Time taken : Less than 2 hours
Comments :Another pencil drawing. This time it's for my mother who wanted something colorful. So as spring is FINALLY coming, I drew her something about it. Now, I realize that the girl's head is weird. Her hand too ( I realized that before ).
Tools : Pencils, ballpoint pen, edited on Photoshop 7

| Joyeux Noël | Another collaboration with Tomoyuki |
|
Time taken: 3 hours
Comment :Well Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all even though Christmas is gonna be boring for me ( what's the point in eating so much ? ) and that I'm a bit nostalgic when I see kids with their eyes sparkling at that time whereas I'm biased -_-. That's life...
Twinkle made the lineart and I made the rest. Excuse me for the lack of originality of the background but I wanted to finish it on Christmas.

| A letter for you |
|
Time taken: 5 hours
Comment : It started with a try of Painter 10 trial. Painter isn't easy to use. I got fed up and continued on OpenCanvas.
I had fun drawing the fairies, and tried to make detailed hair ( this doesn't look like anime hair but well ) and a silk dress.
The hands still bother me, but I suck at drawing hands.
I wanted to create a fantasy atmosphere. I changed my style a bit, with a more realistic shading and hair.

| Wanabee Self-Portrait |
|
Time taken : One hour and a half
Comment :I'm training on realism.. so I took a black and white crappy webcam shot of myself and tried to paint my face on OpenCanvas.
This looks odd. * Gotta harass somebody else for a portrait *
Next victim : probably my sister. I'd like to draw Edward Norton but I don't have the skills. Realism is fascinating. I like to try to capture someone's expression and features, even if it's hard. I'm not there yet :p but that was interesting.

| Bonne nuit | Sweet dreams |
|
Time taken : 5/6 hours
Comment : Check out the detailed background. I had fun drawing it. Tried out a new painting style, too. here's a lot of moons in my pictures, I like drawing it, it's so fascinating. I had fun drawing the plushies in the background and tried to make a detailed and realistic little girl room. The window looks like mine...
The mother's dead, so maybe she's a ghost, maybe the girl's dreaming. Choose which version you prefer...

| Modern Cats | Another collaboration with Twinkle |

Time taken : as for me, 3 hours
Comment :This is another collaboration with *tomoyuki-1 after Ohayou ...
This deals with cats too, cats are so sweet, mysterious and fascinating little beings...
Twinkle made the whole background and the girl on the left, I just made the girl on the right and the grey cat on the left... See my part with more details below. Cats rule.

| Hijo de La Luna |
|
Time taken : about 4 hours
Comment : Inspired by the eponym song. It deals with a gypsy woman who beg the moon to give her a husband. The moon agrees, but wants the first child she'll have from him. This is my first time drawing somebody who looks up, so I hope it turned out ok. There's a version of this pic with clouds but they were bothering me, I wanted the sky to be pure.
Tools : OpenCanvas 3+ and Photoshop 7

| The Golden Haired Boy | Sweet selfishness |
|
Time taken :about 3 hours
Comment: Suicide is a serious issue. I think people who commit suicide are most of the times on crisis and don't think about their loved-ones.
But aren't we all selfish ?
The letter actually falls from the girl's hand >_> I didn't draw it correctly...
The boy is her brother.

| .:Oyahou:. お早う！ | Collaboration |
|
Time taken: As for me, about 2 hours
Comment: This is a collaboration between Twinkle and me. He's such a talented artist ! I just colored the girl and drew the cats, the credit is his ! Visit him !
Ohayou means Good morning in japanese, because this girl is saying good morning to her kitty friends ^_^ Cats rock ! Meow ...

| Shine |
|
Time taken: about 6 hours
Comment: The guy wants to show to the girl that despite of the fact that she's a mere domestic, she shines... Mwahahaha, this is a bit soppy, especially from a cynical and bitter teenager who already doesn't believe in love, but others' love stories are so naive and cute that I like to draw so. Training on furniture, and background and coloring.

| Wayward Angel | Request |
|
Time taken : about 1½ hour
Comments : A fashionable angel requested by my friend Margot. I don't have much inspiration these days, my drawing skills don't improve, but I drew it, out of boredom. Her face looks weird, the pose looks weird, I still need to practice a LOT. But my friend liked it, so nevermind. The title is inspired by a Kasey Chambers' song, Wayward angel. This song is sweet.
Tools : Pencils and ballpoint pen, plus Photoshop for the lighting. |

| Fall |
|
Time taken : about 3h
Comments :The background is scrappy, that was done on purpose. I wanted it to look blurry. Her shoulders are uneven, I know , my summetry sucks ! Well, this is a picture about fall which is coming. This season represents sadness and bitterness for a lot of people. Well, nothing else to say, i'm on an artist block or artist laziness ... That's why this picture is so unoriginal.

| June and Tetsuo - Ikiru |
|
Time taken : Almost 4 hours.
Comment : This is the main characters from my online manga. The girl is the main character, the dumb but nice June ( Jun means innocent in japanese ) and Tetsuo.
He appears later, in chapter 2 actually.
I've got lot of ideas about their relationship.
Time will tell.

| Un ange passe | An angel passing by ... |
|
Time taken : 3 hours
Comments : Was listening to a Lene Marlin's song when I sketch this quickly. Then I decided to CG it. I drew the face at least 3 times ! The title is a french expression.
Never drawn a back nor wings before, so I wanted to try out...

| Break up a dusk |
|
Time taken : 7 hours ^o^

I don't really know what happened between my two characters :p I let you imagine ...
