Daily Doodle: FFFF okay I should not have stayed up this late working on this and now I don't have coherent comment. Attempt!

Point one: I cannot handle Oda's anatomy. Any of it. But especially the hands.

Point two: I don't know why but Oda's style always goes easier for me working in pencil mode (hard edges, like MS Paint) instead of brush mode (softer edges, what you usually see here). Subsidiary point two-and-a-half -- I can't resize that nonsense.

Point three: Vivi appears to be going for the gold. ETA: I have been advised that her hand is not PG-rated! I am balls at ratings anyway when it comes to sexuality.

Point four: I still can't draw Nami to save my life.

Backdated 1 hour.
Time: Too damn long. Like 3 hours? DON'T ASK ME WHY. I think most of it was spent redrawing Nami's face over and over and over.


Daily Doodle: One Piece - Nami/Vivi (PG/PG13) )
OKAY SO. MY SERVER IS DOWN. And so none of my arts are currently available! Today's doodle is being temporarily hosted by the gracious [personal profile] renay, but everything else is dead, dead, dead. I apologize! This should hopefully be fixed tomorrow!

Daily Doodle: So anyway, Nami! I've not really gone into it, but I have an unofficial theme week going here, of females kicking butt. But one of the things I have been trying to do with this theme is eliminate, to the best of my ability, the gratuitous sexualization of the action girl. It has actually been a very disappointing experience -- when I go to look for stock reference photos for various action poses, I have had to use male ones pretty much every time. This is because the female ones are either (1) passive or (2) nominally doing something actiony but involving a lot of gratuitous hip-cocking, boob-heaving, and ass-sticking-outing.

It makes me very sad, honestly!

So this week, I've been trying to (a) draw full figures and (b) make them female and (c) make them as non-sexual as I can. I think is worked out especially well with the Rosa one.

But here is Nami! Now, those of you who know Nami know she is really hard to not sexualize. But I tried. I also find Nami really hard to draw, period -- from her face to Oda's crazy female anatomy. But I think this turned out pretty well, all things considered =)

Daily Doodle: Avast, it be Nami! I totally flopped/slept through most of Talk Like a Pirate Day, but at least I drew a pirate? I am once again too tired to tl;dr! But hey, I have NEVER managed to get Nami on-model, EVER. I still don't think I've got it, but this is probably the closest I've come. Siiiigh XD
