In the Meantime...

Well, as much as I love filling out requests and do art for the sake of art, I also have certain requirements to fulfill  thanks to my art GCSE. More specifically, I'm going to post a few of my media studies up here. The topic I'm exploring is 'Art and Words', and the sub category I've chosen is 'Lyrics'.

Keep Holding On- Avril Lavigne. 

It was a simple choice for me. I've always felt such resonance with some phrases in songs, that I just HAD to express it in art- share it with people who would appreciate. Believe me, trying to explain it to some people who hate music is like bashing my head against a brick wall. You guys understand though, right?
SO- all these studies I'm going to post are based on songs, or specific lyrics! Yay for my extra insight of synesthesia! Makes this project so much easier. I'd love to share my actual finished piece with you guys, but I don't think I'm allowed, since it hasn't been marked yet- but media studies should be fine.

Eye of the Tiger- Survivor

The first two are just relevant sketches. The tiger was a pain in the butt to try and draw, so I kinda gave up on it's front chest. You may be starting to realise that laziness is a common trait with me.
Still looks good though, and my dad always used to say 'Better is the Enemy of Good'.
In other words: It's not broke. Don't fix it.

Set Fire to the Rain- Adele

Now, the Adele one take a bit more insight. It's a perception thread, or 'song string'. The center is the start of the song, and the tip is the end. I coiled it, because the contrast between blue and red is more visible then, but often I just leave them as a linear thread.
Later I may go into more depth about links between colours and instruments, but for now, just understand that the reds are the chorus, and the blues are the verses. I wasn't allowed to listen to the song when I was making this thread- it was in a lesson- so its not as accurate a depiction as it usually would be, but it's close enough that I don't mind sharing it.

The Coldplay is another interesting one. It's netting with beads, shells and threads interwoven into it. You can't tell from the photo, because it's not a very good one, but there's a whole weave of stuff in there.

Charlie Brown- Coldplay

And each thing represents a certain aspect of the song- for instance the yellow thread is the voice of Chris Martin. The red is from the incredible guitar riff, naturally (well, let me put it this way, guitars are red to me, so the fact that the red's in there is no mistake) along with shells for the xylophone, and a few others.

In the end though, they all hopefully combine to show my understanding of lyrics and songs, without being strange enough that no one gets it. I don't know. I'll have to wait and see what mark I get for my sketchbook skills- the one thing I'm trying to improve!

To Begin With, Let Me Apologise...

This is NOT the best drawn anime person in the world, but for some reason I only draw late at night, when things go terribly wrong with my art! Anyway, it doesn't matter, because this is just a concept art for 'MYRLEN' which is (hopefully) the bright start to a wonderful project that will not go horribly wrong and make me want to just tear everything up!!! ^_^
All in all, for a rough work, it's not that bad, but the shoulders are too rounded, the hair isn't well done, and the neck...something is wrong. I LOVE the eyes- got some inspiration online for them, because my usual anime eyes just didnt seem to work with the face. Surprisingly, I also like the nose. Just looks nice. Don't ask me why, I dont know.
I don't quite know the full story behind this, but she's aparently some kind of elf...it's athurian legend based, whatever it is, so expect medieval junk from here on in with this project!
SO...enjoy, rate, review, comment, request, anything you want!

Foxy Lady

Alrighty then! For my first request- not including the extensive one she posted on my projects page- Kitsune-chan asked me to make her a Kitsune chibi, since she was so impressed with Kirin-cchi on the logo! Since this was a quicky, and not really an extensive labour of love (not that finding the right colour scheme for a fox isnt hard enough as it is) I've not done a documentary for this one, and will simply post it as it is! So ta da!

Kitsune is being cute, as per- when she isn't being a whip-lashing slave driver about the manga, and yes, it's late, so I was too lazy to have her eyes open. Still, it's I think the tail is a little too thin as well, but as I said, I'm lazy about quick ones, and Kitsune will forgive me for being tired at a late hour! kawaii, so enjoy Kitsune, wherever you are!
Let me know what you think, or request your own chibi in the comments section below!
