Aozora's Liquid10 2011 Montage Cameo

Yea, every-time I see fanart of one of my own characters, no matter how big or small, it's going here. Live with it.

So what am I here to state? Well it's not as major as the Blake picture I showcased the other day, but it has Aozora and Joker to say the least. What am I talking about?

Liquid10's recent OC montage,that's what. Well looking for the two is more like a Where's Waldo scenario. They're crammed into the back with a mad bunch of other OC's belonging to Liquid10's friends. But I can't really complain, there's perhaps around 100 characters splotched into the image, and if all of them were the same size, it'd be more crowed then than a boy's changing room during a busy collage day. So to make things simple, I cropped the image into the part that shows Aozora ready to kick some nuts and bolts and the Joker preparing for a sneak attack, greying out any of the other characters not involved with my indie series.

Now do the world a favor and go support Liquid10's masterpiece. There's other beloved OC's that need love.

Blake, according to atamask

I got a new commissioned piece from deviantArtist Atamask, of none other than Blake, the male witch antagonist. Self-explanatory.

Yea, it was actually a very cheap price. Only for $20 I got this in return. It's badass. The background perfectly reflects Blake's color scheme and personality (I need to get off my lazy ass and write a detailed biography of him).

Go show Atamask your support. Simple as that.

Our favorite Witches of Evil on vacation (slight NSFW)

For $31 USD, I was able to commission deviantARTist Skyraptor to draw up some group artwork of Kurayami, Adelvina, and Alisha (the later whom was designed by SimirrorofShadows). out on the beach after a long day at their dark brisk mansion. He calls the piece "Sunset Girls".

Yea you can tell a lot of people really fancy the queen of darkness (at least for this indie series). It's also the first time we see Alisha in full color following SimirrorofShadow's original sketch, but I'm thing the hair and eyes should be a little more yellowish. And I also want to note the body paint patterns on Kurayami are entirely absent. No problem with that, guess you can say they just washed off.

But aside from that, Skyraptor did an amazing job portraying the three witches. Speaking of, Skyraptor also provided me with some additional bonus artwork. See for yourself.

New early concept drafts.

As I had promised, during my trip to upstate New York, I drew up some rough drafts of potential characters for the series. Note that these are rough drafts, so they don't look as professionally done as my art on deviantART, but I was away from my computer, so I didn't really have access to Photoshop and Poser. But anyways, here they are, and feel free to critique their design and modify it to your liking. And for crying out loud, don't criticize them for the bad anatomy. They're just rough drafts!

First: The well-anticipated "darkness" side-story protagonist. Here with the pencil sketch, his main colors appear to be lighter than they really are. Plus, I forgot to mention he also wears a torn-up tuxedo at times rather than the lather jacket. As you can see, he's a male gothic punk similar to Blake, but this character is not a villain, despite being from the same dimension.

Then we have the other two characters. These come from the regular universe; no alternative dimensions, but they are slightly inspired by two characters that perhaps no one knows. The arabian-styled girl on the left is based on (but not a direct rip-off/homage of) the slutty dark-skinned (sorry for the bad interpretation) egyptian boss from Crayon Shin-Chan: Arashi o Yobu: Nendororo n Daihenshin (image here). And sure enough, this girl too, has the same personality as the woman whom she is based on (though the way I drew my character, she looks like she's 17, when in reality, she's supposed to be in the early 20's).

The second character is based on my friend CaisBarlin69's original character, Cais Barlin. However, there are several noticeable differences, like this guy being a wild punk rock-star whom uses a guitar that shoots sonic booms (hmm... where have I heard this before?).

Please note my friends, that I'm not trying to be unoriginal here. I'm attempting to create my own characters so I don't have to steal those from others. And apparently there are the (non-final) designs I came up with during my weekend vacation. Like 'em or not, they're here to say. If you feel as if they're not detailed or designed well enough and originally, go ahead and leave your opinions.
