Another Old One. Honestly I Don’t Like This One, But I Do Like The Colours Of It. I Really Feel Like

12 Days of Artmas

On the ninth day of artmas, a painter gave to me, nine roses blooming.

It’s 12 days of art to help improve my flow and style and capacity. One image every day

Karuta time!

Next set of Karuta Cards from Sinbad no Bouken. As always, this is an amateur translation. I’ll do them in sets by letters as they become available to me. This one took a while because I was having a lot of trouble with it… Today is the Y set.

Ya- Across the mountain, across the valley, long journey to Artemirya やま越え、谷越え、道のり遠い　アルテミヤラ。

Yu- Yunan manifests the disappearing mystery many travellers. .ユナン現れては消える謎多き旅人。

Yo- Welcome! Mysterious land Heliohapt. ようこそ！神秘の国エリオハプト゚へ。

Note: Karuta cards are graciously provided by Sinbad-ai

Karuta Time Update

Already people have been graciously helping to get all the sets, and I’ve gotten another set collected, which has been posted before this update. There’s still a few more sets to go though, and every little bit is appreciated. Small steps at a time though. Currently, I’m still missing the following cards (Listed in both the English set and the actual Kana):

A, I, U, E, O 　　　　　あ　い　う　え　お Ka, Ki, Ku, Ke, Ko　　  か　き　く　け　こ Sa, Su, So　　　　　   さ　す　そ

Any one who further wishes to provide the Karuta cards to me so I can go back and translate the original sets, please send me a message. I have been able to somewhat narrow down the chapters that one might look to for certain cards, so if you don’t want to search through a lot of them, then feel free to ask before you start looking (in case you don’t have them already on hand.) If for any reason your message is not going through, please send me an ask with your name and I’ll get back to you. I request good quality images and require both the front and the back of the card in its original Japanese. Also, please include a link to your blog so I can give you the credit you deserve for the cards you provided. Thanks again to everyone for their support.

I hope you’ve all enjoyed the Karuta Card Translations.

Karuta time!

Next set of Karuta Cards from Sinbad no Bouken. As always, this is an amateur translation. I’ll do them in sets by letters as they become available to me. This one took a while because I was having a lot of trouble with it... Today is the R set.

Ra- Roaring Thunder Lightning Sword, Masou* Baal! らいめい轟かす電光の剣、魔装バアル！ *The word here is masou (魔装), which translates as “devil’s instrument” or “demon’s tool” The exact translation is uncertain, so I left it as was, but it could mean Djinn or Metal Vessel? Edit: Mari M Rose states that Masou in this case is translated as Djinn Equip.

Ri- Ria Venice Island, the capital of one shot reverse gambling. リア・ヴェニス島一発逆転賭博の都

Ru- House sitting, entrust it to the chamber of stock**! るす守る、商会のことならお任せを！ ** A leap of words. “Koto” (こと) means things and “stock” is things of the store.

Re- Valefor ability is reiki of water stagnation. れいきの波動停滞の能力ブアレフオール。

Ro- Young and old, men and women, people are attracted to SInbad. ろう若男女人惹きつけるシンドバッド。

Note: Karuta cards are graciously provided by Sinbad-ai

Nightmare Gottschalk

An image from my sketchbook, I took the manga character and redrew it in a real life style. The work was my own, the image was received from Google (If you require a credit for the reference image, please let me know and I will add a credit for you. Please only claim the reference if it is actually yours.)

Do not use my art elsewhere. Do not repost. Do not claim as your own.

Karuta time!

It’s been a great run and it’s finally time to bring it to a close. I’ve enjoyed translating the Karuta sets and having the help of those who provided me with the cards. This set had actually already been translated, so I’m just going to copy the translations here. But a Karuta set wouldn’t be complete without all the letters. So to close off the Karuta Cards. Here is the Vowel set.I apologize in advance. I couldn’t get any copies of them without the arrows in it.

A- Sorry I defeated the Rampaging Unicorn. アバレイッカク倒しちやってごめんね。

I-　The People of Imuchakk. Gentle, giant warriors. イムチャック大きな身体の優しい戦士。

U-　Shut up! I'll kill you Sinbad!! うるせえなぶつ殺してやるシンドバッド！！

E-　Rurumu teaches the importance of smiles. えがおが大事ルルムの教え。

O-　I never thought the day would come when I'd be called an old man おじさんと言いおれる日が来るなんて・・・。

Note: This set of Karuta cards were provided and translated by Sense-Scans.

Colour Theory

I wanted to do some experimenting with colour theory, so I coloured the same picture in several different styles. Each style is listed on the actual art, and uses only the colours listed on the picture in question. The original picture used is from Jadedragonne and can be found here

Zeus!

A picture I coloured of Zeus. I don’t own the original line art. The original art is done by Elias-chatzoudis on Deviant art. It can be found here. The colouring and background are my own work. My major point with this image was the background. Though I quite liked doing the glows.

Today I learn that one of the only “Christmas songs” I actually like is not actually a Christmas song. That... explains a lot.

Only good thing about Christmas time is I get to hear carol of the bells all the time but the bad part is I have to act normal like that song doesn’t go hard as fuck
