Rifted Riders NPCs
Ophelia and Regis Valerianus (father and daughter), and Sir Reolin, and bonus Timaeus Scipio
Hitomi
Not quite as good as the last two, but her features are pretty for a realized anime person.
She really does look young, which is perfect.
Hrulash
Okay. Disregard what I said about the last painting. THIS is the best thing I have ever painted.
If you’re wondering why I didn’t just go all out sparkle-bishie and give him a background of roses, it’s because… roses are hard, forget that. : P
Soundtrack is sung by Morikawa Toshiyuki, Hrulash’s voice match, and the reason why I painted Hrulash as an angstbucket instead of a badass for once. XD
*stares at own painting* I’m not used to being impressed with my own work… I know that I’m still going to improve, but this is just… amazing for my current level of skill. XD (I might tweak the hair again… hair is a pain
Aiya and Hitomi
Totally cribbed this sketch from the second-season second-arc opening of SAO, but it fits.
: )
Feyless
Feyless again. I realize he looks a lot like Zevran (and maybe acts a lot like Dark Zevran, too, really) but… that’s just what you get when you have a dark-skinned blonde elf? : P
This might be the best painting I’ve done yet, whoever it’s of… Except for the hair. The hair in the back I wasn’t sure what to do with. So it’s a mess still. EDIT: I did something to it. Still not perfect but better than before. EDIT 2: messed with it some more, it’s even better now. : P
Listened to this for a great deal of the painting, because Toru Okawa is Feyless’s voice now… I’m 100% sure the words don’t match Feyless at all. But it’s his voice.
Fanservice Day 2015
Sooooo it is the custom on April 1st among certain parts of the internet to post fanart rather than playing amusing (or otherwise) pranks on each other. I fully support the creation of fanservice.
Thus, here are my two oversexualized hoors posturing for your attention. : P Feyless was originally going to wear pants, but then his legs looked so good I decided to show them off too. Tirezi is very pleased with herself being portrayed in art for the first time, and I actually had fun designing a super-complex sexy outfit. She’s Lord Feyless’s first lieutenant, and she’s a firemage whose specialty is bird-shaped fire spells. They casually sleep together when Feyless isn’t chasing anyone else. (She’s confused by Hitomi’s persistent resistance to Feyless.)

Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Cato and Aelius
Petrus Cato and Jesse Aelius, the Centurion and Optio of the III/III Dragonriders of Quintus, chilling out in camp after laying their weapons aside but not yet their armour.
Did some research for this, which is why their sandals look fantastic, but Petrus’s armour is basically straight-up fantasy armour. I might redesign it in future to be a little closer to reality. He might have one of those one-piece frontplates, even though I think they’re stupid and preclude being able to bend over. Thari suggests it would be more practical in leather, but then Petrus can’t have it gold-plated because he’s a rich brat. : P Even if I do give him a one-plate, it won’t be one of those stupid muscle-armours and it DEFINITELY won’t have nipples. : P Seriously, why did they put nipples on their armour? It’s disturbing. o.O
Anyway, Jesse is an archer, that’s why he has a thing on his arm. I also gave them a couple scars, just because.
