Woo, Redd!
He's looking mighty stylish there, methinks.

I would say so. :3
Started this a few months ago, would've finished sooner but the household drama was really getting in the way of creativity. XD
I'm lovin' the more ancient symbols going on with the disc on his back (yeah, it's not really a shield, it's magnetized to hold his sword) and on the gauntlets. Really brings out the kind of ancient Llorian style they tend to have amongst the nobles - which Redd never was a nobleman, but is dressed befitting of a hero.
The symbol of the Light Castle - which was adopted from the markings on Mirakon - also show up on both the sword and the back of the coat.
Mirakon's blade just really stands out now!
For a long time I had a problem picturing the extra details of it, but I was able to take my time and construct it piece by piece. The 'wings' of mirror shards really make it unique in comparison to other swords in already written stories and games, so I feel very accomplished in having it set apart while maintaining the 'look' of Mirakon as a Reborn. The sword really makes that connection here between Redd as a seemingly normal human to the wild fantastical world of the Reborn he will discover.
All in all, probably my best work to date. :3

Last post was back in Dec! This proves I take entirely too long to draw/color... XD And I always say my pieces are my best to date, so if I have more better than THIS then I'll be most pleased with myself. ^^ Welcome my latest character! Direct Link: Click Here!Story: Almega Character: Gemel Species: Reborn Element: Earth Role: Villain Alrighty, so, meet Gemel. Finally! ^^ Gemel is a Reborn(a living and breathing manifestation) of the very ground you walk upon, a creature of the earthen element. For thousands of years, Reborn have practiced reproduction just as their lesser human neighbors, but Gemel formed by purely reacting energy. He has no heart, as he rightfully should, and seeks someone - likely a human - to bind with to become 'complete'. Only, he isn't known for sharing... Gemel is otherwise working for multi factions in the story. Where does his true allegiances lie? And while playing cloak and dagger, he makes time for furthering his own agendas. Can't say I'd want to get in his way... [Gemel was truly a challenge to draw and color! I knew the feeling I wanted for him, but it took a few color schemes to get this awesome outcome! He is your sinister quiet type, so the blues of his rock formations were perfect. But he has just enough of that green energy to warn you he's dangerous before he even opens his mouth! This pic took a long time from start to finish, a few months actually, so I'm pleased he's finally done and looking as I imagined him to be! :3] Gonna blow up some Llorians with lasers! >:3 (RUN, REDD, RUN! D:) |

Next! Been working on this toon for a bit now, and I'm very pleased to have him finished! And this would be my first time drawing a character with three side views in one picture. ^^  This is Azul, one of the five Prism brothers in Almega. From the very start of the book, Azul is sick. He becomes infected with a mysterious plague at the age of 12 and it continues to make him suffer into adulthood. He and his family have been waiting on a cure, but everything known to Llorynicia kingdom - their homeland - fails to make him healthy. So the question is... Will he ever be cured? Azul sets out on his own journey in the book to find the answer to just that. :3 I'm very happy with this piece. I had to research anorexic men to even get an idea of how his body shape should be, since the plague he has makes him very nauseous and hardly able to eat. So, yeah, he gets terribly skinny... On the other hand, I like how his personality still comes out despite that. He's certainly a fighter, and even if he does get down sometimes, he still remembers to smile and keep going. Gotta admire him, really. :3 I also like the robes - the robe he is wearing is not his sense of fashion exactly. The robe is for all Llorians that came down with the Blight of Yuxe, or the plague, and must be worn outside the sanitarium they normally are cared for in to let others know they are sick. Yuxe was one of the demi-god wolf beasts known to Llorians that spread the plague, so his symbol can also be seen on the sides of the sanitarium robes. Just a very well detailed character. Happy with his update. ^^ |

Wow, I never expecred such detail from you. Just looking at his sickly, frail body makes me feel a bit weird.
I like Searina, too. Always nice to redo and go over old characters.
I'd love to do some new drawings but my laptops gone. Might try with a mouse.
Good work, Flamey.

Thank you, Amy. :3
I'm very glad that you see what I wanted you - as a member of the audience - to feel from this character. Yes, most definitely it is uncomfortable to look at his body. It was even uncomfortable for me to DRAW, but it was very much needed. It is a powerful visual. It had to be captured to make his struggle more real, even to myself.
So, great compliments. It tells me I'm growing in my art and characters. ^^

A long overdue update has arrived at last! Oh, wow, I've been waiting to see this guy finished myself for awhile and I am very pleased with the outcome. Please welcome Jade, the hero of Llorynica Kingdom! (Image pretty large, so linking is best.) Link - linkAs the eldest of the Prism brothers, and the primary provider of the family, Jade walks in the footsteps of his beloved father. Jade is a Sword of Lloryn, a devoted knight to serving his kingdom and the well being of its people. He lives by a code of honor, and it is not easily broken. Family comes before all else - over common folk, over royalty, and even over the gods. He finds companionship otherwise among his fellow Swords, most in particular his friend Gemel. With his ability to follow orders, and even give them just as well, Jade finds himself protecting not one ruler, but two in his time of service! No matter what life brings, he only wants one thing: to see his father once more, whom he believes is alive and well despite the passing years. He holds fast to this hope even in his darkest hours. [Jade had well over 30 layers of color. That's CRAZY. But it paid off because his color scheme looks amazing even by my standards! I'm loving how his clothing speaks volumes about him that even I can't put exactly into words. Not the average knight you would think of just clad in full silver armor, but then again he isn't your average swordsman. Love love LOVE his sword. It is named Windsong, gifted to him by his friend Gemel. The blade was named almost on the spot after Jade took his first swing - it rings softly, almost like it is whispering. Definitely a magical sword. Overall, I just love him. He is such a major character in the book, so getting him right was a MUST. Now even I can fully appreciate his side of the story!] But wait! Hey, Bree, we already saw Gemel... Why would Jade be friends with a villain?
Why, indeed. >:] |

Loving Jade Prism.
Never ceases to amaze me how awesome your art is.
Weirdly, looking at Jade reminds me of someone/thing else, but I can't put my finger on it. I'm sure I'll figure it out.

I'll go ahead and post the one I finished. Holiday hours have made it extremely unlikely that I'll finish the latest one I was working on next to be complete this year, but January should free up some time. And I see no reason why not to post one I have done while I have a moment to spare before night shift again. SO... This is a MAJOR revamp image that has finally been complete! A few of you may actually know this character from his previous debut image, but as one of the hero characters of Almega he deserved these touch-ups! Please (re)welcome Shaydenn! Direct Link - img.photobucket.com/albums/v19/flamemaster5/ShaydennRevampSHOW.jpgOriginal Image For Comparison- img.photobucket.com/albums/v19/flamemaster5/ShaydennProfileFIN.jpgStory - Almega Character - Shaydenn Prism Age - 25yrs Role: Hero One of the twins (the other being Solis) in the Prism family, Shaydenn is well known throughout the kingdom of Lloryncia for his complete lack of respect for all figures of authority. Let's just say that he doesn't buddy up to the Swords(the city high guards), and he gives his brother Jade plenty of headache too for being one himself. He is the voice of sarcasm in any group, whether wanted or unwanted. Might as well just expect a nickname while we're at it. Shaydenn gets along with few people, so his twin Solis is just about the only one that truly does understand him and tolerates his shenanigans. He admires only one other living person besides himself - that being Alyssa Cade, the girl of his dreams. Which he desperately is trying to win over. Everyone else is an afterthought, if even that. But even he learns a thing or two when he is forced out on a journey alongside Jade and Alyssa to a distant land called Vicebeh. And even he rises to be a hero when darkness falls over Lloryncia... [Shaydenn had well over 40 layers of color! I'd say that is crazy, but my pictures to come might surprise me. From what this picture was to how it looks now, the update is just jaw-dropping in my opinion. Shaydenn has a very different color scheme from his other brothers that I've already updated so far. And, actually, he was the first of his family that I put together! So, his personality really had enough impact for me to know exactly how I wanted him right from the start. Although, as you can see, he has gone through some changes here and there while getting an overall cleaner paint job. The one thing I want to point out is the updated symbol on the cloth directly attached to his belt - the original image had a mere wolf outline, but now the Den Mother Ulloryn is depicted with a lovely moon to accent it. Why point that out? Well, there's a little story to go along with this. The cloth there was actually a dress worn by his mother on the day she was killed. The dress was cleaned, cut, and modified by Shaydenn to wear in her honor. The necklace he wears is also one of his mother's, which he is never seen without. I also like the edits to some of his armor and his sword. Definitely the sword(named Eventide), as it got some great embellishments and extra detail added in. Just overall very happy with this. ^^] |
