“New” Tumblr blog design

I reverted back to my old one from 2011 (it’s still my favourite because of the ease to use and navigate). I hope you don’t mind and please let me know if something is broken in any browser/resolution. I might also make a new background to fit better with the design.

I also want to welcome all new followers! nice to meet you all! (I will try to check out all your blogs!)

I drew Queans awesome character “Messy Head”I just LOVE her art and character design.I started inking this with the wrong pen (non waterproof) so this image had a few problems along the way XD;;it’s been a lot of fun to do more non digital art lately, especially since I have a new watercolour friendly moleskine, good practice for me since I don’t have much experience with watercolour. Too bad my scanner is horribad at scanning colour work, so I need to photograph my art….this one is actually taken with my mobile phone ^^;

Pin-Up CALENDAR PROJECT:  May - Princess Peach // Super Mario Bros

 

 It is my turn to post! For the month May I chose the “damsel in distress”  Princess Peach since spring colours go well with her character and her colours. I really like Peach in the Smash Bros Series, wish I could see some of that “badass” attitude in future games? 

——-
Each month me and Diana are going to post previews+wips of the calendar and write information about each piece. I hope you guys will enjoy these posts! C:

Ppppst…

Why not order the full calendar here http://theagz.bigcartel.com/

or perhaps spread the word? We both would be very, very thankful!

Pin-Up Calendar [April] - Vampire Princess Miyu

A Heroine Pin-Up calendar collaboration I made together with KICHISU
—- You can ORDER THE  A3 CALENDAR HERE.—-

Anyone remember this OVA? It meant so much to me at the time, and is still one of my favourites.
(I never saw the TV series though, because I thought the design work was not to my taste and it seemed it had lost most of it’s “dark mood”).


As soon as we decided that April was going be a month that was “mine” I was set on making something with cherry blossoms. I think this one is the picture that ended up closest to my original idea/thumbnail sketch, and painting went really smoothly. A little blending was done in SAI, and the rest in Photoshop.

I hope you will like it!

WOW! I know I keep saying it everywhere but I am truly humbled by all the kind words about my work with the comic/illustrations for “The Black Box”. Made it real easy to fill up on energy for the continuation which I am working on right now. ALSO Hi ALL new followers!!

Unrelated to that, there has been a craze on twitter and tumblr about this square face icon maker over at : http://www.icongenerators.net/square.html

it’s super fun. I did my original characters and myself (see my new icon)
(Probably only two of my followers here on tumblr have known me long enough to recognize/know them)

And thought I might mention for those that are interested in that sort of thing, that I posted yesterday’s life drawing sketches on my “mobile phone blog” : http://instantstrawberri.tumblr.com/

Meet Surasshu - he’s a “fully functional prototype.” What does that even mean?!

————————————————————————-
above is the second video for the ALBUM that’s released TOMORROW!!
I’m way too excited and nervous to be able to write a coherent tumblr post right now, so I’ll just leave you with the rough sketch of the video image.

“In this trailer we meet Aivi, an archaeologist with an adventurous heart. But what’s that shadow to the left…?”

The first trailer to the new album by the excellent Aivi & Surasshu!

So to quote from Surasshu’s post yesterday:
“Today marks the reveal of the album me and Aivi Tran have been working on for nearly a year!”

We really wanted to go all out on the art, using a Belgian comic aesthetic to tell a story related to the music. ”

”[…] we’ll be posting one more trailer before the release of the album on Ubiktune, this Friday.

Also, please tune in to Noisechan on Arecibo Radio next Saturday for the listening party! Me and Aivi will both be there and it should be super fun! “

The album is fantastic and I really hope you all will check it out.  I can’t wait to show you all the art I drew for it!
