Moe Challenge!

SO. I have decided that my anime art is not animu enough to my liking. Don't know what this means? Neither do I. But I feel like there is always something missing in a lot of my pictures! So, I am starting my own little challenge that I have given a silly name and may not even follow through with but HEY. THIS IS AN ART DUMP.

FIRST, A DISCLAIMER: THESE ARE NOT ORIGINAL PIECES. All of the pictures here are the result of me looking at a picture on the computer and attempting to recreate it. I did not trace anything, but I know some people are still iffy about eye-tracing... SO. YEAH. Either way, this is my personal journal, so suck it. :|

The URLs for the original pictures are in the image, but if you're lazy, most of the art I'm using for this is by this artist.

Now enjoy some moe.


First attempt! Most proud of the folds in the clothing. Least proud of the top of her head.


Second attempt! Still getting into the swing of things. This one isn't very good.


Third attempt! One of my favorites in the bunch. Most proud of the face. Least proud of the hair.


Tried something a little harder in terms of hair. It's not sitting on her head very well.


This one took the longest but I don't think I tried as hard on the shading. Longer hair was harder to draw. Details on her clothes in the original were hard to see.

...and that's it! All five of these were drawn in about two hours and each one (save the last one) was drawn without pause or distraction, save for in between pieces. They were pretty fun! I'm hoping I can keep this up for a little while. I really want to get better, and this makes great practice for expressions!

IN OTHER NEWS. Epic plotness is going down over at Luceti. I haven't been able to tag around [livejournal.com profile] mmmfilletofsoul as much as I would like, but considering she's generally the easier of the two to write, I think this is a good chance for me to have [livejournal.com profile] soreplaceable out more. Plus, he's totally being the hero and saving Anise for once. :|b DELICIOUS DEVELOPMENT IS DELICIOUS.

OH and for, what ,the one person on my FList from Luceti (HI MARBLES) I am planning a gigantic art dump in the Fans community sometime in the near future. I am already piecing it together and it shall be GLORIOUS.

THAT IS ALL.
