Happy New Year, one and all! Hope you all keep yourselves safe on this New Year's Eve and don't get out of control. Myself? I will be hitching a car ride outta here, 'cuz I'm heading north for MAGFest!
This will be my first ever MAGFest, and I am super excited. Well, as much as I can be; I came down with a blasted ailment last week and it's still affecting me as I type this. So I unfortunately may not be in as high of spirits as I want to be, but I'm still looking forward to see any of my readers who may happen to be there. Just don't expect me to have the energy of a jackrabbit or anything.
Once I return from this excursion and my health is back to normal, work on the 2013 retrospective art and reviews will recommence, so look forward to it!
A Season's Greetings, and Merry Christmas from Pachi's Portrait to you! Stay safe and enjoy the holidays in whatever way is appropriate to you!
2013 is coming to a close, and what a year it's been! It's been a lot of fun jumping into the world of anime reviews this past year while simultaneously sharing more art. I'd like to thank all of you still reading this for sticking around for another year indulging my little hobby - it truly means the world to me. I've got more ideas lined up for 2014, so let's see where the new year takes us! On the way in the next month will be my 2013 Anime Wrap-up and Review Retrospective, as well as regular end-of-season reviews and more one-off art to make a return. Look forward to it all, I promise I'll do my best! :D
This drawing was a last minute multi-stage effort - I drew myself and PachiPenguin by hand but wasn't sure what kind of backdrop to put us in. My first idea was to have a little wreath surrounding us, but that's such an overdone kind of Christmas card image. Then I thought the circle I'd encased them in could pass as a snowball, and that idea evolved into a snowman(penguin)! I drew the snowpenguin in Photoshop, with the mouse (not my Wacom) in order for it to be of crude construction. As for why we're waist deep in snow.........I didn't draw anything below the waist. Cutting corners saves the day again!
