"A large iron anchor withstanding the corrosion of the sea and scornful of the barnacles and oysters that harass the hulls of ships, sinking polished and indifferent through heaps of broken glass, toothless combs , bottle caps, and prophylactics into the mud at harbor bottom- that was how he liked to imagine his heart. Someday he would have an anchor tattooed on his chest."

The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea, Yukio Mishima


This book is beautifully written but sorta dark and disturbing. I don't recommend it. lol
But ever since I read it I wanted to draw my version of this boy that's in it.. and who is actually meant to be around twelve years old... hahah oh well.
His leg is really in the wrong position.


And a lonely shepherd.

falling and professors

friday at two

Woah more than one post today!! Admittedly, I drew the one before on another day..
And I just realised how similar this guy looks to the one below.
But then, most of my guys look pretty similar.. :S

the cobbler at night

The boy in the last post grown up?
lol

oh they dried

I draw so chaotically there was no room on the page for the boy to grow.

not simple

I did draw stuff today.. but the ink isn't dry so I can't scan it in right now. lol
(good excuse for missing a post?)

But I'll show you guys a manga artist I really like at the moment. She's a japanese artist named Ono Natsume. A friend just showed me her copy of this book briefly and then .. <3
So I don't actually know much about her, and I havent really seen much of her stuff. hahah
But what I've seen is really good.

But it's hard to even find any images of her stuff online.. Apparently she's done a few other books, and does yaoi under a cover name lol. But my friend got the book in korea.. and I don't think much of her stuff is well known, she seems more independant-y.

Must buy this book off amazon one day.
Even if i don't understand it lol

a couple more

I should have coloured this better, but I only liked the monkey hahah.
Next time he will have the starring role.

deer

Reality is too grey atm so I've been sleeping whenever I can
and I updated my r4 card so that i can play zelda
the princess says she wants me to save her..
lol

no matter how I shopped that image up there, it didn't look like how it did on paper
It looked too contrasty straight after the scan, and i turned off all the auto modes!
Must just be cause.. its only pencil.
