This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Re: Utena fanart!

What I like 'bout your sketches Emiemipoemi, is that you know where and how to draw each line. You just stroke and it looks right. (At least, that's what I've gathered out of the stuff you've posted.) I can do that, but only when it comes to animals and dragons. I sorta don't get along well with the anime style, so I end up working on a single sketch for hours (before I go coloring zomg). >:

Very gorgeous stuff, really. Color, please. etc-love

I know it's just a sketch but the way you drew Akio's face is god damn excellent.


Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Why thank you! I've actually been trying to get away from the anime style lately (if I draw anything else I tend to lean towards american comics style or cartoony stuff lately) but whenever I draw Utena I just seem to go right back to it. I always have to draw Utena in the Utena style or it just doesn't look right to me.

I'm gonna have to check out your gallery! Do you have one?

I know it's just a sketch but the way you drew Akio's face is god damn excellent.

Thanks! I'll have to draw a full blown Akio pic now that finals are over. I have so much free time now!

I've got two, actually. I'm trying to revive the one which people visited, but ironically, it's the other one that has all the art. I'm kind of hyped someone's interested in seeing my stuff. (:

Oh, and thanks for the compliments. I've been plannin' to color that Juri picture... I've even vector-traced it (guess where I learned to do that emot-dance ), but... My attention span is very short. I lose interest too easily. And I think I've just gained it back. I'm going to open my Photoshop now and hope for the best.

I may be pretty handy at designing, but when it comes to drawing, despite a couple of classes, I'm all thumbs.  I should bust out the old sketchbook and try something... anything!

Emiemipoemi: Fantastic!  The colored Utena with the swords one is just perfect.

FencingCaptain: Colored pencil never looked so good.

SKU fans are a talented bunch! emot-smile

lol I'm actually a very lazy colorer. My friend goes to art school and I'm always begging him to color my stuff for me cuz he's A MAZ ING. And it's cuz he'll color for like 9 hours where as I get fed up after like 2 1/2. So that's pertty much my advice, I guess. Sit there and color a LONG TIME. D:

Re: Utena fanart!

Emiemipoemi, you never fail to impress me. Even your sketches are amazing. You have a real feel for figures and faces.

Fencingcaptain, I love your color work. I like working in colored pencils a lot but I can't measure up to your coloring ability. The hair especially is really good.

It's all about practicing and the will. Good luck! If you really want to be able to draw, then there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to learn doing it. emot-smile

Re: Utena fanart!

I've been meaning to ask you guys-- would you all mind if I put some of this stuff up in fandom the next time I update? I won't do it without explicit permission, so please let me know.

Re: Utena fanart!

Your Anthy looks nice. I like the coloured version more, though :3

@ Yasha - you can put any of my SKU fanart on EM if you want, I would have probably sent them to you eventually anyway, but I'm a very lazy person... emot-gonk

Re: Utena fanart!

These aren't really fanart, just considerably bigger and a bit cleaner sketches of the sketches in Art of Utena. (my favourite book and the only one I have.) For those of you who dont know, which... Is probably all of you... I want to do allll these stupid little sketches in colour. Too bad I can't colour like they do in the show. x___X

I just got my tablet tonight so I did bigger cleaner sketches of them until I learn how to do decent lineart.

My favourite-est one of all. Did it in colour a long time ago, was crappy, but yeah. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15510849/ <-- old one

Colouring however is not methinks....

I much prefer drawing the old-fashioned way, with a pencil and paper. I like these, they're great fun.

I think I do as well, but I must learn for school/work. Its really grown on me already though. >_<  I also go through around thirty sheets of paper a night, and its very nice to use none. X___x *also hideously lazy, which probably makes up most of it*

I've also always wanted to draw buildings on the computer, and hopefully soon I can. emot-biggrin

Re: Utena fanart!

Those are all very nice and far less sketchy than the originals. I wanted to redraw one of these http://www.ohtori.nu/gallery/artof/Sketch17.jpg  sketches too but I couldn't really make it out 'cause the original is too sketchy. emot-mad

I actually did the one on the left in pencil already but my luck its hiding at school. (and my scanner is horrible, but I might just not know how to use it.) If its here I'll hoprfully find it soon, but I'm probably gonna re do it anyway for completion's sake.
I bet its hiding with my vector of one of the BG shots from the movie. emot-mad

Yeah, all the stuff I draw on my own is usually SUPER sketchy and I have to pretty much trace over it to get anything half decent so I'm used to looking at scketchy lines... (lives off drawing perspective emot-gonk )


I think I like Indian Anthy best myself... And deep down inside I'm kinda ashamed yet secretly proud of the cutesyness X__x


[edit]
left one in pencil... was already scanned emot-keke'
