We interrupt this good picture streak to bring you: Crappy Artworks!
In other news; work sucks.

In other-other news: I saw ‘The Last Samurai’ on TV the other day. It was cool to finally see it since I’d heard about it, and its about things I’m interested in. It was pretty cool too; with the whole synergy between Western and Eastern thing that I try for in real life too. Unfortunately it ended at 11:30 and I had to be up the next morning so I couldn’t use that Japanese boost to draw something really nice for this week. ><;
Though it did finally give me a last name for my pen-name: Matsu. Not sure why, but hey, I don’t make the rules. So now I’m Hiroshi Matsu (or Matsu Hiroshi if you like it that way). I choose to use the ‘wait’ kanji rather than the ‘pine tree’ kanji because I know it and its cooler/more fitting. XD This is why you see the new squiggle in that signature of mine. ;)

Nyeeeh This picture is soooo crap. XD I have bought a 0.3mm inking pen to go with my 0.5 one now though. :)

Heres hoping I can go back to something more decent next week. ;)

Chibi Ninja Archer

Still practising with my inking pen.. This one actually looks better from a bit of a distance. xD
Fortunately for me, photoshop was able to tweak some of the mistakes to be less obvious. I do have to somehow keep more of a steady hand while inking though..
Oh, and I forgot to break the lines for the hair on the fringe (its not all supposed to be fully separated) but oh well.

Tadaa, here it is. The first picture I’ve drawn with my new inking pen. At the smaller resolution you can’t really tell the difference but when you go for the larger version you can really tell that the lines are more defined/concise and dark. This is good. :) Hopefully if I practice enough I can get skilled so that the lines don’t look wobbly, and I will hopefully be able to do the hair with speedy lines to make it look more fluid. :D
Quite a difficult pose to draw but I think I pulled it off alright (though my hands really have gone down the drain recently >< ). I’m experimenting/practising with more action poses and stuff (a sign of things to come..? Wouldn’t you like to know haha). :D

Locket Lucian

Its been a while since I drew wings. Cat ears have had their turn; now its back to more traditional stuff. Go go wing power~.
I wonder if her wings let her ride the wind home. And who’s locket is it? These burning questions and more only on: The Rat Hole. :D

The picture isn’t even that good.. Oh well; It’ll do. Exams are still on after all. ;)
