I decided to start my own thread, since it seems to be legio around here.
I realized I hadn't drawn Utshou before, so let's start with her! The burning raven of Hell! The Nuclear Nuisance! The vengeful fist of an angry god! The power of a thousand suns! She who put the "end" in "endboss"! She who put "Sweet mother of mercy!" in "OH GOD WHAT THE HELL"! She who was friends with a catgirl! The rumbling inferno of the deepest earth, and a pretty awesome girl all around. Cheers.

That control rod's lookin' pretty fucking sweet. Even has crosshairs on it, will she bother to aim now?

Ragathol · « **Reply #2 on:** October 19, 2011, 10:04:24 pm »

Thanks. Nah, she'll probably just keep throwing suns everywhere.

I finished my Parsee figurine!
I think it turned out pretty well, after all. It's only my second model. This was made with Super Sculpey(oven-baking clay), but I want to try out Magic Sculpt(two-part epoxy putty) as well.
Painted with Citadel and Vallejo paints.

Wow, how long did Parsee take you to make?

Ragathol · « **Reply #4 on:** October 20, 2011, 12:43:58 am »

A couple of weeks, all in all. I didn't really count, but likely 20+ hours.

Did the clay dry out before baking?

Ragathol · « **Reply #6 on:** October 20, 2011, 12:44:08 pm »

No, it doesn't dry, but I baked her a little when the base body with underpants and head were done, to avoid messing it up later. So it's possible to bake it in layers to secure what's been done, but it's harder to fasten fresh clay on the baked surface later.
See the gallery I linked in the general art thread for more shots of the building process, or see my Deviantart gallery for even more info.
Here's a face shot.

I love the sense of movement you put into Utsuho, her crazy face is awesome and, of course, your colours are great. Parsee is also cool, I'm loving your attention to detail (like her sock falling down) and the detail on the base is wonderful.

Marokuu · « **Reply #8 on:** October 21, 2011, 07:47:39 pm »

Dat Okuu.

I just love any drawing of Utsuho that displays that sort of emotion on her face and your style lends itself so well to that sort of face.

Yeah, that's all I've got to say, now to stare at it some more.

Ragathol · « **Reply #9 on:** October 22, 2011, 03:46:58 pm »

Thanks! Have some more, due to the previous lack of Utsuhos!

Takamachi Ruroha · « **Reply #10 on:** October 22, 2011, 05:06:08 pm »

Her mouth seems oddly small in that one. Kind of expected it to be bigger from your previous picture.

And god damn I love how you did the stretching lines in her shirt around the bottom of her breasts. That's something that's always tripped me up. I also like how she's wearing her arm cannon on her right arm and not over it (since we can see her hand and all).

Ragathol · « **Reply #11 on:** October 22, 2011, 06:10:21 pm »

This is moeblob mode, mouths don't get larger than that!
Thanks, I wanted to use both her hands, so it's an external cannon glove this time.

Marokuu · « **Reply #12 on:** October 23, 2011, 06:42:45 pm »

That's moeblob mode? She looks ready to bite someone's face off... or at least nibble at their nose.

I'll agree with the cannon glove being a nice idea though.

Ragathol · « **Reply #13 on:** October 23, 2011, 10:51:02 pm »

It's as moeblob as I can get

J.O.B · « **Reply #14 on:** October 24, 2011, 09:43:23 am »

Raga, your art is still awesome!

May I request a Suwako?

There there. *pat*

I think it's just the expression that makes me think that, her actual facial shape is noticably more "blobby" than usual but her teeth and eyebrows adds up into making her look threatening anyways.

Ragathol · « **Reply #16 on:** October 24, 2011, 06:03:09 pm »

She is an evil god, after all.
I should draw Suwako! Comin' up.

Happy Birthday, Yukari-sama!
Ran... do I really look this old..?!

Takamachi Ruroha · « **Reply #17 on:** October 24, 2011, 06:36:09 pm »

I can just see her head twitching as she tries to turn it, like a malfunctioning robot. Along with a slow creaaaaaaaaaaaaaak as she turns her head 180 degrees.

Tunasatomimi no Miko · « **Reply #18 on:** October 24, 2011, 08:33:09 pm »

Haha, nice one. Love how you draw the faces, they convey the whole situation perfectly without any need for words.

Ragathol · « **Reply #19 on:** November 12, 2011, 12:25:54 am »

Thanks!
Here are some "notes" from various meetings and seminars I've attended lately.

Stuffman · « **Reply #20 on:** November 12, 2011, 01:31:15 am »

Hahahaha yeah

Yoshika's fight is pretty much "here have a fucking pile of kunais"

Takamachi Ruroha · « **Reply #21 on:** November 13, 2011, 02:57:43 am »

What's Marisa saying in her word bubble?

Ragathol · « **Reply #22 on:** November 13, 2011, 01:37:56 pm »

Stuffman: An awful lot of knives overall in TD... Boss 5 has even taken Sakuya's knives!

Takakura: Just some notes from my co-operative building society's meeting(I'm the secretary)... "Commissioning letter from Ziffran Accounting for accounting services has arrived."

Ragathol · « **Reply #23 on:** November 16, 2011, 02:29:19 am »

Two more sketches from today.

...
SATORI!

I love Satori.

Orin's pose is really cute as well.

Takamachi Ruroha · « **Reply #25 on:** November 16, 2011, 07:33:58 pm »

Hmm. This might be a weird question, but: Rags, if you had to draw the Komeijis without clothing, where would you attach the cords of their Third Eyes to? Clothing is good at hiding the parts where the cords must enter the body, so you can never see that sort of thing.

This man has the right idea.

Also for a moment I thought there was a skull in Orin's ribbon but it was probably just my mind playing tricks on me.

One is obviously attached to her hairband heart, which I guess is more of a permanent thing. The others should go into her neck or something.

Marohukuu: Yes, it's skulls.

J.O.B · « **Reply #28 on:** November 18, 2011, 12:01:31 am »

But in Satori's ZUN art the cords are attached to the headband, their arms (there are hearts on their sleeves), one goes near her collar, and another goes near what is arguably her "private" area.
With Koishi she just has two cords attached to her shoes.

Vyrien · « **Reply #29 on:** November 18, 2011, 02:43:11 am »

I think the real mystery here is how on earth they take off/put on their clothes whilst still keeping the cords and eye outside said clothes. Unless they just sort of phase through or have a shitload of zips and buttons, which would be most hilarious to see.
