Regret by Mai Hoshimura

One of the ending songs to the anime D.Gray-Man.  An absolutely fabulous manga and anime.
I'm listening to part of the OST while working on my new project:  Fanart of Lavi from said story.


D.Gray-Man has always been one of those comics that really inspired me.  I am never disappointed by how the storyline progresses because the writer really knows how to get you attached to the characters.  You feel for them and hope for happy endings; even though the story is relatively depressing.

Gift Art 2/3

I'm really really happy with this piece.
Like.
You have no idea.


Gonna have my bluelines for OcculTango printed out and ready to ink by the end of tomorrow/today (Thursday).

Art Cram

I was super productive today, guys!
I got two illustrations finished.  Just in time to work on mooorreee~

A gift for Tris on the irowiki forums:



And a Bryna cover illustration.  I will, hopefully, have at least 3 volumes worth of chapters of OcculTango by the time I finish it so that I can have each of the main characters on a volume cover.  Bryna will be volume 2 and Duscan volume 3.

I'm also almost done with the pencils for chapter 2!  Then I can scan, tidy up, print bluelines, and start inking!  You're going to see a lot more of Bryna in chapter 2 and Duscan will be making silly faces.

Bryna WIP

Since I'm a little ahead on pencils, I decided to take a break and work on some digital stuff.  I need to start working on posters, illustrations, and other collectibles to sell at conventions and such anyways.
I decided to continue the cover illustration of Kael into a series with each other main characters.  The one I'm working on now is Bryna's.  I'm not quite sure what I want to surround Duscan at the moment and so that one may be a while before getting done.
Anyways, a work-in-progress screenshot:


I've also got some ideas for bookmarks, but I have to plan that out a bit more before more information is available.

Fan-Art and WIP

Some fan-art for a friend.  He was requesting we draw some fan-art so that he can publish it with his comic once it's done.  I wanted to color it, but my friend only has inks and stuff :c


I also have an in-progress illustration I've been working on for a while.  Here's a screenshot:



I'll be adding a nice, forest-y background to it as well.

Animatic, Ankle Boots, and OcculTango Ch 2!

As promised, here's the animatic I created for my storyboard final:


And here's a sketch of what I would look like in the Panty&Stocking universe.  My name would be Ankle Boots, I think.




I want to make a short mini-comic in this style some time.  Just have to figure out what it would be about!

I've also started penciling the second chapter of OcculTango!  Once I get this chapter complete, I'll finally be able to go live with the graphic novel on the web!  I'm really excited about this story and hope you all enjoy it!
