Okita Art

http://1happyturtle.com/makoto/Okitaabstract.jpg (no scanner -_-)
the drawing is inspired by a Shinsengumi doll I received for Christmas
and while the face is so sweet like how Okita is often portrayed in
modern fiction I looked closely and saw that the figure has Kondo's crest!
I was looking down on the doll as I was drawing and so there is an
abstract feel to the work and I liked the details of the hair, which really
was that long on the doll (^_^).

Played around with the cell phone:

I have some ideas on filming the doll but I'm trying to figure out a few
things...

P.S. the site's new wordpress design is functioning:
http://www.shinsengumihq.com
(Thanks, Alohaworld.com)

gradual restoration of the site progress report can be followed here:
http://shinsengumihq.livejournal.com/

what I do is make a list of all the things I need to finish and upload
several pages at once so please bear with me---my day schedule is
really hectic and I design arts/crafts projects for an elementary school at
night so I've been busy (-_-) and I'm doing this using a free html editor
(not Dreamweaver) while testing it on wordpress so it's been fun...

fanart and links to vids you created can still be sent here:
secretarytocapt3(at)hotmail.com
when you work is online I'll inform you ASAP

Yes it looks like a moustache but it's his lips---just stylized---the
doll's lips look like this:

In 1868 one Aizu girl recalled that her sister desired to go forth and
fight the enemy so she prepared herself and in the process drew her
lips with down-turned corners perhaps to adopt a more fierce/grim
"look" as well.
