Raikou Commission

I did this during the Anime Expo weekend, finally got some time to blog about this!

It's a Raikou, one of the legendary beasts from 2nd gen.  I wanted to try a different method on this piece, simply wanted to see if I can get softer look that blends better in the background (I was going for a cloud / smoke look).  So I used watercolor first, got some light colored layers on the back, and then after it's dried I added the colored pencil for refine and detail.

Thank you!

AX2013 was a success, thank you everyone for stopping by! it was so great to meet tons of online members in person :D  I hope you all had a wonderful time at the con! :)

Just in case you were wondering, this is a picture of the south hall (exhibit hall / artist alley).  We were close to the back...

 Oh! The gachapon machine was a huge hit, we actually ran out of buttons! 

If you've played it, THANK YOU!!

It's definitely my goal to make all the pokemon into buttons, so perhaps few months later I'll have a bunch Gen 5 and 6 pins available, gotta start drawing!

UPDATE:

The new notecards are up in the online shop now, go grab them while it's hot :D

One of the biggest conventions of the year is just around the corner, this 4th of July weekend is all about Anime Expo! It's going to be so crazy!

Take me to space

My friend J had this idea for children's book type of thing, we talked about it briefly last night and here's the doodle/sketch I did.

Did I ever mention that I'm bad at drawing robots? hahaha  

XY cards

I think I'm having too much fun designing the new cards!

I'll have these at Anime Expo next month, right now Pancham and Helioptile are available in my shop, and the rest will be ready as soon as possible :)

 

Here is me at the con last weekend, drawing and making faces :P 

Animega turned out fairly small, weekends were surprising slow but I still enjoyed Vegas.  We do hope to do it again next year, as long as we have the time.

 

Thanks for the photo Vy!
