Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

No name yet @varunpaherwar i just picture out those anime character i've seen and come up with this,but I was thinking to name her "Takhoyakji". Thank you☺️

wow... Does it have any special meaning to it?!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

It's actually one of my favorite food here in our country, we call it "takoyaki" and it sounds like a name of an anime character, so i choose it to name it after her 😊

Ohhh!! I've seen Takoyaki's in Japanese anime's. :D
Good inspiration! That's an interesting way to name characters ;)
BTW are you from Japan?!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I'm from philippines but we have takoyaki here in our country

I need to try it once! :(
Gotta come there it looks like! :)

Great artist!

https://steemit.com/drawing/@kothy/anime-character-creation-contest-entry-miyazono-kaori

Wow!
We have two kaori's in the contest!
What kind of hardware do you use?! I want to know more(getting super interested) You're getting me interested in digital art, partly this has also been because of watching eromanga sensei :D
...BTW You should really start making speed drawing videos, I think people would love to watch it... :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I use Photoshop for my works! I’ve always wanted to make speed drawing videos (I love those) but my drawing tablet malfunctions if there are too many apps running in the background. It starts to create just straight lines everytime I try to draw or the pen pressure is completely gone. I’m not sure if it’s the tablet thats malfunctioning or my Photoshop hehe

Ohh I think maybe it's your tablet but im not an expert here!
what tablet are you using?!
If you do sort out the issue and make a video do let me know, I would love to watch it(hopefully soon) ;)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I’m not quite sure what brand it is hehe I’ll let you now if I do sort it out n_n (if I remember by then, I’m quite forgetful hehe)

That's ok!
I'll be catching up with on discord so no problem! :)

Fellow steemartist!

ohh yeah!!!!

Haaaaaaaaaaaa ese anime es el mejor para mi u.u

This is Blaze my very own Anime Fantasy Based Super Hero Character, He has the Power to Control The Over Powered Fire and lightning Elements, Using Hes Sword and Shield. In a Blink of an Eye of hes Opponent, He Teleports to the Other place's around the battle Ground, that mob's cannot escape when he used he's Entra!or he's (eagle eye vision with teleportation). He is a serious type character, Coz he left hes Hometown "Firagah" to find hes girl, name "Erina" Whos Kidnapped by the Lord of all Evil in this World "Gordagoon". Blaze Always Helps people in need, everytime he visits the other town, he Just Like Robin Hood with a Buster Sword, He Stole the Golds and Mana of Some Rich and Greedy People, and Give them, to the Poor, He has a Good Heart despite for hes Silent But Deadly Attitude, Again this is Blaze My Very Own Fictional Fantasy Based Super Hero.

Awesome!
I think it's very hard to make your very own characters from nothing but just your own very imagination!
Blaze looks good I can think of how his name is related to his powers.
Great job!
Btw when you said he is silent and deadly, It kind of reminded me of Sasuke from Naruto.
I love this kind of characters.
Thank you for posting!
Love it that you're interested! :)

Nomvula the Greeninglady

You just reminded me of she hulk... πŸ˜‚
What inspired the look? Nature?

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Ha ha ha ha...that is so funny! Her name is Nomvula the Greeninglady- She dances on the beach daily her prayers to the Sun. Her main prayer is that of the organic greening of the Earth!
If you have a look at my blog you can read more about her stories of daily dancing on the beach her prayers to the Sun.

Yes, I was reading your blog. Nomvula - The greening lady! :D <- Awesome!
This is a great way for you to express yourself!
Absolutely Love it!
Keep doing what you do... :)

Varun meets Varun?! :D
I saw your blog, looks like you always draw like that!
Great!!! :)
Who is this character though?! Would love to know more...

Hello! This is my entry for this contest. A piece inspired by Kaori Miyazono from Your lie in April.

LogoLicious_20180218_080544.png

https://steemit.com/polymerclay/@bigboycrafts/some-melodies-never-fade

Shigatsu wa kimi no uso! 😱
This is weird huh! I can't believe that I was singing the opening theme of the anime in my head before seeing your comment! What a nice coincidence.... πŸ˜‚
This is beautiful... How did you make this?!
I would love to know more about the procedure involved in creating the figure.

A fellow fan? I love the song so much actually. Brings tears to my eye the moment I remember what happened πŸ˜…

Ty so much! I made this piece using polymer clay (du-kit brand). The first step was to make an armature out of aluminim wire to serve as the skeleton. I then added polymer clay bit by bit to form the basic female figure. Once the structure was done, I sculpted the details on the body starting in then out to make layering easier. After I was satisfied with the look, I baked the figure in a convection oven to cure it (curing of polymer clay is when you heat it up to the recommended temperature for a certain time so that it hardens once it is cooled. Lastly, I added paint using acrylics πŸ˜„ I also decided to make a stand to add the the overall atmosphere of the piece 😊

Absolutely a fan of "your lie in April"
I've been recommending it to my friends, but they are all not into anime. πŸ˜₯
That was a detailed reply... I appreciate it.
I love the details in there.
This is just my suggestion but you should think of doing a tutorial video or a blog post on the steps involving the creation of your sculptures.
I think people will love to see that, i would definitely! πŸ‘

I've been doing the same the moment I finished the series. 🀣 Was lucky enough to have found 2 that got hooked.

Hahaha. I really enjoy making pieces so everytime someone asks, I just can't help it. πŸ˜… I've been thinking of making videos too but I'm still holding it off a bit for now. Sometime soon perhaps πŸ˜… ty!

Its funny how an anime can make an adult cry though...
Good to know you have friends who would watch animes that you do... 😊
I'll be looking forward for those videos...
I've followed you... I can see the reputation no. (26) going up by a lot soon, when more people start to see your talent here on steemit! πŸš€

So true! Hahahah.

Ty so much! Hopefully I can produce quality content sometime soon. Cheers to you and keep up the great work 😊

Just a reminder - Maybe you might want to get your comment upvoted by your friends! :)

DON'T FORGET TO TELL YOUR FELLOW STEEMIANS TO VOTE FOR YOU

I just find out about this contest and i'm very excited because in my early years i had a huuge crush for KAZEHAYA SHOUTA from the cutes series KIMI NI TODOKE, so here is my entry, i hope you like it and remember: i was a rookie back then so don't jugme so much.

kiminitodoke shouta1.jpg

kiminitodoke shouta2.jpg

-Katy-

Kazehaya is a awesome character...
I remember watching KIMI NI TODOKE a while back and could not leave it until i was done with it!
The series is really worth watching, the innocence and the beauty of each and every character just comes out and you can't help but fall in love with them.
Great job Iove his cute eyes! Thank you for sharing this art work...and I won't be judging you, frankly I won't be judging anyone in this contest!
Im just gad to see many anime lovers coming out to share their work and experiences on why they love anime. In the end that's the main reason for organising this contest. :)

thanks!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Here is my entry. I drew it a month ago.
It took about 1.5 hour to complete it.

Characters : Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato

I really love this couple!
These guys rock...seriously good stuff!
did you use color pencils?!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yeah. Color pencil and black gel pen.
I have more of my artwork but I really wanted to share this one.

I don't sketch bad but I really suck at coloring.
Don't have enough experience in coloring.

By the way, did you ask for the process ? I might have missed that.

That's good though, even though you might say you're not good at coloring i would say otherwise. Compared to me you're light-years ahead! :)
The process wasn't necessary, I just wanted to confirm that the artwork is made by you.
Im following you and hope to see more wonderful artwork coming my way!
Keep drawing! keep steeming!
Thanks for posting your entry! :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you for your kind words ! I am following you back.
I will be looking forward to more contest such as this.

ALRIGHTY!!! :)
I'll try to make the next one a better one where someone(maybe me) will judge the art!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yeah. That would be a wise choice.
Because upvotes can be asked for or bought. So, the person who deserve to win might not able to win the contest.

I thought steemians would be interested in curating art properly but, I don't see that happening sadly!

We are back with another one if you're interested do join in!

Congratulations on creating this contest. It creates new opportunities for other artists out there to get more exposure. We need more events like these on the platform. I'm glad there are a lot of steemians like you taking more initiative on this.

However, I do need to comment on the set winning conditions. If the winner is decided based on the number of votes, wouldn't that be a disadvantage for artists that have yet to create their fan base on the platform. If votes are the only bases for winning, one could draw a character with little effort and win by popularity rather than actual skill in rendering an image.

I understand this is your first contest organized. I hope you reconsider the winning conditions for your next contest.

Thank you for the comment there... I just wanted to create a contest where any kind of anime art could get proper exposure...
What you said is exactly what I was wondering after posting the contest details.
Before posting the details of the contest I was wondering how should the winner be decided...and thought people would consider on who to vote based on what they feel is the best art work out there! (I was wrong on that)
I saw my mistake properly when new artists who just started on steemit joined the contest had good art works but no one upvoted for them.
I would properly apologise for this to everyone who participated and reconsider the details, maybe get an expert artist to curate the art and see who deserves to win. or i'll try to decide the winner myself for the next one.
thank you for taking the time to comment.
I'll try hard to fix things for the next one! :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Well I consider your contest a success when it comes to engagement. A lot of views here and participation going. Just needs some room for improvement and I'm glad you already gained some insight on what to do better for the next contest. There's no need to apologize this. It's your contest your rules and people are free to participate. Good luck on your next contest. I might've joined this one if I wasn't busy on other matters.

Thanks for your acknowledgement!
I'll look forward to see you in the next one.
Thank you!
Keep steeming!

Nice to see you have already several participants in the contest!

For your information, I just included it in my weekly contest list which I publish on Mondays :
πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸŽ¨ Unleash your creativity 19/02-26/02 ! List of ongoing drawing, painting and crafts contests

Maybe this will trigger some more participants :)
I wish you lots of success!

Thank you for including this in the list...
Yeah...the response is better than I expected, Im happy about it!
I also saw your posts. I'm glad you're doing so much for the steemit community with freelancer guild... We need more people like you who'll spread information and help other fellow steemians.
