At the beginning, I was trying to figure out what I like or LOVE to do again. Then, I decide go look into deviantart.com . At first glare, these attracted me.

Yes, I like character's design and to be specific. Japanese influenced character designs.

I inspired by Japanese Anime/Manga Drawing Style at the beginning that I changed my mind to join Art. But, that time I was struggled, do this hobby really 'SELL'? Do this really the thing I work on in order to get paid off? I was struggled so long and throughout so many times on research and stuffs. I finally made a decision, I don't need to worry about will I get paid or not, is on how I gonna get my own designs & artworks to get pay. So then I was trying to do some own character's design.

In the beginning, it does not turn out that kind of characters that I wanted. Instead, it turn out more worst than I expected. 'Apologies, no picture source.'. Later, I trying to do copy first in order to improve understanding of human figure(japanese animation character style) . So far, I was bound to just do copy(considered stillife drawing?) and never think about own ideas.

But now, I need to change my mindset. Start off everything with my own ideas. I found a japanese community(as the link above) that similar to deviantart(global) to get more references. I know there are so many websites out there, I need suggestions! (Characters design).

3D Characters.

Of course, I will not only planning on design just 2D characters. I want some 3Ds for selling to my favorite gaming and animation company.

I personally prefer drawing feminine's characters.

But, I will do male as well.

1. If cool, it must to be very cool. (Mecha, Dragons, Monsters, Creatures or even combined)

2. Adorable monsters, animals, characters.

3. Different taste in Characters(priority = feminine). If you ask me why, my only answer = they are adorable to me. I have no further answers for you.
