マスコットキャラクター2

Hi Danny,

I was wondering how you went about colouring your mascot?

Thanks,
Rii

Rii,
Are you talking about the color scheme or coloring? If its the coloring then I'll ask Yuko sensei as she done the artwork.

She's looks great Danny I'm also trying to draw my anime type characters but I've never been good at drawing still trying hard.
By the way did you use a graphics tablet to colour her? Because I find it very hard shading and highlighting the characters with a mouse very hard.

Hi Danny,

Yes I meant the colouring "process".  On another note, now that you have a mascot can I go about making Danny Choo wallpaper?

Definitely a moe's character :) 

Danny-san, you could make figurines out of it ^^

Hmmm, tough poll question. Bunny outfit ala Haruhi-sama or maid outfit ala Mikuru-sama. Decisions, decisions. Did you ever settle on a name for her? She's looking great by the way.

Is it to early to start demanding an anime by Kyoto Animation?

reply to Leo's comment

Wow, she looks good!  Yuko-san is doing a great job.  I'm sure Yuko-san will make your mascot look good in any of the poll choices!  It's a shame you didn't have "all of the above" in the poll.

Good ideas, wallpaper and figure kit would be nice...

It's looking great, Danny!  I personally have a thing for maids, especially w/ nekomimi. ^^;

reply to Tom's comment

Danny, i think the mascot is coming out great. The bunny poll is catching up to the maid. Oh yeah, have you seen the premier of Getsumen To Heiki Mina??

reply to Gerbera04g's comment

The orange white, and blue color choices really blend nicely with the rest of the site. Her over all look is pretty simple without being to gaudy. Hopefully as her design evolves, she'll turn into a  real cyber pop idol. ;)

And like I said before, when you think you've pinpointed her design, I want to do some fan art of her if you don't mind. ^^

reply to Neato Neko's comment

I have a question danny! *raises hand*. For the Pencil lines during CG process, how did you refine the Line Art?
- Adjust the levels and then refine?
- Using the Pen tool to recreate the lines?
:D

Btw, Its a really great, the CG is nice.

reply to Alafista OTAKU's comment

I now envy you Danny.  I don't care if it is a sin, I envy you!  Please tell me where you learn how to draw that amazingly well?  I'm looking for a mascot for my small and feeble website and I need your help.  Onegai?

Help a poor amateur artist achieve his dream. ToT

Her neck is a bit thin. But she looks beautiful anyway.

Just curious, but any plans to hook up with a anime production company to make a anime series for your chracter? The idea behind it is too good to be watsed...

reply to Salsashark's comment

i like the progress of your mascot and she's cute in a sailor high school uniform.

the orange color scheme really suits the character ^^

i can't wait to see her in a maid costume :3

reply to Henry's comment

wow danny, i love the coloring and shades you used. She looks very good. The skin color is great as well as her hair is very detailed. Keep up the good work, I would love to see her in storm trooper armor and Gundam, hahahahha

Wow Danny, that's turning out to look very good!

(ID #43137) Posted on 2007/01/18 03:30

reply to V1lt R's comment

Very nice!

It's still amusing to see that people want to have drawing lessons from you Danny, even if they should ask Azami-san about that.
I wonder what you would draw though ;)

I feel that the colors of her sailor fuku have been intentionally chosen to represent the ones used on the site (like Neato Neko noticed). lol.

I'll stay around to see the day by day changes!

See you around!

reply to D_Blade's comment

Great Danny, i can see the mascot character is turning out to be a very cute one thanks to azami san's drawing
style.

i can't wait to see her in the stormtrooper armor and in her bikini.

reply to presagiador's comment

Weird, her looks says "beautiful day," but i rarely get those... oh well. I agree with Andrew, cuz since you already got your d icon on her dress, a pendant or hairclip might work better. But it's your mascot, and she's turning out great nevertheless. I am really more into seeing her in the Stormtrooper outfit than her bikini. Bring it on! ^^

(ID #43143) Posted on 2007/01/18 05:00

reply to djet0's comment

Very nice progress! ^^ I would love to see the storm trooper outfit, as long as its sexy/cute! Making her wear generic and default styles would degrade her uniqueness... so make it wacky/different as possible.

(ID #43144) Posted on 2007/01/18 05:31

reply to Arrot's comment

LOL, no "otakurlers" in her hair?... or better yet, "otakurly" hair?... hahaha, looking good... can't wait for the next update! :)

reply to xjaymanx's comment

djet0, Andrew,
At first we thought of different things like a broach but that turned out too small. The square used to look more of a diamond but that looked odd too. For now I will keep the logo but tweak the "d".

D_Blade,
Yep - I thought I made it clear that it is Yuko sensei that does the artwork...

Momaru, Alafista OTAKU, Windbell,
ETA December 2007

Maelstromm,
Not right now ^^

Demacrez,
Art work is done by Yuko sensei - I cant draw to save my life.

Marcus Tyr,
Not too keen on cats myself...

SG, iheartassassinmaids, CrazyAnimeTuga,
I will do an interview post and Yuko sensei will tell you all about it.

Neato Neko,
Sure thing ^^

Gerbera04g,
Not yet - officially on air from the 20th.

Edward,
Wallpaper tool ready to roll out soon ^^;;;

Leo,
Not yet but soon.

iheartassassinmaids,
Re wallpaper, go for it ^^

reply to Danny Choo's comment

Nice progress!
The colour scheme is really nice - fits in with the website pretty well.
As for costume suggestions, A trooper, maid, gundam gal, bikini (for the idol posts) and perhaps some kind of cute low cut maiko thing for the japan sections?

(ID #43151) Posted on 2007/01/18 08:28

reply to AndyH's comment

oooh...very nice...but she's somehow not...cute enough though...it's sth with the eyes...or the face....maybe work on the eyes a lil bit more?
waiting to see tha final piece

(ID #43152) Posted on 2007/01/18 08:37

reply to Linc_31's comment

i mean...the eyes on the face...the eyes that u see with...not that pair of eyes.

after a second glance, the eyes seem a bit hollow and lifeless to me...

(ID #43153) Posted on 2007/01/18 08:41

reply to Linc_31's comment

Nice work danny... where did you draw that? did you use graphic tablet?

(ID #43154) Posted on 2007/01/18 08:45

reply to samejima's comment

I think it looks like good progress.  What I notice first off is the length of her torso vs her legs as the latter seem to be unflattering compared to the former? Strangely, only the color version hits me this way.  This is art though so no need to be nit-picky I suppose.  I think it's taking off well though.

Hi there Danny...

Just wonder, won't the characater has a oversized busts?

It look out of proportion slightly to me... anyway. =)

Hey Danny, 

excellent progress, thank you for the update.  Do you think it might be possible to get some bigger "eyes"?

I have to ask. >_

hey Danny-san, orange matches her very well^^...Cant wait to see her in other costumes too, especially the stormtrooper and the gundam girl version :D

Keep it up man!!

nice mascot danny, i never knew you could draw so well. BTW is it possible you could get an automatic sign in feature for the profiles?

reply to OMNI Strike's comment

reply to seth.frostheart's comment

Wow its coming on really nicely, im loving the sailor outfit xD

But i cant wait to see all the others, and i definately think a maid one would please all ^_^

And maybe she should have a version with her hair let down...well thats just an idea?

(ID #43174) Posted on 2007/01/18 18:58

reply to Arekusu's comment

The more I look at her, the more she reminds me of Kage Kara Mamoru's Yuna. Heh. But she looks good. Can't wait to see the storm troop version.

Awesomeness!
Can't wait to see the figure! 

On a totally unrelated note, I think that linking the comment section at the top of each post's page would be greatly appreciated by everyone.
Or at least, by the lazy ones ^^

All,
Thanks for the feedback as always.

Tristan,
You can click on permalink - its the same.

Tsubaki,
Never seen that anime but should check it out.

seth.frostheart,
I dont know!

OMNI Strike,
Whats an auto sign feature?

Negative, JFKo, 
I think her eyes right now are perfect ^^;
  
Yar,
Was thinking about it.

AndyH,
For the Japan section I have her as a Miko。

reply to Danny Choo's comment

Maybe I wasn't clear, sorry.

Let's say for instance that I'm enjoying the C71 coverage so much that I just can't miss any new comment on it. I'm going to check in a couple of times during the day.
But hey! Holy crap... The first part of the coverage has more than a hundred photos in it... Scrolling down the page with the wheel of my mouse is going to be exhausting.
If only we could jump from the top of the page to the comment section with a single click... ^^

Like a hyperlink to the comment section or something...

(ID #43193) Posted on 2007/01/19 03:03

reply to Tristan's comment

Well I like! Cant wait to see the storm trooper and Gundam Girl version! What Gundam will you use for her? I say go with the ol' tride and true RX-78-2 ^_^

Anyway, if I were to change one thing about her, I would make her hair more red...but hey I just have a sweet spot in my heart for red heads :P
