Kpop relations...*eyebrow wiggle*

First off...I've been trying to say this for a while but for some reason theO stops working after 9:00 until 2:00...O.o;

I was watching some Amber (f(x)) videos and I realized (I've realized it before, but not this much) she's almost EXACTLY like my best friend! The way she acts, the way she looks, her voice. It's...incredible...It's the LA version of my best friend! O.O

I would post a video of my friend to show you a comparison...but that would be weird...XD She has a youtube account, though...XD That is what I used to compare voices (since I haven't talked to her since school).

Another thing is that Niigaki Risa and Takahashi Ai from Morning Musume are both fans of Kpop groups. I knew Niigaki liked Kpop music, but I never knew Takahashi Ai did...O.O

Niigaki likes TVXQ, Se7en, and BoA
Takahashi loves Big Bang and is a big G-Dragon fan

I-I'm surprised Ai-chan! I didn't know you liked rappers! ;w;

Whenever I type rappers I keep writing wrappers...>3> Why are the words so similar!? TT^TT

Tailors and writers and other jazzness

I replaced the word business with jazzness. Jazz and Jazzness are my replacement words for words I can't think of at the time...XD

Huzzahblah! I'm changing that dream manga idea 'cause...dreams are overrated! I say this now because I was all about dreams a few weeks ago, then as I started everything I went to be AND I DIDN'T DREAM AT ALL for liiike a week.

Dreams are another one of those things that I find interesting, but at the same time I wouldn't really like to think about them/I don't care. Like the meaning of life. I don't really care. It's kinda interesting to think about it, but in the end I don't really care.

So I'm going with things I DO care PASSIONATELY about! Like writing or drawing or something. Mostly writing because...I dunno...there's just something magical about writing and words...

I've noticed there are a lot of...I'm gonna say 'magical boy' manga. Not really transformations, but it has the main character having to do with some topic like the economy or puzzles or merchandise or something like that (cell phones, penguins, etc.). So I thought why not just go the fun way and think of that as a base.

The base would be some guy has some kind of strange association with random thing that is used for fighting. Yup. That's what most anime is like nowadays. Not that I disagree with it, I like that kind of stuff...to a point...

I don't like 'C'...it made me realize that most of the popular anime nowadays has a pattern like it does. Because IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ECONOMY...it's like Yu-gi-Oh! almost except that they're using their money as cards...>3> It's silly.

I also don't like Heart no Kuni no Alice...'cause it's also very silly and if the story pattern is OBVIOUS then it's not going to be good (in my opinion). Though both anime shows have good designs, I'll admit that. I just like horns! XD That's the whole reason I watched 'C'! XD

So yeahhh...

I'm thinking of either doing an manga story based on writing, drawing, or tailoring...hrmmm...I want to make a tailor character that's why I'm even bringing that up! XD But I'll probably go with writing because most of my 'organization' characters have 'powers' that have to do with words (accidentally...I was trying to make it interesting and original and I could only thing of language and words).

But then....that would be hard to translate into different languages...wouldn't it? What if I do one on languages in general? Like they speak certain languages...orrr...uhh....

Yeahh....I'm stopping here.

My real reason for this post is to fangirl over UN-GO:

Look at those designs! ;W; I usually choose to watch an anime based on their designs...XD So I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to watch this anime...but it's not out yet...'orz

I like Yun Kouga's designs, also. Her style looks different and I like it! XD The colouring looks like the colouring of Shigenori Soejima who did the art for Persona 4 and some other popular titles like Catherine.

I have a new list of anime to watch so I'll be trying to force myself to watch it and do that reward scheduling thing I gave myself. Do a certain amount of work and then I can watch or read an anime or manga.

I'm also making a good list of my favourite artists that I've seen so far! I keep doing this...'orz But all my other lists have been HUGE I want this one to be smaller (though, I've found TONS of other wonderful artists since my last posts....'orz).

Sorry for posting so much...again...'orz

Check and half! :D

The guys for my Harvest Moon genderbending project are done...with the sketches...actually, not really...

I'll show you the crappiness of them...XD Ohohoho! XD I'm redoing the lot of 'em.

From left to right (top to bottom) it's:

Maya, Witch, Selena, Renee, Anissa (top)
Kotomi (Candace), Roomi (Luna), Kathy, Harvest Goddess, Phoebe (bottom)

I'm only happy with Kotomi, Roomi, Witch, and Kathy. I'm OKAY with Selena and Renee a TINY bit...they just need a little fixing.

Maya, Anissa, Harvest Goddess, and Phoebe need some MAJOR redoing.

And as you can see, I've forgotten how to draw characters...not...buff...O.o; So Maya looks very gay....'orz

Anissa was the first one I did, and you can see how terrible it is! XD WOAH! I just noticed I flipped it....for some reason...OH! I was drawing Kotomi/Candace's face...ohhh...wow...so it really WAS Roomi and Kotomi. I'm so surprised I never changed it back! O.O

Sorry, talking to myself. As if I never talk to myself...pfft...>3>

I was looking at the abs of Taeyang, Jang Woo Hyuk, Rain, Gackt, and some other random people to learn anatomy of the male torso. I have yet to learn about their leg structure...

I was secretly looking at this one soccer player's legs in my class...but that's the only stuff I've looked at to learn more about leg structure...>3> And I wasn't looking at this thighs! XD

The thighs are the problem. I dunno how to draw them...and I don't really want to look at them...O.o;

I'm going to do the boys/girls next....ummm...What do I call them!? TT^TT I'm going to do the 'bachelors' next...let's say that. I don't want to draw girls, to...>3> It's just not as fun, until I get to the legs! >:D

Male Phoebe reminds me of CNU from B1A4...XD Why does he wear fake glasses? I wish they'd give him some bangs and a new haircut. I saw him in a video and he had curly hair and he looked much better than he does now.

I just don't like long hair...>3> Only Heechul can have long hair!

......

...Araki Hirohiko...has LOVELY art! Gosh, I have a new person to put on that list in the last post! XD

I love his art...recent art, I mean...or the cover art. His art in the '80's was HIDEOUS...TT^TT I read the first few chapters of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and...wow...it wasn't good at all, in my opinion. It didn't flow. But it was at the very beginning of his career and I'm SURE it got better. But I still love Dio Brando.

Araki Hirohiko also looks very much like Hangeng (in my honest opinion)

It's something...I dunno what it is....hrmm..

Araki Hirohiko is the Japanese mangaka version of Hangeng! XD

Oh! This song...I can't stop listening to it...It's sooo good ;w;

I wish I could've found the full version. By the way, the video is really crappy...I like their outfits, but the video just seems really awkward...O.o;

I LOVE Munehiro. Yu-A has some good songs, too, but I don't like how nasally her voice is. I don't like overly nasally voices, I like somewhat rough kinds of voice...I dunno how to explain it...>3>

One more Munehiro song before I go (for some Munehiro love):

Heh...Last.fm says I've listened to Munehiro 51 times and YU-A feat. Munehiro 13 times...in one day...XD

Munehiro's songs just don't get old! ;w;

Favourite Accomplished Artists

I dunno what else to call them.

And sorry for so many posts...'orz (You can tell I'm being very lazy) and these will be the last few days of my break...okay, I have liike a week left, but a week is nothing! TT^TT

I nicely put the names~! :D Actually, that was more for me. Most of these 'favourite artists' thing I make for myself (of course). The sizes don't matter too much.

And the 'Noburo Ishiguro???' one is probably not correct...I don't know who would get the credit for doing the art in the anime. It's different from in the manga, so I wouldn't say the mangaka, so I just said the director.

Louise Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun...look at that name! THAT'S RIDICULOUSLY LONG! I remember when I had to fill out my favourite artists for some art application thingy and I couldn't remember her name 'cause it's freaking looong. So I asked my mom and she couldn't think of it. I told her it was a french name, but she kept guessing American names...O.o; I just told her she was a french artist in the rococo era and that she did a lot of portraits and she kept guessing OTHER french female artists. So I just put stuff like Hyung-tae Kim down 'cause I couldn't remember the names of the artists I like...XD

And also Lawrence Alma-Tadema. That's a weird last name...O.o; How come all these really famous artists have such long names!? The longest name besides Louise Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun on my list is probably Yoshiyuki Sadamoto or something, and that's not long at all.

What do they all have in common? I really wonder...O.o;

Oh! There are a lot of artists that I like starting with Takeshi and every time I type in their names Takeshi Kaneshiro comes up:

Look at his loveliness! No, go look him on google, you get more of a feel of what he looks like from looking at more than one picture. That's how it is with movie stars! XD

He played Zhuge Liang in Red Cliff (CHI BI~! :D). I like chinese words or names...XD I named my baby boar in Harvest Moon Xiǎo zhū after Luō Zhì Xiáng...but it looks really weird 'cause of the characters I used for the a and u...XD

Okay, sorry for spamming. PLEASE FORGIVE ME! TT^TT

Tutorial?

...I think I've talked about this several times before! XD

Should I make a tutorial?

It would be about whatever...

Do you want it where you guys request all the tutorials or where I just decide to do certain ones?

I can just give little tips I've learned from other artists that I know to actually work when you read about them. There are some of those that tell you to draw the skeleton in a certain way and it just takes forever to get everything right, then when you finally draw it they look stiff. Though I did find a pretty good anatomy one, but I dunno if I agree with using boxes...but that's just their method.

I personally don't have a specific way of drawing my skeleton. If I think I'm having a problem drawing a certain part of the body I'll be more in-depth in my sketch, other than that I pretty much draw blobs.

I'll also post links to tutorials that I found really helpful.

I've been wanting to do one for a while, and I remember starting on one, but I got bored with it because I was doing all the stuff that everyone else does.

I'm making a mascot for it, too, 'cause I think that'd be more fun. I can genderbend them, too!

I don't seem to be working on anything...I think once I go back to school I'll get back into the routine-ish kind of mode. Right now I go to sleep whenever I wake up whenever and then to whatever for some amount of time. It's not at all organized or precise as I'd like it to be.

I've been gently touching things I've been needing to work on. I'm also trying to decide what mediums are best for my projects and stuffs.

I want to try different mediums for different pieces or promo art. I'm also working on trying to find that style that's in my head. I can faintly picture what it would be...but it's hard to focus on...if you know what I mean. I know I have an idea of how I want my style to look, I just need to work towards it.

Oh! Do you guys look at other people's favourites?

I do very often. In fact, I've just started randomly going through favourites of pixiv users I like. This one person...I'm practically in love with...XD They seem to like FE AND Sengoku Basara and like most of the same kinds of styles of art as I do, but there's no techno-ish art and by techno-ish art I mean something weird, bright, and colourful. I like finding users like that~!

I do the same on youtube if the user I'm looking at likes the same kinds of stuff as I do or if they're one of my friends. I just like to see what they've been up to.

Let's end this with a pretty song by an artist who needs more love:

I like soft voices~! <333
