I think I'll try a style change back to taller people. Moe is moe and all, but I want my females to match my males more.

I might not do this, but this is just a forewarning. Please don't be freaked out if I never return to whatever style I'm using now.

It has finally been done!!

Heil Metal Gear Solid! 8) I don't support the idea of prisoners escaping, but this is lulzworthy.

Here, a real journal entry.

Yesterday, I found an art thief on deviantART who tried to pass off an image edit as an original drawing of her character. Her gallery was also full of traces of art I know. She was even receiving tons of exposure from a gallery director, which is...urgh. It just makes me not want to try anymore.
Today, I find another one on DA, but I think that person just didn't know the rules, so I let that one slide.
Today, I find another one on Manga Revolution. She's posting the artwork of an artist I really like, and I seriously doubt that they're the same person. She's not answering any comments that ask about her identity, yet has the time to comment on a bunch of other things.

I don't mind image edits or traces, if the context is right. I've seen tons of parodies of anime openings on YouTube, where 75% is traced, but I think those are awesome. I don't even mind vector art, which is all the hype and controversy on DA now. I guess I probably don't mind vector art as much because the original work is preserved, and the vector is usually of anime screenshots that most people know.

I cannot stand pixel dolls, though. I'm seeing anime pixel doll bases of all these pictures I recognize, and many of the base makers do not provide credit to where they got the base from, yet type their HOW TO USE MY WORK in caps.

Even among some of my DA friends, I'm seeing image edits and traces being passed off as "original" work. And a majority of them say "don't steal my work," which is so ironic. Most trace poses, and when someone comments on how good the pose is, instead of saying they didn't make the pose, they say something like "thanks i worked soo hard on it," which is like... wut. How hard is it to do a low quality trace of something?

Now I am reminded yet again of why I should not draw, let alone manga. Even when heavily watermarked, it's just so...unsafe.

Yeah, stuff like fractal art isn't safe either; people are always on the hunt for stuff like that to stick in their backgrounds.

Trying to draw in the style I used during 2006. I think I used to draw bodies differently though.

Random guy. Shuya maybe.

First Opencanvas networking session by me, Kait, and Shia. : D
The screenshot belongs to Kait.

From Guilty Gear.

For my friend's birthday. The sketch itself is relatively simple, but I spent forever trying to learn the CLAMP style, and then drawing something original from it.

Starting off February with more D.Gray-man fanart. XDD
I felt like drawing a girl today instead. XD Linalee is cool! >:O

I forgot what her clothes looked like (again), so I'll look it up when I feel like finishing it.

Only Kanda, now. XD

I love Timcanpi!



Oops, I made this one look too much like Rabi. =_= Sooo... tall. I MIGHT combine this one with the Rabi sketch I drew before. I forgot where his coat is split under the belt area. Need a reference...
