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. ;_;

Blood of My Blood

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

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…

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~ ♥

Mote-Mote; ‘coz He’s a “Lady’s Man”

Monday, June 15th, 2009

mote-mote by kurohiko on deviantartI’ve been working on this doujinshi (fan comic) for a while, and I’m planning to post it in my manga blog. It’s about Hiiragi Keiichi, Yumeno Uta, and Kuromi… specifically about how they feel about each other.

Unfortunately, my scanner died on me. I have a few pages I want to work on, but I can’t until I get my scanner fixed. And I haven’t had the time to do so lately.

I’m a little worried about my brother… he’s older than me, so I should be worried, actually. ~_~ I must be weird or something.

Now that I’m looking this cover again, though… I can tell you the perspective is totally off for this picture. I need to draw more characters will different backgrounds for practice.

Hope you guys like it anyway.

Turnabout Café

Monday, May 18th, 2009

uta yumeno from onegai my melody - alternate universe: polychromatic turnabout cafeI’ve been playing with my coloring effects lately, and I don’t think I’ve been able to choose one that I’ll stick with. Most of the time, I prefer to do cell shading because it gives the painting an edge, making it look refined and very anime-like.

However, I think I want to learn how to be less anime like and blend the colors more. I’m just impatient with the blending process as it takes up a lot of time.

I’m beginning to loosen up a little now. I used to not correct my ink work on the PC because I felt it was “cheating” to do so. For this piece, I went ahead and flipped, moved, redraw anything I thought needed to be changed. I’m pretty happy with how this came out… although I’ll probably change the color of the teapot on the right. and edit the BG a little bit.

I think I want to draw other characters now…
