FA: White Tiger & Arctic Wolf (2009)

Maybe best of the year. I participated in an art competition with this. Didn't really do well, even teacher didn't like this. I like it, it reflects my fiancée and I.

TP: Tribal Cougar (2009)

Something I drew for my other halfsister as belated birthday gift. Gouache on canvas covered cardboard. Highlighted with colored pencils. You don't wanna hug that one.

SI: Team Captain (2009)

My Beyblade OC, not writing that story anymore either. Ehe. I'm actually arachnophobic, I couldn't even touch the spider on the images I drew. I was still learning the manga style. Still not handling it.

TP: Sunset (2009)

One of my best clients gave me a postcard to enlarge with gouache paints, I came up with this. This was actually modified after taking the picture, she didn't like the gold highlights, so I had to cover them off.

TD: Snake (2009)

I had painted the actualy shape of the snake maybe a year or two ago, until I saw the paper again. Then I just grabbed Stabilos and colored pencils and finished this during a hockey match on TV. The light blue sky used up most of my light blue pencil. Argh.

TD/SI: Revengeful Mistresses posters (2009)

Naruto-esque story posters, maybe worth redoing someday. Colored pencils, multicolor gel pen, Manga Pitt shading pens, Stabilos... glitter glue, which made me realize Stabilos aren't waterproof.

FA/SI: Mika Valkov (2009)

Googled for images of babies and drew this little darling. He didn't have that kind of hair though, it was all UP. Like after an electric shock. A fanfiction illustration...

FA: Lars Alexandersson (2009)

Fanart I made in a car, Lars' looks might be through memory, I had a model for the position. I'm nuts for coloring grass, despite I can only paint it to make look realistic.

J: Hime & Rain (2009)

This is the other half of Hotaru-Rain-Hime-Neon necklace quartet. When using metallic color plastic beads, make sure they don't let the color off... I had magenta all over my neck.

FA: Happiest bride (2009)

This is almost fanart too, but I don't think many of you can actually name the character, so I'll just leave it like this. I'm kinda happy with this, I almost used up the whole red Faber-Castel pencil for the dress and my wrist didn't like me after that. A birthday gift.

FA: Gaara of the Sand (2009)

Just two pics drawn from a model by Masashi Kishmoto. Drew these while waiting for a bus in the local café.

Traditional Painting: Beach sunset (2009)

Had a model with this, but damn isn't this one of my best gouache paintings of that time. I like the colors and the palm leaves were really fun to do. Highlights on the water are done with colored pencils.

TD: Ávila (2009)

Three color drawing, but my old scanner threw a trollface at me and refused to scan it in color. Sold this for 5€, A4 size, blue pencil, a touch of light brown on the scroll that is outlined with a fineliner.

Accidentally found this picture of the same artwork but in color. It was taken with my cellphone (it was the best I had, my current sucks)

FA: Tala Valkov (2008)

I refound my love for Beyblade and fell in love with this character. I don't remember Finnish television airing the last episodes of season 1 nor 2 an here is no record whatsoever about the third. Tala was a character that appeared as the villain's pawn in the first and as rival and an ally. Russian of course. I have actually cosplayed him (2010) and that picture will appear here eventually. I had two screencaps for these. He is created by Aoki Takao.

TP: Mask (2008)

A mask I made during art class, it actually qualified for an exhibition. The highlights are made with graphite/coal. Teacher was rather surprised about the way I used the coal wit it. This caught the attention of my fiancée before we really met. Gouache, charcoal, size A3.

FA: Beyblades (2008)

Designed a bunch of Beyblades during art class. I simply drew the outlines of my own Beyblades, Galzzly (twice, other with the second attack ring too), Phantom Dranzer S and Wolborg (my favorite)

J: Butterfly - Yellow Jewel - Emerald Eye - Moon Leaves (2008)

Yellow Jewel
Not the best images of my simplistic circlet, but it'll do. Plastic beads/diamonds and some plastic-y tube like yarn, it has golden thread inside.

Butterfly
This was an interesting one, actually made between 2008-2009, the origami paper I used for the wings was bought from Spain. One detail came loose at some point, since they are attached with glitter glue. It wasn't really good brand. When attaching something, cheap-ass glitter glue just isn't the way to go... Aluminium wire, metal wire...

Moon Leaves
I tried to create the pair for this from golden wires, but the metal wire darkened and the glitter glue was horrible. This has acrylic diamonds and photopaper pieces colored with gel pens.

Emerald Eye
A brooch I made with aluminium wire, metal wire, all kinds of glues and an acrylic diamond. The actual brooch part isn't attached, but maybe one day when I buy a suitable part.

TD: Blue Dragon (2008)

Scraping technique. I refound my love for this all of a sudden. I had a model for the dragon, but still. Blue gouache (?) at the bottom, white wax pastel crayon. The reason I like crayons is the ability to color smooth and bright surfaces. I'm a big sucker for clear colors. I scraped this with a needle, wiped the excess with an old watercolor brush.

J: Gold&Honey - Princess Tiara - The Forest King (2007)

Gold &Honey
My favorite. Yellow-ish plastic pearls, gold metal wire, gold aluminium wire, glitter glue and some blood. The wires were sharp. Not the sharpest images, but I rarely do active stuff in daylight, I'm sometimes nocturnal. It's a little LotR inspired. This was supposed to have flowers and vines on it, but it turned out beautiful enough to be on its own.

Little Princess Tiara
Part of a story and also part of a set of three. Circlets for Queen and Crown Princess are part of this, but they were the first two I ever made, so I'd rather keep them in the box and never show them around. I'm fond of this because it's so cute.

The Forest King
Inspired by what Tolkien said about Mirkwood's King Thranduil and his circlet. My take of it. I think I need more manly things on it.

SI: Thelia Moontwin (2006)

Ironically, my best arm drawn at the time and my classmate said it's like an arm of a Godzilla. I guess my arms are ugly then ^^' A character of a fanfiction story I've abandoned long ago, it had a snowball's chance in hell of being an interesting story. I have this in frames. It bugs me that people think the works I like are shitty, but the works I don't really like or even wanna see again are getting praised. It's irritating.

TD/SI: The Lady and the Queen (2005)

I spent hours doodling this. I made a lot of pencil works back then. I'm not much better with hands, I usually leave hands and feet undrawn. Granny said I've always drawn beautiful faces, to me they all look the same. Exactly the same. Even in manga she doesn't really like. Alwas the same. Eyes might change a little, but still... From the same story as the previous original work, Walls of White Star.
I actually could try to do this again...

FA: Anyriand & Erestor (2005)

Had a model for this, but this is a character          Oops. I made this at the back of my notebook cover.
from LotR -movies, an extra and I recall            Had a model, once again, this time Jonathan Harding.
his name was Jason Secto.                                     Guy is a model and a musician, could be seen
The audience makes their own star, so actors      in three roles in LotR, though I think the two others
in minor roles made also some fans swoon.      were cut off. This is from the Council of Elrond scene.
Shame that Mr. Secto hasn't taken that well,
 unlike Benson brothers, Jonathan Harding,
Craig Parker, Mark Ferguson...
Oh well, I mean no offense with this
I was just a kid practicing her model drawing.

Story Illustration: The Walls of White Star (2004)

I had a thing for black and white drawings back in the days. I'm still rather happy with this, but haven't been able to recreate anything like this before. Just simply used mechanical pencil with HB graphite. This depicts the walls of the castle of  prince who was crowned king too young, to rule a slowly deserting kingdom and under hatred of bipolar elder sister. I don't know shold I work on the story anymore. Well, if my better ones backfire,  at least have something to redo.

Fanart: Houses of Gondolin (2004)

I got into Tolkien after I FINALLY watched LotR out of curiosity. They aired the three for the first time in Finnish television. I was hooked from the first moment. I abandoned HP movies (I've seen them all and I have all the books) and hounded all info I could about Tolkien and his Middle-Earth. It struck me even better than HP and had more mature fanbase that suited me. Well, enough of that topic.
I used gouache colors, as usual, silver gel pen and glitter for the effects. After that the glitter was EVERYWHERE. There might still be remains of glitter in my old scanner. This is my take of what the emblems of 12 houses of Gondolin looked like. I am aware that whatever Tolkien himself drew is -the correct- take, but hey, I cannot be (and am not) the only artist to try their hands at Middle-Earth fanart.
