Speed Drawing 1/2 Prince - Swallowtail Butterfly

Here's my first ever screencapture video of what I do when I draw, complete with program crash at the end. The final picture can be seen in all it's glory here:

As you can see, it looks really different than in the video. That's because about 4 hours into the drawing, GIMP crashed. Foolish me, the last time I had saved was right after placing the butterfly images in... *cry*

Hope you guys enjoy!

Songs are:
Japanese Music Box by George Winston
Swallowtail Butterfly by Ashin? (the chinese one, not japanese)

I've heard the second song like ten times on cti tv. It's pretty famous in China (hint hint)

[Salahare]

@Yume9181 Yes it is! In fact, if it were not for its popularity I doubt it would have been referenced in the manhua 1/2 Prince.

it's by Mayday not Ashin

[Salahare]

@honeyrinvocaloid Actually, Ashin is a member of Mayday and he wrote the song. :)

DAMN! How can someone have so much talent?! It moves me to tears.... T__T

I can't even draw with a pencil. And you can draw with a mouse! Damn it! Overflowing talent! HAHAHA! (lol yeah I'm overwhelmed sorry @_@) And If I hadn't known better, I could easily mistake your black and white drawing to actually be from the manga.

[Salahare]

@denkitekaizoku Ah, you are mistaken! I use a tablet to draw - a very old Wacom Graphire 4, in fact. I am not so talented as to be able to draw so well with a mouse. ^_^; Thank you for your praise.

Talent is 73% persistence and 2% gift. Then it's 20% cursing at yourself for not being good enough and 5% copying other people's work.

Ok, maybe not exactly that, but it's a rough estimate of my personal experience! Just keep drawing, and you'll eventually beat yourself into greatness. :D

[womoek]

@womoek and while i was watching, i was completely stunned and mesmerized! i kept saying, "what the helll?! NO WAY! what?! she, oh my god seriously! dude, that is ... i can't believe she can do all this!" etc. just breathless, it really was

[womoek]

oh my GOD!!!!! that's all i can say! welll, also that you are amzing! that's undeniable! i lvoe it! if only tat glitch didn't happen then we could've seen your finished work! aawww, but still, that doesn't change the fact that what you had until that point was incredible!! i can't imagine how long it took you and you even did a video of your work in the progress

I wish this series had an anime =/

It'd be awesome to watch their adventures via an anime. But then again, It has to be done by a good company that doesnt butcher what half prince stands for.

That means to include everything including the blood.
