3,2,1...Let's JAM!

'Ni hao!'

Probably my favourite character in the Guilty Gear series, Jam Kuradoberi (Cloudberry). I've wanted to draw this pic for a while, but it slipped my mind for a couple of months. Anyway, since I'm trying to practice the female form, I thought this'd be a great way to continue.

She Stands

She grew up in Hades. A tortured soul. A victim.
Every day, every night was spent shivering in a corner, or unconscious. Each time the shadows would nibble on her battered form, her will to live slowly ebbing away. There are no "how's", "where's" or "who's", in the darkness, only 'when'.

When will it end? When will it begin again?

The memories are a haze, but the pain still remains. Deep rooted like a huge scar across her mind, her physical scars are merely scratches in comparison.

She stands. Tall and strong like an Amazon, but mostly, she stands.

Gun Smoke

The world may not revolve around her, but the darkness does. The light in her path, brightens and dims, momentarily at oblique intervals, like a series of broken street lamps.
What is her purpose? What is her destiny?

These questions echo in the silence that surrounds her. Silence that is often only broken by the shower of gunfire.

She may not know the answers that she so adamantly seeks.

What she does know, however, is that gunpowder and oil are amongst her favourite fragrances.

Round 1 - FIGHT!!!

Found this sketch I'd done a few weeks back, which I completely forgot about. Anyway, I scanned it in and started painting it up last night. Just finished it now. Didn't take too long, so kinda pleased with that. Seems I'm cutting down on how long it takes me to normally paint up stuff ^.^

And, in case you're wondering, I only drew the upper torsos, and couldn't be buggered to draw the rest, 'cause I'm a lazy so-and-so

GET OVER HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGAAA.........
FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Justice Has A Name....

She watches the city, silently, like a spectre in the shadows. Her hair glides back and forth with the wind, as she closes her eyes, memorising the feeling of the trembling air.

She waits. Her now heightened sense of being straining for a sign of even the faintest tremor in the night.

And it comes. A scream across the river.

She readies herself.

Justice has a name...

All Hail, The New Prince

To celebrate the launch of the new Prince Of Persia game, Ubisoft held a competition on DeviantART for the UK. This was my entry. I won't win, considering all the grand entries, but I'd love it if I got a runner-up place, or something, for that small bit of recgonition...=P

The Prodigal Son...

Man, look at the date! It's almost a year since I posted up something here. Admittedly, I've been spending my time on my DeviantArt Page, and amidst other things.

I admit, I don't think anyone ever reads this blog, but having said that, is that why one writes a blog? I'm sure we all have our reasons, whether it be sharing your personal thoughts/feelings, sometimes anonymously, or merely having a place where you journalise your life's progression.

Originally, this blog was drawn up so that my tutors in Uni could keep an eye on my work, without me having to go in. Not just me, but everyone else in my class, too. I never really kept up with the idea, and after it served it's 'purpose' I forgot about it completely.

About almost 2 years later, I suddenly remembered I had this registered, and decided I might as well put this space to use, since I didn't really have anything else to do at the time. I was also inspired by a friend of mine to try and make an effort with this blog, since he would post up his work in his and write a bit about it.

I guess, I kinda hoped to emulate the 'success' of his blog, with all it's positive responses and sweet comments. Pretty shallow, huh? Thing is I couldn't have hoped for such a thing, since his art style is totally out of my league, and while I've spent some of my time trying to catch up to him, I really haven't gotten very far...

Till now.

Yesterday, I started up a new character who will become the centerpiece for my latest work. With her, I think I may have finally found the style, my stlye. It's a combination of other styles I've come across, but I'm gonna refine and make it mine. I'm gonna hone it and cultivate every stroke purposefully, deliberately and dilligently. Whether this goes unnoticed in the world, or not, doesn't matter to me anymore. It'd be nice to recognised for it. However, that's not why I started drawing in the first place. From when I was first able to pick up a a pencil, my thoughts, weren't 'what can I draw to please everyone.' It was to create and re-create images that pleased me, and me alone. Me, myself and I. Sound selfish? Should it? Should I care? Either way, I think I've been de-railed for long enough. It's time I set myself up, back on the right track, and pick up where I left off all those years ago.

I think I've finally realised what the purpose of this blog is. For me, anyway. It may even be the same reason why my friend began blogging in the first place. This blog, as it stands now, documents a small part of my growth, both artistically, and as a person. I pray from now on, it will continue to do so, beyond my success, because I WILL succeed in my hopes and aspirations.

I am human after all. ^_^

So much fun ^^

Scrabulous

I might scuffle, get ruffled, when I jump, I land in puddles,
I might not be whizz-ard, but I sure do like a rumble
I dibble, I dabble, solving riddles, that baffle
With my little motley crew, a group nicknamed 'The Rabble',
If I lose my bottle, I battle, I push the throttle, I rattle,
In a little home-made tank, that'll plow through herds of cattle,
Infallible,not like a cute and furry animal,
Bombard the enemy with a rush of Mana cannonballs,
Hi, Ho Silver, grab my saddle, you're up the creek without a paddle,
I'm the 'Spanner-Slingin' Kid', but my friends just call me Scrabble.

Hiryu vs Dante

The wind grew fiercer with each gust, blurring Hiryu's vision with shower upon shower of snowflakes. The cold air began to bite at his knuckles as he clenched his fists, his grip tightening on Cypher. His eyes narrowed as he focused on the man standing in front of him, seemingly unafflicted by the storm's growing intensity. The figure stood, stock still, his silhouette bathed crimson by his long, red coat, billowing behind him like a demon's tail. With his head bowed, slightly, he still towered in the distance, his face obscured by his white, neck-length hair whipping back and forth. In his right hand he held aloft a single double-edged broadsword, as tall as himself.

'Dare da?' called out Hiryu.

The man showed no response. The night grew colder still, the wind howling, as if in pain. Hiryu, began grow impatient. If he didn't make a move now, he'd freeze to death. He'd come too far to slow down. Time is of the essence, especially, with the completion of his mission so close. His decision made, he launched forward, sprinting through the snow towards the mysterious swordsman, Cypher still clenched firmly. As he closed in, Hiryu pounced upwards, bringing his blade across from his left. The stranger looked up at him, his piercing gaze locked on Hiryu in mid-flight.

'Ore wa Dante. Yoroshiku.', he smiled.

Yume

One of my first Si Scott inspired pieces. This was supposed to be the front cover for a short comic I was drawing last year. In the end I changed the character and had to put the comic on hold...actually it's still on hold. I will get back to it...once I've got my other pieces of work out of the way.

Volt

A sketch of the main protagonist, Volt, from a friend's comic, Siren. Still currently in production, you can find the link to the left under Project Siren, where you can find out more about the story and other characters.

Kuchiyose No Jutsu

One piece I just wanted to put up quickly. Inspired by *yeytofu's piece Dragon Servitor. Bit of the Si Scott style mixed in there too. Will eventually get around to colouring this one in too, but got a few other things on the go, so it might take a while. One day, I will actually finish a piece of art!I swear! T_T
