Mary Cocoa drew Aleczan and Haurchefant

I received a chibi pic of my character (nicknamed “Purple Cat” by the girls in Catketeers FC on Tonberry) from Mary Cocoa yesterday. It’s so funny and is extremely adorable. XD

I feel it is an amazingly accurate fanart which depicts me when I meet Lord Haurchefant in the game. One of the reasons being that I’m such a HUGE fan of him and always spend an hour taking screenshots when he appears outside of a cutscene. During my second playthrough of Main Story, using my secondary character which I created on Tonberry, I took every opportunity I could and took a lot of pics with him.

Mary’s art is what I would also imagine Haurchefant to react when I’m all over him like that. XD LOL Mary is lovely and funny. Thank you so much for the pic. ♥

Tenpe and Rin

Made a pic of G’Tenpe Tia and Rin’a Fortemps, which are my friend and his waifu (on Ragnarok).

I downloaded a Foliage brush set (by Chromatic Skies) from deviant art, and used an in-app Cherry Petals brush. Then I made Sakura blossoms brush especially for this pic. I also used a lot of downloaded brushes, like a Cloud brush, from official Clip Studio Paint website.

A zoomed-in and cropped pic without Tenpe’s glasses, just to show off the wrinkles detail. :P

It’s been a helluva week for me working on this piece of art. It was incredibly entertaining and challenging. One minute I’m enjoying brushing the colors like mad, the next minute I’m cursing Tenpe’s wrinkles and his shoulder pieces LOL. I took the liberty in making up the details of left shoulder piece on my own because in-game screenshots and Tenpe’s stance angle in this pic didn’t quite help. And the sword was a tough nut. They came out better than I had imagined, though.

Thank you two for being the inspiration and motivation. I’ve had some break-through in coloring techniques while working on this picture. Most of all, I had a load of fun doing it.

After dinner, I realized that even with the saturation adjustment, my sakura blossoms still look very much like blotches of neon colors. So I made a new brush and redid the sakura trees to correct that.

Here’s the newest revision, and hopefully the last!

There’s a shy person who’s reading my blog and has recently contacted me on tumblr as an anonymous, and then sent me this gorgeous, wonderful, fabulous fanart of my character, Aleczan.

And -HERE- is a link to the tumblr post where I was screaming thanks to the anon. I can’t express how much I love this fanart. My heart is so swelled right now.

Again, I’m really happy and honored to have received this pic. Thank you, Shy Anon, it means so much, both the pic and your kind words of support.

Now, it’s breakfast time so I have to regretfully end my entry here for today. Let me go kicking gleefully and dancing and singing praises to this beautiful artwork on my way to the kitchen. <33333333333333 Really, really love it.
