音時雨 ～Regentropfen～

The most initial idea came from my love toward the super cute rainbow-goldfish: Kaokageuo. Since my previous drawing, I've been thinking for getting it real--I mean I saw a photo about the fish in store--why not making myself a real one as well?
It was a strong impulse, so I spent 40 minutes in dollar store in Friday afternoon, searching for useful stuff--even without knowing how it might be looking like.

While looking for proper materials, the basic looking was forming in my mind. The basic model, the body, I would prefer a foam ball shaped in oval, but I didn't see any there. A perfect ball might work as well, since I'm not chasing for perfect. Then, small beads would be for the decoration, and colored confetti would be scales. For tail and wings, the white ribbons would be the best choice. However, I still didn't know how to arrange every piece, especially the tail.

From 2D to 3D, it's such a big difference! In real world the materials are limited by the shape, color, etc., especially when the materials were all from a local dollar store. :P Yet the result wasn't bad, huh? It would be much better if the body is oval-shaped. xD

The actual wings/tail are much simpler than what I imagined though.

Looking from another aspect, which is more fantastic.

Anyway, I'm generally satisfied; the only regret might be I didn't get chance to use the star-shaped transparent colorful confetti! I'll find chance to use them in future, probably:3

Anna-neechan you finally got another PV, and GOD, THAT'S SO MOE PRETTY!!!! This PV makes me happy, really! The melody and tempo are excellent for creating a great mood. The vocal--as sekushi as usual--is bringing every tiny piece of sudden surprising into my heart. I could just loop this PV again and again, enjoying the music, and your smile. =w=
Shall I tell the world that I love your straight hair more than curl?--that's true that I prefer long, straight and black hair much, much more than any other types. Well, I still love yours even though that's not pure black. :3

However, I miss you singing in Spanish, Anna-neechan. °A°
o I switched to "jardin del aire" for a relaxing Thursday night. And I'll learn Spanish only for you.

--I don't think I made a new post only for the PV... but I forgot what else I have. My heart has been completely taken by the video. ￢_￢
Since I can't recall any more, I could just go reading Laylania booklet...

I've got my latest orders for a while: Onkalo + Laylania + Yorlga. (Both Posca and YesAsia works pretty quick this time),

@pixiv

Yorlga was purely for my collection (yet I did have a fight between this and Annabel's Astraia... well, next time for Annabel ^^;).
Onkalo, I know few people would buy and share it so I had to buy this on my own, I need to finally support Eiko-sensei and this will be the very beginning.
Then for Laylania, I mentioned I got this one solely for its booklet, and I still want to restate it here again,
--THE GOLDFISH IS SO AWESOME!!!

Hmmm, not really a goldfish I guess, but don't you think "KaokageUo" is hard to pronounce? Plus I'm really not sure how to translate this species name, in which Kao means Face, and Kage means Shadow literally... orz
So just let me call you Rainbow-Goldfish, okay? xDD
(It was so true that I got to stare at the goldfish on its official webpage. Such an attractive mascot. @@)

Thank for the fish, I spent a whole night to make an inspired art from it--my dear rainbow-goldfish~

Actually, I never knew I ended up with a drawing. I at first just wanted to make a hand-drawn rainbow-goldfish for my avatar. After I did the outline quickly, I wanted to get a girl beside it--why not a boy like what's in the booklet? You should know that, how come such a cute fish being so close to a boy? I mean, A GUY?? Akiko, Are You Shotacon??? °A°
Therefore, the girl, a random character, was created. I purely just want the brilliant fish be with my girl all the way~ =w=
Since I was not using my own characters, nothing specific, just let my pencil go. So I got her quickly with a casual smooth long hair; I did try short hair, but I couldn't deny my strong affection for long hair, seriously... =_= For hair coloring, lemon yellow would be the best, since the entire album is more close to an European-styled fairland. Thus, I chose carnation pink for the dress. It never became so nightdress-like until I decided to insert a stuffed star--to make it more dream like! Then it left out the only other harmonic color for the star, which was peach-orange. The rainbow-goldfish, I made it semi-transparent, which was more harmonic and fantastic. The only regret was that I didn't go through more details for the fish like the CD jacket, that would destroy the balance or I could just say I'm lazy.
I did take long time with the background. I wanted the it to be dark purple mixed with indigo at first, to give a mysterious ambience, but I changed my mind after a trying with brighter colors. Much brighter, and much more pretty. Since I got a star for the girl already, why not adding more stars in the background, like what most cute drawings have. Then my habit, to fill the background with a real photo--starry night would be a good candidate--I believe I can do the magic to turn reality to fantasy so Ima magic girl mwahaha. To make it looking more adorable, I add the rainbow gradient at the end. Finally, handwritten title wrapped the work up.
Not bad! huh? ;P
Yet I did feel like this girl looks like Ana from Ichigo Mashimaro... and if possible, what should I use for her name? Since I'm having a crush on her now, I might get her showing up again in future works--she needs a name!

Before I come up with a good name, I might just read the booklet in detail--haven't got time to do it yet! XD
