Fanart Corner - Groups of Letters

Hello!Project sure loves naming some of their groups with random letters so they are harder to Google, huh?

Ai Kago and Nozomi Tsuji Cartoons

W/Double You~! I had fun drawing their cutesy outfits and their likenesses, but the anatomy is terrible, even for a chibi. Look at those knees! But this was the first of this series that I drew.

Ayaka Wada, Chinami Tokunaga, Momoko Tsugunaga, Risa Niigaki, Maasa Sudo, and Saki Ogawa Cartoons

ZYX alpha: DAWA, Chii, Momo, Gaki, Maasa, and Sakichy. I had fun with poses in this one. Yay for gangsta Momo, Gaki, and Sakichy. And I laugh at how I portrayed Chii. But that's so her, right?

(She's probably sleeping.)

Fanart Corner - The Kids and the Ladies

More cartoons of the revival units! Only a few more posts of old art left!

Akari Takeuchi, LinLin, Karin Miyamoto, Kanon Fukuda Cartoons

Shin Minimoni: Takechan, LinLin, Karin, and Kanyon. So many distinct faces and characters to draw, even thought I'm not as satisfied with how Kanyon turned out. But Karin! I'm so glad she has a group now and I have more reasons to draw her. So cute to draw!

Risako Sugaya, Sayumi Michishige, and JunJun Cartoons

Zoku V-u-den: Risako, Sayu, and JunJun. Leeegs. And Risako's duck face, lol.

Idol Challenge 28 - Same Stripes

30 Day Idol Challenge #28: Which idol gives you special memories of something or someone?

Aika. I tried to convert a close friend to idols because Aika reminds me so much of him. Alas, idols just don't appeal to him, somewhat because of the language barrier and probably somewhat because it's something I like and he would rather tease me about it (I don't know, if he likes something first, we can chat and laugh about it, but if I'm big into something, I'm usually not able to get him to take interest. But he's the one that helped get me into Pokemon, my number one fandom! But out of some H!P pictures I showed him, he admitted Momo was cute, so at least that's something?) Anyway, what especially links Aika in my mind to him is their love of animals. Whenever Aika talks about her favorite animals, I think, "He would so get along with Aika!"





Note: Yup, I'm finishing these after about a year hiatus. Has a 30-Day Challenge ever gone on this long? Maybe I'm special.

Fanart Corner - Coolios Idol Cereal

Both of these are extremely dated by now, thanks to one leaving for a group outside Hello!Project and another getting a drastic shortcut...

Aa! Chibi

Aa!: Akari Saho (Up Up Girls/former Egg), Airi, and Miyabi. Similear image to Buono!, just sans the goofy Momo. I personally like the movement I was able to capture in Saho's pose.

Chisato Okai Caricature

Chisato Okai of C-ute caricature. I love love love how she turned out; cute, sporty, with a cool hairstyle. But that soccer ball/football. I should not draw soccer/footballs. (Or rather, I should draw them until they become worthy enough to grace Chisa's presence.)

Looks like I've run out of caricatures to post for now!

Fanart Corner - Gachapin and a Future Model

Soooo... this first one is a doozy considering her recent scandal and all...

Minami Minegishi

Miichan, Minami Minegishi from AKB48. I should have drawn her in a silly or cartoony pose. Then it might have actually looked like her...

Yurina Kumai Caricature

Yurina Kumai from Berryz caricature. This was the one I was really looking forward to drawing, since I thought it would be funny if she could hardly fit in the picture due to her height. I hope I can execute this concept better in the future.

Fanart Corner - Queens of Diva

I'm going to start posting another old series, this time done in "chibi" style. In 2009, I decided to draw all the new shuffle groups, but I didn't finish them until early 2011, so some are way older than others.

High-King Chibi

High-King: Yuuka, Aichan, Reina, Maimi, and Captain. Leaders and aces. Highlights for me are Reina's kitty face and Yuuka's glare. The other girls don't really look like themselves to me.

Sayumi Michishige Caricature

Sayumi Michishige of Morning Musume. This was actually the first of the caricatures I drew, back in,I think, spring of 2009. Some parts of it I like and wish later caricatures were more like it, but I see areas where I improved, too. (Her eyes and one of her hands are weak.)
