ShiroYasha

Takasugi from Gintama.

Apparently September 30th, 2009 was the release date for the Birth of Shiroyasha (銀魂降誕) DVD. It's 45 minutes long and includes Gin-san's past during the Joui era.

As a Gintama fangirl, i NEED this to be subbed in English *A*




To commemorate this release i took a photo of the mini poster included in the second Gintama manga guide, 銀魂五年生 (Gintama Gonensei).




From the above preview clip, i noticed Takasugi genuinely smile. First time seeing that!!! *A* But the fact that he was covered in blood and holding a bloody sword did not really contribute to his sincere smile XD

Sausage

Katsura from Gintama.

For anyone that is/has reading the recent arc (beginning at chapter 275) in the Gintama manga, they would fully understand this fanart XD One should definitely read this arc if they like cats :D

Just to explain to those whose faces might be "O___o" right now. That's a Shinsengumi sausage.
Page 12 of ch. 276 is my inspiration. 'Nuff said, cuz i don't wanna spoil the whole chapter.

The Tiger and the Ox

Tora!Gin x Ushi!Hiji from Gintama.

This drawing took me way too long. Well, it's not like i was working on it constantly. i did get sidetracked and starting reading a few yaoi titles <--that didn't help -___-;; I seriously wonder why i even procrastinate on the things i LIKE to do. I mean, isn't it enough i procrastinate at everything else in life too???

I noticed the background for this drawing is very weird. It's mainly because i couldn't decide the dimensions of the objects -___-;; That's why everything looks odd....orz.... and don't ge me started on the weird looking "hay". The sun beam doesn't make much sense either. i added that as an afterthought. I thought it would look cool; but instead it messed up with my originally planned light source. I found out that sun beams can make anything dramatic, anything.


So a little about my recent life. Couple of weeks ago i saw Ponyo in theatres with friends. i think this may be the fastest Ghibli film to ever reach North American shores; only took them a little over a year..... I'm going save my full fangasm rant for Ghibli films on a separate and upcoming entry.
Also, finally saw Harrry Potter and the Half-blood Prince on the same day (first time seeing two movies in a day). It was as disappointing as people said it was. But then again, the sixth blood was a transition book to the seventh. I didn't much like the sixth book anyways.

Alas, my friend and i have the time/chance to go see Inglourious Basterds tomorrow. I hope it's as good as they say it is :D

HijItou

A sketch of Hijikata and Itou from Gintama.

This is a request from Yuzuki-san. She wanted HijiXItou. This is suppose to be dramatic, but i don't find it dramatic enough..orz.... i don't think i can draw dramatic. i'm just not filled with enough seriousness and angst <--- there dashes away my hope of ever becoming an artist XD

This will be coloured later...don't exactly know when...but at least you know i did something, right? ^____^;;;

i've just realized, out of all the Gintama characters, i have drawn Hijikata-kun the most O___o Even, technically, Gin-san is my fave, but Hijikata-kun is an extremely close second. I blame it on Gin-san's difficult hair.

Gift Arts

A very cute GinHiji (Gintama) one page doujin i got from Hacker Tsubaki a good friend's younger sister ^__^.

Got it because i brought doujins for her when i went to Japan. Technically, she still owns me one more :P But i don't mind haha~ I know how it is taking request for fanart when one has never read/watch the series. i know i hate it. i need to get a feel for a character because i drew the fanart -___-;; <---i'm a failure this way...orz....

Anyways, in this entry, you don't have to suffer by looking at my craptistic art skills, instead you get to see all the awesome art gifts i've received. So feast your eyes on the wonderful art!! (no...this is not a lazy attempt at updating my journal without me drawing anything >.> )

Birthday Gifts:

Sexy Gin-chan by Berry
This is seriously a very delicious Gin-san she drew for me *A* Makes my mind wander.....*nosebleed*

Gin-san X Zura X Gin-chan?
i took a photo of two gifts together. The pencil on canvas is drawn by Vanilla Rain. I have the canvas wrapped in saran wrap in my room XD
The plushie was made by my good friend, Lachrymosity. This year Lachry-san made me the Medicine Seller from Mononoke. (i really recommend watching that anime for the visuals and stories)

Cookie Rocket (Ely) By Nimmo Don't really know what this one is for, but i love it!! :D

Art Trades:

(NSFW) SilverSoul: GinToshi by Mashi-Tsushiro
What i drew in return was ToshiPachi: Mashi
I still think that Hijikata X Shinpachi is a weird pairing...O___o But i was mystified the first time she mentioned that pairing, but i was even more mystified when i saw a doujin of this pairing at Mandarake. I just stood there staring at that doujin with my mouth half-opened for a while.

Silver Soul Secret Santa Pic by Skart2005 lol, you probably could have guessed i requested a Ushi!Hiji and Tora!Gin ;P Sexy and cute rolled into one~~~ *hehehe*


For anyone that's wondering, i do do art trades and requests, but it really depends on my interests -___-;; Nonetheless, i welcome them! ^____^
