A New Drawing of Elhiroth


Click here to enlarge.

As you may know, Elhiroth is one of my favorite original characters, both because of his design and his story. I still think it's unfortunate that I was unable to get very far on my old graphic novel project, Covenant. I'm still fond of the story and the characters. Maybe someday I will be able to return to it again. In the meantime, I can still make art of my favorite spirit-servant. :)

For those who are interested, here is the original sketch and vector illustration that led to the final work:

Miku - 180 degree turn (animation)

This little animation is the first two cuts of the introductory scene of Append7, which will serve as a teaser of sorts to get people curious (as well as draw people to my auditions, which I will talk more about later). But although I don't plan to release the clip to the general public (ie. youtube, etc) until it is finished, I just had to show this off to my blog visitors!

Despite it being short, I can't help but be proud of this animation. After all, I took a 2d vector model and made her appear to do a 180 degree turn in space. What do you all think? Comments and critiques desired.

Vector Model - Rebekah

I'm continuing work on making all the MousePaw characters into vector models, and next is Rebekah the turtle. I'm getting faster at making these things, I think :3
-
I'm also doing a bit of animation for Append7 and will be animating these guys too now that the scripts are ready. Hopefully I'll have showable animations soon.

One-Wing & Flutter

Likely you've noticed One-Wing's Gallery has a new banner!
-
The art featured is my first step into an entire new way of making art - illustrating with vectors. The drawing was created entirely out of vectors, then taken into photoshop for finishing. So what do you think about the look?? Here is the full drawing:

Personally, I'm pleased with the result and excited to pursue this new style further.

Here is the vector drawing before taken into photoshop:

About the characters featured: Obviously you all know One-Wing, the mascot of this website. But a few of you might recognize her little friend as well. It's Flutter, my own personal character from the MousePaw game series. I would have had to make a vector of her anyway, so why not include her in this new experiment?
-
Comments and critiques welcome. I know that since I'm starting something new, I still have a lot of things to work on, so I'd love to hear what you guys think I could fix. :3

Vector Model - Alicia


Here's another MousePaw Flash Vector - Alicia, the female mouse who stars in Word 4 Word.
-
I also have more Vector Models for Append6 but I'm going to wait and post them all at once, I think. Also, you may notice I got a new template for my blog, but the banner no longer fits very well. Thus, a new banner is in the works as well. And I've started on the animated intro to Append7 as well!! (Then I'll actually explain what it is.) Yup, busy as always. :3

MousePaw - Animated Logo

Here is an animated logo I created that will be played at the beginning of each MousePaw Game.

I think it turned out pretty nice. Also, in the final version, when the whiskers twitch, a little mouse giggle will play.

Cure Moonlight - Fan art

Sometimes I just need to draw something pretty. This time my inspiration was a character design from an anime I've never even seen, Yes Precure! I have to say, most of the character designs from that show look quite brainmelting to say the least, but Cure Moonlight is lovely so I had to try my hand at drawing her.

Hopefully it will let you click to enlarge the pic. Please do if so; the larger version looks even better.
-
Here is a version without the background, which I had to post...because admittedly, I did not draw the background from scratch (I did alter it significantly though). And just for fun, I decided to include the original line-art (that I drew) as well. Who knows, maybe some of my artist friends would like to see if they could color it better? :3
Anyhow, it's back to my Flash projects now. ^.^ Expect more posts soon.

Vector Model - Luke the Mouse


It's time for the first of the MousePaw characters to be converted to an animatable Flash vector for the new set of games coming out this year. Of course, it had to be Luke the Mouse. I think Luke's design converted well to a vector - he didn't lose his fluffiness or character and still is his cuddly little self.
-
Just wait until I start animating him. :3
