A Chibi A Day...{Part Three}

And so the saga continues! I have to say, I am surprising myself with my dedication here. Sat at my computer with my little chibis, wondering if I'll ever make my self-imposed deadline. It's a labor of love, I'm telling you.
So, today's chibi is Den Fears, a character of The Seeker Within who hasn't actually appeared in the fiction yet- he's a Season Two character, after all, and the story has yet to reach the conclusion of the second season.
Still, for reasons that will become apparent in time, Den is a rat.
He was actually quite a challenge. I wasn't sure what to do with him- his colour scheme is entirely brown, thanks to brown hair and brown eye, and yet it worked well on the chosen animal.
Sadly my run of chibis might come to a halt for a few days, as, like i previously explained, I'm going to my sisters, and can't take my laptop with me, because of the screen linked up to the TV like it is.
Excuses, excuses, I am aware I promised you six chibis, and six you will have!

A Chibi A Day...{Part Two}

Yay for me! This plan is going well so far- and by that I mean I have actually stuck to it! Only four more chibis left, hmm? Let's hope my willpower lasts that long, and my attention span along with it.
Anyway, now that all my self congratulating is over and done with we can get down to the chibi itself. Today's chibi is Zhalia Moon, the blue haired loner of the Huntik group- thus a wolf, yes? Her eyes were actually quite difficult to pin down in the series, because she always has her hair flopping about everywhere, and then they will randomly change colour from amber to brown and back again. Grrr. Hey, Huntik- why you no have consistency? Still, here it is, enjoy.
And that's it, really- On to the next Chibi! Who will it be? Will, Dante...or someone else?

A Chibi A Day...{Part One}

Hello Internet, and my apologies for my prolonged absence from my blog! I have excuses, and they are many, ranging from exams to procrastination. I'm a very good procrastinator. Brilliant at it, in fact. Look, for instance now, by telling you how great I am at procrastining, I have procrastinated from the main point of this post!
Basically, I get bored easily, and so it takes interesting work to keep my on a project like the blog. It's why I've been away for so long. With no requests flooding in from all you people, I've had nothing to do, and my imagination has been limited to supply my own creations.
Never fear, though!
I have devised a scheme to keep my blogging- and it's called A Chibi A Day.
Now, dependent on difficulty, this is pretty simple. I will attempt to post a chibi a day, in a series of six, for a new project 'The Seeker Within'. I realize now due to computer issues (to put it short, my screen is cracked and I am currently hooked up to my TV to use my laptop) that if I am not at home- and I plan to go see my sisters this weekend- my Chibi schedule may be put on hold until I return.
In the past I have never been brilliant at keeping to schedules, but I will Endeavor (Morse) to succeed!
Finally, onto the main reason for this post, the chibi itself- this is Loki, the protagonist for The Seeker Within, and, to avoid spoilers, that's all I will say.

Signing off- until tomorrow?

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!

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!
