Dorne

since I started to read the serie, I have longed to draw some Game Of Thrones scenery, so here we are. my first GOT fanart was to be about Dorne, I was inspired by a chapter about its Prince and his palace...though I'm not sure it was supposed to look so eastern, but that's quite how I imagined it...and yes I got some help from a photo of an Arabic Palace...just a rough sketch, with some color tries.  

...guess it looks a bit Disney-like....

making of

                                     

in the very first concept of Valentine's post the Little Mermaid was supposed to be this Little Mermaid, but it would have been quite depressing ^^

I'm getting photoshop addicted...

...worse, I just realized I'm getting photoshop's hue-addicted...if I were good at, at least...

Valentine's

took a while to make this one, and I was quite in a hurry coloring the last couples ^^

this year i feel a little more Valentine's mood than I used to, and that's stupid !

indeed  I used to be the Valentine's haters club vice-pres, i guess so...and I can't tell what this change of attitude is due to ..just, I guess, I'd rather like to cheer than complaining again ^_^

and since everyone's saying this is a commercial celebration, well I thought about that, I guess I'm glad it is: that is more work for artist producing cards and jewels, and all that stuff, so if I become good enough to do that that will mean more work for me ^^

however, I had quite a good time making this, trying to represent different ways of love through characters from movies and literature I love ^^ 

so Happy Valentine's my watchers, whatever Valentine's means to you ^^

brush addicted

sometimes once I have started inking, I really get caught by it! so I start making stupid foolish things like trying japanese calligraphy! I made 2 pages full of this, but the most of my tryes were really awful, so I only put here the best ones. 

Youkai 2

I made it ^^ drawn and colored it again...still not perfect, but I like it better now!

the whole idea of this picture actually started from the kappa character, kappa is a little frog-like japanese monster, quite a peculiar one^^ 

I spent most of my week end trying to ink rocks. 

this can sound quite quite crazy, but  people who makes comics often manages to portray things conveying in their pictures the sense of things not just their shape, I envy them so much!

I was inspired by a beautiful comic which a friend of mine lent me:

I  recomend it to people who manage to read in French and probabily in English, I guess from the picture up here, they have it translated in German too^^

Yōkai

Youkai is the term oftenly used  to refer to a class of demons, ghosts and spirits which are typical of the Japanese folklore. It was quite a while from the last time I had visited the manga shop, and I think it was even more since I had bought and read an actual manga. 

Two weeks ago I went there to buy a present for a friend, and then I obviously  found myself buying mangas for me. I especially love stories setted in medieval Japan or referring to Japanese folklore, with youkai and spirits, I could say I was grown up by InuYasha's manga and anime in my teens, so I suddenly felt so much inspired to draw Japanese monsters! 

the picture's just about a story of mine, one of those I had thought  about every character and every character's story without really figuring the actual story, still it is useful to make pictures about ^^

watercolour isn't finished, still I have already managed to mess it up. 

I guess I'll finish and try to fix it,by the way, I guess the youkai part hasn't turned out that bad. probabily.
