Howdy y’all,

This upload was a request from a friend of mine. When I asked her “What would you like me to draw?”, she simply answered “A horse”.
What?
How could I possibly draw a manga horse when manga is a comic style of drawing, mainly of people? And so hence the greatest challenge since getting man into the sky.
Following this was a tale so great and epic that I can’t translate it into words, but it involved a lot of research (watching anime), a lot of drawing and rubbing out (my eraser disappeared into nothingness), and a lot of time (two hours).
And here is the final result!

Howdy y’all,

I recently received some manga pitt pens, textas that allow strokeless block colouring (though I’m not convinced), and decided to practise on some chibis (as they are small and require a very small range of colours). Here they are! Expect some female chibis in the near future }:P

Howdy y’all,

It’s been a while since I last updated, hasn’t it? I’m not trying to make excuses but for those who are (slightly) interested, the reason is that my most recent project is to do the Chinese Zodiac as a form of Gijinka where they look as close to the animal without the help of headbands, tails, ears etc.. That and that I kept forgetting to upload what I had already done in August (August already!? Time sure flies by).

Now a little about Josh. Joshua Kiryu is (without spoilers) a fifteen-year-old smart alec, who’s insufferably snotty attitude only serves to widen the gulf between him and Neku but his knowledge, especially about the Game, does earn him some points. He is also Neku’s second partner.
Though Joshua is deep down lonely as his childhood was without many friends. You have to feel sorry for the guy. Besides, how can you not like the prissy kid?

I attempted at drawing him due to the massive success involving Sho Minamimoto. This one didn’t rise as high… But! Nevertheless, I had fun while doing so and that’s the important bit! Have a great day!

Howdy y’all,

You’ve all seen and heard about the protagonist Neku, but what about the main antagonist? Meet the maths-crazy villain Sho Minamimoto!

But first, a little background (who doesn’t love a little background?).
At 18 (18!? He looks about twenty!), Sho is the youngest Game Master of the Reapers in Shibuya.  Sho excels in all areas but one – cooperation. More of a mathematician than a battler, he can’t help but put in a mathematical term in every conversation he comes across to the point of obsession and perhaps mental instability.
But how can you not love him? Many a fan of TWEWY say that Sho Minamimoto was their favourite character and can’t help but quote him. The most famous quote being “So zetta slow” which is repeated several times in the game.

And here is a trivia fact (who doesn’t love a bit of trivia?):
Sho was dubbed “Pi-Face” by Neku and Beat and is called that on several occasions. Fittingly enough, Sho’s HP in his regular form is 3141 (the first four digits of Pi), and his Week Three form has 5926 HP (the next four digits of Pi). Sho is also called the “Grim Heaper” by Neku due to the garbage piles he builds during Week Two and the fact that he is a reaper.

Well, how about that? If you go here you can find plenty more on everyone’s favourite mathematician. Man, Sho makes maths fun.

Howdy y’all,

Ever heard of the game ‘The World Ends with You’ (or TWEWY for short)? Yes? No? Maybe so? Even if you have/haven’t, I shall explain this fantastic game to you (I might even do a review – I say that a lot, don’t I?)

*Clears throat excessively*
The World Ends with You, known in Japan as It’s a Wonderful World (すばらしきこのせかい, Subarashiki Kono Sekai) is an action role-playing game set in the shopping district of Shibuya, Tokyo.
As you start the game, after a little intro on the main character Neku Sakuraba, you are plunked straight into the game (no annoying intros here). You soon meet Shiki (the kinda love interest) and discover a bit about where you are and why you are there.
The World Ends with You integrates Japanese youth culture such as fashion, food and mobile phones in a creative way. Some examples are ‘missions’ you have to complete, and battle advantages.

There’s even a manga adaption! Wowza…

I won’t go into much detail (as I am planning to do a review – yes, I will get a round tuit)

Ha ha. I can never get enough of this joke. My dad has one in the garage and everytime I go in there, I always read it. So funny 😀

Anyway, now that you have the background info here is my drawing of Neku!

Howdy y’all,

I’m not so sure over how this turned out. As I didn’t have the colours I had to make do with what I had so in that aspect I don’t like it. The lineart is okay I guess…

During the holidays I rented an amazing anime movie called Wolf Children that, to keep a long story short, is about a mum who falls in love with a wolf man and then has two children who have to decide if they want to be human or wolf and live in the suited world. It’s a cute film that left me pondering with emotion, and I’ll probably end up doing a review on it later (if I ever end up getting around to doing reviews, or comics for that matter).
I loved it so much, I drew one of the main characters: Ame. In this picture I drew him as a four year old and a ten/twelve year old (they didn’t specify how old he was later in the film). So in the picture, you’ll see the same person, but in different ages as he grows up in the movie.

And without further ado, here is cute, adorable, ‘mamma’s boy’ Ame!
