Project 027: Rainbow Sherbet Hat

So I teased with a WIP last week and then didn't finish it this week. Instead, yesterday, I started a hat, because I like making hats. They're fun and easy and work up really quick.

And I had neon variegated yarn begging me to use it.

And this hat pattern that I wanted to make, because stripes: Hadley Hat 

And here's my version:

White with neon stripes that remind me of rainbow sherbet, thus the post name...

A crappy selfie - don't get on my case, nobody else was home to snap the shot.

Overall, it's a little bigger than I normally like my hats, but it covers my ears, which I do like. I'm pretty happy with it. 

WIP 001: Christmas Scarf

Thought I'd get it done today, but not quite. So here's a teaser. More info when it's done!

Scarf tease!

Project 026: OSI Round 1 - Top 25

So, round one was "Civilian" and the round questions centered around hobbies, dreams, and fears. I wanted to do something more "manga" style this time. Again, I'm not sure that I succeeded, but this is what I have:

Jake said it's "monochrome". It's hard not to be when you're pale with white hair...

OSI 2014: A Peaceful Day

The round is open until January 26th, so I won't know until the end of the month if I move on to Round 2. I hope so though, as Round 2 is "Pin Up" and I'm pretty excited about it. I'll probably start sketching my entry soon either way.

Project 025: OSI Qualification Round

One of my goals for the new year is to do more art. I hardly drew anything in 2013, so I really wanted to get back into it.

So I decided to join Otaku Senshi Idols (OSI). 

The first thing is to do a qualification entry. This was mine:

Purple is the theme color for me now.

After not really doing much art for a year, it felt good to stretch my fingers and get into it. There's a lot I don't like about it - the anatomy is wonky, for one - but it's still better than nothing at all. I tried to go a bit more anime style than my usual, but I'm not sure if I really succeeded. I do like the super shoujo background though. Sparklies and lace and gradients, oh my!

OSI 2014: Sailor Ithel

By the time of this post, I already learned that I had passed qualifications and made it into the top 25...
