The Graphite Skates on Paper

I've been very busy these past few months to update the blog and I started overhauling this December, but to fill up the extensive gap, I've decided to post an entry about my illustrations.

 I usually draw whatever I like, sometimes I illustrate unorthodox and atypical characters from their original figure, sort of curiosity. When you want to imagine your favorite characters in different way you have  to compromise with your curiosity and start creating your own version. Chip some apparel if she or he's wholesome, cover up those liberated characters and the like. That's how I visualize things. I just don't imagine them and encapsulate them inside, I create and reinvent them as well and it's a great feeling to recreate.

Just to end this year with optimism and productivity, I'm gonna share some recreated objects

This is my favorite drawing 'cause putting the strawhat members in one portrait with different facial expressions (which is norm to their disposition) is one crucial part. But when you made it right according to your visualization, the art is sufficient to enjoy.

It's not like seeing Boa Hancock of One Piece in a kimono as conventional, so keeping her wholesome just for one day is pretty much playful, far from her original character as the snake princess of Amazon Lily with a very seductive appearance.

Black Leg Sanji is now a beefcake chef with benign and gentle facial feature. Girls would run after him just to date him out in reverse to the original scene.

Envisaged guy. I guess this is a product of how I want to have his facial features.

Reinvented Nelo and Patrasche of "Dog of Flanders"

Truth be told, but fallen angels are sexy

It's only Manga-riffic!

Oh well, I haven't practiced my "talent" for almost 8 months and I thought of losing a good skill at 8th degree. You know what they say, practice makes perfect, and for the betterment of your work, practicing everyday is just and genuine for the rigidity of your talent.

Cosplay God: Liui Aquino

This is a good entry about someone's hobby. I don't find it fascinating to see emulations of anime characters or whatsoever, but I've been into emulating Korean stars way back, year 2011. I don't really want to land on such phase of leisure because I really hate K-pop, but there were people who complimented me and they embraced my somewhat "racket" because I had no choice. I've become advantageous since I looked unusual from the native Pinoy look. I was even paid for doing so. I just really had to go back with my Filipino print when I returned to school. I had to cut my hair back to shorter one and dyed it black again.

I first saw Liui's great settlement on cosplay world when he brought Black Leg Sanji of One Piece into life. He was the greatest cosplayer I've ever known that day. Now, he's bringing Hiccup of How To Train Your Dragon 2 into alter-realistic than an animated sighting could have had. Liui may have just won the best cosplay award for playing Hiccup and now recognizable all over the world, most especially here in Asian continent.

I think Liui's the kind of guy that can go androgynous. He can play both anime guys and girls. His face is versatile and it's flexible tho to trick different kinds of feature. Truly great, truly the cosplay god.

He even became Jack Frost of Rise Of The Guardians. This made me realized that he can really reinvent himself. ART-riffic!!

And once vented out as Black Leg Sanji of One Piece, the "chicboy" chef. 

I've never seen such cosplayer who can actually work with all the frames of each characters like Liui does. Effortless, his face can be any of your ideal anime. He can play as the counterpart of cosplay goddess, Alodia Gosiengfiao, being the only guy who can be considered as cosplay god through his works. I think he's becoming vital now on their own world of cosplaying.
