So I went and had a look to see when my last non-fandom related art-post actually was. Not counting the Novemberdoodles, it... was a long time ago, oh wow.
Then again, I haven't really drawn anything non-fandom related in what feels like aaages, simply because I live for the short high the crack in those doodles provide me. But I digress.

The other day, I found one of my sketchbooks again, and it was empty, so I decided to fill it. Preferably with not so many fandom doodles, just to see if I actually CAN still draw something not related to fandom crack.
Basically, I just sat down, watched 'criminal intent' or any other spin-off available, and doodled. Mostly just drew from pictures I found on my HD to get warm again. There are a lot of super random pictures on my HD, btw, I boggled.

Because if you're about to meet your death falling from the sky, might as well enjoy it.
Actually, this was an underwater picture, first. A bit less morbid. Maybe.

A guy without eyes. His life is full of misery.
No, seriously, I don't like this one and consider it a failure on several points.

Two pictures I had from the Foxglove Fashions site. The one with the cup is not supposed to look that tense...

A picture of a jumping lady wearing a nice dress that I found on DA once.
She reminds me a little of

aeromachia's Lux, so maybe that's her.

Another underwater picture, by Zena Holloway. I'm rather fond of this one.

Okay, this one was freehand ~~does it show~~.
Concept of one of the two main characters of my next comic, should there ever be such a thing.
She's not a dancer, but I wanted her to do something else than just stand around.
I bet she couldn't even dance properly, actually.

...

Um, so I lied a bit, there is something fandom related after all. I watched some bloke play through FFXIII on Youtube some weeks ago and enjoyed it immensely.

I added the face in the end, when her being faceless was just too creepy.
I shouldn't have.
Anyway, I liked Lightning! And her uniform was all kinds of cool. Except for that cape, that was kind of useless.

OR WAS IT?

I promised Rae I'd draw this out. So I did.
Okay, they should both be involved in the act but that didn't work out. Light'll just have to cover up for Hope. I'm sure she'll be happy to do so.

Yeah, I kind of didn't like Snow.

At all.

ALSO? This last picture is NOT fandom related, whatever you might think of it, it is not what you think it is because why would I draw such things?

Nope. You are seeing things.

This war referenced from another picture I have on my HD, actually, it's a nice painting, a bit 50ies pin-up stile. I have no clue who the artist is, though, because the filename says 'sexswingers' and I am so not googling that.

Aaaand that's it. Congrats for making it this far =3

OMG I was just looking through all "yay Miru art" and then suddenly... that *is* Lux, her haughty expression and silly-yet-quite-elegant pose is amazingly accurate :3 MAYBE YOU ARE PSYCHIC.

(also I reallyreally like that last one, and the freehand one too :3)

Ooooh so it's not just me seeing things! It's official, then, that is Lux, how she found her way into my brain will forever be a mystery~
No wait, what am I saying, of course I am psychic there is no other possible way. =3

(also thanks! <3 )

MAN I LOVE YOUR ART SO MUCH YOU CAN NOT EVEN

agreeing with the above, the last and the freehand one are beautiful what are you talking about. I see no fandom referencing here.

DO YOU WANT A POSTCARD FROM PARIS BY THE WAY??? This might actually happen.

WE'RE GONNA DO THIS
WE'RE GONNA MAKE THIS HAPPEN BRO

YOU SAY THE NICEST THINGS ;3;

I'm actually pretty happy that the freehand one has such success, as well, despite being way simpler and less thought through.
Also it is a good thing we are on the same page here because where would that fandom referencing ever be I don't know.

OH WOW I'D LOVE A POSTCARD FROM PARIS OMG YOU ARE GOING TO PARIS!!!!

MAKE IT HAPPEN BRO MAKE IT HAPPEN!

NO YOU DO, YOU ARE SUPER SWEET

I don't know, I've always been a fan of freehand and figure drawing. I think it looks really artistic and pretty for some reason. And man I don't even know why we are talking about fandom, because this is clearly a fandom free post?? you so crazy

I JUST REMEMBER OUR TRAVEL JOURNALS SAYING "YOU SHOULD HAVE SENT ALL YOUR POSTCARDS BY THIS TIME" AND THAT WAS AFTER WE GO TO PARIS SO I WAS LIKE "I NEED TO GET MIRU A POSTCARD"

OKAY I'LL MAKE A SCREENED COMMENTS POST SOMETIME BEFORE I LEAVE AND THIS WILL HAPPEN!!!! ~~hopefully~~

BUT YOU'RE THE ONE BEING EXTRA SWEET RIGHT NOW!

It's the flowy lines going everywheeeere. I don't know when I picked that up, but I can apparently not do anything without drawing flowy lines anymore.
And I know, I'm sorry, I don't know why I began with this whole fandom stuff, anyway. I so crazy.

YOU HAVE A TRAVELJOURNAL THAT TELLS YOU WHEN YOU SHOULD HAVE SENT YOUR POSTCARDS? WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE? I always send those suckers out on the last day. Heck, last time, I sent the last postcard from the airport, AFTER checking-in. That's just sad, man.

OH I HOPE YOU DO AND THAT IT WILL HAPPEN OH THE EXCITEMENT! ~~but I'll still love you, even if you don't okay okay.~~

THANK YOU! BUT CLEARLY IT IS YOU BEING THE SWEETEST!

It's okay, there are drawing techniques invented PURELY for drawing flowy lines. They are beautiful and... flowy.

YEAH IT TELLS US EVERYTHING WE DO ON A CERTAIN DAY AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO WRITE IN THEM!! So I guess I'll probably be scanning in and posting my traveljournal. I don't even know when we're going to have time to send postcards, oh man. I'LL WRITE YOU ONE IN FRENCH and you can giggle at how much of my French I've forgotten and I'll sound like I'm from Québec. welp
~~will you still love me as much as before?~~

So much pretty ladies :D I envy the elegance in your art.

I dunno if you got the recent email about it, but you should draw the art for this too :D That is def. not fandom-related! (lol I should draw too)

Oh my goodness, I totally forgot about that. Like, it had completely evaporated from my mind. I AM MORTIFIED!!!! I will get to it ASAP, because I like it when I actually keep the promises I make.
So embarrassing, I don't even

So I just checked hotmail (which I rarely do anymore because I am a horrible person or something) and did not find any mail from you there. Even the spam folder is only filled with african princesses eager to share their wealth with me. Where did you send it to?

It's OK! Really! But, oh man, maybe your email wasn't in my Tarot list. o__o Shit. Sorry about that. But at least I had this way to contact you, too. XD (And I wasn't gonna boot you out for any reason anyway. The email was mainly addressing slow/inactive/dead-comic people!)

Oh, on that note, what IS your email? One you use often, that is. Unless you don't use email a lot...XD Then just anything!

hm, I guess the one I use most would be miru_at_tyo@yahoo.com /o/

You're art is so pretty ;A; Seriously, I really really like it x3
And I like the boy without eyes 8DDD Seriously <3
Oh and the dancing girl 8D I somehow imagine her dress to be a very intense red. Sooo pretty <3

And uhh, I love Lightnings clothes 8D They are seriously pretty, but I always wondered about the cape, too <3

AND I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT THE LAST PIC, I KNOW WHAT I SEE, I LIKE WHAT I SEE AND I LOVE YOU FOR IT.
Full stop.

aw, thank you so much! I'm always a bit paranoid that if I ever sway from fandom-stuff, my art suddenly becomes dull or something ;A;
The boy has so many issues, though, and not just being eyeless. He's all wonky looking.
And that dress is red from now on, I agree =3

That cape! It wasn't even a proper cape, just a strip of cloth or whatever. I can imagine it being more of a hindrance than anything. It made no sense. I'm glad to see that I am not the only one questioning these (clearly important) things. 8D

ALSO I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT LAST PIC IS IN NO WAY RELATED TO ANYTHING YOU COULD KNOW ABOUT.

You don't have to worry, your art is still amazing when it's not fandom stuff <33
I don't caaaaaare, I like him anywaaaaays 8DD
Yay \o/

Yeah it was just... there xxDD But capes in general are very... impractical, at least in battles. Yeah. <___< IF YOU SAY SO! BUT I KNOW WHAT I SEE AND I FIND IT DAMN SEXY. JUST SO YOU KNOW.

well I'll admit I appreciated the dab of colour it brought to the whole outfit but yeah, that was totally unnecessary. But then, Lightning is badass and can tote a cape around if she wants to ~~she can also totally wash her hands while still wearing her gloves and no bitch can say anything. Yeah.~~
WELL FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH IT WAS EXTREMELY FUN TO DRAW. AND THEN SOME. I KINDA WISHED I DIDN'T SCREW UP THE PERSPECTIVE SO BADLY, BECAUSE THEN I COULD HAVE FINISHED IT, TOO. OH WELL, ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER BATTLE!

Ahhhhh so many pretties! I love the outfits you draw, they're so cool! Especially the girl with the cup and the lace-up bodice back, and the one you used in the preview!

also that last picture ehehehehe

I loooove drawing pretty clothes! Now I just need to learn how to make decent folds, and I'm good ahah.
The dress of the girl with the cup is all kinds of awesome (http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e208/LeMiru/Elizabethan_Ensemble_Train_by_FoxGloveFashions.jpg). I wish I could have figured out how to draw the pattern as well, without it looking too busy. Oh well, next time!

I don't know what you're talking about, there is clearly nothing to see on that last picture *snerk*

I don't feel able to give any coherent comment (zzZZZzsosleepy), so I'm just going to say PRRRRRETTY! Well, I'm mostly in love with your women here, and the drapes of their dresses. Especially that underwater pic, wow!*_*

...and now I'm left wondering why Switzerland would want to wear a dress and WAIT HAS HE GOT BOOBS HERE and ups, this wasn't fandom-related and I got it all wrong? My bad. *g*
~~Rrrawwwwr ~♥~~

Coherent comments are for the weak! or... something, idk, I thought it was pretty coherent, actually =D
That underwater picture was my favorite, too! It made me dig out my 'how to draw folds' book again, so let's see how that goes =3 But yeah, pretty clothes are the best! ♥

... because Austria has a slight cross-dressing kink in my head canon (it's very embarrassing to him, actually) and no he doesn't have boobs that's just Roddy's vest but wait what are we talking about this has nothing to do with this picture, anyway.
8D

... because Austria has a slight cross-dressing kink in my head canon (it's very embarrassing to him, actually)

I'm glad to see we think the same |3
~~And if Vash wasn't stripped to nakedness by now, I'd so involve a dress into our RP. Just so you know. Oh well, there's always next time 8D~~

I-I don't know what you are ta--- oh what the hell yeah, I'm glad we're on the same page here ¬///¬ I-I feel a little less alone with my weird headcanon. What would I ever do without you <3
~~There really needs to be a next time, then. Like burning. Because. Yes. Ahem.~~

I actually like the sketchy flow of the dancer picture a lot; it feels like there's energy in the pose. But the ~~goddamn folds~~ details in the other pictures! You draw different forms of flowing clothing really well, and make it actually possible to tell differences in fabric type with them. :o

so yeah your non-fandom is not uninteresting

still, austria, you whore

Thank you! I like that one a lot, too, which is why it's the only concept sketch I included. And I'm going to be honest, I have NO clue what I was doing with ANY of these folds. Mostly just referenced them from the pictures, and that badly (you should see the glorious golds in the original underwater picture, they make me weep). Also that bit with the fabrics is one huge compliment, you don't even know. I've been trying to make cloth look different for probably forever, so knowing that I'm on the right path, maybe, is a huge boost.

MAN YOUR COMMENTS ARE THE BEST! /o/

But then, that's not really brand new information, is it

ahahahah yes! You shall get what you deserve Snow!!! : D

All pictures with dresses or swords is awesome too! Way to get some practicing in my dear : D

He shall! I also noticed while looking for his outfit that he kind of looks like a hobo. A lot. No wonder Light didn't want him to marry her sister. >=/

Aw thank you, m'lady, your words are too kind <3 <3 <3

Oooh, prettypretty. ♥ Except for that last picture of course, because it doesn't exist, so it can't be pretty.

Do you happen to remember what the FFXIII play-through guy was called? Because I'm curious about that game, but I don't have a PS3 and don't want to get one just for this game...

aw, thank you so much <3 and last picture, what last picture. =3

The LPer I followed is called GameOnTurtle (http://www.youtube.com/user/GameOnTurtle#p/p), and while he's not really the best or most amusing LPer, he is quite entertaining at moments. He didn't do all the mini-quests that were available, and was seriously underleveled most of the time/could have played better because he kept dodging fights to bring on the story, but it was all good fun, and I liked how he didn't cut out his failures and Game Overs.
The biggest problem was, actually, that a crucial part of the final scene got deleted in his LP thanks to copyright, but I found that easily on some other part of Youtube, so yeah.
As far as I know, there's at least one german LPer on youtube that is through with the game, as well, but I can't remember his name, sorry.

TL;DR: I watched a guy named GameOnTurtle.

Thank you! =) I'll look into it!

... but man, being under-levelled would ruin an RPG experience for me. Isn't the beauty of RPGs that you can get experience in doing one thing (elegantly slay a scary behemoth) by doing something else (levelgrind by killing bugs and slime); unlike real life in which you can only learn to slay a behemoth by slaying a behemoth, but there's a shortage of behemoths anyway, so. I'm saying, the coolest thing is advancing into new RPG terrain and still be able to kick ass of anything that runs into you. Like a boss.

Okay so this guy wanted to spare us all watching him powerlevel. Details, details. I'm gonna babble at you anyway. |D

Glad to be of service!

What a beautifully crafted comment, expressing all my sentiments towards RPGs! Preach it, sista! The joy of playing a game is to be able to mow down everything, especially that terrible beast that has been terrorizing the plains for centuries!
Except maybe Malboros.

No, this guy just had VERY bad planning. FF13 has a bit of a similar system to FF10 with the Sphärobrett, but his guy constantly neglected to level the abilities, and only did so every time a boss defeated him (which happened every time). I think the first time he really leveled up his weapons was right before the final boss. After a while, my levelgrinding soul just wanted to hunt him down and shake some sense into him.

*had this open allll day long and kept staring at it*

<33333

Oh noes, I did not mean to steal your time!! 8D

<3333333

Oh no, it was time WELL SPENT. <3 I love your drawings and I'm happy you share them! ~~Now draw more!~~

It kinda makes me consider drawing again too. X3;;;;

awwwww...lovely pics!! (and omo I´m so late .-.)

I like the guy without eyes o.o

you're nooooot <3 And thanks! <3

The guy is full of probleeeeeems in the anatomy department, though.
