A gift for... Maiku!

Post by YoshiMars »

I know it's about a month from the deadline and a few weeks early for Christmas... but I finished Maiku's secret santa gift and I wanted to post it! I ended up finishing all five requests and scanning them yesterday. So in an effort to start the "Secret Santa" ball rolling here is the first one!

First request: A Sketch of Luna standing in a field of Sakura trees.

Image
I know the tree is a bit thick (quite a bit actually) but believe it or not I had a hard time finding a referance for one, the one I found had a rather thick trunk so that's what I drew. I don't draw Luna very often but it's good practice! A few glaring anatomy issues that never worked out, but I still like it anyway!

Second request: A cute chibi drawing of Alex handing Luna a christmas gift.
Third request: A cute chibi drawing of cat-size Nall nestled with a fish plushie.
Fourth request: Another chibi drawing showing Mia kissing a blushing Nash on the cheek under a mistletoe.

Image

These requests I did all on one page, and this one I may re-do before the holidays arrive, as the only one I really like was the Nall one. Chibis are usually my forte but I was having a bit of trouble with 'em. Still... Nall was really cute (I thought) so here it is! I'd also love to do a real size Nash and Mia picture like that... But later!

Fifth request: A detailed faceshot sketch of any of the characters from LSSSC with shadows and color.

Image

Here is my favorite picture of the bunch, as you can see I choose to do Jessica as I felt she did not get enough love from me and I needed to practice her. The colored pencils I used don't show up wonderfully on the scanner... I may need to adjust the settings and try again. But I'm still happy that I got to color something (since it happens to rarely)!

So there you have it! An early Merry Christmas to Maiku! I had fun with the requests and I would most happily do this again! Expect another round of Chibis in the near future, and if I'm feeling particularly ambitious a non-chibbified version of that Nash and Mia picture!

Nall is cute, but this time the Mia and Nash one is really sweet.

I absolutely LOVE this!! ^_^ THANK YOU SO MUCH YoshiMars

I especially love Luna and the Cherry tree because it was a special request. And you did all 5 of my requests... I'm so amazed that I don't know what to say ^^

You are an amazing artist and I happily accept these gifts. The chibis are adorable like I portrayed and the Jessica faceshot is colored too ^^ You must have quite a bit of time on your hands.

Who would have thought Christmas gifts could be so endearing? ^^

Gosh... Thanks! *blushes* I appreciate the encouragement from you guys! to answer your question Maiku, yes I had a lot of time on Tuesday (since I'm in finals week I have no classes save for said finals so I had a free day Tuesday!), so that allowed me to get these done. I know its early but I was so happy I finished them all I didn't want to wait! Though this means I can draw more now too.... :D
