Chibi...Chibi...Chibi

Good morning y'all,

I am currently very busy because I am moving and I also have a lot of work to do at university oO It's so typical, whenever you do something like that it all comes together.

So I have no time for big artworks. However, I've been doing some chibis lately. I had to do a Chibi Esmeraude from Sailor Moon for a project on Facebook and I liked her so much that I started drawing other Sailor Moon characters as chibis. Here you see the first four I did (well, actually five as Ale an Ann are a pairing, of course).

I love the design of Ale and Ann. Actually, the colour combination is hilarious, but it works just fine with these two, so you can see how the Sailor Moon designers are really great artists.

Fisheye is quite an ambigious character for me. On the one hand, he is extremely unnerving, but on the other hand the design is unique. I mean, look at that bubbly fish costume oO

Helios doesn't appear too often so he is very special for me and he helped a lot that I started liking Chibi Usa a bit better.

 

 

Esmeraude was the first one I did for the project. Her German voice is very unnerving, but I love her green hair.

 

 

There will be surely more Sailor Moon characters as chibis so I hope you are looking forward to that.

 

Love,

Mulle

Cecil for the Lovers

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten to show you the the finished Cecil fanart. I am really happy about it and hope it can also make your day a little brighter :) Enjoy!

By the way, I have finally received new products for my Dawanda shop. You can find them there this Friday. I am so happy about that, too. Oh, there are so many things to make a day happy. Now I'll go and hug my boyfriend and think about my lovely kittehs ;3

ConHon entries .... more ConHon entries

I have the feeling that I have never done so many ConHon entries in the years before than I have done during the last two months. Well, that's what happens when you're at a wonderful convention like the LBM.
But the one you see here was done for the first buyer of items from my Dawanda shop. Thr first five people who buy for more than 15 Euro will get a ConHon-entry for free.

This ConHon entry, however, is for the dear Carrie, who wrote to me via my Facebook page. I envy her because she is currently in Japan. Hach...

Rainy days...

A sleepy good morning to you all!

It's been raining during the last days óÒ and somehow this has also effected my mood. I could sleep all day and simply do nothing *Zzzzzz*. Tinkering and drawing is a good therapy against that. So whenever I am feeling a little depressed I shut myself up in my room, have a good movie running to entertain me and simply tinker all day. Concentrating and doing things yourself is a great way to cheer yourself up and so yesterday I continued my Aijima drawing and also made some more postcards. Yes, I am making handmade postcards. I either use them myself, hand them out as giveaways or sell them.

In June, there is a wonderful event where all artists in my home Bundesland will open their doors and give an insight into their work and sell handmade items. It is called Kunst offen and it is really worth an outing with your family. I will take part with my father, hwo is a wood artist. Have  a look!

 

I really need to decide on the light and shadow of this drawing oO Ah well, there is still time :)

 

Love,

Mulle

Morning progress

Good morning to y'all!

It is still quite early, but because I usually work and study during the day until the late evening I often use one or two hours in the early morning to continue with my paintings and drawings. I'm an early bird ;3 (oh, don't let my cats here that ^^)
So I could do some details for Aijima's face, which looked a bit weird without eyes. If you compare the  pictures from the last post and this one you can see the enormous difference eyes can make, that's why they are so important in manga and anime. However, this is also only an inbetween-step. The very last strokes will be done shortly before I finish the picture.

I think it looks almost 3D, doesn't it?

Well, I also did some more drawing, but I'm gonna keep that for later.

Have a lovely day! Work is calling!

Working

Hello dear ones,

I hope you had a good start into the new week (I don't want to go to work today oO - I wanna stay home and do what I like - *I'm a whining kitteh today* ^^).

Well, sometimes you just have to pull yourself together and cheer yourself up with something you like, like drawing. So I hope I can cheer you up a bit (especially the ladies among you) with some glimpses of my new UtaPri Fanart ;3 (I love UtaPri!!!) You might remember my Ren-Fanart (see one of the maaaany posts below), well, this time I decided for a character that does probably not belong to the most beloved of the idols. However, I thought: "With just the right amount of sexiness Cecil can be just as gorgeous as the others." So that's my task for this one. Here's how I proceed.

Love,
Mulle

Mulle's Dawanda Shop

Dear all,

I finally did it! After so many people have been asking me about setting up a shop I have finally done it. And I have to admit it is much easier for taking care of things :) Please visit me on Dawanda! If you have any questions about the shop you can also contact me here. I also do international shipping within Europe (which I will probably extend to overseas as soon as I have established everything :)

Have a lovely Sunday!

Mulle's drawings process - part 3

Hello everyone,

today I want to finish the insight into my drawing process for the Happy Easter drawing I did recently. In the last two posts you could already see the first steps from the inking to the way I decide on the colours. This time we will have a closer look at the background and the finishing touches.

Here you can see how I did the Background. I really only used two colours. I work wet on wet so that the colours can run smoothly together and combine the way they want to. I like to leave some things to chance. Only when I am really not satisfied with the way the colours intermingle will I interfere and correct here and there. As you can also see there are a lot of areas that need re-doing. I leave those for the very end.

Because when I am done with the complete colouring I start re-working all the areas that need correction or that I am not satisfied with. I also apply white ink and usually re-work the outlines. As you can already see everything looks much more clean. The very last step are the white dots and my signature and the image is done.

I hope you found this a bit interesting and that it may be helpful to you.

Have a lovely 1st of May!!!

Love,
Mulle
