Christmas presents!!

1 Reply

Here are two presents which I painted for other people! There are three more presents waiting to be given, so you won’t get to see them until next week. : D

First! For Aja of True Magic the webcomic, Gauth Schönen!

Appropriately enough, I was in the middle of my Tsubasa binge, so I decided to make him as over-the-top Japanese-y pretty bishie as I could. Which is not very much, but it’s more than usual. I also tried out a new technique – using the regular brush on partial opacity. Other people use this to great effect and I’d like to get better at it. I actually really like this picture. : ) Continue reading →

Crouching Lion, Hidden Power

Okay, the title is just an excuse for being really cheesy. I like cheesy sometimes.

It’s AUR!! I have tried to draw him before, but he never came out… There are other attempts which are so bad they are not touching my computer let alone the interwebs. But this one is actually kind of recognizable, sort of. (I think part of it is that his new character art makes him look more ‘shaggy’ and less ‘mullet-y’. lol!) I wanted to try really getting detailed with costume design, too, because you know how my characters all wear 1) tunic 2) pants 3) boots 4) belt – and that’s pretty much all they need. Except Ceniro, because he is a little more realistic. (I don’t think Ceniro has underwear anymore, though. X D Tmi?) Anyway, and except Esgalwen, because she wears a dress. Anyway anyway, so that’s why you don’t recognize what Aur is wearing. Because I went crazy.

Colour will be coming on this one soon! He deserves it.

I drew this because I read through Darkstar again (fantastic story – I cry every time KluYa shows up and says goodbye T_T) and I was thinking really hard about the voices – Ben’s ‘deep warm golden’ voice, Kip’s ‘now, now…’ Cecil’s heroic tenor, Kain’s deep snarky voice, Edge’s irritable baritone, the huge differences between Pren/Joran/Rosa/Rydia, and… Chase. He’s just a little kid. But if you look between the cracks, he’s recovering more and more subconscious awareness of who he used to be (AAAUUUUURRRR 😀 ) or else the author uses him to fill plot holes – JUST KIDDING, AYWREN! Anyway, so I am a big ChAur fan and any excuse is good enough to try and draw him. He’s a lion-bishie! XD

Aur scribble

I felt like posting something! The only thing I have left to do today is practice (and study Latin and play Guild Wars – Kessex Peak is still waiting!) so I decided to put SOMETHING UP. Especially since I’m bored and I’ve been listening to Kalmaeirin playlists on my iTunes for the last two hours while I wrote my Linguistics paper for this week.

Soooo… this is the first picture I drew with Corel Painter, with the pencil tool and my glorious tablet, and it is of Aur from Dreigiau. It’s not very good, so I didn’t send it to Aywren. I mean, it’s better than the last picture of Aur I drew. But still not really good enough. Though I think it’s decent enough to be posted. The scribble of Link I did a few weeks ago, though… X P That will not be posted. Ugh.

I think I gave Aur too much eyelashes.

Cheers!

Aur the SOLDIER

... ... ... What?

… … … What?

Um. Aur, of Dreigiau/Shimmer/Darkstar/Wayrift fame (though for the last two he’s called Chase), as a SOLDIER from Final Fantasy VII. I know Aywren doesn’t particularly care for FFVII, as she’s one of those who thinks the last great FF game was VI. But my brother loves FFVII: Crisis Core, and wanted to play a game based on it. So I was the player, he was the gamemaster, and I randomly picked to play as Aur because I think Aur is cool and it meant I didn’t have to think up a brand new person and I didn’t have to play as one of my pre-existing characters, which would have made him groan in exasperation. And while we were playing I drew a picture. Continue reading →
