[art] Satyrs, satyrs, everywhere!

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 02:56:19 GMT

Oh goodness look I haven't updated in a while. Have some satyrs.

So I am doing this one-session beta with the delectable skwinkilios, and since it's set in her world, I had to pick a race. I picked Satyrs naturally because they are a love I have had for a long time. This is the initial sketch/design I had for my character, Poallu. He has not changed much, really.

More Poallu, this time I forgot his horns on the bottom two sketches, silly me. I was at work when I did these.

Next image is possibly NSFW. Do not take a gander if there are small children/easily offended co-workers/parents/family around.

Poallu-butt. That is all I have to say, really.

KC chapters outlined: 31/???

[art] Original + Collab WIP

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 04:05:08 GMT

Two things to drop off~ One is original, the other is D&D related haha.

First is an image that will sadly, never see the light of day in this incarnation. I was re-coloring the Doyle mockup cover to the original specifications I had for it when my computer decided to corrupt the PSD file earlier. So, this is all I have left of it 8(

And last is the inked version of ladyshazzbaa's drawing of my character, Alter 8D We're doing a collab with our two necromancers in the same image (see here for my half, pencilled ) I really enjoyed inking this! I also timed myself for it and got to about 1 hr. 30-40 mins, after taking off the time I brb'd and chatted XD Inking it on that pukey green BG actually was super nice on my eyes. I will probably do it again.

KC chapters outlined: still 30/???

[art] original; art trade + KC [NSFW]

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 02:19:02 GMT

OK two things to drop off here tonighhhttttt. First is the sketch for...an art tradey thing between myself and skwinkilios. I got a head start on it since I really felt like drawing and I had a good composition in mind.

Secondly is a... cracky Kingdom Come art thing. It's Arania/Doyle and it is NSFW, so viewer discretion is advised. It's nothing too raunchy, but there is nudity. SO if it's not your thing-- LOOK AWAY PLEASE.

skwinkilios' characters, Falk (in the chair) and Mael (the nerdy one.) I've always favored Mael, and that hasn't changed all that much... except I've added my love for his brother Falk X3

NSFW IMAGE BELOW-- again, please don't look if nudity offends you. I'm actually pretty happy with how this one came out. This pairing may or may not become canon, but for now, I just felt like drawing it anyway.

And that's about it~

In other news, I'll be keeping an updatey number on how many chapters I've outlined for Kingdom Come at the bottom of every journal. I have no idea how long it'll be running, so you'll have to excuse the question mark secondary number 8D;;;

KC chapters outlined: 30/???

[art] Original: D&D

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 03:07:27 GMT

Some more sketches from last night. Pretty happy with these overall.

My ranger character, Llyr, looking sort of beat up? AND FINALLY in an incarnation I am a fan of.

Anddddd then some slightly angsty kissy doodle. Ophelia kissing her husband goodbye as he leaves to DO BATTLE.

Drawing people kissing is like the hardest thing to do ever wow.

[art] Trade: Jonan

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 06:28:47 GMT

DROPPING THIS OFF REAL FAST BEFORE I START DRAWING SOME MORE FFFFFFFF

THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN DONE LIKE A FEW MONTHS AGO BUT I AM A BUCKET OF FAIL SORRY GUYS (meaning ladyshazzbaa!) BUT LOOKIE IT'S DONE AND I CAN GUARANTEE THIS IS MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT I WOULD'VE GIVEN YOU LIKE WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE. ORZ;;;;

Shazz's character, Jonan, from our D&D campaign :"D He's in the process of blood casting and I DIDN'T ADD symbols since I...I didn't want to. Durp.

OK THAT'S IT BYE

NO REGRETS ON THE CAPSLOCK GUYS, NONE AT ALL.

[art] Original sketchies

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 06:55:07 GMT

JUST ONE THING TO POST TONIGHT sorry guys lol

At the top is a character design I was trying to get out of my head. It's actoratheart's character, Red Wyner. BUT I SORT OF FAILED. SOB. And then there are GASP chibis of Ries and Doyle being very much themselves down at the bottom there.

THAT'S ALL REALLY.

[art] Original doodles

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 04:57:29 GMT

AHHH I HAVE BEEN SO BAD I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN AGES sorry guys, I haven't been drawing much for some reason??? I shall ponder this but for now, HAVE SOME DOODLES.

FIRST, some RP-related art of a character I've had forever and recently revamped (oho I am punny, for he is a vampeyr.)

AND THEN of course, some Kingdom Come related arts. Have a Ries failing at washing dishes. He is using his light-bending magic trick here to look normal DO NOT FEAR he is still a zombie, really. Also, he is not very good at this doing chores thing. Especially not when around very many breakable items. This is probably like... 2.7 seconds before he drops a soapy dish and cracks it.

LASTLY, a Doyle, being his normal self. This is rather uninteresting but I worked out some design things with it. Note the mass amount of cheesy asian-influenced nonsense, oho.

THAT'S IT FOR TONIGHT

[art] Original: Doyle mockup cover

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 04:27:15 GMT

Finally finished with this! I kind of want to do a real real color version, but for now you get the overlay version :"3

First, the greyscale version (for an anthology my professor is putting together-- for those who know (Sugar Ninjas), this'll be in the "extra spicy" version since LOL not very kid friendly.

And the color overlay version. Mmmm, blood~

Working on linearting the Ries image next. Not entirely sure how I'll end up coloring that one, but we'll see what happens ^^

[art] Original: KC designs, tabletop designs

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 04:11:13 GMT

Some quick sketches of more of the Kingdom Come cast and a sketch of this character I'll be playing in the fall 8D

First, we have Erith Daesmaar, she is the one who resurrects Ries from the dead :"3

And her partner in crime, Arania Tsu. Arania is the same race as Doyle (not a ghoul, but rather the culture he came from initially.) It's a really warrior-based type of race, though it's calmed down considerably since Doyle's time. Women and men alike are warriors, though women don't proclaim themselves as such. Usually they handle the underhanded things, such as spying and assassination.

So then, we have the lineup of the cast so far. Really sketchy, sorry guys. I'll be cleaning this up when I get a chance (or just drawing a better version.) Feel free to make fun of Doyle's height! he's quite short compared to Ries. Then again, most everyone is XD

Some color ideas for that Doyle mockup. I'll be redoing these, since I'm kind of ehhh on the color scheme (I did this in Painter IX-- very strange program!)

AND BONUS, RIES WHEN HE WAS 12 AND CUTE. He is a bookworm.

THAT'S ALL FOR KINGDOM COME.

Have an Evan.

OK DONE <3 MORE ON THE WAY~

[art] Original: Kingdom Come

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 05:50:40 GMT

HAVE SOME DOYLE ART 8D Lol another mock cover, probably for chapter 2.

The sketch, which I did at work today haha.

And the inks, done in PS~

THAT IS ALL~ Ries will be inked soon. And they both will be colored ^^ ENJOY

[art] Original (Kingdom Come)

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 05:39:18 GMT

This project finally has a title. At least, a working title. I kind of grow more fond of it everyday though.

And along with a semi-permanent title, I decided to celebrate a draw a mockup cover of the first "volume" :")

Might flip it right side up. Maybe. I don't know yet XD I think I will be adding some coffin parts in there though. How many chances does an artist have to draw their main character in a coffin on the first cover?? 8DDD I'm definitely going to be finishing this up, no matter what. I'm tempted to make 8.5 x 11 prints of it for AWA so I can start pimping it out. Thoughts, anyone?

Some sketches of Doyle and Ries :"3 Enjoy~

First up, Ries in his full outfit ^^

And Doyle in his |D

Some zombification stuff for Ries. Still not sold on this, but it's getting closer.

Ries looking adorable, which is not difficult for him to do XD

Magic-related Ries-isms. He's looking rather badass (or close to it.)

Doyle being his kickass self, which happens about 90% of the time 8D;;; If you can't make out the note on the side, it's a comment about how Doyle's shoes are heeled since he doesn't like being so much shorter than Ries. (Ries is 6'5'', Doyle is about 5'7''~ish.)

Thattt's about all for these two. I'll probably have some more art of them soon, as well as pictures of the prints I made for Otakon :"3

[ART] Original + Gift art WIP

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 07:11:44 GMT

Doodles of a character that'll be in Ries' world. His name is Doyle and he's a grumpypants. He likes ridiculous puns though (all thanks to jenken!) Also, the inks for the filler I'm doing for skwinkilios' webcomic Final Arcanum

Lolol Doyle~

Andddd the adorableness that is Acacitli :"D

That's it for tonight X3 Tomorrow there'll be colors on the Acacitli piece and maybe some more work on James.

[ART] Original character: Ries

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 05:11:00 GMT

Some late night sketches I did yesterday of my newest OC, Ries :"3

More of Ries casting magics, because it's such a fun concept to me XD

And some outfit designing, along with accessories.

That's all~

[ART] Moony bookmark lines, USA, and original

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 08:32:11 GMT

Lineart for the Moony bookmark is all finished. Quite pleased with it :"3 Some 4th of July art for the dear America from hetalia andddddd a quickie sketch of Ries (as seen in some earlier eljay posts.)

First up, Moony!

Fanart of USA from Hetalia-- sketched sometime last week, cleaned up last night just in time to submit for 4th of July on the hetalia comm.

Lastly, a doodle of something I couldn't get out of my head for the past few days. Ries casting some form of magic (most likely lightning.) Did some story planning/plotting today and got a few developments out of it (thanks actoratheart for listening to me babble!)

That's all for tonight guys, expect more tomorrow~

[ART] Harry Potter: Prongs bookmark WIP I

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:48:03 GMT

Spent most of today working on this one off and on, pretty pleased with how it's coming along thus far~ I don't have much else to share today since this has been relatively time consuming ^^; But I might have some things to post a little later tonight.

James Potter, looking smirky and very Prongsy :"3

Haven't quittteeeee decided how to go about my shading on him, but I think textures will be involved in some manner.

[ART] Harry Potter + Gift art

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 06:29:36 GMT

WARNING, IMAGE HEAVY DUMP UNDER THE CUT. More art nouveau abounds. I can't stop drawing that shit, it's like crack-- all the happy swirls and decorations *u*

Kept drawing past my eljay update time last night and doodled out some sweet Remus. This is how I've always imagined him and thus, was rather disappointed when the Remus from the movie was vastly different (read: has a mustache, sob.) Anyway, Remus!

For some reason, he ended up with the smallest layout doodle for the bookmark. Sorry, Moony T_T

Some head designs/doodles of Snape and Sirius. They were tough!

Sirius' bookmark layout~ He looks quite lordly here, but I guess it fits XD

Annnnnddd last but not least, some filler gift art for skwinkilios for her comic, Final Arcanum. This is her main character, Acacitli, who is adorable.

That's all for tonight!

[ART] Fanart: HP and Hetalia

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 06:16:13 GMT

AHHH OMG I BLAME THE HP KICK ON jenken. And the hetalia kick never really left me. Honest.

Bookmark design for Otakon! I have a love for Alphonse Mucha, and decided that blending it with HP would be a good combination.

America, looking pretty serious here with his flag like a cape. WHY SO SRS, AMERICA?

Japan in all his cultural glory! I liked drawing his kimono/yukata/whathaveyou.

OK THAT'S ALL FOR TONIGHT.

[ART] Some warm ups + character designs

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:42:06 GMT

Bouncing back from that horrid horrid day. Still struggling with a few things, but it's much better than the wallowing pit of despair I was in before >>;

Anyway, some sketches and designs for a project I'm thinking of developing some more.

This is Ries. He is a zombie-person and will definitely be more zombie when I am through with designing XD

More Ries, some turn around action and his outfit (possible).

And just a quick sketch of USA from Hetalia. Might use this design on a postcard but I'm not completely sold yet.

Annnndddd that's all, folks.

[Life] Thursdays

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 02:02:45 GMT

Spent 8 hours at my job today working my butt off. It felt awesome. If there was constantly something to keep me occupied like there was today, I'd be so happy. And it looks like it's paying off. The managers like me well enough and were seemingly surprised that I liked to work and picked up things quickly? IDK, strange.

Oh well, ending the week with 36~ish hours under my belt on Saturday. Will have around that many next week, though hopefully more if I clock in some hours on Sunday. My feet will want to kill me by the end of it, but I'll have lots of money come fall if I keep working at this pace.

[Life] Ugh, Monday morning

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 13:50:03 GMT

Could you get any worse, Monday? DX I've only been awake for like an hour and already I've:

- Been woken up with a "Hi I slept in so you have to take your sister to school like right now"
- Had to put out a fire in terms of commission information (resolved, thankfully)
- Cracked the right headlight on the van because I hit the corner of the garage
- Had to clean up dog crap since someone forgot to put them out this morning (WTF)
- Nearly ran into a large truck that decided to turn while I was almost on top of him (asshole!)

I think this is karma telling me I shouldn't have slept without setting an alarm. Here is hoping the rest of the day goes without any trouble.

[ART] Coloring and some stuff

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 01:48:28 GMT

Been sort of unmotivated to actually draw much, but I've been coloring a whole bunch of stuff. Taking a coloring course this quarter, so it's been pretty awesome. :"D

Didn't draw these first two. The Spiderman page was colored for a midterm exam in class. We had 2 1/2 hours to finish coloring it. The Death Note pages are actually from the pilot chapter that had been in the back of DN How to Read. Some of the colors died when I uploaded to the web, so if they look strange, that's the reason XD

Annnndd have a recolored version of my tarot card. Love this version much more than the last, though I think i want to change how the card itself is laid out.

Also, have some lineart. I didn't draw the initial sketch, but I had a load of fun inking this for the lovely skwinkilios :"3 Done for the hell of it. May go in and color, since that's all I've wanted to do recently XD

[ART] ATC: Exodus Tarot- Strength

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 20:00:38 GMT

Finished! Pretty pleased by how this came out~ Done for an ATC swap that's coming up.
