Something else we want to try to do at our shop is hoodies.  Of course, being the Shin Megami Tensei fangirl that I am, I had to sketch out some ideas from Persona :) The first is a Black Frost hoodie (that can easily be turned into the other jacks) and the second is a hoodie based on Yosuke’s persona, Jiraiya.  I mostly wanted to try sketching a Jiraiya hoodie because the colors are fun ^^

Again, we’re aiming for having some of these done for Anime Milwaukee next year.  There will, at least, be a hoodie done by Christmas of Sukuna Hikona, since that’s my partner’s Christmas gift to me :)

New shop idea!  Video game themed dresses, skirts, and other things of that nature.  I really like how the skirt turned out, and skirts/dresses like this is something we want to do.  Open skirts that reveal some sort of game level, and things of that nature  :)

We hope to premiere some of this at Anime Milwaukee next year!

The first dress is Tetris inspired, the second shirt and skirt is Mario inspired.  For the Tetris dress, the ruffles are covered in Tetris blocks along with a matching belt.  For the shirt and skirt, the shirt has piranha plant trim with a matching belt on the skirt.  The skirt itself is green like a pipe, and it opens up to show the level that the pipe tends to take you to  :)

Progress picture time!  (again)  When going to the fabric store, I discovered wooden books on clearance.  I’ve never seen them since then, and I debated with myself on what to put on them.  After seeing the first episode of My Little Pony, I knew :)

The outside is woodburned (still need to finish it) and the inside was going to be colored pencil, but I’m going to paint it instead (but woodburn the pony inside).  Hopefully should be done tonight  ^^

I’m not sure what to sell it as, though.  Any thoughts?  I was thinking like a jewelry box or something?

Progress pictures of the Jack Frost mirror I’m making.  I originally was going to leave it at the four woodburned ones, but after realizing that there’s many more Jacks out there, I thought they all needed love.

The only ones I didn’t include are the ones in Soul Hackers, who look like the standard Jack Frost but are just different colors, which wouldn’t really work on a woodburning since I’m not going to paint it.  

Debating on either painting the Shin Megami logo on the glass, or painting “HEE HOO” on it  ^^  Leaning more towards “Hee Hoo”  :)

Sketching a button for Shadow! Adachi that says “Cabbage Patch” and a crossdressing! Kanji one that says, “Marilyn.”  

Fucks given = Still Zero

Also, my partner found an old mirror I had sketched that was supposed to be Izanagi, but I had messed it up and tried to erase it but the pencil was too dark.  So she says, “Turn it into Adachi’s persona,” and I go, “No… o.k. yes.”  Pictures soon!

Randomly… I need to move onto another series to make, seriously, or the whole Anime Iowa table we have is going to be Persona Con 2012.

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

Was that me who said I was done with Persona 4 coasters?  Yeah… that’s a lie.  This is just a sketch and will be woodburned.  I always sketch on the coasters first then burn/shade them.  This time, it’s Naoto’s turn.  With the novel coming out soon I wanted to do something with both versions of her (because I actually like her new design and her old design).

Around the edge I want to write her quote from the game, “I am a woman.  And a detective,” because, you know, just because her new design is more womanly doesn’t make her less awesome.  I mean… she’s got a motorcycle now! a male cyborg motorcycle but still a motorcycle…

… you’ve sketched 26 coasters to woodburn for Anime Iowa and 10 of them are Persona 4 related.  I know that doesn’t sound like a lot, but there’s like, only one or two from other series.  Persona 4 keeps dominating.  I have got to move on!

After a few more sketches… I can stop whenever I want, I don’t have a problem!

New fandom means new art from me  :)  This is just a progress picture, but soon it will be a woodburned coaster.  When doing the coasters, I sketch on them first, then I burn over the lines and add shading, sometimes paint, and it ends up looking like this: http://cutiechibi.deviantart.com/gallery/30062385#/d4pniak well… depending on how much I burn it, but you get it  :) 

I couldn’t help but fall in love with these two, especially after a certain episode take my tears, Fate/Zero, you’ve earned them.  Heart-shaped coasters are meant for my OTPs  ^^  I may do other coasters of the other characters, just because Fate/Zero is so awesome.

As always, I do take commissions, feel free to check out the shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop

More soon to be woodburned sketches.  What to do with rectangle blocks of wood?  Well, THIS, obviously (at least if you’re a crazy Persona fan)  ^^  The first one is of Yukiko in those glasses, you know, THOSE glasses  :)  The second and third are Kanji and Naoto.  I think, next, I want to do Adachi with caution tape.
