"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
Request by: MrEndcraft
I was requested to do Inner Moka after I did the outer one (you can see it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HIU5DHqewc ). After thinking about it for a while I decided to make it into a sort of mirrored image. I might make this into a two part art piece at some point.

This is my second drawing of Erza Scarlet, (you can see my first one here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IojQKf-ulWk ) this was a request I was asked for a couple of months ago but seemed to have not taken not of it. So I apologize for not doing it sooner. I wanted to try something a bit different so I decided to finish it off with a pen using only hatching and cross hatching. There is definitely a lot of room for improvement but I think I should be able to fix it. Overall though I don’t think it looks too bad.

We have another request, and this time it is from Kevin. He requested I draw Moka from Rosario Vampire, although I have not read nor seen it I have actually seen pictures of the series on place or another. I wonder if it is any good? It looks like its an ecchi series and I tend to deviate from them these days. anyway…

Once again we have another Vocaloid. This time it is another newcomer, IA. I have heard a couple of songs and really like her voice. She really sounds realistic too, which I find interesting.
Because the hair color tended to change a bit in the references I had a hard time choosing how to go about it. In the end I decided to create a bit of a mixture of both light yellowish creme and a hint of pink. To my surprise it actually looke really good.
What do you guys think?

Here is another drawing from my old channel. Ahh, I remember that back then I couldn’t really break free from only being able to draw what was in front of me. Now I believe I have gotten better, which allows me to change the posture and merge different references into one that is all my own.

More than any of the other drawings I have done so far, this is by far the one I wanted to do the most. I have so many series that I really enjoyed, but although it was a hard decision I think that School Rumble is definitely my favorite out all of them. It’s a series that contains every genre out there. And althought it has a lot of comedy, it is not over rulling like in Hayate no Gotoku where almost no serious moments are allowed to progress. The plot is so interesting especially with the progressive addition of new characters over time. Even if they are side character they are given form and personality which makes the story that much more interesting.
Although I like most of the characters, my all time favorite female characters (no surprise here) are Yakumo and Eri. And of course my favorite male character (maybe rulling over all the others even) is Harima. His ability to be true to his feelings at all times without waivering at allmost every point is amazing, although it is this ability that makes him such an idiot.
The drawing is not completely finished, but I ran out of time. I have a couple of other things I want to add to it so I feel it is complete.

Another game that I still haven’t fully played despite my interest. I remember seeing a friend of mine from middle school who first showed me the game and I seriously wanted to buy it. But for many reasons did not have the chance. I’ll probably wait a bit and hope they make an hd collection like they did for Devil May Cry.
Anyway, this drawing took me quite a bit of time, especially because of the detail on the armor. But overall I believe it came out rather well. What do you guys think?

Still haven’t bought the games but I went and looked up some videos of Vergil, and he is awesome. I can’t wait to play the games, luckily for me they have made an hd collection of the devil may cry games for the PS3 so this will make things much easier.

Vanitas, one of the hardest bosses in Birth by Sleep. Especially in the secret Vanitas stage. It was definitely unexpected when we found out that the face underneath the mask was that of Sora, and yet it also made perfect sense seeing as both Ventus and Sora are connected by an amazingly strong bond.
I decided to place Vanitas in a leaning back against a wall kind of pose with his helmet off (as requested). I almost made a couple of mistakes when drawing the face. Since the helmet was completely off he wouldn’t have the metal remains (which is actually the helmet but without the black protective shield). It’s kind of hard to explain, but to those who are really observant and actually know what I’m talking about Im sure will understand.
My drawings as they are, are still incoplete without backgrounds so I might have to do something about that. But with the current camera I have now that runs out of battery rather fast, it’s kind of hard to do it in one session which is already taking ridiculous amounts of time. So I might have to do it in seperate videos. What do you guys think?

For this video I was requested to draw either L or Kira so of course I chose my favorite character L. I just can’t stand Kira, and seriously L is one of the weirdest and coolest characters out there.

A couple of months ago when my old account was still alive I received a request for Sakuya Izayoi in the style of Banpai Akira. But because I was so busy I was never able to do so. But finally here it is, if you (the requestor) are still watching my videos I apologize for taking so long.
What is weird is that I have also had a great urge to draw Sakuya in this style. For those who do not know, Sakuya is one of my favorite Touhou characters and right now I believe that Banpai Akira is my favorite artist. So as you can imagine I was really looking forward and excited to create this drawing. What is interesting is that now that I have decided to take the time needed to create a great drawing is actually rather long. Before it used to only take about 40 minutes to 1 hour, but not it is taking from 2 to 3 hours. This drawing took me over 5 hours to create.
I believe that most of my time went away on the table which had a lot of colors and had to have a good shine to it. This was achieved with my secret weapon… the white color pencil. Just like the black gives my drawings a really good effect and sense of three dimensionality, my white also reflects light to give my drawings some more impact that jumps out of the pages. I seriously loved the way it turned out.
This drawing was done just like my Marisa drawing where I took a cosplayer to give me the posing and also a picture that showcased Banpai Akira’s style. If you have not seen that video you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4biUjNxmPhs
And here are the links for the references.

I disappeared once again, and I apologize for it. But I am now close to being finished with my newest project, so I hope you guys look forward to that.
And so the time has finally arrived for me to draw Aqua from Kingdom Hearts. I have been realy looking forward to drawing her for such a long time. After playing Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep she definitely became my favourite out of the three new heroes. Her powers just like her personality were gentle and balanced, creating the strongest and most prominent character in this arc. Her involvement in this story was so great that without her the story might have ended at just that, having Xehanort winning the battle between light and darkness. I can’t wait to see her in Dream Drop Distance and witness what other feats she will accomplish.
As stated in the video I want to hear your comments on which version of the drawing you like more. The light drawing or the dark one?
