Sweet Dreams; Where your bed is literally a jar of candy!

His name is Akuno, and he is a miniature imp who loves candy so much, he has made a jar of candy into his own bed.

I've only just completed this image, and I wanted to upload it as soon as I could. I tend to go overboard with detail on my pictures, so I thought I'd attempt something that had much less detail with the Line Art, and more of a simple design. I'm really attached to this one; I've spent more than just a couple of years drawing this guy from one of my stories.

Please, let me know if there's anywhere I have room for improvement (Undoubtedly there is an awful lot, lol).

^^ Turned out wonderful in the end, what is he though? Looks like a nymph to me or something aquatic. owo

Thank you! =3 He's more or less an aquatic Imp, to put it simply. He's from a book / Graphic novel I've been working on for years. Swims through the air and just pretty much adores anything sweet; thus the sweets jar. I dunno, I think I just have a habit of turning not so cute things cute. Dunno why.

Yeah, but I do it constantly, kinda makes it hard to do anything horror related.

Yeah, horror is out of my normal genre... but I am trying to practice, so I can explore it and make some pictures for my stories. owo

Haha, sounds cool I'm working on something like that too. Do you submit your stories?

I do in manga format, but maybe I'll post a text story sometime. ^^

Haha, I'm the complete opposite on that - I write books, but I've been trying to do manga panels. Actually, the horror story I've been working on would work for that if I could just get my drawings not cute.... hmmmm

I'm considering doing some illustrating, but I've been unsure about it. XD

Haha, I've been in the same boat - only just started with it now.

It's interesting, you have to draw the scene and such.

MelonFoxJozei In reply to XTKandChaosX [2012-09-28 16:07:03 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I looked at that and found myself more than a little daunted - I'm fine with drawing the same character over and over again, but drawing motion and scenery is kinda where I get unstuck. I've got a couple of motion exercises to learn, but that's about it. Do you have any things you do to work it out?

XTKandChaosX In reply to MelonFoxJozei [2012-09-28 18:25:17 +0000 UTC]

About the same as you, I can *almost* draw the character the same again, but I need to work on scenery and motion. It's also good to know expression, and clothing design.

Ah, lol. I see. I never got taught any of my drawing over here, so I've been sitting there staring at pictures all day to analyze how it works, lol.

That does help, but my weakness can be clothes... XD and hands... Clothes and hands. -3-

I find feet to be more of a problem myself, I don't know why. I think it's getting the shoes to conform with it properly moreso than anything else.

Yeah, shoes aren't my forte... makes me realize I have a lot to practice on. owo;
