Secondlina's Panels

I drew a little Black and White fan comic of "Princess Tutu" for the Deviant art community. It's actually for a contest. The contest is about pretending the characters are actors. It's a "Behind the scenes" type of thing. I though it would be amusing to see characters stuck portraying fairy tales falling in love with said fairy tales. Also, books - distracting!

Mr. Cat is a guy in a suit.

This reminded me that I love, LOVE drawing contests. Ever since I was a kid. I just love having a theme or something. It's fun. Plus you get to see all the different ideas everybody has from the same starting point... It's so cool. Not to mention I would win once in a while. I even won a LIZARD once. He was my first (and only) pet. He was called Leon. My mother hated him XD

WEEKEND IS HERE *escapes tech support customers*

 Comic actually contains spoilers for Watchmen. (Believe it or not.)

I think this is hilarious. 





Also, more concept sketches for the Slayers Steampunk. I love how this one could be one of those old photographs of people in front of a clock! Maybe i'll color it that way!



I'm debating about Gourry's hair. Should I cut it?

Banner status report - 3 banners are in the works, my own, earthstar_chan  's and the_flowergirl  's. My own is in the process to be colored. Earthstar's is inked and flowergirl as concept sketches done :)

Yes, yes, more Slayers. I got my boxsets of the series in the mail this week and well... That's all I watch so... Slayers obsession for now. speaking of the first seasons though; woah, did the 80's hit that hard or WHAT? Hello, weird colors and animation.

The next post will most likely be back to normal lol.

My computer still has a virus. I know where the virus is, what it does and I tried deleting it a bunch of times and it's still there. May it be cursed.

So, these comic pages are dedicated to dqbunny (some kind of xmas-birthday thing) because I owe her a drawing and that these comics are based on a fanfic she wrote, altered in image by yours truly. I promise i'll finish and send all my xmas-slash-birthday drawings one day. Life is hard with two jobs, no more time to draw (woe.)

Onwards, to the funny comic!

(still no LJ cut because Lj is STILL a BIATCH@!)







So there you have it, a little comic about Gourry daydreaming. Before you all ask -
He wants to remain seated because of emotional and physical "trauma" due to having a pleasant dream interrupted by an angry orange blur.
Dream-Lina doesn't talk because I figured Gourry would not know what she would say in reality in that situation, so he can't imaging it.
I love naked-lina panel. Horray, random dream-nakeness.
Pocota was fun to draw.

So, i'm back from the anime con. I went to the con with Fauve and her fiancé. After we went to Winterlude (basically a giant-winter festival complete with giant ice-slides, ice palaces, outdoor food, concerts and parades that lasts 2 weeks) since one of the parks that hosts Winterlude (there is 4 or so) is right in front of my house (and I mean, I cross the street and i'm there.)

We agreed that Winterlude was a lot more fun and cheaper then the con. The con had a pretty high entrance price and was small and somewhat odd. All three of us felt old and out of place since all the anime fans were about 16 to 18 years old and all the anime samplings playing were all these really new series we had never heard about (and frankly, they were WEIRD and contained a lot of pretty girls in small amounts of clothing). I much prefer Anime North. I'm not surprise that the con is small since it's the first year. I'm actually quite fine with it. The reason why I PREFER Anime North is because most of the con-goers there are more in our age group (18 to 26) so we feel less like... well, overgrown geeks.

The costumes were good though and the con people at least get an A for effort for trying to create a new con. It's hard work. I enjoyed their "Manga-librairy" where you could borrow for an hour a manga and read it and therefore sample some new series. Great idea.

Winterlude was awesome though. I love the ice sculptures and the slides. And the Beaver Tails. Oh yes, sugar baby, sugar.

All I have for your guys as a comic today is a drawing of a Slayers Novels Scene. Enjoy it!






Sorry about the lack of Lj-cut...but they won't work today for some reason! I curse them!

A strange coincidence came up today. A friend asked me to draw an inuyasha fanart. After I finished drawing the said fanart, I discovered that a very talented inuyasha fanart artist I adore has an LJ and is actually friends with savvyliterate...Woah! Was I surprise or what? 

The fanart in question is a Adult shippou/human kirara fanart. It's a bit of a strange fandom, I have to say but who am I to judge? Not to mention it gives me a great liberty in the character designing of the two fanshipped characters.

Things have changed a bit around here. I switched the colors again. My hair is pinkish once more, so I decided to go for a goth pink look ^^ I'm also trying to change my mood theme for a Work creature mood theme. It's kinda long, but i'll get it down eventually.

I finished another short story for the doujin. only 4 left! Mwahahaha! Soon it shall be done!
The story I just finished is the only serious and pencil-drawn one of the book. It's very dramatic and I LOVE IT SO!!!
Garanteed to make ichiban_victory cry.  Here's one of the final panels...


I drew that story lisening to Darkroom by Sarah Slean and My Weakness by Moby. Download those songs. They are so beautiful!

I started my first drawing class today. The teaching looks nice. She's a super cute asian girl ^^

(p.s : Watch out Bunneh, possible plotbunny attacks. Rabid.)

Well, i'm currently going through all my slayers crap (*picture Isa in front of giant pile of paper*) and I found a few loose sketches of Lina and Gourry. I rather like these sketches. They are in a bit of a non-anime style. I'm suprise at the number of times I used the characters to test out different styles. 

I'm wondering about a few things about the doujinshi. For those interested: here is the news:

completion status: 20%
Title: Slayers Clone (thanks Earthstar!)

I'm also wondering about this: I have a lot of material but most of it is drawings and sketches...So I was thinking of divinding the comics into two sets and adding a gallery to the book. Then i'de have two doujins rather then one.  (Slayers Clone and Slayers Copy). Aside from that, I'm also thinking of reprinting my older doujins created especially for Ichiban (Home and Poem). Those two have Amelia as a hero and are Zel/amelia canon. The Clone book(s) are both touching canon and fanon couples since I,m open to both so some jokes might be Lina/Gourry when others can be say Lina/Zelgadiss for instance)

I've also found the idea for the dramatic comic I'm going to add. I wanted to do a while back a wordless comic and just use the drawings to express emotions. So I decided to do an 8 page comic called "There are no words" based about the old "Goodbye Gourry" series of drawings. "There are no words" is about Lina coping with the death of her friends. 

So in the end, i'de like people's opinions about if I should do two doujins rather then one and hence add more material to it.

About the price as well...I've learned it would cost me between 7 to 10$ to photocopie and bind all the pages (about 50) so I will most likely charge people 20$ for the comic, plus shipping expenses. I hope it's not to much. I'de also like people's opinions about the price. It won't be a cheap book people, trust me. 

Here's the possible list of the contents:
(it's still just a draft)
Slayers Clone (Lina/ Gourry cover) / Slayers Copy (Zel/amelia cover)
Chibi Zel/amelia inside cover / Chibi Lina/Gourry cover

In another subject, someone raised hell in my photobucket acocunt. I suspect the flamers. I really don't want to make this journal friends only, because most of my friends who pass by here do not have a journal! I don't know what to do to keep these freaks from...doing this!

And I don't want to close doing site again...

and now without delay, pictures!
