Wow, your art is truly amazing.
Those are digitally painted yes?

[Encode]

@Toxic Rainbow Kisses Yeah they are (: Unfortunately I was never really in a situation where I could afford to learn how to paint traditionally because of the cost of supplies and the like, so I do all my painting digitally. I actually do about 90% of my work digitally otherwise simply out of convenience, but I enjoy some traditional media like charcoal and coloured pencil from time to time, and do a lot of work in sketch books that I'm too lazy to scan XD

(S.R.) Just posting what one of the banners is from again:


This one is Rasconza (most certainly named after a character in Redwall way back from Jr. High). She was one of the first characters I ever made, but practically everything about her has changed. (She also used to be a Draik because Neopets because whatever.)

So, in S.R. there is a 'Gate of Death' which was traditionally guarded by a single person for some hundreds of years, who would pass on the job to somebody else when they found their ability to empathize with mortals fading. It just so happens the one at the time S.R. takes place, Spectyre, reached this point rather quickly, and decided not to pass the job on.

Spectyre enlists the help of various people over time who help 'make things easier', and while these people are referred to as Angels, their jobs can include rather cruel and inhumane tasks depending on their specialties in magic and personality.

Rasconza is one of these, but she doesn't really have to deal with any of the messy business. Her job is simply to record the events that happen in the lands of mortal men (although she tends to spend most of her time researching and doing experiments instead). Rasconza's not supposed to intervene with the major events that occur, but ends up doing so in a very significant way.

I think your digital paintings are Beautiful

That is great to hear, since I'll probably end up posting a lot XD

My friend and I were doing 'kitags', where each person sets a goal of work for 45 minutes, and if you don't finish in time, you have to draw something for the other person in 20 minutes. So here's one of the sketches from when I lost:

Haven't been doing much besides working on finals, but here's an update on the storyboarding assignment.



Current to-do list is basically just clean up, particularly the very beginning and the stormy night scene.

Also, I just realized I haven't been sharing much about mah menz, so here's a bit old (but fairly updated) temporary ref for Rain, also showing what one of the banner images is from.



Rain Starr is his stage name, because he's cheesy like that. The main idea behind Rain's personality is that he is supposed to be likable in early interactions - he is polite, eager to please, and so on - however, getting to know him better reveals that he's very unreliable, detached, and fairly selfish in the long run. Like Razzy, he started off as a Neopet |:

Heehee, Volibear from League of Legends XP

(S.R.) I certainly haven't been drawing much lately. Been in a bit of a general slump X_X



So I tried to scribble something up to get back into the flow of things. This kid here is Roy Mordicius, and he plays a very important role in S.R. much to his own dismay. He tries very hard to avoid the responsibilities other people want to press on him, but eventually they're going to catch up

(I don't know what he is wearing ._. )



Now I'm just experimenting with a style. This guy is Kathius, but I'll explain more about him when the image is finished.

The Volibear is adorable, I love the colors that you used! Your story board was also really interesting, some of the frames were beautifully drawn, especially where she's being swept away by the current and then falls down and starts drowning.. not that I enjoy seeing characters in pain, I just thought it was well drawn. XD How long have you spent on it so far?

Thanks! I've made a lot of LoL chibies in the past, but that one is my favorite by far

I actually finished that assignment (my finals were due two weeks ago), I just forgot to update it with the final version. It's not too much different really, just some cleaned up bits and a tweak to the water scene to fit the music.
