Zee Coloring List

I'm going to try something different when it comes to coloring. In her tutorial, Setsu-P says she scans a drawing then prints it out to ink and color, leaving the hard copy untouched. That way, if a mistake happens, another copy will be readily available. I think this is a problem with me. I've always colored on the originals and got pissed if something bad happened, leaving it unfinished or finishing it hurriedly and half-assedly. And that's a reason why most of my pics are half-colored. >.> So, I'm going to take a page out of Setsu's book and print out my old scans. Hopefully, they'll be colored. 8D

I've already started on that Chibi Tower Senshi Meshia after printing it on good paper which can handle colored pencil.

Others (and these are OLD):
Kri's Sailor Musca
Jateshi's character (Tanzanite?)
Maria's Funhouse and Mae
Ayashi's Sailor Pessinus and Sailor Pluto (I'll have to draw in Pessi's red jar thing and Pluto's eye first) This picture I have completely lost. Thank gods I still have this copy.
Circle's Sefina: *ahem* The original agreement was to paint this, but after messing around with it, it became screwed up (holes and crinkling). The problem was the paper, which couldn't handle acrylics. It had to be thrown out. Now that I can (somewhat) use oils, I'll look for good paper and see if it can hold onto oil(after I use Photoshop to erase those unnecessary lines).
Setsu's Isis and Cyrus (I need to draw her other characters soon. LOTS of those buggers are running around.).
Luna/Lotus' senshi: Even though she doesn't do senshi anymore, I still like these and had ideas about how I wanted to color them (with a limited palette, based on their outfit colors).

From here:
Sailor Metal
Daenan and Kehai for Shai (these were getting colored, but then I got mad at them. 8D I can use the scans as a fresh start.) I'll do this for that Zai'al and Daenan(shown on dA,) pic, and maybe the solo Zai'al drawing when Shai tells me how the outfit's bottom half looks.
Gunner! Kashoku after fixing her arm.
Maybe Lucifer.

Remember those leg pictures I was doing of my characters with other peeps' creations? They'll be worked on again. :3 I just hit a slump. Same goes for the 100 characters meme. Tried to continue yesterday, aaaaaaaaand nothing came. ;_;

I need to code more of my site too. Geez, no wonder I get so flustered and slow down. o.O

A Daily Dose of Vitamin OC (Long)

5/14- Just fixing a few things.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

Note: Instead of embedding so many vids, I'll just list songs and other junk through links (unless there are only a few things I want to share. I don't want to crash any browsers).

Whew, Blogger was down for awhile or I would have posted this yesterday. Lots of people had shitfits about the service being down too. o.O I just wrote everything in a document so that I could easily post then run when everything was back to normal. Some comments have temporarily disappeared due to the downtime; hopefully, they'll be back.

Anywaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Quick sketches. They'll be done over (I hope, knowing how wishy-washy I am) but it's proof that I'm not ignoring those suggestions. :P

Grimmy and Hollow-suggested by Ayashi: Nothing much here. I tried out several poses and I think the top left one will be best as a full-sized pic. Hollow in all of these looks submissive, eh? Well, I figured that since he deals in death, he'd be a little respectful of a personification of death. My Grimmy is becoming an OC. Oh dear.

Speaking of Death-these amuse me:

Drivetime Commerical (patting him on the head XD)

Hidden Camera

Violet for Luna- I wanted to draw that crazy hair of hers as shown here I also wanted an excuse to draw a classy character pigging out on chocolate, sinc eI'm bitch like that. Sorry, Luna. XD

Grace for Circle- I don't know how I came across this gal. I have three images of her and know nothing about her. (Care to enlighten me, Circle? :3 I'm curious about the dude too) I was intrigued by her expression; it seemed snobby, but I liked it. XD I like the hands here, but they're BIG.

Jadine's Sofya/my Sophia- Not meant to be shoujo-ai.

Jadine and I joke about our two Demiurge stories competing with one another, considering how we both use Gnostic and Buddhist concepts and have a character based on the Pistis-Sophia (and other characters have similar names). Hers is more loosely based on the Gnostic mythology, while I take a more literal approach (idea-wise anyway. I doubt Sophia was meant to look like how I drew her.) That stuff on the left is a branch.

>.>

Derrot and Momoko- I know nothing about this Hello! Project, but Derrot loves it. I checked it out today, and DAMN. This “group” has a lot of people in it. I'm not into Japanese music mostly, but maybe I can find something I like within this vast...thing, ^^;

Momoko Tsugunaga is her idol/goddess, so I found a hairstyle and outfit that I liked of Momoko's. I dunno what happened. XD Japanese fashion is so odd sometimes. I added that ribbon/cloth to make it look as if she were floating like a deity.

Momoko is cute (the real one). I tried making her look Japanese. BAHAHAHA. Failed there, but I like the peaches that fly like helicopters. (I THINK she's associated with peaches. Hope so.)

Didn't paint today. D: I'll try tonight. Here's another pic of the WIP. I mainly added the ears, more shadows and muscles, smoothed stuff out, and the blue sky background. I've started on the clouds (and they're kind of difficult). Does that nose vein look too weird? I think I should add more suggestions of the veins since horse veins tend to be visible from the eyes to nostrils.
