Hey everyone! Time for a big update!
Here are the projects that I worked on during the past months that were shown at the TSume Fan Days 4b I attended the event last week, it was amazing!
Let’s start! I am also adding a small comment next to all the projects, hope you don’t mind ;) ( btw Apologies for the bad quality of my photos)
- Saitama figure (my very first project!!! I was screaming like a fangirl when I found out that I would design a figure for Saitama, you have no idea! This figure is very dear to me, it was the first time I was creating something and I just can’t describe how happy I was! At the event I even met Kubota, the character designer for the one punch man anime. We even took a photo together with the Saitama figure ahah! Oh and Murata-sensei RT it on Twitter so you can imagine my emotions xD)
- Minato and Hinata figures ( oh hey I am drawing Naruto stuff again but more precisely…Hinata?!? I probably drew her once or twice in the past lol. These 2 projects were given to me at the same time. Weirdly enough I already knew what to draw for Hinata, in fact I drew her concept art right away, while Minato (which I used to draw more often) gave me a hard time. I hope I was able to give her some justice with this pose! Same goes for Minato :)
- an HQ figure for Laxus!! (Omg I was so happy to work on this!!! Even happier that my suggestion to make him shirtless was approved ahah! As you can see a prototype for a HQ figure of Mirajane was also shown during the conference. I worked on that one too! It was actually the first time I saw the 3D version of my concept art!)
- a giant HQ statue of Ace! (Oh my god you have to idea how big that thing is! It was my favorite out of them all! The concept was entirely created by me, like for Laxus but as you can see, Ace is more complex and has more elements going on. The scene is a mix of the anime and manga adaptations of the moment he has been rescued. Unfortunately it still has yet to be colored, but as soon it gets shown I will make sure to post it here! So excited!!)
- and finally, a statue for Genos!! (The announcement was epic, a brief clip of the fight against Saitama was shown and BAM! Here’s the statue! I was so excited to work on this you have no idea! Seeing it in person is even better, I just cannot describe it! )
I also made 9 illustrations for the event, 3 for DBZ, 3 for Bleach and 3 for Naruto! Basically you could vote for your favorite character out of the 3 and who knows, the winner of each batch can become the next statue? Who knows~ I was really interested in hearing the opinion of the participants! (I am missing the photo for the bleach ones, you could choose between Hitsugaya, Ikkaku and Yamamoto).
And last, I had the honor to be able to make official illustrations for the Terraformars card game! I had to make 3 artworks for characters that were missing in the list, it was so exciting to work on this! I will try to show the rest of them in my future posts!
During the event I had the great pleasure to meet Eisaku Inoue ( Toei animator of One Piece, DBZ, Sant Seiya and many more! he even drew something for me! I was so happy and shocked at the same time! ); Nobou Yamada and Takayoshi Tanimoto, singers respectively known for Sant Seiya and Dragon Ball Kai! Lots happened and I am sure I need to write something on a different post! AHHH I still can’t believe it!!)
I drew during the whole convention ahah! it was amazing!
I hope that I can share some of the concept art someday when I get permission to post, it could be interesting to see I think :)
Well that is all for now! Sorry again for the lack of updates, I hope to be able to start drawing again more frequently from now on! Thank you once again for your support!~
