“Evolution of Gaga” print

by Yamino on September 2nd, 2010
Posted In: Blog

Fellow monsters, your wish is my command! The "Evolution of Lady Gaga" image is now a poster!

If you’re on the fence, here two great reasons to consider buying it:

1. All purchases will prove to Topatoco that I’m a valuble artist to promote on their site, and will convince them to print some of my original work! This is really important to me, and your support will not go unappreciated. The day I can get some of my original comic work sold there, I’ll draw a special Gaga pic to celebrate and thank all my fellow monsters for their help. <3

2. Topatoco has amazing service and print quality! They’re awesome hilarious people, just look at their site and you’ll know what I mean.

I may have a "silhouette" version t-shirt in the works, if you’d prefer it.  I’m still talking to them about that. XD

Bothering Sofie

I’m on a ROLL tonight.  To wash out the bad taste of some obnoxious douchey comments I was getting on DA, as well as the bad news that the Blue Ranger quite due to homophobic comments, I wanted to draw one more thing to end the night- er, morning- on a happy note:

Sofie Study

by Yamino on August 27th, 2010

A study of Sofie, the protagonist of my upcoming comic, Nightingale.

Sofie is the main character, and yet lately I haven’t drawn much of her at all! I am trying to give her that sleepy-eyed, English Rose look. I don’t think I’ve quite succeeded. I should also be less lazy and do more finished art with long hair. I still don’t really know how to draw it properly in 3D with shading/color.

I’m going to start paying closer attention to models like Holly/Ivory Flame, who have the type of classical look I’m going for:

Sweet jesus would you look at the SIZE OF THIS THING?! AHAHAHA WOOOW

The Evolution of Gaga

Evolution of Lady Gaga by `Yamino on deviantART

Here is a much anticipated final image, commissioned by the Bark+Bite blog for this Gaga article!

Feel free to tweet/reblog it around on Gaga communities if you feel so inspired. It would blow my MIND she tweeted about it. If you do tweet, please credit me @Yamino! <3

P.S. Sorry about the watermarks, but I’ve learned my lesson since the last time one of my Gaga pics went viral and everyone and their mother was trying to make a profit off it. XD;

Save a poor artist’s back, get art!

by Yamino on August 20th, 2010

Hey guys! My friend :iconskybison: just opened up commissions to raise money to cover her medical expenses for a back injury. Please check it out, she is very talented and you won’t find this quality of art for this price very often! You get gorgeous art, and you can feel good about helping someone out at the same time. <3

Check out her commissions post here!

She’ll draw almost anything, but I bet what she’d like most would be femmeslashy Avatar fanart. XD

Here are some samples of her artwork:

Sister Claire…Remix!?

by Yamino on July 21st, 2010

Some of my coloring on the older pages of the comic are HORRENDOUS.  In order to make the comic suitable for print, I am going back through all 112 pages to fix them up.  It almost feels like making the comic all over again. XD;;

Nightingale Research Trip, Day 1

by Yamino on July 6th, 2010
Posted In: Blog
As I mentioned a few times on Twitter, I’m currently in Amsterdam on a research trip for my upcoming comic, Nightingale. =D
I can’t believe more stories aren’t set in Amsterdam. This city is pure magic.

Took a 70 minute canal ride around the city, got a lot of great reference photos- hoping to take a tour of/sneak into some tall buildings tomorrow, to get some rooftop/superhero angle shots.






Red Light district! Lololol

I also found the PERFECT Sofie’s house:

More pics coming soon! It takes forever to upload from this stolen wireless. >_>

After having dinner at a delicious Thai restaurant, my bro and I headed over to Boom Chicago, comedy improv club. I remembered them since befriending Heather Anne Campbell, an extremely talented and hilarious lady who was part of the cast during their Vienna show.

During the show, I was picked when they asked the audience if anyone had a business card. They gave me a short interview, asking what my job was, what was this business about Lady Gaga on my shirt (I was wearing this one. XD)  Then,one of the actors impersonated me as if I were a Dutch politician. (Dutch politics were the theme of that night’s show.)

As if my entire evening hadn’t already been made by that awesomeness, on our way “home” to the hotel (which is very close to the red light district) I saw some strippers poledancing to Lady Gaga songs in a brightly lit window.  I am truly among my people here.

Tomorrow we’re having breakfast at a place called “PANCAKES!”. No, I’m not exaggerating, that’s really their name… exclamation point, and all. XD

Hopefully I can catch an orchestral concert or a ballet while I’m here. A Nightingale research trip just wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the Concertgebauw. More updates soon!
