Ahri

Ahri print I made for a Copic contest. It won the first place :)

This is a digital version of the Copic original.

Comic-Con: Update!

Oh my! I haven't updated the blog in a while!

So, last week I went to Comic-Con, just like last year.

The best day was Saturday, on Friday and Sunday there weren't many people around, but business was still good :)

I met some awesome people, and I was very glad to be visited by some of my watchers!

I'll post a print I was selling at the convention soon!

Mami

 Here's Mami from Madoka Magica :)

 It's another watercolour postcard.

Madoka

Another member from the series I've been painting- Madoka.

Sayaka

 Hello!

Sorry for the delay. I've been a bit busy lately ^_^; 

Here's another watercolour postcard- it's Sayaka from Madoka Magica.

Homura- chan

 Watercolour postcard of Homura from Madoka Magica.

 Hope you like it!

Dot exercise

Recently, I got this assignment in Arts class, in which I had to draw a tree in an A3 sized paper and use dots to render half of it, in graphite.

 Stimulating, right?

 After spending 3 hours making dots, I started to wonder if there was a way I could speed up the process of making so many dots... maybe replace the needle in a sewing machine with a pencil? (Not a good idea!)

After coming up with a few ideas and testing what worked and what didn't work, I decided to try this cordless jig-saw machine:

 Then, I taped a short pencil to the blade:

 And dot away!

 This worked really nicely, and I was able to finish the work in 2~3 hours, instead of the 5~6 hours it would take if I had made it by hand.

 Here's the final result (note that half of it was rendered with dots, and the rest with lines and mesh):

 I think I might use this again in future works :)

WIP- Palutena

Aaaaand, it's finished!

 I've wanted to draw Palutena ever since I saw her action figure in a games' store, so here it is!

 It's A3 sized and everything was made with markers.

Hope you like it!

Kyoukai no Kanata- Akihito

Akihito postcard from Kyoukai no Kanata :)

I just love this character x)

Kyoukai no Kanata- Mirai

 Mirai postcard from Kyoukai no Kanata :)

Salley Gardens

 After a month, I could finally finish this! I'm so happy *single tear*

It's my very first comic/storyboard and you can check it here.

It's an illustration of an Irish folk song called Salley Gardens.

Hope you like it ^_^

Portrait commissions

Here's one of the commissions I've done:D

The dimension of the chibi portrait is A5 and the other one is A3. t's what I call a "Character mix portrait", because the person is portraied with the clothes of a fictional character (in this case, Khaleesi's clothes, from Game of Thrones).

Got new stuff coming soon!

Ao no Exorcist

Cover

 Here's an Ao no Exorcist postcard!

 Hope you like it :)

Made with watercolours.

Zelda postcard

Cover

 Here's another watercolour postcard :)

Constructive critiques are very welcome!

Jude and Milla

 Jude and Milla dancing! I thought it suited the characters :)

 I have to say this painting didn't really turn out as I wanted it to, because I tried to make a bit of lineart, but the colour I chose was too dark for this and it wasn't necessary.

 I think the shadows are good and I particularly like how Jude's hair turned out, though.

Constructive critiques are always welcome!

I'll protect you

I'm currently playing Tales of Xillia and it's such a great game, I decided to draw some of the game's characters.

Here's Alvin taking care of little Elise :3
Elise was running away from the Exodus's guys and Alvin took care of them.

Made with Markers.

I'll paint Milla and Jude next.

Hetalial- Germany

 Here's the illustration of my latest postcard :D

Materials:
- "Academy" watercolors
- "Winsor & Newton" drawing inks
- "Stabilo" colored pens

Postcard cover

 Here's my latest project- a postcard :)
 I did it for fun, but to be honest I don't really like the outcome of the illustration. I'll do another one... maybe a watercolor.

 Here's a fast painting for Arts class. It took me an hour and a half to make, and I had fun, because it's good to make something simpler once in a while :)

 It has a video tutorial with the painting process.

 Hope you like it! 

Fairies' Cathedral

 This is a personal artwork :D It has a lot of symbols, and I'd love to know your interpretations!

 It was the first time I used markers on an A3 sized paper. I discovered it's easier to blend the colours on a heavier paper than on the lighter one I usually work with.
 However, this didn't turn out like I wanted it to... well, practice makes perfect!

  The small comic is still on the way, because I took a break to make this. I like to make a few projects simultaneously, because it helps me keep my vision fresh :)

 It might take a while to upload the comic, since it's a very big project (even bigger than "Final Battle". That one took me 3 months to complete with no in between artworks!). 

Meanwhile, more projects will be created!

Decim Postcard

 Le hand-made postcard!

 Here's a week worth of work. It was the first time I ever made a paper cut this complex... I had so much fun :D

 The postcard is up for sale!

 Commissions are also open!

WIP- comic

 Work in progress of the comic I'm currently making.

 This will take a while to complete ^_^;

New Account

 Here's a random sketch and my new DeviantArt account: http://nonoca.deviantart.com/

 The old one will be deactivated soon!

A reference tutorial is on the way!

Final Battle

 Yayyy!! After 3 months, I could finally finish this painting.

I had been wanting to make a painting with a lot of details for a while, and thought that remaking an old work would be a good idea.

The hardest part of this was rendering Demise's arm. I had to do all the scales one by one and that really took a lot of time, but I believe it was worth it.

Here's the old painting, for you to compare:

 This painting was made in December of 2012, and the most recent is from today, 18th February 2015 (started it in December of 2014).
 Constructive critiques are always welcome! :D

(Late) Happy New Year!!!

 Hello and Happy New Year to you! :D

Here's something I've been working on recently. I'm redoing a painting I did two years ago to compare and see if there's any improvement.
I'm also working on an anatomy tutorial I promised on Facebook, for when I reached 50 likes on the page (it's going on 60 likes now, gotta hurry up ^_^; ).

I'll be absent for a bit here on the blog, because I've got a bunch of work to do, but I'll post new stuff as soon as I can :D

Meanwhile, I'm looking for support to help me get to more conventions. You can support me, if you wish, by donating on Patreon!

Thanks for reading!!
