I keep missing days, asdaf, hate it when that happens

It’s getting a bit too much lately. Life, that is. I’m glad winter break starts on Friday.
This is not Haruki by the way. I feel the need to mention this because my emo stuff always features him >=<

A little comparison

Now that I have only three panels left, I start regretting some of the stylistic choices I made, and keep thinking that the plot needed a couple more panels, orz. But moving along. You learn with every mistake!

Oh God, what happened?

This is so pathetic, orz, excuse me while I weep in some corner somewhere x,D Most months I only had like…1 pic to choose from.

I improved my anatomy a little bit. And that’s it, I think? Wow.

Yup.

I try to make some time every night to draw now, even if it’s just half an hour ; v ;

Bunneh will beat the sh*t outta you because he resents being drawn with mouse.

I’ll do a shelf life later today. For now, bunneh. He’s part of that thing I’m going this weekend! 8D

Please don't look at his arms. Or his hands. I'll give you money if you don't look there! >=<

Take note of the fact that, between the 2010 and the 2011 version, dat shit got around 300% more suggestive.

I think the fact I had an unusually high amount of hits (or higher than usual) yesterday is entirely down to a combination of BL + suggestive title. Yes. You are, therefore, perverts. Have a half-naked Haruki. You perverts ♥ >=>

Cover by T2. That's as good as it gets.

Sorry for the crappy image quality…I’ll try to get a better camera next time. Those were taken with my cell phone x,DD

Anyway, I wanted to show you the GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS Artbook by Etsu & various! It’s a compilation of illustrations from the magazine, and drawings made specifically for this book.

The book is grouped into two main parts: the first part is colored illustrations, which are again grouped into different chapters (like megane, kemonomimi, and a “24-hour”-chapter with one illustration for each hour of the day), the second part in black & white features illustrated commentary from all the artists.

I bought my copy at a store in Germany, but Amazon JP would be an option.

Besides the first chapter (which is mostly drawn by sorta-famous artists such as T2, Suzuhira Hiro, Misato Mitsumi, and less-well-known names), most of the illustrations are not very impressive. But when I bought bis book (2008-ish), it was a huge inspiration to me, and I did refer to it a lot, so it’s still a precious piece of my library to me.

Plus, it was like 40€. And when you’re like, 14, that’s a LOT of money. But was it worth it? Yes. >=>

Hey you. You know who you are.

I’m really tired so I can’t draw properly, but this is for you. Thanks for everything. You’re awesome and I love you to death ♥

Look at that marvelous cover.

Gorilla Artfare: Gorilla Artbook Vol. 1

Published by CFSL Ink in 2011
Get it on Amazon
gorillaartfare.com

Gorilla Artfare is a blog I’ve been following for a few months where different artists post their work, be it sketches, finished pieces or whatever. They’re all amazing, and this is a compilation of their works since 2008.  The book is hardcover and has 256 pages, out of 250 are filled with artworks, the rest is a list of the artists and their contact data. It’s organized with chapters revolving around different topics like comedy, romance, action etc.

But enough babbling, take a look at some pages!

The range of different styles in it is amazing, and so is the overall quality of the work. The only thing I missed was some artist commentary…maybe next volume. ♥

Also, little tip for those who are now out to get it…if you can, buy it from amazon.fr. The French version is cheaper, and since the book is billingual, you’re not gonna miss a thing.
