sugar spice n everything nice

all this characters influenced my way of drawing.always.
Some of them are mine,there's so much to tell in this picture... since I was little, drawing was always a refugee for me, its like entering in a whole new world of fantasy, prety much like the film "who framed Roger Rabbit" when the detective went through to the tunnel, and entered in the cartoon world...

and since I was little i've always wanted to draw in the photos,pretty much like this..lol because i've always believe my OC's and my super heros I've always admired where always with me thank you photoshop...thank you wacom...thank you xD

everyone has a story, because they always influenced me, i'll start the description in order of appearance in my life:

Milady- ©Gakken - the green hair lady is Milady from D'artagnan, the very first anime that i barely remember, but my sister always told me that I loved this character and always trying to imitate her...so she definitely deserves a little homage

Lady Georgie ©Yumiko Igarashi I looooved Lady Georgie! I always asked my mom to rent this cartoons in the video store (wtv they call in english lol) i remember drawing her so many times,i still remember the music opening...

The Little Mermaid/©Disney Disney had a strong influence in my drawings, and Little Mermaid was my favourite in my childhood. I remember drawing Ariel for some friends in the kindergarden lol and for myself.still remember all the songs. God I miss Childhood... (I made Ariel here smiling because I'm pretty sure that I was drawing her in that picture hehe)

Chun-li/©CAPCOM Oh yes...Chun-li was like a fever to me.First Official Girl Crush ever.Was love in the first sight.I remember so well..me, in my tip toes, trying to watch the big arcade machine of Street Fighter which were surrounded by kids.Since I was little i managed somehow to get closer. and there she was.the only and the first female Character playable in fighting games ever.I remember the "ya!-ya!-ya!" the one-hundred kicks sound xD (so they called in that time, I can't remember in Japanese...lol) She was the main reason that took me to create Sanji in the first place. Capcom was always a influence to me, but I never had a single Street Fighter game in that time.First time I played with Chun-li was in Street Fighter III third Strike.. lol

Sailor Moon ©Naoko Takeuchi Oh my God. this was..for sure a big intro in the ANIME World.I was totally obsessed with Sailor Moon!i remember that i wanted to skip classes just to see Sailor Moon.My mom got mad at me in the school and punished me because my notebooks were always full of drawings of Sailor Moon LOL. My mom always had to buy new notebooks for me.And was the first time I started to make comic strips about Sailor moon, my own stories and stuff... I recorded every single episode in that time on the videotapes back then

Son Goku/Dragon Ball and Z ©Akira Toriyama Ok. Dragon ball was up after Sailor Moon.One day, when I left my video recorder recording all by itself ( went to school) it recorded Dragon Ball also.First time I saw Dragon ball.Was love in the first sight!I became even more obsessed than Sailor Moon.and I started to create a story in my own, inspired on Dragon Ball, so Sanji was born in this time and she was heavily inspired on Chun-li. never missed a single episode,this time I even skipped school just to see DBZ.My drawings had Toriyama Style for so long. really. I just found my own style not so long ago. it was s hard to me, to leave this style...but, if it wasn't for Dragon ball, I would never evolve my skills. Thank you Son Goku!!!!

Iori Yagami/King of Fighters ©SNK this was an awesome game. Actually, King of fighters 98 was awesome. having 3 on 3 matches was for me, the most original thing they ever made!even the graphics were really rad comparing to Street Fighter II in that time. I've always had Iori in my team. HE was such a hottie...so badass...so anti hero...I had a thing for Anti-heroes, in DBZ had a serious crush on Vegeta too LOL I remember drawing Iori too, so many times.His design was pretty damn original, and his looks...gaaah everything! but, sadly, SNK started to suck balls, after they released CAPCOM vs SNK 2. Even CAPCOM made SNK characters prettier than they ever had.(IMO) but Iori....is Iori.love him.

Wolverine/©MARVEL When you have someone in you family that works on a Magazine Publisher (don't know exactly the name lol) so consider yourself lucky. My Aunt always have brought so many comic books for me to read since Donald Duck, Turma da Monica, and...MARVEL. One of te comics that made me fall in love with Wolverine (and Psylocke ahem) was X-MEN Anual #2.why? Because Jim Lee drew all this number. I started to praticing linearts, inks, everything like Jim Lee.Sometimes I copied some of the characters poses for my OC's.so much to tell about the work of this man.and I always loved Wolverine, because as much I want to discover his origins on the all the comics I had,i never did.I only discovered his origins in 2002-2003 or so and thinking at first "yeah Right... " lol

Kenshin/©Rurouni Kenshin This Anime made me fall EVEN MORE in Love about Japan. And it was thanks to this Anime, that I learned Japan History, more than if I study in school LOL it was the Samurai fever. Sanji personality was changed several times, but this really built her character. Kenshin reminded me a bit of Goku, its known as a shounen, but a very well balanced, between shounen and shoujo. I've always complained about Dragon ball for having too much fights and lack of romantism and also found Sailor Moon irritating for being too much corny. lol and Rurouni Kenshin has a bit of everything. Which I like.Sadly they never finished this anime, and I'm not sure if I want to read the manga now lol. Seishuru Iko and Aoshi ARE HOT! ~~~

CardCaptor Sakura/©CLAMP another magical girl. Pretty much the same old Shoujo style, but this one is very different that what were we used to. This is Shoujo but with a story that makes sense lol and don't we loooove the eyes in CLAMP style...? soo beautiful! CCS is more than a shoujo. the story is great, and the artwork, is superb.I think I got strongly influenced by CLAMP about the way they draw hair.Chiii from Chobits...never saw the anime but I had a bunch of images of her. I jut adore her hair.and the simplicity of the artwork of CLAMP. and I got obsessed by Angels that time thanks to CLAMP. Yue from CCS was surely a beautiful angel indeed.

Sephiroth/FINAL FANTASY ©Square ENIX what can I say. I got really obsessed with Final Fantasy series.And got truly madly deply obsessed with Sephiroth.lol oh yeah...the stories I could tell.... and no its not like I'm a hyper fangirl who screams and have orgasms all the time whenever they hear the name Sephiroth. no. i think, no. lol but I have a serious problem. whenever i get obsessed with a character, all my boyfriends need to have something like the likeness or the character...I know, I'm very picky, so what? lol i won't go further about this.its better not to LOL but I also got a big crush on Squall...WHAT? would you look at him? he's gorgeous, the only emo i love lol!!! Tetsuya Nomura is an evil person...lol Got heavily influenced about the clothing.so detailed and pretty awesome...even though I hate Yuna, I love her outfit. not her.only the outfit. T_T and it was because of FF that I started to lose the toriyama style...

Mignon/LINEAGE II ©NCSoft LOL what, I got my artist name because of some mmorpg so what? lol first time I've tried L2, i was so overwhelmed about the graphics...nothing compared to WoW graphics yuck...lol and the dark elves.... they were sooo hot. my main character was ALWAYS a HOT DARK ELF. always with the same feature, hairdo...everything! when I wasnt playing I was drawing my main character and vice versa...lol

DEATH/Sandman series ©Neil Gaiman BEST.COMIC BOOK.EVER. its all I can say. my favourite! Neil Gaiman its beyond the epicness...baaah i really can describe the awesomeness. and DEATH... I love every single bit of her.I love everything about her. I LOVE DEATH. this comic made me realize that If I have to create a origianl story on my own, it really needs to be EPIC like this.SERIOUSLY.

my OC's

Centaur Girl ©Mignon at first, it was a random sketch, and turned out to be a beautiful artwork. one the best I made so far. It was inspired on the Centaurides from FANTASIA by ©Disney. I really care about this artwork.

Centaur and the girl ©Mignon the best artwork from EROTICA project so far. I loved it so much that I decided to make a Love story about this lovely Couple. Since we're now into girls falling in love with werewolves and vampires etc, i thought, why not? lol

SANJI SASAKI ©Mignon Sanji is definitely the "Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice" from all the Influences I've talked about. She's my alter-Ego, Since I created her, never stopped drawing her...many people know her...I hope to make her known even more. AND NO, I didnt take her name from Sanji of ONE PIECE. She was named Sanji before ONE piece was even created.
I purposedly made her whispering in my ear... that means so many things... xD


UPDATE: I've changed the filter, to make the cartoons merge into the picture
