new group and (maybe?) a new style...

So, on dA I joined a group called Hetherev, another art roleplay group like MoM.

Volancoru the Dragon. If you can't read it, go here.

The idea is that characters get dropped in the world of Hetherev, losing much of their power and memory in the process. Once there, they go through the various challenges, getting chances to interact with a vast array or chars.

Number one was the entrance challenge. How and where does your char enter heth...

Naturally, Vol's lucky enough to wake up in the one and only active volcano. Notice the (almost) monochrome coloring? That was so much fun I decided to do more...

There's currently a special challenge going to draw you char as an elemental (a being adapted to one specific element). I started with wind:

But I liked it so much I did fire, water, and earth too:

Fire's my favorite out of the bunch.

All of these took roughly 2-3 hours and are done in monochrome, and I LOVE them. So... I think I'm one step closer to finding my own style. WOOT!

Deliver milk to the villages

Mercs of Meleee mission six is finished. I wrote a short story to go with my entry.

Enjoy!

"Our poor neighbor villages are starving! Go and deliver some milk to them please. It's all we can do for now..."
..................

"This is a bit ridiculous"
("You're the one who volunteered")
A cart carrying the giant milk bottle rattled as it hit a rock.
"I didn't realize I was signing up for this!" Tayne said.
("Too bad") was Kisa's telepathic reply. She rested comfortably, perched on the ox who was towing the excessively heavy cart.
There was a sudden thud, and the ox took off at high speed. Tayne spun around just in time to see the milk bottle rolling away. She dashed off in pursuit.

Kisa, on the other hand, was getting a bumpy ride on the back of a surprised ox. She grabbed the reins in her teeth and tugged on them, bringing the beast to a halt. She dropped down and ran after Tayne.

Tayne was out of sight when she caught up, but was quickly spotted several feet ahead of the milk bottle, braced for impact. Was she going to catch it? A moment later though, she realized just how fast the bottle was accelerating, and that she was going to be crushed. She stood staring, like a deer in headlights.

(“Jump, you dolt!”)
Snapped back to her senses by Kisa’s insult, Tayne jumped, ending up on top of the milk bottle.
Kisa cried, (“How do we stop it!”)
"Who said anything about stopping? I bet we can get there twice as fast this way!”
"I hope the villagers don't mind getting some cream instead......"
Kisa rocketed off a passing rock, landing next to Tayne, and the pair rolled away into the distance.

Mercs of Meleee

I've joined a group on DeviantArt called Mercs of Meleee (Like melee, only with an extra e to make it more awesome). It's a type of role-playing group. A quick explanaion:
"The Mercs-of-Meleee is a group of dedicated heroes and heroines who risks their lives to take on dangerous missions. Each Deviant can use themselves or their original character and set them out on the missions available. Missions can sometimes include defeating a powerful dragon, saving a princess, or even delivering milk to the nearby poor village."


These are my heros:

If you have trouble reading it you can go to my deviantart page to full-view it.

Their first mission had to slay a dragon. Tayne fights fire with fire to gain victory.

The next job she took was mission 4: Rescue Puffluff the dogfish. Puffluff had been kidnapped by an evil hooded man and was going to be cooked and eaten!

Luckily, the plan went off without a hitch. While Tayne distracted the hooded man (she's good at that), Kisa freed Puffluff and the two slunk away to safety. She signaled Tayne via telepathy, and all three of then fled before the man had time to realize their trick.




That's all I have for now, but expect more of these two in the future, I really enjoy drawing them, and I've got another roleplay group for them to join when I have time.
Enjoy!

Fireworks

Happy 4th of July.

Enjoy.

Lit from Behind

All together now: Shiineey...

Anyways, this is my character Runa again. I spent just under 3 hours on it. This is also my first serious attempt at drawing a light source directly behind the character.

Enjoy!

Spinning

Just finished this:

My Character Runa.
I like using purple when I draw her, because purple and yellow are opposite colors, so it's fun to see how I can make them blend.

Daleel: Demigod of Death

Here's one of the characters I designed:

His name is Daleel, and he's the Demigod of death in a story I'm working on. It's his job to guide people to the afterlife. If the person was evil, he simply eats their spirit instead. He can appear in multiple places at once, and can take any form (animals, angels, demons, etc.)

I seem to like drawing him as a coyote the most.
