Art

Ummm. This stuff goes back to before I had a domain of my own. Old. Ollllllllld. But you can see that, though I still am not great, I've improved a lot. A lot. A lot of the dates aren't quite correct, either; anything with more than two or three pictures under the same date probably was done as a giant scanfest, with pictures from, say, a week to a month beforehand. Just so y'all know.

list/ratha.jpg - 13 July, 02
Ratha character design, one of the minor characters from the comic.

list/mythan.jpg - 13 July, 02
Sketch of Mythan in full costume from the comic.

list/astra.jpg - 12 July, 02
Astra, for my friend Leah. (The main character in her story.) Pretty mediocre, but I like the sahding on her pants.

list/rose.jpg - 11 July, 02
I like this; the half-background thing is riffing off of Nic's style, but worked out well. Her dress is based on my costume from Bye Bye Birdie.

list/panelone.jpg - 6 July, 02
Practice for the comic.

list/panelone2.jpg - 6 July, 02
Same deal.

list/kissy.jpg - 6 July, 02
More comic practice. This is terrible.

list/toosexy.jpg - 24 June, 02
Ilyan Kelanister sketch. Utter crap.

list/breensitting.jpg - 24 June, 02
More playing around with Breena. It's not really what she looks like, but I like her dress.

list/arantbuff.jpg - 24 June, 02
I was reading tutorials about how to draw gusy, and drew Arant so he actually looks male. This isn't great, but I like it anyway.

list/eviltwin.jpg - 18 June, 02
Finally, a decent fan art for Boffo. I like this a lot. The lyrics are They Might Be Giants.

list/arantinfo.jpg - 18 June, 02
A crappy sketch of Arant with character information. Preperation for the comic, of course.

list/arantsheet.jpg - 18 June, 02
Arant's character sheet.

list/kaiyainfo.jpg - 18 June, 02
Kaiya's design from the beginning of the comic.

list/blehdaev.jpg - 18 June, 02
Character design for Daevan. I like the body, but the face is all wrong. Not Daevan at all...

list/daevansheet.jpg - 18 June, 02
Daevan charactersheet. It's sad that these look more like him than the larger one above.

list/mercy.jpg - 18 June, 02
Mercy's character design. It's.... Decent. Mostly.

list/myrcasheet.jpg - 18 June, 02
Mercy's character sheet. I was very lazy by this point, so it's good that from the back, she's just hair and a cape.

list/kaininfo.jpg - 18 June, 02
Kain Erias, one of the other badguys from the comic.

list/anniversary.jpg - 13 June, 02
A sketch of my parents from their wedding album. I did it for their anniversary. I like it a lot; Dad looks a lot better than Mom does, which surprised me a lot.

list/arantcolor.jpg - 13 June, 02
A finished picture! No way! ... It's Arant and his broadsword. I like it a lot.

list/kieris.jpg - 11 June, 02
Very sketchy Kieris Alayrin from the Saga.

list/kaiyasword.jpg - 11 June, 02
Kaiya, with Arant's giant broadsword. A decent but not great sketch.

list/crouch.jpg - 11 June, 02
Arant crouching. I like the upper body, but the legs are really funky.

list/cleanereric.jpg - 5 June, 02
Eric Donnely, cleaned up from an earlier version (below).

list/felix.jpg - 5 June, 02
Very sketchy Felix Ashkay from The Lads.

saga image - 5 June, 02
A finished picture, computer colored and done for the Saga gallery.

list/crucifiction.jpg - 5 June, 02
Cleran is Jesus, doncha' know.

list/spoiler.jpg - 4 June, 02
Saga spoiler, featuring young Jall, Kalin and Erra. One of the only group pictures I've drawn, the only one I like.

list/islanacolor.jpg - 4 June, 02
Islana Kelanister, colored. Not bad, given I haven't colored anything in, um, a long time...

list/ouroborous.jpg - 31 May, 02
"Ouroboros Inc. Artificial Person." Um... I have no explanation, except Ouroboros was from Red Dwarf and there were ads for AI on every five seconds.

list/breena.jpg - 31 May, 02
Breena Mystarin. She rules. She's the Empress of Everything, you know... I was trying to play around with her costume and whatnot, and I really like the results.

list/archer.jpg - 30 May, 02
Archer goofing off. His costume is way wrong, because I'd forgotten what it is... Hm. Perhaps I should give Silver some luvin'.

list/archer2.jpg - 30 May, 02
Same deal.

list/karanew.jpg - 29 May, 02
Kara das'Abbyn, kicking ass. I really like this; I know it's not perfect, but it's one of my only ever attempts to draw a person, y'know, doing something. Oh, and the quote is from Dragonheart.

list/kaiyahebrew.jpg - 28 May, 02
Faceshot of Kaiya. Not great; not that bad. Good practice, I guess....

list/hands.jpg - 28 May, 02
Practice drawing hands, because I always sucked so very badly. It actually helped a bit, which was good.

list/lousy1.jpg - 28 May, 02 (one of three)
Gen from the Lads. I really like the way her face turned out; the rest is ok.

list/lousy2.jpg - 28 May, 02 (two of three)
Greta from the Lads. Nothing to brag about here, though I like her hairstyle. Um. And not just because I wear mine like that all the time...

list/lousy3.jpg - 28 May, 02 (three of three)
Jolene from the Lads. Completely unfinished, because I have a very short attention span.

list/cleran.jpg - 28 May, 02
Cleran! I really like this, actually. Though I tried to computer color it, and learned that while black-on-black may look sexy, it's a bitch and a half to actually color.

list/islana.jpg - 21 May, 02
Islana sketch, which I later finished up. I like the pose ok, but it isn't really anything great.

list/angel1.jpg - 7 May, 02 (one of four)
Slenna Malistar, Angel of Mercy, semi-SD'd. I think it's cute... I believe this was drawn in my American Studies notes.

list/angel2.jpg - 7 May, 02 (two of four)
Ilyan Kelanister, Angel of Sacrifice; same deal, but less cute.

list/angel3.jpg - 7 May, 02 (three of four)
Islan, Angel of Freedom. I haven't decided what he looks like yet, so this may not end up being at all accurate.

list/angel4.jpg - 7 May, 02 (four of four)
Kalin Malistar, Angel of Peace. Cuuuuuuuuute!

list/present.jpg - 14 April, 02
Fanart of Ari, for Nic's birthday. Originally I was going to color the background part too, but it looked asstastic, so I decided not to. But I really like the way the colored bit turned out.

list/breenacolor.jpg - 7 April, 02
Breena Mystarin, though not really accurate. I wanted to try and draw/computer color a pretty dress, which I did. I like the way it turned out a lot, except for her hands.

list/cutehair.jpg - 20 March, 02
Self-portrait, done as a means of procrastination, I believe. The lyrics are by Sloan, who I love... I like the way the body and hair on this turned out (hence the filename) though I'm not thrilled with the face.

list/list/aranthebrew.jpg - 19 March, 02
Arant dal'Rhybka, again from my American Studies notes. I like the pose here, and was playing around with his costume.

list/daydream.jpg - 12 March, 02
Cleran doodle in my notes, nothing special.

list/arant.jpg - 12 March, 02
My first real attempt to draw Arant and play around with his costume.

list/sundancer.jpg - 8 March, 02
You guessed it, Amercian Studies notes! I really liked the way this turned out, given it was just a random doodle.

list/helpme.jpg - 8 March, 02
Islana, a bit insane with lyrics and whatnot....

list/quin.jpg - 26 Feb, 02
Quin, from my Nanonovel. I like this, it's pretty much exactly how I pictured him.

list/angelkalin.jpg - 26 February, 02
I think this was my first ever attempt to draw Kalin as an angel. Not great, but good practice, I s'pose.

list/kaiyablue.jpg - 15 February, 02
At some point around then, my art actually started to take a step forward in quality, and I also started to get the hang of computer coloring things a bit. I like this. Kaiya rules.

list/ilyan.jpg - 15 February, 02
Ilyan, done at the same time as the Kaiya one. Not as good, though, but not too bad.

list/kaia.jpg - 13 February, 02
The sketch which lead to the finished version. I really like this.

list/ilyansketch.jpg - 13 February, 02
Surprise, surprise; the sketch of the Ilyan picture. It's pretty good, I think. Possibly better than the finished version.

list/dance.jpg - 13 February, 02
Hopefully, you all recognize the picture at the left, though this is the full version. Islana and Cleran. Islana turned out really well; Cleran turned out badly.

list/charactersheet.jpg - 13 February, 02
Finalizing Kaiya's costume. I have no idea why it's so blurry.

list/aran.jpg - 10 January, 02
Aran Sevens. One of my early, early attempts to computer color. Pretty good result; definitely good practice.

list/juriah.jpg - 10 January, 02
Juriah Eshton... I like this. A lot. Mmmm, Juriah... He may be full of himself and a bit dumb, but he's hot.

list/eloria.jpg - 6 January, 02
A very, very vague map of Eloria, the world from which Aran and Juriah come.

list/sevencolor.jpg - 6 January, 02
The handcolored version of Aran and Juriah. It's ok, I think.

list/aiden.jpg -6 January, 02
Aiden was from a story Leah and I were going to write, that never got off the ground, really. But he was fun, by which I mean, he was the badass. His head's too big, but I like the pose.

list/jain.jpg - 5 January, 02
Jain from a comic book Sarah and I have been planning since eleventh grade. I got bored and never finished coloring it, and can't draw guns. Or hands. But yes, Jain is that fucked up.

list/smallslenna.jpg - 4 January, 02
Even earlier computer coloring attempt. Pretty bad, but it could have been worse... One of my better attempts at a profile.

haven/list/seven.jpg - 3 January, 02
Yes, this picture again. Or rather, before. The inked but not colored version.

list/nolegs.jpg - 31 December, 01
Raduriel, fanart for Elfgirl. Ummmm... Bad. Yeah, that's it. Sorry, Elfgirl...

list/kieme.jpg - 31 December, 01
Faceshot practice, this time Kieme, fanart for Ocean of Dreams.

(Note: I did draw during this long, missing period, but it ended up elsewhere... I shall eventually transport it, maybe, but it was mostly notes and scribbles and whatnot in my Journalism/International Relations notes first semester, and nothing terribly interesting. What there is, is here for now.)

list/imageback.jpg - 14 August, 01
My first attempt to draw a shot from behind. Um... I'm not sure Image should wear low rise pants. (Her name is Image, she is, more or less, my inner monologue. Sort of.)

list/ducky.jpg - 14 August, 01
Not good at all fanart for Purple Duck Mambo, which appears to be defunct now. Awww.

list/ariangel.jpg - 14 August, 01
Fanart of Ari, for Nic. Again, one of my better profiles, and I really like the coloring.

list/dei.jpg - 12 August, 01
Fanart of Dei, for Elfgirl. Mmmm... Dei. Ok picture, but not really great. (I swear, someday I'm going to do a picture for Elfgirl that doesn't suck...)

list/kattail.jpg - 6 August, 01
More fanart for Nic; this time of Kat. I like how it turned out.

list/pollysketches.jpg - 5 August, 01
Quick (and I mean really quick) sketches of Polly, from when I was debating doing a Wierdos comic.

list/itsysketches.jpg -5 August, 01
Same deal with Itsy, though these turned out a little better.

list/islanasketch.jpg - 5 August, 01
Islana kneeling. I like the way this turned out, actually, though the feet are weird.

list/GLpolly.jpg - 5 August, 01
Polly as the Green Lantern. I really can't explain why.

list/batmanitsy.jpg - 5 August, 01
Itsy and Batman. Not Batgirl. Batman. Um. Yeah...

comic_1.jpg / comic_2.jpg / comic_3.jpg / comic_4.jpg - 5 August, 01
The actual comic, though largely illegible. It makes me giggle, but doesn't really make any sense.

list/imagecolor.jpg - 13 July, 01
Image, colored. I like the way this turned out a lot, actually; I know it's not perfect, but it's not bad. Especially for being almost a year old.

list/king.jpg - 9 July, 01
Erra Kelanister, in his mid-sixties, as a bitter old man. Oh, and the King of Kalatsu. I like this, the pose turned out well. One of the few times I've ever drawn someone sitting, and one of the fewer times it didn't suck.

list/jarmee.jpg - 9 July, 01
Jarmee, blatantly ripped from Nic's early style. Sorry, Nic... The picture itself is ok, though.

list/itsy.jpg - 9 July, 01
Itsy snoozing. I like this, actually, another attempt at someone sitting and an actual chair. Heh.

list/imagespidergirl.jpg - 9 July, 01
The sketch of Image. Like the finished picture, it's pretty good, and I was really really happy with it at the time.

list/gabby.jpg - 29 June, 01
Gabby, a bit character from the Lads, dressed completely wrong. But I like it. The totally illegible lyrics are from The Kids' Song by Moxy Fruvous.

list/nuitsdereve.jpg - 28 June, 01
Fanart of Reve for Lyn. Ok picture; again, Lyrics are by Fruvous.

list/dancer2.jpg - 28 June, 01
I'm not sure who this was; it was my second attempt to draw her, and it was pretty bad. As you can see.

list/ariallstars.jpg - 28 June, 01
Aaaaaugh, ugly ugly UGLY.....

list/ariwings.jpg - 28 June, 01
...But this one is pretty. More Ari fanart, of course.

list/reading.jpg - 5 May, 01
Punk boy. Cute, I guess... Around the time I actually started playing with poses and purposely experimenting and trying to improve.

list/kara.jpg - 5 May, 01
Kara... I know it's not a great picture, but for some reason I like it anyway.

list/dancer.jpg - 5 May, 01
Very light and hard to see, but I still think this is good, proportion wise. I remember being ecstatic about it at the time. And with good reason, I mean, you SEE some of the crap back here?

list/bad.jpg - 5 May, 01
...Speaking of crap. Image, dressed more like me, but looking retarded.

list/30days.jpg - 5 May, 01
Image again, just a quick doodle I did in my econ class a month before graduating from high school.

list/summerari.jpg - 4 May, 01
Again, I say, "Ugly!"

list/daevan.jpg - 2 November, 00
I know I used a Rurouni Kenshin card as a model for this, and I kind of like the coloring (it amuses me that he has bell bottoms, for some reason) but the head is so tiny... Eeep. Sorry, Daev. Oh, and the thing in the corner is a tattoo he has, though I'm not sure where. Snerk.

list/kaiya.jpg - 2 November, 00
My first attempt at drawing Kaiya, before I knew what she really looked like. I may have used another RK card for this, I'm not sure. But eeep, the arm is bad....

list/kaiya2.jpg - 2 November, 00
Another attempt at Kaiya. Again, I'm not sure if an RK card was used. Um, I messed up the coloring a bit, and she appears to have fangs...

list/curly.jpg - 2 November, 00
A quick doodle I did for Kirryn back in the day. Waaaay back. Like, first semester senior year. Not in any way good, but it was fun.

list/journalchick.jpg - 2 November, 00
Drawn on the (blue) cover of my journal for my psycho writing class. Which was evil. But she liked the picture more than any of my writing...

list/mikesketch2.jpg - 5 October, 00
Mike Ford of Moxy Fruvous fame. The picture is ok, and was copied off of a picture I took at Grapejam that summer.

list/jiansketch.jpg - summer '00
Probably the first "good," thing I drew, though it's from later than the other undated stuff, I believe. I drew this from a picture I took at Grapejam, while pissed at my parents, I believe. Ahh, angst.

list/sunset.jpg - summer '99
This was actually drawn the summer before, and inspired by the pretty sunsets over Lake Champlain. Possibly drawn at camp. I'm not sure.

list/haven.jpg - summer '99
I'm also sure this one was drawn at camp, as it's the cabin I was in. Sort of. Also, the cabin was named Haven, and is where the page gets its name from.

list/hipchick.jpg - summer '99
Drawn out of a catalog, if I remember right. This is actually an old character of mine, from a fanfic. But that's all I'm saying, though super bonus points to anyone who guesses who it is.

list/roses.jpg - summer '99
Pretty. I guess.
