Naia-chan's Fanart Gallery

    Here I've assembled many of my better fanarts from the past fifteen years or so, which is about as long as I've been doing and keeping them!  A few notes before we get started:

    Now, on to the fanarts!

Other Pics

Copies First; Avoid Them If You Wish

 Female ASC Officer's Armour B&W copy of your standard armour pic.  Looks a bit flat to me, so I don't like it much.
 Hoverbike in Perspective Copy of a hoverbike in 3/4 perspective.  Looks okay, I guess, but for the colouring. . .
 Dana (or Jeanne) Copy of Dana (or Jeanne, take your pick) from "Southern Cross."  Standard front view, nothing special, except I thought the eyes looked vacant and touched them up about a year after drawing it to give them more depth.
 My Prized Max Portrait If I remember correctly, this was either a copy or based on another Max I saw.  Anyway, it's the old drawing I like best and the only one I've physically re-coloured.
 Nupetiet-Vernitzs B&W copy of a T'sentrati flagship.  Looks a bit warped to me, but they're so hard to draw, I excuse it.
 Princess Copy of a kawaii comic book princess.  Pretty good for an early copy pic.
 Queadlunn-Rau B&W copy of a T'sentrati female's powered armour.  It's not as old as these others, because it's my second draft, done long after the first.  The first one got a really bad colour job and was rejected :-P .
 Sentinels Miriya Copy of Mir from a comic book, but sadly, I can't draw her cool hair well :-( .
 Sentinels Max Copy of Max from a comic book.  I think I did his spacesuit wrong, but the comic's B&W, so I have an excuse.

Game Characters

    Mostly from a "Robotech" RPG campaign I used to run, but Jared was from a "GURPS" game I played, Stan was from a game crossing "TMNT" with "Heroes Unlimited", Keiko and Kariko were informal chat RP charas, Jo and Chinika were made for "Court Intrigue", and Drew was from a short-lived "Pretender" PBEM.

 The Chariot Probably hard to explain who she is if you don't know the game ^_^; . The jist of it is her name is Jo Kim, she represents The Chariot tarot card, and she's the most fun-loving S&M dominatrix ever. So if that doesn't make you curious, I dunno what will ^_^;;; !
 Chibi Jared My favourite game character I've ever played, drawn as a kawaii sleepy child with his teddy bear!
 Chinika Pnyango I really didn't wanna make one of those Zodiac Senshi thingies, but was talked into it in the C-box. I still need to do a proper paper drawing of her fuku, but here's a lineart portrait. I meant her to be plain-looking, but no matter how much I worked on the pic, she was beautiful anyway, so I finally just went with it. *shrugs*
 Princess-y Chinika I like this pic a lot, but my scanner really messed it up :-( .  I tried to fix as many of the weird light spots as I could.  Some of the shade transitions still look a little weird, but I suck at image repair too much to fix that.  Anyway, there's a lot of light in this pic, to make it that you can see her features.  If not for all the light, the pencils I used for shadows would've been midtones ^_^ .  To make her gown less monochromatic, I used a lot if different shades of pink and purple in it, but I consider it "officially" to be a solid mauve.
 Drew A childlike, clairvoyant character with aspirations of greatness. I drew her once while the game was still on, but it sucked, so I redrew it. . . five months later :-P . Her hair still isn't quite right, but I love those glasses on her. If I can't find another game to play her in, I may write a "Pretender" fic just to use her again!
 Rose in Flight Uniform That pose looks very stock. . .may have been pirated. . .  I did love Rose, though; she was so cool and pretty!
 Rose, Gus, and Unnamed Friend That's Rose in the middle, Gus on the right, but I'm afraid their friend never got a name, or even appeared outside that drawing. . .  I put much more detail in that BG than usual, and even included a gag UFO like I often did in those days.
 Augustine Nguyen An important character from the RT RPG I ran, seen here in flight uni. . . looks like a bad hair day to me. . .
 Jaki A black and gold halfmoon crowntail betta fish who was a gift from Neo Queen Serenity to Galaxia when she was guest-starring in a holiday special on Court Intrigue. He's also the official board mascot of This Chaotic Universe.
 Jared O'Connor My favourite game character ever, he was a lecherous Irish pianist with uncontrollable pyrokinesis.  He looks so young and sweet in this pic, though!  I think it's his best one.
 Framed Jared Pic Another of his few okay pics.  (Can you tell he's a Trekkie?)  The pic's in pencil, but the dark BG might be pastel (I forget).  The best part is the copper and brass picture frame, so I left it on for the scan.
 Jo Kim I rather like this portrait of her, especially since it shows a bit of what looks like a very cool tattoo on her back ^_^ . I'll have to draw the rest of that bird someday, if I have the talent.
 Kariko A bit hard to explain her. . . just suffice it to say she's a high-functioning zombie baby, and I seem to be the only one who likes her -_-; . Originally I was just going for kawaii-ness in this pic, but decided to go a bit creepier route, thus the deep shadows, purposely twisted BG, and slightly demented facial expression ^_^ . You can see there's something not quite right about that kid, just hard to know exactly what. . .
 Masami Kayibanda B&W pic of another great RT RPG character, here looking like a beautiful African queen.  I loved her beauty, bravery, and her love of pranks, especially when she painted the bull's eye on Hayley's VT.  *giggles*  Actually, it's one of my best drawings, even if you don't know who she is at all!
 Nicolette Nguyen Gus' little sister. . . looks like a troublemaker, but she was really a sweetie!
 Philomene Gowon B&W pic of the leader of the VT squad in my RT game.  Though she's a woman, everyone called her "Phil."
 Phineas Hardison Jared's best friend; never appeared in the game because he was dead, but shaped Jared in the game a lot nonetheless.  Oh, and that's Jared's "Kiss Me, I'm Irish!" shirt he's wearing :-) .
 Pixie Carruthers Rather unimportant game character, but I liked to draw her because she was sexy!
 Zhou Rose Rose in a floral dress.  Apologies for the bit of blue, but I changed my mind after I started and had to put black over it :-P .
 Pixie, Looking Terribly Sexy Told you she was sexy!  I like her snake and dagger tattoo. . . and the outfit doesn't hurt, either. . .  I don't think the kana on the side really say "Pixie," but it was the best I could figure at the time :-P .
 Stan The Siamese cat-girl character Stan used to play.  The character's name was Stacey Danielle, which other PCs shortened to "Stan," which carried over to the player and stuck!  Kind of annoying character, though. . . all of hers were. . . 
 Teen Keiko reading Keiko is from an informal chat RP. I've drawn her several times at various ages, but this is the only one I like enough so far to post here. Isn't she pretty?
 Cao Vinh A fun and important RT RPG character, Vinh always livened up dull situations.  RL girls seem to really go for his looks, so view with caution.
 Hikaru and Rica My beloved Sims, Hikaru and Rica Sakamoto ^_^ . I drew this for a Cafepress store I hoped to have, 'cause I figure my Sims don't count as copyrighted charas. I wrote "onna" rather than "shoujo" 'cause I don't see them as "girls", so the pic is called "Women's Love".
 Yukie Gomen, I forget her family name. . .  Yukie was the kawaii daughter of a pretty cool game character, and if I remember, she had the sweetest little-girl crush on Gus!

My Fic Characters

    This category includes Naia-chan-tachi, since the T'sentrati character is different from the real me.

 5th Anniversary Naia SD Naia drawn for my page's fifth anniversary.  Done in a more carefree style than usual, with huge eyes and pretty, more unkempt hair :-) .  Tried to draw her in perspective, but failed miserably, gomen.  No idea why she's wearing that fuku, but doesn't she look just adorable?
 Naia Zifu, Full-sized I guess you have to take my word, since there's no size comparison.  This is my least-favourite Naia pic, anyway, because I don't like her expression.
 Sailor Starhunter One of the Queen's Senshi from my chibi-Lights fics, with a rare "civilian" portrait to the side.  Looks like she and Yusenya use the same barber. . .  Her portrait is kawaii, though, isn't it?  Credit for her name to the Sera-myu songwriters; when I was thinking of names for those Senshi, my brain kept saying, "faaji faaji faaji faaaaji!  faaji faaji faaji faaaaji!"
 Hunter napping in a field The Chinese-ish clothing makes her resemble girl-Ranma, gomen ^_^; !  Yeah, I know the BG is cheesy, but when are mine not?
 Kaeisuan Triibola Handsome, genius son of Quelt'san and Naia; a bit too naive for his own good, but I love him anyway.  Since I actually drew him before his father, I guess it's Quelt'san who looks like Kaeisuan, not vice-versa.  I think Kaeisuan's more kawaii, though!
 Naia, Micronised Naia looks pretty in this pic, but the eyes creep me out :-P .  I want to draw her more anyway; this was her first pic, and I want to show a little how her character's evolved since then.
 Magdomilla Rau I love Maggie, don't you?  Naia's XO and (unconfirmed) former lover from the Isa, spoof Senshi from PTSN, crazy lady who runs Paranka. . .she wears so many hats so well!  Maybe I should draw and/or write her more someday. . .
 Murasaki Hanae in Full Triton Costume The fictional myu actress I made up for Triton, wearing my best idea of what her costume would look like in a real stage.  The actress out of costume was on the pic, but she wasn't kawaii enough, so I cut her off :-P .
 Cherub Nami Nami as a cherub in a heart, drawn as a Valentine for my online friends.
 Nami in a Dress Nami's first day of school getup, including the ribbon she almost had to wear.  No wonder she's so sad!
 Nami With a Toy Fushigidane My favourite Nami-chan pic!  She looks adorable here, and she's holding a giant plushie Fushigidane that looks almost real!
 Nami's Portrait I'm thinking this is her school picture.  She's got on the jewellery her grandparents gave her as a welcome gift.
 Sailor Triton She looks a bit older here, to me, but still kawaii.  I designed her Triton fuku myself!  Do you like it?
 Unabara Nami The first Nami pic I drew, just sitting and waving.  It's the pic she looks most like a little boy in, and I meant it that way; I wanted people to understand the confusion.
 Quelt'san Triibola I've never stated his size in that pic, but by the serious tone, I'd guess full-sized.  Post-Naia, micronised Quelt'san is a much more cheerful fellow.
 Sailor Starraider One of the Queen's Senshi from my chibi-Lights fics, with a rare "civilian" portrait to the side.  Since her colour is yellow, her fuku was the hardest to do, so I tried to use different shades.  I really hate her hairstyle, but I do like her grey-haired/golden-eyed "wolf-like" colouring.
 Raider looking at the moonlight Still not happy with this pic, despite all the time I spent on it, but here it is, anyway.  The posing seems stiff, the sheer part of her pjs doesn't show up right, and yeah, like all my BGs, this one sucks :-P . I'll try to do her more justice next time.
 Nami As a Real Girl I based her eyes on a RL Japanese actress who had large, oblique eyes, and built her chubby face with its button nose and big, happy smile around that.  I think this is my best "real girl" series picture yet!
 Sailor Starreaper One of the Queen's Senshi from my chibi-Lights fics, with a rare "civilian" portrait to the side.  Since her jewellery was inspired by old National Geographic pics of long-necked African women, I drew her with darker skin and kinkier hair than the rest.  For a Kinmokuseijin, she wears it quite well, don't you think?
 Reaper in the forest Well, this came out about 1000x better than her original pic, didn't it?  I think I got the shape of her eyes wrong, but other than that I like this pic pretty well.  Even the BG isn't as sucky as usual.
 Sailor Naia Pirating Ami-chan's fuku and pose for the spoof fic.  The whole thing started off as a bad joke, with friends saying how Quelt'san liked to see/play with Naia in a Mercury costume, and escalated from there.
 SD Naia Kawaii SD Naia-chan!  This is my favourite Naia pic; she goes SD so well, don't you think?  And if you look closely, she's wearing the striped turtleneck and Elmo shortalls from the PTSN fic.
 SD Nami Nami, on the other hand, doesn't like being SD. . .  Here, she looks very sad and angry, wears Pikachu overalls, and holds an Uranus nuigurumi.
 SD Sailor Triton But as Triton, she doesn't seem to mind!  This pic's okay, but I think POed SD Nami-chan is better.
 Sleepy Nami Nami in her blue footie pajamas, ready for bed.  Looks like her giant 'Dane plushie is, too.
 Teen Nami Speculating on Nami as a teen-ager, and she still looks kawaii.  She has Triton's pink shell tattooed on her inside left ankle, and my RL teen-aged Nami doll does, too!
 Tracey Reilly Honestly, she's not as pretty as I originally thought. . . but a cool character nonetheless, eh?
 Yusenya Kuwai This is my second pic of her; I kept the haircut and shirt logo from the first pic and scrapped the rest!  This one's much more how I imagined her, anyway.  I rather like it :-) .

Copyrighted Characters

 Adam Park The cute and shy second Black Power Ranger, remember?  I drew this to send, along with fanmail, to Johnny Yong Bosch when he used to be on the show.  I doubt he ever got it, though.
 Nakayama Akiko as Uranus  I drew this to send with a fanmail to Akiko, delivered at a performance of SKSDK.  I can only hope she enjoys it, and can read my fanmail okay (written in simple English, as my Japanese still sucks :-P ).
 Sexy Ami You know I had to draw her in the leather outfit Yaten got her into! Part Miss Parker, part Anne Robinson; this is a damned good look for her, don't you think? Gomen, this was the best scan I could get; the colour and contrast are much better IRL.
 Marilyn-style Ami Not as sexy as the Marilyn pic it's meant to resemble, but kind of pretty anyway. It's done in pastels, which I'm not good at, but I do like the colouring on her hair and eyes.
 Ami in a suit I think I'm getting better at drawing Ami, since this looks more like her than any I've done before. Something about the suit makes her seem English. . . maybe the sweater was overdoing it? Should've worked harder on the (last-minute addition) tie pattern, but I rather like it anyway.
 Jaki's aquarium I made this cute little house for Jaki to live in ^_^ . Yes, it goes in this section, 'cause you can see his lovely owner looking in on him.
 Audrey Seiya Almost didn't make it in here for looking too thin, until I remembered it's an Audrey Hepburn-inspired pic. . . as if that woman ever ate :-P . . . Chalked-in BG kinda smudged on all the black, though, gomen :-( . I like her attempt at an Audrey pose and expression, anyway.
 Seiya on the beach A beautiful pic, done in pencils with a pastel BG, of Seiya in a blue sundress, walking barefoot on a beach. I'm quite proud of how I made her look like a real girl for once instead of a boy in a dress, the way I've seen others draw her.
 Beach Galaxia One of the most unlikely pics ever, but I did it ^_^; . I'm still unhappy with my ability to draw in perspective, but other than that I rather like this pic. I really like the fact she has a tan here, as it looks really good next to the brightness of her hair ^_^ .
 Beka Valentine Fairly mediocre, as I'd never drawn her before :-P .  Nonetheless, a copy of this pic went to Lisa Ryder in a fan-scrapbook her fan club was putting together.  She also got a letter and a picture of me. . . as if she'd wanna see my ugly mug :-P . . .
 Ami in a bikini I hate "bikini girl" pics in general, but I saw a pic of an idol I thought strongly resembled Ami, and the resemblance nagged at me until I stole the pose for this pic. Pretty well-shaded, a decent Ami resemblance, and I really like the way her hair came out, so I'm actually pretty happy with this.
 Billy Cranston Another MMPR fanmail gift, this one to David Yost when he used to be on the show.  Billy (shy, genius first Blue Power Ranger) was always my favourite, and I still play with his merchandise even now!  I really wish he'd gotten his fanmail, but again, I really doubt it.
 Cybersix, take two My second portrait of her (as much as could fit on the scanner, anyway), and infinitely better than the first! It's a mixture of the series' animation style and my own, with lots of painful expression in her eyes. Now if I could just do a successful full-fig of her with Data 7, I could die happy. *laughs*
 Taiki and Ami as Cybersix and Data 7 I just adore Ami-chan in that kitty/panther suit, and Taiki-sama so has that C6 glare down! Oddly, I think I draw Taiki as C6 better than I do C6 herself :-P .
 Cybersix My first time drawing her, but I can't decide if I like it or not.  I guess the hair's okay, but I should've done her more like the style she's animated in.  It might've looked better that way.
 Chibi Seiya Adorable little Seiya from my chibi-Lights fics, having dirtied her school uni and scraped up her knee playing Seiya Ball.  I just adore this pic, don't you?
 Chibi Taiki Trying to do Taiki's first appearance from my chibi-Lights fics.  This is my second try; the first was just horrid!  I think this one's more "kawaii but geeky" as I intended.
 Another Chibi Taiki So few people recognised the first chibi-Taiki, I drew another. Three tries, but I still don't like it; she looks too old. Maybe it's the hair?
 Chibi Yaten I drew her sitting on a bench looking utterly bored.  Not as kawaii as intended, but I rather like it, anyway.
 Three Lights as Alvin and the Chipmunks Too big for my scanner, so I scanned it in pieces and put it together.  It was really hard to obscure all the scan lines!  It's an all right pic, I guess, but more for humour than skill.
 Death I drew this years ago for a contest, lost it, and only just found it again. For an old pic, I love this one. She looks adorable! Unfortunately, the pic is done in crayon (what was I thinking?) and the dates on the tombstones are too far apart.
 Ten'ou Haruka This is my rarely-seen first attempt to draw my beloved Haruka-sama.  Unfortunately, there's so little resemblance, you'd never know it's her if I didn't say so :-( .
 Sailor Uranus My first attempt to draw her as Uranus, but still no resemblance :-( .  The best part of the whole pic is the bow :-P , and I had to cover up several major errors in this pic's life.  This was my first major hint I'm unable to draw her well.
 Galaxia being as un-Galaxia-like as possible Yeah, the sketchy blue BG was just me being lazy -_-; . This pic is related to a game I play her in. She's trying very hard not to let anyone know who she is. I think this is a better disguise than just the Earth clothes pic, as I wouldn't know who she is here is I hadn't drawn her myself!
 Galaxia fitting in on Earth Somehow, I think she's still conspicuous ^_^; . This pic is very beautiful, though, so I'm quite proud of it. I even managed to do her hair pretty well!
 A Rapunzel-ish Galaxia This is the second draft of this pic, but it still doesn't look like I wanted :-( . Hopefully it doesn't suck as much as I think it does.
 Yaten As a Go-Go Girl I kind of don't like this pic; it doesn't look very Yaten-like to me.  The outfit is partly borrowed from a Barbie I saw in a book.  Yes, I know the boots and belt don't match the outfit, but if I did them black they'd blend in too much!  Just say they match her hair instead.
 Taiki and Ami at the Grammys Kind of primitive, but I had fun doing it anyway, because I got to draw Ami in that dress! They're both so pretty dressed up, don't you agree? Unfortunately, it scans horribly; the colours are a lot brighter and the contrast and details way better IRL.
 Haruka in a green suit I was trying to draw someone else, but she looked so much like Haruka-sama, I just had to do this alternate version. Surprisingly, this accidental pic is way better than any I've done of her on purpose!
 Haruka Good Luck Charm A girl I know said she needed this for her driving test. Fairly kawaii for a quickie, I guess. *shrugs* The kanji mean "good luck!" according to my dictionary.
 Haruka, rather ecchi Blatantly copied from a photograph found on a webpage. Shading sucks as usual, but otherwise I'm really proud of how this turned out.
 Haruka and Michiru School Couple Eep. . .as you see, I still can't draw them!  I got closer on the eyes here than usual, but everything else is still pretty bad :-P .
 Jo My first time trying to draw Jo from "Bakuretsu Tenshi". It's just a portrait, but I guess it came out all right. *shrugs*
 Khyron Kravshera Okay B&W Khyron/Kamjin sketch.  I think it was originally an envelope pic when I used to do them, but it's turned up elsewhere since.
 Lights In Undies Three Lights in boy bodies, lounging around in undies.  Yeah, I royally screwed up the BG (looks even worse in person, unfortunately -_-; ), but it's not that bad otherwise, I guess.  *shrugs*  Mainly I just drew this so I could tell people, "It's Lights porn!  Porn, I say!"  Er, not quite, I know, but I did draw man-nipples. . .
 Draco Malfoy Drawn completely on a whim.  I'm not sure how much this resembles him (having not yet seen the movie at the time, drew it by one pic on a figure pack), but I think it's kawaii anyway.
 Meg and Jo in love A sweet little pic of Meg snuggling onto Jo's arm. I meant Jo to look impassive, as usual, but I think she came out a bit lovey-looking, too ^_^; . Ah well.
 Miriya With a Gun Kind of messy, but intended to be a B&W pic of Miriya/Millia firing a gun.  The posing was adapted from some pic in a kids' book. . . you can probably tell it was a guy at first. . .  I think the head looks pasted on, but it's not a bad face anyway, so I put it. Gomen, I tried to obscure some of the tape (pic's seen better days), but it came out all distorted instead. *sweatdrops*
 Moody Taiki Not as depressing-looking as I imagined, but I rather like it, anyway, with her pouty face and how her pony is blowing in the wind. I wanted a very delicate blue for the bg, so I covered my fingers in chalk and smudged them all over the paper. *laughs* But I think the bareness of the bg adds to the lonely feeling of the pic, don't you?
 A Myu-type Galaxia This took forever, with all the tiny details, and I'm still not sure I got them all right O_o . Meh, I wish I'd done more with the posing, but the costume gave me enough hell I didn't wanna make the pose hard, too. She looks very different than how I usually draw her, but I rather like it. Oddly enough, I think that's the best hair I've ever drawn for her ^_^;;; .
 Nova portrait A beautiful Nova (not Lana) portrait I drew for Alex.  It looks even prettier IRL!  I was so tempted to keep it for myself instead. . . he's just lucky I like him, or I would've!
 Nova Satori It's Nova, not Lana, simply because I drew it for my friend Alex on his Nova crush.  (Hope you don't mind I borrowed your scan, but I couldn't scan it myself when it's over there.)  This is done in pencils as usual, but the cloud BG is in chalk.
 Odango Galaxia Yes, she blatantly stole that hairstyle, but are you gonna be the one to tell her she can't use it? Despite the lazy BG, I am seriously in love with this pic. Why did I never notice how insanely beautiful this woman is before?
 Taiki done entirely in purple It was bigger than my scanner bed, so this is just as much as would fit, but I think I got everything that was important. I used maybe eight or ten different shades of purple, from lavender to orchid to violet, in this, but even scanning at a really high res, they didn't all show as well as they do IRL :-( . I really like the mood of this pic, though-- darker and more depressing than any of my earlier Taiki.
 Ami As a Real Girl (new version) I like this infinitely more than the one I had :-) . She looks prettier and more convincingly Asian here, and I finally captured the perpetual sadness in her eyes! I'm very proud of this one :-) .
 Ami As a Real Girl (PGSM-inspired) The original version of the above, drawn because I'm so unhappy with Hama Chisaki, Ami-chan's live television actress.  (Not just her looks, but her performance, both of which were completely opposite of any other Ami-chan version I know :-( .  *pokes her*) This is how a real, live, black-haired Ami-chan should've looked! (Resemblance to Chieco unintentional, and only just noticed. *sweatdrops*) A really beautiful, t-shirt or poster worthy pic :-) .
 Haruka As a Real Girl This was really hard. . . I drew her with Asian features because she's Japanese, but when I coloured her in her right anime colours, she looked weird. . .  I still don't think I did her pretty enough, but it's the best I could do.
 Taiki As a Real Girl Since the Lights are aliens, not Japanese, I could draw her with a more exotic appearance.  I rather like that nose on her, but I think the "big alien eyes" bit got a little carried away.  Considering doing another version based on Akiko. . . you know, in case their alien race could actually pass for Japanese. . .
 SD Nova Another Nova (not Lana) drawn for Alex.  I think this was a scan I did before I gave the pic away.  It's not as good as the other Nova, but okay for an SD done by me.
 SD Uranus and Neptune See?  I'm not good at SD :-P .  I think this was my first one, though, so it's the worst.  The faces are passable; it's just the rest of the pic I'm not fond of.
 Sei underwater, with fish! Another birthday gift for Stephane. Not sure if he likes Sei, but he digs underwater chicks, so yeah. . .
 Seiya and Abbie Seiya cuddling with sleeping Abbie (my friend's character). I purposely left out details and drew simply, and only outlined a bit in light-blue marker for a kind of spooky/dreamlike quality. Kawaii for an experiment.
 Sera A photocopy of a drawing I did on a postcard to enter a contest.  Got that?  Anyway, it's Sera, as seen in "Aftermath."  I do like it, apart from the neck. . .I went through a "big neck" phase once after mundanes criticized my anime pics for having small necks.  I regret that phase so much now!
 Three Lights As Shonen Knife I saw a cool pic of Shonen Knife sitting on a live sofa (in the "Happy Hour" CD) and somehow it made me think of Three Lights.  Change the sofa into Kakyuu, the clothes to their Senshi colours, and this is what you get!  It's pencil except some lines are in wide-line black marker.  It doesn't fit on a scanner, so I scanned it in halves and pieced it together to approximate the real thing.
 Ami swimming Yup, he finally got me to do it, too. *wonders how he does that* This is the pic of Ami-chan swimming I drew for Stephane's birthday. I added the water and the sunlight shining down into it by computer, but the pic I drew all on my own.
 Taiki and Ami cuddling I decided kinda last-minute I wanted to draw this as a "birthday present" for Ami-chan. I guess it's a sweet idea, but yeah, you can tell it's rushed -_-;;; .
 Taiki and Ami reading together Despite all the time and effort put into it, it's not that good, gomen. Poor Ami-chan, her face looks awful :-( ! I'd redraw it if I thought I could do any better, but the posing is hell, gomen.
 Taiki in a yellow camisole Kind of evil-looking, but she's a semi-reformed vampire in the chat RP I drew this from, so I'll let it slide.
 Taiki-sama all dressed up I drew this for a PBEM I was in (she wore that to a dinner), but it scans really badly, gomen. IRL it's all sparkly with glitter (simulating beadwork-- no seed beads around, gomen) and crystal sequins! I was feeling tacky when I made it :-P .
 Taiki In a Koduck Hat A kawaii pic of Taiki in a Koduck hat, the continuation of an old joke that was never that funny to begin with.
 Taiki, Almost Ecchi That fic scene was just too good not to inspire fanart!  It's Taiki, just woken up and wearing only a partly-buttoned shirt.  Her hair looks close to how mine used to look in the morning!  *examines pic*  And it looks like she might've stolen my glasses as well.  Right now this is my favourite Taiki drawing :-) .
 Taiki From a Dream Based on a similar, but manga, Taiki I saw in a dream.  This is my second draft; the first became a gift, but went unappreciated :-( .  The original was done in chalk; this one is (cheap) pastel, has a prettier BG, and included the glasses (they were in the dream, but not the first drawing).  Yet another version, line art done in lavender gel pen, was one of my fanmail gifts to Ono Hikari.  I do hope she received and enjoyed it!
 Taiki as Pop Art An intellectual Taiki in school uniform and glasses, coloured in a bright, pop art style.  I hated the pop art colouring at first, but now I think it's the best part of the pic.
 Taiki Kou Mini-poster The first time I drew my beloved Taiki-sama. . . or the second draft of my first drawing, anyway.  It's a small poster, but too big for a scanner, so I scanned it in halves and pieced it together to approximate the real thing.  Turns out, she's one of few anime characters I can draw pretty well.
 Taiki's tattoo Second draft trying to figure what her tattoo looks like. I know a red rose would last longer, but white is her rose, and it looks great as it is, so I left it. Even if it was done while drunk, I hope she'll learn to love it as much as I do :-) . This is threatening to take over as my favourite Taiki-sama pic :-) .
 Taiki as Twiggy "Twiggy no minisukaato de, Twiggy mitaina poosu de. . ."  Taiki just strikes me as a girl who likes retro, so here she wears a mod dress and Twiggy haircut, doing Twiggy's pose. Unfortunately, the flesh scans too orange, for some reason :-( .  It's a pretty cool pic, nonetheless.
 A thoughtful male Seiya I'd have to say male because of the size of the shoulders vs hips. . . possibly the hip shape, too. . . *shrugs* Anyway, I guess it's not too bad, considering I never could do Seiya well. At least the hair came out fairly well, even if the rest is mediocre.
 Vachon standing by a brick wall Yup, I actually finally drew him ^_^ . I like this pic-- he's all kawaii and anime-ish, and I managed not to make the stubble look stupid. I had no good ref pics on hand for his jacket, so I kinda winged it. Hope I didn't mess it up too much.
 Vampire Taiki I did this one night on a whim with pencils and pastels. It's a portrait of Taiki-sama as a vampire. . . as she tends to go repeatedly in RP chats -_-; . . . Somehow she came out wearing way too much make-up -_-; .
 Vampiru It's a very close vampire-y portrait that was meant to be vaguely creepy, but the way I draw fangs always looks too sweet for that -_-; . Despite that, I do rather like this pic. . . makes me wanna send a copy via fanmail to Hikari-sama. . .
 Vampiru looking freaked out Her dad must've done something, to make her look like that ^_^ ! The expression is more understated than I would've liked to do, but I was trying to keep some Hikari-sama resemblance, which is harder to do with an exaggerated expression. So I went a more subtle, semi-realism route.
 Vampiru in black Yeah, I got lazy and didn't do a proper BG where I should've. . . and I still can't do perspective to save my life. . . but I guess this is an all right pic, anyway. *shrugs*
 Vampiru all sad Yeah, I still can't do profiles or perspective, but I guess I like this pic okay. I was gonna go for tears, but thought that might be a bit much, so I settled for this.
 Yaten as a Victoria's Secret Angel I love drawing Yaten-- no matter what you draw her wearing or doing, she always looks great ^_^ !  She's modelling lacy pink undies and wings in this one.  I think I gave her too much cleavage shadow, and that hand totally sucks, but it's a decent pic besides that. . . probably owing more to her beauty than my skill.
 Ironic Angel Galaxia My holiday '07 greeting for my OL friends. Originally I was gonna draw someone else as my ironic angel, but when this suggestion came up in the CI box I had to go with it ^_^ . Of course, to stick with the "ironic angel" theme, she's got that evil look in her eye and is holding a stolen starseed. I think I could've done a better job drawing her if I weren't so pressed for time, but I rather like it, anyway.
 Yaten as Amelie I seem to like doing movie chara-inspired pics lately. This one didn't turn out half as well as I'd hoped, but maybe it's good enough, anyway. Against my usual policy, I doctored the pic with my crappy image-editing program into something almost resembling the movie poster. I really don't like altering pics by computer-- I'd rather people see how well I can draw rather than how well I can just edit crappy pics into looking all right by computer-- but just this once I'll make an exception, for comic value.
 Yaten Kou Portrait Yaten's portrait with lots of earrings.  This is my second draft; the first was done in chalk, but looked too pastel, so I did it over in dark pencils. I really like this one :-) .
 Yaten blowing a kiss Not as many earrings as the one above, but she does have a great navel ring with dangly stars! This is my new favourite Yaten pic :-) .
 Yaten and Ustarda Made to go with the Seiya+Abbie experimental pic, it's my friend's character Ustarda in simplistic line-art holding Yaten, accented with green pencil (because I had no pale-green marker :-P ). Star looks so like Haruka-sama when not coloured. . .
 Yawning Haruka Not sure I like this pic. *shrugs* Maybe vaguely cute, but not much more positive to say about it. Ah well.
 Yellow Mini-poster Yellow Lancer/Dancer/Belmont (just pick one) in a blue Chinese-style dress.  I freehand-drew all those flowers myself!  A pretty pic done in chalk, scanned in two parts, and pieced together.  The (bad) kanji say "Kiiro," but I still can't tell is his name's "Yellow" or "Kiiro" for real; need to watch more sub videos to know for sure.
 The Les Gala-ish Galaxia The one from the game where she's trying to be as un-Galaxia-like as possible, here wearing a pretty yellow dress that laces up at the back, although she doesn't dress that way in the game.  I think I was half in a myu-ish mindset and wishing we could've seen her in a pretty gown there when I drew this ^_^; .
 Yaten's wedding After a couple of tries, I designed these Kinmokusei wedding clothes for Yaten and my friend's character, Ustarda. The little pattern is kinmokusei flowers, or meant to be :-P (I can't draw them well, gomen). Not fond of the pic overall, wasn't going to put it up, but I wanted to show off the alien clothes!

What Fits Nowhere Else. . .

 Abbie's Roman Holiday I was watching Roman Holiday one day, when I had the weird idea to draw Abbie in the role of the main character. Turned out pretty well, except too bright. Sadly, when I tried to dull it by computer, the highlights in her hair turned grey :-( .
 Abbie with a tattoo My friend's character. . . yes, her hair is in hearts. . . The butterfly is much brighter IRL, but being the same blue as Ami's couture gown, it also scanned very badly, gomen.
 Baby Melody, all dressed up Abbie's baby, and the first baby I've ever been able to draw worth a crap. *laughs* For that alone, I think she deserves a place here!
 Abbie2 Much more kawaii doppelganger of my friend's character, played with in chat RPs.
 Gargoyle A random female gargoyle I drew for no reason.  I like her pose and hair; it's just her face that doesn't appeal to me.
 My friend's birthday gift Explaining what this is and why would take way too long. *sweatdrops* I'll just say I drew this in a rush on her birthday, which is why it's scribbly. It's here because I like the quiet simplicity of it. Very pretty for a rush job.
 Ustarda, rather feminine I knocked this off in an hour or two, for no special reason. Probably the most feminine you'll ever see Star look! I think I did pretty well on her hair, though, except for having made it lighter than usual. *shrugs*
 Goth Kitty Ustarda This. . . is just gorgeous. . . maybe the best Star pic ever, seriously! Okay, so I still can't do perspective worth a crap, but it's Star-chan. . . as a goth kitty. . . with a revealing leather dress and fishnets. . . *nosebleeds all over the keyboard* The BG is purple chalk, which is why it kinda smudged on the black a bit, but I'll forgive that.
 SD me building a snowman A holiday present for OL friends. Simple but kawaii.
 Jonna Nyström Yes, I copied and pasted ^_^; . My friend's game chara which she asked me to draw for her. Erm, yeah, I made the clothes myself, for better or for worse.
 Visual Kei Ustarda A "real girl" pic of Star-chan looking like an escapee from a Visual Kei band! This pic resides in CA now, as I drew it specifically for a gift.
 A bit older Melody, eating a cookie She's getting crumbs all over her dress. *laughs* I like the hair, though, and the butterfly clippie.
 Yet another Abbie variant This one is a Neko-Abbie with dyed-purple hair.  How she managed to dye her hair without dyeing the fur on her ears is a mystery to me!  She's fairly kawaii, despite the Maxim bikini-girl look of the pic. . . and the fact I got the perspective on her legs and foot wrong -_- . . .  Maybe later I'll add in a beach BG, if I feel less lazy.
 Neko-Abbie pinup Going for a sexy Marilyn/nudie-pinup sort of thing here. I kinda regret the chalked-in tie-dye BG, though. . . shoulda gone older vintage on that. . . but not too bad, anyway.
 Ant Dancer Ninja I had to draw a pic based on this randomly-generated set of traits: "This selfless kunoichi is very tall and has a wide-hipped build. She has piercings on her arms. Her almond-shaped eyes are gray. She has straight cherry red hair worn in an attractive style. Her outfits are usually alabaster and include large earrings. Her preferred weapon is a whip (which has an ancient and terrible past). She is skilled in acting, herbology, and dancing. She can take on the traits of an ant." I did it last-minute, and didn't ink, nor take enough time filling in, which is probably why she's so awful :-P .
 A pretty Abbie portrait A non-heart-haired Abbie, as she sometimes gets drawn now. She looks a bit less vacant than usual here, and the alternate hairstyle is nice.  The ring she's wearing is amethyst quartz.  I used to own that ring, and completely loved it, but it's broken now :-( .  *needs a new one*
 Abbie as a real girl Somehow she came out looking like Anza, which I didn't notice until after I finished drawing her, but isn't it appropriate?
 A realistic self-portrait Second draft-- the first looked too old, so vanity drove me to do this one, which I'm much happier with. This is what I look like with my non-Taiki-sama-copying haircut.
 Ustarda as a real girl I wasn't sure if my friend meant her to look alien or Asian, but this seems to lean more towards the latter. She looks very androgynous and beautiful/handsome! *glomps her*
 Katayama Sayuri I kinda like this, even though I'm still not sure it really looks like her.
 SC-3, Amanda Someone on a MB I'm on asked people to draw her fanmade Cyber, so I did. Wouldn't you just kill for that hair?
 SD Ustarda She's not wearing red or black (rare for her!) and she's hugging a kawaii Yaten nuigurumi! I kind of neglected to account for her left arm, though. *sweatdrops* Oopsie. . . I think it's kawaii, nonetheless.
 Self-portrait Me dressed as Taiki-sama, with a chalked-in background.  Triple rare because: 1) it's me 2) I'm in a costume, and 3) I'm wearing my glasses. I'm not fond of this one :-P .
 Ustarda Cherub Most likely to next end up on a t-shirt, it's a sad but pretty, classical-looking Star-chan cherub! *glomps her* I meant her to have white wings, but when those looked bad I changed to sand, which adds a lot to the classical look, as does the lighter than usual hair. (Okay, so I just used the wrong pencil that day, but on this pic, it works!)
 Ustarda as Jeanne D'arc I know little about swords and armour, so excuse me if hers look off, but I like this one. Even though it's Star, not Jeanne, trade the green hair for dark-brown or black and she's very close to how I imagine Jeanne might've looked :-) . Pencil with chalked-in BG, and largely inspired by pics of Ingrid Bergman in the role.
 Ustarda with a tattoo Meant to match the Abbie pic, kind of, but I draw scorpions even worse than butterflies, gomen. No wonder Star looks so upset we're looking at it!
 Ustarda My friend's character, whose drawing resulted in my accidental Haruka pic. I like to glomp onto her and play with her hair in chat RPs :-) .
 Two Ustarda pics A portrait and full-figure of her. . . *laughs* That outfit kind of looks T'sentrati-like, with how I filled it in, eh? I rather like it on her, though.
 Ustarda's face The splash page pic for the Star KiSS doll I made. Kawaii, even if the hair's a little fluffy.
 Waterlily A very stylized waterlily on rippling water I drew in anticipation of having a Cafepress store (and needing some non-fanart to put in it). If I ever work out how to get the store up and running, maybe you'll see it there.
 "The" white rose Something else I drew for the store. I loved Taiki-sama's tattoo from my fics, but knew fanart was a no-no, so I did this bigger, more detailed pic of the rose itself.
