*shrugs* A character I created. I just felt like doing something.

Roses are my favorite flowers.

I beat Final Fantasy Tactics for the first time last night. This is kind of a self-congradulatory sketch. Mustadio, one of my favorite characters and one of the most useful party members in battle. Engineers are awesome. Except for Balk. I hated him. :x

Blarg. This will be suckitude compared to the original, which was a pencil-n-marker concept sketch for the next project in my Printmaking class. An illustration of Snow White's century-long wake, with her coffin just lying in the middle of the woods. I'd finish it now, but I'm in my Computer Graphics class and the Mac I'm using is fuxx0ring things up here, and I can't see all of the buttons, no matter how I resize the screen. :x Assmunchies. Not much left to do, really--just draw Snow White herself, and add the thorns to those brambles there, and I'm done. And fix that red in the background, because the only red I could access was that weaksauce one you see here. :x

I'm fairly certain many of you have heard about the new FFVII movie, "Advent Children", that has recently been scheduled for Japanese release. Because I'm a good little Square bit--*cough* fan, I'm all a-bounce with the news, though still somewhat cautious in my optimism due to the unprecedented waste of time and resources that FFVIII and "The Spirits Within" were. To celebrate the news that at long last the best New Skool Square title to date is being released in a format that most of the PSX/PS2 era FF titles should have been--cinematic rather than game--I've drawn a little Sephiroth doodle. Mostly for my own amusement, because he always was my favorite character in the whole game. That magnificent bastard. XD

I played around a little bit with the dodge and burn brushes in his hair. Those things are neat--when next I draw, I'll have to see what else I can do with them.

Randomly narcissistic inspiration, I guess. I just felt like doing an "anime" style self portrait for some reason. This seemed like a good medium for it. I'm getting better with the mouse, only three drawings in. Impressive, given how slow I usually am to adapt to a new medium.

I only used three colors--black, white, and green--to keep the drawing simple. In hindsight, that probably wasn't too good of an idea. But, anyways, I like it. Not as much as I probably should, but I have a habit of nitpicking my work in my head no matter how bad or good it is.

Of course, this is a rather (un)flattering self portrait, so I'm probably biased. XD

Thanks be to 3wk.com online radio, because nothing makes me want to scribble like good music.

A quick sketch of a character I play in a RP, Gareth. Two layers, solids and halftone watercolors, carpel (sp?) tunnel. XD I'm a little more pleased with today's sketch than I was with yesterday's. There's a bit of an anatomy problem with his left arm there, but making a wireframe would have been messy on Oekaki.

Random fact! His giant, oversized hoody actually has little teddy bear ears on the hood part. I'll have to draw him with it up one of these days...

Please excuse the shoddy background. I really, really couldn't think of anything better. :x

My first submission to this board, and also my first "oekaki". I've never really messed with PaintChat or the like, and the last time I fiddled with "mouse art" was in my 11th grade Business Com. class. Ah, the downtime in there was fun. We messed around with M$Paint on Win95 during downtime.

-Ahem- Anyways, like I said, this is a realative first for me. And I've suddenly decided that I need a tablet, because if I continue to do this with a mouse then it would be more like masochism than art. That being said, I'm still rather pleased with the results. I didn't do anything fancy--just messed with the tools and colors, one layer. Princess Serenity from Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon. Anytime I test out a new medium, I use the BSSM characters and draw them in my style to do it. And...this is the newest result in the newest media. My RL media style doesn't really translate to this very well, so I'll have to create another one to use on this board. I like a challenge.
