Crossover

COY 15 – May/Shirley/Jun

COY stands for Cross Over Yuri. The premise is pretty simple, I have a list I’ve compiled of over 600 cute girls from various anime and manga. I then use a random number generator to make pairing, which I then draw. Every third picture is a threesome.

I have mixed feelings on this one. On the one hand, I’m rather happy with the pose and I think that (mostly) it turned out well. I also really like all three of the characters in this one. I loved Shirley in Code Geass, most because I have a soft spot for school girl woobies. I like May, too, although she’s second to Misty in my list of Pokémon chicks. Jun was a girl I wasn’t familiar with until I started coloring GodOfChaos’s work, and she pops up a lot in his stuff. So I was good on those fronts.

But I don’t know… something’s off. I know what it is, but I don’t want to point it out in case it’s not as obvious to other people. You should know, though, that if anything here looks a bit weird, it’s because it looked weird in the photo reference I used. I checked and double-checked, and it’s just due to the odd angle or something.

COY 14 – Haruhi/Yayoi

COY stands for Cross Over Yuri. The premise is pretty simple, I have a list I’ve compiled of over 600 cute girls from various anime and manga. I then use a random number generator to make pairing, which I then draw. Every third picture is a threesome.

It should be noted that I’ve never actually watched My-HiME, and the only reference pic I could find of Yayoi Ota was one lo-res pic. I think I got her basic look right, it’s a simple design, but somehow she ended up looking a bit too old, here. So did Haruhi, for that matter.

This pic marks the first time that I’ve drawn an image, inked it, then decided it’s crap and started over. That’s right, this is a second draft. Now, I’m not terribly happy with how this turned out, but it’s a hell of a lot better than the first draft.

This is an example of how using a giant list of characters can turn out interesting combos. Neither of these characters are very prominent in the works in which they appear. Hell, I could only find one pic of Yayoi (and, like, two of Haruhi). If I was doing this series in any other manner, this pairing wouldn’t have ever come up. Hell, neither character would have ever come up.

DTiberius – Jennifer Hale Tribute

I love crossovers (shock and awe, amirite?), so when I came across this pic by DTiberius I absolutely had to color it. For those not in the know, Jennifer Hale is a very talented voice actress. Supposedly these are all characters that she’s voiced, although I’m pretty sure Erin Esurance was voiced by Mo Mellady, but what do I know. Either way, I definitely had a blast coloring this one.

COY 13 – Kallen/Chi-Chi

COY stands for Cross Over Yuri. The premise is pretty simple, I have a list I’ve compiled of over 500 cute girls from various anime and manga. I then use a random number generator to make pairing, which I then draw. Every third picture is a threesome.

With this, I am officially caught up on COY here. I’m working on #14, but it could be a while still before it’s up.

I kind of like this one, although in hindsight I wish I could’ve done something more dynamic with it. I’m getting close to being able to draw without photo references, but I’m not quite there yet. Unfortunately, that means a lot of what I do is based on what sort of reference pics I can find, and creativity is the victim. 🙁

COY 12 – Sakura/Miku/Haruhi

COY stands for Cross Over Yuri. The premise is pretty simple, I have a list I’ve compiled of over 500 cute girls from various anime and manga. I then use a random number generator to make pairing, which I then draw. Every third picture is a threesome.

This might be my favorite COY so far. Not only is the pairing great (I mean, really, what’re the odds of landing on those three out of a list of 500+?), but I’m actually pretty happy with the art, too. This was the first to be fully colored with my current technique, although I think it’s clear I was still working a few bugs out at the time. All the same, I love it, especially Miku’s cute little toes.

COY 11 – Rose/Su

COY stands for Cross Over Yuri. The premise is pretty simple, I have a list I’ve compiled of over 500 cute girls from various anime and manga. I then use a random number generator to make pairing, which I then draw. Every third picture is a threesome.

I love this pic. It’s pretty simple, but I had a lot of fun with the colors. I started using my current coloring technique right after this pic, but I did experiment with it some here.

Also, can I just say I think these two make an adorable little brown couple?
