A long overdue request for Eowyn of TriforceMUCK, it's Eowyn. o_o The original is twice this size, so I lost a lot of detail on the shrink, but she deserved something special for being so incredibly patient with slow artist-me. Heh. Hope you like!

The second of six images done for a project in Digital Art, based on various nightmares I've had in the past. Truth be told, this one wasn't as terrifying as it was poignant.

Maybe I'll upload the one with the giant ladybug later.

"I know I've got a face in me / Points out all my mistakes to me / You've got a face on the inside too and / Your paranoia's probably worse / I don't know what set me off first but I know what I can't stand / Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is / I can't add up to what you can

But everybody has a face that they hold inside / A face that awakes when they close their eyes..'

-- Linkin Park, "Papercut"

More art therapy. Yes, that's all I've been uploading.. but I haven't been doing serious CG jobs as of late.

I can just see her bearing down on the riders in her wing - eccentric and.. weird.. as she is, she can be authoritarian. A sketch done to Starfox MP3s. Smudgy cel-style coloring over a sketch run through the Watercolor filter. I like this coloring style..

This is:

1. Regression to an old style.
2. Art therapy.
3. Practice drawing rocks.

I daresay I feel much better.

Old stuff from 2001. I don't have much time for serious CG jobs anymore.. Yael from the in-progress Aer MUX, delivering a mercy strike to something in the snow with her glaive. Tried some stuff with lighting - overhead, sort of? Mraa. Background stock photo from PhotoDeluxe. Title seems too dramatic for the image, but.. oh well. I didn't really name this one.

Another frontpage image for Pokemorph.com - TR Pichu May playing DDR. Lyrics and step chart are Dam Dariram. It was her player's birthday this Sunday, so it's a sort-of present, I guess. ^_^; I used colored outlines onthis one, and changed some things with my shading style - a little yellow reflected on the white of her tank top, a little gray in the shading of her fur. Says my art teacher: "Now, if only you could do this in real media." I don't know if fan characters from an anime-derived fan-universe count as Anime Fan Art, so it's just Furry. >_>; Many thanks to Illucian for saving these into JPG format.

More A-tae. Look! Tiny pet bloo dragon.

I like the lighting effect, though it could be better in some places and the wall/window looks rather flat. I have a cropped version of this as well, but I posted this one. Dunno why.

I hereby dub this Old Upload Day. Ataea and her dragon doing a double-glare. Now that I look at this one again, the colors could be much more intense and the room darker. An old, defunct character off a MUSH similar to McCaffrey's Pern series in some ways.

Sketch of Kitty KT's Pokemon fan character, Kitty KT. And her Pikachu, Flash. ^_^ I was originally going to use this image for my art trade with her, but something screwed up during the coloring process and I just couldn't get it to look right. Back to the drawing board. >_>

Old, old, old. My first watercolor ever, of a somewhat-Bayleef morph. The paint job is really lacking (I don't want to classify it as a finished image! c.c), but I liked her character design and stance. From one or two years ago, maybe. I think I'll draw her more often, but I need a name for her! @.x Done on regular computer paper - it wrinkled. See?

Revival of a very old character, probably one of my first.. with a slightly different name and revamped appearance. A friend of mine got 3DSMax and wants to do an animation sequence at some point in the future with this character and one of his, so I drew this up for reference. I rather like her design, and tried something different with the color scheme this time. Seem to be getting better at metal.

She's a fire mage, and was supposed to be holding a flame in her free hand. The colors clashed so I left it out.

Re-uploaded with a copyright message, courtesy of Ty. Once again: for Pokemorph MUSH. New frontpage image, based on a TP currently ongoing.. Tyne's compression factor gave it a slightly softer look. I like. Seems more.. surreal.

A detail from the art trade I'm doing with Kitty KT - Kitty, I haven't forgotten! The hair kind of surprised me here; a couple of people have told me it looks almost real. o.o I hope I can keep this style up.

"Hey. Murray, is Tom forgetting his lines? He looks flustered out there. Yeah, I can tell from up here. Yeah. Yeah, okay. I gotcha. Stand by for cue five.."

I felt like drawing headphones on the plane back from Japan, so I did. Possibly a new character; her working name is Janet Dolores something or other, I think. But hey look, a background! Couldn't resist shading this in; it's going to become a fully CGed image later on, if I get around to it..
Additional Credits: Character modeled after Jody, stage manager for Lex-Ham's production of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Vegetable.'

Neo's gonna be down until the 21st at least; I'm going into RP withdrawl. Shade is not a happy bunny. But there's a lot of happy bunnies in this picture! Or.. eevee, at least. >.> They are NOT miscellanous '-eon species - rather, they're vee-morphs. Kinda think Teresa Wagner's dragon-morph Lugia picture before the file wipe? Left to right, top to bottom: Keika, Cally, Dana, Shade (me!,) Keshiji, Kanpaku and Atra. Fuzziness. o.o Tried some lighting, but it didn't quite seem to work.
