Femton.  
Man, I sure am active this weekend, huh? Of course, that means I'm less active with my schoolwork... -sweatdrop-

I started reading Axis Powers Hetalia last night after seeing a piece of fanart on dA, and then I got hooked. Read everything the Hetalia community here on LJ had translated so far, and I'm waiting eagerly for more, especially the anime~

Anyway, I thought I'd pop my art cherry here on LJ and post something. This here's one of my OCs, my SkullCandy headphones. He doesn't have a name yet, though... If anyone can think of a fitting name, I'm open for suggestions and/or inspiration! /o/

So, here he is. (Lulz, what's with the Bakura outfit?) He's Chibi's (my iPod) junior by a year. He's carefree, easy-going and clingy. He hangs around Chibi whenever he has the chance, clinging to him and insisting on calling him Senpai. Chibi can't stand him and just wants him to stop being such a stalker. But alas, Chibs won't get rid of him anytime soon. They are, after all, my iPod and headphones. Can't separate that, can you.
I tried inking and colouring this piece with my ProMarkers, but I smudged the lineart like whoah so it turned out pukeworthy. Instead~


I made this to practice with the markers, can't say it turned out horrible, but I still need experience before I can produce anything greater than this. Yes, this boy is an albino, as a reference to the fact that my headphones are the Ti White Fur model. Perhaps I should've shaded his hair with grey/silver tones instead to make the reference all-out, but albinos' hair does shade in blonde hues, so... Argh, whatever. I didn't make his hair ABSOLUTE WHITE like it should be anyway.

And for those of you who haven't seen my headphones, here's a pic from SkullCandy's official website. I added the furry pads to the phones as well, so they're all fuzzy and keep my ears warm during cold January mornings~


That was all, I believe.

Peace out, peeps. -hug- (>´w`)>

LOL, electronics and accessories OCs I'm loving it. He looks like a sweet boy :). I would suggest shading the hair in less saturated colors, because right now it looks like his skintone. And you can totally afford to be more daring with shading in general! Starker shadows and highlights, hell yeah.
You make me want to give my markers another try :>

Haha, yeah, I basically use all the same markers for his skin and for his hair. His base skin tone is Ivory, which I shade with Blush. I shade his hair with strokes of Ivory, Vanilla and lastly Apricot. But yeah, they all look very similar indeed.

But I don't know what else to use to get that really bright, but still hinting blonde look. I could buy some really bright yellows, but I don't think that looks as nice, soft and natural as these shades do. And I'm probably going to be braver in my shading//highlighting later, but it will take time. I need experience with this medium first. :3

Lol. You're made out of win, sis.

Acutally, albino's hair can shade in silver and grey as well, I know because I've had one for a classmate, and his hair shaded in silver. It's rare, but it happens.


FYI - Yuri-chan has dubbed him Whitey. No exceptions. And he's cute ^^ I like him =D

Oooh~? How so? (Strokemyegoplz.)

Well, I'll consider it then, since it would be more accurate to the headphones. Though I must admit that the light blonde shading gives it a softer, smoother and more natural look in my opinion. Not as IN YOUR FACE BISHOUNEN as other white-haired guys, rofl. We'll see what I end up with.

He is cute, isn't he? It's okay for me to think he's cute, isn't it? Right? Right? ;w;
