Cirno is all grown up now!
I'm gona try to render this one some day..

EDIT: Re-drawn the lineart today.. Maybe tomorrow i shall render this.
BTW... do you like the angry looking cirno or the new smiling one?






EDIT2: heres the pretty much final lineart.. fixed a bunch of stuff like removed too fat areas and fixed proportions thanks to aid of my friends..

No motivation to paint for today.. :( but i tried to pull out a little speedpaint for this evening.. I lack enough imagination or something.. because i did this one really slowly.. Gotta loosen it up and try some other time again..

just some random practice sketches.. I think i should do more realistic painting/speedpainting soon.

Just trying out drawing in different style than usual.. carry on...

reference images for the tank and some for the colors..

whole process streamed and most of which recorded on Ustream!
Here are the 2 parts (each pretty much 3 hours)

EDIT: hmm... i think i found a solution to the blogspot-darkening-the-images-300%-issue!!
As i added a 100% black borders on top and bottom, the picture didn't get all that dark! just a little this time.. (but still a bit too much) :(
