Photoshopped Drawings

Alright, here is a post of what I would consider some of my more presentable work, drawings which I've scanned in to photoshop and edited up to the best of my ability. I'm not too great at photoshop but I'd say I'm getting better overtime. Hopefully I'll be able to produce some high-quality images in the near future. But for now, here are some of my works:
This one is Caelynn Thistlewood, a character from my novel "Black Thread" which, unfortunately, I've abandoned - though my upcoming graphic novel "Covenant" is kind of a prequel of sorts.
This is probably the very first photoshopped image I was ever proud of. I especially love how perfect her eyes turned out.
You would never guess the beneath this cutie is quite a devious, deceptive little villainess... :)



This is a wallpaper I made for "Black Thread" - no, I did not draw the forest/moon background. Again, one of my very first photoshopped images so I was still experimenting a lot. I am embarassed to say I spent a long, long time just trying to get Vance's face right...because I really wanted to express his character.
The character depicted here is inspired from the assassin class from the online trading card game I play (Ederon). One of my better works. I created the background myself as well and I love how it complements the drawing itself - usually I am bad at that!

I admit it...I am pretty much a sucker for drawing couples. It is truly my favorite thing to draw. Here I've depicted a male partner for my muse... kind of sappy, I know. Anyhow, I forgot to make a black layer above the original inked lines so the line quality is not too impressive. Overall, it's not bad, but it could have been better.

Last image for today. Here is a rare moment where I depict characters that actually were not made up by me. These are the character mascots from Vocaloid, the electronic voice software from Yamaha. Each of them have been so embraced by fans that they now have their own personalities, etc, and I've become somewhat attached to them so I attempted to depict them myself.
The characters are Miku Hatsune, Kaito, Rin Kagamine, Len Kagamine, Luka Megurine, and Gakupo Kamui.
This one was just kind of fun. I like trying to fit together multiple characters in a scene where they all look good together. I kind of wish it was easier to tell that Rin and Len were holding hands, though. With Luka and Gakupo behind them, it kind of draws away from it. Anyhow, yay Vocaloid!

One more thing to say: I have not yet posted my very favorite photoshopped image. Why? Because it is the cover of my upcoming graphic novel/manga, Covenant, which I'm really excited about debuting soon. (Debuting? Is that a word?) Anyhow, that image will be posted the day the first chapter is finally up! Exciting! Stay tuned for that.

And thanks to all who have come to visit my blog so far! It is encouraging to see that people actually care to see what I do. And perhaps even people who don't know me will come visit - that would be awesome too. :)

Edit: Apparently, some of these pics can't be enlarged when you click on them, so I'm re-posting a few of them here:
