Oh yeaaaah. Back in the game. Well, sort of...

So I havent touched a piece of art since, well... I cant even remember. Was feeling a little slack and I had nothing to do tonight so I figured hey why dont I finish one of the many sketches I started ages ago? And by ages ago I mean aaaaages ago, like 2007 ages ago...

I hope you don't take offense at this...I really like the way you did the face, and the level of finish you have in the drawing, but the arms are throwing me off also. As Karadin says, the torso should be a bit longer too, to fit with that "bishi" look. Since I stink at trying to explain things in words, I did this...I am not the master of anatomy either, but the arms would look a bit more natural this way.

heh, photobucket seems to have deleted the image. But thanks for the attempted advice anyway :)

I think I have an idea of what you're talking about, the main reason is I simply dont have enough experience with drawing teh mens, I still draw them a lot like women... smaller torsoes, longer legs, smaller hands, not enough muscle definition etc etc so my men always turn out girly and freakish-looking. Just something I need to work on... I should probably get out my anatomy book and practice more male torsoes, its ridiculous that abs and pecs still puzzle me :P

For some reason I can't do a direct link with Photobucket today...usually LJ will "linkify" the html for me. Please copy/paste http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa215/ani_mama/CloudCatcopy.jpg in your browser.

I think better than anatomy books is sketching from live models. Have your brother or boyfriend pose for you!

LOLOLOL. I don't know what compelled this BUT I APPROVE.

Also the ROSE LACED UNDERWEAR ♥

NOW GET TO DRAWING ME SOME FREEPORT.

[arlo_arleh]

Yeah, I knew you would.

Freeeeport... The spirit is willing, but the flesh is all spongy and bruised D:

I need some more drawing timez before I start that, I've gotten out of practice and anything I turn out now probably wouldnt be to my previous standard of a year ago. I cant believe thats how long its been since Ive touched pencil and paper...

This is very hot. :) I love the ears and tail, too. They "fit" where other neko art just... doesn't.

If that makes sense. :) Your neko!Cloud definetly looks super sexy.

[arlo_arleh]

Awwww thankyou :)

Hi there Arleh, hope you don't mind if I add/stalk your journal *__* I love your cosplays and arashi >3<

[arlo_arleh]

Hahah no worries, I assure you I'll do some equal stalking of my own >:D

Gaaaaah cosplay, must get into it again. Catty and Tsubaki's epic win at cosplay updating makes me cryyyyy D: are you part of the australian cosplay scene too? I probably know you dont I, I just have major trouble putting a face to a name :/

and ARASHI FTWLULZ!!! God I love them so much. And then some japanese students at the international college I work at just HAD to tell me that "they are ummm... sort of a boy band... for... little kids..." and it sort of, well, broke my heart into tiny pieces because basically they were like "wtf crazy gaijin liking japanese music and thinking they know all about our culture and food when they dont know shit lololol" but thats ok because its ARASHI. I STILL LOVE THEM ALL THE SAME :DDDDDD

[sunset_swish]

Ehhh i'm not worthy of your stalking ^^;;;;

Sew Sew Sew!! what're you planning to cosplay this year? I can't wait to see >3D Yeah, I started cosplaying last year it's so fun!!! I was actually behind you in the cosplay line at supanova and Smash LOL but my cosplays were fail so don't try to remember me 8D;

GOD YESSS ARASHI~~~~!!! OH NOES But but the little kids won't understand the worth of Arashi's fanservice photos D:!!! Don't worry I got weird looks when buying arashi merchandise on my trip to Japan, Gaijin can marvel in arashi's awesomeness aswell darnnit!! We must do their most gayest sparkliest outfits ever, it'll be fantastic 8DDD

[alita_b_angel]
