and better overall than what I’m currently using.

But that’s it!…yup only 6 completed drawings that I’ve done over the span of 3 years xD Though I’ve doodled a ton but it’s only been character designs and random boredness. I’m not really a fan of drawing too much. but I’ve only recently gotten more into it because I’m having fun drawing OC’s, digital also is pretty fun, especially once you’ve finished it xD but the dream of having an Anime (could care less about Manga but if it’s the only way to make an anime then I’d have to make a manga first :/) is I think, what is really making me draw more. Hope you like my pictures and expect to see more =]

(click image for bigger resolution) Personally I can’t wait for Highschool of the Dead (I’m sure that’s what everybody is anticipating ^^)

So here’s my list of Anime worth watching (IMO) I’ve watched the 1st ep of most of them

• Highschool of the Dead – Do I need to explain ;D
• Mitsudomoe – Not your traditional anime but it is hilarious xD (so far) kinda perverted though for an anime about middle schoolers(?)
• Seitokai Yakuindomo – Pretty good (though male lead is rather boring) but again a little perverted (good thing ^^’)
• Ookamisan to etc… (long title) – Pretty good, might be worth watching
• Shukufuku no Campanella – looked alright, might be worth watching
• Amagami SS – looked alright, might be worth watching
• Asobi ni Iku Yo – Don’t know anything about it but the main character girl looks cute ^^
• Cat Shit One – Cool title plus animals with guns, hell yah!

and that’s my list for “anime to watch out for” There may be others but for now this list looks pretty healthy ^^ You can see most of these anime episodes on Watch Anime On.com

So what anime are you guys interested in this summer? oh and does anybody know when BRS is coming out?

Point is: The guy with the bigger sword gets the girls

Hope you enjoyed this little tid bit ^^ The next thing I’ll be doing is an anime review (yay) of Angel Beats! so expect that in a day or two. For more “high res” pics of this tid bit go to my figure.fm account

Of course this is done traditionally as you can see, its been a LONG time since I colored so that’s why it probably looks like that. I would love to do digital art but I don’t have the fancy programs (Nor skill) to create those kind of artwork yet, so its just pencil and paper for now ^^

Now for who the heck these characters are, to the left you have my favorite gundam which is Throne Zwei and the guy on the right is my new OC (original character) I’m currently coming up with ^^ I originally made this for a challenge on theOtaku and the challenge was for new members to show off their talent, this isn’t my best but thought it was still submittable. I was gonna make Throne Zwei just kinda there (at an angle) and my OC standing on its shoulder but i couldn’t get everything right so just decided to draw the faces.

Throne Zwei was just thrown in there to add to the cool factor. My OC is the main purpose of the drawing. I’m gonna try to create my own anime (maybe >.>) So he is the main character, I have the female lead as well (which I’ll reveal later) but still needs work. I had trouble deciding the hair/eye color of him, but after a few version I quickly did on some cheap program, I think black hair and blue eyes work best. Here’s the final version I decided to give him: (though after deciding I found out he does look like he could pass as Black rock shooters brother ^^’)

I’m still coming up with his design like his outfit, name(lol) and other things but I’ll try to keep you updated. If you got any name ideas for him drop a  comment,but it has to do with my blog title, might help you come up with one ^^ As for the blog itself, I decided to now proceed on making it more active, I’ve finally gave up on my figure.fm approval status and will now make more post for the few that are reading, see you guys soon!

I’ve created a new page called “Currently watching” which basically is what it is, anime I’m currently watching ^^ so check that if you haven’t, other things I’ve been doing is getting the feel of wordpress again, seems like ages since I last used it so I’ve been messing with stuff and what not. The theme I’m using doesn’t allow a sidebar which I’m really bummed about but it still looks sweet and I like the orange accents here and there, goes good with my banner ^^But the blogroll and cats (categories) are at the footer so if your lost go there.

I want to post some anime reviews up but I want figure.fm’s feed to go up first(which is currently pending still >.>), so I can get the most out of the post. So far most don’t know I even exist so hopefully when that goes up I can start getting this blog to what it should be for you guys =] Check back often and if you want your blog to be added to my blogroll, shout out ;] I can’t leave you guys empty handed so here’s a gif. I created real quick with Sakura and O gundam ^^

Its Roy from Blueplains, decided to make a new site and start fresh since BP died out. I will now go by JP since its 1 letter shorter than Roy ^^ Hopefully this site will hold out longer and be better than what blueplains was. As for what this site is about, mostly just anime reviews and random goodies here and there. Might be getting back into drawing (doodled some original chars. already) so maybe I’ll upload some and who knows maybe start a manga or something, but don’t get your hopes up

Anyways and enjoy your stay here at Jiyuu Past the Skyline and stay tuned for more
