Caibu and Pericles

peribu

Caibu Westrin, the part-siren soldier/bodyguard/mercenary who joins the White Eagles after Mwennon takes over in order to look after Faine, and Pericles Katsaros, the Neoman archer of the White Eagles who he falls in love with. Initially reluctant to start a new relationship (both because his last boyfriend was murdered and because he’s not sure Pericles is interested), Caibu needs quite a bit of ‘encouragement’ from Faine to take the step of asking Peri out.

This picture isn’t as well composed as the previous one so the boys don’t get colour. : P

Renee and Rigel

reneegilsm

Got a bit annoyed with my lack of completing anything, and then Renee, one of my OCs in Anima’s Seal told me she was bi and that Rigel, another OC, was super-cute, and then this happened. : D So please welcome my fourth non-straight pairing, Renee and Rigel! (The other three are: Eoelva and Aieru, Rain Tabris and Sarah Amell, and Pericles Katsaros (with Yllamse’s Caibu Westrin).) But these two! Are they not cute as buttons? : D

Renee is a forthright young lady, a graduate of the Ostia Academy and one of Lord Garlent’s pupils (and therefore a former classmate of Ceniro’s). She fights with a spear (Recruit, Tier 3, level 5 (or Halberdier, level 5, but they don’t exist in FE7)(although neither do Recruits)) and stands up against bullies *coughmiltoncough*, but while cheerful, eager to prove herself, and justice-seeking, will not hold back from giving her peers *coughcenirocough* a tongue-lashing if she feels they messed up. Ambitious, but slightly more emotional than she herself would like, although she is learning to embrace it and channel it into her battles.

Rigel is a young student of elder magic (Shaman, level 18) who is vastly curious about the world. She is looking for the topic of her third thesis, and considers herself a scholar first and foremost, and a fighter not at all. As such, she tends not to listen to Ceniro’s commands at all, and to Renee’s only with coaxing, making her a frustrating unit to work with. She can flip-flop from frightened and awkward to self-confident and knowledgeable, almost coy, in the blink of an eye, and is quite good at putting her foot in her mouth.

I’m also working on character designs for Milton and Freya on a bit sheet that also includes Renee and Rigel, so that will hopefully happen tomorrow. I’ve also been plugging away at the group picture of the III/III so that might be done in the next month or so. : P But right now it’s 3AM and my hand hurts, and I also want to work on my Flairé cosplay mock-up tomorrow. Also J-rock is great.

Salir sketches

salirsketches

Sketches of Salir, my FE7 Sain’s girlfriend OC. Last time I drew her, I gave her a haircut, but I decided to see what she looked like before that, and she turned out pretty much how I imagined her, which is great. (I also got a lot of practice with hands done on this picture. : P )

Salir works as a barmaid at the Sword and Squirrel Inn (which name is not supposed to be a reference to her relationship, but there you go : P ), hence the cute apron in some of the sketches.

In personality, she brings the female gaze, and she brings it HARD. Super bubbly, genki, and extroverted, she is good at her job and adores her handsome, silly knight. She’s about 5’3, one of the shortest characters I have. She also has a theme song now. She is disgustingly cute, and she and Sain are even more disgustingly cute together. Continue reading

Header WIP

Just uploaded a new header for the site; I’m reasonably happy with the lineart (except Flairé – what’s going on with your face, buddy?) but I’ll probably completely redo the colour later. Still, there’s enough here to update the banner with something a little more indicative of my current art and most important characters. : P

As for the characters, they’re pretty evenly mixed, I think… two kalmaei, one elf, one Hylian, two humans, a dragon, and an angel… and five males to three females isn’t bad. What is a little more odd is that there are four brunettes and three with black hair; not a lot of diversity there, and four with brown eyes, three with green, and one with grey.

If anyone doesn’t know who these people are, from L-R it’s: Zela and her son Flairé from the Adhemlenei, Esgalwen/Illinia from Mirkwood (Middle Earth), Ceniro of Santaruz from Elibe (FF7), Rana from Hyrule (LoZ), Hrulash and Garekhen from Rifted Riders, and Angel from my head. These people are the ones most fundamental to the development of my inner worlds.

Just wait: in a year or two, Liz will be on the header too. : P

Full-size art!

Flairé and Tam

flairetam

Tam is such a huge weirdo. Flairé thinks it’s great. And that’s why Tam hangs out with him and they are such good friends.

Tam: \m/
Flairé: : )

Getting back into visual art after all that Dragon Age writing. This image has been in my head for at least a year, so I’m glad to get it out, and hey, despite not being in practice, they both look like themselves! Especially Tam, who in the past has been a huge pain in the butt to look consistent – and properly cool. : P

Super Spies 1

feyteospyposter1

Movie poster look for Teodor and Feyless being modern super spies. Inspired by this song. If you’re wondering whether the song applies more to Feyless or to Teodor, the answer is yes.
I meant to put some text from the song on the poster but I am no graphic designer; I have no idea how to get it to look good. : P
Gonna make another later where they’re pointing guns at each other. : D
This does have some grounding in reality… Both of them are spies in RR, and may have tangled at some point in Teodor’s sordid past…
