(I'm not very well-versed in western culture, something may have lost in translation.)
I have been meaning to do this for a while, but I wasn’t sure if I could handle it, selling stuff online is kinda scary to me, but there’s gotta be first step right? Also sorry if this is a cumbersome way to do it. I hope I can find better way to handle things in the future!
Please read how to order throughly, thanks!

I’m working hard on my comics, that’s why I’m posting less lately. There’s one main project I’m working on, one side project, and 3 other ideas I’m developing, a bunch of oneshots ideas. I wish I could draw faster just so I can get these stuff outta my head and on to the papers.
argh anyway, here’s some art!
First, Finished CG!
There’s bigger size on DA, check it out.
Second, These are inspired by Faith Erin Hicks’s post here. Quick art is fun.

Each are done in a couple of minutes, I should really do more of these, any requests? XD
This one is for my on-again off-again online comic, I relaunched it recently, but still running old materials, I’ll let you know here when there’s new stuff up there. (and there will be!)
Random doodle to test new ink/brush, I’m settling for windsor & newton series 7 size 2, and speedball ink, altho it’s a bit too thin for my taste, I’ll try other inks later. 
This, is something I tried to do now and then, because I’m in no position to attend life drawing class or stuff like that, I pause DVD and sketch after it, this is from Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban. (I know it’s not the same thing as life drawing, but it’s the next best thing for me) 
Lastly, a CG WIP. not sure if I’ll get to finish this one. 
Till next time, ta!
For anyone who wanted stickers, they are shipped! with pocky cat! (you’ll know what I mean when you got them XD). Hopefully I can draw a couple more within this month.
Here’s some quicky. I need to draw more zombies, I think, zombies are hot.


These little chibi (or SD, whichever term you prefered) are something I did for fun awhile ago. The feedback I got for them was encouragingly positive and I enjoyed doing them. I called them collectively as 「いろいろ怖い物」(iroirokowaimono = various scary things?). It will be a collection of my takes on various mythology figures, ghosts, folklore, or even urban legends.
Here are first installments. There’s (from left to right, top to bottom)
Koame – literally, small rain, light rain, not exactly a real myth figure, but :D
Waruineko – literally ‘bad cat’, no, it’s not really myth figure either.
Ushiwakamaru – If you read enough manga, you’ll know him, he defeated Benkei on the bridge while looking like a girl and grow up to be Minamoto no Yoshitsune, haha.
Kappa – sorta like water ghost, he likes water.
Rounin – ..ok, if we are gonna play game ‘what doesn’t belong to the group’ this would be the answer. but it’s the first one I did that inspired me to do other designs. So give him some props.
Okiku – She’s famous ghost of maid girl who was killed (somehow, by, in or with the well) as a punishment for losing a precious dish. There’s various version of the story.
My friend, who preferred to remain unnamed (because it was cool!) had made a bunch of stickers from these designs to give away at ECCC and NORWESCON. If you were those lucky people, congrats! I still didn’t have them yet XD



While supplies last, if anyone wants a pack of six stickers, let me know. Email me your address at shari.hes at gmail dot com.
If you have some suggestion what I should do with these little ones, let me know! XD

Q: Will this last me a month?
A: probably not. I really need to learn to drink something else besides coke.

Finished this yesterday, long time coming.
I haven’t got time to doodle anything new yet, maybe this weekend, while everyone else is at ECCC. *weep*
I’m pretty happy that everything is still sorta on schedule so far. Time flies this year.
I have been neglecting comic, in favor of spending my time trying to find out the way to do color illustration that I most enjoy.
I have always like rougher style but it is hard to achieve for me, how can you leave it rough but also looked finish? I envy anyone who able to pull that off with ease. To me, it was a conscious struggling effort, but I tried.

started with doodle, I actually didn’t know what I was going to draw at this point, bad practice!

I think Ducks made everything better.

how about some dessert?

and maybe flowers, PINK flowers.

and Geta, can’t do without that.

Now finishing up.
I like this workflow quite alot, it’s like a combination of painting and drawing, before, I either paint without lineart, or do lineart and ‘coloring’, this is sorta inbetween. I’m started to get the hang of it, expect more like this later!
Josou Paradise (女装パラダイス) is a Japanese tv show that take highschool boys, put them in woman’s clothes and make up, and (later) going around fooling people. It’s fun, it’s wacky (like most Japanese tv shows wont to be) and addictive, I watched all I could find on youtube, which wasn’t many, but still manage to steal half a day from me…
… and inspired me to draw this. 
(check it on DA for bigger size and also stroke my bruised DA ego, thanks!)




Eros and Anteros, you might not be familiar with Anteros (spellchecker ain’t, haha). He was given to Eros as a playmate *snigger* and basically a copy of Eros himself. I haven’t done full-blown CG for a while. The reason? I’m very slow when it comes to CG, and often not happy enough with the result. Perhaps I just need more practice, but I also want to finish a lot of comics. So I’d be happy if I can finish one cg every couple of months T_T
A bunch of WIPs
It started with this: 
It just sat there for ages and I can’t bring myself to finish it.
I was coerced (read: kicked in the butt) by my friend to finish this piece, because it was nice concept, so I decided to give it another try, might as well give it a new go, from the start: 
a few hours later, getting there: 
Started on the faces, probably what took most of the times *polish polish polish* :

Time for the rest of the bodies: 
Wings details (day 3): 
Various other details that I really dreaded doing:
I almost called this done at one point, but figured since I have come this far…: 
It was pretty hard to decide when to call it done, I kept going on and on and on with wings and the ground until I realized it looked quite the same zoomed out, I had a tendency to over-polishing the unseen details, need to work off that habit.

This is a commission for a children book. I don’t know if I like it or not, something seems a bit off, but I haven’t done any color illustration for a while, I just can’t seem to find the balance to practice BOTH illustration and comicking.
And as a disclaimer, this is a homage to this comic page, as per client’s request. (I need to cover my ass)
Now for the WIP.
