Anime Drawing Poses Reclining Maiden Leotard
Today, I did one of my silly practice drawings. It is important to get those drawings done every once in a while. In this one, I was mimicking the pose of the creation of Adam by Michelangelo. Most of my practice drawings feature maidens. I am good at drawing women. It is the form I am most familiar with. So, with these practice drawings, I do not fuss too much about the body type of the maiden. Well, there really isn’t much to talk about this drawing. What you see is what you get. Bye.
Blue Fairy Spring Butterfly BJD Doll Chateau Photoshoot
Today, I did a solo bjd doll photoshoot. I finally got around to changing the look of my Blue Fairy bjd doll. The wings pose a big challenge when dressing the doll. I can only have her wear two-piece outfits. Dresses require some lateral, fourth dimensional thinking. I will deal with it when I deal with it.

Hollow Knight Mantis Lords x Judgement of Paris Art Parody
Today, I felt like doing a new Hollow Knight Art Parody. After looking at a bunch of paintings, I settled on a funny theme. The Judgement of Paris is based on a mythological story.

She threw a Golden Apple into the middle of the banquet. The Golden Apple had these words: For the Fairest One. In modern terms, this line means that the Golden Apple goes to the prettiest one....
Manga Reviews: Uzumaki, MW, Dororo, The Princess Knight, and Others
Uzumaki Manga Review This is one of the most disturbing mangas I have ever read. It follows in the strange tradition of bizarre Japanese horror movies, like the Grudge. This one is about a town that was cursed by the spiral or Uzumaki. It may sound a bit lame; however, it was handled brilliantly thematically. Most of the time, I had no idea what the hell was going on. Some of the chapters are too disturbing for me to go into. Still, if you like horror movie skits this is a good graphic novel to read. The manga has about...
Gustav Klimt Can’t Paint Feet
I was reading a biography of Gustav Klimt while I was in the can. I like to read while I am doing my business. It is a good way to relax and do something productive with my time. I was looking at the paintings and drawings over the top when I noticed something peculiar. Gustav Klimt can’t paint feet. Well. It is a bit of an exaggeration. He has drawn feet before, but the mere act of drawing them frustrates him. The features painting above is the inspiration of this blog. One foot shows signs of being redrawn like 100...
