Collab I am doing with Tigrrlily on DA or my character Angra. Started a long time ago but I finally got off my ass and colored it. Thin ink phase always takes to damn long I lose my steam by the time I get to the colors.

Whoa an update? holy shit haven't seen one of those in a while. Yes, I come bearing news for those who don't read this. I met a girl this semester who can actually stand my crazy ass and is delightfully quirky enough to balance me out. She and I are now in a relationship and thing are going well. This is here is a portrait of my sweet lil' Amberli.

Angra Femme a.k.a. DAT ASS!!!

2010-01-19T00:05:00.000-08:00

I sketched this out in April 09 but but hadn't the skill to finish it. Having done some stuff in between I found a way to finish it to my satisfaction. This is Angra, my personal character for a storyline rolling around in my head. Story BG chunks used to be on DA but I deleted them in the throes of epic nerd rage. So I will get the story don't at some point in the future. maybe...
Anywizzle, this is Angra in her feminine form. She can switch back and forth from a muscular form and femme form at will depending on what she needs to do. Gotta love dat ass.

The Green Faeries' Song

2010-01-11T23:47:00.000-08:00

This is a commission pic I took during the summer for a very dear friend of mine. This is her character Mizuki. She has just had a hard time and is in a very dark place literally and figuratively. As you may or may not know, Absinthe is called the Green Faerie and is one of Tigrrrlily's favorite drinks hence its inclusion in the pic. Plus I like drawing fairy boobs

aaaaaawww yeah /:{)

Rukia in Earth Tones

2009-08-01T21:25:00.000-07:00

I love earth tones. I mean seriously, 90% of what I wear is earth tones. I just kinda picked the colour by accident and the pic started colouring itself after that. Special thanks to CaptainJane @ DA for getting me to draw Rukia.

These are the other versions of her that I have been calling "Cheshire Rukia." I guess the new preview for Alice in Wonderland is inspiring that.

Ok so on the news a week ago they were talking about this "Big Pot Bust" in my town. Which I chuckled at b/c I have a juvenile sense of humor which then lead me create this.

I looked over 14-Bis's tutorial on shadows and it was quite informative. I didn't know the actual names of the different types but being able to id them I will be able to pay more attention to the differing types of shadows I can employ. I tried to do a little bit of it in this pic here. I still need a little work.

Orihime, how I love the...

2009-06-12T23:21:00.000-07:00

"But Ichigo," Orihime said in her soft lilting voice, "isn't it too late to play int he sprinkler? And won't your sword get rusty?" Ichigo, hiding his lower half behind a bush, said, "Just never mind about my 'SWORD', you go play in the water.... PRANCE I SAY, PRANCE!"

LOLZ! This one act play was brought to you by retardation.

This is a pic I have laying around since last summer and just now decided go finish. I gotta give mad props to Speedy Himura at DA for creating this line art which inspired such a boner.

Finally finished up that pic of Astro Boy. I gotta say I am quite pleased with how that light effect came out on his face. Looks similar to the Udon Crew pics of the Street Fighter stories they are doing.

Proctology

2009-06-09T16:21:00.000-07:00

Forgot about this one. Did it as a lark. I saw the image on Blizzard from Primal Rage with his fist in the air and I couldn't help think but think about anal fisting.... I watch too much porn I think. Anyhoozle! This is it.

I loved Batman the Animated Series. I mean I seriously LOVED that show. I watched it religiously from the premiere episode on Fox in the afternoon (4:00 in my area) and even when it went to Cartoon Network on the Toonami line up (after Tenchi Muyo I believe). The animation was just wonderful and the artistic design was enchanting. They made everything look like it was the late 1930's - 1940's and gave all the characters/back grounds a stylized look but kept with a hand painted feel. It was a treat to watch. The characters and storylines were so moving too! I mean, if you didn't cry during Heart of Ice then you suck! but I digest...

I always thought the logo for Batman TAS was pretty cool so I decided to do a vexel version of it so I could use it as a desktop.

The Original Logo (c) of I don't know DC? WB? sorry...
