Summary: Iceland carrying a bouquet of poppies for~?


I started and finished Ice yesterday, which was interesting for me. Normally I leave something for a few days and then I'll come back to it...if I remember.
I rather like how it turned out. I only used a reference for the poppies, not that you could tell.
I probably should've tried to smooth out my "Iceland", but I was on drugs and getting sleepy. It doesn't look too bad, I don't think.
There is an eye in there, but the lashes are so pale they blend in with his hair. I've gotten in the habit of not outlining the hair, so it's hard to see clearly. Icelandic people are rather pale, though, paler than how I coloured this guy [[whom I call Valdimar, Val, by the way]]. I used the skin colour Himaruya did in his reference drawing, which is technically too pink. Oh well, though. If he were any paler, he's look albino. _{My room mate was pale and white-blonde. She could blend in with the clouds.}

I'm still working on my soccer sketches. There're more, now, but I'm too lazy to upload them. There's a big sketch with Axis team versus Allies, and there are some more funny/bizarre poses that soccer players pull. _{They've got some of the funniest expressions. I love looking at stills from games; that's where these drawings came from.}

Click the image for full-size.
Germany's goal keeper and getting PO'd. England punting a mochi. France is a ref. RED CARD(stop). In the name of amour~ Prussia running into Spain's backside [[which is not how you tackle in any form of football]].
I've got to find more national soccer jerseys and whatnot. I know England's and America's, but the others are more sketchy, and they change depending on who they play. For my Axis vs. Allies, I'll probably just make the jerseys up.


Comments are much appreciated.

oi oi. The puffin already has a name~It's mr. Puffin! :DD

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

xD Mr. Geoffrey Puffin.
;D
_{Wasn't that a book or something? Mr. Puffin's something or other...? I think it's a kid's book. :/ I'm too old to remember. oTL}

=^..^=~

[kawaiisyringa.livejournal.com]

I have no idea!
I just read somewhere Iceland named his puffin 'Mr. Puffin' ... xD

I love you for calling the puffin Geoffrey. And the poppies are very beautiful. I like the colours.

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

Thanks~ cB Doesn't he look like a Geoffrey? :'D =^..^=~

Oh my God, this is /so/ cute :3
I kept going, "Puff puff puff puff!" at the adorable puffin.
(Yeah, I'm glad no one's home -laughs-)

I really like the name Vladimir/Val for Iceland, too.
But isn't that more of a Transylvanian name? Although I could be wrong ^^'

|D I'm glad you enjoy that puffin, there.

Valdimar is Icelandic or Norwegian. Vladimir is Russian.

=^..^=~

FFFF
Very funny XD

And about that first pic with Iceland, could you tell me what texture did you used?

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

Um...I went to the site Lost and Taken (http://lostandtaken.com/), and I think I used one of the newer scratched ones and an orange. I don't remember the exact ones, though.

=^..^=~

[cattiechaos.livejournal.com]

I think I'm enjoying that puffin a little too much ~

Ah, I see! Thanks for the info ^-^

The sketches look great, but are too little to be well seen. Could you reupload them in bigger size, so I can enjoy them? Thanks.

Here's the scrapbook (http://pics.livejournal.com/catgirlprime/pic/0013s35z) link. _{I didn't want to make the image too big, since I'm picky about page appearance.}

=^..^=~

[loremaula.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. They are fantastic. Very dynamic and the poses are great.

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

Thanks~ I love soccer stills. They're great fun to draw and are good practice. cB
