Woo. I'm very happy for you. Since you're asking for requests, maybe I will give you one?

It's good to have you back and to hear that you've got a new pen for your tablet. Even if it came in the middle of the winter, which is colder in Japan than here as far as I can tell.
Also, I might actually have a request this time. It would be a larger work since it would be a group picture with five characters on it, though.
Maybe it is something easy, however here is such a sketch of Madeline. :smallredface:
Spoiler
Thank you very much. Probably more they should be sketched. :smallredface:
Please ask freely. :smallsmile:
Thank you very much! I hope to see Fri sketch again soon.
Thank you! Please ask freely. :smallsmile:
Thank you! Yes, it seems new character recently are only few. Fight for your exam! :smallsmile:
Hm... y'know, I'm kinda curious what a GenCrawl Gaiden style character would look like, if done by you. (The whole silhouetted with glowy eyes and informing lighting deal.) :smallsmile:
There's something adorable about the way you draw. Maybe this will help in figuring out what makes it work! I have to know~! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
Requests eh...
:smallamused:
Then I will request a drawing of Rosenberg. You are free to portray him as you feel.
Thank you for the offer of taking requests, then. I think I will give you one then, though you should of course feel under no pressure to draw it if you don't feel like it. It's of the characters in my Legends of the Wulin game, though unlike most wuxia, it's set in the modern day. There are five characters, however. I'll just describe them one by one.
Spoiler: CharactersMiyako: Miyako is the ordinary girl. A slender teenage girl of average height with long, black hair she wears a fairly ordinary school uniform. She's probably got a fairly serious expression too, at least she tends to be the most serious of the bunch. She does, however, carry at least one combat knife and an unknown number of throwing knives to break her ordinary image.
Julia: Unlike Miyako, Julia definitely isn't an ordinary girl. A tall, athletic girl with long, blond hair she has a number of features common to wolves, including fangs, dull, yellow eyes, thick furlike hair and even the classic ears and tails of a wolf-girl. She dresses in the softer kind of punk with things such as tartan skirts, fitted tees with the anarchy symbol and similar, along with military boots. And she carries both a European saber and a wakizashi. She also usually looks either overly cheerful or vaguely confused and stupid if there isn't a specific cause for any other expression.
Asuka: A rather small, somewhat cruel and unpleasant looking girl with long hair in a ponytail, a red newsboy cap and the same uniform as Miyako. She also wears a long coat covered in pockets tied around the waist.
Hakufu: A giant, delinquent girl with short, messy tiger striped hair who tends to look overly excited about whatever she's doing at a given moment. She dresses in the classic costume of delinquent kids with chest wrappings and a long, open coat hanging from the shoulders rather than actually getting worn.
Fujiko: Physically rather average, Fujiko is a miko who wears what an NPC called the "third-most scandalous miko outfit this year", which is to say a rather revealing version of the classic uniform. Her expression would probably follow suit for that flirtiness, even though she's ultimately fairly conservative in most other regards and confuses her religions by carrying a shakujo.
I sent you a PM with my request, Kasanip. Hope it's okay!
Always interested to see how others interpret my characters. Can you do Onore, from Godhood?
What the heck, if you're looking for requests to practice on then I might as well ask. If you have the chance or it seems interesting, can you please have a go at my Legends of the Wulin character, Verdant Glade?
SpoilerShe's a tall, strong-looking seventeen-year-old girl, half-Chinese and half-Indian, with dark skin, bright green eyes, and dyed green hair either braided or in a ponytail. She looks and acts kind of like a mix between Korra and Sasha. She fights with a jian, and dresses fairly practically, probably in black combat pants, boots, fingerless combat gloves, and a green silk shirt. She always has many snacks hidden on her, so she definitely needs to have pockets! She uses the Wood element and gardens as a hobby, so her clothes might have floral patterns, or she might have actual flowers on her. She's lighthearted character, so both cool action and silly antics (especially involving food) are suitable.
By the way, I'm not only requesting this character because Fri's already drawn her and so it's a chance to pit the two of you against each other in some sort of artistic deathmatch. That's just a bonus.
It is very different from normal style. I'm sorry, I don't know characters of this comic. If it is designed by Kasanip, maybe this kind of feeling? :smallredface:
Sorry, description of Rosenberg could not be found by me, so only it could be seen sketch of TechnOkami. Somehow [cloak] became drawn. Maybe druid is this kind of feeling? :smallredface:
Such an [armor] hasn't been drawn for long time. :smallredface: I became lazy to draw legs.
Terraoblivion, Tengu_temp and kamikasei: I will study and draw these request next!
I am jealous Fri, Terraoblivion and Tengu_temp are playing game together! :smallredface:
*pat pat*
It's a fun game. We could always take an extra player, I think! Though you would have to learn the system.
Good stuff! If I might offer some constructive criticism, though?
You combined a stylized "anime open-mouthed" look with lips, which looks rather odd without also including teeth, which in turn makes Onore's entire face look just a bit uncanny.
Also, the pose you used is overall quite strong (with the stably spread legs, hand on sword, and armored palm out as if to push a foe backward), but you drew Onore's feet facing each other. This isn't uncanny, but it does give a pigeon-toed look that many people associate with nervousness and fear, which undermines the emotional strength of the piece somewhat.
All that said, it is good and your art is clearly leagues ahead of the scribbles I draw. :smallredface::smallsmile:
I really like the shadow girl. She looks both quite stylish and quite cute. I also like the armor, but in general, I've found armor is something you do quite well so that's less surprising. And the final grumpy sketch is just adorable.
Also, like Tengu, I'd be fine with another player if everyone else is and you learn the system.
I am happy it is liked. Usually this western style of sketch isn't done by me, so it was a little nervous. :smallredface:
I am happy it was liked, however it was very poorly sketched. Sorry! Maybe I will try again sometime.
Thank you for criticism and advice. It is strange to hear it is said [anime open mouth] because it was tried TechnOkami and HalfTangible requests in western cartoon style. Problem of the face is strange nose and eyes, I think. Usual way is small nose and large eyes. Long nose looks very strange to me, I think. :smallredface:
Yes it is known body and of legs especially was very poor. Probably such a sketch shouldn't have been shown because it was very lazy. Such is also a problem of absence of drawing. :smallfrown:
It is early, but sketch was made to show face, maybe it is more usual my way.
Thank you for kind words. If such a system can be easily learned, of course I want to try! However, I must finish sketch requests, too. :smallredface:
Ah, I could see that too. Most western animation styles I'm familiar with tend to have disproportionately large mouths, so the smaller proportion of mouth size to head size might have thrown my interpretation off. :smallredface:
And actually, the Body and Legs overall are excellently done; what I was talking about was the feet in particular. If they were pointing in the same direction or opposite directions, they'd reinforce the strong stance that the rest of the picture takes. Instead, though, they're pointing at each other, which is usually a sign of submission or unsureness and seems at odds with the rest of the image.
The head-and-shoulders detail looks very nice, though! I like the sunburst-flower by her ear: It blends into the hair, but it provides enough visual "weight" to keep the eyes toward the center of the image instead of drifting off to the left. :smallsmile:
Those are all wonderful Kasanip. :smallsmile: ...If it isn't too much to ask and if you find time, any way you may be able to draw Garxin's human form please? I've got the description right here if it helps. You can draw him in any style you prefer if you feel like drawing him.
Spoiler: Character DescriptionIn human form, Garxin stands at 6' 3'' tall with a broad build and tanned skin color. He has short brown hair, fierce blue eyes and sharp, rough features on his face. Often his look is like that of a focused and analytical man in his early thirties, not one to show emotion easily but not one without emotion either.
Among his clothing is a simple but efficient travel cloak of red-ish browns and dark blues that made up the colors of the town he was once from. It's quality represents that it was newly made for the lich to wear. In contrast is the cape and robe of similar colors he has kept since his human days. Old for over 100 years it has waned and aged to a good degree, kept intact by his magic. The cape is tattered in numerous areas. He prefers to simply wear his travel cloak at all times but had found himself wearing the cape and robe underneath the cloak during the days he reminisces about the town he had once lived in. On Garxin's right hand is a diamond bracelet which is the last and most cherished gift he has kept from his deceased wife.
If I can ask a random question, Kasanip... is there any art you've done which you're particularly proud of? What would you consider your best work?
Hello everyone, sorry it became slow post again. Suddenly it became the time of final examinations, so I became busy. :smallredface:
TerraOblivion: Asumiya
Spoiler
I'm sorry, there was only a little time recently, so it was chosen only 2 characters. Maybe more can be drawn later.
kamikasei: Verdant Glade
Other sketch (sorry, it was not request!)
Spoiler
Trying to think about a certain character Api-Niyap, it became something like this.

Eris!
http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...ps36c93cdf.jpg
Maybe it is difficult to choose. However, maybe of proud it is some of this kind of picture. For long viewers and friends, maybe it is a little nostalgic. :smallredface: Sorry it is long.

That's Miyako and Asuka, right? Pretty great.KorraGlade is pretty great too. Looking forward to seeing Cricket! Even though these are all Legend of the Wulin characters, they're actually from three different games.
Seeing all the Mecha Sky Pirates pictures makes me feel nostalgic for that game. I feel bad for having to end it.
That's pretty damn awesome. I especially love Asuka's pose, but both their expressions are pretty nice too and fit them very well. And holding several knives like that is most certainly something Miyako would do in a tense battle.
I also really like the picture of Glade, it looks very powerful and dynamic. I imagine she'll face someone in the direction of the audience next from the look of it.
I agree, your work has developed a really good sense of motion and action.
By the way, Fri's take on the character, which I mentioned earlier, is here.
Hello everyone. 2014 came so fast.
2013 was a busy year. School became busy and examinations. Maybe happiest time was to make a good result of TOEIC test, so I can become a teacher. However, I must study hard to finish examinations in March.
Sorry to disappear many times! m(_ _)m. Even if it was no post, always it was being thought about OOTS friends.
I want 2014 to be a good year. However, it will be busy. Suddenly I have to become adult!
This year I want to draw very much. However, it is known it is only a small hobby. There haven't been inspiration for drawing so much, because not participating in so many TRPG. New Year was very busy, and I participated with many friends.
I don't want to be like a shadow like last year. Thank you very much for your friendship and always support comments. 今年もよろしくお願いいたします! :smallredface: :smallsmile:
It is seen New Year's picture from 2013 because one could not be finished for this post. This year is horse, but animals cannot be drawn by me. Somehow I have become worse, I think. :smallredface:
However, it was wanted to show something, so it was a few lazy new year sketches:
I will try to finish other request pictures soon. Sorry for the trouble! m(_ _)m
