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!]]>STOP.

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.]]>Babylon Is Fallen_03 by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:9cade665-1642-4826-cedc-5fd6f445d0062012-06-29T21:21:47-07:00All her merchants stand with wonder,

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

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.]]>Lights Finally On by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:3a27c80a-fccc-f3b6-0f0a-3b1d37ab7cf12010-12-24T21:05:45-08:00Some more holiday antics with Riku and Sora.]]>KH2 Nutcracker Suite by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:54a00411-cfcd-61b8-27ea-3b5ceae6515c2010-12-24T21:03:44-08:00Riku, Sora, and Kairi portray characters from the famous ballet "The Nutcracker."]]>Chibi Tree Decorating by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:c4c890d6-fa53-2f32-6830-681aab5efc3f2010-12-24T21:00:41-08:00The anime cast gather to decorate the evergreen in a old Dickens fashion.]]>For You by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:3a313d91-7510-eefb-6f79-19223434b0662010-12-23T22:44:28-08:00Random OCs sharing Christmas cheer.]]>The Best Tree by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:47973be8-2125-003e-95e2-05bc261106d32010-12-23T22:42:24-08:00Here's Tamaki showing the best tree ever.]]>Anime Christmas Carol Ghosts by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:fea07206-9be9-c96c-f624-e91d11d44be92010-12-23T22:40:15-08:00Another crossover of "An Anime Christmas Carol"]]>Anime Christmas Carol Collage by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:f654c838-8dd0-af71-4b39-dbd7a45e4ebd2010-12-22T19:59:48-08:00Anime Christmas Carol.

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]]>Old Saying by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:7fc25d33-c46f-5376-4ffd-fc69f28376502010-09-04T23:22:22-07:00After over two years of being in storage, this comic has finally made its debut.]]>Redeeming Honor by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:a0382895-8e47-c2bc-7b45-db440de4e4f52010-09-04T23:20:06-07:00Naruto and Sasuke face off in an old fashioned pistol duel.

In the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard
Like the screamin' sound of a big war bird
Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron von Richthofen was his name
Eighty men tried, and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the countryside
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
Here is the clip. Comment if you are able.

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]]>A Final Glance by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:2bdb8db1-061c-cd43-6fec-a4434e6089652010-07-08T22:26:57-07:00Death knows no age...]]>You Are Sentenced by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:efeec342-3dc8-2e44-99ca-40093a527b2b2010-07-07T21:38:40-07:00"By order of the authority, abiding by the law of this town, you, the accused have been convicted of committing and indulging in adulterous acts with the fair ladies of this town and have dared to consistantly violate the boundaries of their purity and innocence, and at times, taking the diabolical liberty of deflowering them.

As you can see, things have changed in the outfit. New faces replace some old ones and ranks alter the soldier's role.

I am trying to keep the prestige of both historical accuracy and the anime genre. It is very difficult to keep both balanced.

To the Viewer,
While displayed at the Winter SacAnime this year, I encountered a gentleman who has been familiar and fond of my work for some time. He asked me to do a commission of the Naruto boys as members of the 442nd, which was a unit of Japanese American soldiers who participated in the European campaigns of the Second World War. From his description, he wanted Naruto armed with a Garand and fixed bayonet, Choji armed with an M3 Grease Gun, Shikamaru armed with a Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) with fixed bayonet, and Gaara with a bazooka. I did thorough research on how the soldiers looked and tried to get the uniforms as historically accurate as I possibly could. I think it turned out pretty well. However, there were a few snags I ran into while drawing this picture. First, the BAR bayonet was not in great demand and was rarely used. However, though I added that little detail, the scanner could not fit the entire picture. Second, just to enlighten the critics and Naruto fans, Shikamaru’s hair is tucked in his helmet, which is why you don’t see his distinguished hair style. And finally, though it was not a suggested feature on the side of the one who requested it, I also added Sasuke. He’s armed with a browning pistol and binoculars.
Just to let you know, that it took a great deal of time and effort on my part to create this picture. Therefore, I ask that you refrain from making any critical remarks. I also did this as a request and am in no way trying to insult the history of 442nd and the brave men who fought and died in its ranks. I find that perhaps this new generation can learn something of the unit’s history by seeing familiar characters in it. Thus, I beg you not to make any disgraceful or inappropriate remarks on this piece, the person who requested it, or on the artist. I do apologize for any insult or inaccuracy that this picture might have caused. Gramercy…
Most Sincere Apologies,
LordCavendish]]>More Short Jokes by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:24636d5f-65fe-27ad-d340-25c87097c98e2010-01-10T21:43:09-08:00And to think that Ed couldn't get anymore insulted by Roy.]]>Aggression by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:326b838d-8320-f95b-9a5c-8570e740af432010-01-02T22:38:46-08:00There are just some times when you have to take your anger out on something.]]>Anime Christmas Crossover by SeanHalnaisurn:uuid:8119d4e1-aa05-60b4-52f4-7a6da87d35de2009-12-24T20:49:07-08:00Merry Christmas to all!
