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.]]>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]]>Night by arielurn:uuid:7aab518e-7cf9-d323-9c75-42bbe72fda552010-03-26T02:43:18-07:00Drawn with Ms paint.]]>Sweet Dreams by JarJarrBinx6urn:uuid:a6eec42c-f6b8-fe52-d22d-a2a6ecbb92002010-02-10T11:21:27-08:00Two of my original characters snoozing.

I love this one. As you can see, Ming has not been educated about morning erections. She's either come to the conclusion that Jansen's got a medical condition, or, based on the work-out his soldier received that night, she wasn't woman enough for him. Either way, she's freaking out.

A lovely marriage between my old love of magical girls, and my enduring lust of hentai. I haven't developed the magical girl outfits just yet, but that pic is on its way.
I won't go into too much detail, but the basic of each character is:
FUMIYO OCHIAI - the Brawn
Aged 34, single mother to a six year old boy, and a nurse by trade. Fumiyo is a strong and independant woman who reguarly engages in sexual acts with colleagues, and patients. She's had more abortions than she dare count, and only kept the one pregnancy because the father is someone of prominence.
SACHIE MIURA - the Strategist
Aged 22, a serious young woman currently employed as one of dozens of maids for a powerful family. Sachie was born into a family of old money, and when that money dried out three years prior, she was sold to an old friend as her grandfather's as a sex slave. Sachie is part of a harem, though she remains dignified and full of pride, much to the perverted delight of her owners.
AKIRA KINJOU - the Leader (self-pronounced)
Aged 18, a developmentally challenged high school student, who behaves more like a six year old - oh, and is a boy...though she'd never believe you. Akira was orphanded at a young age and placed into the custody of her pedophilic uncle. Akira has been used as a plaything by her uncle, and prostituted at will. Due to her mental development problems, she doesn't understand that she is mistreated, and adores her uncle for getting her chest fixed, and not judging her for being horribly disfigured with a penis.]]>In The Heat of Summer Sunshine by KawaiiAmethisturn:uuid:4165f0e4-5367-709f-71c8-401c8325a3492009-06-06T05:53:10-07:00- Canson watercolour paper

I'm... a solo cello outside a chor-us
I've got a secret,
It's time for me to tell that you've been keeping me warm

Don't give it back, I've never felt so wanted
Are you taking me home?
You tell me you have to go...

In the heat of summer sunshine
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine
I kiss you, and nobody needs to know
Now that you've left me, there's no retur-ning
I keep comparing, you're always win-ning
I try to be strong but you'll never be more wanted
Will you make me at home?
Don't tell me you have to go...
[Chorus:]
In the heat of summer sunshine
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine
I kiss you, and nobody needs to know
Ya da... ya da... ya da

In coffee city, we borrowed hea-ven
Don't give it back
Winter is coming and I need to stay warm
The heat.....

In the heat of summer sunshine
I miss you like nobody else

More Lost Odyssey 2 stuff. Does anyone actually care...? Oh well, this is terribly fun and great to get outta my head!
Over a thousand years ago, Jien Austere was known as Queen Uhskara, the first queen of Uhra.
The first king, the Golden Knight, Talon, was a brave and optimistic man. He was also terribly stubborn and had insisted since he was a child that Uhskara would be his wide one day. She had laughed it off and continued to do so, even when he was a grown man.
Talon, aided by Uhskara, led several clans to victory over invaders, and swore to bring the clans together into one great power - Uhra. So named for the woman who weaved her magic against their enemies, and wove threads inside their hearts. Once again, he informed her that she would be his wife, and now, his queen. Amused, she accepted he was now a grown man and bowed down to his childish demands.
Talon died a very old man; it was difficult to see her husband so haggard and frail. When their eldest son claimed the thrown, Uhskara, who had gone to lengths to hide her youthful appearance from the public, feigned suicide. From there she guided her son from the shadows, and then her grandson.
Her grandson was concerned he would not be able to live up to his father or grandfather, and felt he did have not have the strength to be a great king. This prompted Uhskara to create the gold obelisks across the globe, allowing him and his descendants to grow stronger, and face a vision of the first king.
Shortly after creating the obelisks, Uhskara fell into a coma and soon appeared dead. Her grandson had her buried in her once empty tomb. She lay there for a year. Uhskara awoke one day, dazed and horrified by the darkness. She reacted with a magical blast, and made her escape.
Uskara had lost her memory; she walked the dusty city of Uhra, recognising nothing, and was given shelter by the wife of a merchant. The woman named her Jien, which she would have named her daughter, if she'd had one. She taught "Jien" how to cook and secured her a position on her husband's ship.
And so began what would be a long string of incarnations. She always had papers on her, so she always kept the name Jien, yet the surname did change regularly. Never due to marriage however, a yearning for a man in her heart always weighed her down and held her back from accepting the advances of others. Sadly her past would only become clear the closer she came to seeing her memory wiped. The remembrance of Talon always marked the end of her current life.
Jien Austere is overcome with longing and dread when she looks at young Prince Seth. When the memory of his ancestor returns, she begins to count the days when she will lose it all, and is in a race against time to destroy the Cult of Gongora's plot before she becomes useless to their cause.]]>Lost Odyssey 2 - The Villains by KawaiiAmethisturn:uuid:743490ad-ded4-4df4-7f00-4ce3bdf3b8ed2009-05-21T23:47:24-07:00- Canson Fanboy manga paper

Presenting the villains of my Lost Odyssey 2 idea! Do read the descriptions and tell me what you think.
EDVARD DAHLQUIST
Edvard Dahlquist is the proud Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis (or Metropolitan Police Commissioner) for Gohtza. He took his rank 16 years prior when Gohtza, burdened with little leadership, became a haven for the lawless. Gohtza''s police force is now considered more influential and powerful than many armies of leading nations.
Dahlquist is publicly trying to destroy the Cult of Gongora, while secretly leading the very organisation. During the events of the first game, he was Gongora''s chief scientist and oversaw the construction of the various Grand Staff projects. Gongora had assured Dahlquist that with the completion of Grand Staff, his most loyal followers would receive immortality.
With Gongora''s defeat, Dahlquist fell into a destructive depression, turning to drugs and booze. One winter, ss he lay drunk and dying in the snow, a curious little girl came upon him and finished him off. He was resurrected and with a giggle, the girl assured him that Gongora was still them, if only in spirit.
Together they have nurtured an organisation dedicated to seeing out the Grand Staff project. Whereas there once great staffs above the earth, now they are below. Their goal is to open a gate to this other dimension and seize the power of immortality.
Several years ago the Bandit General, Haleigh, became suspicous of activities in his region and together with his men, investigated. Hal made it his mission to destroy this Cult, and to counteract his activities, the Cult made itself known, but named Hal as its leader. From then on, they utilised public mayhem to deter authorities from their worksites.
Dahlquist is unaware that his most trusted detective, Jien Austere, is immortal, nor is he aware of the other two immortals. It was quite a boon to capture Haleigh, and in turn strengthened his confidence from the major nations.
SEMPITERNA
The true villain pulling all the strings; Sempiterna is Latin for "eternal", fitting for a being created by the magical distortion of a clash of immortals.
Sempiterna came to being during the final battle of the first game. She has taken the form of an infantile 14 yr old girl, and holds a dim view of human nature. Like the people of dimension behind the mirrors, she views emotion as a virus, but seeks to cure it, not investigate it.
During the course of the story she acts as Dahlquist''s eccentric lackey, though she is actually his adviser and magical benefactor. While he plans to conduct the magic of the world to open a gate, she plans to use the Grand Staff project to remove emotion and personality, thus creating a logical paradise where humanity will surely prosper.
JOMEI
Jomei works directly for Dahlquist, lurking in the shadows, ensuring Grand Staff is not disturbed. He has been charged with causing confusion when there is danger of the project being discovered. For example, he led the attack on Uhran merchants when their base was disturbed, and poisioned Princess Minerva of Numara when the Queen was making enqueries into seismic disturbances off the coast of Numara.
Jomei does not desire immortality, he wants revenge. The young ninja blames the grand nations of the world for the destruction of his village, which fell to a volcano. Scientific analysis predicted it would not erupt for at least two hundred years. Due to magical imbalance, the volcano erupted much sooner.
There were very few survivors, and because of their remote location, aid was slow to arrive. In that time all but Jomei had died of their wounds and starvation. Jomei was taken in Dahlquist and promised revenge would be his.]]>Lost Odyssey 2 - Mack and Seth by KawaiiAmethisturn:uuid:b04f22bc-dae2-2114-ca2d-485cbdd368e52009-05-20T10:10:47-07:00- Canson Fanboy manga paper

Finally! The party is now complete. Yaaaay! Here we have 28 yr old Mack, yes, all growed up, and 10 yr old Prince Seth.
MACK
Since the first game, Mack has dedicated his life to studying the ruins of the Eastern Tribe and strengthening his own Spirit magic. His research is sponsored by Uhra, with the expectation of his findings being of benefit to the state's already innovative magical devices.
When Mack put Princess Minerva's body in stasis, losing her soul in the process, he raged at his incompetence and fled to the Temple of Enlightenment. There he meditated until he was able to locate the carrier.
The process took months; Mack was frail and exhausted much of his power. When he joined the party, he explained his profession and asked to tag along, as he was also travelling to Uhra. Jien didn't trust him, but allowed it, since his magic could prove useful. During the journey the two played cat and mouse, trying to figure the other out. Mack couldn't understand why Minerva's soul would attach itself to a random stranger, and Jien was convinced he was a spy for the Cult.
SETH
On first impressions, Seth is a typical prince - highly educated, polite, and respectful of his obligations as a future monarch. On a second glance, you see a typical boy - adventurous, rough and terribly nosy.
Seth has inherited the skills and guns of the now deceased pirate Sed, who was very much a grandfather to him. Though he is young, the prince trains his body to hold the massive weapons, and practices his shot daily.
Seth holds great pride in his father's work abroad, and the strong leadership of his mother, who is not of noble birth, yet earned the respect of Uhra's ministers. He worries he is not up their standards, and is selfish, because he would rather they spent more time with him.
The prince joins the party when he is caught up in a Cult plot, but mistakes Jien's crew as the villains. He attacks them, planning to bring them to justice. Following his defeat, Jien, sensing a strong connection to the child, says they will protect him till they can get him safely home.
Seth enjoys the adventure and the heat of battle. The inclusion of his mother into the party is both a blessing and curse; she offers motherly security, but at the same time, is overprotective and dismissive of his ability to comprehend the seriousness of the position they're in.]]>Lost Odyssey 2 - Cooke's Family by KawaiiAmethisturn:uuid:ed9ae260-5ba6-aa49-48f0-24fa487b72a52009-05-19T06:32:26-07:00- Canson fanboy manga sketch paper

Another Lost Odyssey 2 piece; this is grown up Cooke, with her 4 yr old son Sedrik and her husband, Yurik. Aint she just a yummy mummy? ^_-
Cooke has been captain of the Nautilus for the past ten years, and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. She took over captaincy when Sed retired, and advertised the position. 21 yr old Cooke wasn't the most desired applicant, but she was the loudest.
Yurik hails from Saman, born into a family of successful fishermen. He is a quiet man, who easily blends into the scenery, and has a heart filled with unbound kindness.
Being not the eldest son, he felt free to pursue seas away from home. When he applied to be a crew member of the Nautilus, he didn't expect to be made First Mate. Captain Cooke was firm in her belief that he was perfect for the role - for he was the only one who looked like a pirate, with that eye patch. Yurik was bewildered, but happy to have a job.
Several years later the pair married. During the reception, Jansen and Tolten assured Yurik that their ports were always open to him, and they would guarantee his safety on the likely chance that Cooke becomes unmanageably hostile for no good reason and takes it out on him. Yurik didn't know how to respond, and just quietly thanked them. Of course, their guarantee was follwed up with another one - in the event that he breaks her heart, their navies hunt him down so Kaim can beat him within an inch of his life, and Mack gets to finish him off. It seemed fair.
Sedrik's name is a combo of Sed and Yurik. He is the ship's mascot and demands attention. The young master sits by his mother, nodding as she hands out commands. He tells people he is the First Mate, though this is because his father tells him he is his First Mate. The child is quite obnoxious, very loud and doesn't get along with Prince Seth of Uhra.
During the story, Cooke is reluctantly introduced to the party by Mack, and they trust her to safely ferry them across the sea in secrecy. Later, the Nautilus is sent on an expedition to locate the missing Tolten, and goes missing itself. Naturally, the party detours from its mission to stop the Cult of Gongora's evil plot to rescue family and friends.]]>Lost Odyssey 2 - Mina Friedh by KawaiiAmethisturn:uuid:10944f32-9614-7c7a-ea28-4a31fc1d0a632009-05-15T15:11:17-07:00- Canson manga sketch pad

Yay, I finally drew another Lost Odyssey 2 character! Only two more party members to go.
This is Minerva "Mina" Numara, the first Princess (ever) of Numara and the first of four children. She''s perky, talkative, emotional, contentious, and suffers from typical teenaged immaturity. She is currently 17 and has returned from a year long absence.
A year and a half prior to the main story, Mina was struck down by an incurable illness and battled against it for half a year. Eventually she slipped into a coma and awoke to a world of ever darkness. Little by little the dark world around her lit and she could make out an expanding glowing doorway.
As the strange dark world began to see light, Mina became aware of the presence of a woman named Jien. She experienced her emotions, sometimes saw through her eyes, and saw flashes of past memories. Jien was the key to finding her way home, however attempts at communication brought few rewards.
Mina eventually found her way through the glowing door when she could feel the full force of her mother''s and Jien''s power. Mina, who a soul, was now flesh and terribly frustrated and confused.
During her final days of life, Mina''s soul was removed and her body put in stasis via forgotten spirit magic, performed by her friend Mack. Her soul, which longed for life, attached to Jien Austere, an immortal who wished for death.
Mina''s mysterious illness is identified by Lucienne Firenze as a lab created disease by the Cult of Gongora. Their goal was to severely distract Queen Ming by killing off one of her children. A drawn out illness was decidedly most effective to induce trauma, and the eldest was selected for the likelihood of surviving the longest period.
The people of Numara were led to believe the princess had been sent away for specialist treatment. During the year of Mina''s absence, Ming sunk into a depression, blaming herself for losing her daughter''s soul. The Cult had achieved their objective, though they had underestimated the role of king, whose strengths lay in interpretting data and cutting through general bullshoot. Thanks to his level head, Numara did not make rash choices and remained neutral throughout the growing hostilities of its neighbours.
Mina joins the crew to locate an antidote, and fight the good fight. She travels under the name Mina Friedh to not draw attention her return. Her strength is magic, and due to her soul''s attachment to Jien, she acts as an immortal.]]>Flight to School by KawaiiAmethisturn:uuid:acb0f482-e7da-9689-8240-3781c7d89e092009-05-12T21:46:29-07:00- Mi-Teintes pastel paper

I decided to test out some new graytone pastels, and thought it might be nicely ironic to do it with Miss Sunshine, Princess Amelia from Slayers.
I lessened the brightness, so you could see the pic better. I hope it isn't too dark, my laptop can be funny with brightness.]]>Love Everlasting by KawaiiAmethisturn:uuid:6e20afcc-a21f-78d0-b316-7d55d5b812c92009-04-24T07:04:23-07:00- Deleter kent paper

Been ages since I did a Kyou Kara Maou fanart.
Gotta feel sorry for that frog; Wolf's either going to vent by frying him alive or vent by doging about that damned wimp for 6 hours straight. Either way - the frog is royally screwed.]]>
