German Lady in a golden dress circa 1000
Well, this is just one of my newest anime drawings. I have settled down on the anime style. Still, my drawings looks different than those of the average mangaka artist. The main thing is that I tend to sketch a lot from life. My people for the most part are anatomically correct, except for the face. These days finding people to sketch from life is hard. Artist models were super cheap in the old days. These days if you want to sketch someone they usually refuse and get all paranoid. It is even worse for men. They ask ladies to...
German Lady in a dress circa 1000s
This is one of the relatively newest drawing that I made. It is a German lady wearing a period dress. I think it belongs to the 1000s. Dressed like the ones worn by this maiden are known as Elven dresses. If you google elven dress, you will probably run into many that resemble this ones. Most elven maidens in the fantasy worlds wear the same attires. There are some regional variance. For example, I remember seeing elven maidens wearing leaf clothing. Then again, leaf and flowers is the usual attire worn by fairy people. Fairies do not get much attention...
Anime Girl in a Czech girl Costume circa 1000s
The dates I normally put on these drawings are a bit of approximation. Most sourcebooks and books on the subject can only give a cursory view on each outfit. There was a lot of regional variations and the like. There are also costumes that are endemic to just specific villages. So, when I say, Czech you must take it with a grain of salt. The Czech people used to get around. This was the Celtic way. Along their trips they used to trade and pillage a lot of people. Celtic maidens were bound pick up fashion trends from other maidens...
Anime Girl in a red dress circa 1890
Today it was a day like any other day. I finally got started with the second volume of my manga. It only has three volumes, so I better pick up the pace. People tend to go a little crazy with the lengths of the mangas. I suppose it is for sales and whatnot. Still, I was always a big fan of those that ended in a single volume. Even two to three volumes is dandy. Most of the time, the longer comics just felt like they were doing fillers between plot developments. There have been some occasions when the concept...
Anime girl in a Green Dress Circa 1833
As of late, I have been working hard on the collection section. I have been uploading new pictures and adding a little bit of a description. Something to get the ball rolling, sort of speak. It is good for the website to do these minor changes. Most people do not bother, but I take my website development seriously. Well, as serious as the next fellow. There is only so much one can do in this one woman show that I am hosting. From time to time, my brother throws me a hand or a leg. It is useful, but he...
