Seeing Red
Red thanks all those who voted for her by forcing me to post this artwork (quickly done, and not full size ^^;) before the long weekend :P

Original characters
I was often asked “Who are you drawing?” whenever I draw a person (Mostly girls), most of them are nameless characters except for a few… I quickly sketched this doodle out, and coloured roughly on photoshop. ^^
BBlue is probably one of the first characters I ever created (and actually remembered) for an online chatting site. She’s probably eternally 19 years old, gentle and smart, very girly but a bit stubborn.
Paw is boisterous and silly, loud and sometimes a bit annoying. She’s the most tomboyish of the lot. Her hair was sometimes reddish rather than dark blue :) I think I draw her the most.
Red is a character I almost scratched, but I do like her mature and curvy design. She has a mysterious occupation (a spy maybe?) And is quite athletic despite her feminine look.
Ahmin is probably the most exposed and long running original character I have created so far. In fact I cannot even remember which year I created her o_o; but it is a long time ago ^^;
The funny thing was she was initially supposed to be a male character but I asked for her to be a tomboy instead since girls are cuter and have more fun with fashion (and they accepted the idea). You may still see her reporting on anime/manga/comics related news about once a week on the Chinese Daily paper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore.
Of course there’s also the character, May, whom I created as the cover girl of my first book, from Puppy with Love. I hope to some day revive her if I settle down on a good storyline :)
Hmmmm I put a poll on the side of the blog for this entry, not sure if it’s working, sooooo if it’s working for you…. which girl you like most? *puppy dog eyes* LOL

Bikini girl Wallpapers
I must apologize for the delay in making these since I promised a while ago ^^; these days it has just been getting busier and crazier by the minute :P So I bring you 3 versions of the Bikini girl (click to view past progress) wallpapers :D She was initially going to be a blond girl, so I included a blond version as well. Thankfully it is relatively easy to change the colours if you have all similar colours in layers ^^

Meanwhile, tumblr has been updated… dechu :3
Cat and Bunny girls
Felt like drawing this, ended up inking and coloring it ^^; Full view in Gallery page :D
I am not sure how I am going to make a go to previous pages link at the bottom, since I am not hosting on blogger (oops) think it is a sticky matter to deal with, as I am not good at coding… ;_;
So, I am going to at least try to link to wallpaper I created with my artwork on the side, under the navigation buttons :) Currently Mirai wallpaper is linked there ^^/ Need to find time/inspiration to make the bikini girl into wallpapers :P
I have also updated a few links into Links page, gotta find some ways to categorize the links properly ^^;
Okay it’s way past bed time… goodnite!
Clannad Fan art completed!
Fan art of Kyou Fujibayashi from Clannad coloured :3 Simple background this time ^^;
Full view at Gallery page ^^/!
Spice and Wolf Coloured
So, I coloured Horo :P Spot the photoshop tweakings LOL!
Full view is available in Gallery page ^^/ And yes she’s naked, nothing important is showing tho, but I’m sure it is probably not safe for work (NSFW) ^^;
Okay time for bed, thanks for checking this out, it was rather enjoyable colouring her ;)
Photoshop, when how much is too much?
One day I was checking out del.icio.us I came across this site by accident.
PhotoshopDisasters. Can you believe some people actually get paid for doing this kinda work? :P
Mind you, I myself do a little bit too much tweaking on photoshop sometimes, if not all the time!
A recent example of my over tweaking below:
The one on the left is the original art, and one on the right is tweaked in photoshop.
If I could choose, I would rather to not have to do so much tweaking, as it seems to make the original art kinda blah. So these days, if I have some artwork sketched out without feeling that I need to do too much photoshop tweaking to it I would be quite happy! ^
Many years ago, I remember having carefully coloured an artwork before in photoshop, posted it up (being quite satisfied with it) and having someone tell me that I got the thumb on the wrong side on one hand LOL (oops!)
While visiting some artist friends in the states earlier this year, we were also talking about the over-usage of the photoshop filter “lense flare” probably when was just introduced into photoshop at the time — finished your artwork? Let’s add some “lense flare”! :P Eyes not sparkley enough? Yup “lense flare”! LOL
There’s probably a fine line between what’s enough and what’s too much no?
Bikini girl progress
So came home and meddled with the art a bit — editing the line art removing artifacts, colouring/shading. I felt that the hand nearer to her head was a bit small (It was bugging me since I started colouring it) so I edited it in photoshop ^^; Hopefully it looks a bit better now?
Also coloured her bikini, wanted it to be a dark maroony colour but changed it to this colour instead, maybe change the colour again later tho :3
Tumblr is updated with springish outdoorsy pictures :)
