Chibi Sesshomaru Study (image study)

This is my first attempt at chibi, and, seeing as it is a first attempt, I think it turned out pretty well.  I chose Sesshomaru as my subject because: 1) I think he's extremely awesome -.-, and 2) he has fun, flouncy clothes.  :)  His wardrobe is easily adaptable to a simple chibi form, though the detailing required to make a  more realistic image of him would take far too long for my short attention-span.

This took me about 40 minutes tops, simply due to the time spent making sure that I got the basics of his clothes right.

My personal favorite is the lower-center face.  Poor Sesshy-san. . . .he just looks so disturbed that its hilarious. >:)

Peace out, peoplz!

Itachi Study (image study)

Another Akatsuki study.  I just found these to be fun, quick posts.  :)  This particular one took me about 40 minutes.  I think I'll do Kisame or Hidan next, but I haven't decided yet.

Peace out, peoplz!

Sasori Study (image study)

Here's another Akatsuki study, this one for Sasori.  My last post contained one of Deidara, so I thought I might as well do another for his partner. :)  I probably spent about 50 minutes on this one, mostly on the hands and facial structure.  Hope it doesn't look too bad!

Peace out!

Deidara Study (image study)

Quick Deidara study.  Probably spent a half an hour on it, but I wasn't keeping track. ;)  I just felt the need to post something.

As you may have noticed, I changed the Kobalt Board's layout.  I'm rather proud of it, and I think it's much easier to read.  The black background and white text was just too much on the eyes.  

Anyways, hope you like this terribly random sketch!

Peace out, peoplz!

Quick Eye Study (image)

I'm not sure why I decided to draw this, but this is a quick 20-minute eye study.  NOTE: these eyes are meant to be slightly abstract and unrealistic as they incorporate elements of both realism and manga styles.

I'm especially pleased with the top right (direct eye-view) and the center left (three-quarter, upward-pupil.)  The latter of the two really reminds me of Kyo from  Gift of the Outcast (read it!)  I don't know why. . . Anyway, this image also features my new online KobaltWolf signature!  Woo!  This signature will probably change as time goes on, but I thought I might as well include it.

In other news, I'm almost done with the first draft of Gift of the Outcast Chapter 6 and I'm hoping to get it out by the end of the month.  No promises though!  I'm WAY too busy for my own good.

Peace out peoplz!
