Description ....Humm~ Thought it was all going to be 'sugar and spice', didja? o.o

I don't know~ Maybe you're relieved it's not like that. xD And like I mentioned before- this is also a quick colouring practice and study for me. This time- I wanted to have a go at 'horror'. The world is 'Japanonized' as an ode to superflat and ukiyo-e.. And also cuz I felt like drawing a sailor school uniform for once.


:: o7/2o sketches ::
for: *Pennae
who requested: her original characters; Pennae and Rubidus
to Pennae: Your style is so lovely and soft.. ;; <3 I don't think I could achieve that mainly because it's not 'of me' for the most part. >< However, I wanted to try my hand at something like it- but do in my own way. So I used the colour brown which I try to avoid sometimes yet fail miserably with.. And slowly began to turn your the world upside down. @,..,@ Hope I got the names of your characters correct!

Idd, it does look a bit like that volcano sketch from Kurosawa's Dreams movie..

Ribble In reply to paladinknight [2007-04-03 13:46:27 +0000 UTC]

I haven't seen it, but I'm sure you're right - the grainy effect is very volcano reminiscent.

It's a lot neater than how I'd usually sketch- I did that cuz I knew I would want to add a little colour.

iliketoast [2007-04-02 03:26:45 +0000 UTC]

this is so unreal. the more i look at it the more i notice- especially in regards to the different colours and strokes in the background. it has a dirty, unsafe kind of quality, and yet it's quite clean and refined. the characters make a really nice contrast to all of that. very unusual and fun to look at :3

Aw.... Glad you get all that from this piece. It wasn't intensional, but I'm real happy it can be seen like that~!
My thanks as usually, Tiff

hahaha! xD Akira is one of those movies which I only understand whilst actually watching it.
It's the same with Ghost in the Shell- which I must've read at least three times.
Guess sci fi doen't stick too clearly in this gal's head! But I know what you mean~

hehe~ They are just quick exercises and experiements (including the colouring). Don't really feel like doing any polished work atm.. My 'I disliked my course' rebellion side I guess. Maybe just one polished piece after this series is over. Really want to concentrate on drawing my manga now!! *^^* Whee~~ Given any thoughts to yours??

your style suit them so well, it's like looking at them from a different perspective, but they are still the same...well, i hope you get what i mean

V is too tall in this.. Maybe if there's a next time, I'd try to draw her shorter~ (and perhaps younger)

zsebgomb In reply to paladinknight [2007-04-03 19:38:13 +0000 UTC]

i didn't even notice that, but now that you mention it, maybe she's a bit tall but i don't think it really matters because you can see that it's V in the picture, because it's written on her face

Wow, the background is emmense~ God! I love the patterns and this odd...really suttle but change of colour you do in your art- it makes them so airy and sereen; although this is darker/eery I'd say..

My fave are the figures in particular...

Pennae [2007-03-31 23:05:32 +0000 UTC]

i like that it's dark, they have darker personality than the average, i'm the one who is fluffy i'm sure you had a hard work to find any of their names, they have quite a lot because we use them in a lot of stories with my friend, so i used to mention them as "she" and "he". it's a miracle that you find it (anyway mostly we call them "v" and "hostin" because these are the shortest and these are the first but their other names are prettier so it's very well this way, it's not cool when your character's name is only one letter )
i really love that she has long socks and he has a scarf because they really used to wear these things, and i don't know how did you find out their secret obsessions i also really like the colours, and their outfit, i think the school uniform fit her very nicely.
ohhh and thank you very much! i really love it

paladinknight In reply to Pennae [2007-03-31 23:21:52 +0000 UTC]

haha~ That would explain it! Yes... I had wondered if you had another two characters which looked exactly like them...... Because sometimes Hostin has a ponytail.. and sometimes not...! *_* 'v' and 'hostin' also sound a lot prettier~ :3 Not just easier names to remember.. x3 It's really warming to know more about their history~ And would be great to tell their stories to the world one day.. :3 The 'science fiction' really throws me off! <-- that's why i'm curious as to what they've been up to! xD Cuz they seem quite traditional in a timeless sense...

O.O ! socks? scarf? They are their obsessions? --Had absolutely no idea! xD But I'm glad it turned out that way~~
And you're very welcome! I really enjoyed drawing this one as well~ *^^*

Pennae In reply to paladinknight [2007-04-05 13:30:18 +0000 UTC]

yes, they are the same they both have two or three hairstyles. in every story their personality is a bit different, because they lived a different life. and we usually make their appearance to fit their current personality, or their position if we have a universe with rules about people's looks. but the main things are always the same, for example she is always very stubborn and he is always very aggressive.
our longest scifi story is very serious, there is war and a lot of political things, but we really like it because it's so complicated and we like science fictions
it would be great if we could show our stories to a lot of people, but our english is not so good and we don't know all of the rules of how write things in english. we write in a very different way in hungary.

yes, v always wears socks even when she sleeps a scarf would be too warm in summer, but hostin likes to wear them in any other season
