Aisle #31 - Do your best
I’ve been doing a bit of experimentation lately, especially now that I’m able to navigate Pixiv a bit more skillfully. I recently uploaded an old oekaki of Rabid I drew, back in 06 or something… the really creepy one where she looks like she was ripped off the cover of a creepy manga, and of course, people actually noticed it there. By request of an old friend, I drew Darling in a somewhat similar fashion, but the result is mediocre. I simply can’t be bothered to draw with Tegaki for more than a few hours. That program needs a flood fill tool, and bad.
My friend, Jennifer, and I were discussing some of the oekakis that some of the game artists do; specifically discussing the way the official Megaman artist does it, and the discussion made me realize that I’ve always wanted to draw an oekaki like that, but without the anime look. To emulate the style I’d like to try, I’d have to start using thin lines in my MS paints, and I don’t quite feel like doing that, so I won’t.
To those who have commissioned me, I haven’t forgotton you. If the Summer II semester was a person, I’d be in jail for breaking its jaw right now.
