New poster for conventions

Hello everyone!

I thought it was time for a new poster drawing and so I chose a very shoujo one with my character Minu and her little baby cat Leelu.

I love the girly colours and just had to put in everything that I love (flowers, feathers, pink and blue, a beautiful dress and a little kitteh). I really hope you like it. It will be available in September at the Connichi.

ACEOs

Next to the preparations for the upcoming conventions I am also doing a lot of ACEOs lately. Because I always need an aweful lot of time to finish an A4 or bigger sized drawing I am really happy when I can look at several finished ACEOs. The variety shows me that I still have ideas :) And that my copics are good for something.

Besides, there isn't anyone out there who would like to give me his or her copics as a present? ^_____^ I could use some more and new ones. ;3

Lottery ACEOs

Hello sunshines,

I so often really worry about my drawing abilities, but during the last week I've had such wonderful comments and reactions to some of the things I did that I have so much more courage now to go on drawing.

It may sound a bit kitchy, but one of my main reasons for drawing, besides the fact that it gives me a lot of satisfaction, is that I want to make people happy. I love to see how somebody is smiling at one of my drawings or likes my use of colours and the details and time and effort I put into it (and believe me, I really put a lot of time and effort into my drawings). That really makes it worthwhile.

In order to say thank you for some of these comments and encouragements I made a lottery on two webpages (one of them my Facebook page) and gave away these two ACEOs.

Besides: How do you like my Japanese bell in the upper right corner? Isn't it lovely? A friend of mine told me how to include it in my blog. Please visit her lovely blog.

And please also feed my little fish *______________* They are always hungry.

ACEOs - Once Upon a Time

Hello everyone,
I have been working on several new ACEOs for various people - commissions and trades. I will upload all of them soon, but until then I thought I might let you see some ACEOs I did a while ago.

I love the TV series "Once Upona Time". It is one of those feel good-series and I watched it during a time I really needed to feel good.

Like most manga fans I also love fairy tales and after I had seen the series I drew some ACEOs of some fairy tale characters that appear in the first season. I guess they are very self-explanatory :)  Except maybe the Little Red Riding Hood one. I guess only people who are familiar with the series will understand why I drew the wolf the way I did.

How I came up with the idea to draw them like paper cuts I don't know, but I am really proud of them. Most of them will be for purchase or as prizes during a lottery for one of my next conventions.


If you want to see more of the current stuff I am doing please visit my  Facebook page. I will do a lottery for everybody who is following my work.

Cheers,
Mulle

My little Pony

Priorities

The last time I watched My Little Pony I was 12 or 13, but during the last months I have rediscovered the series and am officially addicted. First, I was very sceptical about the design, but the hunour and intelligent character design convinced me. During my holidays in France I discovered some more MPL surprise and collector's bags and simply could not resist to buy some. I like these better than the monochrome ones and am afraid I will have to get some more. (You have to set your priorities right.)

Besides that I am thinking about the important question: Who is my favourite Pony? (yes, these kind of questions are important as they make me happy and help me to forget my work for a while :) Anyway, I am torn between Fluttershy and Rarity, although I also like Pinky Pie (how could anyone not love that little grunt'n'laugh?) Who is your favourite Pony? Until I decide about that I will simply draw some MPL fanart. Here is a sketch to my first idea. I think Pinky Pie would be a perfect kindergarden or primary school teacher, that's why I came up with this idea. You can't really see the background as the red pencil marks are too thin, but Pinky and her young students will be at a fair.

  I don't know what it is about me and fanarts of characters in their possible future jobs. ((oO))
I guess it's because I am also very concerned with the question of what to do even though I thought I was already done with that. Well, you can be mistaken about things more than once. So if I have to face realities I think I can at least dream about what some of my favourite characters could do if they ever grew up :)

Interview on AnimePro

Good morning everyone,

I almost completely forgot to tell you about the interview I was allowed to do with the extremely cool webpage AnimePro. They have interviewed some very good German and international mangaka and I feel honoured to be ranked among them. Thanks so much again to Jennifer (aka Zaubermaus) for the opportunity. You can read my interview here.

Drawing, drawing, drawing

Yesterday was a really bad day. Do you know these days when you just don't know why all this bulls**t happens to you? Yes, it was one of those days. Drawing always helps me in those times (as does my boyfriend). I think only because I finished my Kobato fanart yesterday and because my boyfriend was sitting next to me watching how I smeared white paint all over his parents' living room table I managed to enjoy the evening. I will let you see the complete painting when I'm back home and have my scanner, until then enjoy this detail.

When I draw I always like to surround myself with beautiful objects or beings (like my cats ^_^). I don't know, but somehow their beauty always helps. I guess that is also reflected in my drawings. I know they usually don't have a deep meaning, but I think they reflect the beauty I see in ordinary things and relationships - for example between Kobato and Iryogi-san. They love each other unconditionally just like I love my cats or like I enjoy the light reflected from the green tea I had yesterday.
