WIP/Preview: Maka with Soul


Here's a quick preview of one of the Soul Eater images I'm working on. Maka here is minus the portrait of Soul in the background, which I plan on doing and inserting today. And hopefully I can have absolutely everything I need to do finished by Friday morning.

Man, I'm really coming down to the wire on this thing.

Look for the finished image over at my Deviant Art account later!

Sketch: Black Star with Tsubaki


More Soul Eater art, this time of Black Star with his partner Tsubaki. Death the Kid is next in line and I'm going to try and respect his personal aesthetic by drawing him in a symmetrical stance.

The three images will be done so that the can be separate pieces (with portraits of the weapon partners in the backgrounds), but can also be laid out as one long poster so that they interconnect by way of the iconic Soul Eater arrows stretching across all three images.

Still working on my Professor Stein cosplay. Hopefully it'll be done by Halloween, though it'll definitely be ready by November 12th for Izumicon for sure.

Sketch: Maka with Soul


Oy, I need to keep a closer eye on this blog for comments and updates to the blogs I watch! This last month or so has been a very busy one, what with me trying to get my State Fair submission in on time, working on both art and a cosplay costume for Izumicon, and just trying to survive my regular Monday through Friday job in general.

Thought I'd pop in long enough here to upload a blue line sketch for one of my upcoming convention pieces - Maka with Soul, two of the main characters from the immensely popular anime series Soul Eater. I'll also be trying to do images of Black Star and Death the Kid, possibly Professor Stein. And I definitely have an image of Axel and Roxas from Kingdom Hearts in the works, which I'll post up at my Deviant Art account when completed.

Partial Rough: "Clockwork Courage"

Whoa, man. Long time no update. Work's been workin' me and I've been trying to get to work on my State Fair art entry. Unfortunately, that's not been going near as well as I'd like. But here's part of the rough draft image I'm currently rounding out.



I originally planned to enter this piece, "Clockwork Courage" in color...but due to time constraints, it looks like I may just be entering it as a black and white inks piece.

Commission: Ratchet and Arcee

Something I commissioned a little while back from the amazingly talented Boo of Transformers Animated: The Arrival fame. I'm dying to color this thing, but for now I'm having to either sit on my hands or busy them with work I need to get done over the next couple of weeks. The problem with even getting started on this is that I'll be tempted to finish it as soon as possible and will end up sinking ten hours into it before even realizing the time's gone.

As soon as I do get this colored, though, I'll be posting it at Deviant Art. Perhaps Pixiv as well. :)



Ha, I am such a nerd for this pairing.

Sketch: Franken Stein

Slow week, art-wise. Work's been tough and I just don't quite have the energy and the focus to get much done. But hey...have a doodle.

Professor Franken Stein from Soul Eater.
