Louistrations

It's finally finished, woo! This is a request made as a prize for being my 100th watcher on DeviantArt. I had a lot of creative freedom over what to draw, he requested something either Victorian or steam punk and I ended up doing a little bit of both.

I had a lot of fun making this, but to be honest I think I was overly ambitious which was detrimental - a lot of the time I felt too daunted to even work on it! I've worked on it on and off for several months so it has a long history; it was inked traditionally, the characters went through a lot of alterations and just recently I had the opportunity to work on the colouring while traveling on a train!

The characters are original but I don't intend to use them again. Please feel free to think of your own names and backstories explaining why they're riding so recklessly on the front of a moving train!

A quick drawing based on a close friend of mine, made for no apparent reason or occasion.

A picture for the Japanese Doll Festival on March 3rd, also known as girls day. I'm sorry for any inaccuracies, I didn't particularly want to draw all seven platforms! XD

I love the little Japanese dolls, they're the epitome of cuteness. I don't own any (except for a key ring), but I have a small framed picture that I bought when I was in Kyoto. This picture is directly inspired from it.

This picture was drawn and coloured just over 3 years ago, but it was never completed. It was a shame for something so ridiculously cute to be left unfinished, so I finally got round to doing the finishing touches. Be happy little diver!
