Starting off with the Sketch I made.

It took a while, but cleaned up the original line art! I also added some background colours to help make Miku match better with the background. Hmm, I'm not liking the skirt and the hair though...

New hair and new skirt folds! Now adding some color. Skin and the hair on the scalp I only used one layer -- but the others I used a LOT more.

More colours! The main part of her is all done! ...but it lacks that 'oomph'.

In addition to a background and some fancy streaks whizzing by her, I've made some colour adjustments, made the front of her glow, and the back casting a darker shadow.

Detail shots! I like to think of myself as an "anime Monet". It looks good from far away, but up close it's a mess.. But I hate seeing images in tiny resolutions, so here's some blown up parts!

But here I like posting more about the process and various other details. Literally. Enjoy!!

Aqua -- coloured and all that

The three -- I moved on before I decided to finish colouring them all

I hate the amount of time I spend drawing other people’s characters, usually it plays into why I don’t finish works. But I liked this.

Yay! New piccy. I wanted a lot of colour play for a “night time” piece. I may post a detail here. Either way, not that a “big piece” is done, may post some sketches next!

Two OCs I made up in some sort of “money shot” I guess (they’re all serious!). This was especially fun to colour, very rarely did I stick to one hue, but moved around to create something much more colour-strong. Maybe I’ll do a tutorial? Certainly might be easier and better practice to try it this way for younger artists, allows more freedom to play too. :O

Here we go.

Hello! I am Dice!! I’ve decided to start some tumblr goodness.

I’m going to be posting art, whether complete, never will be completed, and just sketches. Today I’m starting with a bit of both. My boyfriend and I have really whack schedules, usually we can only see each other at night, so naturally, we talk about sleeping and being comfy. I drew this guy to commemorate it: he’s sort of a cross between a Bunny and a Dog (Bog?). He’s friendly and cuddly! I wanted to go for a sort of storybook night, it’s not a very black sky.

Ah well, more to come.
