PFFFTTTSHDGnDHnshmndSMDGrsDJnd...excuse the white noise spew. xD  My oooold art corner has been killed, so I now make a new one!  fweefwee!~  Problems solved. =]

Now, there's a quite a bit of stuffs I have done in the time I died [and had to search for a gold orb to resurrect myself. ;___;].  I have acquired the latest version of photoshop because my friend Ryan loves me. <3  And with it I have been having lots of fun.  So, here it goes;

A new, still unnamed character.  She's not just a character I'm considering for a fanfiction, but a prototype for the haurstyle I'm going to put on my head next. x]  So, I killed two birds with one stone with this~


Date: 2008.1.24
Two characters from my original novel and soon-to-be manga, Cherry Moon.  The title is a work in progress because I feel a little insecure with it. :/  It does have meaning, but eh~  I think it might change, who knows?  Anyway, this would be Cherry and Nemiyo in their bad habits.  What bad habits?  Nobody's been able to figure it out, so I might as well tell; Cherry's smoking, Nemiyo's torturing. Okay?  Good.
Btw, I know his legs look funny.  They're simply not long enough, so just use your imagination and pretend they're longer.  I noticed it after inking -- like I normally do.  Spleh.  The main way you can tell is their height's in comparison; Cherry is barely pushing five feet, while Namiyo reaches 6' 3".  He's definitely not tall enough, whether the legs look funny or not~


Date: 2008.1.23
Cherry and Nemiyo once more~ This one happens to my favourite accident. xD  My pride and joy.  It's an accident because I was trying to draw the "Bad Habits" one, but it turned out this way instead. =]  I'm very pleased.  And no, they aren't shagging. -.-;  It really pissed me off...do you not see the clothage?  Gawd.  Also, I'm sick of a certain someone having problems with Cherry's face~ Gawd forbid I'd give an anime character a big blippin' head!  And thanks, nice attack on my style.  And I always say I'm my biggest critic; bull.  Anyway...I think it's one of my best, so...yea.


Date: 2008.1.23
Cherry ~ Nemiyo
Blue really likes this one~  He thinks this one's my best! xD  The shading seems to impress people.  My art teacher once told me I was a shading junkii.  Hahaha.  Implying that I was good at it, not that I do it a lot.  I can sort of take pride in that. xD  Even if, sometimes, I do not agree. x]  I think I could've used better colours to set the mood more. :/
Yez~ She is drawling on his stomach.  Because I've always wanted to do it.  fweefwee.


Date: 2007.5.28 [sketch] ~ 2007.12.15 [coloured]
Two randoms~ It was manga practice because sometimes I don't do manga layout correctly.  The girl ended up being an RP character of mine in another life. xD  It is also sort of symbolic ~ because I get off on that stuff ~ but I don't want to get into that, thanks.  It's my second official work in the new photoshop.


Date: 2007.10.26 [sketch] ~ 2007.12.14 [coloured]
My first official and successful photoshop attempt.  It's a practice with a random tutorial I found in Deviantart.  I quite like it. :3  It was fun to do, as well.  That's Neya, btw.  A Naruto fancharacter. ^^  When I got my Akatsuki robe off eBay, I cosplayed her.  Hahaha.


Well, I believe that will be all for now.  I have water boiling for teryiaki noodles and I've already evaporated all the water on the first attempt because I completely forgot. o3o;  Enjoy and please give me each and every thought you have. x]  Of course, be nice about it.  I will not take flaming well. >.>; And also, no stealing and do not use any concepts that are mine without permission.  Kay, thankies~

Miyavi loves you~

Anime im watching: Bleach
Anime watched: Elfen lied

Castlvaneia
Devil hand
Silvermyths bane
28days later
Vergil the new king of Demon;s RP

Lawlz, I'm sure you did see it, damnit. xD;   It's on myspace. :/  You probably just don't remember.  Arigatou~

And I realize when I was rereading this for spelling errors that and noticed a giant time gap; there are two sketches that were still sitting dormant and bored in my book.  So, because I'm in a particularly un-lazy mood today, I scanned the quickly for you all.  Enjoy~

I'm a Death Note obsessour ~ deal with it.  And thus, a random character in my hoody standing with Matt.  Because he didn't get nearly enough air time in both the anime and manga and it upsets me.  He's awesome man.  I just loved the three boys. xD  Even though L reigns as my favourite, always.
I can't do backgrounds, and this is proof.  I must improve somehow. o3o;  I'm particularly fond of the writing. x]  Like most are as well.


Date: 2008.1.28
This is what happens when gym turns into a studyhall, and I have a crappy as pencil. :P  Seriously, I wouldn't even post this if it weren't the magick of photoshop.  There's smudge marks and pencils scars that no eraser I own will get rid of. -.-;  Needless to say, I chucked the pieace of ***.
Aaaaand, yez~ That is indeed hide-sama!  My favourite jrocker of all time. ^^  I dunno what possessed me to draw it, all I know is it could've been better -- despite the pencil -- if some random girl hadn't come over and started watching me. o.o;  If I knew the person, it wouldn't have made a difference, but...she was strange...and hyper.  I was scared.


Okay, I promise that's the last of it for now. xD  Maybe one more later today if I get to drawing and I feel like scanning.  I do have a nifty Devil May Cry idea. x]  And if I play my cards right, I could make the colouring kickass.  Also keep watch for the coloured versions of these -- though it definitely won't be today.

Thankiiiieees. <3  Like I said, please give me all of your opinions, no flaming and do not redistribute without written permission from me and giving credentials.

Miyavi loves you~

Awesome pics! I'd be interested in finding out more about the manga your writing ^_^

Oh and welcome back by the way, you probably don't remember me...I mean of course you don't remember me, we only met due to an RP that's now since died T_T...But seriously welcome back XP

Blackness covers all I see and all I touch
No feeling of pain just sorrow
My hand loses grip of the sword I held
And I turn to become a true shadow.

(\-M-/) Muah ha ha...Fear the Bunny King!!!
(='.'=) And his Holy Hand Grenades!!!!!
(")_(")±±±±± => Holy Hand Grenades (sort of)
Breaking News: It would appear that the Bunny King failed maths in Primary School, the test in question involving counting to 3!!! XD

Wow, I'm impressed ^____^ Awesome drawings!!! Wish I could draw so well but... hmmm... nevermind. Anyway, it's good to see you back in action =D

I'd prefer to be hated for what I am instead of being loved for what I'm not!
Sadness is just another word for not enough pizza!
Thankies DD, for this great sig ^_^ You're the best!!!

@ Oric_of_Chaos| Hiiii!  I recognized your sn, but I think that was about it. xD;  Gomen nasai!!!  Lmfao.  Thankiiies, though.~

@ DarkHuntress| Yez~ and thankies to you as well. x]  I'm glad my stuffles is likes.  Haha.



TODAY'S SESSION OF NIJIARKOIRIS|
will consist of the very brief part one to a jrock fanfiction of mine; A Band Story.  I began to write it quite a while ago, but by far has been the one everyone wants me to go and finish. =]  I, myself, am particularly fond of it.  The mood makes me chuckle like an idiot. Hahaha.
Enjoy~

A BAND STORY
Nayeli Niji

PART ONE: Stick it Up Your Nose

She was in her cute samurai tank with metal rings in the collar, fluffy pink and black kitty jacket and pinstripe school girl mini skirt with net tights, black leggings to just above the knees and heavy platform shoes. The fans were escorted into the room where she and her four bandmembers sat patiently on couches. They clutched their ears when they squeeled.

There were three fans; two girls and guy. She would've much preferred them all to be guys because of the rabid fangirl-ish-ness of most of the female population. They taller girl with impossibly red hair squeeled again when their drummer, Psyeoran, greeted them. Nephele wanted to kill her.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! It's you!" the shorter girl with hot pink hair squeeled.

The guy they were with was taking all the noise just about as well as the band was. After the second minute of "Ohmygod,it'syou,Ican'tbelieveitwe'reyourbiggestfans!", Nephele was done.

"Hai hai, who the hell did you think it was?! I think we established the fact that it's us when we put a giant sign up outside with our names on it!" she snarled in annoyance. The guy almost pissed his pants in fits of laughter.

Naith, the 1st guitarist, leaped off his couch and over Nephele's to wrap an arm around her neck and noogie her, "Oooohh! Don't mind this one! She's just cranky because she hasn't has anything to drink since yesterday! You know how her dehydration problems get! Ehehehe...heh..."

They were more than satisfied, much to Nephele's dismay. And to think, they had to endure the rest of the day with them. The guy she had no complaints about - yet - but the girls she'd probably end up murdering. Or trying to. If she could get through her bandmates first. That was very unlikely. So, Nephele grabbed her bag and followed them out. They'd chosen a ramen stand to go eat at.

That guy seemed awefully familiar...

an interesting fan character, and good color selection. the pose is bland, but it's just a character/hair concept.

I like this picture too (I could guess the smoking was a bad habit btw) however, when you colored the girl's outfit black, you
 lost a lot of detail, and it doesn't look like you tried as hard as you really did.

there not banging, but they did when the pic was so small.  It's a shame you didn't spend more time on the guitars and other accesories, because they make everything look "cheapened". especialy with your eye for detail, I know you can do beter (you gave the man a guitar, and the girl has a bass, I can tell because of the number of spokes, guitars have 6, bass's have 4



I agree with everything you said about this one. it's shaded very well, and the colors are too gothic me thinks. I'd use "happier" colors for this one, yellows, browns, anything but purple and black. and...why would you wanna draw on someone? I can understand the face but...oh never mind...

Awesome. This is my favorite (of the colored ones anyway) you probubly should have used colors more like these for your last piece.

this one is also nice. it has a very movie poster feel.

 

hope you make more.

Brrreeeeeaaaaakkk <3 Haha, thankies for all of the critique. :D I answer so late becuase I was collecting all of my thoughts and stuff. So, here it goes;

Really, nobody could understand why I called it "Bad Habits". On Deviantart I had to explain it. >.>

Though, the problem with me when it come to my work is that I'm a perfectionist. I like things looking smooth, soft and pleasing to the eye, but due to being over ciritcal of myself -- or so people say I am -- anything I do seems to come out gritty and messy. The "Bad Habits" picture seems better to me coloured because it got rid of a lot of the messiness.

Funny that you should point out that you can tell what the instruments are~ That aside, I'm not good at drawing instruments and I did use a reference for the guitar. I kept it simple with most of it because of the above paragraphs' explaination; I didn't want it to look messy.

And I know what you mean about the eyes...I didn't discover the blur technique in PS until recently >.>; *is shot*

And just to be a jerk; Lies! A bass can have 5 strings sometimes. :D *points to the band Girugamesh* Hehehehe~


My problem with the bedroom one is how bright the colours came out. Bright colours are my thing, but that wasn't the mood I was going for. I was going for a filtered, darker favour. Like a warmer sepia, almost...but with colour. o.O; I really don't think I said that right...

So, yea. I believe I covered everything needing coverage.  I really really appreciate the critique~  Honestly.  I know I need it and I can't seem to find it anywhere. >.<  I'll keep making them for sure. :D  I still have to make my first manga!  Wheeeeeee~  Hahaha.





And just a small update for today seeing as all I've done recently is colour an old drawing I posted a long time ago.  Some of you who knew me then may remember the sketch;




And then a pathetic poem I wrote monday.  These next three or four months may produce a lot of this.  Excuse me if you don't like this sort of thing.

At Wits End
Nayeli Niji

Presence in a crowded space;
Look look look.
I know I won't see his face,
but just in case I overlooked...

Though, what would you do to stop the pain?
Before you silently go insane.
And the hate starts to change the world
as Hell itself becomes unfurled...
Sorrow itself stains my semblant;
He has no idea how much he meant
to me and inside my heart.
It's on my face and reading it isn't hard.

I don't know what to do anymore;
All these signs, I'm not longer cared for.
No loving embrace, no hand to hold,
no bond of trust to build and mold.
No shoulder to lean on, my muscles weak,
no ear that silently eats the words I speak.
With all reason for inspiration lost,
all paths taken as the cost
of loving someone more than myself.
How can I not be afraid to do that for someone else?

It's not like anyone I know now would do it for me;
My face is the last one they'd ever wish to see.
One mutated and sullen with the falls of remourse
It's not an attractive quality, you'd know, of course.
I can think of no one who'd be off worse
if today I just fell of the face of the Earth.
I know no soul who'd be greatly effected
if I died with no chance of being resurrected.

Sometimes, really, I wish I'd had died
the moment my head connected with that wall.
So many times I've tried and tried,
but I'm just a lost cause to all.

And so, this concludes today's entry.  As always; do not redistribute without the direct permission from me, Nayeli Niji/Xkei/etc.  IE. Don't steal.  Grrr~

Miyavi loves you~

Impressive ^_^ I have to admit that the colours are a bit bright for me but either way they still look cool XP

If ya ever finish your manga I'll be sure to read it ^_^

visualxkei:

And just to be a jerk; Lies! A bass can have 5 strings sometimes. :D *points to the band Girugamesh* Hehehehe~

 

yes, a bass can have 5 strings, but as an aspiring guitarist, I was referring to a traditional bass. besides, there's only 2 prongs in sight, I can't see the other side, so distinguishing a 4 string from a 5 string is impossible on that model. however, there are also 12 string guitars, but there used for playing rhythm only. for not burning me on that, I'll laugh at you...

 

HA!

 

The new/old pic is good at any rate.

o3o I wasn't meant to be a burn...I'm just being a technical retard. :D

Thankies though.  To both of you~

---

Today was quite productive, if I do say so myself. :/  I got two and a half drawings down. :D  Obviously, I'll be only showing two because yea...I'm not showing half a drawing. =]  Tough luck~

[*clickable!~* for larger views]

Goddess of Time
Exactly as the title implies. xD;  It's inspired somewhat from the God of Time statue you find in the Devil May Cry games. =]  I always really liked it and ended up having to take photos of the gameplay to actually get a picture of it to reference for when I draw it as practice.  I was amazed when I couldn't find it on the net. o.o
This was actually going to be something else, and I'm still playing with the concept in my mind.  I'm not really pleased with how this came out ~ I enjoy it mostly for that tattoo on her arm. :/


Best of Enemies
Friends or foes?  Sometimes you can never really tell between them. xD  Cherry is annoyed by his very presence at times, and Nemiyo is just obnoxious.  Lmfao.  They're so fun to drawl. :D  In fact, that third half-done picture will feature them x]


Hope you have enjoyed tihs session of NijiArkoiris.  Again, do not redistribute without direct permission from me.

I like the first one, it's simplistic, but still catches your eye.

 

the second one is also good, and reminds me of myself and my brothers. I'm always giving them noogies and such. 

---

xD;  The other idea I had was sooooo much better though.  Lmfao. *must work on it once I finish the third drawing*  It dunno why, though.  I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. ;__;  Something seems wrong for some reason.

Lawlz~  You'll enjoy the manga. He puts that girl through so much torture. xD  She gains about six-million new vocabulary words from him, most of which are colourful profanities or insults specifically for her.  Hahaha.

---

no, noogies are as far as I go. :/

 

I can't say i'm a guro fan.
