Ah, why not. ^__^ I've been drawing like crazy these days, so I figured I might as well just post a few of my visual rantings here. ^__^

First submission...

Title: The Black Seal
Medium: Ink, Photoshop
Anime Series/Game: Haibane Renmei (Yoshitoshi Abe)
Description: "Ever since her arrival, Rakka couldn't seem to escape the cold gaze of the crows... fleeing into the forest near the Wall, she was frightened to see that they were there, too. Perhaps they were trying to tell her something. Or perhaps they had more in common with her than she had imagined..." This is my second Haibane fanart of the summer. ^__^ Hoping to complete one more before the end of August! ^__^ Tinting the colors to give a wintry impression was a bit difficult, but very rewarding. ^__^

Hope you all like it! ^^

Alrighty, haven't posted in awhile... so here's some more artwork! ^__^ If you want to keep up with a couple galleries that are updated more frequently, you can check out my website or my devART gallery. I'm still going to be updating here, but it's hard to keep track of so many online hangouts! ^____^;

(By the way, there are 14 numbered prints of "The Black Seal" (first image I posted) for sale... [url=mailto:nekomi@winds.org]email me[/url] if interested! ^__^)

OK! Here's the new stuff! ^___^ Thank you all so much for your kind and generous compliments! ^_^

#1:
Title: Keep Standing
Medium: Pencil, Photoshop
Anime Series/Game: original work
Description:
I completed this a few nights ago... very emotional piece for me. ^^ I felt overwhelmed; I realized that I'm past the point in my life where there are such things as "small decisions". Everything seems so insurmountable... and it's staring me right in the face. I felt weak, I felt tense, and afraid... but I'm resolute. I'm going to keep standing.

#2 and #3
(Media used: openCanvas on #1, Photoshop on #2)
The second and third images are concept work for Northwind Saga. ^__^ The Nereid is the first piece (sea-dwelling race) and the second is the Felinoid (which is the same race as the character in "Keep Standing"... my art persona is from that category. ^_^).

Wish I had more at the moment! ^__^ I'm working on a few drawings currently (some with real media, even! Wow! ^~), so hopefully I'll have more to show you soon! ^___^

Excellent! The first one has particularly good shading work in it, especially the copper-metallic tones.

Beautiful artwork, nekomi! God has certainly blessed you with talent in that area. That is one thing I've always wanted to be able to do and simply have never had the level of talent to do--express myself artistically. My brother is a talented artist but my drawings are limited to simple sketches and cartoons. At least I can enjoy others' artwork!I'll have to visit your website soon to see more...

Woooww....
