This Has Become An Art Account I Guess

I've been watching Cowboy Bebop with Alex, I'm only about 3 episodes in but I'm having a lot of fun! I barely watch anime, and I've only started reading manga again (I'm not hip and with it)... I've been reading Vinland Saga at night, now that I finished Chainsaw Man. (Which I didn't like that much)

Anyways after a tattoo today I kind of derped around the shop and was just drawing random shapes to loosen up my hand (I clench it pretty tight when I'm stretching the skin), and figured I'd draw over the random shapes ... This Ilya turned out ok!

Art friends I recommend you try drawing over basic shapes, it's pretty fun.

Great idea for an art prompt! I'll add it to our prompt section at drawesome. :)

Oooh, I'd been meaning to pick up Cowboy Bebop eventually. Is it the rollicking good time others have promised it to be?

Also, has Ilya ever considered becoming a model? Because that's a model pout if I've ever seen one. X'D

I'm loving the art posts!

I don't watch a lot of anime these days, but Cowboy Beboy remains an all-time favorite. The soundtrack of it is amazing and the characters and show writing are great. I'm really hopeful and excited about the live-action version coming to Netflix in November.

OoOo! Just added you guys!

HMMM. I am not an anime conneuseur (i cant spell and im leaving it that way). I think it's fun, and the music is really good. The characters are likable and diverse. I'll keep you guys updated. It's a classic so it must be good ... RIGHT?

(Cut to me being disappointed by Citizen Kane and saying classics are all shit, circa 5 years ago)

Ilya SHOULD be a model but he's too busy thinking about choking out Igor. But also, maybe that's what makes his pout so good? The unbridled hatred/lust combo?

(P.S. You should totally try the shape drawing exercise too)

Thanks! I'm kinda shy posting them ahaha T_T I'm worried people will get sick of them ...

I really enjoy the music so far. I heard the original composer is working on the live action ... Gasp!

[alee_grrl]

Yoko Kanno being involved with the live-action is the reason I have such hope for it. Her music was one of the key components of the original series, so I couldn't see a live-action take working without her being involved.

And I love seeing the art! I bet I'm not the only one either. :D

Yay! We always love having new members join the comm.

And you are most welcome to try any of the challenges if/when the mood strikes. ^__^

Obviously. X'D (But no, I get you. I've been burnt by critically acclaimed things before. *squints at "Your Lie in April"* Fingers crossed that it ends up being an enjoyable ride for you and Alex!)

I would say "Ilya, get your priorities straight," but in this case, yeah, you're right. It's working out for him. What a diva.

You got it, chief. I'm indisposed at the moment (tablet pen broke), but I'll give it the old college try once I'm able. :b

Looking good! I really like the shadowing.

[jpegghost]

Bro people be telling me your lie in april was gonna make you cry and my ass is sitting there like :/ I'm bored.

[mucky]

LMAO, I get that. The conclusion of the first season made me angry while everyone else talked about how it made them tear up, so... that was my experience.

I think that one review that called it (heavily paraphrased) "an okay anime packaged in the exact way it knows would make audiences love it" was on point. The art, music, and animation were all there, imo. But the story and heart weren't.
