Just a quickie this time. I promised several people that I would make Ako next on my Negima list (it helps that she’s one of the easiest of the ones left), and I’d actually started on her months ago, but never finished the lineart. So yes, I’m still chipping away at that Negima project. Feel free to request another character - if people want one, I’m much more likely to get around to them. To be honest, I think a lot of my motivation went out the window when Megami started running that series of awesome swimsuit posters with all the girls - in comparison, the eyecatches from the first OVA are kind of flat.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I recoloured her hair. For some reason in the eyecatch it’s steel grey, when it should be light purple. Wierd.
I’ve updated the status page too.

Not much to say here. This one took a reasonable amount of time, mainly in the linework. Reasonably pleased how she turned out. I chose her because several people had been asking for her for quite a while. Chances are I’ll work on Ako next, since she’s reasonably easy in comparison. Twelve left to go, I’m starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. On the SVG vs AI debate, I’m going to stick with AI for now, but probably start throwing both up.

Just a quickie, though I spread this out over two two-hour sessions so overall it took 5 days to actually get her done. Quality is a little rough around the edges, but the image itself wasn’t too flash to begin with. Besides, when I still have 13 of these left to do, I have to pick my battles, and the general impression that I’ve gotten is that she’s not a super-popular character so I doubt anyone is really going to mind. This is actually filling a request (you know who you are).
No idea who I will do next, before anyone asks. I’m probably going to save Chao for last since I think her eyecatch is the last one left that’s really good. I may push through a few more of the simpler images next. If anyone has suggestions feel free to post them and I might not ignore them.
It’s been a while since the last Negima trace I did. At the time I said I intended to do the rest, but was taking a break. Since then I’ve built a new PC and so I decided to take Illustrator for a spin on it to test it out. Remembered I had started the linework for Haruna months ago and never gotten very far, so I decided to finish her off.

I’m not promising that I’ll finish them, but I’ll definitely be trying to get some more done. I don’t really enjoy leaving things unfinished.
Yep, I’m finally tracing again. I’ve had a number of distractions since Kaede last year, a few personal things, a lot of games (I’m 17 hours into Twilight Princess…) and some technical issues, but I’m back. Here’s everyone’s favourite nerd, Satomi.

This puts me past halfway on this project.
