Pumpmonger’s Red posing. This is the second of the themes, where the character does a little flex routine (it’s a bodybuilding contest, afterall). Red doesn’t often let herself have fun, as there’s always someone in need over yonder, but somehow Nick managed to convince Red to pose for this. Nick kept telling me Red’s a beautiful and sensual lady underneath all that grime and monster bits, but by golly… I’m fangirly for her all over again! xD

EDIT: I forgot Red’s freckles! Here they are.

Profile of Pumpmonger’s Red, the flame haired warrior. Red is my kind of hero - virtuous, strong and kind. She is also a tragic hero, whose path holds no promise of fame or glory, who is never really able to settle in any one place, nor lavish affection to any particular individual. Red carries the flaws of a human, yet her burden is beyond life and death. It takes a character of great strength to rise up to such a task, and Red is an inspiration.

This is the first of a series of pics that Nick and I are working on. The project is based on the themes for Maidens’08, which we thought was a good opportunity to showcase Red.

UPDATE 18 Jul 08: Fixed a couple of technical issues with the pic.

Commissioned by Pumpmonger of his epic warrior character Red, rescuing an Atlantean princess Nami. This is a scene from one of Nick’s many adventures of the heroine.

Red’s name was given by the Norse who adopted her, for her fiery red hair. She bares her heart always, for a curse that was put on her. A defiance to conventional depictions of warrior heroes, Red is a memorable character whom I hope to draw more of.

Alternate title: “Oh Shit–”

My part of the Art Trade with TJ-Caris, who requested for Estella. Her profile says:

“She’s a high-level dark magician but not quite in the most powerful circuit. She’s also a bit nuts. She’s looking for the thing that will get her over the hurdle and make her one of the most powerful magic casters in the world. Loreane is walking around with an interesting mix of magical artifacts and becomes a target.”

And the idea for this picture formed itself.

This was initially a b&w shaded picture. Thanks to Andi’s photo restoration trick, I was able to quickly slap on simple colours. Behold the glowiness!

Commissioned by Titaneer for his friend, Juneva, of her character, Eisheth. Eisheth is a half-succubus enrapt in the study of magic. She was born with hooves, which brought her much hardship during childhood, but she persevered. Although part demon, she remained a good person, and has a close knit of circle of friends. This is quite different from my usual commissions, but I very much enjoyed drawing it.

Was browsing dirk-geijsbeek’s collection and totally fell in love with Titania. Totally. And Debido-san tells me her name in the original Japanese version of the game is Tiamat, like the Sea Goddess. That is even cooler *squeee* A kiss to those who didn’t get one yesterday and wanted one

Bogus saw that in the Thanks for 100k Omake (behind the scenes), Alika wanted a picture of herself wrestling a boar. Mika Mouse was already exasperated, so Bogus drew one! This totally caught Alika and Mika Mouse by surprise xD Thank you dearly for your kind words about my art. If I may share some:

…I simply felt the need to send you an e-mail saying “thank you” for sharing your artistic vision with us… I’m not sure I can explain why your work seems to strike that elusive chord within my heart, just as I cannot explain why certain songs make my spine tingle or why I feel happier from seeing sunlight play on water (I’ve found it’s best not to question these things). But something about your style really endears itself to me.
