Wow that sounds pretty important Kasanip. Go get it done and score well! :smallbiggrin:
Good luck with your test! :smallcool:
Good luck kasanip! I'm sure you're going to ace it, you're used to write stories and proses in RP already after all. I never took TOEIC test, but I took TOEFL tests, and I think getting used to using and hearing the language is more useful than knowing the theories.
Hey Kasanip, do you still have my anime picture of my avatar? I was wondering if I could add it to my photobucket so I can keep track of it.:smallsmile:
I found it with a quick Google.

Also: You've got this, Kasanip! Good luck! :smallsmile:
I used "silverraptor" umbrellako in an image search.
Hello everyone! It is a long time, no see. :smallredface:
Thank you everyone for warm support and messages.
Finally examinations have been finished! It was a vacation because of TOEIC test, but after such a test, it was final examinations time for school semester.
TOEIC result can be known on 23rd or 24th of July, so it is a waiting time with worried nervousness.
How are you?
It can be said because of examinations, only a little drawing could be made.

Continuing, squirrel cannot be drawn. Of course, of month vacation of trying to draw, it can be understood.

Character design
Spoiler
Trying to design new character for a game, many ideas were tried. Final design can be seen color.
It wasn't thought, but to use Kamome-like hair color again.
お帰り、カサちゃん! We missed you! :smallbiggrin:
I'm sure you'll do just fine on your TOEIC test, so don't worry about it! There's still a week or so to go before you know your results anyway, so don't be too concerned about it for now, and enjoy the time while you can. :smallwink:
Who's the new character? :smallsmile:
Dat Victorian-era hat
Good to see you again, rock that TOEIC!
Great to see you back Kasanip! :smallbiggrin: I'd say don't worry too much about waiting for the results of the TOEIC and just do the things you love to take your mind off it. :smallsmile:
Your sketches are as great as always. I recognize Non and Mystletinn quite well.
Thank you! Everyone was missed, too. :smallredface:
New character is being made for [dieselpunk] game.
She is [Dream Hunter] (夢使い), member of [BA9 Organization] (I like pun, but maybe it cannot translate for English). Such organization is to protect [Reverse World] and [Mortal World]. But usually she is a student at Magical Academy. Her power uses [Lunar Veil] clothes, [Dream Gloves] and ability of shadow magic. Maybe a little like [Shadowdancer] class.
It can be seen a little in sketch different ideas.
Originally character making was [S-Rank Thief] who was cursed by [mummy] to youth. It was inspired by [White Fox] character from Fri's 2011 game. However, already there are [adventurer] and [magic curse] character. Maybe it was similar to Eris, too.
Appearance was decided, but she cannot be related to other player characters somehow. Unfortunately the game theme wasn't approached properly by me, so probably concept can't be used.
Thank you! I don't know if it is Victorian-era hat. It was seen for old uniform designs, and it was cute.
However, time period of game is supposed to be [Dieselpunk], so perhaps that is such a similar period. Of character, she is such an [old-fashioned] type, probably. Or thinks such a hat is cute.
I think of designing characters, always there must be one accessory to make character appear more interesting. Also it is easy to explain "why is such OO valuable treasure?"
Often it is chosen the head for me. For example Kamome (goggle headset), Eris (accessories), Non (bow ponytail), Mystletinn (compass rose sword seal), Yfa Keter Ain (Cat Ear and Radio).
Even old characters like Tomoya (forehead seal), Hazuki (三角頭巾) and Momo (hair clip).
Maybe unusual exception is Mir. However, [artifact] is [book], so it is important for that game. :smallredface:
Thank you!
Yes, Non and Mystletinn are easy to recognize in Bukiya Inn uniform. Such happy-go-lucky pair were very fun to play.
After long vacation it is difficult to return to forum habits. :smallredface:
Glad to have you back, Kasanip! It's always a pleasure to see your new character designs.
I hope you did well on your exams!
Nicely sketched :smallsmile:, though the music isn't available in the USA. :smallfrown:
The little bubble things on the squirrel's face just below the eyes look rather strange.
A nicely drawn Momiji.
This music doesn't work either. :smallfrown:
Ooooo, some color! Did you sketch these at this small resolution or shrink them to fit? If you shrunk them, it would be nice to see them bigger. :smallsmile:
Thank you! :smallredface: I like to design characters.
Thank you! Sorry, it can't be known region's situation. Please try another link: It is cover of the song of 『ナユタ』
Fundamentally squirrel is strange. It is deplorable. :smallfrown:Quote:

It can be listened to this song 『気分上々↑↑』Quote:

They were not sketched at such a size. They are shown below. :smallredface:Quote:

It can be seen design was too [SF].
Thief

Such an S-Rank thief. However, does not approach theme of game.

It is not theme of game, and clothing style is incorrect. However, some design is liked.

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...ps038ba46d.jpg
Somehow reminds of Tsukumonogatari characters. It can be said it is not theme of game. However, some usual design idea can be seen.

It became close to theme. However, it became too heavy. To play such a style is too overreach.
Glad to see you back, kasanip! I want to draw you some picture, but apparently, after not being used for a year, my graphic tablet broke...
I really like your work. There is something very light and floaty about the japanese drawing esthetic when done right that I really enjoy but could never really pull off myself. You've got some really excellent fundementals :)
Looking back at your first art thread you've also made some great leaps and bounds in your line values as well as the physical precense and organic perspective of your characters. I too would like to see some more color work from you, but if there's no time for that, this being sketchbook thing, that's completely understandable :)
Thank you, Fri! Someday soon I would like to see Fri's drawing again. :smallsmile:
Thank you very much! Receiving Jotunheim's compliments about these unskillful scribble makes me happy. :smallredface: I want to paint color. However, there was no time and energy recently. If the mood is bad, color cannot be used.

Finally the results of TOEIC test came.
http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6fa6e17a.jpg
The ranking of Blue was achieved, with score of 760 points, so it was just barely achieved!
I am very happy, because such a score is necessary to become an English Teacher. So, my future dream can be realized! :smallsmile::smallsmile:
It can be said that such a difficult goal was chased by me for a long time. There were many suffering days and times, and to experience somehow internationally with OOTS friends those moments of recent years.
Somehow, this [sketchbook] is more like [diary] after this fashion. However, maybe paint and sketch of emotions, it is such a record of happiness and sadness and pain and hope. Can such a record of changing [child] to [adult] be read in this fashion?
It is a pensive thought. Of course there are a lot of mistakes, and I am embarrassed.:smallredface:
However, there is a lot of pride for me, too.
It must be said, such achievement could not happen without the time of OOTS, and support and help of OOTS friends. Thank you very much for your always support. :smallsmile:
Now it is a summer vacation. After with all of my heart studying during June and examinations of July, there was no taking it easy. Listening leisurely to fan humming and cicada crying and staring at the four walls. Suddenly pen of the tablet became too heavy to hold properly.

Hooray! I'm glad that things turned out well for you after all of your hard work. お疲れ様でした! :smallbiggrin:
I really like that colored sketch. It's like I can feel a weight lifting off my own shoulders just looking at it.
That's great news, Kasanip! 780 is a good score! I never took TOEIC personally, but I took TOEFL, so I knew that you must be able to do it, with how your english is here! Hopefully, you be a good english teacher!
And is that a picture of evasion skill from DnD? That reminds me, do you know that if you're lucky you can evade a fireball explosion even if you're in a box? Haha, I wonder how can it be visualized.
Congratulations Kasanip! Such a test must have been exhausting so I'm sure you'll have brighter things to look into in the future :smallbiggrin:
Wonderful job with the colored drawing as well.
Good job on your exam :smallsmile:
Lucina needs her sword :smalltongue:
Is the bottom right character on untitled sketches, Priam from awakening?
Congratulations, Kasanip. Sounds like the tests shows how amazing you are. Hope being a teacher will be fun. ^_^
Very much like the sketches. They show the movement and emotions of the characters very well and look very well done. Particularly the final piece is very impressive. Love how the colouring is used. :smallsmile:
Congratulations on your successful examination.
Happy teaching.
おめでとう、カサちゃん!Your efforts over the last few years will give you a bright future to look forward to, I'm sure. :smallwink:
You know, I have been thinking this for a while. Your sketches have a certain familiar style to them; have you thought about joining Studio Ghibli? :smallbiggrin:
Pretty good, but there's that odd bit above the nose that sort of looks like another nose almost. I'd also recommend using darker lines to make the hair more distinct so it stands out against the domino mask.
Very nice hair on this one. :smallsmile: Her right hand seems a bit undefined though. Perhaps draw the other fingerless glove here since her fingers could be curled back?
Pretty good for small sketches; is that Saria from the Zelda universe I spy there? :smallcool:
Probably the best black/white sketch in this batch; I can't think of anything to recommend besides adding more background things. :smallbiggrin:
Her legs seem to be a bit twisted, and the left leg seems like it's being almost squished into itself.
Hooray! Nicely done. :smallcool:
Your english here seems a bit rough, but it's pretty good. Also, those cicadas sound a bit harsh; I like the sound of rain. If it loads, here's a looping version of the rain link with a nice song as well.
Congratulations, Kasanip!
