Revival of the Silver Dragon

Hey guys! ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ

I'm in the middle of 6 commissions for a small local production so I can't really draw leisurely that much until I finish those 6 but yesterday I finished my first one (YEAY!) and decided to relax with some leisure sketches before bed.

For those who have known me since way-back-when, they would know that my nickname is derived from one of my oldest OCs, Ryu, who I created onto paper when I was 12 after a series of dreams that lasted 2 - 3 months. m9(・∀・) From there I created the world she was in for a manga project called Ginryu, which I have been polishing ever since.

Though with the arrival of other major projects onto the same universe like [INTOXICATED], [Le Noir Pain de Miette] and [Ripple] (yeap, they're all in the same universe), I couldn't focus on polishing Ginryu these past couple of years and I had the sudden urge to revisit Ryu's world again last week. ( ﾟヮﾟ)

So here's my loot.

The 3 main characters of Ginryu; (from left) Ryu, Sakuya and Sekara. I saw one of my favourite artists, Demi-luv do a similar concept so I thought it'd be fun to try it out too. ( ﾟヮﾟ) Full credit of the concept goes to her. And I thought their brief "character descriptions" above them can be some sort of a tagline for the series whenever I do illustrations. (Kinda like Gensoumaden Saiyuki) So far, I'm pretty happy with them.

Bust shots of Ryu and Sekara. I was suppose to do one of Sakuya too (so they can form matching pictures saying each syllable of the Manga title) but I couldn't seem to get hers right so I left it like this haha.

A quick sketch and shading of Sakuya. She literally is a living God since her character is suppose to be an Arahitogami.

Was playing around in Photoshop with Ryu's lineart.

Anyways, I'm off again for now. Need to get back to drawing the commissions so バイバイビイイイ！★

Oh yeah!! check out my previous entry to help out a talented artist in need of help!

A friend in need of help!!

Hey guys! （　ﾟДﾟ）

sorry for the absence as of late. Was busy but putting that aside....

A friend of mine needs help. She's going through some really tough financial situation right now and she's in need of money. She's still a student, majoring in Illustrations but in order to not burden her parents for any money (since her family is also in a rough spot where money is concerned), she decided to not loan money from them. And plus she won't loan or take money from her friends, (I TRIED LAWL) but... she did tell me that she's maximizing her illustration commissions (WHICH ARE GORGEOUS.)

So! to help her out further, I've decided to help her at least spread the word regarding her works. Here are some samples of her commission works:

Aren't fantabulously gorgeous? ( ﾟヮﾟ) These are just a handful of the gorgeous artworks she's got lying around her gallery, so please if you can spare a few extra bucks, head on over to her Commission Journal HERE and commission her.

Oh and since her internet was discontinued, she won't be able to be online but you can place commissions by commenting on this post with details of your commission and I'll pass it on to her as soon as possible via sms.

Any help you give will be a tremendous relief for her so please do consider! Thank you so much for taking your time to read this entry. m(_ _)m
