Hm, since a lot of other forum-going artists post their stuff up, I guess I can have a go.  Here's Savior Gray, a character some of you might recognize from the Samrick's Shindig thread. This was the first picture even drawn of her! I like it the best, too. Can you see how CTV has influenced my drawing of humans?  A long-time character of mine, Robin Goodfellow. Exalt to anyone who can tell me where the name came from! This is the other way I draw humans, as opposed to Gray above.  Look it's meee! I just drew this as a joke. I always cosplay guys and... welll... it makes it kinda hard to breath   Mmm. Artistic Necromancy. Old, but still one of my favorites!  Okay, okay, last one for now. Just put it on because THESE ARE SO DARN FUN TO DO! Kill a pen and take a week, but fun. It's and abstract staring Toki. He's a clockwork golem. Let's see how you like these. I may be tempted to post more! |

OOOH! These are really nice! You did an exceptional job on the bone creature. Bones are sooo hard to make look right and proportional. Really really good. yeah... I like it.

Huzzah! Oh, about the bones, I kinda had some help there ^^; I used some drawings in my Courney Crumrin and the Night Things book for the skull and a skeleton from a splash page in The Demon Ororon for the body. Still turned out too big, so I had it kneel! Yes, manga are good for much things. Scarecrow.... Uh.... what's this about a list? I's scared. Glad you liked it, though! Oh, I did come out good in that pic, didn't I? Only problem is, I color everything by hand. Using colored pencils. Sadly this means I have very few colored pictures around. Oh well. The choice is between color or a useable wrist |

I was thinking earlier about your art style! I've only drawn in your style for one piccy (see Ask A character) But it's greatly influenced how I draw animals.
So: You draw very well, and thank you.
Oh, and Scarecrow has a list of cool stuff. It's a good thing, I promise.

He's not the luck dragon, he's just some dragon... donkey.... thing. I thought he was squishy! Yeah, the scales were all by hand. Hey, you guys saw one of my four checkerboard drawings! Those are all by hand, using graph paper. Cool! I'm on Scare's cool list! And WOW! I'm influencing drawing styles? Nifty-neato. Frankly, I'm a long way from some of the masters. My style itself is strongly influenced by David Hopkins (he draws Jack and Rework the Dead), among others. And you can take him home! He's just hanging around right now, it was just a creature concept. So he's not my character or anything, you can have him if you want ^^ |

You have a really cool art style! I love the donkey-dragon.
(And Robin Goodfellow is from a Midsummer Night's Dream, I think. T'is Puck.)

Heh, just don't name him Smog!
Oh, and lazukas... yes, I do believe they refer to Puck as Robin Goodfellow. However, the legend goes beyond Shakespeare! According to the Encyclopedia of Things That Never Were, Robin Goodfellow is...
"A rare example of a child born to a fairy father and mortal mother and brought up in the world of humans... Oberon [tha fairy king and Robin's father] left Robin to his mother but gave him the power to change his shape whenever he needed to assist or punish mortals."
According to the book, he's still around, but civilization has pushed him back into the wilds of the English countryside. He's also got quite a few kids running around.
My Robin may be a descendent of this one, I'm not too sure. But he's completely different in temperment, and he's an "age mage," not a shapeshifter (means he can revert to the age he was when he experienced great trauma or change in his life).

 And here is a little comic based on actual occurances at my high school's anime club! See, we had a party where they served (non-alcoholic) jello shots, and I was trying to eat one and... well... this happened >.<; The fox is me, the cat is my friend Simone, and the panda is her boyfriend, Jon. It's hard to read, so here's the dialogue... Jon: Daybreak, that's not how you eat jello shots. Daybreak: It's not? Simone: Yeah, you've got to squeeze it into your mouth. Daybreak: Like this? But it's stuck... Simone: See how easy that was? Daybreak: I think I swallowed it whole... |

Who, Simone? Yes, she's very... affectionate. But we love her anyways. Note that her boyfriend has no problem with any of this >.<;

 One of my many pictures I base off random songs. This one is Roses are Red by Aqua (yes, the band that did Barbie Girl. They're strange, I like them). I own that sweater. It's big and comfy.  I wonder why my pens dies so much. I call this one Fever Dream for... well.... obvious reasons. I like the stuffed bunny. Wish I had one.  It's time I introduced you all to Chains. I've got more pictures lying around somewhere, I'll get them up eventually. He's a swell guy, despite being monstrous. Here he's taking a stroll and keeping an eye on a random thug. My best background to date, by the way!  A couple demon characters that starred in a short, now terminated, comic. I really like Uther (left) and Baby (the snake), but Chip (right) is a bit hard to handle. Plus his hooves are a pain. I'm thinking of simplifying their design for a comic, but who knows...  I'm a bit apprehensive about posting this one, actually, but I'm way too fond of it to let it slide. Ajax was created that fateful day I was introduced to Franz Ferdinand (the band, not the historical figure). And he's a singer/performer, not a stripper (just wanted to get that straight >.<) |

 Just popped into my head one day when I was hungry. Little kid Endorphin demanding food. Of course, this bends reality somewhat since he didn't get the human form until he was adult, but oh well. Note that he has eyes, however. Devourer kids have them until they get ripped out in the coming-of-age ceremony. |

Congrats! Photoshop is fun when it isn't being "The eater of RAM". >_< I have to restart my computer after it alot. Also,I failed to say it before, for fear of being insanely repetitive, but your work is very nice, and I like the last pictures posted alot.

 Oh. My. God. R@fcjea hgifednv. Err, sorry about that. I haven't drawn Dy in a while, and he kinda surprised me . He used to be in every other picture in my sketchbook. Heck, he was the first picture in my very first sketchbook. I hadn't realized I missed him so much T_T. |

Yes. I know. He showed up with it one day out of the blue, and he's had it ever since. It suits him in some weird way.

Aw, but I wanna see what your characters look like, Scare! And you think the axe is bad now, wait until Dy actually has to use it! He's had several thousand years to master it, after all ^^;
