Smoker’s Voitar by `Yamino on deviantART

This was inspired by my discovery that I can turn my voice into a guitar.

Smoker is the vocalist of Freen in Green, the animated band! I not only provide her vocals, but all our album/concept art, too. Here’s our site if you want to hear our music! http://freeningreen.wordpress.com/

And here’s a sneak preview of the next Sister Claire page.  I love Olga! We’ll get to see a lot more of her soon. <3

Also, I saw this today and couldn’t resist editing it slightly. If you aren’t already reading Wonderella, you really should! It’s hilarious. <3

I ran into some troubles with sending the package from Europe (lol volcano) but I have some AMAZING friends in CA who printed and mailed my entire application for me. <3  Fingers crossed!
Tomorrow will be ENTIRELY dedicated to finishing the next Sister Claire page! WOO.  And while you wait, here’s  a little something that’s long-overdue:

It’s taken me long enough, but I finally added my vocals to the instrumental. It’s pretty ROCKIN’. I think you should go listen RIGHT NOW. >8D

Ah~

I’m Free!

Freen…

Freen in Green!

We’re roaring riding to the scene
Pimpalicious death machine
Pumping steam
Pink ice cream
Damn, it’s good being Freen in Green!

I’m so pumped up
I bleed caffeine
The world’s my marble
I’m the queen!
Glitterific cosmic beam
Damn, it’s good being Freen in Green!

————
Eenie meenie minie moe
Catch a genie let her go
Rub that marble
Nice and slow
We’ll make music, don’t you know

Smoke and mirrors
Flash and flare
Psyscho bubble double dare

I scream you scream
We all scream for Freen in Green
—-
Surfin in a submarine
Go back in a time machine
This lyric’s gonna get obscene,
What the fuck else rhymes with green!?

(It’s not easy being Freen… You know what I mean?)

Ah~
——-
Eenie meenie minie moe
Catch a genie let her go
Rub that marble
Nice and slow
We’ll make music, don’t you know

Smoke and mirrors
Flash and flare
Psyscho bubble double dare

I scream you scream
We all scream for Freen in Green
——–

Ah~

Ah~

(Freen in Green! Yeah!)

Freen in Green!

Cha-cha-cha!

Hay-ya…yow!

Look for this song and many more by my band, Freen In Green, on the Rockband Network!

A massive Thank You to BonzaiRob for holding my hand through this strange and wondrous process.  It only took me like… 3 hours. D:  Maybe SOMEDAY I can dream of making Freen in Green music videos this way, but I’m still a very long way off. XD;

This is Smoker, my virtual vocalist from our REAL LIFE band, Freen in Green!

In case you’ve been wondering what I’ve been up to lately, and why I’ve been so quiet…it’s because I’ve been working hardcore with my band to get our cover/music video done in time for the Sega Allstars Racing contest! Starring Smoker (Yamino… aka ME!) the vocalist, Aptiva (Trav) the guitarist, Mint (Trekker) the drummer, and Adam as…. Adam.  Mysteri is our keyboardist (also played by Trav, and not appearing in this video).  The cover photo also has guest stars Bentley Jones (original writer of “So Much More…”) and Sonic! I trust you know him already. XD

I think it came out pretty good, considering I don’t really know ANYTHING about movie editing and we all had crappy webcams to work with. The song is what we spent the most time on, honestly. XD If you like it, you might also be interested in checking out our blog: http://freeningreen.wordpress.com/

We LOOOOOVE comments. XD

Freen in Green Album by ~Yamino on deviantART

This is the finished version of this sketch. There are still some issues to work out with some of the other character’s colors… so the palette may be changed a bit next time you see it.

Smoker: About time Yamino made a full color pic of the band! Now y’all have reference for your fanart. Get to it. ;D (And make me look hot!)

FiG Album Cover concept by ~Yamino on deviantART
Finished picture coming soon-ish!

I sketched this up for Trav’s birthday, which is today, the 23rd of January! He’s the guitarist and real leader of the band. His character is Aptiva, the dude with the mexican wrestling mask and the cape. XD

I (and Smoker!) are just figureheads, really. The token girl/s, if you will. If it wasn’t for Trav, I wouldn’t even be in the band! Why don’t you pop by and say HAPPY BERFDAY? ;D

Smoker’s wearing a different outfit than the last several times I drew her. This one is very Lady Gaga-inspired. (I adore Gaga, if you haven’t guessed! <3)

In the last few hours, I got a phone call that my computer had been totally fixed! New board, new battery, it’s practically fresh from the factory all over again. I fully expect it to sparkly gaily during our happy reunion tomorrow morning.

This means NEW SISTER CLAIRE PAGE COMING AT YOU TOMORROW! Because it was practically done when the computer crashed, it won’t take me long to finish it.

And best of all, I HAVE A PLACE TO STAY IN ANGOULEME! I send out emails to pretty much every host offering a room in their house in Angouleme, and she was one of the first to reply. She sounds like a great person! She even offered to pick me up at the train station, and she’s already hosting two other comic artists visiting for the same con, so it should be awesome. =)

Last but not least, my band is gearing up to enter a contest for an upcoming videogame, and not to toot our own horn, but I’m pretty sure we’re going to blast the competition out of the water with our submission. We’re going way overboard with all the work we’re putting into it, so I’m pretty sure we have a good chance of landing a feature in the game. :D FOR FREEN!

EDIT: OOH! ALSO! If you want a chance to win a FREE GABRIELLE SHIRT, you should totally enter the contest in the DA group GirlsExclusive! Click the link to learn more!

It’s a great time to get a shirt, because *I* just ordered a blue one for myself, and I have to say, I like it even better than the black. (It’s closer to my original vision, too!)

Also, here are some pictures of the sample books I got printed for the editors in Angouleme! Notice the big “PREVIEW VERSION” stickers. XD  These books are in black and white, and only contain the pages that are up on the site so far.  They’re just prototypes to show what the final book will look like.  The back also contains never before seen concept art, including some for unannounced characters appearing way off in the future.  These will be included in the first OFFICIAL print of the book as well! =)

Freen in Green Concepts by ~Yamino on deviantART

You’ll recognize "Smoker" as the character in my icon, as well as a sketch I posted earlier. Those of you who follow my blog know that I like to sing! Those of you who REALLY pay attention also know that I joined a band, Freen in Green!

We decided that rather that just be ourselves, we want to go the Gorillaz route and do an animated/comic band! Smoker is the vocalist, (I’ll be providing her vocals), Aptiva is the guitarist, Adam is the bassist, Trekker Mint is the drummer, and Mystery is the occasional keyboardist.

They characters all have really ridiculous detailed backstories (except for Mystery, nobody knows who the hell she is or even if she has a real name.)
