Astharoshe Asran Pencil Drawing

Sorry about the lack of posts these past two weeks. I got sick again and I really didn’t feel like making any sort of blog post. I’m feeling a little better now, but not great. *sigh*

Anyway, a few weeks ago (Before I got sick) I finished coloring another drawing! This time it is of Astharoshe Asran from the anime Trinity Blood…

Although I was never fond of “horror” anime, or any other horror genre media for that matter, I make an excuse for a few movies and TV shows. One of these shows is Trinity Blood. I really like the story, the animation, and the characters. The art book images are absolutely beautiful and I always wanted to make/finish a costume of one of the characters from Trinity Blood. Despite my love of the Trinity Blood anime, I’m not that fond of the manga anymore and I really don’t like the novels (The novels are just too gory for my liking.) so I sometimes need to be specific about what version of Trinity Blood I like.

In the anime, Astharoshe Asran is my favorite character. When I watched Trinity Blood for the first time, I could relate to her in so many ways both in her personality and in what she had to learn. Making Astha’s court dress, which is what I drew her wearing in the picture, was always my dream cosplay and is something I hope to do either this year or next. (I’m currently looking at and gathering fabric)

I’m very pleased with how the drawing turned out. I drew it from memory and, since it’s been a few years since I watched Trinity Blood, I’m surprised by how much I remember of the research I did into her dress.

Well, that’s all I have to talk about for this drawing! I have other drawings I have yet to talk about but I’m not sure when I’ll get around to photographing them and post them. (Again, I’m still not feeling too great and I’d rather sleep than type) But they’re coming! Just slowly. XD
