Ladies and gentlemen, behold Jing's first digital work (OH MS PAINT) ever:
December 26, 2002. And then,
January 25, 2003. In case people can't read. I suppose date isn't really relevant past those two, but I'll try my hardest to keep things chronological. (It's like 3AM right now, leave me alone.)
July 17, 2004. First time I ever went to Ohio, between freshman and sophomore year. I stayed with my dad for two weeks and had literally nothing better to do all day except soaking everything in Half Price Books into the marrow of my bones. I was up to CoT (book 10 of the WoT) back then...for the first time. And, for whatever reason, I decided to slap an Aiel (EXACT IDENTITY SPOILER-CENSORED) and Ayami Kojima together. I believe the notes are actually my plotting out how I'd have it as an oekaki. >_>; Of course it did happen, and of course it kind of phail'd, and of course I'm not about to show you that just now. Dig through fujou at thy own risk.
March 18, 2005. "Ganelon." One of those unfinished pieces on Goddess that is now lost in oblivion. Other than the ridiculously unfitting head, I think the anatomy is still something to be proud of from back then. Another thing I was very pleased with was the water effect. Too bad I haven't gone back to it much, if at all.
June 28, 2005. "Durga." Haah, back when I still believed in mousing my lines. Castlevania AoS monster influence...though to be technically correct, I had the color scheme of Kali (mistranslated as "Curly" in the game) in mind. Jing's first rather voluptuous figure, except for the ridiculously thin waist that also happens to be off. I think one thing in common with all the shittles I'm poasting here is that I'm HEAVILY inclined to go back to every single one of these and make them RIGHT, or COMPLETE. >=/ Except I never do.
January 23, 2006. "Stalk." Jing gets Open Canvas from teh rora. 8D I remember being extremely amazed by its "pressure sensitivity" available for mouse, and this was exclusively playing around with that.
December 2, 2006. "Water." ...And then I became incredibly guilty-feeling for a while for having something other than Oekaki and yet never using it to make something more serious. =/ I suppose this was my favorite out of all those other half-assed attempts. Very nice...texture. The one thing I perhaps miss about OpenCanvas. Then again, I'm sure at least one of Artweaver's brushes can achieve similar effects, and I'm suffering from the same symptom of never getting around to seriously play with it. @_@
Speaking of water, I missed one. D: ANACHRONISM LE GASP September 3, 2005. I've made several attempts to recreate this nice atmosphere through the years, but something is always off and eventually given up. Perhaps it's the hand-drawn Paint BBS white 1-pixel water color texture...or perhaps it's the pond. Simple, but apparently impossible to reproduce. XD I still remember that day: Jing scraping her little toe against the wall against all odds, and rora asking her out to windowshop at that exact moment or so. Trying on skirts on 86th Street. Dropping by my mother's store and catching her very, very surprised. At me, at a friend, at my bloody toe.
...Moving on.
May 20, 2007. "Mu." (And originally with Shaka in mind on the right...except the resemblance is so terrible his name didn't end up making it into the title at all. *tear?*) I remember when I was madly obsessed with crazy face angles at one point. The pointing-down period didn't last all that long...but here's my reminder. 8D Also my single Saint Seiya fanart...and a pairing, no less??!! OMFG what. Where's my Soma x Genya? T_T
January 28, 2008. "Rip." (As in, Rip Van Winkle. As in, HELLSING.) I have a very vague impression that I may have shown this to Jarek during one of our very earliest days back then. (2008? Le GASP!) In fact, I think I scanned it at all because Jarek said he wanted to see what I doodled. Hmm. In any case, special because it's perhaps the first Hellsing-related thing drawn since freshman year. That is, the OTHER freshman year...the special one. At Stuy.
Four years into the future...
March 9, 2008. Title as indicated. I just noticed the dates I've been using in this post are dates shown on the computer...meaning the day I scanned, or the day I last modified. Which can mean a lot of them are off and age a mystery unless it's a signed sketch. Hoo... -_-; Anyway. Boredom during tutoring of that Korean girl. There's been more, but she usually whisks away the originals...I think including this one. Scanned and thus saved because I actually liked it and had bothered with references. This I should definitely do more often. Also BOOBIES
April 13, 2008. And MOAR HIPS AND BOOBIES 8D INDEED Like, Oh, my gwad!~ *heart heart heartle much?
(In actuality, I believe this was the first thing I actually drew with my tablet. By which I mean it's not a bunch of squiggly lines and my name written over and over in various pressures and all that goodness. YES I KNOW THERE ARE STILL SQUIGGLY LINES IN THERE BUT UH THEY ARE QUITE THE ARTFUL DON'T YOU AGREE? I LOVE YOU LAVENDER CURVES)
...The end.

I remember the one with the mask you colored on ~ fujou ~. xD
And I really like the last one. A lot. <3
And what the heck. Why is UK Lycos so slow? Is it because I'm in Americana. D:
I never really noticed fujou being slow... O_o
whoa~ this is quite interesting
i...lost all my old oekakis when my hard drive broke somehow =\
I was fond of that devil girl one...=(
*AHEM* anyway enough of my sob story, wow~ those early ones are quite the interesting to see =D
haha my first mspaint drawings were...much much worse =P [but I was in third grade or so]
I remember many of these =)
and I really like that lady-with-wolves one O_o
Am amused by the HW assignment-ness coming off Alucard's tongue? =P
I feel like I've seen that Durga one before, but before I played AoS so now it clicks, "Ooohhh thats what that was!"
also, sexy lavendar curves you've got thar ;)
dA is actually my backup of sorts. XD I remember recovering at least a few images that way myself, sad as it sounds. >_>
Have to say that the last one's probably my favorite of this bunch, too. =]
YOU GOT A TABLET? SINCE WHEN?
And pfft. My earlier stuff was wayyyy more embarrassing than yours. At least you never went through a serious anime-gothic-emo-mysoulissodark-cliche phase. Your choice of subject matter always had "class", I guess is the word?, even back when we were little. You make mama so proud; Jingypoo is all grown up. And when you did anime, it was fanart; so you had an excuse to draw it that way. ;__; I, on the other hand, am an failure to society.
"serious anime-gothic-emo-mysoulissodark-cliche phase"
Haha...I totally went through that phase as well =_=;
AND abandoned my realistic style to draw like...that.
*shoots self in the face with a shovel* ?
At least it's done with.
Wait. You could draw realistically AND you abandoned it?
I figured anime was always an excuse for bad artists to make art.
EITHER WAY HIGH FIVVVVVVVE BRO.
Had a tablet since last April or so as a super-early birthday gift from Jarek. Lawl...
Tina: You has always been awesome, even back in the day. D: If nothing else, your PRODUCTIVITY is to be envied at the very least...=_= I've done like nothing with my tablet except like little scribbles and the few things you see on dA since the naga guy with croissant horns.
Re: "serious anime-gothic-emo-mysoulissodark-cliche phase"
Part of growth, part of growth, guys. =] Though I guess Jing just somehow skipped it...haha...
Little red riding hood looks like an old man.
Intended. Thus the "Little" in quotes.
