Silver Morning

Howdy all.

I know Ive been gone for a while. School has ended, thank God, and I’m drawing as uch as I can. Of course, the universe torutures me. My computer has 1.74 GB left and with all the art I’ve done…well lets say if I uploaded any from my sketch books, my computer would die. So I’ve been taking pictures of my art XD

I have an idea to put my art on a flash drive which is what I’ll probably end up doing. Heck, thats gotta be on huge flash. But since I’ve been rather bored these past few days, I decided to do another over CG screenshot.

Eris (from Sinbad) makes things so much easier when it comes to Neria. She (Eris) is so diabolice that I just adore her for it. Exactly how Neria is *squee* The floaty hair and smokey..ish…thing she has going on there totally has me wanting to draw my damaged character. OH THE FUN I HAVE. 8D

So, because Eris makes awesome poses, I played around with my Photoshop and did what I did last time. I CG’d ver Eris and created Neria. Again. HAHA. Now I dont claim anything (like rights or copyrights and wthatnot) for the pose, picture or the screenshot. The only thing that is mine is my character and the coloring. :l

All clear? Good good.

Here you go. Thank my bordem and Eris. Welcome Neria once again. =)

Neria__letsplay

Enjoy all.

Hopefully I will be able to finish art and post more. Excuse my mistakes. I hardly use my Photoshop anymore because of my limited space : >b Ideas are popping all over the place! haha.

Until next time readers and followers!

Later <3

Who’s gonna drive you home, tonight (WIP edition part II)

Though, as always, I’ll provide descriptions so you know which art goes to which.

Now theres are ALL WIPS. Finished products will mostly likely be updated on the weekend. However all MSN doodles are final, haha. I wont be coloring those. Most of them were done on a whim or during a chat.Uke is of course an inside joke so beware. (insert smile here)

So continuing from the last post…

Drawing #7: I titled this “Flowers”. Isn’t that snazzy and innovative? A quickie. Maybe done in a minute. Two tops. This is what I like about the write tab on MSN; you can do quick doodles with a click of a button. ….mouse…..tablet pen…or whatever object you use to draw.

Drawing #8: In short, I love to draw couple pictures. I ADORE them. ADORE ADORE ADORE. ….so now you understand that I like couple pictures, right? I’m just making sure. I did this in about two minutes on MSN. Why, I don’t know. I’m so random I wouldn’t put it past me to just randomly do this while conversating.

Drawing #9: This is a running (marathon running actually) inside joke between me and an extremely great friend of mine. Isn’t that right “Luke”. Hahaha.

Drawing #10: This is my persona, Rayebear. I draw her a lot. More than I should really. Rayebear is a nick name that another great friend of mine gave me. Ever since then it’s been nicely attached to my personality. Oh MSN…

Drawing #11: Again, an inside joke. I often draw the thoughts in my head during chats. The receiver of said chat got a laugh out of this. If you’re reading this, do you remember this? I couldn’t help but laugh myself. See uke I’M GANGSTER! (lmao, yes I know…)

Drawing #12: Rayebear in a bunny suit. Again done with my inside joke buddy. Her legs are probably a mile in length at best. Yes yes, I’m an exaggerator. Shin receives a lot of my doodles during our chats. For some reason she never gets sick of them. But MSN is a bitch and sometimes never sends them. One reason why I hate it aside that it always disconnects me. Can you tell that I like the color purple?

Drawing #13: I had sketched this out one night when I saw a realism picture my friend had done when I went on campus to see our other friends. I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could produce the same. This was my end result. I stopped working on it for now. Hopefully, I can finish this soon.

Drawing #14: Just a close up of the previous picture.

Drawing #15: This is Hana. She’s a character of a friend of mine who held a contest. I drew her for said contest. It was a quickly, I have to admit. I enjoyed coloring her the most. The inking was the fastest I had ever done. It took all of five to ten minutes to do and the coloring was even faster. This is one of the drawings that I enjoy to glimpse at because of how great it came out. Well in my opinion. I’m a doting artist &heart;

Well thats all for now people. I hope to finish even more art next time. Until then, take care!

Total eclipse of the heart (WIP edition)

Okay so I lied. I do have some things to post. I couldn’t resist. Plus I had these in my files so why the heck not?

So here we go

Drawing #1 (Bookmark: Elisa) — I had done a bunch of book marks for my own pleasure of the cast of Sin Divine. This was the first one I had drawn, inked and colored. This one features Elisa in her bumble bee costume. It was based on my own little running of an inside joke. Thats her name on the side. I’m actually quite proud of it. I stare at it daily since it sits right in front of me. Haha :)

Drawing #2: This doodle I had done in my sketch book but colored in Open Canvas 3. I colored it quickly for a reference that my friend could have as I had commissioned her (I swear I will give you the money! D: dont send your mafia after me please). I have another few sketches of Aiden and Elisa cosplaying in the French attire. How suitable since Elisa is half French (thanks to her father). Aiden, in my perspective, came out horrible. I hope to have this properly colored and redraw Aiden. He needs it.

Drawing #3: Ah Ichigo. Before you think of it, yes, I did get his name from Bleach. But before you all start babbling off with your wild imaginations of whatever you’re thinking, I only took the name for one reason. The name, according to the manga, meant protector. Yes, I know strawberries, blah blah. Considering Ichigo’s role in the story, I thought it fit him well. His role is very important. As we go on in the story, you’ ll see why. Though I do have to say, he is one of the characters that I have to point and laugh at. Oh his naive-ness.

Drawing #4: Irenee (who is currently being renamed) is Elisa’s best friend. She is of Indian (from India in case you’re scratching your head) descent. This was only a quick two minute sketch. Maybe less. Ah MSN is a good place to do these kind of doodles.

Drawing #5: My current project out of the bunch. I decided to ignore my muse and give you all a sneak preview. Here is featured my deliciously evil villain. Iblis is quite a character; one that I actually enjoy writing every time he pops in to my mind. Two words for him: Sneaky Bastard. That girl right there, oh yes, that’s Neria (see below). I cant say how they’re connections. But let me tell you, it’s a doozie.
I did want to make Iblis sinister, devious and good looking. As far as good looking, I think I need to make some changes. What do you think? Input would be very much appreciated!

Drawing #6: I had found this drawing in a stack of unfinished Sin Divine sketches. I remember doing this and it was the easiest sketch I had ever done. Everything flowed right out of my pencil. Damn, if only every drawing was like this. Pure bliss. Avamareah was always a tranquil character. As a writer/artist, I like to put her in costumes and situations like this. Dancing, I thought, would be her favorite activity to do.

Well folks, there you have it. A purely Sin Divine post. Actually, there will be another one straight after this. I just wanted to do a post solely on Sin Divine. There aren’t enough of those. Besides, this blog is mainly for that anyways. l3

Stay tuned readers!

Absent

Hey followers,

Wow. I haven’t updated in about two months! My apologies. School has finally ended (thank God) and I’m free to update and finish what I previously started. I’m hoping to update everything I want too by this weekend. I’ve got A LOT to update on. Both new and old (and I mean stone age old) art to update with which I’m happy about. Even better is that a lot of the art will be Sin Divine related. Phew. Good thing.

Now that school is over, expect more updates. Assuming, of course, that I actually sit my tuccus down and finish. Ahh, only time can tell.

Until then readers, I’ll be seeing you.

My zephyr

Drawing One–Aphrodite: I drew this in my CLA class. At one point I tuned out of the Iliad lecture. A version of the goddess. Thats foam on her cloak by the way. If you know that story, then thumbs up to you!

Drawing Two–Doodle: Some random doodles I did during Health Psychology. I’m practicing the retro style. I’m completely in love with it.
Drawing Three–Sleep: Also done in my CLA class. This is the result of two nights of four to five hours of sleep.

Drawing Four– Retro Elisa: Like I said before, I’m in love with the retro style. I’ve been practicing it. This is Elisa in said style.

Drawing Five–Color: Harumi’s persona done in a retro style. A gift for her.

Drawing Six– Phaedra: If you know where this name comes from, congratulations to you! A character in a side story I wrote about a a herd of centaur, some goddess/gods and a woman named Pandora. Phaedra is the queen of the herd. This was done in CLA.

Drawing Seven–The charmer: The main character Dimitri trying to get on the good side of Phaedra. Behind, that little shadowy figure, is Pandora. This was done in CLA.

Drawing Eight–Rayebear: A doodle of Rayebear, my persona, in her new hairstyle. This was done in English.

Drawing Nine–Ophelia: Done one random night that my insomnia kicked in. I really should post this up in the Black Ophelia blog. The child( yes that is a child) she’s holding is Dante.

Sometimes I think I’m the only cab on the road

Phew. Sorry for the lack of updates. School is in full bloom and my attention has been on that. However, due to my lack of focus and attention in some courses, I’ve managed to doodle some things. Plenty more but it’s late so maybe more tomorrow.

Not Sin Divine related. How sad. There are drawings coming up soon! I just need time to make them pretty.

Note: I didn’t clean them up for the sake of it being a sketch. I like for people to see that I do use my basics before I actually draw.
Doodle 1 : I actually did this on Thursday during my Films Genre class. Boring as hell but hey, I sat through the 2 hour and 15 minute class.

Doodle 2 : My first set of doodles during class. I dont remember which. I bet it was Film Genres. Ah, it was. I did this during that Civil war documentary. That explains Josiah. At the bottom is Rayebear sporting her new haircut. Behind her is her boyfriend that I finally gave in to drawing. Long story behind that one. Not sure if he’ll stay. The rest are just random sketches.

Doodle 3 : Did this one Thursday during Classics. The left corner is Dehsyer. The right is Neria. OH look at that! A little of SD. Lets rejoice!

Doodle 4 : Jes with a pout. Yes, Sin Divine art! I didnt even notice it until now. (laugh) Of course, oblivious me.

Doodle 5 : Rayebear and her love interest. Random girl and some scratches I hated.

Doodle 6: Random going on here. I love drawing smitten pictures. The top corner proves that.

Doodle 7: Again, ADD caught me and told me to draw. So I obeyed and did so.

Doodle 8: Ophelia from Black Ophelia! YES. Some actual pictures. Consider this a sneak peek!

Doodle 9: Random things again. Love the girl in the top corner personally. Her hair <3

Someone like you

Here are some character sketches of the different Nations of Natheisa. Natheisa is a country, I guess you could say, where the main characters travel too. I’ve worked pretty closely trying to make it unique. The featured sketches are women who hail from their regions.

There are about five: The Jungle Territory (the kingdom of Babylonia), The Mountain Sector (The Nomadic Tribes of Himmyalpha), The Ocean Regions (No name yet), The Undergrounds Cities, (Xibalba a.k.a Tarturus. Note: pronounced SHI BAL BAH) and finally the Grand Desert Districts of the sister cities, Arapesh and Harahas (where the Arapeshi reside and Mundegumors protect).

Phew. So theres some background for you! I hope to have more art for Nations of Natheisa. We’ll just have to settle for character sketches for now.

If the quality looks terrible, I’m sorry. My scanner is old and hates doing any kind of work. Plus, I received a new monitor for my old, trusty computer. It’s all HD and advanced so to me, the drawings look alright. But if they look too dark or light, please, let me know! That would be most appreciated.

The Quelta, leader of the Tarturus Girls will be coming shortly!

I’m on call

Because I had the sudden urge to draw, I drew all last night. I tried to draw on Tegaki but it was being….complicated. I resorted to an Oekaki which did helped get the urge to draw out.
This is the result:
Tarturus Girl

First off, sorry for the poo that it turned out as. 4 am and skills do not go together. Plus, I do not draw on a Oekaki often, therefore I lack proper skills to conquer it. But hey, I tried.
One of the “Tarturus” Girls, Jesme. Theres a compnay of them and then their Quelta, the leader. I drew the Quelta today and hopefully, I’ll finish her later tonight.

Quick post

Happy Belated Holidays everyone!

I come baring gifts! Well…A gift. I decided to do a screen cap of Neria, main character later on in the story. I was watching the amusing “Sinbad: legend of the seven seas” on cartoon network and saw Eris. She completely inspired me to draw Neria. Eris is such a deliciously mischievous character and I saw her connections with Neria.

So here we are!

I dont take credit for the background or anything; just my blonde, Neria. sorry for the crapiness of my skillz
