I haven't read the comic yet, so all I really know about him is what's on his MSPA wiki entry.]]>Gallows Song by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:c9e06139-a172-1bd4-2f8a-6cf43c3adf8f2011-10-07T19:36:38-07:00Welp, I'm not dead. I'm now a freshman at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, so I don't have too much free time for personal projects anymore. This piece is old...from February, I think?
A dead man reflects on the events that lead to his hanging. His song remains the last tie to his mortal life.
Based off one of my favorite songs, [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yUu7c5TBXs]"Galgasång"[/url] (for you metal-haters, don't worry. It's acoustic.) It's not really that complex: a man talks about his accomplishments, then about the graveyard where he now resides; singing his "gallows song". But it's sad, lonely, and touching in a way I didn't expect it to be.
(Here's the English translation, if you want it.)

I read a couple of the books back in June, and while they're super-kitchsy, and a solid example of how not to write (Elric is a champion whiner, pompous jerk and Gary Sue), his backstory is sort of interesting, in a "this-was-the-sixties-so-emo-exiled-prince-characters-were-still-newish" kind of way. And as cliche as a soul-stealing sword is, Stormbringer's still pretty cool. (Maybe it's just because it's basically the Kullervo story, but with elf-people. I don't know.)
The waves in the background are just part of Imryrr's crazy architecture. I figure that a place called "the dreaming city" would have some really weird walls in its palace.
And whoever did the cover art for the books when hey were published: waaaay too many instances of Elric in manties. Yuck.]]>Music by fire_master_skyeurn:uuid:44122882-27b2-969e-e41b-a28ac7cdbf102011-05-15T16:35:34-07:00Haven't drawn in ages, but I scratched this crap together. Kind of fun to use my colored pencils again, I have to say...]]>Liberator by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:4c161cd9-9bb9-59ee-e82a-8cfb15460c012010-06-25T19:21:46-07:00Okay, finally a new piece.
This guy - tentatively named Qur, because q's are hip - is also part of that mythology I've been working on, and is the opponent of the sun woman I've painted a few times.
I'm not sure what he's doing with his hands. Sorry...]]>Stonebearer by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:81d4e3ac-235e-b41b-a48d-d2e440d7b2b12010-06-05T17:11:14-07:00Sorry for not uploading. I don't really use FAC much anymore.
Drawn to Moonsorrow's "Kivenkantaja".

He turned out a bit girly.
A remake of an older picture. There's a bunch of stuff behind this character, but I'm going to sound stupid explaining them in a lot of detail. Basically, her name's Nen - she's the incarnation or embodiment of whatever force keeps the earth turning, and she has to walk the world to keep it moving. Her body continues to wear out, but she still keeps going (Quick, everyone ignore the fact that this is a lame idea!) The mini-earth she's holding is probably a symbol or something.
Originally, ie in ninth grade, I called her the Earthwalker, but that's also pretty lame. Sigh, thirteen-year-old me.
I was trying to approach this better than the last picture of her; she's supposed to be eleven or twelve, and very tired and haunted-looking. The first one did better with the atmosphere but the actual drawing didn't fit well. It also didn't really get her round eyes and general exhaustion with eternally walking. Now I just need to get all the aspects together...
Also, I have the phrase "on her face is a map of the world" stuck in my head, but that sounds awfully pretentious as a title. Where's it from, anyway? My google-fu is lacking.
Edit: I really appreciate the feature. Thank you :)]]>Silver the human by Hybridurn:uuid:98cf7465-0a60-e1b4-260d-ca7c9d1a2aa82009-10-06T17:08:52-07:00A really really gay version of Silver. but done with pencils and shading and stuff. Made before I really knew what I was doing with pencil. Third in a series of "I'm not dead" images.]]>NiGHTS into Derp by Hybridurn:uuid:71919e4e-92d7-6132-99bc-af633618a99c2009-10-06T16:38:47-07:00Redisign of NiGHTS from NiGHTS into Dreams.

Based off the infamous "Black-Eyed Boy" story]]>Stars - 100 TC by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:94d624c4-a101-752f-a6cb-d15c3fc4389a2009-09-12T09:22:37-07:00Alternately "Starcatcher".]]>Light - 100 TC by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:04cbbc14-f364-3fa8-2a06-35c5ed273cd22009-08-12T18:58:40-07:00Some sort of tiny creature finding a use for old books.]]>Marble by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:95abe6f4-9c6f-16f0-5e05-5c3bcfbc578f2009-07-28T19:17:46-07:00Another thing from art camp.

The Moomba inspiration came from him playing FFX and using Lulu's Moomba doll, and commenting on how adorable it was.
Thus was born a spikey haired characters cuddle session. ^_^
I love how much Zack seems to be enjoying it, while Moomba seems tired and less than thrilled with being held onto like a plushie. Hehe.
Enjoy!]]>Wash and Church slash by Emeraldwolfurn:uuid:69ae3e20-19de-98dc-5d59-6f3594a3e5ca2009-06-12T08:28:26-07:00I love how Church came out in that first picture. I also really like Wash, who doesn't seem pleased with how I keep making his bangs longer and shaggier.
The kiss on the right is partly referenced from a doujinshi. Mostly just for the mouth/lip line on the first and last.
I realized afterwards that in the kiss scene I made Wash's hair way too long where it falls over his ear. It looks more like Grif's hair length. >_< Ah well, I'll have to remember to differentiate between them when I draw them.]]>Colored Digivolving pic by Emeraldwolfurn:uuid:4e675f70-4760-7090-ae6f-1a2e08adfbb42009-06-12T08:22:01-07:00Just the colored version of the picture I just posted of Tai and Agumon.
Go Agumon, go digivolve! ^_^]]>Tai and Agumon by Emeraldwolfurn:uuid:865e038d-1fa3-dc0f-2f99-32ab57cb723d2009-06-11T19:23:11-07:00^_^ I know its a fairly quick sketch, and I totally copied most of Agumon (I such at drawing Digimon), but I love this picture for the way Tai came out.
Especially his hair and epic hand motioning, since I freehanded it with no references and liked the way it came out on the first time through.
So its not a polished picture, but I still like it. I'm gonna upload the colored version as well, cause I'm not sure which I prefer more.]]>Spidey and Venom by Emeraldwolfurn:uuid:926fb65d-3942-d64e-4bc9-9c35ef9b98c82009-06-11T19:20:12-07:00Gotta love Spidey and Venom. Done with no references, hence Spidey's awkward upside down swinging status.
Love Venom's tongue. Always have. Always will. ^_^]]>The General by Emeraldwolfurn:uuid:a1eefb7d-8cf9-48cd-1215-73e2a2ca65b02009-06-11T19:18:30-07:00So a friend of mine named Ray watched Advent Children for the first time the other day. He is now mildly obsessed with Sephiroth and wants to be the General.
And I hadn't drawn him anything yet, so I figured what the hell, I haven't drawn Sephy in a while. ^_^ So there you go.
Ignore the faked background. I hate it, but I was way too busy with work to make a real one.]]>Moonbeam Creatures by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:d1af9cfa-42d9-b3f3-23f5-cdb3dcc38dc92009-05-31T10:15:41-07:00Haven't been here in a while.

Early on in the book, there are two trees; one that gives off golden light, and one that gives off silver. They're more or less the primordial sun and moon.
Eventually, the trees are destroyed. However, before that happens, an elven smith (Fëanor) seals a tiny bit of their light in three jewels, called the silmarils. These end up being the last remnants of the light of the trees, and a war begins over them, partially due to Fëanor's own greed.
Sorry, I rushed this far too much...I just wanted to upload something.

Sorry.
And yes, the collar of that shirt is loose, and was off to the side when I was drawing it. My ribcage isn't coming out of my armpit.
Yeah, it's a little on the creepy side (STARING EYES), but it's actually pretty close to me in real life.]]>Sketch dump 3 by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:5e0ecd34-f971-1db7-1224-ad0f4efc363e2009-01-18T10:04:17-08:001. Girl drawn to "Egil Saga" by Faun. Amaaaazing song, lemmee tell ya.
(By the way, has anyone else here read the actual saga? I'd love to nerd over it with you ;))
2. Sibling of #3 on Sketch dump 2.
3. Zombie!
4. I wanted to draw a creepy woman with an attractive body. Kind like a mixed message of sorts. She reminds me of Kisame, face-wise.
5. My character, Riv, making a really dumb face. Tee hee.]]>Hippie Drow by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:abfe3492-e965-6432-dab7-92df8d4de99f2009-01-09T18:15:19-08:00Birthday present for a friend, who also came up with the title. She wanted something "psychadellic", soo...yeah.

So, uh, I finished Sandman a few weeks ago. That ending was pretty unexpected, but really intense. And the flashbacks afterwards (The Tempest, oh my goddddd) only made it better.
I'm uploading this just because I think it looks good :/]]>Secret santa by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:c47d00ca-1644-08f8-9a3a-5b79341a7fb02008-12-25T18:13:30-08:00Part of a secret santa.

Through some incredible stroke of luck, I ended up with someone who is(as far as I can tell) a published comic artist. Whew!
He asked for a drawing of Heath Ledger as the Joker. Definately not something I normally would have drawn, but here it is.

A lot of the black lines on there are from the original sketch, which is here.
(I'm not super well-versed in Greek mythology, so please forgive me if Hermes isn't the messenger / caduceus-bearer / winged sandal guy.)]]>Speedpaint video by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:e2c77991-c03e-4073-7185-86244b3fff802008-12-11T12:39:54-08:00Donwnload here: http://rapidshare.com/files/172489627/Riv_painting_movie.wmv

This is a video I did over the summer. Just a quick painting. The final image can be found here. It's not quite as refined as what I normally do, but I had to make this quick and watchable.
This is my first time doing something like this, let me know what you think
Also, I think the video got a bit squished somehow, sorry about that. It's still watchable.]]>Queen ofHearts chibi by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:e0ce18e9-ce60-54e4-b47a-4542bbea212f2008-12-06T17:26:21-08:00Prize for a dA contest.]]>Tek by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:0a2a1d6b-daa0-bdd5-13ae-cdd4225ec2382008-12-02T19:01:47-08:00Err, second attempt at a basic portrait-thing. i'm trying to figure out the basics...same character as in my icon. One day, maybe I'll even draw something with an expression!
Hurr hurr hurr.
I actually did the sketch for this in pen on my history notes -- the teacher wasn't too pleased about that.
Any crit would be seriously appreciated, as well as tips on the hair. I need to break myself of this spiky manga crap.]]>Evil Ernie by mangacheese1818urn:uuid:9dcf6a77-a199-ff29-b5c2-f477b56b00492008-11-30T12:54:03-08:00I've got like a million pieces going right now. Still alive here.
