Yea, that's me. ^_^ Like quite a few people on Althanas, I'm an artist, and although I'm not as good as some (Ciel makes me so jealous), I have a pretty fair hand when it comes to drawing. And, like so many here, I decided to lend my skills and draw up some character sketches for those interested in my work. For the most part, I work with pencils, as I like the control and the detail I can achieve with them. I also work a bit with charcoal, watercolor, ink, and, when possible, computer programs such as Photoshop and Correl Painter.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of materials and an even greater lack of money, I am not able to work in color. All my expensive art supplies were destroyed two years back, along with my computer with all my nifty art programs and all associated disks. After all that time, I still don't have the funds to obtain much more than some graphite pencils, which just sucks. (Bills and all...) So, until I can get the supplies that I need, if you want a drawing from me it will have to be old black and white. Or, rather, gray and white... Pencils, you know.
For those interested, I am best at drawing women, animals, dragons, weres, and furs. However, I can draw most anything, it just takes a little longer than usual. However, I can't draw things like vehicles, buildings, etc., very well. If it's not organic, I just can't render it. *Shrug*
Examples
Here are a few examples of my work. Keep in mind that all this is very old, with the newest one having been drawn about four months ago, and before that the newest was done in '05. However, I will add a few new works here soon. I just have to go through my sketches and decide which ones I can bare showing to the rest of you without embarrassing myself.
Sketches
The Kneeling Woman (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/FallingLikeRain/KneelingWoman.jpg)
An attempt at a different style of drawing that I eventually adopted as my standard. A color version of this exists somewhere, but I can't find it... It saddens me. She's so pretty in blue.
Squirrely (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/FallingLikeRain/FursonaMe.jpg)
Me as a furry squirrel. Don't ask... >_> My step-daughter is forever telling me I look like one. So here I am as a fur. Don't mind the hands, which are a bit retarded.
Feathers and Leather (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/FallingLikeRain/FeathersAndLeather.jpg)
And very little of either. I love this chick. ^^ Don't mind all the blue blurriness. This is the original sketch on notebook paper, which suffered mild damage when my house was flooded. I'm amazed it's in such good quality.
Earth Dragon (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/FallingLikeRain/EarthDragon.jpg)
Because I adore dragons, and this one came out great. I just never got around to finishing him...
Graphite
Uhh...err? (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/FallingLikeRain/PoliticalBurden.jpg)
I don't know what this thing is, but, no, it is most definitely not Watto from Star Wars Episode I. I just draw things like this, starting from the eyes and moving outward. I have pages upon pages of odd creatures like it.
Bondage (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/FallingLikeRain/Bondage.jpg)
My most hit drawing on DeviantArt. Post a drawing of a half naked woman, and I guess that's what you get. So, with that in mind, if you're underage or don't like nudity, don't look at this one. If you do, then enjoy! xD
Colored Pencil
Red Dragon (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/FallingLikeRain/RedDragon.png)
I told you I love dragons. Don't mind the anatomy on this fella, I know it's terrible. It was just a test to see how my colored pencils worked. They were quite an investment, one that I no longer possess, which is sad.
Weres and Water (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/FallingLikeRain/Mates.png)
yet another original title... I have a love for werewolves, and for Christy Grandjean art, and this is a tribute to both.
Horde Dragon (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/FallingLikeRain/HordeDragon.png)
The last dragon, I promise. I just love him. ^_^ This is probably my best work thus far.
Orders
For the moment, I'm just collecting orders and putting them on a list. When I come to a name, I'll PM the person and asks for specifics, such as the character to be drawn, gender, dimensions, pose, etc. If you have references available to help me along (I'm a very visual person and pictures often help me get an idea as to what you want), I'll ask you to gather those up and include them so that I can best depict your character.
I should be able to begin work on the drawings sometime on Monday. I know I said tomorrow (Friday), originally, but I just had this spur of the moment commission slapped on me, and it has to be done ASAP. Sorry folks, but it's for a friend who suddenly decided he must have a tattoo of Anubis on his leg, and far be it from me to deny him when he's flaunting some cash in my face. I'm such a whore, I know. xD
Edit: Actually, I got the picture done within two hours, a rarity for me. So, I'm going to start work on the list. ^_^
Currently working on the drawing for Artifex Felicis.
Those waiting:
Atzar Kellon (Zirkan and Ennai)
Kially Gaith
Covus MacCallum (the Blazen Dragon)
Seraphima
