They requested a black wolf with a silvery ruff. The body looks a bit strange, but it's legit; I promise. I don't think I chose the best of places to cut it off at...oh the woes of traditional art....which the scanner eats.
The white dots are supposed to be snow.
Drawn with prismacolor colored pencils.]]>Merry Christmas -08 by Bladeurn:uuid:097ecc78-64d1-1af7-dddb-3fbe5694dc952009-01-07T09:14:38-08:00Merry Christmas everyone!
Katsu, Tez, and Kai. Done in Prismacolor and Copic markers, outlined in ballpoint pen.]]>Puppy Eyes by Bladeurn:uuid:23b46987-39a0-4003-229a-e7eac0873f7c2009-01-07T09:12:34-08:00This was drawn as a Christmas present for a friend. She asked me to draw her something cute...with puppies and ice cream and rainbows. I don't think I've ever drawn something so crazy and psychedelic before. XD
The scanner totally ate this.
Haha, it's been a while since I've said that, I'd almost forgotten how much my scanner hates traditional art. Needless to say I tried to fix it, but I could only do so much. The balance of the colors is off now, and it looks nowhere as pretty as it does irl. :c
Painted in watercolors (wow, when was the last time I used those!?!) And then inked over.]]>Gaia- Katsu Kumori by Bladeurn:uuid:cb7da9de-1352-10c9-1e07-760d3da11e912009-01-06T21:38:11-08:00I'm always drawing everyone else's avatars, but never mine, so I figured I'd give it a try. I actually like it a lot less than the other two I did...lol. XD
Anyway, this is almost exactly my avvie, except the lantern doesn't exist on gaia; hopefully it will though... >:3]]>Conan and Shinichi by Bladeurn:uuid:ce91495a-d7ed-31ea-e9ce-8a57db3953192009-01-06T20:36:30-08:00Birthday picture for my sister. :3
I finally drew you a Detective Conan art. Which I still say is like the hardest style for me to draw. -.-]]>Gaia- Oh Look I Died by Bladeurn:uuid:98e73a7f-d777-49e6-2db0-4aaa31dea0c32008-10-09T18:37:48-07:00More playing with the style I invented out of my pure hatred for artist's block last night. :3
I actually kind of like this style.
So same deal as before:
Art for someone on gaia...lolz...
This is my attempt to be able to draw anything...and it's really rough and sketchy.
Made with pencil, pen, really bad printer paper, copic and prismacolor markers, white out, glitter (lol, I opened a birthday card and really fine glitter came out so now this picture is sparkly) and photoshop for the background color.]]>Gaia- for The Undead Suitor by Bladeurn:uuid:8704fb78-7c78-2e70-0f8d-9920878ec5be2008-10-09T18:37:43-07:00ou know how you have to just draw stuff by hand sometimes? Yeah....I was working on a picture for someone on the computer and I could not for the life of me draw....so, about to go crazy, I just decided to do it the good ol' fashion way.
Art for someone on gaia...lolz...
This is my attempt to be able to draw anything(yay artist's block!)...and it's really rough and sketchy.

I was supposed to be doing homework, then I had a better idea!
Anyway I can't draw technical stuff for beans but whateves. This was a quick sketch really, and trust me, I can name lots of things wrong with it.
Here is the description I provided:
This lantern is guaranteed to provide you with light even in the dimmest situations. Fashioned out of both tarnished and polished brass it provides a warm pumpkin glow of flickering candlelight.]]>Ishianti -Gaia by Bladeurn:uuid:8b9d3907-edc5-60ce-2a62-f11746bad58a2008-09-16T20:17:28-07:00Go to dA for HUGE VIEW (details) http://bladesfire.deviantart.com/art/Gaia-comish-Ishianti-97349779
....I am never drawing anything this big again....(though of course you know that's probably a lie)...but yeah, by the time I made the size manageable I lost most of the details. :c
This was a commission for Ishianti on Gaia.]]>Gaia-Guitar by Bladeurn:uuid:0424a9c7-6cc0-3905-6c46-5771e57773dd2008-09-16T20:17:23-07:00A quick art trade with someone on Gaia. I was just playing with poses and color...and stuff. XD
Yep, not too much to say here, this will likely be scrapped soon.]]>Tez and Astrid by Bladeurn:uuid:7aa50c3c-7e9a-2eb9-bb5b-857a01af21d92008-07-02T21:21:39-07:00This was a picture I was planning on drawing for quite a while.... HeiBai is always surprising me with wonderful art so I was going to draw her something in return!
Anyway, this is my character, Tez and HeiBai's character, Astrid.
I'm not sure what they're doing aside from having a nice conversation, I figure the two would get along quite well, their personalities seem similar enough. :3
And lab coats are still loads of fun to draw...Tez looks so ridiculous next to Astrid with her fantasy-ish look, where as Astrid could conceivably be a real doctor. It was fun drawing different styles of coats though. (I enjoy the most random things)
I ended up trying a whole buncha new stuff with this picture art-wise. I've been meaning to try some of this out for a while. Like the main thing I did- color with marker then go back and detail with colored pencil. I really liked how that worked with the hair, and it gave everything else a more solid color, but...I dunno, I'm kinda iffy on weather or not I'll do this in the future for anything but hair.
And lol...the poses are referenced. Mom threw a fatty Macy's catalogue at me and told me to find some nice clothes....which I didn't do. I got distracted by the nice drawing references...XD
Anyway, as usual the scanner ate the colors.....Grrrr....]]>Earth Lion by Bladeurn:uuid:643c05ac-c5c7-8309-0bf0-eb772e7bdcca2008-06-30T20:06:54-07:00A long over-due commission for Gaia.
Yeah, cats are a billion times harder to draw than dogs. It's the fur. Bleh. I was playing with short fur techniques in this picture.]]>The doctor by Bladeurn:uuid:e7e0fc81-26b0-36b3-4fb1-853b38df57872008-06-29T09:16:07-07:00The Doctor is my most recent roleplay character for a Savage World's campaign.
Usually I make my own characters completely, but I take no credit for this design. A friend of mine actually came up with it.
In short, The Doctor is the only name this character has...well, for this instance at least. He is a combat surgeon and can throw scalpels, and can preform medical miracles! Hoary!
Oh, and the blood...lol....ironically enough it kinda makes it look like he's wearing a white mage outfit. XD But yeah, that's just a character trait, appropriately titled "blood everywhere", things always tend to get a bit messy.
Actually...we have no idea if the doctor is a boy or a girl...I always figured he was a guy, but my friend who made the character always thought he was a girl...so I tried to make him...her...it? androgynous, but I just ended up with a ridiculously anime picture. >.<
Anyway, this is something I drew for fun to kind of keep my sanity. I think it's the most useful thing I have done in the last three days.
which inspired me to draw this.
I wanted to work on some of the other stuff I needed to get done, but I was too out of it to be confident in my ability to draw.
I really don't want critique on this, mainly because i was feeling like garbage and on painkillers when I drew it. Then I was feeling even worse today when I finished it! Yay! Yeah...this is my attempt to keep myself sane right now.]]>Movie Montage Mural by Bladeurn:uuid:8762b090-f9fb-fffb-3056-6267ae4e6b582008-06-29T09:08:02-07:00This was a final from my art class. Everyone had to paint a door at the school. This is the mural I designed for the Video Productions class.
I haven’t painted anything in about two years now, and this was definitely a challenge. It was hot and the paint dried to fast, or there was glare from the sun. And the top and the bottom of the door were hard to get a good angle on.
Not to mention our supplies were kinda bleh. The colors we had were red, yellow, blue, white, and black. Which would be ok, except it was house paint…and more importantly the blue was strangely desaturated, and the black had a blue tint. It made it really hard to get the right colors.
Anyway, this picture really does no justice to the mural, the sun was setting by the time I finished and there was a terrible glare. Maybe I’ll take another one someday.
This was a combined effort between me and a few other artists.
What I worked on:
-Mickey from Fantasia
-Frodo and Sam from LOTR
-Maria from Sound of Music
---face by me
-Lawerence of Arabia
---face by me
-Indiana Jones
---face by me
-Frank the bunny from Donnie Darko
-Yoda from Star Wars
-Jack and Rose from Titanic
-Jaws
-Casablanca
--- some touch ups by me
-Wizard of Oz
--- touch ups by me
Critique discouraged because this is not wholly my work, and because I realize most of the flaws, we had to work fast though.
The story can be found here if anyone's interested: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3550998/1/Fortitude]]>Old School Zelink by Ingieurn:uuid:314e2ffa-f4db-8f8b-5f14-725a554690142008-06-20T19:38:27-07:00A Kiriban pic for my deviantART site. The colored version will be up soon.
Yay old school Zelink! ^__^]]>Wisdom and Courage by Ingieurn:uuid:3c22b30f-f00e-06ea-8cef-38d95f19097e2008-06-19T20:49:58-07:00This started out as some random sketch of Link and just evolved into a finished drawing. ^^
Drawn from scratch in OpenCanvas]]>Redwinged Blackbird-Rowan Winter by Bladeurn:uuid:35a55985-1597-f8e0-c440-bf93a62108172008-04-30T14:06:00-07:00This is just a quick sketch for a story (Redwinged Blackbird) I am hopefully going to be writing next year and the years to follow. (In addition to Lost).
Anyway, this is Rowan Winter. She's rather undeveloped at this point in time, but what I do know is this:
-Age: 19
-Hair color: White
~Background: (tentative)
--has a connection with birds, esp. Redwinged Blackbirds
--can see ghosts/spirits
--has rich parents (who don't really care about her, they're not fond of the ghost thing)
--is supposed to be going to a prestigous college, but secretely rents an apartment and works.
Wow, the scanner ate this...I think it hates the paper I drew it on. Even my lights and darks are off....grrr....
This is kinda half done). But let me know what you think, I haven't drawn a realistic person in quite some time and I'm definately rusty. :s]]>Percious Treasure by Bladeurn:uuid:cdab4a00-8dd2-2bba-0d85-d2bd12bc4b602008-04-15T18:02:12-07:00Yay! Another one!
Geez, I told myself that I would keep these simple but the more I draw the more detail I want to add.
Anyway, I rather like this one, it's my favorite thus far.
I was really playing with composition in this one. Any comments on it?
And believe me, I know those wolves are garbage. Sorry about that. I was just having a bad wolf drawing day. A really bad day.
Oh and another thing. I hate drawing nighttime. Grah.
So, sorry the text is hard to read. I scanned it a buncha times and this was the best one. Scanners are always evil it seems.
I've been meaning to draw this picture for some time, and finally did, and incorporated it into the 100 theme while I was at it.
For those who don't know, Alice is the one in the middle, then there's Kai, her older brother, in the front with the lab coat. The wolves are just wolves, and the guy in the back is a wolf. Let's just say I don't think Kai realizes he's conscious yet...and I cannot guarantee this has a happy ending.
Kai was supposed to look 17ish in this picture...I don't think I managed it too well. Age is my bane. He doesn’t have emo hair yet though! Oh, and yes, he's just genius to be a doctor at that age. Actually, he's more of a resident/intern. It's a fantasy novel, it works, I promise.
Um...and he's holding a rock and a lantern in case you can't tell. A badly drawn rock at that.
I need to rewrite this part of the book, otherwise I'd post the text from it. Sorry. Originally Kai tells it first person, but...it was far too contrived, and boring actually. Kai dosen't remember a lot of what happened what happend after this. Seventeen year old doctors aren't very good fighters against trained soldiers. And what kind of a guy (besides a badly written one) pours out his traumatic life story to irritating punks like Katsu? So basically I need to reconfigure it. Any ideas? (and I know most of you know little to nothing about the story, though maybe because of that you'll come up with something so creative it just might work. Or possibly halarious)
Anyway, as usual, uber thanks if you read all that. O.o]]>Insanity by Bladeurn:uuid:24629b6b-5123-6f5a-26a4-5d31b76823762008-04-13T09:41:51-07:00Not very insane looking, I know...but it's there...somewhere...I promise.
It was originally an insane picture of just Wapasha, being insane....
Then I erased it to draw him from the front because it just wasn't looking good. Then I decided he needed something to do, so I gave him his little bowl of scrying. Then I needed something for him to do with his other hand....so I drew about another fifteen things until Kumori ended up there.
Anyway, I would definitely say that the title refers to both of the characters present, and for different reasons. Though the main focus is on Wapasa.
Speaking of which, I don't think anyone has ever seen him before.
Behold, the evil over-lord main villain of Lost. Probably different than you were expecting huh? Maybe not...*shrugs* Regardless, he can get a lot more insane than this...I just can't draw as well as I can imagine. Maybe when I get better I can draw him in his crazy "shape-shifted" (I have no idea how to describe it, he can use magic to alter his body though....no, don't even go there) form.
And this, children, is why magic is evil and you should never use it. Or rather, you should use it in moderation with the right rules. Yes, he does have three fingers (well, two and a thumb). Yes, they are half hoof. And he has deer legs kinda like a fawn). This is hopefully something Tez and Katsu will figure out....otherwise things could get rather ugly.
So the text, and the scene are from "the past" as in, if they are ever told in the story, it will be in flashback form.
And look how Wapasha is breaking the fourth wall! Yes, very insane. Aren't you totally convinced now?]]>The Legend of the Foxes by Bladeurn:uuid:940623a5-0e27-39e2-7d5b-dc4b74c96fe82008-04-13T09:35:01-07:00EDIT:
Wow, it's so weird. This looks good in photoshop, the colors are more balanced, and dull, and the shadows are lighter. But when I put it on the Internet it looks different. Kai's face is now more red, and the shadows on has face are way darker. O.o Has anyone else had this problem?
So, thanks everyone for the input, I don't know what I'd do without you.
SO, I am still in the process of fixing everything mentioned, but I figured I'd put up what I had so far so people could stop telling me about the book etc. (not that that's bad, but that was just the first thing I fixed).
What I've done:
-fixed book
-fixed lamp
-Fixed Kai's face up a bit (lol, that sound evil)
-nose
-eye
-shadows
-added more shadows on the table
-added another shelf of books
-added some more book titles
-made his shoulders smaller (yay! He doesn't look like a football player so much now!)
What I still need to do:
-Less wrinkles in coat
-Make his arm less stiff
-Make him a less skinny (aka add some more coat)
And if I'm crazy enough:
-Maybe redraw this picture from a different (top view) perspective...(~Oleem's way cool idea)
Once again, if you see something else for me to fix, please say so. If I didn't quite fix something well enough, say that too.
Once again, thanks to everyone who gave me advice!
/EDIT
Well, one day...like three months ago...I felt like drawing Kai. And I just now finished him. XD
It's been a while since I've attempted something "realistic"...my skilz are getting rather rusty.
Anyway, I would really appreciate constructive crit on this....I'm sure I've done something blatantly, obviously, wrong....but I've been staring at this picture for to long to be able to tell any more (if you know how that is).
Um, now where was I? Ah yes, banter!
So, this is Kai and he's looking emo and reading a book. Or rather the book. This fact is really rather important, but at this point I am sure no one besides me knows how so or to what extent. Yay!
As for the location, it's one of his favorite paces to hang out, Dr. Kuro's private library.
Now, obviously Dr. Kuro has no organizational skills what so ever...this of course is no commentary on that of the artist....*shifty eyes*
Seriously though....that was a heck of a lot of books to title. XP
Coming up with titles was hard, they got rather uninspired near the end. There are a few amusing ones hidden in there, though they are hard to read. (I did that on purpose). Then there are some (a very limited number, and as impossible to read as I could make) that actually exist. My small homage to the stuff I've read for research for writing. (You know you're a nerd when you find that stuff more interesting than fantasy novels).
Um....can't think of anything else to say right now other than I plan on drawing Tez next. I also know that picture is likely to kill me...it's going to involve rain for one thing. XP Wish me luck.]]>Introduction by Bladeurn:uuid:5e33aa44-3745-3415-5c0d-17e5da91b9562008-04-13T09:25:51-07:00This is for that 100 theme challenge thing on dA.
Well, today my art teacher told me I needed to fill the remaining 200ish pages of my sketchbook....in less than two weeks. And make a new animation. Haha! April fools....right? Sadly not so much. (Don't worry, I won't actually do all of that, but I will however make a token effort)
Soooo, I was thinking....how the heck to I quickly fill pages? I'll never think of enough new characters to draw.
Then I remembered this 100 theme challenge! So, expect a lot of these with the chraracter of Lost.
Critique not desired as this is a doodle. If you want to say something, feel free, I won't be offended, just know that I don't think this is a great work of art. Seriously, the thing I was trying to make good was their hands and arms, and I came up with something that looked good to me the first time, so I'm satisfied.
This, (and probably most all of the ones to come) is a scene from the story. When Katsu and Tez first meet. There's a bit of it in the upper right hand corner, but here is some more. (BTW, this is still my first draft of this text....it probably sucks...and it's old...so there are some outdated details, things I have changed elsewhere in the text but not here) :
"They reached the small brook he had sat at earlier and the fox girl, realizing they had come to their destination, sat down gracefully on the springy moss. He was about to sheath his sword and do the same but the blade caught his eye. It was streaked with more wolf blood. He grimaced and knelt by the stream to wash it off. The blood streamed off from the weapon, mingling with the fresh spring water, weaving in ribbons and tendrils to dissipate downstream. Once he was satisfied that the red stains had all washed from the cold steel he dried it hastily on the green moss before finally sheathing it. He glanced behind him at the girl. She hadn’t moved from the spot where she sat and was gazing at him evenly. Uncertainly he sat down facing her. Now that he had washed the blood off and was away from the pile of corpses he felt a lot better. “Sorry,” he murmured, staring down at the ground, nervously picking bits of grass. He still hadn’t completely caught his breath. He finally composed himself enough to remember his manners. “Are you all right?” he asked, looking up at her again. He noticed that her arm and leg were streaked with blood. “You’re hurt,” he said worriedly.
“Oh,” she realized, reflexively grasping her upper arm, examining it. “It’s not that bad, it barely got its teeth into me. It should be fine if I clean it out, it probably won’t even scar,” she shrugged, she didn’t appear to be in pain or bothered by it at all. “You’re hurt too you know,” she said, grinning, motioning to his right forearm. Katsu scoffed disbelievingly before checking to confirm what she said. He really wished he hadn’t, it was a bloody mess, the teeth marks deep. Suddenly he felt very faint. Now that the excitement of the battle had worn of he could feel the pain. He held his breath, trying to keep a straight face. He’d never suffered any injury greater than tripping and skinning his knees, and this was significantly worse. He couldn’t let her think that just a stupid wolf bite would bother him. She obviously caught the look on his face, he didn’t seem to hiding his pain very well, because she dropped her smile. He watched her edge foreword cautiously from the side of his vision, not daring to face the embarrassment of letting her see his face. Without asking she grabbed his arm, examining it intently. He flinched at her touch.
“Well, it’s worse than mine, I’ll give you that, but it’s nothing you’re going to die over,” Katsu didn’t know which was worse, the pain or the humiliation.
She pulled him to his feet and dragged him over to the spring again to wash it off. He didn’t bother to resist but winced at the feel of the ice-cold water against the wound. Once she was satisfied she opened the bag that she wore slung over her shoulder and pulled out a bottle of liquid and some bandages. She uncorked the bottle and poured some on the wound. Katsu winced at the sting, trying to keep his mind on something else. He realized he didn’t even know the girl’s name. “I’m Katsu,” he said. No need formalities here, if she didn’t know who he was then that was all the better.
She smiled brightly, amber eyes sparkling. “I’m Tez,” she stated, now methodically bandaging his arm. “Thanks for saving me. I guess I was about to become lunch.” She tried nervously to laugh the whole ordeal off. “Er, so, where did you learn to use a sword so well?”
The question caught him off guard; it was so obvious, and so strange coming from her.
“Uh, my brother,” he said simply. She seemed rather impressed and interested, but Katsu didn’t really feel proud at all. He had always waited for, wanted the opportunity to fight something, prove his worth, but now he head, it wasn’t all that great. He even felt bad for the wolves, all they had wanted was food, and though he did not necessarily agree with their means of getting it, they had been killed for it. Not that he felt bad for saving Tez, that was something that he would never regret. Regardless, he shuddered at the thought—the power he had, and had used, to take a life.
“There!” Tez announced, finishing with his arm. Her voice pulled Katsu from his thoughts. “You’ll be fine,” she said almost sarcastically, smiling her wonderful smile again.
“Thanks,” he acknowledged. He thought for a moment before speaking again, trying to make polite conversation. “So…you just carry that bag around with you? It’s like you’re expecting to get hurt.” he couldn’t resist noting.
She laughed. “No! I usually take better care of myself than that! Geez, you say it like I’m some sort of accident waiting to happen! No, I’m training to be a doctor, that’s all.”
“Why?” Katsu asked, he was apparently missing something here, something she felt was very obvious. She seemed a bit young for that.
“Oh, come on!” she rolled her eyes sarcastically, “Everyone knows!” She stared at him imploringly as if waiting for him to realize some apparent truth. She waited expectantly for a moment before giving up, obviously the boy knew nothing. “Most of the foxes are doctors. It’s not something super special.”
Katsu mentally cursed himself for not paying more attention to his teachers, he should have remembered something so obvious, no matter how much he hated politics. “Wait,” he said, trying to shift the focus of the conversation, hiding his embarrassment, “then why were you fighting wolves to the death? That doesn’t seem very doctor-like to me.”
“Because I felt like it,” she grinned, “I just didn’t know there would be so many.” Even though she made the comment jokingly, it didn’t seem as though it was the complete truth.
“Wolves hunt in packs, everyone knows!” He challenged, grinning.
“I did, everyone does,” Tez replied quickly, sounding overly defensive.
“So then why?”
She shook her head, evidently she didn’t want to talk about it. And, as much as he would have like to know, he didn’t push the matter. He looked nervously up at the sky. The sun was starting to set, if he left now he still might be able to slip back home before dark. Hopefully no one had noticed his absence. She had seemed to notice the same thing. “How far away do you live?” he asked, “If you want, I can walk you home.” He felt somehow obligated. And besides, it wouldn’t be good if she ran into trouble again. Now that he had helped her out once he felt compelled to ensure her continued safety.
“No, that’s okay, I live pretty far away. I’m sure there aren’t many wolves left now, I should be fine.” He nodded, and they bid each other farewell.
“Say, will I ever see you again?” he couldn’t help but ask. He was embarrassed he had said anything, but he still meant it.
“I would say so. How about tomorrow?” He hadn’t exactly been expecting that, but he was fine with it.
“Sure! See you then!”"
Wow....if anyone read all that....you're beyond amazing.]]>Ice Wolf by Bladeurn:uuid:f1b0c4c4-b521-2994-6a25-ce20ea5ee0592008-04-12T10:21:46-07:00This was a really quick comish for someone on Gaia.
Yep, not to much to say here.]]>Lost- Animation 2 by Bladeurn:uuid:2d38afdc-58b2-3279-6f53-1718a00733322008-04-12T10:19:37-07:00Only half of what I expected to do.

Um, not too much to say here.
I decided to change a few things on his design. He now has yellow eyes (like Katsu, or more accurately, like a tiger) and he doesn't have a stripe on his nose anymore, because that never looks right when I draw it.
But yeah...I feel like this is a significant improvement from last year, like everything else.]]>Lost- Movie Poster 2 by Bladeurn:uuid:acc233bb-2482-170b-9757-9c5dc3e54fba2008-04-11T19:04:53-07:00Man, this one was so much harder to do! It took me all day, at least a good 8 hours. XP
I wanted to make the characters look like they do when I animate them in flash, and that, for me, is hard in Photoshop. I find it much easer to not draw solid outlines on the computer, it is so hard to get lines neat and straight. I love loose strokes and being able to be sloppy (I think I get it from my impresionist artist grandparents). Yeah, this was like a nightmare and extremem excersise in dicipline for me.
So yay! First time I've drawn Kai in a feasibly animatible style. He looks so menacing, all glarey and emo in the front.
So I bet you're wondering where there are antlers eah? No, Katsu is not secretly a jackalope. (rats...and I was so hoping he was) Well....hmmm...I suppose I can say it seeing as I'm in the middle of auditioning people for the part. The main villain is Wapasha, a deer. How cute! (not really though)]]>Lost- Movie Poster 1 by Bladeurn:uuid:0357431d-7b56-f623-51f1-ff39ceedfa992008-04-11T18:41:19-07:00And yay! A movie poster! I feel so official. O.o Kinda...not really....
Anyway, not much to say here. This is just recycled images from various animations. Though I like how it looks. Of the two I made, this was the easiest, and it's my favorite.
In case you're wondering, the character is Katsu. my OC.
I actually have a giant poster sized print of this, it's pretty snazzy. :D]]>Katsu-Costume3 by Bladeurn:uuid:088dd638-1085-0709-a590-5d9a75f0fe4e2008-04-11T18:30:39-07:00This was a concept sketch I had to do before I could animate the scene I did.
Haha, I figured I'd leave all my random writing on the left. I have a tendancy to grafiti over my pictures. Yeah... The picture of him sitting down was just for fun. When I was drawing it, my sister asked if I was drawing the guy from Panic! At the Disco, more specifically the one from the music video for I Write Sins, Not Tragedies. I played along long enough to make him sing it. Dang, I wish I could hear Katsu sing that song...XD
Anyway, this is not a very good picture. I quickly drew it as a reference a few months ago. I know I could do a lot better now if I tried. Oh well. I think the only real thing I like out of this is his hair.
I'm sure you all want to know why Katsu isn't wearing his usual rediclous blue outfit.
Well, rather early on in the story, he's kinda in the middle of a clothes...shortage, as one often is after nearly being killed. Luckily he's about the same size as Kai, so he borrow's his. And so, for at least five chapters he wears Kai's clothes.
This was something that I wrote in, without ever really imagineing what it would look like, and when it came to drawing it, at first, I really didn't know what to do. He couldn't look just like Kai, and Kai certainly didn't only have the same set of shirts and vests. Also, Katsu's personality in comparison's with kai's had to be considered. He would have to dress with his own flair.]]>Tez- V2 by Bladeurn:uuid:b11689fb-45dc-9a90-481d-ef95c683636b2008-04-10T21:25:52-07:00So, I redrew Tez a while ago, and totally forgot to finish coloring her to post her. Haha, even now I look at this and feel I could do better, though this still looks better than her original version: http://bladesfire.deviantart.com/art/Lost-Tez-Char-Sketch-53304117
For more on her, visit that link.
So let's see here, what more can I say about her that I haven't before....
Oh, what she is doing at the time the story takes place!
So, when the story begins, she and Kai are an item. Which is kind of a bummer for Katsu, who is actually not dead. Ops!. So, Tez is suddenly forced in a sense to choose betwen the two of them. When Katsu leaves her for a second time she finds that she's just not willing to let him go again and follows him. She dosen't get too far though and gets kidnapped by Frost. Which sounds pathetic, but, even though she's a great fighter, no one on their own stands a chance against a pack of wolves and their captain. Tez is not the sort to play the princess trapped by the evil villian in a castle, waiting for her hero. But she gets stuck between a choice of morals and escapeing. Also, at this point she finds out the truth about Katsu, who he was, and who he is. If she continues on as she has been, she's going to find herself caught up in the bloodiest war history has ever known....
Wow, those last few sentances sounded like the back of a book...a cheesy book. Lol.
Oh, and the pictures on the sides were a bit of an excuse to draw her with her hair up. I was thinking about how long hair really gets in the way back when I was writing an earlier chapter, and how she had probably better tie it up least she get it bloody...O.o I mean, getting your hair in food while cooking is one thing...getting your hair in....ok, I'm going to stop there, 'cause that's just disgusting. Let's just say that she definately ties her hair up while working.
Tez is totally 100% copyright me....character design, description and all.]]>Wilhelm by Bladeurn:uuid:f4b2b07a-61e0-5fc0-563f-2eb31b5a58902008-04-10T21:22:25-07:00Edit: Brighter flame, blended a bit more
Yet another commission from Gaia. Once again, this order is from like half a year ago.
I have had the worst of luck with this one too. To begin with, it was one of those pictures I could not seem to get right. (It's why I haven't finished Zoe's picture yet, which I am still working on and still trying to make look good)
Anyway, this was try number seven. No lie. Of those other six tries, only two remain. They were garbage. I lost two when my computer got a virus, and the other two when the power went out. Wow.
So then I got to this one. It was my seventh time drawing the same thing, so I figured I would try something new for a change. I was going crazy blending skin tones and started doodleing, sketching everything in with black. Then out of boredom I smeared it out into shadows. Then I realized it didn't look too bad. What if I tried putting color on another layer with a different setting? Tada! It works so well, I 'm definitely going to do this again.
Honestly, I have never drawn something so realistic so easily. Now that said, I do recognize problems with this. I would appreciate critique if you have some to offer, but there are a few things I just stopped fretting about as I was drawing and still have problems with. Oh wellz.
Anyway, as with most commissions, this is not my character. Wilhelm belongs to Duality --BlackJack-- on Gaia.]]>Lost- Animation 1 by Bladeurn:uuid:7ecd6e2b-1c51-97c9-2573-e9221b12b0d82008-04-10T21:14:21-07:00EXCUSES:
Um...as you can probably tell, this is rather unfinished right now. Bleh.
The thing it needs most is a preloader. Um...I'm not going to program one tonight, but I most likely will in the near future.
Ok, so, due to my lack of voice actors there is no spoken dialogue here and I had to result to lame subtitles. Sorry. In case you can't figure it out, Katsu speaks in blue, Tez in orange.
Also I'm having trouble getting the animation to run smoothly. I will be working to fix that, but once again a bit later. I think the crazy amount of detail is what's slowing it down so much.
CONTEXT:
Anyway, for anyone who doesn’t know, this is a scene from Lost (my wannabe novel/manga/anime). Or more specifically part of a scene. I will most likely continue it.
This takes place somewhere around chapter four or five in the novel. Sorry, there's not much to it yet, but the plot does pick up, rather unexpectedly at that.
Anyway, this was at least four solid days of work. I pushed flash and my computer to their limits, you have no idea how many times I had to restart both.
If you've followed my art enough you can probably start to piece things together. This scene gets pretty trippy (or I should say will get, when I finish it) and has some rather plot important events.
I must say I have never animated anything at this quality before, and it is quite difficult. As it is I could still stand to make it better, and probably eventually will do so. I mean, they don't have faces in a few frames for heaven's sake!]]>Lost-Screenshot City by Bladeurn:uuid:1383fe06-71e4-e1e0-3551-b02d5ed209172008-01-30T23:28:35-08:00HOmAIGosh. XP
Do you have any idea how long it took me to draw that ridiculous city? 7+ hrs. You'd better enjoy it. ^.~
I promise there will be detail shots of it.
I discovered something while I was drawing this.
You can only have so much detail in one layer before flash goes insane and blows up. That was not a nice thing to learn.
This single shot is 17 layers in flash. The worst by far is the infamous "Layer 15" where the castle resides. There is so much detail in it, it takes it five minutes to register anything I do on that layer.
I am also now in love with the "paint behind" option Flash has.
Anyway, this is probably quite different from everything you've seen from Lost this far. First off, I drew a background. Wow!
To sum things up, this picture is an excellent explanation of why Katsu should have never been king. >:3
The character in the foreground is Katsu btw. Where is his usual ridiculously colored garb you may wonder? Well, it doesn't exist at this point in time, almost being killed doesn't do good things for your clothes. Luckily he fits into Kai's.
If you're wondering what all the dot stuff in the background is...it's ash and ember. For some reason (which I shan't reveal quite yet) it perpetually rains ash in this one location, yet the city will never be buried in it. Nothing grows here and never will.
Oh, and there's a few interesting things to notice here, they're fairly obvious, but they're definite hints about a major plot point. >:3
This is part of the scene I am currently animating. It's from approximately chapter four or five in the book. You'll find out more about this later. ]]>Lost-Alice-Char Sketch by Bladeurn:uuid:e37ef11d-9518-d667-ccf5-215bd20bb0a12008-01-30T23:09:45-08:00Yay for Alice!
See, Alice's main problem is that she is dead. :3
Ok, so back story time!
Alice is Kai's little sister. They were really close. Anyway, she was always sickly, but there was never anything their parents (both doctors) could do for her. Kai got really upset about this one day when he was rather young and decided he'd be a better doctor than both of them and save Alice.
Eventually their parents left to go help out with the war and only Kai was left to look over her. However, most of his time was spent studying or at work. To make up for it he would often bring her home presents, stuffed animals, clothes, whatever she wanted or might possibly want.
Though one night when she is about 15ish she leaves, for reasons he doesn't find out for quite a while and I would consider too spoilerish to put in a character discription.
Kai goes running after her, finds her with some creepy wolf dude, fights him off and rushes back to his sister. While she is physically unharmed by what just happened her sickness is much worse. Kai, compeletly unaware of his own injuries carries her to the hospital as fast as he can, but it's too late for her, and almost too late for him. She dies, which, when Kai finds out, depresses him to the point of suicide. (though he doesn't succeed). Which is where Tez comes into the picture and things stop having to do with Alice.
Though Kai never forgets about her and stealing a certain book from Dr. Kuro (the doctor he was working as an intern under and eventually adoptive father) he starts reading about magic and getting ideas...
Anyway, years later Katsu can see Alice, which does two things, drives Kai absolutely insane, then makes him believe Katsu about the whole ghost thing.
Kai can't see her until he tries to bring her back to life...
Anyway, as you can see, poor Alice is really there for the sake of Kai's character. Sorry Alice!
Her name came to me out of the blue one morning. I woke up and thought "I really like the name Alice" so that's her name. I wasn't even considering Alice in wonderland, or Alice from Twilight. Ops.
Her costume is very Lolita inspired. I must admit, I have always loved the look. Though I can never draw it. >.<
Oh, and I was having so much trouble with her colors. Based off of the above discription, if any one of you feels like you want to recolor her with colors you feel would be sutable be my guest! I really would not mind some help.]]>Snow by Bladeurn:uuid:da095d45-d14f-e288-c3f7-26d1553575942008-01-30T23:06:39-08:00Well, I felt like drawing in the car for the first time in a long time yesterday. I wanted to draw snow...
Who knows if I'll color it and finalize it or not, it was a fun way to pass the time though.
Anyway, this is what would happen if you put my characters outside in the snow.
Sabire is the lucky sort of ghost that can acutally make a snow angel.
Then there's Kai and Alice. Which reminds me...I still need to post her character picture. Anyway, being dead allows Alice to jump and float like she is doing.
And then there's Katsu and Tez. At first that scene was Katsu being pegged in the head with a snowball, but I couldn't draw that so small, it didn't read well, so now it's different. Regardless, Tez would win in a snowball fight. XD
*sigh* I wish it would snow...
Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone! ]]>Kai V2 by Bladeurn:uuid:7bed87bb-1257-889f-aa71-139cc9214b1a2007-12-11T17:02:45-08:00Of everyone, Kai really needed a redraw the most. He still doesn't look nearly as good as he should, but oh well. At least he looks older and whatnot.
No, there are not two Kai's. Spiritual cookie for anyone who can guess why I might have drawn two, I have at least three reasons. :3
Lol, apparently he's one of those guys that enjoys posing with every inanimate object he comes across, like John Smith! (sry inside joke, but honestly...the man is always posing on random rocks)
He is so uncolorful! Ah well, I suppose it's his personality. Alice makes up for it. Once I figure out how in the heck I am going to color her you'll see what I mean.
And man, he really contrasts with Katsu. It makes sense that would happen, but that is going to be irritating later on.
And he looks double plus emo. Grah. Oh well, I guess he kinda is. Though I would be emo too if I was him. At least he does not have see through hair like earlier. XP

Wow, it scares me how much my art has changed in only half a years time. O.o]]>Katsu V2 by Bladeurn:uuid:dee59c1d-e4b4-9955-833c-e797796f66d12007-12-11T16:48:48-08:00Just me playing around with costumes to see what I can come up with.
If you want to know why he has a tail, it's because I can. He doesn't usually have a tail.
Anyway, not much to say about this, except that this is his more wintry garb. Yay.
And the original version. *semi shudder* He got so uncolorful in comparison! And older too. Yes! Cookie to Sil for that one. :3 http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-574509.html]]>Gaia Comish- Kitsune Angel by Bladeurn:uuid:a8a07fef-ddae-fe33-320e-554d7278699e2007-11-22T11:21:23-08:00Not my character.

Once again, this is a comission from Gaia.
The power went out twice when I was doing this, ick, but at least I saved a lot.
And I figured out a new way to do fur quickly! Whoot!
I wont be useing it for things I draw for myself, but it works for comissions. :3]]>Roll Playing by Bladeurn:uuid:6ba1d601-62f8-5dd8-e480-a713c91f39ab2007-11-22T11:09:37-08:00Roll Playing is what you do at the dinner table on Thanksgiving before the main meal is ready!
Complements of a friend's spelling mistake!
XD
And no, I do not consider this good art, just me having fun with limited time.
The kids weren't supposed to be anyone in particular at first...but then, they just happened to look kind of like...yeah, I'm sure you can guess. :3]]>Gaia Comish-Meling by Bladeurn:uuid:53a4cc5b-b8ac-86bb-2ad3-5160a58b6f3e2007-11-16T21:00:03-08:00Well, I haven't submitted anything in a while, so I figure I'll throw up some of the more interseting comissions I've done.
This is not my character.
Please note, I am working on contest prizes still. They are my priority.]]>Bertha- for Hei Bai by Bladeurn:uuid:eb4a23a7-034b-3925-49df-ac1bf382b9a22007-11-16T19:41:39-08:00Hei Bai's prize for 2nd place in my contest. :3
This is her character, "Smily Face" Bertha.
It's a really neat design, and only after I finished this picture, did I realize that she was facing the wrong way to see her simly face eye. Sorry Grey! >.<
Anyway, I was going for the quazi-realistic look, kinda keeping with the cartooneyness of One Piece.
I know I said I wouldn't do a background, but I got carried away. I doodled a picture on some paper a week ago, but I didn't like it, so I sat down today and drew this. It really looked like it needed a background, so tada! Background!
Anyway, I'm doing prizes in the order people tell me what they want. Only one other person has. So, the sooner you tell me, the faster you get your picture...*hinthint*]]>American Beaver Spirits by Bladeurn:uuid:f54cc37d-2e8f-31a7-dde7-9c54c7fb56482007-11-16T19:36:28-08:00The American Beaver Spirits are the guardians of the river. They can also be seen as Birch Sprites.
The female's name is Koko, Blackfoot for "Night"
The male (lighter one with headdress) is Yiska, Native American for "The Night has passed"
Both are vaguely based off the Native American Blackfoot tribe. It was the one tribe I could find with a legend about the Beaver. Their feathers are also vaguely baised off the same theme. Although, the Jay feathers are my own idea, as are the bead colors...I have a thing about Jay feathers.
I love Native American stuff, and am partialy Native American, so tada!
Beavers are my favorite animal. Kinda supriseing eah? So, I fugred it was about time I seriously drew some.
The fur was soooo hard and took sooo long, but I think it turned out all right in the end. It makes wolf fur seem like a joke.
Needless to say the scanner ate this. The colors near the two were originally in pencil, but the scanner made it look bad so I redid them in photoshop.]]>Wolfdramon 2.0 by LittleCloudurn:uuid:175775a5-8da7-bfe0-a6bd-6562ae9099802007-09-10T11:44:17-07:00A second try at Wolfdramon, and also a gift for his Tamer, PunkWolfGirl
I couldn't shade this because my pen tool wasn't working. I think it looks okay as it is, but I would have liked to have color the outline (didn't look good anyways because of the thick outline).
Ok, now that that is out of the way, an expliantion:
This page is a few pages after the last one I submitted. I just didn't feel like drawing those pages...yeah. So I skipped ahead to where things get interesting.
And Enter Tez. Tez is pretty gnarly, she's not as good as Katsu in a fight (even when he can't use one arm), but she's definately going to give those wolves a run for their money, and quite a few broken bones.
So, if you're confused about what Tez says in the last part, let's just say that getting into fights was an old "hobby" of theirs quite a few years ago when Katsu was still king and shirking his duties and Tez was still training to be a doctor, and they were madly in love.
And it looks like they've attracted a crowd. I suppose this is the closest thing to entertainment the foxes have. And incidentially, guess which part took the longest to draw? XP
So yes, those are all foxes back there. There are only five wolves right now. You can see three, the other two are in front of Katsu and Tez, I was thinking of drawing them in, but it covered too much of the two.
Anyway, behold! I have attempted to make things more interesting and switch up the angles...and use foreshortening...it sometimes worked like I wanted it to. Like the first panel, I actually am happy with that one. Yay!
This scene originally took place at night, but I don't want to draw that, so the novel and manga can be different. (It's just way too hard in pencil or in ink, espically with all the background detail)
And please, as before, constructive crit! That's why this is in pencil! Thanks!]]>Loat-ch4-page whoknowswhat by Bladeurn:uuid:7d1747de-7c86-d6f2-db14-8a95c8484f4e2007-08-22T18:43:34-07:00Ta da! More Lost manga! Gasp! It's been over a year since I've drawn one of these, and I can actually bear to look at this art without wanting to puke! Yay!
And there will be at least two more pages of this in the way too near future.
Well, I just skipped over three chapters from where I last left off! Horay!
So to catch you up: Katsu gets owned by Kumori, Tez saves him, and there are a whole bunch of small plot points building up to something big, but thats fiftyish pages of text that I'd have to tell you about.
Anyway, the book is important, in fact, I bet this is confusing to everyone but me. So, if you have a question, go ahead and ask, I probably know the answer.
The fox here is just some random kid, I think I'll name him Sam. He's rather unimportant, he does like, two things that actually effect the plot. He was supposed to be someone different, but I decided I couldn't draw as well as I can imagine, so, random boy!
Anyway, I wanted to draw something with Frost, so here's the first scene with him. This is totally in the middle of a chapter too, sry about that.
I guess Katsu is too good for a shirt today. Actually, he just forgot to put one on. Seriously. Talk to the ghost cat. I don't like drawing people without shirts, then I have to deal with more anatomy...grrrr....why do I do this to myself? And he's wearing Kai's pants. Lol.
Yes, I do actually know how hard it is to hold a sword with one hand. No, I don't care to deal with the realism of this. And Katsu can probably manage it, he's pretty buff anyway. He couldn't use his right arm if he wanted to (BTW he is left handed, so it's less of a problem.)
Oh, and this is my first draft, I still have to ink it, I'm putting it up now because I want you all to tell me whats wrong with it before I do so.
Constructive Crit is much loved.]]>An Apple A Day... by Bladeurn:uuid:b80843b5-e591-f47b-9744-0ad1c77f5d3a2007-08-21T20:37:56-07:00Don't you wish Katsu....
*in case you can't tell, he's holding an apple*
I suppose this only makes sense if you know Tez is a doctor. lol.
And lets just say that Katsu shares my dislike for doctors...the only thing worse is a dentist. ^.~
*sigh* if only that worked, T.T For one small moment in my life I believed that once, but my mom quickly let me know that no apple would ever save me...
I got tired of doing homework and decided to doodle instead, yep.
Tez was originally going to say "What do you take me for, a vampire?" But it seemed a bit confusing, so yep, it's this.
I also like the idea of her saying "Nice try."
Now in color! Behold my cheap 1hr coloring job!]]>Doctor! by Bladeurn:uuid:34484473-91b1-9620-16a6-a3f9f1aa32b22007-08-18T09:12:45-07:00*cough* er....yes, I admit, I have been playing too much Trauma Center. It's such a good game, but soooo hard. I can't beat the very last part of the last level! >.< Only in a game about doctors do you have to save the life of your final boss. Lol.
Anyway, just something silly I doodled while watching Black Jack...when I actually stoop to the level of being addicted to anime I like to make myself useful at least.
So here we have Tez acting like Angie. Purely because I find it amusing. I suppose the main difference is that Tez is a doctor as opposed to a nurse. Anyway, this is obviously a parody of Angie. Maybe I'll do one of Kai next. :3
