Sardonic Marth

Oh yeah, Medeus? XD

Oh yeah, Medeus? XD

Well, rocking out while painting is not recommended, but when it’s to music like this… the above picture is the result. That’s the Shadow Dragon Medley from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and it is AMAZING. I love the battle theme music in there (EDIT: I have been informed by YouTube that the specific theme is actually used for exposition cutscenes. Whatever. It’s too awesome for that). Marth is groovy! So I painted him that way. Bwahahaha.

Just a quick sketchie. Working on something much bigger (again) in yet another different style. Night, folks!

Guardian Angel

<3

This is my guardian angel, also known as the personification of my conscience. He doesn’t always carry that big sword around, but he does use it for beating off demons – and sometimes for whacking me over the head when I do something stupid. But mostly he whaps me in the head or shoulder with his hand – or just crosses his arms and looks disapproving.

He’s also supportive when I need him, but that’s more Flairé’s job. Continue reading

Hey it’s another picture that will take me multiple days to finish! Initial comments?

I still have to finish the shirt etc… and now that I look at it his neck is kind of 2D. So I’ve got those covered. Anything else?

Wilderness

wilderness

This painting has been in my head since… Sunday, July 17th, around 5:00 PM. This was during an Evensong sermon at CCC, in which the pastor spoke to us organists about how we were all wonderful people but not adventurous unless pushed, so she challenged us to ‘step out of the box and head into the wilderness’ like John the Baptist and Christ and anyone else you can think of who went into the wilderness. Now that day I was really having a bad day, so the idea of ‘wilderness’ terrified me and I nearly broke down in church… but I did get this picture in my head, and I decided I felt like painting it because it’s an interesting picture.

Douce France

Is this really what I'd do if I were rich? ...Dunno. Check back later.

Is this really what I’d do if I were rich? …Dunno. Check back later.

So this just popped into my head – first the song, Douce France by Charles Trenet, which is an absolutely gorgeous song and you should listen to it, and then the picture. The picture is what I would do if I were rich and could afford a convertible and enough time to go on one of them old-fashioned ‘road trips’ – oh, and if I had the inclination to go on a road trip. : P Anyway, so I’d drag Leslie and Kevin and Organist along with me, and we would crank up Trenet to top volume and just cruise happily. And we’d all wear sunglasses ‘coz we’re cool like that. Actually I’ve never seen Kevin wear sunglasses. But I’m sure he has them. I’m not sure what’s happening in the back seat, but it looks like Kevin wants to see the map but Organist won’t let him.

Wil and Florina, colour

Okay. I’m just getting lazy with the pictures now. This one was pretty much entirely done by: outline! flat colour! burn (darken shadows)! dodge (lighten highlights)! Also Wil’s hand is absolute garbage. This is based off an ooooooooooooold picture so maybe that will be a sort of saving grace but I doubt it. Anyway! Um, background is yoinked off Fire Emblem Planet . net but it’s actually from the game itself, so, thank you, Nintendo and Intelligent Systems! : P I also shortened Wil’s giraffe-like neck, but failed to realize this gives him an extruded torso. He’s not actually very tall; just Florina’s really really small. Also when I drew Florina way back when I did I basically traced the official art so her pose may look familiar.

I like blueberries! We had lots today.
