New Character: Avidan of Jhalir

Before the break in our Rising Legions game (D&D for those who haven't heard me "gnfjdagkn" over it), I've retired my Lenzian Paladin, Fuu, who is seen earlier on this blog with the slightly crazy Elven Rogue(/Master of Masks). Due to his higher IQ, he's constantly thinking in math and alchemic algorithims, and he hates it, so to escape overthinking anything he drinks. A lot. Like... a lot a lot. To the point where he's named his constantly filled flasks Odette, Clairiece, and Isabella.

In Jhalir, his home, he operates as a detective of sorts and leads an investigative group called the White Masks. This name actually came from one of the featureless magical masks he holds, Cassius, (the faceless mask for those who know the class!) that protects his mind from magical effects. His other mask, Tiamat, is shaped like a dragon. It lets him breath fire. I'm so excited to use it. >D

Anyway, he and Alter are total bros. I expect many good things ahead!

Thanksgiving Weekend

At some point Fuu gives Jacob a haircut when he decides he wants a whole new look. This hasn't happened in log yet buuuut hey, it's how I imagine it. 8D;
Designs for devils in FA-verse (Khartes is no longer the name btw. I've grown to hate it. -n-) I like the simplicity of their designs, but excuse the blah sketch. Just spitting out designs!
A redesign for Selam, a master Alchemist at the age of 16 (nope, he didn't have much of a life, but at least that's impressive!) and lord of the Kia estate in Khemar at age of 17. He tends to be a srs guy. See what war does to you?

Iver + Bahn

15 minute warm up sketch
Betcha didn't know Iver actually has friends! (of course that term is used loosely)

More Spam

EDIT - I forgot this sketch. 8D;
Haha, more spam for you guys! I did this concept of Leander back in August and never uploaded. Leander, brother to Variance (Xandrei's character), both of which are Vampeyr's of Nilarion, except Leander's a little... ADHD. 8D;
Fuu's chitlins. Daaw. I'm almost finished coloring this, just haven't gotten to it yet. u_u From top-right to left bottom, they are Pon, Yin, Mei, and Xun. (What's with Lenzians and three letter names?)

Site graphic for FA. 8D; Will be colored soon~


A ghoul concept for Xandrei's Kingdom Come. I'm actually really happy with this. I miss drawing armor. ;3;

Spam Desu

Sorry for not posting in so long everyone. It's been quite the hectic semester, BUT HERE. Have angst from the Rising Legions session last night. Nazjwa was unfortunately kidnapped (much to Fuu's horror) but came back to us! Just... not very healthy. WHUPS.

Haha, I haven't drawn Yori for awhile. I might redraw this later for a print.
Old sketch is old?
Costume redesigns for chapter 2 in FA~ I actually really like them. Acacitli looks more his age for one, and Mael and Iver look more... professional? Does looking more like a thief (in Iver's case) count?


Rachel, our DM for Empires Clashing and Rising Legions is running a World of Darkness: Hunter the Vigil game in the winter while half our D&D group is studying in France. I'm working on character designs and am so torn. xD (Also enjoy that Desch sketch that squeezed in there~!)

FA p1x18 Preview

After a lot of bouncing between styles and experimenting, I may have finally found the end result style for Final Arcanum. That only took 18 pages, but the characters finally look alive!

The rest of this page will be posted on the site on September 25, 2009. :)

Khartes Concepts (Characters & Fawn) + Eccost

Desch + Fuu Artsu

I've been in a good kick lately. c: Hopefully more to come!

Past Sketches

Sorry for posting so little lately. I've been so bad about uploading artwork. u_u

More Designs

Sorry for the lack of art everyone! Here's a redesign for Mael for Final Arcanum.

I've also been working on a few more designs for Empires Clashing (Orion + Emir) and Fuu being drunk, just for kicks.

Assassin Character Design

Even without school work, I find myself super busy, but I did a character design to cool down for a little~ I don't know much about her yet, or even what her name is. Whups! It's a new type of design for me though, and that was fun. Excuse all the anatomical errors. u_u

Session Sketches

Sorry about not posting much lately! It was a crazy end of the semester but now I'm back in full throttle. ;D

Here's some more post-session sketches. Sorry for low-quality scans (my new scanner isn't hooked up yet) but enjoy!

After Game Sketches

Every week after the games I participate in (Empires Clashing and now Rising Legions) I try and do a sketch of a scene. I haven't done many yet, and they're just warmups, but here you go~

Fuu Past Sketches

I was sketching during work today and decided to explore Fuu's past a little. Top left is her and Leean, the captive elf sorcerer she secretly gave food and visited. Top right is her husband Gian, and bottom is Gian and Fuu with baby Yin. So cute.

And baby faces are hard to draw when they're that small on the page. I don't really suggest it.

Misc Sketches

Unfortunately, I've been swamped with schoolwork and haven't even been able to work on my comic. These are the only recreational sketches I've been able to do recently. Sob.

Acacitli Splash Image

Sketched this today at work and based it off of this old image. I plan on making it the splash image for the FA site until I get pages up. (Lots and lots of buffers to do first though~)

Materials Test

I've been having a lot of difficulty deciding how I wanted the lineart to look for the comic, but ended up deciding to use pencil (as seen in the third image.) The first was a try in Adobe Illustrator, and the second in Photoshop. I would've gone with Photoshop if it wasn't as time consuming. As nice as it looks, I wouldn't be able to keep up the pace along with the rest of my workload.

Tayler-Alu + Desch Flats

Tyler and Alu (from left to right); this has been sitting around on my HD for forever and thought I'd share now since I don't think it'll get done any time soon.


Desch done for a warmup sketch gone so-so wrong. At least now we all know what he'd look like if he were evil.

"The Ricochet Woman" Progress

Progression of "The Ricochet Woman", featuring Fuu. View the full painting Here!"

Fuu Color Test

I swear, Fuu has possibly been the most difficult character for me to design with both her physical design and her actual personality and history. I'm still not sure which I like best, especially since Lenzian's skin is supposed to have a bluish tint, so I ran a coloring through a few filters. I'm torn between the second and third from the left. The first just looks like a bad sunburn, and the last miiight be too extreme.

We shall see! I really want to do a portrait of her soon.

Fuu Full Design

I'm actually very happy with how these two designs came out, especially the left. Fuu comes from Lenzia, which is a volcanic land based off of Imperial China (culturally speaking at least), and her race is based off of the flying serpent they worship, so she's cold blooded. When she leaves Lenzia, she has to dress extra warm in order to avoid hypothermia. The design on the right was from before she left when she was the wife of a well-to do researcher, Giam.

More on Fuu later, I believe. :"D

Fuu Busts

My new Lenzian Paladin character, Fuu. Still working on her full body design. :"D More info on her then.

New Pair

These two managed to create themselves in Art History today. Neither have names, but the younger one is an Adlet and the youngest prince of Dreida, and the older, more manly one with the aviators is a conartist from Rodenia.

... That's all I got. :")

[EDIT] Created color schemes!

In Progess

The inks and flats for the top image on the Final Arcanum site featuring Acacitli.


Jasna and Selam; I really liked how the sketch came out and thought to color it, but it didn't come out as I hoped. Maybe I'll finish? We shall see.
