Hello. :3

I guess I should give a bit of a background on myself first.

I'm a mostly self taught artist who has been published a few times. I alternate between anime and realism so you will probably see elements of both in any style I work in. XD

I have some art I wanted to show and see what you guys thought.


This one is the collector. It took a while to make due to the detail. Lineart was done in pencil and then the coloring was done in photoshop 7


A commission I did on e-bay. He had a really nice story behind it too. It was about a girl who fell so in love with the sea that she created a tail from other fish and wore it to become a mermaid.
He wanted the human legs to show through which is why you can see her heels.


Gaia fanart.
I actually really like her face.... and the starfish >.>


This was done last year... but I still like it and it fits well with the season.
The blank eyes were intentional. Because I created her to be an elemental I felt it would be fitting to do some amusing things like that.

Feel free to post opinions and critiques. :3

I love those pictures. Fantasy creature are my favorite to draw. What program do you use to draw like that? If i had to guess i would say photoshop. I love the way you colored and shaded the art. I myself have beem working with macromedia Flash, It give a neat look with solid colors. I still havent mastered the art of shading on the computer yet, I would love to have any tips from you on it ^^, Pm me if you have the time ^^

@ Liadon
XD Ah cool.

It appears that it's a small internet after all.
It's fun to run into people from different sites.


@ToriKat and HamletSpamlet
Thanks. I'm glad you like them.

@SorrowsxEnd
^.^ Fantasy animals really are fun to draw aren't they?
And yes, It is photoshop, however I do use open canvas from time to time. You can find version 1.0 online as freeware. I use version 4 and you have to purchase that from their website. However, it's price is very reasonable.

As for flash. I've used it before. If you plan to color with it you are going to have to try a cell shading style.

Flash uses vectors much the same way adobe illustrator uses vectors. It's great because it allows you to make it as big or as small as possible without loosing any detail... however it isn't that forgiving as far as trying to make something look like it's painted. Thats why I mostly use raster based programs. *sweatdrop*

As far as a suggestion goes. Never think of a shadow as being black. Always try to assume that its another color (like blue, green, purple ect).

I know you from B&C on Gaia. You've had a Fa'e since the beginning right?
