First Portfolio Piece: WIP

Yes, college time is on its way and I still haven't started my portfolio, so I thank the gods for the ability to shit out quality art in a day. I'm still working on this one though, but I felt it's worth sharing, it's Jam in her new wardrobe, a peacoat, hoodie, flannel and t-shirt with lace-up boots, jeans, assorted trinkets and a new sitar to replace her old lute. I'm not sure about the background so far, so it's blank for the time being.

New Sketchbook, New Art

The best way to start a blog post? Cheesecake. Not the edible kind, the pin-up artistic kind. But yes, this piece started out when Logan suggest a hawt Orea drawing as a warm-up sketch, the original suggestion was Orea in a bikini, but psht, Orea, nor any barbarian, would never wear one. But what would barbarian swim wear look like? Damn near nothing ;3.


Kyler, being a druid, lent herself to being the subject of some awesome nature manipulation spells, the most useless being topiary. An hour of watching the list of everything Logan rolled up in We Love Katamari, she finally rolled up a Topiary Elephant and I was all "WOAH THATS AWESOME!" and flashed back to the old 3.5e druid spell "Shape Nature", combining the two, you get awesomely useless topiary skills.


Acton, being another barbarian, but of her own tribe, has a different fighting style than Orea's bastard sword of total rape, Acton uses two broad daggers in more of a dance-like, elusive, charge that mimics a fox's trickery, each dagger, a fang, and like the arctic fox, Acton doesn't need to see her prey, she just needs to hear it and she can pinpoint its exact location through snow, sand, stone or wood.

I freakin' love Viva Pinata. Nuff' said.

Considered giving Orea an eye patch, mostly to signify her blind rage, her barbaric rage, but then her face became too crowded so I opted out of it.

B.Steam

B.Steam.

B.Steam is Jessa and My's "adopted daughter", or at least, that's what we call her. Originally she was my idea when I had artist's block and Jessa was giving me new things I've never drawn to get me started, this was followed by a bunch of reference pictures of burlesque dancers, and seeing as that is out of my circles of knowledge, I had to combine it with something I was a bit more familiar, and went with a more steampunk edge, hence the top hat and pocket watch. After the initial drawing, Jessa seemed to love the character, and I just let her have the IP for it, and she didn't mind taking it, then she tweaked her a bit more and said we should share her as she is now a creation of both of ours. My verision of her is black and white, monochromatic with the splash of orange-red for her hair. Jessa's verision is done in sepia, still keeping some color, but we always do that. My Orea has a purple bandana and black shirt, her Orea has an orange bandana and a white shirt, her Acton has streamlined wings, my Acton has bone wings. Personality wise, she's a mix of The Warden from Superjail, Mad Mod from Teen Titans the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, an illusionist and deceiver extraordinaire.
