on livesteam and drawings

Been staring to do some livestaems again. My friends talked me into it. I don't mind it, though it does annoy me I can't go surfing around on the internet in the middle of it all, but then again that's a good thing. I get the drawing done much faster. Did a sketchy type of drawing

Na'ima, Iriangi, Tama and Phoenix.
 My Kitsune characters. Iriangi is a ninetails, Tama is a sixtail, Nai'ma seven and Phoenix eight. They are part of a world my friend Ai made, so they can't grow more tails than what they are born with. Though they can hide their tails and/or transform into humans.
Those swirly thingies around them are magical orbs. The grey ones are Iriangi's and the Orange belong to Tama. Na'ima just learned how to make them and Phoenix is too young, so theirs aren't floating mysteriously around. x3


If I'm not online there are still some recordings on my Livestaem channel.

Xei requested a drawing of Black Rock shooter. I was thinking of doing some dynamic pose all cleaned up and shiny, but I liked the sketch with my new-found pencil tool in Sai, all thanks to Kerri. I tend to like my sketches better than my finished stuff, especially if I spend a lot of time on the sketch.

One old, one new

Undine, Ciara and Nulpi

Something I started working on ages ago. Some people might remember one of my sketchdump posts. Got tired of working on it for so long, so the sktching is rather lazy, also I didn't really know what to do with the lighting. At least I have started TRYING to get some atmosphere by playing around with a bunch of filters on top of each other to get something other than just flat light.

Karma and Karmarali

Felt like drawing mine and Ai's twin characters after watching the vocaloid video of the song Matryoshka. They look crazy enough to fit perfectly with the style.

Osaka Castle

Decided to try my hands on a bit more backgrounds, but somehow I got lazy again - no surprise, and I decided to just go with it and draw it. After all, it's practice.


My characters Kaimu and Yo, playing around with soap bubbles next to Osaka Castle.
I learned from this that it's easier to do cityscapes in photoshop. Sai is missing the flat brush that makes nice, easy and quick square buildings. Think I will try do that next time, do my buildings in photoshop, at least until I get more used to sai and find away around it since I didn't find a flat brush like that in the menu. -3-
