There are few things that I could just draw all day. Anime is one of those things. I think it's because anime is easy. Which is really a terrible thing to say. I should be happy to challenge myself, but I think I've had enough challenges lately thank you.
Today I'm doing some concept art for a good friend. He's publishing a novel and has asked me to do to cover art. Nervous as I am to have the world out there criticizing my stuff, I'm excited. I'm going to probably have around 7-10 concepts by Friday. My guidelines are: anime girl, sad and short hair. It's going to eventually be painted with acrylic on a black canvas. I think it's also going to be like a neon green color. Much like the acrylic Luke Skywalker I did a few months back.
Anime is great because you really don't have to worry about proportion. If people really looked like anime, they'd be freaky. So big, huge sparkly eyes with huge pupils (small pupils are usually used for villains), tiny mouths and really the hair has no rules. Or gender.
Beyond this 3 day anime project, I've really got to work on my painting for Dileep Rao. It was put on hold for my insane Christmas project madness. I also recently got an order for an anniversary present that'll be done before March. Sometime during my off-time at work I'm going to begin a very late Buffy the Vampire slayer for a friend. He doesn't know he's getting it and it was supposed to be for Christmas. Better late than never I suppose. So yeah, I'm freaking busy! But I'm glad. Usually when Christmas is over, I have no more orders. Not so this year! Happy 2013 everyone!
