I called this Egiziana (Egyptian).

I must have been sad the day I made this.

Oh that means: She'll be your undertaker. Happy?

This was originally in read but I lost the original copy. Fortunately I printed it and attached it to my diary. But I don't think the scanned version will be good though.

I think I used Photoshop. I made use of this software when I had to paint the eyes. To give like and shades I really needed a sophisticated program.

I had also coloured the second piece of this cycle but that is also lost. I used photo impression.

Cool stuff. I used to have artsy friends. They could DRAW!!!!

Michelin89, you draw these stuff online? No papers and drawing pencils?

First I draw them using pencils on paper. But that isn't very difficult. Colouring them is the main issue. I can draw but suck at colouring so I use softwares and believe me it can take me a week just for one. E nor easy at all.

I even made a poster. I wanted to use it to create a group on facebook.

Oh ok, I thought you used the software to do the drawing too.
Nice talent you got there, surprised it's just a hobby. My artist friends actually wanna do it as a career. They're in art schools.

I wanted to go to art school too but my parents were against my choice.

@ Busy Body

We have something called art and another thing called fanart.

Fanarts are usually drawn by otakus who want to imitate the style of a mangaka so they copy their drawings and reproduce their favourite characters.

You posted a fanart of Inuyasha, very popular even here in Italy, then one of an unknown anime. There are a lot around.

None of the drawings I posted here is a fanart. They were all drawn according to what I had in mind. There was a time I tried to draw Sana from Kodomo No Omocha, but I didn't fancy the stye. The heads were too big for the bodies and the eyes were simply too complicated. But Peach Girl was very nice.

I might post some (although very few) of my fanarts and some of my very first drawings. Then the legs were two poles.

Aww, that sucks.
Yeah, naija parents don't consider such as valid careers. They were also against my sister going into Architecture, which is related to arts.

do your thing girl.where all dem haters? busybody and company.

No2Atheism:

@busybody

that was not fair . . .at least apologise to her . . .its unfair for you to say she is copying other people's work. At least she has now provided evidence to show that she is the person who actually owns the work.

You have even caused her to reveal her other identities just to protect her name from being slandered. . . . an apology from you to her would be in order.

Thanks for this

She owes me an apology first. . All i did was an accusation and she could have politely made her points without the insults & name calling.

haters ke? Now you are cracking me up        

Do you have anything against African beauty? I suggest you make your drawings more Black. Your drawings are glorifying white women.

Don't get me wrong, you are talented alright, but use it to promote your race. Cheers.

That one of the reason why we have some fake doctors, lawyers etc

Art is art. Not a tool to promote race and politics, please don't get it mixed up.

Artists draw / paint / sculpte accordintg to their moods, and what they've been surrounded by.

You need to get out of your way of thinking - just because a tailor who happens to be black, only creates Western fashion, then that means they have something against black people? Or a black singer happens to sing only Latino or Western songs? That's a very singular way of thinking.

You cared enough to click, and why shouldn't one be proud of their talent?

Michelin, ignore the critics, and carry on with what you're good at, you have a rare talent.

u are really good. keep it up. hope some1 is smart enough to use your work for some real graphic designs or even movies. i'll watch.

michelin89:

Don't worry ILoveAtheism.

I have my works scattered all over the net. I am not surprised if she finds the same work under 2m2o on www.manga.it. The same for my stories and write ups. Before I could gather everything in two blogs, I had been wandering around the net.

If applause could resound and be ferried across oceans then you would hear the thunderous appluase my folks,buddies and I are giving to your creative ingenuity. You are a class artist and I'm loving your drawings all the way. For those who accused you of plagiarism please note that they didnt mean to insult you as they never imagined you could be the same person form photobucket. I also think just for next time sake that you be patient and understanding enough to correct wrong impressions and not take to verbal vituperation because you are a public person in the making.
Thumps up girl and keep hoisting your flag

She could have politely asked why I was using Laryeana instead of the usual Michelin89 instead of assuming I was stealing another person's work and post is in b[b]old and big fonts[/b] on my thread to get attention and I'd have answered: for privacy sake because I have my personal pictures hosted on that site. The same reason why I kept my profile private.

I understand. Your works really got me biting myself for not honing my drawing skills beyond the limping stage I took it to as a kid. You are just magnificent with them

I had the umbrella idea way before Rihanna!!
Time to visit copyright office or intellectual property lawyers on how to protect new ideas cos  I see some money to be made  in the future. protect your idea no matter how little cos Rasheed  Wallace was sued for copyright infrigement over a tatoo he got while in Oregon.

The pic goes on!

This could be regarded asa fanart. I took the postures from Neon Genesis Evagelion but the faces are mine. I already had those characters in mind but I didn't know how to draw them. Thanks NGE.

Why did the coloured version of this get lost?

End of the cycle dedicated to Miss B (Missy B has nothing to do with the name).

I love this. It is simple and very easy to colour.

There was a time I was interested in She Devils.

From the uncompleted poster.

Before the idea of the poster, they were individual works. I just though I could make more girls with the same idea. See to compare.

The individual:



From the poster:

The hybrid. Oyinda was good to notice how the face resembles mine!

And then there was the cycle dedicated to Miss J. For the moment I have scanned just this. More to come when I finish them.
