Description PINCH SERVER
A player whose speciality is a decisive and precise serve, thrown with the intent of changing the flow of the game during a time of crisis.

-----------------------------

Mini reflexion:
Well, I watched Haikyuu!! not to mention, read the manga. Out of all the characters, I guess I can say, that two are my current favorites: one of them being Oikawa Tooru.
In all honesty, I can relate a lot to him because of how hard he works for his goals, being an encouraging captain, because of his cheery/teasing attitude or his passion (just to mention a few). Hope to see a little more of him in the future!!


I don't know how noticeable it is but... I tried a different coloring scheme. It is more color complementary than what I used to do. I enjoyed trying something new but I am a little unsure about it. Perhaps after some practice it will get better.

Btw, the title refers to Bokuto's quote:
"You know, setters are like orchestra conductors. Even if you have the same song and the same orchestra, if the conductor is different… the sound is different."

The title is a compositional term of tempi. Tempo is used in musical terminology. It means the speed of the given piece or subsection.
The combination "vivace meastoso" refers to
(1) the Italian basic tempo marking "vivace" meaning lively and fast (168–176 BPM)
and (2) the mood marking "maestoso" meaning majestic or stately.


Anyway, I really hope you guys like it!

AMAZING! I really like how striking his pose is!

Something I've been trying to draw but proportions and foreshortening are some of my
weak sides in drawing. Great job! I'm not usually a big fan of semi realistic anime works but this got my attention

I should really watch Haikyuu!! by now. hehe

Thank you so much!!
You should have seen how his original pose looked like: imgur.com/4RmQtCE
I thought I'm going to cry when I saw it.....

Well, if you allow me some advice giving, please take a look at this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJWLaD…
It has been helping a lot with how I can draw right now.

Be careful with watching HQ!! cause you can get quite into it in no time!

No probs!!

And thank you for the video, I'll be checking that out right now. hehe.

One of my friends is a really big HQ fan, and she wasn't really into anime before

Of course! I hope you can use it to your advantage!

Well, it certainly has a vibe you can hardly not feel. The whole story, the characters, the art, etc. everything just makes you want to know more about the series and know how your favs are doing! You might even end up loving the enemy team!

Woah, the anatomy here is astounding! And Oikawa looks majestic as he always does. He's one of my favorites too!

Always a pleasure! Those volleyball poses are always so difficult but you honestly pulled them off 100%

Aww!!! Thank you!!! Now I feel more than happy!!

In all honesty... I had to jump around a couple of times in front of a mirror to see how the pose will work...

I don't really watch sports anime for some reason, but omg his pose is quite dynamic in this one!
I've also noticed how your colouring looks more coordinated in this piece particularly ^^

Thank you!!

You should see his original pose in the anime: i.imgur.com/4RmQtCE.png?1 .... Guh... I was scared his limbs are going to fall off... .___.

Ah!! Does the coloring look odd with the lineart? I was worried since I like my lines to be messy and the pastels seemed a bit off....

acataleptic-thoughts In reply to ValkyrjaPride [2015-06-07 05:42:41 +0000 UTC]

It's a pleasure!

Bahaha omg, I wouldn't want him to crash land that's for sure xD But in comparison with your drawing I think yours is more realistic and fluid (and hnnggg the anatomy oh lord <3). While I can't blame the anime quality cause I know they tend to draft scenes out pretty quickly but I enjoy fangirling over the comparison xD 

Oh nope! I think they go together rather well. I think the colouring being relatively cleaner to the lineart adds to the overall feel of your work ^^

ValkyrjaPride In reply to acataleptic-thoughts [2015-06-13 09:52:48 +0000 UTC]

x""DD OMG! His crash landing would cause a super nova!! 

I live to serve the Lord of Fanservice!   

Well, I am especially happy that you are fangirling because of the differences!! 
Btw, if you don't mind me asking, Farah-chan, how come you don't really watch sports animes?

Yaay!! Then there is hope for my messy style!!!

acataleptic-thoughts In reply to ValkyrjaPride [2015-06-14 05:13:44 +0000 UTC]

Hahahaha omg I don't have a pretty image in mind seeing him crash-land (<--- has been exposed to too much gore), though I also have a not-so-innocent image since you mentioned fanservice xDD

It's not that I don't like sports anime though, I tend to prefer anime set in alternate universes and such. I'd like to watch Free! sometime though, I've been exposed to too much pretty swimming boys on Tumblr ...   

Haha it's a very interesting style! I think you're understanding it more with each new work ^^

ValkyrjaPride In reply to acataleptic-thoughts [2015-06-16 11:33:21 +0000 UTC]

Well, you have a pretty ambivalent image there! But I'm not even surprised!!
Though... I would be kind of curious what you have in your pretty brain as a not-so-innocent image

Ah! I see!! We could have a TG sport AU...
NOWAAAAAY!!! Tumblr is infecting people!!! But... if you watch Free! I would be really glad to.. discuss it with you.

Kind of! I'm still not 100% happy with it however... but I guess that's the maximalist speaking here!

Ohoho. Do not underestimate my 'pretty' brain, I'm sure if scientists opened it up it won't be surprising if they found a sewer or a terrible void inside :'D It's where all the thoughts I'd never imagine having come from .. Makes me question myself sometimes  

TG SPORT AU. KAMI-SAMA HEAR MY PRAYERS.  
Bahahaha omg that icon x'DDD I'll watch it over the next holidays I'll have .. I want to know why everyone loves this anime so much xD

That's normal~ At least you have a good attitude about it though *^^*

Your brain is beautiful, Farah-chan!! Just the right amount grey matter and white matter!!

Just imagine..... boxing AU. KANEKI. IN. BOXING. SHORTS.

Hmmm... Well, if you watch Free!... you will see....Muscles. A. LOT. OF. MUSCLES!! And prepare the tissues, because you are going to have a nosebleed, you are going to drool and you are also going to cry!

Awwww omg you've no idea how fluffy that makes me feel inside~   
Heeeuhhhhh that's a gorgeous mental of image of Kaneki butt. I really like that huehuehue an icon kennot describe my feelings for this 8D

I've seen a few episodes of the first season already! (while I should be studying but shhh) xD Hurrr there's a lot of lean bodies and stuff, what eye candy *faints* I think my favourite now is Nagisa, he's such an adorable fluffball * ^* But I quite like the story, it's something refreshing for me compared to all the heavy material I'm used to xD
I really don't like Rin at the moment .. He's got an attitude problem >.>

:''D I see what you did there!!

Don't worry about it, Farah-chan! In all honesty, I always am the opinion that having breaks is very important during studying and even before or after it!! After all, your brain needs to regenerate!
Ah... btw, Farah-chan, I wanted to tell you that if you need any help in making studying easier or more creative, please ask FREEly!

Nagisa is the pun master!!! Seriously that guy is amazingly cute and hyper! I know!
*cough* cough* If you want, I can link you to some R18 drama cd with Nagisa's seiyuu. I found it by accident..... REALLY!!!!!!!

Actually, it helps you kind of to regenerate, as well.
Any opinion on Makoto?
In all honesty.... I still don't really like Rin after the second season. But yes... he is kind of a jerk in the first season.

Oh man. My brain needs a lot of time to regenerate xDD Especially since classes are starting to pick up towards my trial exams in September. All I want to do is draw and watch anime all day *deep sigh* :''D
Hmm I do need to rearrange my studying strategies though. Like, I really enjoy History but I can't really study unless I make notes. And to do that I need to refer to two different books, which is very time consuming  

Haha he sure is! It's also nice how deep he is, he's all adorable and enthusiastic but really perceptive and observant towards the others!
Holy cow R18 Nagisa sign me up huehuehue 8D Hahaha it's like my ears are going to come off one day from all this

Makoto is someone I'd really love to have as an older brother (since I'm an only child)~ He's a really good friend to Haru, very supportive. And he looks after him well too. I think he's a really good example in general *^^*
I can understand Rin's competitiveness but he seems to sacrifice his friendship with Haru for it :< And poor Haru just loves to swim that's all! Must Rin be such a jerk to him >.>
