I honestly can't think up a witty title right now



I woke up way too early for a saturday and couldn't get back to sleep. So I played around with my water colors some. The test subject this time was Ageha, my feudal japan rp character. She's a woman who just sort of wanders Japan with a katana and wakizashi, dressed in samurai garb. She's not really a samurai, or a ronin, though. Just a lady, wandering with a sword.

As for the paint, some things came out wonderful, others not so much. (The problem with the sword is just my inability to draw those damn things) Of course, this is way I just experiment a lot. I find out what works, what doesn't work, and how to make a decent skin tone with a very limited pallet.

So I just (and I mean, like, less then fifteen minutes ago) finished reading Christopher Moore's Coyote Blue. It was funny, like all of his work, but it missed some of that charm found with others he's written. It referenced his first book, though, and crossed over with another book that he didn't publish for about ten years after this one. And as always, his bastardization of different religions was awesome.

folds on the clothing = awesome

Thanks. I've been trying really hard to work on folds in clothes lately. Of course, these too entirely waaaay to long to draw. And once I inked it I realized that I could have saved myself a lot of time by looking at the photos of my samurai halloween costume for reference. >:O
