Pearl of the Orient

November 18th, 2009 by kurohiko:mymelody.com

So far, I have only two manga’s I’m somewhat known for: Mango Jam’s "Twilight’s Calling" as its continuing artist, and A.illusions’ mangaka. And this piece features the main characters of each series, Twilight Montano and Rei Kuassary respectively.

It was meant to be sold as prints to help the victims of Ondoy, also known as Ketsana in the international news. Sadly, I didn’t find a good printing service, and decided instead to raise awareness to people and get them to donate wherever they may be and whatever mode of payment they may like.

It’s a bit frustrating that there are still some places where it’s still flooded when the typhoon occurred back in September. And really, doesn’t it make people wonder, that maybe it was really the damns that caused the flood and not the rain?

Ok, rant aside, you will notice there are two sets of writings, one on top of the other for the background. That is actually an unofficial translation of the Philippine National Anthem, “Lupang Hinirang”. Depending also on which character you prefer, you can turn it upside-down or right-side up.

Hope everyone likes this~ It’s one of the few times I drew the pencil work clean enough to not need inking any longer. ^^; Doesn’t happen often, I assure you!

Here, Kitty, Kitty~

rozen's sacrifice by kurohikoI’m not entirely sure why there is a fascination of cats in anime but I’m not complaining.

This is actually an old work of mine that I forgot about and never finished. Aside from the obvious reason that I was procrastinating, I drew this on a paper that made ink bleed.

I thought I had to redraw it to make it clean enough for coloring.

But I really liked the expression on his face so I scanned it, and cleaned it up on photoshop. It worked out pretty well, considering it’s really just a sketch. And I really like the watercolor effect with the sketchy outline… it’s a good combination and I think I’ll experiment with this more in my future illustrations.

…that is, as soon as I finish fixing my computer. He’s been giving me problems lately, and I hope I can fix him… or back up everything before he dies on me. ;_;

The Masters of HKO

November 12th, 2009 by kurohiko:mymelody.com

game masters by kurohikoI keep forgetting that I have a blog in Sanriotown, Hahaha~!

I’ve been feeling very creative lately, which led me to drawing the Game Masters in HKO. I remember sometime last year, Level-Up introduced the GMs on their live streaming. And… well, since it was live streaming, you can’t really see the GM’s faces too well.

The live chat did let people talk about what the GM’s looked like though! Most of the guys (and gals) were saying GM Abby was really cute! I remember them saying GM Neverender has really cool hair and that they wanted an HKO item like that. Haha~ And of course, GM Bacon was really, really white!

I’m not even sure how accurate this portrait is, but I did send this during Hello Kitty’s Birthday. I got featured in two Sanriotown blogs, so I’m really happy Sanriotown likes it..?

I just hope the GMs like it too~ I wonder if we’ll get to see what the other GMs look like~? ♫

Blood of My Blood

onegai my vampire melody by kurohiko on deviant art“If you’re thirsty, then drink. I’m not stopping you.”

She winced, her fangs baring at him. She wanted this man’s blood, but she feared hurting him.

He sensed her reluctance and laid back in his seat. Untying the ribbon around his collar, he reached up to his neck and pierced his skin there. It was only a scratch, but the scent of blood was overwhelming her.

“Hiiragi… sama…”

Her eyes were dark with desire… need… He pulled her closer to him and allowed her to give in… and feed on him.

**********

I think I may have been watching too many vampire films like Moon Light and Vampire Knight. And no, I do not like Twilight. Vampires do not glow.

Just a Kiss…

August 10th, 2009 by kurohiko:mymelody.com

uta and hiiragi's kiss memeI’m not very good with drawing kisses… >.<;;; so I decided to fill up a kiss meme in order to practice.

This might be a little surprising to most people, as they know me to ship Hiiromi (Hiiragi/Kuromi), but I actually also ship Keita (Hiiragi/Uta). I’m not very loyal to my OTPs, am I? -_-;;;

There’s also something very cute about Jun and Uta, but I don’t think there are a lot of supporters of this pairing. Truthfully, I think Uta would be better off with Jun than Kogure… But that pairing also has its cute moments.

The kiss in the nose and the kiss on the lips were especially difficult, so I had to ask some people to give me some ideas. Then again, kiss on the ear practically killed me.

I hope you guys like the meme~ ♥
