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.
