I still love this art I did back in 2012, of Miyara mid-transformation into Eternal Ara! Sometimes I look at art where I know I leveled up and go "man, why can't I draw like that anymore" :zerotwoevillaugh:

--> from my comic: https://ac.jadinerhinestudios.com <--

I did this for an Anime Iowa art showcase, iirc. I swore off the con after my first and only booth but I entered this showcase. I wasn't...expecting much, but it would have been nice to get something, if it did. Maybe like some comments getting back to me or something but that never happened.

Instead, most of the prizes ended up going to one person 🤣 It got to the point where even the forums got in a little tickle discussion about it...I remember folks pointing out the oddity of one person winning almost everything, and asking for reasons. I could have guessed myself based on my own experience, but it was nice to see I wasn't alone in feeling blah about the whole thing.

I don't remember if the showcase happened again, since I stopped paying attention to anything Anime Iowa after that ^^;

As happens every holiday, I'm not sure if I'll be around, so I'm posting this one now. Happy Valentine's from Miyara's parents, Nonka and Fujiro \ o /

I actually rescanned this about a year or two ago, after remembering that I could rescan some of my traditional art with my big old boy scanner XD It's incredible how much a proper scanner can do for your art, including getting colors close to the original. I still did minor color correction and added some shadows through CSP to make sure the colors pop. I also had to place the orbs again but that's part of the work!

(The original one is in the replies)

Close-ups of their respective orbs, which feature their daughters Miyara and Lizaki :chino_cocoa_hug:

Color illustration. Close-up. The man, Fujiro, is dressed in a maroon suit with brown pants. He's seated above a dark purple orb, with crystal coming out under him and the floor. He's holding a bouquet of magnolias or poppies, I don't remember, this art is old oops. He's holding up a pink orb featuring their older daughter.
Color illustration. Close-up The woman, Nonka, is dressed in a custom design kimono with furisode and spandex that end in capri style pants. She's seated above a green orb, decorated as if it were from the sea, with bubbles under it. She's holding a bouquet of cherry blossoms, I think, it's been a while, as she holds up a blue orb featuring their younger daughter.

"did you know, that vampires used to be devils...I wonder, wonder, who changed who?"

Celi is from my comic: https://ac.jadinerhinestudios.com

There was a small OC event last year on Twitter under the hashtag #OCGala2022 and I thought it'd be neat (at the time) to offer up Celi and stretch out some outfit drawing muscles. I'm still as rusty as I was then for x reasons, so I still can't tell if it looks decent. I'd uploaded the gif version, as that was the "official" version for the wing effect--but this site doesn't like it for some reason lol, so you'll have to go here, sorry: https://twitter.com/JadineRhine/status/1483455940263387138

The theme was “Vampire Masquerade.” 🦇

Color picture. There are red curtains behind a young woman dressed very fancily. Her color theme is blue with gold accents and outfit hues from light blue to white. She's looking very confidently at us, almost haughtily with a small smile. Behind her is are outlines of devil wings, semi-transparent almost. Her outfit is very complicated but we'll try to describe it: she's wearing some sort of head veil thing where the back is open to let her hair loose. Around her head is a crown of jewels. Her large collar is both a collar and a cape whose very large brooch is locked on her chest. This brooch consists of a large gem in the middle with chainmail-esque beads around it, and a large golden chain coming out of the gem ending halfway through her midriff. Her dress is long-sleeved, but open in a way where it becomes an additional cape for her lower half and also where if she moves wrong, we see underboob. Her midriff is exposed. She has on a weird skirt where one belt comes up to her hips, coming out of a large gem in the middle of her lower half. Out of this gem also comes out the rest of her skirt, adorned with golden lines. It's a short skirt as we see most of her legs in dotted black stockings. She then is wearing golden heels whose clasps are chains with blue gems at both ends. In addition, her dress is one of those where the sleeves ends in gloves. As a result, she has on gloves with fake long golden nails.

I forgot that I had been reposting old #Halloween art since tis the season, so here's another entry from 2012! It's baby Tanare with her mother Dahlia :ChikaSmile:

This is still one of my favorite pieces. I even sell/sold it as a postcard, though never really selling well...Which often surprises me, I would have thought it'd be a best seller. I think it's pretty cute even years later!
