Belated Merry Christmas 2019 everyone! Myan is a reindeer girl here.
My train of thought:
This won the color poll! I really like the sketch I did here… which you should totally check out if you’re a patron that is. Anyway, I didn’t want to ruin it’s sketchy look , so I just cleaned it up rather than draw the lineart. Also tried out airbrushing and those anime blushes on shoulders/elbows/knees. Not bad I say!
My interpretation of Fishmeistercod’s suggestion, “A peek into Keith’s mind”. Also trying out a square format.

Those who follow me on Twitter or hangout in Discord will know I’ve been thinking about getting a Cintiq 16 as soon as I heard it existed. Well, I already bought it a few days ago and using it lots!
I was hoping that the Cintiq 16 is gonna be a game changer like when I got ClipStudio, so I wanted to test it out even if I have to travel a couple of hours to the city. The drawing on the left doesn’t look much, but my short time with it was enough to convince me. The discount the shop unexpectedly offered certainly didn’t hurt though! I guess it’s that Lazylonewolf charm eh? For my Philippine peeps, I tested and bought it at Ynzal.
And it really is a game changer! I’ve already been using it for some of the bonus art, and oh boy, drawing is a breeze and fun again. The disconnect between the monitor and the drawing tablet has always bothered me, and the Cintiq made apparent why I was not that motivated to draw. I’m also relieved since I was a bit worried that my drawing skills wouldn’t transfer well from when I was using the Intuos (my now older tablet). If nothing else, I’m motivated to work harder to earn back what I just spent so… commission me or become a patron please! And of course, thank you my current patrons, donors, and anyone who’s browsing with adblock off!
If you’re an artist, I’d definitely suggest getting one if you can. It’s so much more reasonably priced compared to the Cintiq Pro 16, not to mention they’ve fixed some of the problems with it. I can actually afford the Pro 16, though it’s still way too expensive which is why I changed my mind. Now I’m glad that I didn’t go ahead with that.
I need some honey for my bunnies~
Also an exercise at mimicking “The Quintessential Quintuplets” colors (well ok, I eyedropped them) from the covers. Haven’t had much practice coloring “white” people yet… or at least using a color palette with really pale colors, so might as well practice. Even eyedropped, I still have trouble perceiving them, or perhaps it just looks weird to me since I’m used to their default Cat Nine colors. And I tried putting some “blushes” on her shoulders and knees like in certain art styles. I don’t really like those whenever I see them, but yeah they do make white-ish characters more interesting to look at.

Thanks for the beans Hothead!
She’s either asking if you like what you see, or if you’d like to participate in some sort of private physical activity with her. I wonder what that could be?
If Myan’s inspired by Sailor Moon, then Tammy’s inspired by Cutie Honey!
This one dedicated for my KitTens! Though er, in the end only one of them showed up and made two out of three suggestions here, but it was enjoyable for everyone nonetheless!
Who wore it better? Yugo Ryan suggested something formal for January’s KitTen Art, so I went with Miss Universe Philippine’s dress. Don’t care for pageants, but it’s a heckin nice dress!
