(Done in 2009) First up is my pencil-drawn (Later "inked" on the computer) tribute to one of my favorite Anime characters of all time: Lina Inverse of "The Slayers". I could go onnn, and onnn about how much I love this show, but this post is about drawings...SO, I'll just go "onnn and onnn" about how much I love "The Slayers" in a future post. ^_^ But I will say here and now that it IS my favorite Anime of all time.
(Done in 2008) As a child, if I wasn't drawing, I was writing stories...I ended up writing a TON of unfinished projects ("unfinished" due to a virus wiping my computer squeeky clean, and the bad decision on my part not to put any of them on a floppy disk). This is an illustration from one of them...and it is dear to me because of the memories that fill my head whenever I look at it. I never really did have a title for this particular story, but it was PRETTY much your standard 'hero embarks on quest while meeting and befriending a ragtag group of adventurers including a girl who is somehow the key to power untold'...in case you are truly curious, this particular image is of one of the characters, "Ryvendariel" coming to the aid of "Ailorwyn". Even if these stories hadn't perished under the wrath of computer viruses, I don't think I would ever truly have the courage to even attempt to publish them. I'll always have more confidence in my visual pieces then anything written.
(Done in 2008) This one doesn't really have much of a story behind it, other than I actually drew it during rehearsals for "A Midsummer Night's Dream"...though I SHOULD have been memorizing my lines, choreography, and lyrics for the Fairy lullaby...I think it started off with the intent of being a mermaid...then it sort of evolved more into an elf...but it could be some kind of elf-mermaid-hybrid, or whatever. Either way, I've always really liked this piece.
(Done in 2008) Aaaah, Guild Wars...see, I WANTED to play World of Warcraft, but I just didn't have the funds or the time to play it...so I got Guild Wars. I actually had some good adventures with that game...however, I found myself very bored with the "story", and I also found myself not really giving a crap about any of the main characters, which is a REAL problem in my book. Plus, when you reach Lvl 20, that's it. No more leveling up. That combined with the weak story and character development, there really isn't much room for enjoyment, save for adventuring with other players. But one of Guild War's major strong points definitely go to the art. This game is GORGEOUS, and has some of the coolest looking armor I've ever seen in a game...particularly the outfits worn by the Mesmers. Although the Mesmer pictured above wears an outfit designed by myself, that's not to say that the Mesmers didn't have some of the best-looking costumes in the game. It was more because there are TONS of Mesmers running around with the same outfit on GW, and I wanted to give her a unique outfit.
(Done in 2007) So this was done during my "Vampire Phase"...eh, okay, so I *still* have a thing for Vampires, but...oh, shut up!
(Done in 2006) Aaah yes, the Queen Bitch of the Universe herself. Starcraft is one of my all time favorites, and like many other games, took up countless hours of my childhood. Diablo is also one of my favorites, and yet, for some reason I've never drawn a piece that I was entirely satisfied with. Also, the Protoss have always been my favorite race on Star Craft...so much that I don't dare even attempt to draw one.
So yeah, that's it for now. ^_^
Yes as a matter of fact, I DID get your fan art! It's awesome!!! You're very talented and don't let the world of retail get you down :)
