On the other end of the LoD spectrum things are definitely heating up. I had finally picked up manga-style drawings proper- after years of exposure, and months of unsuccessful depictions, two T1.1 pictures came out of the wash this afternoon. Both pictures were scaled down depictions of their T1.7 counter parts. The first was a bust portrait of Jacqueline Hui (a fictional character), the second was a replicate shot of (take 2) of Mio.
T1.1 pictures have proven to be conceptually different in design and execution from even their T1.7 equivalents. While the latter emphasizes on the realism of proportionality, dynamic effects and texture-tonality, T1.1 forgoes the majority of such considerations. Instead, it focuses particularly on aesthetic appeal, and moderation in exaggeration of specific feminine traits. Simple proportions were used to outline the general facial shape and position of the eyes; apart from that, everything was nearly drawn as deemed-fit.
Not very simple, in light of the fact that I have been relying heavily on my ruler for the past 9 drawings. I know it sounds weird for a person who's churning realistic-looking portraits to be absolutely stumped by something cartoon-ish. But trust me, its easy to churn out bad manga, but to keep moe essence without turning it into fan service requires LOTS of self-restraint.
Lolita complex, how complex.
I guess they worked out, pretty surprising once again. Jacq looks like she wanted ice cream and is plotting how she can hijack the ice-cream truck without getting caught. Mio looks like a princess in a night club- singing her character song "Hello Little Girl". Behind, pedobear lurks...
hmmmmmm, lots of love huh- till then, L4D3 witch killers; moe is life (OOPS).
Ice cream? (dunno why there is an Indian dot....)
our (very moe) singing witch killer
"Hey Hey Hey! Hello Little Girl!!!!"
