Mario Doodle

I was going to upload a second picture, but it's taking so long I figure I'll save it for another time. In the meanwhile, enjoy this poorly drawn picture of Mario. The idea behind it is the thought of a game that actually featured Mario doing his job (Jeff at my work thought up the idea, I just did the "concept art")

Photoshop Colouring

Yay for colouring on photoshop! I think I'm getting a bit better...

An image for my online comic In The Air (found on wirepop.com)

...drawing anime style is really a guilty pleasure of mine... xD

More Characters

I've been trying to redesign these characters of mine for quite some time now. Things are still pretty unsettled, but here are a few I thought were fun.

Here we have Tatian Elfiore and his little brother Clem. They are the two Elvin princes. I'm liking Clem's look, but at the same there's still something that isn't right about it. This is my first time redesigning Tatian, so I currently don't have an opinion on this... It'll take a few more sketches of him like this before I decide.

Suwenria Thatsanelf - the girl Tatian found in the Directory of Damsels in Distress when his father forced him to get out and find a bride. I kinda like her demented cuteness in this redesign.

Gordon, the no-nonsense captain of the Elvin Guards. The kingdom is generally peaceful, so he ends up being more of a babysitter for the two princes. I'm not so happy with Gordon's design here, so you may see a few more versions of him here before I'm finished.

Xion and Donkhar, my feminine man and my masculine woman. Xion is an imp and half brother of Gordon's. He's always plotting ways to disturb the peace of the Elves. Donkhar is the Dwarf princess, and she has the hots for Tatian. As for the designs, Donkhar needs work - Xion pretty close, but just a little more.

And then we have Perrin, the cowardly human and wanna-be knight. He meets up with Suwenria on her quest to return to the Dragons. His face cracks me up in this picture!

Lumpypants

Looks like someone fell victim to the invasion of lumpypants...

Banner images

Here are the little drawings from the banner above. Ary is kind of like my Mickey Mouse. She follows me wherever I go.

This is Ary. I created her I believe in 6th grade, and she's continued to evolve with me as the years go on. She's pretty well the embodiment of my inner insanity (she looks innocent, but she's not!! Don't trust that cute face!!).
Aymar is Ary's cynical and sarcastic cousin. He always tries to bring Ary down, so he usually ends up the victim of most of her tantrums.
Jim is Ary's love interest, though he is the total opposite. He's introverted and paranoid (especially since Ary loves to flirt with all the hot guys).
Last but not least, there's Triffanne, who is always happy and perky. Unfortunately for Aymar, she's crazy about him and there's no insult that phases her. She generally loves everyone though, including Ary who may even dislike her more than Aymar.
