Click for larger. Decided it was high time to turn the temporary header into a slightly more detailed header. I tweaked the anatomy a little bit but Esgalwen’s nose is still blurp. I mostly did this to procrastinate on the last Transistor fanart which is the most ambitious one. I may tweak this further but it’s a lot shinier than it was before.
This week I found out that front break-falls in karate have been messing up my neck so not going to do those anymore.
The heck is this shit
I was grumpy when I came home from work the other day (grumpy for no reason, really) but I drew Hru to make me feel better, and it worked. He looks a bit older here.
Yllamse suggested I draw her the boys for Christmas (I was going to buy her something, but ran out of shipping time, oops). Chose to draw them in all their mature badassery, including custom armour, custom weapons, and Jayce’s magi graduate tattoo. Click for full-size, suitable for using as a wallpaper.
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!
Designed for wallpaper use. Mwennon’s shoulder strap goes the wrong way because I am derp.
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
Someone help me come up with a better title. That one is lame.
I tried a colouring technique I haven’t before… at least not often: setting a brush on like 5% opacity and going over it lots.
This picture I got the idea for after seen a thumbnail of a pretty guy in a broken mask on Youtube. So of course I go to my current default bishie-boy… This one looks more elfy than most, though, so it’s probably Adhemlenei!Hrulash, rather than Qismah!Hrulash. He was going to be holding a sword in his other hand but I messed up the perspective and didn’t feel like going back to it.
The lineart under the mask is kind of pretty, too, so I might finish this picture with him having no silly mask at all.
Soundtrack while painting this piece: SnK OST
