Here comes Ruina spamming your journals with more sketches. D<

Some recent sketches I've used as incentive until... just last week I believe:



Creating motion makes me want to /headdesk
Attempting foreshortening makes me want to /facepalm
However, I am happier with what I'm doing now compared to my previous attempts. I don't think I'll ever be happy with what I do (in a sense, I don't know if I ever want to be... but let's still try to get the basics right =_=; )
Drawing animals... eh, I'm not even gonna start on that. I do keep going back to drawing pics of characters with an animal(?) buddy though, I wonder why.

( Another one )


PF3 is in its final chapter right now. I've been keeping up with what's going on, but I failed to contribute anything last chapter due to Persona 4 distraction. OwO;;; I made this very quickly today though:



Someone is putting together a Persona parody poster to support the country of Gigandal, so artists were asked to make parody shots of their character(s) like that. xD Persona parody was just too awesome to pass up; plus it was very simple.


...I wanted to talk about something else, but I can't remember anymore. NRGH. D:

For those who actually check out my dA or MB accounts, you may have noticed I mentioned Pixiv Fantasia III (or PF3) there on my two latest submissions:



PF3 is an event going on over at pixiv right now where artists draw OCs/items/locations/etc in a fantasy world RP. There's a very well put together summary with a list of current events and such here by maiki. I noticed many English-speaking artists I follow were talking about it and making characters, so I kinda jumped on the bandwagon too and made the above two and a pixiv account (I didn't have one prior to joining this event /swt).

People who know me well may know that I'm not really into RPs in general, but this event has been very interesting, I've actually been trying to follow up with it and participate once in a while, my recent contribution being a mass purchase of ネ口耳(nekuchimimi) (which are pretty much cat ears that has the power to curse one of the country's leaders lol) to give out to the guild I joined. Just as an example of how this world really revolves around the artists' ideas, that item was based off another creation, the ネロ耳(neromimi), which sends support vibes to the aforementioned country leader. Someone even made a dog ears variation too for the dog fans, but with no special effects. xD

I've been more of a follower than a contributor so far (some people submit stuff DAILY. Man, I can't imagine... and awesome quality too x_x;; ), but I'm hoping to see through this event till the end. Chapter 2 just ended today (total of 4 chapters) and the event ends on May 10th Japan time.

On a final note, I'd really love to see some of the English-speaking art communities try to pull off something like this. O_O It does sound like a lot of work for the mods (with counting up all the points for each story and all), but seeing how successful it's been on pixiv, I'd really love to see someone give this a thought.
