Fanarts, Sketches and some Cosplay Pics

Hi, I'm a designer that had the hobby in the free time to make some quick fanart and sketch (often using smartphone apps) of my favorite anime/videogames series(mainly Slayers and Ragnarok Online). I'm also a Cosplayer but on Tumblr I posted only some cosplay pics from Slayers series, but I have several costumes of many other series that I love. This Page isn't anymore updated

Since this is a really stressful period with the work, personal life, conventions and Ragnarok/GDPR compliance, and I have really few free time, I'm not in mood to discuss with people. So if I have to discuss again for stupid matters, I'm thinking to delete this page. There are better SNS than this in particular for the kitchen, my big passion, where the ppl don't steal your recipes(this was the reason cos never I posted food stuff)... Regarding art, usually I don't post original work on the web, since I need to sell them IRL with my company, but only quick sketch fanarts made usually in the free time on my smartphone, and when I opened this page was to post some of these sketches, but now I have better platforms where to post them, so I don't see the reason to continue to manage this page that take me only time. Sorry if I say this, but I wanted to alert you in the case you won't find my page in the future. It's question of lack of time, and busy life and soon it will be more busy for some planed personal event, so I have to spend my time in other place than this.

Sometime I'm wondering if the people read correctly the things that I write. But the answer is NO!

What are thinking my RO character about GDPR and iRO...

My Arch Bishop would think this:

While my Shadow Chaser this:

What do I think?

I'll leave to you imagine it.XD

Regarding iRO, GDPR and EU Ban...

I'm not really concerned about EU ban from iRO, but I think that give a game annoicement and to say something on the forum to all ppl that is asking about the future of their account would be appreciated. Anyway I made my last NPC for iRO, so I'm done with them. I'm not really sad to be banned for GDPR, cos I quit iRO a year ago as player, I just continued to be a quest writer and NPC illustrators for them, but I feel sad for all other EU players that are going to lose their house on iRO.

Going to stop to post on Tumblr for lack of time( IRL work to finish and other stuff) and change of interests. This Slayers Fanart such as those of Ragnarok Online will be the last pics that I'll post on this SNS, my main activity is on other SNS, quicker to use and better in management. I'll go to draw some new fanarts in the future when I won't be busy, but I'll post them only on other platforms. This all. Thanks for everyone that liked my Slayers and Ragnarok Online Fanarts.

The first version of this pic had also two baloons, but couldn’t find something good to write, so in the end I removed them. This was an old sketch that I had on my smartphone and I decided to finish. Edit: I reposted the pic cos I noticed a mistake.

I'm thinking to use this easy fanart for a tutorial, I'll go to write it when I have time. For now a video of WIP The fanart was made in Ibis Paint, while the last effect was in Snapseed. I used my Galaxy S6 using a normal wacom pen for smartphone.

Trying to finish all incomplete Zelame sketches that I have on the smartphone before of 20 May... Then I'll decide if still draw this kind of fanarts or not. Anyway also this sketch was made with my smartphone (Galaxy S6) using Ibis Paint and Snapseed.

This was an old sketch that I decided to finish. It is made on my Galaxy S6 using Ibis Paint and Snapseed.

Just an Ibis Paint video of a my fanart. Of course the video is with high speed cos the real time video took more than 15 mins.XD The last scene is the pic with already on it Snapseed effect.

Another Ragnarok Online (Kiehl) fanart. Since Kiehl had several bodies, I thought to draw one of it inside the test tube. Thinks to this as that of MVP. This fanart is made on my Galaxy S6 using Ibis Paint and Snapseed.

I share here the last post that my husband did on our Cosplay Twitter page. I traslate also the japanese text and I'll add something that is missing on the japanese description for reasons of space. Pictures taken last summer: Photo taken by UWCosplay. Models: Me as Zelgadis Greywords and Zel(my husband) as Gourry Gabriev. Light/particulars fixing and Japanese names as well added by me. Event: Castlefest 2017 - Lisse - The Netherlands This was a fantasy event where you could wear also cosplay costumes, my make up isn't perfect cos I had to make it quickly(Zelgadis make-up takes from 3h~5h since the Pros Aide takes a lot of time to dry and you know Zelgadis has a lot of rocks on his face.XD) Also the Wigs weren't so nice, but it rained, so we had to take shorts photoshoots and this meant not time to fix everything. Anyway I hope that you like our pictures. Please don't use our pictures on other SNS and sites without our permission. Thanks a lot.^__^

This pic is based on a fanfic concept that I had in mind some time ago. Since this is a stressing time for my ZelAme fanart activity, I needed to make something with a more suggestive theme. It was made nearer my style than those used in the fanarts. Usually I love dark/gothic and realistic style with horror and emo themes so I put a bit of this darkness in this quick fanart sketch. About tools, always made on my Galaxy S6 using Ibis Paint and Snapseed.

Why Tumblr continues to send me always the same notifications for several times?

[hoshiastraea-blog]

First of all thanks to everyone for your support. This is a difficult period for my fanart activity. If you read my previously posts you can understand the situation. Anyway I tried to make something even if the stress is really high. This fanart is my dream, that I would like to see(except Zel in human version, I prefer him more as a chimera than as a human, but I know that some persons would like to see him human in an hypothetical wedding with Amelia, so I decided to draw him with a human body). Really I would like to see these two guys married, but unluckily I know that never I'll be able to see this happy ending, so draw it and watch the fanarts of the others is the only thing that I can do at the moment for my soul. Regarding Zel's dress, well I tried to make something that could remember the western fairy tales princes, just I added the Seyruun decoration on the sleeves and chest band. About Amelia's dress, just a personal design, it fit well for image size. I made the pic on my smartphone(Galaxy S6) using Ibis Paint App and for the effects Snapseed App.

Today is my 20th Cosplay Anniversary and here a pic "Cosplay This Again". Yeah, first real cosplay was Lina Inverse, I say real cos I wore a Saint Seiya costume(Dragon Shiryu) in 1992, but it was for carnival so I don't consider it a real cosplay, while Lina was during a convention in Italy. Anyway following the pics copyrights. Old photo: Photographer: L.R. Event: Lucca Comics 1998 Spring Edition (Italy). New photo: Photographer: Zel Editing: me Event: Nishicon 2018 (The Netherlands).
