Urm… yeah, uh… cross-dressing Kanji coaster! I don’t know where I got the idea of just having the hair and scar, but then I felt it was missing something so… get bent? I dunno, I’m rather fond of crossdressing Kanji (or any form of Kanji, really…) so… ta da? And it’s heart-shaped because… o.k. you know what, I don’t need a reason, please to be getting bent!
A sort of close of picture from the massive post I made of coasters. Playing with shading with a woodburner is fun :) I also feel the need to paint Naoto’s hat no matter what I’m doing for her, I don’t know why ^^;;;
Sadly I didn’t get to the entire team, but I do have two more on the way: Adachi and Yukiko (with those weird glasses). It’s convention crunch time, so yeah, this blog is going to be full of random things I’ll be selling at Anime Iowa.
Just sketched out a heart-shaped coaster for crossdressing!Kanji that says “Get Bent,” and am now sketching out a crossdressing!Yosuke button that says, “Strawberry Shortcake.”
Fucks given = 0
Just one this morning, of THAT logo woodburned onto a coaster. I swear, this logo… it’s going to be the death of me but I can’t seem to NOT make things without it on there because I’m so obsessed. One day, I’ll probably make an elaborate wineglass then, as I’m painting, curse myself for even trying it >.<
Anyhow, I wanted to do it in white, because woodburning doesn’t show up too well on black. And the “Shin Megami Tensei” part is burned around the edge, too.
As always, coasters are always safe to use. Check out the shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop
This week I need to get back to working on things before going to L.A. for E3, so expect more pictures soon! (I hope)
Two more Black Butler coasters, this time it’s the Undertaker’s turn. I love him so much actually I pretty much love everyone in Black Butler o.k.?! and I wanted to do something with his normal form and then that, ahem, other form of his that’s really awesome with the kick ass scythe. But then he had that whole thing with his face at the end of the record, and I just couldn’t help myself ^^
So the first coaster is normal Undertaker, the second is… well, if you read the manga you know where it’s from :) As always, coasters are woodburned and safe to use. You can always check out the site here for commissions and other items that are available now: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop
Three Grell coasters I’ve made. The first two are part of the “Born This Way” series I have going, which can be seen here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/99962739/born-this-way-custom-coaster-you-pick and the last one is actually the very first Grell coaster I made, before I discovered the wonders of red paint. I mean… why wouldn't I want to splash something Grell related in red :)
Everything I make can be commissioned, you can send me a note here or check out the store linked above. The coasters have a protective coating on them to make them safe to use.
Shadow coasters! Shadow Kanji and Shadow Naoto are, by far, my two favorite shadows in Persona 4. Not just because of my feelings for the two characters, but because of how interesting I thought both of them were.
Shadow Kanji’s coaster actually says, “Born this Way, so GET BENT,” because it’s part of my “Born This Way” set seen here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/99962739/born-this-way-custom-coaster-you-pick on top of the whole “thug with a soft spot” the whole sexuality thing was thrown in there, too, which just added an entirely different, and interesting, dynamic. I thought it was really powerful when his shadow was like, “I just want to be accepted."
With Shadow Naoto, I really, really like how the anime did that whole scene. That shadow seemed to get really uncomfortably close and pretty much drove Naoto to break down, which I loved, because that’s what the shadows are supposed to do, right? Force you to face something you don’t want to admit to. Not to mention that she had to face her shadow alone (everyone else was outside the door, watching from T.V. screens, which added to the, "I don’t want to be alone,” vibe)
And thus, coasters :)
And now back to our regularly scheduled crafting. Persona 4 fandom, let’s go back to love and happiness! Give me your hearts! I’m beary serious!
All right, bear puns aside, this is another coaster I recently made :) Inspired by, well, beauty pageant Teddie and one of the win poses from Persona 4 arena, this coaster was born. As always, all coasters have a protective coating on them to make them completely usable :)
More sketches! So there’s this picture of Yu/Souji and Izanagi, it’s like their faces, side by side, half and half, and it looks really cool. I’ve made a mirror out of it before (http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1ymkyhHjp1rt1zjto1_500.jpg). About a month ago I got a commission to do a coaster of Adachi in this style. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures >.<
Of course this means that I have to do a set with everyone, including Adachi!
First up is Yu/Souji with his persona and Yosuke with his persona. Except, instead of using Izanagi, I wanted to use a different persona. The bestest persona there is. JACK FROST! I’ll probably paint him and woodburn Yu/Souji :)
Second is Yosuke/Jiraiya, or disco ninja frog ^^ This will be completely woodburned, but I might paint Jiraiya’s eye and red scarf ^^
What am I doing?! Now I’m pairing personas together along with their masters? Well, if this is the road we’re going down, let’s just do it!
I thought it might be cool (maybe?) to show progress pictures of the things I make, sort of a before and after. Starting with two new coasters of my OTP, Kanji and Naoto! Before I burn something, I sketch it on the wood first, then burn over the lines (and sometimes paint parts, too, still deciding on that for these two).
In the first heart-shaped coaster is Kanji and Naoto kissing. I don’t really draw kissing (in fact, this might be my first time) so I thought I’d give it a shot. The second is of their personas, Take-Mikazuchi and Sukuna Hikona, with Sukuna Hikona kissing Take-Makazuchi on his cheek (possibly might make the awesome, big persona blush).
Lately I’ve been doing a LOT of Persona 4 things. I’m trying NOT to, because I need to make a variety of things for our table at Anime Iowa (and our Etsy shop in general) but I can’t help myself! I’ll post more things tomorrow, probably, including the Magician glass progress ^^
