ShortCircuited

This time I vectored an image from some SnS product (think its a cushion or a mousepad?), so the source was an annoyingly sparse 500×500.

Fumina Konoe Strikes Back was definitely one of (if not) the best Shana-tans I’ve seen.

Figure 1.0: Shana-tan mulls.

My new vector is the cover of “How to Draw Manga: Maids & Miko”. Original illustration by Shinichi Ishioka is also linked below. (more…)

Well, I finished Air Gear last week… but that also meant I didn’t finish my vector >_>

orz.

The hair took a lot longer then expected, and I didn’t think so much planning was required in making these larger vectors. You need to coordinate multiple layers and what section of hair/skin/cloth goes where. (Due to overlapping or objects “bending” around each other).

Since I feel bad not even posting during the weekend I’ll just post an outline and preview view of what I got so far:

Looking at the rest of the original, seems like I just need to grind the rest as theres no more tricks I need to develop to make it look purdy. And by grind I mean sit in front of my computer for 5 hours straight drawing the little fucking lacy parts on the fucking lace. >_>

P.S. Air Gear is awesome.

I’ll give an update on the comic. (more…)

I made a few minute changes that no one would notice… and I realized that I’d need to offer more screen ratios, so here we go. I’ll provide a widescreen later I guess.

1600×1200

1280×1024

I got a new monitor (Viewsonic VX922) recently, so in celebration heres some new vector wallpapers!

This one is thin-lined 1600×1200 1280×1024

This one is thick-lined 1600×1200 1280×1024

I put one of these up on Minitokyo too, but here I’ll give you multiple versions!

Btw, had to start watching Honey & Clover from the start again T_T (I forgot half the stuff that happened, and never actualyl finished the series anyways). Oh well, its still hilarious, and it’ll pay off when I watch season 2 and am not totally confused.

I think its about time I introduce a slight addiction I’ve recently been afflicted with. A hypocritical one which eats at my soul…

I play World of Warcraft, and I enjoy it.

I’m not sure if this is healthy, but I wake up to WoW, get home to WoW, and soon i think I’ll be sleeping with it too. This nearly matromonial relationship has me on the wrong end of a leash, hopefully the game will let me out for the anime convention next weekend T______T
But I guess the saying is true - I suddenly did find an amazing amount of free time… to play this tripe game.

I used to really hate WoW… so all my friends decided to play it. To do them credit, they put me through level 20 instances with their level 50s, but in retrospect thats somewhat analogous to lighting a chemical fire on me and then ‘dousing’ it with water. Ah well, at least the game exceeded my expectations for both fun and time-wasting! kekeke

Btw, the wallpaper on the top is something I made quite a while back, but decided to touch up today. And I needed an excuse to post T_____T

Welcome to short-circuited!

As World of Warcraft has everyone by the balls (according to a credible source, its all you’ll ever need to play the game), I’m not too sure what is to become of this site… But since the blog is finally up, at least we did not suffer a fucking website stillbirth.

To kick things off, that image at the beginning of this post is some hot pr0n I made of a Shakugan no Shana image, its a bit… unfinished, but I don’t want to recolour the whole damn thing. For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about: fear not, I doubt this’ll turn into an animu blog.

Finally, as a side note, here’s some light specs on the computer I just got this weekend:
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
- ATI Radeon XL1800
- Two 1gig ram chips that are supposed to be rated at 2-3-3-5 (lawls, yeah right)
- Haro
