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? ^^]]>Yu Yu Hakusho Sketch Dump by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:52d9e8d0-23ef-7554-880d-8c6de005ba0a2007-11-03T09:19:06-07:00Holy poo! A whole bunch of YYH sketches!]]>Avatar: The Blue Spirit by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:f5c7c6bc-a77a-5b27-3793-959ab5cb89ee2007-11-03T09:12:19-07:00I wanted to draw a picture of Zuko with his new hair from Book 3 D: And then I accidentally went crazy with ribbons and colors.. and.. well, I took a whole lot of "artistic license" with this so you'll have to take it with a grain of salt :P
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]]>Tutorial: Quick and Easy Coloring by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:8b78f3d0-2e51-3144-8fcd-27400357db472007-07-17T18:34:12-07:00I apologize. This may take forever to load.
So, I was feeling really lazy and art blockish.. and I drew this picture of me with artblock... and then I was working away at coloring it while still feeling incredibly lazy and I thought "hey.. since I can't really do anything productive artistically, I could make a coloring tutorial"
You see, I never really colored stuff before when I had art block.. and then I realized it could be really easy and fast. Sure, it takes some practice to get familiar with everything.. but once you have that down, it's really just a simple four step process per layer. And then it's done!
Of course, if you don't have artblock, you can probably be a little more creative with the technique. It's still handy [YAY!]
Okay... so I've been noticing that some people don't seem to know how to resize images. A common misconception, I think, is that people believe they don't have a program capable of handling resizing. Well since MOST people have MS Paint (Mac users don't, but Macs are a little more graphics savvy so you probably know you can use your art programs to resize images anyways) then most people do have a program. Even if they're not running photoshop or something like that.
When I had somebody tell me that they didn't have a resizing program, I asked if they had MS Paint. Then they told me that it doesn't work as well.. so that's when I decided to make this tutorial. Hopefully it'll be helpful to some of you!]]>OC: Linsey by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:a168773e-9e15-6c5c-6c32-1e53c5360f862007-07-17T03:18:47-07:00Soo... I've been working on a ref sheet.

While drawing this I learned what Kogyaru was. Kate (the character in the middle is sporting it). It's basically Barbie meets Insane Clown Posse. Bizzare stuff. :/
Just to make it legit, I even used photo references from Tokyo's Harajuku district. :D I went a little overboard with the background I think.]]>Mai Shiranui by bratkitty84urn:uuid:97513a1e-0048-1a5a-c4e6-4b404c596f7f2006-09-24T23:56:35-07:00I lurve Mai. She's teh smexx. :D
I did this over the course of a couple of days while at my friend's house from scratch on Photoshop. It was originally a black and white picture and was actually drawn with an eraser. I used a couple of photo references of Kyoto to kind of rough in a background and then played with it from there.]]>Asuka by bratkitty84urn:uuid:49d590c8-f673-282c-1a8c-2deb1b6495fc2006-09-22T14:39:18-07:00This is a fanart of Asuka I've been working on all week. We were selling prints at A-Kon back in June and I had my Rei fanart for sale and I ended up with quite a large demand for one of Asuka. :D So hopefully this will please the masses. (and I will be selling the print next A-Kon and whatever other con I end up going to)
Anyways, she's teh smexx in this pic. I've never used this much red in one go.i can be hard to work with. :P

I knew I wanted to add in red in certain places in the background. Then I ended up spending the rest of my time making brushes for the blood spatters. XD Butterflies was from a brush I found elsewhere though.

I love Osaka. Between this part and the one where sh has a dream that she kills Chiyo and uses her pigtails to fly away, the series is just pure funniness.

Info:
Mercedes is a cadet working for "The Government" which is basically this empire that started on a particularly prosperous planet, took control there and over time expanded its power throughout the galaxy. The Government renamed the first planet Maytre and afterwards changed others to the same name, following them with numbers. Mercedes lives on Maytre II, the second planet to fall into The Gov't's hands. These planets are the political centers of the empire but nearly every planet is under the control of The Gov't. Within it's sphere of influence, there are four classes of people as well as a category for those with no class at all-- the people who don't work for the G. When a person joins the G, they automatically become a 1st class citizen. They are given a uniform, red and black, with markings that comply with a theme of "one". Some people are given the opportunity to advance to 2nd class, usually because of some coveted ability they possess, but not often. They're given extra priveleges, rights, and a new uniform, conforming to a theme of "two". Rarer still is to advance to 3rd class. This really only happens if a person's assets are extremely rare and indespensible or one of the higher ups deems it necessary for the person to hold a higher position. 3rd class citizens also get a change in uniforms and usually do not take part in any fighting. As for 4th class, nearly 100% of the cases in which people make it to this position have a lot to do with underhanded dealings. In this class, people can basically do whatever they hell they want. On a whole, the G is pretty corrupt but much too powerful and large to do anything about. Some groups fight back against it, but the government has billions upon billions of soldiers and weapons to quench most efforts against them.
Mercedes has been working with the government for 10 years. For the first 8 years he was a first class citizen, partaking in combat missions. One of the superiors eventually discovered Mercedes had a photographic memory and the ability to sense whether somebody was lying or telling the truth. A person with a "photographic memory", by G terms, is able to store and recall a scene in time so vividly that it's possible to extract the images with a computer and analyze them. This is handy for secrets that the G would not risk being stored on a memory chip for fear of theft or hacking. So now Mercedes joins the ranks of combat squads as an undercover agent, appearing to be another troop while actually recording the procedings of a scene. Sometimes he doubles as an interrogator.
As a person, Mercedes is not the most friendly guy. He doesn't trust people that much so he basically stays to himself a lot of the time. He's not completely humorless though, and he does appreciate a good time when it comes a long, he just may not show it well. More than anything, he'd like somebody he could rely on. Unfortunately, this puts a damper on his outlook seeing as he's quite aware that one can not even count on somebody to live through the week in his environment.]]>OC: Mercedes -- Evasion by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:74d72966-15e0-d9db-5853-f96defd6633b2006-08-31T15:55:28-07:00My character, Mercedes. I decided I had to give him a better action pose than how I portrayed him in my reference sheet... didn't really plan on taking it this far though. XDD But in the end, I'm glad I did. 'Cause this has got to be the most productive thing I've done all summer. And definitely the most extensive piece of an original character I've ever done O_o Maybe the most extensive period.
Anyways, this is just supposed to depict some random moment of a random mission that Mercedes was sent on... Enjoy.
In conclusion DO NOT TELL ME MERCEDES IS A GIRL'S NAME</b> >:C Duh, please. A million years have passed and he doesn't even live on this planet. Things have changed.]]>POTC: Best Mates by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:0f5f5a58-e165-9c10-ddc9-83c81d33f4842006-08-06T16:09:35-07:00.... Does Will like... HAVE friends? O_o It just ocurred to me... You know, Jack is probably his best friend, all things considered. And being as all things are taken into consideration... isn't that sad? O_o;; Adunno. Anyways... It shall be colored. Eventually.
Done with MY best mate, the Faber-Castell PITT artist pen. And some pencils..
but not really. I have friends. >_>]]>POTC: Won't Even Recognize You by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:d50c832f-22d7-bd78-888d-18cc571832a32006-08-05T21:38:09-07:00okay so... I finished this drawing, which was once a sketch. Amazing. Of course, it looks much better in real life.. My scanner doesn't work, I used a digital camera, I can't hold a camera straight, so the image is warped... blah blah blah. I would really like to rant more about this but I am too tired and hungry XD So voila, my first traditional piece in a long while. In real life it has a background. But you probably will never see it unless I get a new scanner. Mwah!
Done with Faber-Castell pens and Prismacolor markers.
P.S. I wish that they would make Jack Sparrow look all clean for a little while in the next movie just 'cause I'm itching to know what he'd look like now D:]]>J+D: Contrasty Jak by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:41daaa2d-2f26-d133-009a-6624bc13e2792006-05-29T02:13:14-07:00omg, can it be?! It is! A TRADITIONAL MEDIA PIECE!! Crazy. This was made with scratchboard in my cartooning class. Scratch board is a peice of black card that you scratch the black off of (using pointy scratchboard tools) to reveal white underneath-- to put it plainly. So yah, last time I did scratchboard I tried a lot of crosshatching for gradient shading. This year, though, I decided to stick with solid shading. So I went with a high-contrast pic I whipped up of--go figure-- Jak. Then I made a contrasty rubber stamp with Daxter But that's not being submitted So yah, enjoy!
PS. I signed my name in Photoshop. Just to go ahead and put that out there.]]>J+D: Shoulda Been by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:5073d705-1077-ac67-e7af-32b5424a639d2006-05-29T02:00:06-07:00umm... boo.]]>J+D: Softie by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:026925a0-3eb2-38ce-eb38-1620d88126b52006-05-29T01:51:28-07:00There we are. The kid petting Daxter who seems to be taking a snooze on the floor of the underground HQ. I think Daxter would like the kid a lot more after learning his identity ^^]]>J+D: Grew Up Nice by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:ae42fa6f-8fc2-36e6-e3cb-30c8ad7730982006-05-29T01:42:09-07:00“You speak as though you miss this child.”
Daxter nodded. “Hell yeah I miss him. But there’s no gettin’ him back, not now.” He slid down off the king’s shoulderplate and perched on Jak’s chest, reaching out with one slim paw to brush the youth’s hair from his face. “But I gotta admit, he sure grew up nice.”
This is an illustration from DA's Nashidesei's awesome fic I totally recommend it. Now, I have officially decided that while Damas is an awesome character, he wears to much freaking crap! X_x Gosh darnit... from now on he just gets a T-shirt and jeans! Just kidding.. probably. >_> Anyways, enjoy ^__^
