Zeldanime - A WIP

Returning to Zeldanime

It's been over a year since we completed Episode 1 of Zeldanime. 
I'm returning to it, at last!

Here's a sneak peek of what's coming:

Back to Otakon Artist Alley and More Sketches

I'm going back to Otakon!

I got lucky and got a spot in the Artist Alley for Otakon 2014!
Like last year, I'll be selling prints, Memehats, and Tivara (a short, original comic).  I'll be making a few changes so that I won't run into the same issues.  I'll have some new prints and I'll also be doing on-the-spot commissions!

Come see me and Rachel's Rupees at Table Z-03!

It's been a while since my last post, and I've done a few things since.  So, along with a short update on my Otakon situation and plans, I also have a few pieces of art at the bottom.

More Sketches and Doodles -

Last month (April) I started doing a daily challenge where I took a list (two, actually) of things to draw such as landscapes, characters, figures, studies, and so on--mixed in various styles.  I've been trying to get into different things, learn new styles, and of course just practice with figures and other studies.

I started strong, some things got in the way and it wasn't very consistent after the first week...

However, I still sketch a lot and posted some of the better ones here.
(Some of you might've seen these already on my Twitter or Tumblr.)

More to come!

Artwork that doesn't get seen often - Sketches & Doodles

I don't show of my concept sketches or doodles very often, mostly because they're in a sketchbook and documenting them is kind of a hassle because the quality will be bad from a photograph or it doesn't fit well in the scanner, so usually I keep these things to myself.

However, looking through some of my work, I see that my finished work is rather limited compared to what I am fully capable of.  So I wanted to show off a couple of my drawings from my sketchbooks.

There's lots of Zeldanime sketches and concepts, some projects that I have in the making or that I want to do like the "Dark Knight Beyond", a reboot of some characters for a game that my friend and I never got to finish, and some random doodles of random people. 

Take a look, hope you like 'em! :

Katsucon XX - 2014

A view of the Gaylord Atrium and Garden

I've only attended a few conventions in my life, the one I've been to the most is Otakon back in 2000, 2002, and I think 2004, but it's been so long I can't even remember.

It wasn't until last summer that I started attending more cons, mainly to promote myself and/or Zeldanime, and of course to have fun and get immersed in that subculture.  As you may have read from my last post, I attended Otakon 2013, and this past January to kick-off the new year, I attended MAGFest.  

This past weekend, I attended Katsucon!

Hello Blogging World

I am OniChild

"Oni" 2009

Greetings!

You may have heard of my name before, probably as a Zelda fan-artist way back when fan-sites were all the range in the early 2000's.  Since then, I started drawing my own comics with original characters and stories such as "Oni" (currently in development) and worked on some other projects for friends and clients.

Here I am to share my artwork, process, experience, frustrations, tips, interests and findings, and anything else that might help your own art-making or something that's simply interesting.

My first tip:
Always doodle/sketch, and always practice.
