Demo Reel Sneak Preview - Animated Chibis!

Well I'm still working away on my demo reel but I thought I'd show you guys a little piece of it. These five flash animations loop in the corner of the screen as other art of the character climbs up the page. They're really short but they are designed to play over and over and over again. :3 -

So anyhow, they're kind of cute :3 Enjoy.

One-Wing:

Elhiroth:

Moon Dancer & Dusk:

Falling Leaves:

Ruka & Ryru:

"Moonlit Dance" - Flash Animation

At last, at last!
Although this clip is only 30 seconds, it represents a long time of diligent work - I've spent about 2-6 hours a week on this thing since December, and now here it is.

It was worth the effort for sure. However short it may be, the animation really is my best - I also love to see my two characters, Moon Dancer and Dusk, come to life on the screen.

The animation isn't top-notch yet; I haven't added the inbetweens which would make the motion more fluid. Likely, I will do that in time. The reason I haven't yet is because the due date for submittions to the DMA (Digital Media Arts) showcase was today and I really wanted to show this. :)

I am so glad I finally have an example of good animation to actually show what I can do. I hope you all enjoy this cute little clip.

Chibi Falling Leaves

Who saw this coming?!
Yes... Falling Leaves has now been chibi-fied. But that's not all. I decided to add her to my character artbook last minute after all! However, such a decision was not without a casualty... because it meant someone else had to go. And so...

Poor Analise. But it had to be done. And here's one more pic:

I decided to pose Falling Leaves and Moon Dancer together to serve as a little preview for my just about finished novel, Moon Dancer II, in which both women play key roles. (As you can tell, they don't get along the best.)

Final Two Chibis (for a while)

Here we have two more little mini-characters made in flash, which will make appearances in my character-art book.
-
Not shockingly, of course, the first one is One-Wing herself...
Hm, who is this one though? Not sure I know who this character is... though upon close inspection... is that a plushie of Miku Hatsune she's holding...? Hmmmm...
-
Anyhow, that's the end of the chibis for awhile, though I might make some more just for fun. And I will be posing/animating these guys eventually too. But they take a long time to build!

Book Cover Complete!

In case you all forgot why I was making those chibis...
My cover is done at last! And I'm really excited about how it turned out. I managed to have all the characters on the cover that I plan to feature art & bios in my book. What do you think?
-
I still have two more chibis to come though. And other art to show! Please visit again soon.

Chibi Ruka and Ryru

To join the rest of my little chibi collection, here is another pair, Ruka Jojiiky from G6 and her gender-swapped version, Ryru Jojiika from Covenant.
Ruka by herself - cutesy but naughty.
And Ryru looking like a little imp.
-
Yes, these two don't have nearly as cute of eyes as my other chibis, but this is intentional. Ruka and Ryru are both vessels of the "Unholy" and always have quite creepy eyes.
They're still cute in their own ways though, I think. :3
-
I love how these chibis exhibit just how alike and yet different these two are. They have the same eyes, similar hair, and same mischevious grin... and yet Ruka is all cutesy-cutesy in her frills and ribbons, while Ryru is much more masculine.
-
It is also fun to compare these little guys to other drawings I've done of these characters:

-
Now that all 6 chibis for my cover are done, I will add them to that image and then post the finished cover here! But I have 2 more chibis coming your way also... 1 is One-Wing, and the other is a mystery! Keep watching for these.

Chibi Moon Dancer and Dusk

Aw, itty bitty wolfies Moon Dancer & Dusk are dancing the night away. Don't you wish you could join them?
-
In a way, you can! The new, fully revised novel Moon Dancer is now completed in pdf form! Email me at elusive.dreams@yahoo.com to be one of the first to preview the 337-page novel before it is sent to be published. (See my previous posts labeled "Moon Dancer" for a synopsis of the plot.)
-
Also, a secret... I may or may not have begun a new novel which may or may not be the sequel... ^__^

Chibi Analise

Here's another mini-character for my portfolio. This one is a character you should all know if you read Covenant - our heroine, young Analise Helkiah in her combat attire. And she's looking way cute of course!
-
Here she is with Chibi Elhiroth. Awww. I kind of want to hug them.

Chibi Elhiroth!

As I mentioned before, I have been working on making little "chibi" versions of a few of my characters on Flash, based on the style that I designed Rose from "Rose's Debut." (Click on the "animation" tag to find this post.)
-
And the first one is done! Awwwww isn't Little Elhiroth so cute?? I think so.
-
If anyone is curious, here are the other characters that are going to be chibi-fied:
+ Analise (Covenant)
+ Moon Dancer (Moon Dancer)
+ Dusk (Moon Dancer)
+ Ruka (G6)
+ Ryru (Covenant)
and of course, One-Wing. ;3

Also, these little guys are totally animate-able, as you can see from this little clip here:

Love them? Well, if not, I do anyway. ^__^
