Watercolors! Warning: This is a massive image dump

I finally got around to scanning things last night!
This is my decade piece for Drawing the Fashion Figure. I predictably picked the '50s.

This was for my Sci-fi illustration class last semester.
And just about the rest is from my watercolor class last summer. I'm going to be showing some of these and selling prints at AB and possible future Etsy store.

This is actually a book illustration of Howl's Moving Castle. Super different from the movie, isn't it?

Getting Back to Business

Ah, finally getting to work on AB stuff again. I still have the other pieces from previous entries to finish, but taking a pause from those, I wanted to do some smaller watercolor pieces relating to lolita using this idea generator. Ironically, for a traditional piece, I'm doing the sketches digitally.

Teacup Canary Stockings. I'm obviously going more with "canary yellow" than the birds. Mostly 'cause I felt like the canary in this was a little too random. If I did a composition where she was regular sized, it would be easier, but I didn't want to get too flighty looking here. Pun not intended.


Plaid Bear Blouse. The blouse is what's going to be plaid here.Rococo frill straw hat. Not as loli as the others 'cause I wanted it to be genuinely Rococo, but I'm trying to keep that light-yet-cartoony feel.


Pastry Sleeping Beauty fan. I didn't draw in the fan part yet and I seriously need to work on the legs, but it's thus far my favorite, at least conceptually.

Class Progress: Midterms of Spring '10 Pt. "Oh God, is it over yet?"

Almost there. ; ~; I get a lovely not-much-of-a-spring-break. I say all that hyphenation because now that I'm in the clear for my class projects, I'm still going to be doing all the rest of the work I need to before Anime Boston. F.M.L.

Class Progress: Midterms of Spring '10 Pt 3

Dear gods, help me get through the day without walking into on coming traffic. Seriously, I only slept about three hours last night while finishing up things. At least I have over an hour to get ready for class.
I also got an email from Joe about the post card. Gonna have to tighten it up and give it a "POW" factor. Not a huge problem, just...that's going to have to wait for tomorrow.

Class Progress: Midterms of Spring '10 Pt 2

I'm going to die. ;_;


Well, here's what I have thus far on the zodiac project:


And here is my magazine, which, really, I can finish in all of two hours:



I may take a pause to do some therapeutic shopping. Yes, I'm one of those people, though I also need to get my hands on a pair of harem pants for Dances of Vice, which is also tomorrow.

Class Progress: Midterms of Spring '10

I finished my postcard assignment for Drawing the Fashion Figure at the cost of sleep, hydration and feeling well enough to even go to Drawing the Fashion Figure. Thank you NoDoz. One coffee's worth of caffeine my ass. I can drink three cups of espresso and not feel like death. I think I'll just buy Rockstar coffee next time. It hated my stomach less.


After this, we have to do a piece on the fashion of a decade in history, which is due next week. I'm doing it traditional media, which is a thousand times faster. I just need a model to use, or reference. Or I can mostly make it up, but knowing my teacher, I should use a reference.

My Fashion Interpretation professor actually gave an extension to me and another girl, but at the same time decided that we should all do another project by this Friday as well. A similarly large project that was originally not supposed to be due until mid April. Apparently, he wants us to drop dead from exhaustion before we can go and enjoy our Spring break.

Here's the progress on the Virgo poster, though. I'll have it done by tomorrow, though it doesn't look like that much progress right now. Trust me, it's going faster. I just got distracted by the reminder of the other projects I need to finish.

The Pleasure and the Privilage is All Mine

I did a quick fanart of Hetalia's England as a punk composing music. I meant it for an illustration for a roleplay, but it stands well on it's own, I think.

I actually am liking this kind of collage coloring method. It makes me think of old book illustrations.
