I tested my skills at this by making a 1024x768 wallpaper for each character. Each one took me from 4 to 5 hours to complete. Enjoy!
For those who are wondering why I marked the content as violent, it's only because of the action of the character. And for those who don't know about this game, this action is the way to summon their Persona (or GForce, Aeon etc like in FF series). Weird isn't it?]]>Persona 3 Fuuka by Swayurn:uuid:d922b829-4d0a-a4d5-5126-988ba96febe42008-06-15T10:37:47-07:00Well, I'm coming back with some illustrator artwork of the Shin megami tensei game, Persona 3.

We had to pick a center of attraction and detail around it so I chose the hand, which is not pretty good I think.

illustration to my Dark Kingdom Sailor Moon fanfic I am working on. <br />
There's a lot of symbolism in this piece, a light within the darkness, one voice among many others. Power of Kareokee. Read whatever you like into it. <br />
<br />
What I especially like about this...is the smoky light effect on the central figure makes it look like a Led Zeppelin Jimmie Page fanart.<br />

A werewolf (Adrian Draconovich) loves a Vampiress (Rip Van Winkle) deeply, but when he loses her, he takes comfort by her grave in a bottle of Absinthe. He sees 'her' and talks of fond memories and recent times. However...the interesting part of this picture is....is he talking to her ghost...or an illusion of the alcohol?<br />
<br />
Based off the role play at www.bloodknight.net<br />
<br />
Rip Van Winkle is a female...and a character from the manga...which contains a similar storline to the Anime until a point, then branches off to something seperate...and deeper.]]>3 ligns drawing by Swayurn:uuid:cdd6d225-3b2a-0360-0494-5e2435cfb1a12004-03-30T02:33:50-08:00here some little sketches I made for fun with a friend! these are weird things made of only three ligns you can see in purple!

From an online Hellsing rp forum there is a scene where Rip Van Winkle takes the top part of this poor lous's wetsuit off so she can carve her initials into his back. <br />

Nothing particularly outstanding, and from the absolute bottom of the Drow Society pecking order, he came above ground in search of a destiny ruled by himself...even if it is under the Sun. And there, he comes to meet a talented personable bard by the title of Sir Lawrence, or the great Larry. And so, he finds his calling. of course, by his capricious nature, Poison hasn't a chance of staying out of trouble. This is a pic showing the bard playing an ocarina, his first instrument and still favorite.<br />

He has always been a curiosity in my life, and I am currently in the works in creating a manga based off this wonderful Diety born of Hindu legends but tied to all beliefs. However, I alwaysd pictured him as bearing a mask of a hideous bird visage.

As in the Series, I carried the theme of prediminantly black and red in this piece made for poster sized print. <br />
Integral and Alucard were each originally sketched on seperate pages then each scanned in sperately and put togeather in Photoshop where all my toning and shading was done, as well as the creation of glasses, gun, and rosery. The Stained glass Arches were loads of fun to do as well as the moon...all planned and created in Photoshop.<br />
