My Favourite Artists
Why am I showing you guys my favourite artists? Ermm...I really don't remember why...I got so caught up in it that I forgot...XD
These are my favourite artists based on lineart and style. There are other artists I like, but they're mostly just colouring and not enough attention on the lineart and style (and forgot the Persona artist...>.>). So by what their numbers are:
1. Kanon Wakeshima (also love her music and clothes, I really look up to her in so many aspects)
2. Takeshi Okazaki (I don't know what it is about his art, but it's just so inspirational and amazing to look at....O.O)
3. Range Murata (I think everyone likes this artist! XD I like how draws bodies and makes the lines so smooth and make the picture so life-like....O.O)
4. Kaori Minakami (I love her adorable pictures and just her drawing style in general. It's so beautiful)
5. Kano Yasuhiro (actually, I don't particularly like his style, but he's a genius when it comes to writing manga)
6. Rain (
I am always speechless looking at their art. It's absolutely amazing.)
7. Nao Goto (Their art is sooo cute! I just like her soft style, it's so cute! <333)
8. Mitsuba Takanashi (I love this artist to death but I rarely talk about them...I'm not sure why...O.o I guess I just forget...XD)
9. Nona (I talk about them a lot, I love them for so many reasons! TT^TT)
10. Katagiri Ikumi (artist for Are you Alice, they have some wicked character designs. <333)
11. Ayumi Kasai (This is probably my favourite artist out of all of these. I just love all the genius designs and detail into everything. Even the lineart has extra detail put into it! TT^TT)
12. Hato Rami (I like the doll-like cuteness of her drawings, they're so adorable!)
13. Ayami Kojima (TT^TT SOOO GORGEOUS! Ughhh...how she draws eyes, you just get lost staring at them...)
14. Kusonoki Rinka (artist for Shirokuro Kitan...Every page I just stare at when reading that manga...It's so awesome looking...)
15. Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (this might be because I like NGE, but I do love this artist's style, but I don't know why...O.o)
16. Asako Takaboshi (I don't like her coloured or covers for her manga, but when reading the manga itself the pictures are GORGEOUS)
17. Takeshi Obata (of course, but I'm still disappointed in him. Still, his art is amazing)
18. Samura Hiroaki (I love this artist, but sometimes his art is...painful...from a woman's perspective...O.o But I do love how he draws faces)
19. Kaori Yuki (I love her style, but sometimes I don't, it just depends on the picture. Sometimes it's blah and sometimes it's absolutely amazing.)
20. Zakkyou (The artist for the Toradora! manga, I don't know if it's their style or just trying to match the original art, but I really love the style for Toradora! It's adorable! <333)
Yep, yep. I'm going to change my style again. Because I've come to the realization that my style is made for colouring, not lineart! TT^TT And what's manga? Lineart with tones...TT^TT So I'm going to come up with something, but I'm stealing Kanon's way of doing hair...kinda...I was kinda already doing that...O.o I just never did it with long hair...well, yeah, I did, with Yukiko...But her hair isn't curly.
But I think that if I start drawing hair in that way it'll push me to get a different style to compliment that. And I need to draw eyelashes...TT^TT Have you noticed that I don't draw ANY? And all my favourite artists except for a few...but those guys are exceptions 'cause the pictures are of boys, not girls ('cept for Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, but I seriously don't know why I like his style). So I need to figure out how to draw more detailed eyes...
And noses and stuff...Actually, nothing in my artwork is detailed, which I need to work on because all of my favourite artists have a lot of detail of some kind.
I might work on traditional pictures tomorrow...I should buy some more art supplies or something...>.> I actually kinda like traditional over CG because I get more into it when I do it traditionally, but when I do CG I keep forgetting about what I'm doing or lose interest.
Should I make that a meme? To post a list of your favourite artists...? I should make it a DA kinda meme...Or maybe like a style meme or something....O.o
Actually, I do something like that..maybe...O.o Hrmm..
But I say you guys should make a list like mine of your favourite artists! Go do it now! Or when you have the time...
O.o I just knocked down my drinking glass and it broke...O.o And I didn't see any glass shards on the floor, just on the table...but I'm kinda worried...
Anyways, bye-bye! ^ ^
Another post, sorry..XD
I was just looking at the comments I got when I posted a picture a REALLY long time ago on gaia. And I asked them if it's good for my age, and at that time I was like 13...And a lot of them were nice and not very mean and a lot of them told me that age doesn't matter and I've learned that it really doesn't, but then I read this comment:
Wakusei Ayu (this is what I said)
I kinda feel discouraged already. Don't get mad at me for saying this, but I am an extremely sensitive person. This is not my best work and I didn't ink it. I just sketched a picture for my friend because I had a bad artists block and then photoshopped it really quickly so it's just a bad, simple sketch. I didn't have any of my good pictures uploaded yet so I just uploaded whatever seemed complete(as in not fixed).
(This is what they said)
Um.
Okay, well so what?
People are criticizing THIS work, and if your going to post your art on a website don't expect everyone to be nice.
Your sensitive?
AW, CRY ME A ******** RIVER.
Don't post your art and ask for an opinion if your going to go cry to your mommy everytime someone makes a negative comment.
And stop using age as an excuse.
Art is simple and beautiful, and asking if its "good for a thirteen year old" just crushes it.
*cough* Yeah...I was a little 13-year-old girl. Very naive and actually REALLY sensitive, now, not so much. But if you look at my old comments I sound really depressed and very sensitive. So when I said sensitive I MEANT sensitive. And this idiot shoves that in my face...O.o Why? Do they not understand what kind of kid they're talking to? I could go and cause suicide just of or a comment like that.
It's comments like those to younger members that are REALLY hurtful because little kids are filled with butterflies and think the world is great, but when you tell things to them like that it's really rude.
And here's another one:
Excuses, excuses. So what? Do you think an Art Director's going to sympathize if you're "extremely sensitive?" Hell no. If you're so sensitive then you'll never make it in the art world. It's pretty much a requirement to develop a tough skin when trying to break it in the art world.
And no, you're not great for a 13 year old. You're average. Period. Just because you're 13 doesn't mean people are going to be nice. And don't go looking for asspats either. People develop at different ages. I saw a man who started to learn to draw at 25. He sucked the first time, like really bad. Now look at him. A year of learning and sweating blood and tears has gotten his paintings hanging at an Art Museum. Yeah, it's exciting to see a young person draw amazing stuff, but that's not important. The ending piece of art, the beauty of it and the essence in it is important, not the artist's age.
It would've been fine at first, but then they kinda kept going. BE NICE TO THEM IF THEY'RE 13! I'm nice to kids when they're 13, why can't other people be? Yes, they need to learn, but you can just learn from TV, that's what I did...Actually no, I think it was from the kids at my new school and how rude they were and every time I cried they'd look at me like I wasn't even human and that was really crushing. So then for a year a became emotionless, then really mean,and now I'm myself because I have no classes with those evil kids! >:(
But I know they meant well. Just people need to be aware of tones.
This is a good example of telling somebody like little me what I needed:
Ay...You an me both (as in the sensitivity)
Really, people such as yourself really have to stop looking at your age and start looking at what you think of it yourself. If you don't think it's good, don't post it. Here in the pic post, a lot of people will critique it in a sensible manner. If they go on flaming you for bad art, obviously you've got the options in your hands but I won't exactly lay down possibilities.
Now anyways, about the pic. I never got the chance to look at it and probably won't. Having said anything about your age, especially in your wording "is this good for 13 year old", well I really can't say much in the case of your art but rather your thinking.
There really is no minimum you've got to live up to, so a message to everyone: stop mentioning your age stare . The worst post you can ever get when you mention your name in your pic thread is not the people who discourage you, but those who encourage you when there are clear ways of improving yourself. Not that I'm assuming this, but judging from past threads and replies, people have been giving encouragements where there are several problems that could have been and can be corrected in mere future.
Sorry if I sounded mean, or discouraged you in any other way. Obviously the message has been getting to peoples' heads considering the previous posts. But coincidentally, people are getting the message a little too well. Really, relax. It's not that big of a deal that she said she was 13. It would have been nice just to throw in a few critiques (which are present). Although, just I would like to quote this: if I was 13 yesterday, and 14 today, would my skills in drawing be any better than the day before? Take it at that
Oh and good luck with your pics.
Well, anyways, I'm using gaia to get critiques. BUT I GET NONE! All they tell me is that they really like it or that thy can't really seem to think of anything I can change. Which makes me mad because I KNOW my picture isn't really that good. Or they post really random things that make no sense...>.>
I'll try whatever I can to improve, I'm even more motivated by reading these old comments. And I'm thinking of buying a sketch book. Sounds like there is no point to that since I can draw on here any day and not waste any materials...BUUT I have a problem with paying attention...XD So I can only draw one picture a day or attempt to draw a picture.
Well, that's about it. Sorry for spamming you guys. Just trying to let you guys know that if you're talking to younger members, or any member, BE NICE! ABSOLUTELY NICE! You have no clue what they're going through on the other end.
The mysterious e-mail...O.o
I just e-mailed one of my friends and then I got the idea to e-mail all my old friends that I haven't e-mailed in years. But then I realized they probably aren't using the same e-mail and I don't know who most of the people in my contacts list are...O.o I wish it'd tell me or something...>.>
Anyways, I remembered an old e-mail that my Taiwanese friend sent me. But it was in Chinese, so I don't know if that was a mistake or not. But it had .lnk files attached...But then I learned that if they're only a little bit of KB then they're worthless....and they were...so I'm not really sure. But when I translate it (of course the translation is terrible) it sounds like they're the pictures that we took a LOOONG time ago on Halloween. If they were I wanted to show you guys them! XD But I don't think they are...
But I feel like e-mailing her out of randomness. But I wonder if she forgot about me or something or has no clue who I am! XD I also want to e-mail my old Korean friend...but again, I wonder if these people will remember me...
And then there are those who don't have hotmail accounts or e-mail accounts on e-mailing websites...So I'm not sure if I should e-mail them, they might not use those anymore.
Or should I just do it for the heck of it to see if it works! XD
I will...Now that I think about it...Though it makes me nervous thinking about the replies...Oh, well...
I'll come back to this. I don't know what else to say, but I'll get something to say once I come back.....*goes off*
...Gehhh...I sent one, but it's taking forever to send...And I'm so nervous I'm shaking. Well, I'd like to talk to my friends again...but...I don't like talking to people accidentally if they don't know who I am...and I might not know who they are.
I'm done...TT^TT Such a nerve wrecking thing...And I'm still shaking. Well, I sent an e-mail to a friend that I haven't talked to since 6th grade and I only met once, but I spent the whole day with her. Because we went to an Academic match thingy and my class was on a long field trip to this match thingy to try and see if we were good or not, I really can't remember why, but she was in my brother's class and so I knew her from him and I was immediate best friends with her. That seems to happen with foreigners...O.o
My best friend from Wales, England (actually, she was the closest friend I've ever had), my best friend from Korea (the one I was talking about), my other best friend from Korea, my best friend from Taiwan, my other best friend from Korea (this one I was best friends with in 2nd grade, but then she wasn't there the next year...or was it the year after that? I can't remember, but apparently she was only nice to me and she was evil to everyone else...O.o I never noticed that, though), my best friend from Mexico (well, most of my friends were hispanic, this is El Paso I'm talking about, people), my best friend from Japan (I think she was from Japan, she loved Hello Kitty and ate home cooked Japanese food for lunch...I fought over her with my enemy because I was new and apparently she was friends with her already even though she wasn't...evil little girl...>:( I think she was mad because one of the boys in my class who she liked liked me...Which now that I look back at it, that made a TON of sense ), and I can't really remember anybody else...I had a friend from Venezuela...who was absolutely awesome...XD...And there were other Korean students but I didn't talk to them much. But my mom was really good friends, or had a really good teacher to student relationship with these two Korean girls and a Thai girl...And I think a Vietnamese girl...and a Chinese girl (though she was Chinese American, so I don't think that counts)....and a Persian girl. Oh, yeah! Three best friends who were Persian, they were sisters. But I was closest to the youngest sister, but that's only because I had a class with her and she was in my brother's class.
I'm sure there were more, I just can't remember. But I don't know anybody who isn't from America in my school...except for this one kid from Guatemala, but he is a JERK. I think it's because I thought that the kids who were being nice to him were actually nice, when they're big jerks and idiots and perverts and I'm just afraid to be in the same room with them even though I have classes with them...TT^TT Ermm...had, hopefully I won't since I'm going to be in almost all Honors classes next year (because this year they weren't offered).
And I'v been in an art block ever since I bought Grimm's Fairy Tales...Wait, did I already say that? Well, I have...
And I am drawing a picture of Ed Elric for one of the winners of my challenge. And you guys should know I CAN'T DO IT!! TT^TT All I need to do it colour it...buut....it's soo...UGGHHHH!! I really hate his character design, he's hideous (I don't understand his fangirls), and the colours of him are hideous together. And I don't even know what he's like...>.> So I drew something....>.> It doesn't really look good because I had NO PASSION AT ALL when drawing him. And I feel bad for that, but I JUST CAN'T DO IT!! TT^TT
I'm going to make a rule after I draw that picture I WILL NOT DO ANY MORE FMA ART REQUESTS OR INUYASHA ART REQUESTS. I dunno about Naruto or Bleach...nobody's asked for them yet and I'm not sure if I will or not. I like some of the character designs for Bleach and Naruto. I don't like any for Inuyasha (even as fluffy as Sesshoumaru is) or FMA...Well, maybe some, but I really don't like the main characters. They're all hideous.
Oooh! Man! I just got a good idea! Or, fun idea! I'm going to look up my name then my full name and see what I get...Omigosh...I got a picture of my brother with the Academic Team...I'd show it to you guys...buuut....if you see where it's from, then that's a bad thing. And I also see my art that I entered into an art contest...O.o And then I used my full name and I got Halle Berry! XD
I looked up my friends name and I actually found a picture of her! XD But she's REALLY tiny...so I'm not showing it...XD If it was huge I would definitely show it (no I wouldn't). Okay, I typed in her friend and I actually got several big pictures of her, from facebook...Ahh, I feel like a stalker. But seriously, you can look them up on youtube and they don't even hide their identities AT ALL.
And I just found a picture, a REALLY good picture of my old friend...
WOAH!! ALL OF OUR FIRE ALARMS WENT OFF...O.o I dunno why. I say they need new batteries because we couldn't find any smoke or anything similar, not even on the roof...ANOTHER MYSTERY!! DUN-DUN-DUUUN!!!
Now I'm not tired...and now I can't sleep...guhhh...Guess I'll stay up later tonight! >:)
I've run out of things to talk about, now I'll just go play around...
WAIIIT!!
GUYS!! Lemme send you guys a link to an awesome dress-up game website:
What I do for most of my inspiration for characters is play dress up games. But lately I haven't really been thinking much about new characters or fashion or anything, but they're still fun to play. One of the artists (well, the one who makes the best games) has an account on DA and MB. I can't remember their name and I'm too lazy to look it up. But you should go play them for fun or inspiration! ^ ^
Okay! Bye-bye! ^ ^
Meme thingy...because it's not my piece of mind...XD
I read this on zero-guardian's world and so now I'm tagged...XD
Rules:
-Tag at least 6 people.
-Be honest...
01. What's your favorite things about theOtaku?
The kindness, the fact that it's not that huge like DA, and that a lot of the members are still learning to draw art and we can all learn together. Also this site doesn't feel so strict and organized like other sites. It doesn't make me scared every time I post something! <333
02. What's the most detestable things you found in this site?
The size restriction on submissions...and the reply box thing because I can never close it! TT^TT Aaannnd...the chat room thing...just because I'm not that kind of person...and the Member Introductions because nobody really looks at them. And that's about it (sounds like a lot, but they're really little things).
03. What's your hope when you subscribe to someone?
That they'll update a lot with interesting stuff.
04. If you're given one chance to change a feature in this site, what would that be?
Have the submission file size be bigger. The 3 a day thing is fine because one websites like MB, I get really irritated when people post a TON of art one after the other...it's like spamming...even if they're good artists, it gets really annoying.
05. Do you like meeting new members, and why and why is that?
I don't really know that I'm talking to new members, but if I find a new member, I'm happy if they post art. ^ ^
06. What do you like most in some of theO members?
Their kindness and who they are. I like to read what people write in their comments boxes and on their worlds because I find who they are as a person to be very interesting.
07. Do you have something you hate in some of the members?
Actually, I do dislike some of the members on here. I don't like the kinds of people who are pretty good artists, but aren't absolutely awesome and the best (like on MB) and they get a ton of subscribers and tons of comment and favourites and votes even if their picture is pathetic and not very good and they don't really comment on anything else unless it has to do with them. I hope nobody knows who I'm talking about! XD
08. Lastly, what do you think of these questions? And do you hope it was never made?
It was fun and interesting! 
repost this as:
...(your name)...'s piece of mind...
I tag anybody who wants to do this! ^ ^
AIR! AIR! PLEEEAAASSEEE!! TT^TT
So I went to community chat. I have no clue how that thing works and everyone is talking to fast and it feels like I'm drowning....TT^TT I don't like them...
But I do feel like RPing something...but I don't know where or how I am going to RP something...Because I forgot my passwords on neopets, and my birthday that I put in, and it's not even that good of a place to RP...>.>
I went on Gaia, also. I felt like trying out new things! XD I asked for critiques...but Gaia makes my internet so slow so I'll just look at the replies to my topic later...>.>
But I get rather annoyed when I ASK for CRITIQUES and all they tell is that it's good or they like it, not CRITIQUES...>.>
And my dear friend told me that she gets on a lot, told me that she will PM me her new account, well, she's never on and she never PMed me..so I won't get to talk to her until school starts up again...Gehhh...>.>
So, yeah, anyways. Anybody willing to RP..ermm...something with me? Like right now? Liiike...medieval, fantastical, or something japanese? Or futuristic? Because I'm rather bored.
If you guys don't see this until tomorrow or something, know that I usually get on around 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm at latest. This is because I sleep really late and eat breakfast and there might be something good on...like The Colbert Report or The Daily Show...or a stand-up comedian that's actually funny. There was ONE guy who was actually funny, but he wasn't really that funny...O.o
Oh, and I just thought about something. Anybody ever commission somebody something and never actually get what you asked for...It always turns out for me that I either don't tell them the exact details as to what I want, or I tell them the wrong ones. Like when I asked for a commission of my OC Alice, since she's black and white and apparently black clothes with white hair means evil...O.o Well, the artist gave me back a very blood picture...O.o It was good, but that's not Alice, she also wasn't a little girl. Also I always seem to commission the asian americans...XD I don't know why...XD Well they're usually the only artists with cheap commissions or the only people with commissions...there was a guy there with really good art, but his prices were like 20 dollars for just a sketch...While the other people say only 10...And then it goes up like 30 dollars for better quality. And they weren't even my style...O.o
I kinda feel like I want to be one of those people doing the commissions for people in the anime conventions....but then I think about all the neato stuff I'll be missing (like Quaff interviews, of course I can go to that and leave for one hour, but it's too much of a fuss) and then the people I don't know coming up to me and asking for yaoi commissions...TT^TT Like, they tell me and then if I don't like the sound of it I say no. Or that I won't let them commission characters from Inuyasha, FMA, Bleach, or Naruto...Or just not existing characters because I'm not good with that! XD Unless they provide a picture and they aren't from any of the shows I listed. I just can't draw the characters...there's not passion...and I'll procrastinate or end up giving them a really poorly drawn picture...TT^TT
So, to the point, I don't think I should do commissions at anime conventions....ever...But in the future I might do them on the internet, just saying. I WILL do commissions, just not at anime conventions. My mom doesn't like Pay Pal for some reason, but then when I told her that I can earn money drawing with commissions, but I need Pay Pal to do that, then she went 'Ohhh...' So maybe she'll let me get a Pay Pal account, finally. Just not now because my art is crap right now! XD
I dunno if I'm in an artblock, or what. But ever since I bought DOGS and Grimm's Fairy Tales today, I've not been doing anything. I think I have this problem that I can be very patient, but I won't be do anything during that time. So if I'm waiting...I will do nothing but kill time and wait...So I hope it comes...Thursday? It would ship tomorrow, and then come Thursday, hopefully...Unless it comes tomorrow! Err...I'm too excited! XD And I'm waiting too much...
Also, whenever I step into my room and look at my desk (filled with papers and copics and drawing supplies) I want to draw something traditionally. But then I remember that if I draw something, colour it well, then want to post it on here...I CAN'T SCAN IT!! TT^TT I have a scanner, but it puts a big line through the whole thing. I'm kinda sad remembering that I wanted to enter that crayon challenge...but I couldn't scan my picture right because of that big line...TT^TT
Well, even if I have that line I still want to scan this one picture that I drew during exams. It reminds me of Gackt-sama! XD
And my cat is staring at my hands while I type. I know that sounds cute, but it's really scary because she has this serious look on her face like she wants to bites my hands off...I gave her some water...She's acting weird...O.o And a bit scary...O.o
Wow...my brother just distracted me again...He kept talking to me on Skype...very annoying...>.> What's Golden Boot? It said that you could talk about that for free...Why they're advertising that, I don't know? Especially when we are already talking for free...And yet again my brother interrupts my typing...TT^TT
My mom just told me that she used the slow shipping thing so I'm probably not going to get my books until NEXT WEEK! TT^TT I can't wait that long...
And I just thought I'd tell you guys, because when I tell you guys things I won't do them. So I was thinking of creating a youtube alias. I would do song covers and dance covers of songs and dances I like (maybe some commentary stuff) while wearing my signature sun glasses (which I don't have any...O.o) and my black turtle neck and kenpo pants...Yep. And I'd be all totally anti-social and would be totally secret and answer questions in riddles...But I don't think I'll ever do that....hopefully not...Because it just seems to be a distraction...learning dances and then filming and what-not...>.> Plus I don't like to perform in front of my family...I don't know why...O.o
It's very embarrassing. Maybe because one day I was singing on Karaoke Revolution and then my parents came in and laughed and mocked me...So now I'm forever scarred...TT^TT But that's probably not the reason...still...anytime I hear the song 'My Girl' I get really embarrassed...TT^TT
And speaking of Gackt-sama...up there...I'm DYING to see the trailer for Bunraku! I wanna hear Gackt-sama speak English with an American actor! ^ ^
My 'g' key and 'w' key aren't working very well...
Speaking of keyboards, every time I study my Japanese it always reminds me of my friend. Because she brought her laptop to school (actually, the YMCA...it was a Lock In...it was very fun), and she's Taiwanese and doesn't really speak that much English so she was typing in Chinese and I was really confused because as she was typing the characters on the screen kept changing and I noticed that she kept using other strange buttons. And her keyboard was English and Chinese...O.o It was a really weird sight...But I think I understand, now. Because you can write some words in Kanji and in hiragana, so she was probably typing in normal Chinese and then it turned into traditional Chinese on certain words just like hiragana and Kanji. So I always keep that in mind.
And I read a TINY bit of my Sailor Moon manga which is only in Japanese (straight from Japan) and it was a little description of Tuxedo Mask. I think it said that he is always there when the Sailor Senshi need help. Because it said something like Itsumo Sera Senshi tasu wo tasukete...something something...I can't remember the romaji! XD But I was kinda confused because, I didn't read the kanji, I just read the hiragana over the Kanji, but I thought that there is usually romaji over the kanji now. So I looked at the year it was published...and it was in 1995...XD Now that explains everything...XD I'd like to read a manga that has recently been published because I think the writing would look different. Also, I heard that they're writing from left to write nowadays...but my manga is written from top to bottom...right to left...(I know because it has arrows pointing which way it's read...for some reason...O.o). But I'd like to read my Sailor Moon manga, first.
And the romaji for Tuxedo Mask is something like Takitsudo Kamen...it's really weird. I thought it'd be more like Takusido...O.o And Japanese is actually really easy to read even though there's no spaces!
I'm going to go edit a world so that I can post any stories that I'm writing there...I might write one tonight, who knows. Though it might be written like a Light Novel...because they're easy to write and when I go back and read what I wrote I get pumped up because it's so fast! So I like reading light novels! XD
Okay! Bye-bye! ^ ^
