Zemi of Wayrift etc.!! I recall (maybe incorrectly?) that when he gets dressed in people clothes, his robe has a dragon on it… but Wren never drew it (probably because it would be crazy-hard to do). So I decided to put it on, and used brushes from here…
So, here’s the Zemi-kins showing off again. As he usually does. And so on.
You should see this picture – it comes with a delightful (though a little bit sad) story.
King Lusiel and Queen Siasara, for Rose in the sketch commissions. Hope she likes them! Her characters are cute. Apparently these two pick on each other, but love each other very much underneath. Betcha anything they met as young heroes, and then tried to settle down, and the universe said “nuh-uh, you’re not going to rest on your laurels! Gotta keep saving me!” Something like that.
Oh yeah, and he’s an elf and she’s a human. But These Elves Are Different, from what I can gather.
Whoops I forgot to colour in one part white. Oh well.
One of those sketch commissions, this is for imahappi, of Storme. Apparently he’s an assassin, and partly a mage? But the pin-stripes suggested a city-background to me, so: blobs. Hope it’s not too terrible, imahappi!
Kip! OMEGA Kip, being awesome. Sketch commish for TalonV. Technomance! It’s like romance, except… really, really not!
…He has too much hair. And an incredibly lame background. I had some fun exploring my brushes, though. I used some grunge brushes and even a blood spatter brush. Calligraphy brush for the white swirls, and of course the star brush on scatter.
Some kind of awesome swordsman for the artist-who-draws-cute-people, Maracate.
Now that I’m done, his face seems kind of off. : P
First of the sketch commissions, for Yllamse, fellow Wayrift fan. Hmm, why does this scenario seem like something exactly like what she’d draw herself? : D Not gonna lie, it was super fun to do.
Quickie picture of Hrulash and his dragon buddy Garekhen for the Wayrift Dragonrider contest.
In the Adhemlenei, Hrulash is Tseo’s buddy, and the second-in-command of the Royal Guard; he is not that great at combat, actually, but he is the best knight for paperwork ever. But he is rather uptight and impatient, exceedingly serious, demanding of his underlings, and possessed of a good enough tactical skill that people can’t say he only got his position by being friends with Tseo. Garekhen, the dragon, is also quite serious and focused on doing things the right way, but finds an enormous simple pleasure in flying with his friend.
I kinda slopped this together in a couple hours. That’s why the anatomy is a complete fail, even though I did try, at least with Hrulash… A few things: Garekhen has lion-like paws and no back-spikes. So with the horns and the lack of fins, he looks quite different from Hoarwilk, the other golden dragon we’ve met so far.
Hrulash’s name means Riverwave, and Garekhen is a dragon-name so the kalmaei don’t know what it means.
Click for larger size! I spent a while working on this one, and it turned out… not too bad, I have to say. The sunset came out pretty much how I wanted it, and Flairé too. Yes, that means much too bright and colourful… whatever. Leslie… is much too small. But I fail at perspective anyway… Anyway, she liked it, and that’s what matters.
P.S. If I ever get a car, I am going to name it Norma.
This was my goodbye picture for my buddeh, Andrew, who I used to go running with. Unfortunately, I was out of inspiration, so I just scribbled this at midnight two days before I saw him. : P He said he liked it anyway.
It’s the attack of the red-headed elves! This is Elkyari, otherwise known as Cardinal (as in the red crested bird). You may or may not remember him from this page in the Flairé comic. So here he is in his ninja catsuit thing. He is actually quite a good soldier and captain, too, and has become rather an influential character, although you haven’t seen much of him – yet!
I’m not sure if that’s his natural colour. He likes it, though.
