DONE HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *falls over*
Oomph. Another monster done. Woo hoo! Anyways, took way too long, and almost died each time I went to open the file. I'd click on it, and as soon as it appeared, it'd be like, "POW!" and I'd explode. Too much work to be done on the thing. All done from scratch, and not even a sketch to start out- the freaking thing was spawned entirely from Photoshop, with its ridiculously hard-to-draw face, armor, and dragon...oei....But lookie, I vanguished it! And for some reason, it almost looks as if my char is breathing...chest heaving, edgy...I think I've gone nuts...  This evil thing took a good week to finish (thanks to the many distractions you find yourself running into in college, including food, people...and food), and I'll be going back to touch it up once I take a break, but for now....MUAHAHAHAHA, I win against your horrible time-absorbing-artsy-ness, monster painting! I win!  Oh, and fyi, the dragon IS supposed to have a pair of front legs...I just got lazy.So...onto the more serious stuff. I started this as a way to express my inner self (aka excuse to draw my main character...and shiny armor!), but my 22-year-old cousin just passed away the other day after years of battling unidentifiable tumors -not cancer- , and I thought that it might be a nice tribute to incorporate the idea of freedom into it, now that she's no longer suffering. Besides my thought of drawing out the main char (aka alter-ego of the "me" that feels still trapped and grounded to the planet) and the dragon above symbolizing the freedom of the soul within the prison of the character's body, I wanted to give her a little something in order to express my best wishes and love for her. Here's to you, Nina. Have a safe journey wherever your wings may take you. <3 |

Not everyone finds true love. Not everyone gets to be happy
my tunnel dont have lights at the end.i am destined, into a dark loneliness, i am stuck on islands by which no ships will pass to save me. There is no love. There is nothing but the sadness.
i would love to draw that character sometime, if its okay with you

The world is full of love and war, I'm just trying to survive it.
Plz, check out my gallery.
i had a character who i couldn't decide on a name for...it changed about 5 times before i actually decided on something...
when it comes to names usually i just look at a list of japanese names or pick an interesting word and rearrange the letters, lol ^_^
...any information i need to know about the character before i start the picture? or anything youd like me to put in the picture (like castles, dragons, etc)...

Well, the character actually has an interesting tie to a god within the book...and he has a silver/white tattoo of an intricate "god's eye" that appears on his forehead when he uses his abilities more than he can handle (it's sort of like the gaslight if you're low when you're driving...except that it's not just a tattoo...:}). Anyways, he has a sword that looks similar to this (this is a rough, rough sketch): [link] . His eyes, since you can't see them well, are also iridescent blue/green (like opal), with flecks of silver and gold in them. However, even when the tattoo fades away after he recovers his energy, sometimes his left eye stays a silver color...
Other than that, you can even redesign his outfit if you'd like- this is his more simple/formal riding attire -unlike his traveling armor, his war armor, his formal uniform robes/cloak, and his casual, casual clothing- so have fun experimenting. ^_^
