The Book of the Shadows

Over the weekend I added a new page to this blog. The page is called "Featured Art".

Ochiba no naka ibara hime / Beauté de sommeil Parmi les Chute des feuilles/ Sleeping Beauty Among the Falling Leaves

Here it is, the finished product. Mana Anzai.

It’s finally here. Took me a little longer than expected, but here we finally have the art piece I promised, featuring Yugi and Drusilla of the Cromwell Universe.

Well, here's my last major post of 2013...

There is perhaps a little poetry that my 100th post ends up being something like this...

As I promised yesterday, today I've got an image to roll out for Drusilla Arenzai. Like in the past, this is a black and white line-art piece that I will be adding color to in the near future.

Hello and happy Labor Day to everyone in the States. Got a new picture to share today...

About twelve days ago I showed off an art project I had recently finished, as far as the drawing phase. I'm still working on that one, trying to touch it up and make it look nice. But, today I would like to share a new one.

I don't like art in the way people who go to museums like art. You couldn't ask me to describe the artistic motif or the use of color or the use of brush strokes, pen strokes, or what have you in any piece of art. I don't tend to see things like that with the depth to comment on quality or utility. But I do like art in the abstract (not necessarily abstract art). I can appreciate art in the aesthetic sense, even if I can't get into it in a technical sense. I feel that is what makes the difference between me being a decent, above average artist, and me being a really good artist. There is a website where people with much more talent and creativity than me submit their work. Okay, actually there are several websites like that, but this one is one of my favorites. It is called Minitokyo.net , and it is focused on anime, video game, and manga artwork. Much of the work there is free to download, and I have in the past used a number of pieces for wallpapers on my desktop....
