Random

Been in random drawing mood lately, which is good. Last night I finished up a drawing of a character from the old assed serie I have been working on ages ago. Earlier I made a character from that serie as well, this time around this is obviously someone else with almost the same outfit. Here is the picture:

Like I said, it is a rather quick one, so I havent focused that much on making it look too pretty at all. I just wanted to try and draw an old character in a "new" style, since this character was drawn way back when everything just had to look like some silly anime stuff (not that my stuff doesnt look silly anymore! :P).
Either way, her name is Scarlett, obviously named after Scarlett O'hara because I have a thing for that name. Scarlett is like most of the other main characters in my story thingie a student who studies abroad in Japan in the *insert random japanese city name*. She was adopted by a british family, because she became an orphan at a very young age. Throughout her life she had to deal with some psychological problems, she was certain that she had some psychic abilities, but no one would believe her so she had to take a lot medication to keep the "strange thoughts" at bay.
One day she found out that she had relatives in Japan, but there was no exact trace to who they were and where they lived, but it motived her to learn more about the Japanese culture and decided to move to Japan to study at this international school. At this school she made many friends, both local and students who come from foreign countries, one person i particular, called Zoë, a partially french/american woman, became good friends.
Obviously since this is a totally magical girl ish crappleshizzle, she gets contacted by this strange woman who tells her that something is amiss at her school and she was chosen to protect her fellow students and friends and shit. She gets this random robe and rod-like weapon to beat the enemies senseless.

Oh yeah, and obviously her hair is dyed! That is why I made it look like the roots are growing out.. because its totally unnatural to have silly hair colors.

*whack*

Okay, so creativity havent had it's place in my life as it used to. Damn school... But I managed to haul something out of my ass tonight, even when I didnt spend much time on it.

AAaaaaaaall the way back in 2001 I suddenly had a brainfart and decided to create a ginger-haired girl with a ninja-like suit. I was really happy about it and made a bunch of seriously-wtf-ish ugly characters to the story, but it has since developed to be a bit... prettier :P. Then I "upgraded" her and she now looks like at the picture above. Or well, this is how she look with my "modern" touch, she still had the same outfit, but I wanted to try make a quick drawing of how I would expect her to look like if I actually created her today.

Either way, the story is so "wonderfully" called Ninja Magic... Because it was about ninjas... with magics. (I know, it's a horrible title, but I was only 12 or 13 when I made this up...), so far I have made 2 "seasons", one where this particular character is the main character and one where there is someone else. She is called Kasumi and ends up becoming this so called ninja thingie to defeat a group of devil worshipping cult that almost kills off all of her friends, until she finds out about her true powers and forges a spear that can defeat these cultists. In the second season she barely get any screentime because she is somewhere killing off evil doers, but she is legend among other ninja thingies, so she will of course have an appearance just to kick all evil's arses.

Anyways... Enough with the old school babbeling. I tried this different style because I remember back in the old days when I was drawing at some Oekaki Board (Oekaki means scetch in Japanese i thinks... These boards used simple flash drawing program thingie where you could draw pictures and artwork where other people could comment and tell ya what they think about your work, some even could show an animation of how you've drawn your picture), I sometimes tried a style called "color-dotting" where you would use dots to do the coloring or shadings, and that is what Iwas trying to do here. It didnt take me long to do this one though, I didnt bother to work hard on the lines, but I really like how this one came out anyway... I think I will do all the other characters as well!
But first... Bedtime. *falls asleep*
