Beauty Pop

I also began reading beauty pop (it's a manga) again.

READ IT. You will be SEVERELY ENTERTAINED (I don't know why I use that phrase...I just...do). It's about a hairstyling genius girl who is pulled into a beauty club at her high school called "scissors project", or SP. then, it's basically the story of her adventures.

I don't think the hairstyles are particularly very good, considering that it's a hairstyling manga, but I absolutely cant complain about the main character's (koshiba kiri) hair. I don't really get why I like it...I normally hate bobs, or whatever you call her hairstyle (puffy hair, as Naru Naru calls it, haha), but if the mangaka had used any other hairstyle, it wouldn't have matched. It just...suits her. If she chose long hair, then it wouldn't be kiri (this is her first name. Just a little japanese lesson: in japan (at least, this is what I think is true...I could be wrong...), you should call a person by their last name as a sign of respect. If you get close to them, however, you may be allowed to call them by their first name. Im just using her first name cuz its not like that in europe or america, where i think most of my (very small amount) of viewers are from) anymore...

Ochiai...ehehe...he sure does love that little hand position...
I have a big collection of manga pics in which a character (guy or girl) puts their hand in the hand position indicating that you're a lesbian. Just my entertainment:D
I'll put it up someday. I've been trying to clean out my iPads memory today, and so far I have cleared my 1,500 pics to 450. I think that's a big improvement. Most of them are pics of professional manga-style pics I liked or references for my drawing.

Since I'm here, I'll put up a pic of a guy for my turandot opera parody. I haven't mentioned this yet, except for in the "what will be the ..." post. I actually had to draw him as a sketch for my GDI class, and they're only giving me A FREAKING THREE DAYS to work on it on the computer, so I had to simplify a lot. His name is Lamair, but his real name is Amour. Maybe I'll put the story summary up someday...I should edit that to make it more...concise...

Oh yeah, in this pic, it implies that he's a holy soldier of some sort. He's not anything like that; I just needed to do something to make him look not so plain...his hair is bright RED (not orange), his eyes are light, startlingly clear blue, his tunic and pants are blue with gold trim and detail, and his shirt is white. However, the stupid GDI project may make me have to change that...if so, then his hair would be the same gold as the detail on the clothes, his eyes would be silver like his sword, his tunic would be blue, and his shirt and pants would be white. In both versions, his boot are a dark gray.
Hmmph. For the GDI project, we are put into groups where we have to design something (in my case, concept character design), and our goal is to make a profit of $10,000 for the whole team. However, my teacher said something about having to buy COLORS. For goodness sakes!! Why in the world would you have to do that???!!!?! I can understand why he would make us "buy" photoshop and other programs, but why would you have to buy colors?? They come free with photoshop!! Yeah, so that's why I made all those color changes to Lamair...sigh...and yes, one side of his hair is curly (though I'm not too good at drawing that yet) and the other side is straight. As a bit of rebellion, I'm making his bangs cover one eye so I don't have to draw it. Hmmph. Also, if his head looks off to you, I'm sorry, I had to erase it, and I don't know if drew it on again right of not...

I've been doing as much as I can so I can finish the project in three days (I'm not very experienced with digital art---that's why I'm so worried), hence the simplified colors, clothes, covered eye, and shading on the sketch. I think the shading makes him look like a golem...ah, well...better now than later, when I'll be freaking out over the deadline...

Yeah, I'm gonna stop now. This is excessively long. Really...
