Drawing Post #10 - Ouran High School Host Club

Howdy!

I love drawing and I love anime just as much!

This particular anime is one of my favourites, as I am sure it is for many others. It is funny - it cheers me up when I feel down. A nice romance story, it also makes me cry in places.

I decided to draw some characters!


I drew the twins! Yay!

Why not? Haha. I loved these two as characters, individual and as a duo. I didn't draw any of the other characters, I might have to look into it. ^__^

Drawing Post #9 - Sword Art Online

Good Evening!

Another drawing post! A nice change from the weird deck posts I have been doing.

Again, it is an old drawing I did a few years back. I had a lot of time on my hands while my other half was out of the country.

I watched a lot of different anime, it passed the time, cheered me up. All that jazz.

I decided to take a look at Sword Art Online. This anime was very good, but I was disappointed by the ending. I enjoyed it enough to draw a character however.


I decided to draw Asuna as she was a very good character in the beginning. Slowly she became a bit rubbish in my opinion, but heyho!

I have yet to try the second series, I've heard mixed reviews on it so I am not sure, I didn't enjoy the first one enough to be hyped over it. Maybe I should give it a go though. You never know, I might enjoy it!

Did any of you like SAO? What do you think to the second series?

Cardfight! Vanguard - Bermuda Triangle

Good Afternoon!

I wanted to share another deck I like using. This is a game I love to play with a couple of people. Nice to socialize once in a while ^_^

So yes, on with the deck!

This one is a mermaid theme. If you hadn't noticed the others were Knights and Vampires/Demons ^__^

Grade 0

 
I like this one as a starter, free card bouncing! Yay!

 
I like having extra crits in this deck. Especially since I can put them back with another card effect.
 
Grade 1
 
They redesigned the perfect guards for this clan, I love both versions. They have new ones for a subclan - it is all Lolita clothing style. So cute.


I was so happy when this was released, it meant that it gave this deck a bit more aggressive power.
 


 
I love that this card is in my deck, when used with the Grade 2, it becomes a nice little attack which people prefer to guard. Your opponent does not want you to have card advantage.
 
Grade 2
 
Again, another card I was happy about because it makes this deck more aggressive.


 
This is the Grade 2 that goes with the Grade 1, the combo is very good for card advantage.
 
Grade 3


This card is fantastic for putting unwanted triggers from hand into the deck.

 
We all love a bit of a cross ride!

 
I am so happy this was released. It finally made this deck slightly more competitive.
 
Last but not least..

I even have a playmat to go with it!
 
I bought and built this deck because I thought it was cute and not many people use this particular build. Once they started releasing new sub-clans for it, it started fading into the background. I have fun with this deck, hence why it is still together and not pulled apart and in a folder.
 
I wonder what the Stride(Grade 4) for this clan will be.. Hmmm..

Final Fantasy Type-0

It is finally here!

It would have turned up yesterday but no-one was in the collect it so I had to grab it today. Which kinda sucks but YAY!

I took pictures of the items in the box. Here we go!




 
Instant excitement once the sleeve comes off! Aaahh!!!
 
Now for the innards of the box!
 





So much prettyness!
 

 
We also get a cute little manga!
 


Now time for the artbook! The art is stunning. I took a few images from random pages.




I am playing the intro at the moment and the music is absolutely beautiful. <3



 
 
 

Drawing Post #8 - The Last Remnant

Good Morning!

I thought I would take a break from posting my anime drawings and share something I am pretty proud of.

I was playing the game The Last Remnant. It was fun for a while, got really laggy and annoying. I kinda lost sight of what I was doing when I stopped playing for a while. I did however decide to try and draw one of the characters I thought was quite badass.


BEHOLD David Nasau! Hahaha I loved this character. I have just noticed you can see the image underneath dammit!

He isn't perfect, I'm not good at drawing eyes or mouths. But I love the detail I put on his outfit. Hehe ^_^

I did enjoy drawing this character. I am hoping to get better a bit and hopefully draw more like this handsome man!

Cardfight! Vanguard - Dark Irregulars

Greetings again!

I enjoyed writing about my Jewel Knights last time so I thought I would show you another deck I have.

This is one of my favourite decks. It took me forever to complete the deck due to some of the cards are in the older sets and never got reprinted. So, onward with the prettyness!

Grade 0

 
Let us start with the little handsome devil. My Starter. I find him highly useful. When I remember to use him haha!

 
This is my trigger lineup. I use a mix of the old cards and "new" cards. I am excited to see if they bring any new ones out in the upcoming sets!
 
Grade 1
 
 
The lovely Vlad! I prefer this Perfect Guard more than the other one this clan has. It is a mad rabbit I think? I do love the vampire though!

 
This lovely lady is a difficult one to get hold of. It took me forever to get the 4th card. She was only printed in one set of cards, and she hasn't been reprinted. I got the majority of them in a jank deck I bought from Australia. I am so happy, this card is pretty much the main target of "blow up" effects because she can get nasty. haha!

 
This beautiful creature is a great combo with the card above. He basically gives her power by using his effect. This little combo can get nasty. Hehe~

 
This card is not a favourite one of mine but she handles difficult cards on the opponents field that you know you need to get rid of asap. She is useful, but I would never have more than 2 in a deck. Her cost is too much.
 
 
Grade 2



 
This beautiful fellow is amazing as a vanguard and rear guard. People seem to forget that his effect goes off if I hit anything, it doesn't have to be a vanguard - and their is no cost. This card is great for building up the soul quickly and early.

 
This little man is the "Legion Mate" He is quite nice on rear-guard on his own once I have Legion.

 
Next up, pretty lady! She is a nice card once I have 10 cards in the soul. She is constantly a 12K, on attack and defence. Which is great for the new upcoming sets.

 
This dude I traded my other 2 for the "Legion Mate" I love using him and Blue Dust, I WILL soul charge that turn. Yeah, he has a cost, but he puts 3 cards into the soul - totally worth it.
 
 
Grade 3
 


This guy is the one that the Grade 2 "Legion Mate" goes with. Together they create a 20K attack, he gains more power if I have a certain amount in the soul and gives other units power if I have even more in the soul. Great pressure to get rid of guard in the opponents hand.
 



 
I like using this guy as my "finisher" simply because people can't use certain cards to guard if I have a certain amount in the soul. He is also great for getting cards in the soul. He has the same effect as the Grade 1 Jellyfish/slime card. Again, with Doreen on the field, this combo can get nasty.
 
I absolutely love this deck, it is a huge amount of fun to play.
 
There we have it! My build of Dark Irregulars. Also known as "My Boys" they are all pretty badass looking. I love the artwork on most of these cards.
 
Do any of you play Dark Irregular? If so, what is your build?

Cardfight Vanguard - Jewel Knights

Good Evening!

I play a Japanese TCG called Cardfight! Vanguard. I have had a lot of fun playing it. I like going to test my decks at National Tournaments and things. Gain experience and learn to play the decks better.

We had an event on Saturday. The new set had come out so everyone was using the new "stride" units. This is a new type of card that has been added to the game. I however, had none. This was fine, as I don't plan to buy any for a while.

I took a deck I used at Nationals last year.

Jewel Knights - Ashlei / Ashlei Reverse / Julia
This is my deck list, in images because they are beyond pretty.

Grade 0

This little pretty thing is my "starter" Very handy sat behind my Vanguard. ^^

This is my trigger line up. Quite annoying how one of my crit triggers isn't a "Jewel Knight"
 
 
Grade 1
This little happy chappy is to help my Grade 3 attack hit properly when I don't have too much damage.

A Nice ditch and draw. It helps gain defensive cards.

I love this little 10k beater

My lovely perfect guards and quintet wall! Amazing guarding skills.
 
Grade 2
This beauty is a 12k beater. Works well with Shellie on the field.

This one is great for the Grade 3 lineup that I have.

I love using this one for when I have 2 damage. Fill up the field without using my hand. ^^
 
Grade 3
I love starting with this one. She gives anything that goes on top + 10K power and an extra damage.

Ideally I need to run 4 of these with the ones above. I love how I got an SP of one of these. Super shiny rare!

Finally, Julia. This card is underrated. She fills the field after her attack, so you can get more attacks in. Fantastic. I used this card with the top Grade 3 card at Nationals and got to 5th round knocked out in 5th I tweaked it and put the reverse card in. Because why not.
 
I really enjoyed playing this deck on Saturday. The fact I was able to withstand the new power-ups to decks and still come 4th out of 16.
 
I have a lot of new plans for this deck. I cannot wait to try them out. Let me know what you think, and what decks you play! ^__^
 
I will be posting more decks that I enjoy and love to bits in the near future! Watch this space!
