Fanart: Kaname al la Marilyn Monroe
Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2004 9:45 am
I've been really aggrivated/disappointed at the amout of original fanart there is out there, almost everything I've found has been copied off of either Tateo or Douji. SO! Best way to fix it is to do it yourself! The covers of the mangas inspired this to some extent, I was looking at how Kaname's skirt is always blowing around and it reminded me of that ever so famous Marilyn Monroe picture from "Seven Year Itch."Joe DiMaggio divorced her because of it.... here's hoping Sousuke doesn't feel the same way
When drawing this I didn't use the Marilyn picture as reference, simply because I don't have any books with the picture in it (and I don't draw at my computer desk.) I did use the first black-and-white page of volume 1 of the manga as reference though, to get Kaname's uniform to look something like it should. Hands and feet are practically every artist's weak spot, so yeah.... I'll be working on it.
It's a sketch, so it's going to look kind of... eh. In my sketchbook it looks much better, but it's only lightly sketched so it doesn't scan well. I'd like to ink it, but am sorely lacking good quality paper to ink on, and if I try to do it in my sketchbook the ink bleeds everywhere. If I get/find the materials I'll post the pic.
I'd like to also draw Sousuke in a suit, with his back facing the camera (so he's facing Kaname) but ergh, guys in suits... I just don't have the experience or reference material yet. I'll be working on that too. Anyway, enjoy!!
