Kiki

This is a picture of Kiki I did in Photo Shop CS3. This drawing is dedicated to Lucy because she loves the movie. This is NOT my Character, Kiki is the character made by studio gibli. This is only a rendition of it, it is NOT my idea.

Thanks.

All comments on coloring may be on this blog BUT ALL comments about the line art absolutely MUST be on her blog. This was done on Photo Shop CS3. I am also open for any other collaborations people want to do. E-mail me if you want to do a art collab, I will be happy to do it ^-^.

Thank you for letting me do this wonderful piece, Desert Plume.

Shuriken Chibi........ By M.E.F

2009-05-25T10:39:00.000-07:00

Click to enlarge image I just started drawing chibis so I have a long way to go. Anyways, this was an ATC ( link ) I did on my older blog. It is amazing what you cane find in your image files right. I sort of re-did Shuriken (the ATC's name.) Maybe I should go back and re-do all of the ATCs I have done ^-^'.

This is my character as there is a copy right in the right hand corner so please no copying withought permission.

Info on Shurriken:

Age: ?

B-Day: ?

Likes: Mochi

Dis-likes: people.

Status: Warrior/ Ninja

Info: Shurriken is a pessimist and is very serious most of the time. She barely ever smiles and keeps to her self. Being a warrior, she specializes in what she is called, a shuriken. Shuriken are throwing stars which ninjas use in battle. She is trained in the arts of ninjustu (ninja arts) and usually wears dark cloths, unlike the picture above.

OK, Hope you guys like it! ^-^.

Thanks!

Copic skin tone test

2009-05-24T09:47:00.001-07:00

Yesterday I was able to go to my local art store and purchase a skin tone for my work. This is a test I did to see how it turned out. I am pretty happy with the gradation in the skin, but it needs a little orange I think. Click image to enlarge it.

Thanks!

Mother's Day Card!........... By M.E.F

2009-05-10T19:26:00.000-07:00

WOOOHOO! I made a Mother's Day card for my Mom! You may wonder: "Why do you use this character? she looks like some goofy, polka dot shirt, wanna be super hero." The truth is: One night I asked my parents what super hero they would make up and Mom came up with: " A Super Girl with flame powers and a polka dot shirt!" And so, this is the result!

Mom's Comment: It was made for ME. And, it is MINE ALL MINE!!!!!! I love it (as I'm sure you do too!)

This Has Been Expressed to you live from the artist's kitchen table.

Thank you for watching, Have a good night.

P.S: THIS IS A COLLAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Materials used: Tissue paper, Copic Markers, Prisma Color markers, Colored pencils, Drafting pens, and paper

This is my first Artist Trading Card to be made on Photoshop CS3!!!! I like how it turned out, but it is a tiny bit bigger than the original height of an ATC. If you want to trade, please E-mail me. My E-mail is in the side bar to the left in the "welcome to my blog." page.

Done with: ATC template, Pencil, and Photoshop CS3.

Add highlights with a paint pen.
Finish!!
