Description

I DESCEND. I ASCEND.


-----

Kai starting the Inktober challenge with a super complicated full body which took them the whole day to draw and isn't even in the originally intended pose XD 

STILL! I'm happy cause it's Day 1 and starting it with my gorgeous Anta gives me hope XD

This year I'm gonna try to follow the official prompts! And, just as last year, 
I'm adding it a name and making a journal for every piece! 

Please be gentle, this is the 2nd time in my entire life I do this! :·D 

------

Up there, my beautiful son Anta, my OC, ask and credit before using!
Art by me!

Haaaa djrger 
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
I'm glad you liked it, this isn't the original pose I wanted, but I'm still happy!
I barely drew Anta dancing, I'm looking forward to do this more!!!

Thank you so much!!! I've been working on hair xD

You're welcome!! He really makes me think of a mep with "lone digger" All the good looking guys ^^
What were you planning to draw him in? I think he's good in anything! I can't wait to see more of him <3

The hair is so perfect here, you did a great job!! ^o^

Akai--Me In reply to Rolycul [2017-10-03 22:33:49 +0000 UTC]

!!!... I just learnt the expression "lone digger" in English X''DDD Thank you! XD
So yeh, maybe Anta is a little of a lone digger xDD

Oh I was planning to draw him dancing, basically, more poses of him doing
some acrobatics with the pole. But it takes more control of anatomy,
so I have to practice a lot. I will >:·)
X///D Not because he's my son, but... you're right, he does look good in anything X'DDD  

;v; Thank you!! jdfhk Glad I'm finally changing hair!

Rolycul In reply to Akai--Me [2017-10-04 01:17:00 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I didn't know it actually meant something, it's a name for a song but it fits Anta here. Haha looks like we both learned something new xD

Anatomy is definitely hard to get right. I need more practice too. Dancing is so hard to draw though and I think you did an amazing job here.
xD All your sons and daughters look good in anything

You're welcome! Hair is one of the best parts to do ^^

Akai--Me In reply to Rolycul [2017-10-04 11:32:31 +0000 UTC]

Yes, haha I watched the video as well X'DD The only difference
is that Anta isn't that hairy as the dancer there XDDD
Yes!

It is! There are far more movements than the first ones we usually think,
so it takes a lot of practice!
Yes, every "moving" pose, let's say, is definitely hard... >v< I'm glad he looks good here!
X///DDD Aww, thank you! ;v; They thank you too XD

True! And so fun! :·D

Rolycul In reply to Akai--Me [2017-10-05 14:12:34 +0000 UTC]

xDDD True! I can still see him dancing there

I try to use references but even then, it is very hard. If we keep practicing, we could draw animation with ease owo
Then we can watch Anta really dancing!
You're welcome! xD Thank you too!!

Yes, me too! In fact, I searched images in Google: "male pole dancing poses" X''DDD surprisingly, there
wasn't much mature content, which is great! :·D
Hhhhh!!! that would be so AWESOME!!! (*///A///*) An animation of Anta dancing ;//v//; #lifegoals xDDD

xD That dance tho

Google is always there for you when you need it ^^
I think seeing the real thing might help too.. haha
One day! It would be amazing if Anta was animated ^w^

X'''DDD Yeah... maybe Anta doesn't dance like that X'D 

Yes! It saves my life hehe
Oh... don't think I haven't considered it ¬v¬ One day I will go and see
a guy dancing... then my life will be complete xD
Q//v//Q it really would!

Rolycul In reply to Akai--Me [2017-10-07 18:59:26 +0000 UTC]

Haha I'd still love to see a guy dancing like that xD Or a guy dancing very awkwardly haha

I think I would be too shy to go to one of those places >///< But it would complete our lives <3

Oh me too, most likely! X///DDD But I have to! 
I can always enter with the perfect excuse of "I'm here for artistics purposes only" X'D
And so... yes. My life would be complete. 
So if I ever do, I'll take pictures, so yours is too XD

Haha you can wear a mask to cover the nosebleed xD
Yes, hang them on the wall so you can always see them.

You can have a gallery of all your dancing pictures ^^
I actually really want to print some of my work and hang them up.

(*//¬//*) That sounds so awesome that I even want to skip work

Yes! Me too! Just a few, though... haha

Rolycul In reply to Akai--Me [2017-10-09 23:32:43 +0000 UTC]

Hahah you can do it xD Or go during breaks? Maybe hire someone to dance for you >///<

It would be embarrassing to print them yourself sometimes ^^" But worth it!

Akai--Me In reply to Rolycul [2017-10-10 00:50:00 +0000 UTC]

XDD Oh I don't have breaks at work :·( And there isn't any club nearby XD
But! ...hiring someone would be great, I can even choose a dyed blondie, 
just like  Anta... X'''DD

Yes, true! I'd have to print them somewhere, and I'm shy.,.. if they ask me
who did that

Rolycul In reply to Akai--Me [2017-10-11 16:19:43 +0000 UTC]

What?! No breaks at work? You poor thing, that must suck.
I use to live close to 2 strip clubs... they were of women though (had a friend that worked in one....)
Male clubs are hard to find.
Yeah, hire one xD They might be a little expensive but you can bask in the luxury every now and then!

Maybe we can print them online, but I'm usually impatient and I can't wait a week to get my prints.. They also cost more to print.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Akai--Me In reply to Rolycul [2017-10-11 23:26:14 +0000 UTC]

Not many... I have small 5 minute breaks from one hour to the next,
but that's it. Still, it's fine... I don't like breaks XD 
Oh damn! haha Oooh maybe there was a guy... hidden... among all girls... :·P 
True! That's so unfair! I want a male club, too. Everyone deserves the right
of taking inspiration from stripping hot guys... XDD
Oh yes~ But to be honest I wouldn't even be able to call one X'D

Ah I didnt think of that option! Hmm... But maybe if you have several things
to print, you get a discount.

Rolycul In reply to Akai--Me [2017-10-17 00:37:10 +0000 UTC]

Those are short breaks, it almost feels like school. What do you do at work?
Haha really? I can't keep working without a break xD
That could be! I've never gone in so I wouldn't know but it's possible!
Right! They are only in the big cities. We can only see them online or something
which is too bad.
No? Maybe order one from online xD Guys do that with the "mail order bride"

Maybe, I haven't checked. I know deviantart lets you print but I don't know about other sites.

...school. X'D I mean, I work at a small cram school, hence the
school-like breaks xD
:"( Maybe one day, don't worry.. 
Oh yes! I have to move to a bigger city or just search in my town , 
in case there is one male strip club xD 
So right! X''D hmmm~  *reconsidering options* 

Ah!... you're right. Well, I don't know of any, but I bet
there are other sites :·)

Rolycul In reply to Akai--Me [2017-10-18 22:24:35 +0000 UTC]

Ohhh I see. That's pretty cool actually.
I kinda miss school a little. Just the fun things xD

I'm sure google map might show where some clubs are near you.
Ah, moving to a big city, it seems like fun but also a lot
of money for rent. Still, being walking distance from a shop
isn't so bad!

Yeah, there must be a cheap one online somewhere..

Yeh! ...a little exhausting at times x'D Takes a lot of patience, 
but it's cool! :·)
Yeah, me too! I mean... ...I sometimes want to go back to the days when I was 
only a student xD

(¬`v´¬) Thanks for giving me ideas~ XD
Yes! When moving to a big city, you have to make sure that you find a good job
that ensures you will make a living. Otherwise... >__<

Yeh!

I've never gone to cram school so I'm not too sure how it all goes. Do you teach a certain subject?
The end of the school years are always the best days ^^ My friends and I would play Uno all the time xD

You're welcome!
It's a dream to more to the big city but I think I would be fine with just visiting or vacationing in a nice hotel

Akai--Me In reply to Rolycul [2017-11-03 12:02:05 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm... Now I have my doubts if it's called like that in English...
Actually, forget it, it's not a cram school XD It's a school for children
who can't perform well at normal school so they need extra classes.
Yes, I teach one subject only: ...English. X'D But not only there, to adults as well and blabla XD
xDDD  Hm... I don't remember what I used to do those days, but it must have been
something fun, of course haha!

*-* Agreed! ...I'd like to live in a hotel in a big city. Forever XD

Rolycul In reply to Akai--Me [2017-12-08 04:36:42 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I think I get it. It does sound like a cram school a little.
That's pretty neat! So you give lessons outside of the school? Did you have to get a degree for it like a teacher? I hear some don't need a degree to teach English in other countries.

A nice hotel with free breakfast ^^ Forever would be nice but the rooms might be dirty xD

Akai--Me In reply to Rolycul [2017-12-09 22:48:55 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, then I might use that term... 
Yeah! Sometimes at companies, for example. I... more or less. Depending on the school, 
you need a degree or not. I'm working as a teacher cause basically I have no choice xD 
I did get a degree but in Translation/Interpretation :3 ...still not Arts TvT

Hhh! ... hmm... if it's dirty, I don't want it >.< XD

Rolycul In reply to Akai--Me [2018-04-15 02:48:03 +0000 UTC]

Yeah? Is there something else you would like to do? That's a pretty useful degree, you could go traveling!
I'm terrible with language so I'd hire someone to translate for me.

I would like... ....not to be a teacher I got to a point when
I almost hate my job, hahaha So stressful and not as rewarding as they 
say it is!
So yeah, being a translator or an interpreter is my new goal!
hahaha I'll give you some friend discount :·P jk, I wouldn't charge you hhaaa

Oh I really hope you can become one, then! Even if they don't hire many, you can always 
go freelance, can't you? 
Hahaha it's okay, believe me that I have patience: my students are VERY difficult to teach 
but there I am! haha I don't think you'll be that bad

I'm not sure, I would probably just post tutorial videos but I really like being in a class environment. I like kids even if sometimes they are a bit.. wild.
Oh, just out of curiosity, is your job like one where you move to a foreign country to teach English? I know there are a lot of programs that do that with Japan, Korea, and China.

Akai--Me In reply to Rolycul [2018-07-14 20:01:20 +0000 UTC]

Amazing! I'm quitting education because I can't stand it anymore... xDDD And in the meantime,
you're interested in being a teacher, it's so ironical! :·( 
But if you get the chance and you like it, you should really give it a chance. There's no better
teacher than one who enjoys what they do!!! 

Ah no, unfortunately, it isn't haha If I were in one of those programs in Japan, I wouldn't dislike
being a teacher, I think. 
It's a regular job in my country, I am a tutor of English. 
But now I changed job and, although I'm still a teacher, my main job is a translator ^v^

xDD those are my thoughts 24/7, so feel ya! XD
With pencil you can give it more hues and because you're not nervous 
about messing it up, the strokes are more natural... idk, I like it more hehe It's the way I've always 
worked; actually I hadn't inked nor colored before I opened my dA account and saw everyone doing it.. .XD

Yes! UvU We gotta keep it up XD After inktober as well !
