Art stuffs!

Oh wow...I am SO BORED!!   And I have a bunch of fun ideas but my leather shipment has yet to arrive.  So!  I've been doodling.  Hurray for pen, ink, asnd prismacolor pencils.  They are my little saviors.

First up:  this is the conceptual drawing for my next big dragon plaque.  Asian dragon theme again.  I left out the stag antlers, but otherwise it's going to look just like this.  Summer is represented (in kimono art) by waves...so I'm calling this one "Natsu no nami".

Ignore the superfluous line up there on the top left...I'm an idiot and I was so excited about drawing the dragon figure that I went and did it before I drew the circle...which of course screwed up my circle.  Still, this is the basic idea.  All those waves will be separate pieces, stacked higher towards the front (bottom) and receding in back, so, 3-D.  The dragon will be black again (I just like it that way!) and the eye will be a pearl.  I'll find a big glass pearl-looking thing for the dragon to grasp.  It's going to be all in jewel tones except for a beige suede background, only visible in a few spots.  Not unlike Hokusai's color scheme for "The Great Wave".

Next!  As promised!  Fanart!

Naraku and Kanna, Sesshoumaru and Rin.  Light and dark.  Yin and Yang.  The term for the classic black & white symbol the Chinese use to represent this is called "Taijiutu", which is what I'm calling this sketch.

It's so funny...Sess looks so emo!  Must be the influence of Takahashi's storyline.  If Rin dies I'm going to need therapy...that kid is so damn cute.

And that's all I've got for now!  That leather better get here soon or I'm going to start drawing all over the walls.  *grumblegrumble*

Aww! I love your composition! And they're so cute! Also I don't feel too bad now 'cause yes, it seems everyone has had that idea before. :-) I think mine is different enough 'cause I used the hair colors for the fields (I'd hate to feel like I copied you...you get enough of that crap on DA). :-)

LOL, from you, I wouldn't have minded. Especially knowing that you did it before having seen mine. What irritates me is when someone starts watching me and lo and behold within a week, they have their very own realistic anime drawing with no word as to where the got the inspiration.... Of course there's always the possibilty that they came up with it on their own or saw someone else trying it, but it's just always so coincidental in the timing, I can't help but wonder.... XD

Hell, it's not like I'm the first to do what I do either. I think I'm just one of the more visable. XD
