Yay! Something that turned out! If you don’t remember them these two heads are representative of my Silver Helm guys. Turmith, or at least part of him that was abandoned due to NOT turning out, is on the left. Elfin is on the right, sans armour… and what a handsome fellow he is. So earnest looking. He’s my favourite. Here’re the minis, to remind you: Turmith, Elfin.
Back to back, although complete strangers to each other
My two favourite characters of Tsubasa Chronicle are Fai and Touya. Touya’s hair is completely terrible. I’m not sure what the kanji say anymore. I think ‘challenge’. The little Touya is better. And these guys would never have met in canon, so I guess I just stuck them together. Man, I like Touya’s big sword. It has no detail here, though.
He usually likes dodging, but it’s fun to knock out multiple targets, too.
Colby Purcell once declared herself to be “a screaming fangirl for Fai!” I agree. Fai rules. I guess by this time I had watched up to the episode in which there is a temple floating in the sky with a narrow path up to it and bad guys come out of portals and attack them. Fai, forgoing his magic, does a whole bunch of really cool acrobatics fighting them off. He pretends to be lazy, but he’s really cool to watch. This picture is terrible, especially the bad guys (blobs, as usual) but it’s my first Tsubasa fanart…
And another thank you to Colby for providing the link to the YouTube video of Episode 1 and introducing me to YouTube and Tsubasa at one stroke. You can’t find it on there any more… copyright issues. I bought the DVD, as I think I said once. Not the pinnacle of excellence, but it’s Tsubasa, and that’s enough.
Whump
So, my fanart of my original character. That just seems wierd to me, me drawing fanart of my own thing. Fanart. But that’s what it is.
This is also a pretty good picture of Flairé, though not as good as the last one. Anatomy is still my bane, though his left hand is not too bad. I think he’s supposed to be landing. That’s why his wierd shirt is flapping all around.
Sproing!!!

It’s Flairéeeeeeeeeeee! (glomp)
Flairé: (completely unfazed) Um, yeah. About time, too.
Oh, go on. Anyway, I drew this for my brother’s Dungeons and Dragons homebrewed rules, version… uh… 2, I think. Or was it 1.1? I can’t remember. Anway, I wrote out his backstory (see below) and then I drew a picture of him to go with it… and fell in love with it. Completely. Like a 13 year old fangirl. I mean, look! He’s got such beautiful hair, and his eyes are exactly Flairé, and the skirt of his tunic isn’t totally wacky, and he’s tall and slender and graceful. My mom doesn’t think much of this picture. His pose could be improved, I’ll admit – his back needs to curve more and give even more sense of movement. And I used my cheat for drawing hands. But the hair… Continue reading
Swirly? Swishy? Pretty?
LinT! And now for the actual fanart the last two pictures were leading up to! I am really pleased with this, even though I tried drawing eyes at least twice and each time it spoiled it, so I left them out which is something I’ve done before, or since then, or something. I think they still look good. And it’s shaded! Decently! And they might be somewhat in proportion! Oh, yes, I am not ashamed of submitting this to the fanart contest – even though everyone else did much more fantastic art. Aja won, and Andrael placed as well, but I can’t remember which place. Colby hasn’t put up the fanart on her new site yet; she’s still dealing with the archives. Which, of course, are much more important! Whee!
Rahr, Sangwine!
LinT! Bactine was waaaay harder to draw than Sangwine. I chose to draw my favourite picture of here, on page 61, last panel. My favourite picture of Sangwine is on page 69, panel 5; at least, that used to be my favourite panel. He’s evolved into something even more handsome – well, he’s an elf! What do you expect? But back to Bactine: She’s hard to draw.
Huhhhh…
Colby was having a fanart contest to celebrate LinT getting to 200 pages! I wanted to draw something, since I love LinT so much anyway, but first I needed to know ‘how to draw’ Sangwine etc. So here he is, and I don’t think this is from a particular picture, but Sangwine is rather easy to draw from scratch. I did refer to the comic, though. He’s got thick eyebrows! And pretty hair!
Helllllooooooo, handsome
It’s Oscar with his eyes open! My brother says that doesn’t count as chibi, but I say he’s cuter than usual, so I get to call him chibi. I personally don’t think he’s “squinty-eyed” – I think his eyes are just permanently in the ‘happy’ Japanese sign, though so ambiguously that it doesn’t look strange when his mouth turns serious and he talks about serious stuff. Hey, Oscar’s cool, and a pretty good paladin. And he cooks, yet he isn’t a nutcase like Lowen. (ha ha ha ha) His ear is also slightly detailed. Nice eyes, though.
Lucia: You’d never think he’s over 100 except that he snores. Janaff: Hey!
The sort of back story behind this picture is that Janaff and Lucia are hiding in a large shallow cave on the side of a cliff, and she has a nightmare so he holds her, and falls asleep in a rather uncomfortable position. Well, she’s comfortable, at least. And that’s about it. I like the pose. I couldn’t let myself erase the bit of Janaff’s belt that’s hidden by her arm, so it looks a little funny. Ugh. They’re sweet together.
