I was watching a documentary called "Der taumelnde Kontinent" (the staggering continent) on German television, which was showing how people in spent their final few weeks before the outbreak of WWI.
Even though the storm was already coming, clear for almost anyone to see, still the party went on...until the horrible awakening.
This was the longest work I have ever done. That Picture is also slightly larger in size than what I normally do (the original is A3 size) and it took me almost 9 months to finish (with interruptions, of course). The medium is pencil, as usual, and I decided against the use of any coloring or other digital stuff on this. Just old School paper and pencil.
RIP to all those innoncent people who lost their lives, loved ones, youth or / and sanity during this horrifiying War.]]>Princess Zelda Nouveau by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:00c5847f-8e6b-eeb5-49e5-e1966b505e5f2013-09-17T03:00:39-07:00Video Game: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Character: Princess Zelda, Sheik, Link, and Ganondorf Medium: Pencil, paper, photoshop Time Taken: 14 hours
Holy crap, I finally have artwork to submit. O_O It's only been forever. Ha ha! Anyway I actually wasn't going to do as much with this drawing as I did... but it just kept growing. Originally it was just Zelda posing with her sword, but then idea after idea kept coming and well here we are. I have never attempted a nouveau drawing before... so I have to admit I wasn't really sure where to start, but I came up with a design and stuck with it. I think I might even do one for Link and Ganon as well, that might be fun!]]>Air: Aang by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:074cef7b-de29-6c2b-bb92-d9e04ea76e7c2012-08-19T16:07:37-07:00Series: Avatar the Last Airbender
Character: Aang
Medium: Pencil, paper, photoshop
Time Taken: 6-8 hours
Oh look, another drawing!! I have to admit I am surprised it took me this long to submit some Avatar fanart... It's one of my favorite shows! So I decides I would start by following the Avatar cycle. Expect to see a Water: Katara next!
I actually had a difficult time coming up with a pose for Aang. I guess Air isn't my element. I really wanted a swirling motion to illustrate the Airbending style. I finally settled on on this post though. I also wanted to experiment with color a bit on this one. I chose a blue background and I thought it might be neat to have orange and yellow near the base of the tornado, as if Aang were moving so fast he was a blur.
Enjoy!]]>Shadows of the Temple by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:2ffaaf5e-7b13-1693-97ba-f25a1b8e3d142012-08-05T14:42:17-07:00Holy crap! Is this a drawing?? Why yes it is!
Series: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
Character: Link, Navi, & some Wolfos.
This piece belongs with the other two Zelda pieces I added forever ago. Now I have done one of each of the three tunics! Yays! Now what will I do. :P
Actually, this piece was an experiment for me. I wanted to try and make a picture that was done fast (well faster than I usually color) but still have the amount of quality I require from myself. I was faster for sure, and I am very pleased with the overall result. I do feel though that with practice I can do much better and be much faster.
So hopefully this will be the first of many new drawings to come. I hope you enjoy.]]>ORC'IDEE 2011 by Kateurn:uuid:18de62dd-06a6-f816-f33d-32b42086db2b2011-10-19T20:12:30-07:00"ORC'IDÉE 2011"
A poster I designed for a Swiss RPG Fair called "ORC'IDÉE". This edition was called "The twelve teeth of midnight" (there is a pun between "crocs" = “animal teeth” and "coups"= "clock strikes", --> French is fun, isn't it?) with a lot of horror RPGs...Including vampires, werewolves, witches and...my favorite baddie: Jack the Ripper!
WO-HOO!]]>Beast of the Inferno by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:a25a4619-765d-589b-822c-b6900e79cb372011-03-13T21:09:33-07:00From: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Characters: Link & Lizalfos
Used: Pen & Paper, and Photoshop CS3
Time Taken: 20 - 30hours (I blame the lava....)
Okay so I decided I wanted to do a set of three pictures, with the color themed after Link's other tunics. Obviously, this is the red one. :P I decided I wanted to have Link fighting a lizalfos with a lava fall in the background. Big mistake there, the lava probably took more time than anything else on the picture. It's good experience though right?
I tried a few new techniques on the lizalfos' skin and I was pretty pleased with the result. I will have to remember it if I ever draw more of them. I also noticed that there are very few references for lizalfos, so I changed the design slightly. I think he actually came out looking pretty scary!]]>Waiting for You by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:a2c7225b-6082-a58c-76c7-aaa37b6dea132011-02-28T16:53:32-08:00From: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Yay another weekly challenge out on time. This one was a lot of fun for me, I found myself having a tough time pulling away from it. Shadow Link is one of my favorite bosses, too bad the poor guy is stuck in the most dreadful dungeons in the entire game. :P
I actually had the idea for this picture a few years ago but I never drew it because I was pretty uncomfortable with drawing perspective. I still am a little nervous about making it accurate, but I am better than I used to be. I also feel like you don't improve if you don't challenge yourself.
I did a lot of research on water texture and actually just ended up drawing my own. It was helpful to have them as a reference though.]]>Ordon Link by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:3374330b-106c-3767-8678-95d1fb5bdd612011-02-23T22:28:43-08:00From: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Time Taken: 10 hours
Ah ha! I am getting faster! This picture was commissioned/requested by a good friend of mine. And he better like it. :P Just teasing.
So there was a bit of a discussion on this picture as to how the baby goat should look. It was difficult to decide if the goat should have horns that connected or horns at all. Eventually we decided that the horns would be connected, just smaller than the adult.
The background was actually pretty fun and I did more on it than I originally planned. I turned on Twilight Princess and used a nice spot on the game for a reference.]]>Find Your Way by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:0591fc2d-50a9-634e-047c-dd17000826302011-02-16T22:59:26-08:00From: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess/Super Smash Bros Brawl
Characters: Sheik
Used: Pen & Paper, and Photoshop CS3
Time Taken: 20 - 30hours
Well here is the picture for this week. It actually took me a lot longer than I had planned on, mainly because Sheik's outfit is very complicated. The background didn't take nearly as long as i thought it would. I tried some new techniques using different brushes for the stone. It seemed to save a little bit of time and still looks pretty good.
I was very sad to see that Sheik did not make an appearance in Twilight Princess, which is too bad too, I could so see Sheik leaping from the towers of Hyrule Castle, ready to kick some butt! I went back and forth on whether or not the squares should be in the picture. It is the Twilight Relm, but the squares stuck out too much the way I originally had them, so I blended them into the background a little more and it seemed to work much better.]]>Hyrule's Legend by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:f5f08849-ff73-7b11-da4b-d2ce5cfb255b2011-02-08T01:35:55-08:00From: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

I actually drew this picture years ago when I was in a digital art class in college. I found it a few days ago and thought it looked pretty good for an older drawing and decided to color it. I also decided that I was going to give myself a weekly challenge to draw and color at least one thing a week, so here is the start of that challenge. :P
One of the reasons I am trying to challenge myself is most of my digital drawings take too long. I am trying to learn how to color faster. I still do all the textures myself and I need to find more efficient ways of creating the same effect. With this picture I didn't try any new techniques than any of my other digital drawings, but hopefully now that I have started this challenge, I will come up with new techniques.]]>Lily's Grove by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:4aefd180-5b70-1f23-dd0d-638918e6a9cc2010-11-09T20:16:22-08:00Hey I am getting better! It didn't take me a year to finish this one. :P
So for starters, I am very pleased with this one. It's actually going to be for someone else, but I was so proud of the final piece I wanted to post it. Because this was for someone else, I really pushed my skills to the limits (and my computer too!!). I have been working on this for about a month now... I was actually about halfway finished with this and went back to work on it to find that the file had been corrupted, which meant a week's worth of work was lost. But I managed to make all that up in four days. Not bad huh? :P
As for inspiration... I guess you could say the person who this belongs to is the inspiration. There is also a little poem I wrote for the piece, but I doubt I will post it here, since no one reads these right?]]>King of Halloween II by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:ac4defd9-7f86-04dd-87e1-e07734caab752010-10-07T19:58:06-07:00Happy Halloween everyone!!! So I actually started this last year and never finished it. I am so bad sometimes.
This was my own original character and this is actually my second time drawing him. The old one is in my gallery somewhere, but it's been a while and I must say, I like the new one much better. :P I kept the design of the character for the most part, but just made a few changes to make him easier to color.
I spent a lot of time (probably too much) on some of the small details, which are sadly a little lost due to the smaller image size. But at least the spider web can still be seen. :P]]>The Promised Pathway by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:bf1f2be7-f082-e96e-9a21-229e5d161c592010-08-11T19:23:23-07:00Anime: Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust
Characters: Meier Link and Charlotte
Okay so it's been a while since I submitted any art. Well I decided to break that cycle. :)
I have been working on this for the passed week now and I am so happy to finally have it finished.
I absolutely love the movie Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust (I am hoping the same director will make another) and I haven't done any artwork from the movie in years. I thought it would be nice to do the cute couple instead of D fan art. now I have to admit, Charlotte was really difficult to draw, but I am so pleased with the end result.
I am also really pleased with the background. I really love the way the stained glass came out. I tried a few new techniques and I think it all worked out really well. Hopefully the next time it won't take me so long. :P]]>Hiyo Osora by Chizuru_chibiurn:uuid:fa4ac5ff-7634-ef34-c256-7b716f3a9a6e2010-02-25T19:17:51-08:00Birthday gift for an old friend :) We used to love this manga, 'Love Monster'.
This is the main character, Hiyo.]]>Anne by Kateurn:uuid:cc4fad38-7990-5720-9ee0-b4e6b7120c9b2010-02-13T01:55:17-08:00Almost a year without drawing…damn, I need some vacation! As I do not have enough time anymore to draw during daytime, I started a new picture between 10.00pm - 3.00am and worked every night for a whole week. ^^
I am not a great fan of “The Tudors” Series, as I think that they take too much liberty with historical facts (sorry, there comes the Historian again ^^). But anyway, I am totally in love with the reconstitutions and, above all, with the period dresses *droooool* - I want one of them…hey, wait…I want ALL of them!]]>Jenny by Kateurn:uuid:bbf921f7-57ab-7d30-0600-39f812a405b02009-10-02T03:29:41-07:00Nothing new - shame, shame…so I decided to upload a picture I did last year.
I'm a huge "OMNIA" fan (a Pagan Folk band from the Netherlands). They have a harpist called Jenny who annoys everybody with her virtuosity.
Well, as I can't play the harp, I tried to draw it. It was my first harp and one of my very few pictures representing real people.]]>Derigo Porcus by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:e40d45de-13c8-467d-0250-41f2d941c5a52009-07-14T16:24:08-07:00This is an assignment I did for my Visual Perception class at Digipen. He's an alien piggy that sniffs out salt deposits for his din-dins :] He has kinda bad eyesight D; but he has killer extra-perceptual skills :D
There is a certain alien race that follow these piggies to the salt deposits because petroleum fields are located near the salt :] Derigo Porcus means "Guide Pig" incidentally... in Latin. How delightfully cheesy, no? ^^]]>Jean De Florette / Manon des Sources (1986) by Kateurn:uuid:f4983b84-5006-c06a-98ce-705e1a15c3702009-02-10T13:20:09-08:00Well, there is something new, a picture that took forever to finish. (as always ^^)
These are scenes from two movies adapted from the novels by French author Marcel Pagnol. They were shown in theatre in 1986, and Gérard Depardieu looks incredibly youg there ^^.
If you have the chance to watch them, GO AHEAD! I think that they have never been translated (I’m not sure about it), but subtitles DO exist :-).
Those very sad movies take place in Provence, Southern France, the first one in the 1910s and the sequel some ten years later. The big deal of the story is the eternal lack of water in those very dry areas…and what people are capable of doing to keep a fresh water spring for themselves. Water is worth killing for.]]>New Year Alucard by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:3da88f2d-cf45-e9c0-5ea7-540f9152595f2008-12-31T15:50:00-08:00Well obviously I am not dead... close to it though. Anyway, Happy New Years everyone!!!
This is actually a late Christmas present for a friend... but I thought it might be nice to share it. :)
I think the most difficult part about this entire thing was the background. I had a hard time trying to figure out a good color for it. Bleh... I think it could use a little improvement but my computer will die if I work on it more. ^ ^ The coat was really fun though... I guess I like flowy fabric. >: D
I hope you all enjoy.
Materials: 8.5 x 11 computer papter, a #2 pencil, Photoshop CS2 and a crap load of patience.]]>I am the Darkness by Papercut_Dragonurn:uuid:ddacf3fe-bd5c-ad32-2475-e54940e5aa5e2008-12-14T20:04:19-08:00I just read all of Yugioh.

A photograph (poor quality, alas) taken at a show in France was used as reference.

Anti-Cosmo: Because if I didn't, I would be blind. Honestly, dear boy, I thought you were the OPPOSITE of Timothy. *snatches monocle back*
wtf I dunno. XD
ONLY REAL MEN DRINK FROM PINK TEA CUPS. ♥
Completed this pic on the morning of 2/18/08, which was the day "Fairly OddBaby" premiered. I just gotta say that pregnant!Cosmo was made of so much win. ROFL Most HILARIOUS thing I have seen lately. XDDDDDDDD His mood swings were like... Laugh. Out. Loud. And the baby was adorable. *will not spoil it any further for those who haven't seen it yet*
Hm. I'm sure Cupid would find this absolutely adorable. He'd want Timmy to be his apprentice in spreading lurves all over the world. =D Put him in a diaper and everything. Maybe a dress, I dunno. wtf is wrong with me
But yeah. I HOPE YOU GUYS HAD A WONDERFUL VALENTINE'S DAY. X333 *hugs everyone* I love you all so much~ ♥
*ARGH!* - I am OBSESSED by this movie! And I normally HATE musicals! Now I keep singing all the time (and NO it did NOT start to rain while I was singing!)
Anyway...I finally finished Mrs. Lovett. She is my favourite character in the movie (Sorry to all you Sweeney Fans - He is very cool, too!).
This picture took a little less time than my usual work, because it is quite dark (the black spaces are not so difficult to do ;-)), even if the details on gloves, pies, dress and the London Street in the Background seemed to take forever.
Enjoy!
Oh, and have a Pie *Gives Pie*]]>Close Fwends by Rikusgurlurn:uuid:f835de21-de9d-625d-b6d0-18eb8c6a55782008-01-27T17:37:26-08:00I never posted this on FAC, just in my LJ. So I thought I should post it here too. :3
This is the reason why I am really happy that I managed to finish this picture right on time for the Swiss release. It was really awful to draw (the details on tapestry, floor, trousers, etc…) and I am still not happy with the result.
Whatever. I hope you like it anyway. ]]>Chidori, Chidori by Papercut_Dragonurn:uuid:4b24566e-c675-794c-244a-45cdc64ea2a22007-12-25T19:39:43-08:00I sort of feel like uploading art. So, here's my latest.
This looks nothing like what I saw in my head. It started off with a lot more birds (but I got lazy), and a lot more simple (the clouds and Kakashi snuck in there . . . . ) and . . . stuff.
I don't even care that much about Sasuke's character. Um. But I end up drawing him, what the heck??
Photoshop, some hours . . .
Oh! And, they're training. That's the post-drawing explanation I came up with. Yup!]]>Elizabeth by Kateurn:uuid:1ac48d0c-9c83-fa00-4f3f-380251e637b82007-11-25T09:15:12-08:00 Well, this might be another of those drawing-phases I have from time to time: Even if I have no more spare time at all, even if I know that I must sleep or eat something, I can’t help drawing and I won’t get to bed or into the kitchen before I have not finished my picture.
I think I need a doc…or a psychiatrist…or both…or neither?
This is a pic I stumbled on as I had a look at the movie posters for upcoming movies in December.
You may have recognized (or at least, I hope you have) Cate Blanchett as Elizabeth, Queen of England.
…I can’t wait to see that movie!!! (loved the first one) ]]>IN MEMORIAM: Tara MacClay by Kateurn:uuid:60d1643d-a2fa-ae58-1cf7-a05dfda6e67e2007-11-15T00:33:38-08:00A new picture for my "IN MEMORIAM" Series. If you do not want to be spoiled, please don't read any further.
It has been a while since my last Buffy picture and this is my first try to draw Tara. She was one of my favourite characters in the series and, of course, she had to die...just like most of my favourite characters do.
...I must be cursed...]]>Yu Yu Hakusho Sketch Dump by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:52d9e8d0-23ef-7554-880d-8c6de005ba0a2007-11-03T09:19:06-07:00Holy poo!

Why is he the blue spirit at all when his hair looks like that? Because! 8D
And where is his other sword anyway? He threw it. Yep... probably at me.
Anyway... it was fun. :3]]>FOP - Stealing Candy by Rikusgurlurn:uuid:4c751878-70c0-dd40-bcf9-bf36e2992bb62007-10-30T18:20:16-07:00Happy Halloween Everyone! X3
Halloween is my FAVOURITE holiday of the entire year. I like it better than Christmas even! X3
This was only a little sketch I started drawing this afternoon, but I ended up liking it a lot, so I coloured it. I should have inked it, but I was being a lazy person. D:
Wouldn't it be cool if Anti-Cosmo and Nega-Timmy went around bothering the hell out of people on Halloween and stole everyone's candy? LOL I could imagine an evil villain having a sugar rush... *laughs madly* I kinda feel sorry for Timmy though. Two reasons: NT is stealing his candy bucket, and I drew ridiculous Jack Skellington arms on him. LOLOL I didn't mean for that to happen... I wish I could have fixed it, but I had already started colouring when I noticed it. *sigh*
Yeah, lots of slash here... and an uber yummy older!Nega-Timmy.
All of these were drawn at school. Hence why they look weird. I can't draw on paper for crap anymore. D: *is a tablet rapist* And you can still see the lines from the paper I drew on. --oh noes!--
Mainly wanted to see what my class doodles looked like coloured. I have to admit, they look MUCH better with colour on them anyway. XD
I was listening to my old Gorillaz CD in my car and thought, "Jezus, when was the last time I've drawn any good Gorillaz fanart. D:" And... I realized that the last time I drew them was when I was 11 years old. >_>;;;
SO I DECIDED TO SIT DOWN AND DRAW AN UBER ADORABLE STU-POT. ♥
I had no reference, but I like the way I drew him here... X3 It took me a little while to figure out how I'd get him to look like 2D. Now if only I can get Murdoc to look right... *grins*
(Photoshop, no reference, half a month, my fav part is the coat in the right hand corner. Yes.)]]>Silent Comedy by Rikusgurlurn:uuid:d29807d2-4d15-6894-bdb2-241c96ae4ec02007-09-24T19:52:58-07:00I was reading through my Animaniacs comics that I bought at AWA, and in the No.4 August issue (w00t 1995! >w< ) the Warner siblings bring back their old-school silent cartoon selves from the 1930s into their present time.
And I thought they were so flippin' awesome. XD
It was hard for me to get a good reference pic of them in the comic, but I managed. n.n Also, I only said "Warner Bros." in the pic because I didn't want to add on "and the Warner sister" 'cause I think "Warner Bros." has always summed up all three of them anyway. Btw, I still suck at drawing Dot. D<
So! Here's some original work! I haven't done a dragon in a reaaaally long time. In fact, for all the dragons I used to draw, I think I have maybe . . . one or two in my gallery? If that. But really, I love drawing dragons, and pretty skies, and I don't like cityscapes that much, but it was actually pretty painless to paint.
This whole picture was a breeze, which is a nice change of pace for me, I think. :)]]>Punk'd! by Papercut_Dragonurn:uuid:18928c4e-738a-a52a-f94c-7ea865b9e1ee2007-09-13T18:05:30-07:00Ok!
Bleach Shinigami in mostly 1970's punk style!
-Kenpachi is a Hell's Angel. Yes.
-Yachiru is Yachiru
-Byakuya is such a tease . . . .
-Hitsugaya likes the part where you put on the eye makeup.
-Matsumoto IS Cyndi Lauper. Minus some of the weirder clothes. But those are Cyndi's earrings, tanktop-thing, and belt, and wrist-and-hand thingers.
-Ukitake is the more traditional punk. With flame boots. Which you can't see yet, really, but I'm gonna color this somewhere along the line and THEN you will see flame boots. XD
I'd also like to apologize to Kenpachi's crotch, which I probably shaded incorrectly, for alas, I don't have a 6'7" man to put on tight leather pants and pose for me. :|
Micron ink, paper, many fashion sites used for reference
(There was an IchigoRukiaRenjiOrihimeIshida - who turned out amazing - one also but it started to bother me and now I hate it and so now I'm gonna do them in a different fashion era, except Ishida, who is randomly going to be out of style, but, well, you've seen how he dresses, anyway.

I did just use real paint for fanart.
This picture drove me crazy because, for one thing, I had no references. Usually, when I'm painting with real paint, I have a photo reference or a real thing sitting in front of me, telling me colors and values and, most important to me, temperature. In digital art, there are some things I, at least, can't create well and temperature is one of them. There's something about trying to create true temp. with pixels that just doesn't . . . work. That's also the reason this is a much stronger piece in person - your eye reads the temperature better and it's more interesting.
The other thing is, trying to photograph this picture so that the colors stayed true to the real painting was impossible. Mostly the thing turned out into this ugly, ugly red-orange photo- or it was way too light. Nothing that can be fixed with Photoshop, anyway. *Twitch*
I love these kinds of skies. ^___^
Acrylic on canvas, 6-8 bhours]]>Dr. Quincy (and Son) by Papercut_Dragonurn:uuid:51351e1e-d8e3-d3d0-fc33-52d5d83b41e42007-08-31T16:46:23-07:00I felt like drawing Ryuuken!
So I did.
And then my sister was like, Put Ishida in there!
So I did. :P
This is really scribbly and crappy and I'm sorry! I wanna make it prettier. But right now I'm working on something that is for once NOT fanart, so maybe when that's done I'll come back to this.
Man, some people can make cool oekaki things. Mine always turn out . . . grungy, lol.
:/
Photoshop, oekaki style]]>Lamplight by Papercut_Dragonurn:uuid:8459fab5-0f58-d945-a379-cd20b3ac6add2007-08-30T18:48:47-07:00Doodleblah.
Tryin' to get over boredom/listlessness.
Um . . . I don't think it worked, lol. I need a job. I should be working on bookmarks. I could be doing homework. I'm feeling this need to actually come up with my own art and not draw other people's crap. I guess that's four years of art school weighing on my conscience. Too bad I can't trade bored for apathetic.
I love that time of night in the summer when the sun set a couple minutes ago, and the sky is this amazing shade of blue, and the land is dark and it makes the lights and the sky seem so bright. I've always wanted to draw it. So, I go and draw it in this ugly li'l thing, and I don't even do a proper job of it.
