Not really any overt sexiness in this one...ha.  Because EoS thought she could give me leading prompts, did she?  I'll show her.

Ah well.  And it ends where it ends because, well, I had to save face somehow.

(And I'm nearing a breakthrough on chapter 3 of The Fic That Would Not Die Cooperate, I can feel it! >:d)

WhooOOoOoO!  Wow, I really like posting, even when I have nothing to say or show!!!  Um.  Well, here is another doodle i sketched with minimal effort a while back just because i thought the idea wuz funny.  ^^  And NO, it doesnt ::crooks fingers:: "mean" anything, lolz.

Title: Headlock
Artist: Xpyne
Rating: um, PG13?  swearing in word bubbles
Warnings: an f bomb makes it not worksafe.
Characters:  Sanzo and Gojyo
Medium: sketched in 8H pencil, gone over in black pen.
Notes: If the anatomy or pose looks strange, it's because I fail I was too lazy to use refs of any kind. :(  I had this idea in my head that it would be really funny if Gojyo got one up on Sanzo and headlocked him.  Then, after doodling it, Soli posted a drabble where Gojyo does exactly that and I was like, "Gasp!  We really do share 1/2 a brain!!" and went ahead and penned it.  ahahahaha
Time Taken:  like, 15 or 20 minutes.  Not a serious attempt.  Just for kicks.
 

I received numerous prompts from eyesofshinigami, but have only been able to come up with one so far that I liked enough to post because I fail at life have been really cracking down on myself lately about sticking to my full-length projects.

(Oh, and EoS, I thought I could beg off the "Kanpai!" one, seeing as I didn't think I'd be able to top myself the first time around.)

I've actually got something started on all the other prompts at the moment, but I'm still fine tuning. D:

prompts:

1. Full circle (use it as you see fit)
2. Trembling with desire
3. Kanpai!
4. Over and under

 ::laughs:: Wow.  I wasn't really expecting Goku to do that, but then he did...  I really shouldn't give the boys free rein.  Though Hakkai is, by far, the worst about that.  He kindly goes along with all my machinations, then BAM!  Gojyo and I never know what's hit us. TAT

Title: Match Made in Heaven (( Part II ))

*****see Part I for disclaimer, etc.*****


・゜・。~Match Made in Heaven~。・゜・

Well, I think we've made enough friends here that I won't get rotten tomatoes thrown at me for posting technical p*dophilia. I wrote this quite a while back and posted it on ff.net under a different name. ::shifty eyes:: Some some of you guys may have already seen it, but I figured eh, what the hey? I might as well post it here, too.

Title: Match Made in Heaven
Authoress: Xpyne, with a little help from Solitaire ((cuz i can't write Tenpou  T_T)), and Soli beta'd for me, too, of course ♥
Disclaimer:  Saiyuki and all its spinoffs belong to Kazuya Minekura.  No monetary profit is gained from this work.
Rating: NC17, XxX
Warnings: highly consensual shouta, i.e. underage love, yaoi, man-god x boy-youkai, not worksafe.
Pairing: Konzen x Goku
Setting: Gaiden, no spoilers cuz I don't know any, just seen the anime episodes of their time in Heaven
Word Count:  6,680  ((too long for one lj post, soes it's in 2))
Notes: This is just a fun sex story, with plot in that the plot is hooking K & 9 up, lolz.  It's seriously written in that I'm not intending to squick anyone, and I think Konzen was in love with Goku even back in the day, but I don't believe in or condone RL pedophilia in any way, shape, or form.  Take it for what it is, and please enjoy! ♥

This was a scrapped doodleberry, but I found myself coming back to it and staring, mostly because of his face, so I decided to actually put a little time and effort into it and make it something presentable. :)  It was based on the idea that I wanted to draw a Goku that looked hot and yet was fully clothed in his cannon outfit.  I mean, Minekura makes a cape, bear-claw shoulder guards, funky belts, baggy top(s), waist high cut-off capris jeans and poufy shoes not only plausible, but look good on the boy! lol.  This is my attempt to do the same instead of drawing him naked, for a change, haha.  I also had the idea that i wanted flexibility and crazy angles, but that part didnt pan out as much. :o

Title: Leap
Artist: Xpyne
Rating: G  I'm shocked, too!  Where is the debauchery?
Warnings: none, i believe this is quite worksafe.
Character: Son Goku
Medium: sketched in 8H pencil, gone over in HB pencil.  Cleaned up A LOT is photoshop, cuz, as a nearly abandonned doodle, I left a lot of 8H scuzzily all over the paper.  Bad artist, bad!
Notes: I sketched this from scratch, with no refs Saiyuki or anatomical ((hence the reason I nearly abandonned it for its lack of pre-plotting)) so if his body is out of proportion, his belt going the wrong way or something... but i should seriously know his costume from the inside-out after making/wearing it for cosplay ::shifty eyes::  But I really liked his expression; it compelled me to finish this.
Time Taken:  oh, about 4 or 5 hours?  when i get into it, i lose all track of time.

It's time for Xpyne's long awaited Anime Expo 2007 Con Report!!! <--whut? Haha, well! Even if you haven't been waiting on the edge of your computer seat for this, i'm pretty excited to share it with y'all. :D Making last minute cosplay stuff created a high energy, stressful all-night prelude to the first day of the con (that we attended) which was Saturday. The con itself was held at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California. The venue was on the small side, which unfortunately necessitated the dealers' room, game room, video viewing rooms, and registration area to all be rather spread out from each other. There was lots of fun things to buy, and tons of great cosplayers to oogle. However, oddly enough, at least a third of the cosplayers I saw weren't dressed as anything anime. There was a Xena, Warrior Princess, the Mooninites from AquaTeen Hunger Force, a few Star Wars-esque ppl, comic book characters, and other really strange random costumes like this one guy who was dressed up as a ten foot tall can of Monster, the energy drink. (?) The majority of anime cosplayers hailed from Naruto or Bleach, and there was a surprisingly good showing of Avatar cosplayers. I saw a Mai, a few Aangs, a few Katara's, two Sokas, a Toph, two Appas, Momo, and an absolutely gorgeous Azula. <--Azula, hold my hand!!

There wasn't too much in the way of videos playing we were actually interested in seeing, so we mostly shopped, browsed, and posed for/took pictures. Soli bought a whole bunch of 39 doujinshi, haha, and I got a t-shirt, the next Vampire Hunter D novel I've been craving ((tho i cant start reading it until at least August, since it's a two-parter this time and i dont want to torture myslef by reading it now and not getting to know what happens until September when the next one comes out!!!)), a Pokey, the orange ghost from Pacman, plushie, and some other stuff. Soli and I have an official mascot now for the Dirty Old Ladies Club! Heehee we both fell in love with this Monkey King Voodoo Baby keychain and bought him. He is supposedly enchanted to boost his owner's creativity and ingenuity, so we'll see, haha. ♥  He has a little nyoi-bo, diadem and everything!   We cosplayed as me = Demon form Goku, Soli = Sanzo, little sis = Hakkai, littler bro = Gojyo, my friend = Dr. Ni, lil' sis' friend = Yaone.  We were in costume Sat. & Sun., except for our Ni who only dressed up on Sat.  We also went on Mon, all out of costume, which is when i got most of my actual shopping done, lol, cuz there weren't ppl stopping us every 5 minutes for pics. =D  Ooh, and we also got to meet kis4me2   , which was pretty cool!  We went to the Saiyuki gathering on Sat, too, but I dont think we knew anyone there.  We just posed for some photos, Sanzo almost beat a cute Lirin with her fan for trying to glomp her, haha, and then escaped inside out of the heat.  Did I mention it was a very hot weekend?  Beach weather, not dress-up-in-a-million-layers-cosplaying weather. lol

Hammer time!  Picture time!  I took tons of pix, but I made most of them pretty small, so hopefully this won't deter my fellow dial-up internet users from checking out the photos.  These are all worksafe, if not quite geeky. XD  I've tried to organize them a bit.  If you only wanna see a few, check out the "Group" pix.  They are the funniest, imo.

Well, more of a scene than a drabble.  This was originally written as part of an idea for an AU fic I was toying with, but I lost interest in that pretty quickly.  The idea's been done to death, I know (which is probably 80% of the reason I lost interest--the other 20% being sheer laziness :d).  I still kind of liked this scene, though.  ::re-reads it:: Man, does Sanzo have a mouth on him! lol

~*~*~

Well, I wouldn't post this kind of low quality fanart, but Soli seems to really like my half-assed doodles, so perhaps some of you guys will get enjoyment out of them, too.  I aim to please, right? =) so here is a picture of Nekkid!Goku I doodled, since I do kinda like how his face and nyoi bo turned out.  If you guys are interested, I have more silly little doodleberries lying about i could scan and post in between more serious endeavors.

Title: quickie Goku
Artist: Xpyne
Rating: um, PG13?  Non-sexual nudity
Warnings: booty shot back view of naked Goku, i think that makes it not worksafe.
Pairing: wellll..... ::smile::
Medium: sketched in 8H pencil, gone over in HB pencil.
Notes: The pose is from an old gesture drawing I did for my anatomy art class last semester, of which I was the model, so uh, it's kinda girlish?
Time Taken:  like, 10 or 15 minutes.  Not a serious attempt.  Just for fun. :)

I AM the monkey king! lmao, well, not quite. But I did finish my goku wig. The bottom half of his layers were really rushed, as I was finishing them the morning of Anime Expo, so I dont think they're as good as I could have made them had i another day or two, but it's the top spikes that garner attention anyway, and it got finished, unlike Hakuryuu :,< , so I cant really complain. I WILL be finishing jeep for Yaoi con, but seeing as how that's the end of October, I can breathe a little easier, lol. I'm very excited about Jeep. He will be sooooooooooooooooo great!!! I'm pumped!!! watch my enthusiam!! ::vibrates::

hahah, well, i still am gonna do a con report on Anime Expo 2007, but for now I'd like to show off my wig a bit. ^__^ So after I cropped off all the hair that was going under the felt cap (at which point i was all wibbling because of how ugle it looked half bald, haha), I glued some strategic points of the felt spike cap to the wig and handed it off to Soli to sew the entire border of the felt to the wig's interior netting. I don't like hand sewing much. Too mundane and repetetive for me. Soli's a real champ, though, so she does stuff like that for me. ♥  Anyway, once the felt was secured, it was all a matter of arranging sections of hair still attached to the wig above the part line I wanted over the spikes, and using sections of the hair i'd cut off to fill out the bulk.  About 75% of the hair covering the spikes had to be hand trimmed and hot glued at the base into custom sections.  It was tricky arranging it so none of the glue showed, but I am the Hot Glue Gun Master, so it worked out.  Geez, I think i've been using hot glue guns since I was eight years old.  Weren't the '90s great?  Parents were a lot less concerned with kids playing with burn hazards, i guess. XD 

Anyway, I never would have made it, had it not been for all the cruel beatings wonderful support of my taskmasters sisters.  Here's a complilation of some of the process, and of me wearing the wig with the honey contacts in!

Sorry this took so long to get up, but I was devoured by cosplay, my birthday, prop making, and Anime Expo! ♥ I'll prolly put up separate posts about each, lol. BUT for right now, since it has been waaaaay too long, considering I drew and finished all these within a day or two of each other, I give you what was actually the first drawn of the four pix, Jungle Queen Fever Sanzo! <--LOL

Character: Genjyo Sanzo
Medium: Original was 8H pencil on paper, then applied sumi-e style (just water and ink). Chinese Yellow Smoke Mountain Ink stick ground in a slate well, painted with a small, hard bristled bamboo brush: the Happy Dot brush. Then lined over in black rollerball pilot pen, and pelikan white highlights added last. yAy! (they're all cleaned up in photoshop, too. the title font is Cocaine Sans.)
Time Taken: apprx. 2+ hours
Notes: Sanzo is my favorite character to draw ((even though Goku and Gojyo are my fav characters personality-wise! ♥)) and I'm constanly asking myself, "How can I make him sexier?" as opposed to Goku, about whom I think, "How can I make him more debauched and lovin' it?!"   I swear, I practice art just to try and draw Sanzo... I like this picture, even if it doesn't totally look like Minekura's Sanzo. ,':/  P.S., his arm is cropped b/c i planned on cropping it from the beginning, soes I didnt actually draw it, hah.  Aaaaand, there will be one more final pic, the picture I actually envisioned from the start, of all four of them cropped and arranged together an' stuff.  Please look forward to it! ♥

for the story I would least want to read, out of all Saiyuki fanfictions in existence:

Choices -  The Gyumao revival project was stopped succesfully and now, Goku and Lirin are a couple. When Nataku sees what's happening down on Earth, he comes out of his coma to reclaim what was once his. [Nataku x Goku, Goku x Lirin]
Fiction Rated: M - English - Romance/Angst

Oh why god, why? TAT

So, I accidently set fire to part of my Goku costume today.  .  .

......  and no, it wasn't nearly as catastrophic as that sounds! hahaha  You see, I have this brilliant idea of how to make a spike wig.  first, I used floral pins to attach the wig to a styrafoam mannequin head.  then, I separated the hair into sections, include a "top to be spiked" section.  next, i sketched the relative shape and size spike i wanted in the air, repeatedly, over top of the head where I wanted it.  My little sister was like, "What the hell are you doing?"  I said, "Committing the shape and size of the spike I want to create into the muscle memory of my hand so I can draw it on the felt."  she was like, " Oh-kaaay...." lol  anyway, then i created spikes out of taped together cones of black felt that i pinned onto the styrofoam head and wig as well.  When i was done, it looked like this:

The next Urban Jungle pic is here! Sorry I took so long to put the next one up! But things have been really hectic with me. My weekend: Friday, I went down to San Diego for Solitaire's graduation ceremony on Saturday. She received her Bachelor's Degree from University of California, San Diego in Anthropology with an emphasis on Biological Anthropology. YAY!!! I'm so proud of her! ♥ And then my best friend called me that same Saturday to inform me she was abducting me invite me to go down to Mexico with her. We stayed at a beachside resort in Rosarito. We partied and rode ATVs and went shopping and stuff. It was a lot of fun!! And then on Monday I drove my little bro and his friends around to buy army fatigue t-shirts and bb ammo because on Tuesday we're having an airsoft battle. Oo;;;;; lol and tonight (monday) i also went and attended an Islamic mosque in Chino as part of an inter-religious learning and tolerance campaign my ((mostly Roman Catholic)) meditation group was participating in. The Muslims were very hospitible, generous, and kind to us. They served us a middle eastern dinner and then we attended a service, followed by a Q&A session. They emphasized many times how honored they were to have us attend their service and it was pretty cool. and i got to wear a beautiful head shawl loaned to me by one of my meditation group buddies. ((is it not very PC to say i felt like Princess Jasmine in it?? lol)) anyway, w00t! go religious tolerance and education! because world peace will not occur unless there is peace between world religions. uh, but on with the pr0n!

Notes: This is a rescan. I hate my mom's scanner ((because she lost the software to it so i cant put it directly on my computer and it's a huge pain in the ass the get quality file transfers that dont take a million hours from her computer to mine >:[ )) but i did re-do these because i didnt like that Hakkai's hand was warped in the other scan, since i particularly spend a lot of time doing hands. mmm i didn't really photoshop this to my liking yet, but it'll look better in the final spread.  i hope you guys enjoy! =D

ps, wooooo! Soli and I are going to Las Vegas on Sunday for my birthday!!!  She's promised me Chip 'n Dales, hehehe!  >:d

Alright! for gen50  , I'm posting Goku's Urban Jungle single up next! I hope you're feeling better! I showed a friend of mine, who is not familiar with Saiyuki, these pictures and the first thing he said was, "Dude, that guy looks like a monkey." LMAO ah, poor Goku, what is it about you that says, "chibi chimp" to the world? ((the second thing he said was of Sanzo: "And that dude looks like chick. That's how you like 'em, isnt is?!?" ...yes. yes, it is. >:D )) Well, without further ado, here's Seiten Taisa Son Goku, monkey king of the jungle. =D

Notes: It has come to my attention that my scanner warped sections of these pics. (like gojyo's antenna in the last one) i will fix that before posting the final spread of all 4 boys, but since these are kinda just uncropped preview shots, i'm not gonna worry too much about it. I'm also not going to mention what it warped beside the roach antenna, cuz if you can't tell, no need for me to point out my inadequacies, lol.

ps. Just thought I'd mention, my birthday is coming up! On June 25th. ♥ yay for me!

Okay, I applied my sekrit new technique to my sketches, and got interesting results!. ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;  Weeell, it's not exactly what I was envisioning, but i think i like it anyway.  I think if I do a larger picture, it will be more like what i want to go for.  getting all the details of a face into a square inch is a little difficult.  I'm going to combine all four of the pictures into a fifth layout, but until I'm done with all the computer editing, I will be posting the singles up. :) First up is Gojyo! ♥  He has kind of a fierce look in this picture, I think.  My last picture posted was somewhat ignored except by 2 of the lovelies on my flist--::runs and hides in the corner, crying:: but i will not be deterred!! ::good guy pose::  I'm pretty excited by how these Urban Jungle pix came out!  Please enjoy them!

Notes: This was a lot of fun to do.  I learned about Chinese painting and Sumi-e in a class I took last summer for fun.  this is my first time applying any of these methods to some thing other than a traditional styled painting.  It didn't turn out exactlylike I wanted, cuz when i painted over the 8H, my lines disappeared, which made it hard to ink accurately afterwards...<:3
