Description The long forgotten mascot, A-chan returns LMAO

Title inspiration taken from Gintama, "Zura ja nai, Katsura da!!" XD Bloody dA does't allow "!!"s in titles =__=;;

Um, just trying out my new tablet which I got yesterday. Took me 2 whole days drawing, linearting and CGing this. I know, everyone's going to go "You buy a new tablet to CELL SHADE!?!?!??" ...Well, I do plan to TRY soft shade... One day... XD

Okay, I have no idea what happened to Anime Desho Desho (aniblog where A-chan's the mascot XD) I assume it just... died off, I think LOL After doing the first CG of A-chan, me and tsubaki just kind of... lost contact with each other o_o;; I mean we're on each other's MSN lists, but none of us tried to contact each other, so there were no new plans for A-chan XD;;

I do remember before ADD died off, tsu did a poll on which type of seifuku his readers liked the most and I was to draw A-chan in the winning seifuku... God knows which seifuku won but I THINK his favourite was this... Something with a cardigan at least LOL

Um yes I know there's no light source. Um yes I know the shading makes no sense. Um yes I know cardigans aren't that tight. LOL. I had fun doing this and that's enough for me. OH I HATED THE SKIRT THOUGH, god bless those who design skirts like that, I totally failed at it and it took me an hour or so designing, erasing, rinse and repeat =__=;; I did CLANNAD EYES~ Pain in the ass but end result looks good. Had no idea what to do for the background so I splat some brushes around. Forgot where I got it from, credits to brush maker XD;; Yeah the background looks shit.. Spare the creativity-deprived me LOL

I think I might abandon traditional lineart. My digital lineart lacks the quality and distinctiveness of my traditional ones, but it's freakin' easier to do and therefore may motivate me to post more LOL

I'm gonna watch you.

I think the cell-shading looks very nice and professional! The hair is drawn very skillfully, with clear volume and shape. The ribbon really feels like a ribbon. And these lines are so crisp! She's so cute!

I'm glad my choice of colours gave out that feeling Though EVERYTHING was recycled from the previous A-chan CG other than the cardigan which was stolen from another source LOL

her boobs look so squishy! TEACH ME HOW TO DRAW FEMALE ANATOMY CHERYL!

and you really should try soft shade or painter style~ they're a lot more fun to do

CherylHew In reply to pchaness [2009-02-21 06:49:12 +0000 UTC]

WUT of all places you look there. PERVO POTATO!! LOL My female anatomy sucks shit, it only "sometimes" turns out passable because... I draw the freakin' same body, same angle, same pose all the time =__=;; *FAILURE*

I SCARED OF SOFT SHADE LAAAA I've tried before and GODDAMMIT failed so horribly. I feel as if my style of drawing suits cell shade better, like cleaner LOL See whether I draw something "different" one day then maybe I'll try again... Don't laugh though TT__TT

I love the shading of the hair and ESPECIALLY the skirt ;D I don't care what you say! It's all so lovely! Congrats on your tablet! I've never ever used one and am eager to try at least once *though I have no computer skills*

CherylHew In reply to BloodRubiesNata [2009-02-21 06:52:29 +0000 UTC]

Who says I have any computer skills LOL The poor tablet will rot under my care, I so misuse it. Kind of an "impulse" buy but it really makes linearting and CGing tons easier... I used to have another one by a less known brand and it recently died so XD;; If you have a solid traditional base I bet you could transition to digital quite well, and you DO have a nice base in traditional, Nata-chan

Thanks for the always extremely nice and uplifting comments~ *GLOMPS YA*
