[ART] a r t h u r -x- k i k u

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:01:30 GMT

I started this particular drawing a month ago, but neglected it until now.
It is particularly different than most of the art I post on devArt since I usually only like to post chibis rather than this type of thing...
Although I do sketch this kind of stuff often, none ever get CG'd due to laziness. ㅎ_ㅎ

Anyway, here's the preview:

I *did* draw up some backgrounds, like a cherry blossom tree or a park with a scenic sky view, but in the end I was not satisfied with any of them. So I decided to put some generic pattern background. ㅎ_ㅎ;;;
I really stink at backgrounds, *sigh*

I'm also unhappy with other parts of the picture, but I hope to improve on them in future works. u__u

The full-size version (which is much clearer than this one) is on my deviantart: http://kejoca.deviantart.com/art/APH-A-r-t-h-u-r-X-K-i-k-u-125334610

[ART] - Ttly my Prince Charming!

What started out as a small doodle grew into this cute, fantasy-themed fanart of Lithuania x Poland.

I had a loooot of fun doing this one. I also posted the FULL SIZE version on my devArt if you're interested on commenting on it there: http://kejoca.deviantart.com/art/APH-Ttly-my-Prince-Charming-125180674

Wallpaper Dump! ㅇㅂㅇ

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 07:53:48 GMT

Over the years, I have created wallpapers for my personal use out of fanart/official art.
And while making this APH America one, I decided to share my created wallpapers with anyone who would like them.
Feel free to grab them! ^ㅇ^

note: many are in only one size since they were made a long time ago, and I no longer have the psd files. most are even in widescreen format only (since I own only widescreen monitors), so the images may seem "cut off" to you normal-sized resolution users. sorry! ㅠㅠ

APH: God Bless America! <--- (what I'm using right now)
note: added a stock flag image, edited colors, added patterns, used some lyrics from America the Beautiful

[RANT] - APH Ep. 15 English Dub - WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

Thu, 07 May 2009 05:42:48 GMT

I just watched APH Ep. 15, and GAWD, the English dubbing was HORRIBLE!

Couldn't they have just done it in Japanese as usual?
If anyone really cared about the languages of each culture, then everyone would be speaking Italian, German, Chinese, Russian, and ~~Korean~~ from the beginning.

The revolution part of the episode made me jolt out of my seat with the terrible dubbing...
I had to mute it to tolerate it...

*SIGH*
And that is my absolute favorite arc (so far), too...

So, I've never been good at anatomy (*sigh*), so I've been trying pretty hard on doing this pic.

Believe me, as it is now, it's a huge improvement from what I was doing before. xD

So here it is:

I'm not entirely fond of how everything looks (I swear it looked better in my sketchbook xD), but I guess it'll have to do for now~

I can always edit it later, eh?

Time to lineart it! >w<
