It’s starting to warm up outside I guess. Is it safe for me to come out of hibernation? Hahaha. I haven’t updated at all this year yet, oops.

I actually have been doodling here and there, but nothing worthy of being uploaded. I figured though it’s been awhile, and my co-worker has been nagging me about posting something, so I figured why not.

So! Enjoy the random sketches =)

Flash is driving me totally nuts. Having never dabbled in animation before, I decided to try some more rotary tricks. Rotary as in Photoshop. Hahaha. Anyway I tried to do a basic walking cycle but I only did 5 frames. Which took me like 4 hours. Even though it’s just some sketches! Argh. I didn’t even draw her hand! Animation takes forever I need to find some korean animation studio and give them money to do the inbetweening for me because i suck.

My boyfriend is once again nagging me about the mascot art for animesuki.com – telling me that it’s getting cold and that a bikini just doesn’t cut it anymore. I feel kind of bad though, it’s like I’m taking on a monopoly of Kairin. o_o; Oops..

That’s supposed to be an asian paper lantern with a jack-o-lantern face painted on. Sorry my sketches are so rough XD;

So it’s October already. As you can see, the site’s been given a little bit of a face lift. There’s a Gallery page available now ^^

Here’s a sketch I’m working on right now. Gasp, more Phantasy Star stuff! It’s Nei-first, Nei-second and Nei-third. I hope to actually finish this one…

I’m alive! Really. I’m still kind of in an art slump. I’ve started a lot of drawings, but haven’t finished any of them. But I did some facebook graffiti!

Drew Tinkerbell for my boyfriend’s sister, hehe.

Annnd Yume with Natalie, for Jessica ♥ I haven’t drawn Natalie in so very long.. since about 2004 or so? Anyway, hopefully I’ll doodle more stuff soon. :3

So, my old website, crystaltenshi.com, has officially died as of July 8th, and I’m trying to relocate some of the content of it over to this server.

Phantasy Star: ~Sealed Memories~(Memorial Drama CD Translation)

There it is. I actually plan on updating it soon with some corrections to the translation, and I’m actually working on drawing up some cute fanart for it. XD

Here’s a preview of the sketches :B

Thinking of other manga ideas, this would be Shiori. :B I tried to come up with a cute school uniform but I’m not sure about the gray now. Damnit, i should have edited out the sloppy pic on the side <_< oh well

Yet another facebook graffiti doodle!

this one is for becky~ iroha from iidx is so cute ;n;

これはまたFacebookのグラフィティーアプリで描いたの。

I’ve been trying to tweak Rally’s character design a little.

ラリーのキャラデザインをちょっと繕おうとしたの。（ラリーは、私のRevineというマンガのヒロインの一人です。)＾＾

Do the denim shorts look better, or do the white shorts? Also, all white boots or do the boots with some red look better? I get so picky about the details sometimes XD;

デニムショーツとしろショーツ、どっちがいい？やっぱ左の方がカウボーイっぽくてダサいかも。もともとラリーが真っ白なキャラだったけどね。でもいや、あたしってよく細かいことに考えすぎ。(@_@)；

And that’s a super rough sketch of Rally’s face sheet, which I actually doobled a couple of months ago.

I’ll start posting finished pieces soon, I swear. But on a good note, I’ve been working on comic pages again though! (Finally!)

何ヶ月前に描いたらフなキャラクタデザインシートです。
もうすぐちゃんと完成した絵を描くからどうか勘弁してください。というか、最近またマンガを描くようになったよ！(やっと！)
