Kuranosuke Koibuchi

So I will be cosplaying at this next con in ATL in September as Kuranosuke.  I'm thinking one of these two looks (above or below.)  Personally the top one is cuter to me but I think the second may be more recognizable.  My friend Chrissy Powell with be Tsukimi!

Have I let you down lately?

I feel that my responsibility of keeping up with my blog has taken a major down fall lately! I've had things to blog about as well, but it just hasn't happened? Anyway...lots of new things going on over here...

• Finally got moved in (though still not completely) in our town house. The decor is looking great.



• Been busy practicing tattoos



• Started painting again...

These are my total fan arts of Chrissy Powell's Sugar Ninjas, I believe it was. Drew them up a looonnnggg time ago and finally water colored them last night to get back into things. Had a very definite idea for Sweet but for some reason I was very lost on Spicy, lolz. Strange, yeah? I intend to put photoshop skillzorz on them as soon as I reinstall those programs on my laptop but until I have chance to do that, this is how they shall look. I'd like to take better photos for you soon. Hope you like them! You can find Chrissy's original character designs here :

Its funny to me to look at because even though they're the same personas, the entire thing feel's sooooo different with our drawing styles! lolz. Her's are super cute, and like, the thighs on my Sweet are like BAM, lmao. But I like them regardless :3

Its been a very unproductive past couple days...

Not sure why but i've had an extreme lack of motivation to do much of anything?

But today I started doodling ideas for our Random Outing logo and intend to finish my painting for the CandyLand Bi-Weekly theme if I can get around to it. I'm not sure why its taking me forever to get that done but truly, I think its just lack of motivation.

Maybe two weeks is too long of a time span? I'm not sure.

Hmm so...

Random Outing!

(A Family Outing Parody)

Basically we're tired of watching awesome game shows and have decided to create our own!

We plan to have our first filming in April in Savannah, so thats exciting. This first episode will be more about getting to know each other and the games will be directed towards building a closeness in that manner. Think of this as something like MXC meets Big Brother if you haven't seen Family Outing for reference.

So far our group consists of :

1. Christi Thomas
2. Chrissy Powell
3. Stefani Delo
4. Jorel Belarmino
5. Vlad Mackarov

We're looking for some more men to help it balance. At least one more.

We've got some good games planned out though...I think this will be enjoyable =]

Our logo is a play on theirs, which can be found here:

In unrelated news, she's crazy:

Time for work!

Party Cube Project

OKAY! I rather want to blog about this as I feel the more attention I can bring to it the more likely it may be to happen! While watching the Rock Your Body music video by Justin Timberlake, I mentioned how awesome it would be to just have a room like that and just have a party. Not like, smash things and be stupid party but a just have fun and be nerdy retarded party. Like, dance, bright colors, just fun.

I would want to have like, two cameras at the least, one stationary (maybe two stationary cameras) and then one that travels around the people in the room, and have like groups know certain clips of random dances and just film it, then take the cuts and make own video with a song laid over it. Right now only song that comes to my head is the Lollipop song by Big Bang and 2Ne1, but doing a video like that would require specific key shots, which COULD be done, but I'm not sure if thats the right feel...

Anyway, I REALLY think this could be a good idea and a fun project, and wish I knew people in the SCAD film department who'd be interested in filming this as a project xD I guess this is a combination of those ideas and watching this one video where, just as mentioned, a kid filmed his friends bouncing around to a song and edited it with random clips and it became a hit xD

Said video and song

MGMT- Kids:

Big Bang ft 2ne1

Lollipop

Justin Timberlake

Rock Your Body

I'll leave this up to you to figure out.

Since I can't do cute

might as well do retarded.

Bi-Weekly Draw Fest

So for starters, I have completed my cherry stationary drawing. I have to say though, I dont really like it. I was okay with it at first, but then it kind of turned into not liking it rather quickly as soon as I applied color (go figure.) I know now how I should've gone about things, by keeping the line work seperate and then having a seperate colored layer, but hey, live and learn right? Now i'll know better the next time we take on stationary. Anyway, here it is, my cherry tree drawing:

This one below is Chrissy Powells creation for the cherry theme. She says its incomplete as well. We both seem to have quams with ours but like I said, its a learning process! I think its really cute really, and that a lil shading would've pushed it into the "finished" place. Its pretty cute though =}

You can find more of Chrissy's stuff at

In relation to this, the next Bi-Weekly drawing assignment has been released. Its been decided that the drawing will be done in print format, as a Giclee print, so thats neat.

The topic is:

Now, it doesn't matter how stars are fit into it really. They can be in the background, they can be entertainment stars, they can be pattern in the background, anything. I've been thinking and im still unsure how to take it...Will probably try to create something to tie into my Alice series. Or maybe not...I dont knooooowwww. What do you think? I could create a seperate piece to add more variety or add another piece to the Alice series to help it expand? Im unsure...


In other news: I might have a bite on my Alice series...she seems to be requesting a cheshire, which I already have several drawings of but they're all boys, and I feel she may be asking for a female version similiar to White Rabbit. Perhaps I should do a drawing of Cheshire and Mad Hatter to fit those drawings. Obviously not in panties and bras, and ya know, lolz.

Bi-Weekly Draw Fest

Theme 1: Cherries

So my friend, RoboSuplex creator Chrissy Powell, and I have decided to do a bit of a bi-weekly drawing challenge, which we've thusly named the Bi-Weekly Draw Fest.

Theme for the first one is "Cherries" -  This is open basically.  Such as, it can just be cherries, it can be cherry trees, it can be dryads, etc.  I'm going to go about this from a spirit stance, I believe.  We're designing a stationary set, which means the page to write on, and then the envelope design.   More to come!

RoboSuplex by Chrissy Powell

Featured Artist:  Chrissy Powell

Chrissy is a friend from when I went to SCAD who's blog I recently began following (http://robosuplex.blogspot.com/)  We used to share our own blog as well, but I was horrible at keeping it updated/anything computer related.  On the left, you can see a doodle she had made for the page featuring her (screaming) and me (zoning), lolz.  Gotta love it.

Her new art uses lots of bright colors and quirky designs, with a child friendly, whimsical feel.  Currently shes focusing on a card set featuring robots, good vs evil, hence the robo suplex link above.  Below i've included two samples of her new work: a good guy (Green Steel/Acero Verde) and a bad guy (The Fatty/ El Gordito)  Both are from her new trading card set.
