Cambia poco, visto che comunque tutti i post saranno impostati su "pubblici", quindi saranno visibili a tutti. Ovviamente seguendomi avrete la certezza di veder apparire sulla vostra home i miei post, al contrario di quanto accadeva con la pagina, dove era il signor Mark a decidere a chi andava il privilegio e a chi no >.>

DESCRIZIONE/ CURIOSITA' SULLA REALIZZAZIONE...

Questo lavoro, seppur nella sua semplicità, ha riscosso un successo (niente di eccezionale eh XD) che non mi sarei aspettata.

Di per sé il disegno è nato ispirato da un personaggio creato dal gestore del sito Balance the Armony, per cui ho curato la grafica. 

Lei è la protagonista della storia "conduttrice" del sito e, per come me l'ha descritta l'autore, in realtà, l'avevo immaginata ignuda. 

Ora, per non incorrere in problematiche e non vedermi censurare e/o cancellare tutto il lavoro per oscenità, ho deciso di vestirla.

E quindi ho dovuto pensare a COME vestirla. 

Devo dire che all'inizio ero piuttosto indecisa, poi giocando sui veli "fluttuanti" della gonna e sulla trama a merletto, il risultato finale mi ha soddisfatto.

Per il resto, i colori scelti sono abbinati a quelli utilizzati e richiesti per la grafica del sito, e sono stati in parte una sfida, essendo io principalmente un'amante dei colori caldi.

Che altro dire, eccola qui!

Commenti e condivisioni son sempre ben accette :p

Alla prossima!

ps: per onor di cronaca, alla fine, in Minitokyo hanno inserito il disegno nella categoria ECCHI ( che non è visibile a chi non è iscritto al sito), perché la scollatura è troppa esposta. 

...prossima volta me ne frego, almeno se devono essere considerati ecchi, che lo siano davvero >.>

GET A LIFE! or better... MY LIFE IS GETTING ME [ENG] [ITA]

@ENGLISH

Hello :3 

The title should be give an idea about the topic of this post :p

So, I'm going to graduate in college and I need to concentrate ALL my energies for this important target.

For this reason probably in next weeks, I'll not post anything NEW here, on YT or FB.

But I'll not stop to drawing andd be sure that when I'll come back, I'll fill you with a lot of new things and love <3

So, wish me luck, and see you soon :D

@ITALIANO

Il titolo dovrebbe darvi un'idea sull'argomento di questo post :p

Sto per laurearmi, e tra ultimo esame e tesi, ho bisogno di concentrare tutte le mie energie su questo obiettivo, per riuscire a far tutto entro le date stabilite.

Chiunque di voi si sia già laureato, sa bene di cosa parlo :p

Per questa ragione sia il blog, che FB che YT non verranno aggiornati. 

O meglio, ogni tanto potrei far capolino, presa dalla sconforto delle 10000 citazioni da inserire nella tesi, per fare un saluto, ma ovviamente sarò molto meno presente.

Questo non vuol dire che smetterò totalmente di disegnare, visto che per me il disegno è il miglior antistress che la natura mi ha dato, ma che vedrete tutti i vari lavori solo più avanti :)

Quindi, auguratemi buona fortuna >.<  e ci "vediamo" tra qualche settimana, laureata e felice (spero) :D

DESCRIPTION/MAKING OF...

The idea for this work was really old, and it come in my mind after I saw the Katy Perry Music Video “Futuristic Lover – E.T.”. 

I liked song, but more than that I liked the music video, with that strange dresses and make up!

That time I would like to made a manga/anime version of Katy, and I also made some sketches on the paper, but at the end I gave up.

Fews weeks later, I found this scan .

The pose was perfect, and so I decided to use it as reference to draw the initial sketch; after that I re-watched many times the K.P. Music Video, and finally I finished all the concept!

Anyway you could see all this passages in the speedrawing video :3

To made the background I followed this tutorial . 

Actually it is a photoshop tutorial, but I hadn’t any problem to use it in Gimp :)

I only had to pick others stock images, since the ones he linked aren’t free to use :( (you could find all the images that I used above this description).

Well, I hope that you’ll like it, comments and suggestions are always welcome!

DESCRIPTION/MAKING OF...

This was one of the biggest and most difficult work I've ever made.

For different reasons, all the process was 23 weeks long! Obviously, because I made progress little by little, because I was pretty busy in that period, but I didn't want to give up!

A lot of people helped me and enjoyed the process on Minitokyo Forum ( TOPIC 1 - 2 - 3 ) and then on DeviantART, when I posted step by step the process and then I collected all in this image: MAKING OF .

It was really an hard work, for the amount of details and for subjects. 

I enjoyed expecially making her jewelry, the various fishes and the lights effect. I rather hated to do turtles >.> But I like how they turned out! They just killed me a litte ù.ù

Here some details of this drawing:

References used: a lot of images, from MiniTOKYo gallery and from Goggle images (for fishes, corall, turtles, ect ect)

:3 Someone knows that this work was born for the "DRAW THIS AGAIN" challenge on DA. 

Rules of contest were simple: re-drawing an old work made before, using your improvement skills.

So, I decided to re-draw this work: Fairy

At the end I can't finish it in time for the daedline (I'm tooooo slow!) , but I decided to continue and finish it anyway, and the final risult is this :)

It was pretty funny to do: some of ispiration came from AVATAR, the Cameron's film of course. 

About the dress I was inspired by some CLAMP's works. 

At the end it came to be an unique piece, pretty different from the old one :3

I don't have more else to say, all the process is recording in the video (more or less), so you can watch it to have an idea about how this work came out step by step :3

DESCRIPTION/MAKING OF...
That time I chose to do an Ai fanart/wall, because I saw that the few works about this serie are really old, and I want to share a little of love for this beatiful manga, that proably most of people don't know, since it's really old (the first publication was in 1987 if I rememeber it right...).

The idea to made Ai in kimono cames from this scan and some of the ispiration come from this other one.
The idea of background instead come little by little, and until the end I changed it a lot of times.

Since the process was really, I did this image to show you all steps :)

1. Sketch. I started sketching the pose, using as reference an illustration from one of Sky Doll's artbook.
 Then I sketched the kimono, hair and background.

2. Base colours. I chose warm ones for kimono and grey version of hair, between the other ones ( there are Ai's illustrations when she has blond, white and also pink hair o.o )

3. Eyes. The first thing I worked on is her face; especially her eyes. I spent more than one hour type of shadows/lights effects, and finally I came out with this result! (and I like it :p )

4. Kimono and Hair. Shadows, shadows and shadows! It was really a hard work, especially hair, since Ai has this strange cut hair style >.<
2
5. Ninfee Pattern. I added a floral pattern, designed by me, on kimono. I worked it with "IWarping" distorting GIMP's effect, in order to follow all kimono's folds.

6. Background. I started to work on background, using some images of japanese houese as reference, to obtain the final one.

7. Pattern on backgrounds. And so I finished the background! I used two pattern from Gimp Paint Studio Packet to give a more realistic look :3

8. Night Light. At this point I made the night light effect! Actually, it's just a level filling with #7178aa colour, and setting on "Fusion" Mode :p

9. Grass. I tried to give a more prospective effect, making different sizes of grass. No particular brushes used, just the default one. 

10. Fireflies. The last touch :3 

What else could I write?...welll obsviously I hope you like it, and COMMENTs are always welcome :)
See ya

Okei, here we go!
Actually this is a commission: an Howl and Sophie FanArt made in order to be the cover of the “Flowers Wall” fanfiction written by my friend Marge :3
Unfortunately the fanfiction is only in Italian :( 

Per gli italiani, si trova qui: http://www.efpfanfic.net/viewstory.php?sid=688534&i=1
Richiede la registrazione per leggerla perché in alcuni capitoli il rating è rosso, ma niente di pornografico o violento, davvero! :p E vale la pena leggerla!

Back in english ù.ù
So, Marge asked me to drawing a scene that often appears in her fanfiction: Howl and Sophie in the magician’s bedroom, with obviously a shy Sophie and narcissist Howl :3
So the first problem is the Howl’d bedroom: anyone who knows the Miyazaki film or the original book, he/she knows how this bedroom have to be.

Actually in Marge fanfiction something are different, so I decided to try to do hybrid between the “old” howl’s bedroom and the “new” howl’s bedroom descripted by her.


For old bedroom I used a screenshoot of Miyazaki film, for new bedroom I tried to use my fantasy and actually different reference images for some objects.
One of the more “useful” image was an official art of  FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST.
Then I mixed all these elements and the final result is this :D

I hope you like it, comments and suggestions are always welcome ^_^
Ah, there is a little intruder in this drawing, can you find him/her? :3

DESCRIPTION/MAKING OF...

Hello everybody :3
This drawing was made to enjoy two contest, 3 years ago:
The TopManga.it contest and the MangaCaffè Contest , both closed (obviously :p ).

The rules of the first one asked to drawing an original character in a japanese school uniform and with an object in her/his hands.
Instead the subject of MangaCaffè Contest was "WATERMELON".

And so, combining all these parametres, the final idea that come in my mind was one of anime's cliché: "breaking watermelon with a wood sword on the beach during summer holiday" :D

The first sketch was made in few hours, then I spent three days to finish it, and I had to "hurry" because I've just finished it 40 minutes before the MangaCaffè Contest was closed XD 

Anyway this is the final result :3
Comments are always welcome! ^_^

SAILOR MOON CRYSTAL - WORK IN PROGRESS [ENG]

And here we're, with the first post about a WORK in PROGRESS (WIP).

After the release of the first Sailor Moon Crystal's episode, I decided that I had to do a fanart about this anime.

Sailor Moon and the other senshi are ones of first characters I've ever drawn in my life!

Since I'm out, I haven't got my tablet with me, so I'll probably finish this work in autumn. Anyway, this is a little sample of the style I'm using to do it!

I'm very excited to draw, once again, these girls and for this reason I want to share with you the "work in progress" little by little :3 

On my FB page I'll post bigger previews, so by sure to follow me also on my page <3

Hi there! 
This will be the first original/new work posted on this blog *.*
Anyway, I made the original drawing some years ago (maybe in 2006).
It was a simple work made on paper with pencil and a black pen :3
I'm talking about this drawing: Cuore Meccanico .

After all this time, I decide to digitalize it!
And so, I painted over it, to create this piece :3
I worked a lot on lights and shadows, and I hope you'll appreciated it!

Let me know what you think about it, and feel free to share!

DESCRIPTION/MAKING OF...

This wallpaper has a looog story. Firstable, this work is a birthday's present for Jacopo, a friend of mine :3 

He loves both characters of Miku and BRS, and so, for this reason, I decided to do a crossover wallpaper.

But since these characters had 2 totally different designs, I decided to draw both with my own style.

I use this Chobits' scan " Missing you " like reference for the pose, and the I started to draw Miku and BRS directly on GIMP 2.6, using a lot of pen tools -.- (in 2011 I didn't own the Intuos Wacom Tablet that I have now).

It was a really loong work, especially hair of both girls gave me an hard time :p 

Let me know, with a comment, what you think about it :D
