Vocaloid Gakupo, the dancing samurai!

Why didn't I put any eggplants in there D:?

Hello all! February 2010’s theme is Vocaloid, so I’ve started things off with a less popular character, Gakupo Kamui, the dancing eggplant Samurai. No really. I’m serious.

The Vocaloid wiki says:
Kamui Gakupo has a samurai aesthetic—the Vocaloid is clad in a Jinbaori, a kind of kimono which was used as a battle surcoat, with parts of Japanese armor, and carries a katana which was named “Music katana, Miburi”(楽刀・美振,Gakutou Miburi). The patterns on its blade make sounds as a musical instrument when it is swung down. [6] His fanmade character item is an eggplant.

The hardest part of drawing Gakupo here was probably the outfit. It’s pretty dang confusing with its many layers and buttons. I tried out my new eye style again, and I think it looks good with this piece. Though my brother, on the other hand, thought it looked weird. How unfortunate. I decided the hair looked better flat, and not shaded, in case you’re wondering why it’s like that.

Tell me what you think ;D. I might make some wallpaper with it later.

So today I was cleaning my room for like, eight hours (exciting, I know), and by “cleaning my room”, I mean “strenuously organizing my desk and the massive amount of things on it, and yes, it seriously. took. eight. hours.” Along the way, I had a look at my old, beaten-down miniature dry-erase board. At the time, all it said on it was “OMG”. I decided to move it onto some new, cleared space on my desk (as opposed to the inconspicuous spot it previously held on the dresser top), but not without erasing its creative message and drawing something amazing.

Happy happy birthday, from all of us to you~...

Today’s my friend Pengy’s birthday! I totally forgot this morning! At least I didn’t forget to make a little Photoshop thingy and dedicate a post half a post to you! Have a swell day. … … I don’t even think this is half a post. Dang I’m lazy. Well, I guess I could create some sort of filler so this looks longer and more meaningful than it actually is…

What’s this? Am I posting? What a foreign blog concept! Bah, you know me, busy as always. Especially this time of year, during exam season, where the rare semester exams migrate from the southern points of teachers’ desks onto the northern point of the students’. Plus I’ve been rummaging my brother’s bookshelves and piling up books for me to read. I’m considering starting a new sister blog to this one for book reviews, since I read so many! What do you think? :D
