/It's gonna blur! It's gonna blur!! It's gonna blurRRR!!!/
This is my second /original/ personification ("gijinka") character
that I have posted any artwork on:
(HTM) Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD
digital bridge camera; here he is being a real uncooperating
piece of work when taking photographs under this sort of
low-light condition. I could clearly imagine the kid's
nervous squeal in my head when drawing this.
Visible on-screen settings are, from right to left, top to bottom:
manual mode, multi-spot metering mode, custom white balance,
10 megapixel resolution, normal JPEG quality, ISO 400 sensitivity,
1/15 sec shutter speed, f/3.5 aperture.
This guy used to be my family's camera; but as everyone else
eventually moved on to better cameras, he ended up being entrusted
to me. It used to be hopeless to take any usable photo
with this camera when the "Blur warning" icon appeared on the OSD
(i.e. calculated shutter speed is lower than 1/50 sec at
1x zoom level). Equipped with the owner's manual and techniques
from various digital photography handbooks; I eventually managed
to unlock his full potential with manual mode, and have taken
pictures that could outshine ones shot vis-a-vis by another amateur
wielding an actual DSLR.
In drawing this, I am not well-versed with wrinkles on the clothing
to be honest; had to redo it several times. The characters'
animesque looks are totally intentional on the other hand.
This is my first time using tilted perspective, which made
the scene look more dynamic; and I will openly admit that this is
the first time I have properly drawn nose pads on characters'
glasses too. (How embarrassing)
I will call this kid "Cameron Fujiyama" in case I need to refer
to him later; also beware that his look might be deceiving:
at 14 years old, he is actually very old for a digital camera.
