Redirecting!

2011-01-17T13:56:00.001-05:00

Hi guys! It's been awhile since I've updated here and I'd like to let you know that I've now moved over to tumblr. To continue to watch my work, follow this link, thank you!

Summer Sketchdump

2010-09-03T13:05:00.002-04:00

hup I'm behind. We'll go recent to oldest, because blogger wanted to update that way!

I've been working on a possible webcomic to do after Final Arcanum (trying not to get TOO ahead of myself) and am playing around with the concept of commissioned, inter-dimensional treasure hunters. I have loose ideas of the main cast (four characters) and a few working titles, including "Hunters" and "Avant Garde." Nkiru is part of infiltration in the main cast, and is a shape shifter. Don't have much set for the universe yet, but I know Shapeshifter's always have inverted-colored eyes. (HUP and I'm not even sure if the comic is colored yet.) I have to do a little more work on her, but for the most part I think she's set in stone.
I'm already biased and kinda loving Yori a lot. He's Intel, 4' 1", and over 500 years old. And super smarmy. Fffff so excited for him. He's so much fun to draw.

My goal for Hunters/Avant Garde/Something is to make characters that I really enjoy drawing and love. It means I have a lot of work in store for me, but I think it'll be worth it. That and I've got time.
FINAL ARCANUM SKETCHES YAY. Working on some later in the story concepts. The only problem with doing that is I want to draw the characters like that now. Gaaah Kite I can't wait until you change your hair.
It's a fat racoon.

GIANT IMAGE. This was a vote incentive awhile back, but I figured I'd throw it up here. Enjoy the many things it includes!

May/June Doop

2010-06-12T23:41:00.003-04:00

Soooo Shazz and I have begun to ship our characters really bad. So bad that I have to make weird sketches of them and probably color said sketches later. hurrrrrr
XUN. One of Fuu's adopted bebe's. He's needed a desperate redesign and I like this one so much more. ;u;
How cuuuuuuute. Also, who enjoys Fuu's hotpants? I do. unf.
Ferret! He's my new super adorable Volf Psion(Psychokinesis)/Rogue. He's actually suuuuper bad at thieving (levels are Psion 8/Rogue 2) so it's very helpful to be able to control light and sounds and whatnot with his mind. 8D;
Oh yes. DM-chan sent all the Rising Legion characters into magically enduced dreams where we were confronted by the main baddie, Katal.

I mean look at the guy. He just screams skeevy. Avidan is not so sure how to feel about this, obviously.

ANANKE. WHAT'S GOIN' ON WITH YER EYE, DUDE?

HNNG. 2x21

2010-05-31T09:40:00.003-04:00

I believe it's one of those panels where the artist asks "Why did I do this to myself. S-sob"

HUP. It's Finals.

2010-04-30T19:21:00.004-04:00

Finals means... more art? IDK life is weird.
So our D&D group started assigning our characters different parts from 30 Seconds to Mars' song "This is War". Avidan ended up being the leader, and Fuu is the Victor. I'm liking how they came out. 8D;

Some Vale. She's cute. That's all. 8D;
Reworking Sophisticated Mutation and now struggling through protag designs. I know I want her/them(possibly twins?) to be female buuut that's it.
Second design. So I've been listening to Lady Gaga a lot. u_u

Redesigning Yori slightly, and rand secretary character? IDK *rolls*

March Sketchas

2010-03-22T12:11:00.003-04:00

I redesigned Chaim awhile back, but I think I finally settled on liking it. Now I just have to remember he's a good 6 feet tall. Hup.
AAAAAAAANGST IVER, AAAAAANGST. I like this sketch, just for the imagery, but I need to tweak his posture some more. We don't need "durp durp heart in my hand." It needs to be more "AAAUGH WHYYYY" amirite?
While Xandrei visited, we made new D&D characters (for better or for worse) and I created a mimic psion-telepath named Niko. Still tweaking her design but so far so good!

A bunch of us discussed who our characters in Empires Clashing would be from Alice in Wonderland. I'm not a huge fan of Alice, but the imagery is always cool. Have a hatter!Desch. 8D; There are so many problems with this, however, I doubt it's going anywhere. xD
More Ananke redesign - Yedimyze is far north, so why wouldn't he take advantage of fur fashions? The guy has gold coming out of his ass for pete's sake.

Character Designs + Redesigns

2010-02-28T15:44:00.001-05:00

Now that Zero and Kite finally appeared, I needed to flesh out their new costume designs. Their original designs were done over two years ago. I reaaally like the improvements.

And I've finally fleshed out my character for this quarter's World of Darkness - Hunter game, aka - Dallas Evans. A few concepts have been on the blog before, but this is the finalization of everyone's favorite one-armed hoodlum. Obviously I've been watching the Boondocks so much. A+ show though.

Ha ha ha aaaand Dallas by the END of the games. Faeries do some weird crap, man. 8D; I'm really hoping I'll get the chance to play him again.

I wasn't a fan of Ananke's old design, and after re-writing his character history and fixing plot holes, I found something that make sense.

Speaking of Ananke (and the underground Western Court that he happens to run), Callum's a top-notch spy, and kinda awesome. More of him to come? Perhaps!

Just a Few More

2010-01-24T18:25:00.003-05:00

Experimenting what a half-Lenzian would be like. I forgot how much I missed soft shading. ; n ;

Some future designs for Citli and Iver. Bwahahaha. Gotta love doodling.

IDENTITY - Character Designs

2010-01-24T17:33:00.006-05:00

Rachel and I have been writing Identity, a sci-fi mob wars story for... a little over a year now? We finally have a main cast fleshed out and want to work on a plot. I'm hoping to possibly do ID after Final Arcanum is over (so yup! It'll be a webcomic!) The plan is to make it a horizontal/ish strip and I'd like to update twice a week. Rachel will be writing, and I'll be doing the art.

Keith Rowen, the main character, is a past boxer. The story starts with him, and as it runs you discover he's pretty closely tied with the Estevo family (the most powerful mobster family in New Chicago.) Generally speaking he's grumpy, cynical, a perhaps not your smartest hero, but he's likable in that he's really just a big teddy bear kinda way. Or at least that's how I think of him.

Adam is actually a cyborg originating from the Hive, a fairly mysterious scientific plant in the center of the city. He provides recon for the scientists in the Hive, researching both the progress of New Chicago, and monitoring the fickle Dead Zones. Keith runs into Adam fairly early in the story, and I'm super excited to make a ton of internet/pop culture references due to Adam's wireless setup.

Ellie, who kinda needs a last name, is a victim of a Dead Zone. I'm not the best at describing them, but basically you want to avoid them at all costs due to the fact that not only will the radiation in them mutate your genetic make-up, but there are previous victims-turned-monsters in there that are not so nice. Ellie managed to escape luckily enough, and provides the sass for the group. She's quick-witted and sarcastic, and develops a soft spot for Adam during the story. Alas, robot-mutant love!

Evander Estevo, or just Vander, is the Don of the Estevo family and aspires to control New Chicago through the family with an iron fist. He's managed to monopolize most of the New Chicago underground, but hey, why stop there? He and Kieth have run into differences in the past, especially when it comes to Kieth's romance with Vander's late-sister Lily.

Bwahaha I'm excited for this story. >D Hope you guys enjoyed the preview!

Qwila - Tai Shun

2010-01-22T21:52:00.002-05:00

I've been not only tampering with the idea of a sequal to FA, Vox Liberi, which I'm doooubting I'll actually write, but also the Qwila race. They're a peoples based off velociraptors. They also farm and eat humans, yay! Luckily they only have to eat once or twice a year and they're extremely long lived. The race as a whole tend to be taller than humans and like the Adelee, are considered more advanced or enlightened. They're also a slow-paced, sloth-like race. They rarely leave their islands up north and don't really care for the rest of the world.

I don't have a lot of info on Tai Shun except that he's the main character of Vox Liberi and that I really can't have him wearing a vest. It either has to go, or I'm going to need to make it some sort of symbolic connection to Acacitli, and I'd really rather not. xD

Savannah Sketches

2010-01-22T21:18:00.012-05:00

I went down to Savannah, GA to visit some friends of mine, and ended up doing a massive amount of sketching. So here's to sharing? xD I'll definitely have some beginning of school sketches going up sooner as well.

First is a new mage character of mine, Salvatore Malcare, the leader of the Scions of the Blind Seer in Nilarion (Rachel's world) who is an evil and scary man. This is why I don't make magic users! They end up able overpowered somehow and ridiculously frightening. Sal has massive amounts blood and mind magic soooo... yup. He'll be interesting to play if I get around to it.
Sketcha from an RL log. Somehow Jonan and Avidan get along really well, minus the fact that Jonan is trying to explain that the party has demon problems and Avidan thinks he's just a crazy, superstitious old man. HUP that'll go over well with the rest of the group.
Jacob and Katal. (Katal is our villain who is a being called a World-Slayer. Name kinda says it all. durp.) BAD TOUCH, BAD TOUCH.
I've been revising Selam a bit more, who takes up his place as a lord in the Rothfelt house of Khemar. Rothfelt and Thaydin... kinda get along I think?

Iver is also sad and tired sometimes. He should sleep more. 8(

And to the bottom right is Iirer's holy symbol. It frightens me! This means I've done well, bwhahaha.

Top is of Alter and Avidan, being drunk elves. Doesn't get much better than that, actually. I had some dialogue for this head scene but HUP it disappeared along the way.

Bottom is more Katal, and more Avidan probably ruining things for the party. I'M SO GOOD AT THIS YOU GUYS.

A concept sheet for Deror in Final Arcanum. Normally I wing designs for minor characters (badumpsh! You get it?) but Deror is cute in his scared-up-face way.

An Adelee glyphwriter. This character does not exist. I just wanted to draw her. That's good progress right? XD
This is actually an old sketch I never shared with the world, save Zimmay. Gotta love normal Desch-Jasperisms. Why do I always end up playing characters that annoy the other characters in some way or another?

New Character: Avidan of Jhalir

2009-12-31T11:46:00.004-05:00

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

2009-11-30T11:30:00.006-05:00

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

2009-11-22T16:42:00.003-05:00

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

More Spam

2009-11-12T12:10:00.006-05:00

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

2009-11-11T20:18:00.021-05:00

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

2009-09-19T13:22:00.004-04:00

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

2009-09-09T13:31:00.003-04:00

Desch + Fuu Artsu

2009-08-04T22:11:00.003-04:00

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

Past Sketches

2009-07-12T22:07:00.003-04:00

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

More Designs

2009-06-15T23:00:00.003-04:00

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

2009-05-30T23:22:00.001-04:00

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

2009-05-11T18:05:00.003-04:00

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

2009-04-19T16:04:00.004-04:00

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

2009-03-31T22:38:00.003-04:00

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

2009-03-30T08:55:00.004-04:00

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

2009-03-24T23:06:00.004-04:00

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

2009-03-23T16:34:00.006-04:00

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

2009-03-11T00:57:00.005-04:00

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

2009-02-23T14:30:00.004-05:00

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

Fuu Color Test

2009-02-20T18:11:00.004-05:00

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

2009-02-16T16:55:00.003-05:00

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

2009-02-14T23:50:00.005-05:00

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

New Pair

2009-02-10T19:40:00.008-05:00

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

2009-02-09T15:56:00.007-05:00

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.

Strix Design

2009-02-05T15:25:00.005-05:00

Strix; a birdlike people from the Caelest Islands south of Haweitha in the Southern Continent. The legend behind the Strix is that they were once regular human beings, but when they reached Enlightenment, they sprouted wings and flew away from their island to explore the world long ago. Since then, they have returned to the island, now only interested in things like puzzles and art.

Protagonist Busts

2009-02-04T11:33:00.010-05:00

All four sketches will be cleaned and used on the Final Arcanum site, but I thought I'd share now. I'm still testing out the advantages of non-photoblue pencils, but they've been pretty sweet so far.
More on the characters:

Mirna Hawkins, 18 years old; she is the first and only daughter of Duke Hawkins of Rodenia. All her life she's lived comfortably and was considerably spoiled by her mother, but as she grew older, Mirna began to reject her cushy lifestyle and sought to rebel. She plans on running away from her home when, almost ironically, a band of pirates kidnap her and hold her for ransom. Duke Hawkins hires Captain Habersam of the Siren, a bounty hunter, to catch the thieves and rescue her. She appears in the beginning/middle of Final Arcanum and begins a shaky relationship with Acacitli, but I don't want to give it all away~

Acacitli, 17 years old; for all of his childhood, he dreamed of becoming a sky pirate, free to do whatever he want, so when the infamous Captain Clint of the Eurydice offered him a spot on his crew, Acacitli jumped for the opportunity. There he meets Zero, a mercenary working on the ship, and Selence Kite, another pirate, and the trio become close friends. He commits all his time and efforts to the ship and pirating and talks of nothing else, which also means he avoids talking about his past if he can help it and claims "It's really not that interesting anyway." He's the hero of Final Arcanum and one of my favorite characters in the entire series.

Ishmael Habersham, 22 years old; he normally goes by the nickname 'Mael' and is Captain Falk Habersham's younger brother. Ever since the death of their parents who were killed in a pirate attack, the two have been very close. Mael is the more passive and introverted of the two, preferring the company of books and a quite study to the action-packed adventure of the skies. Unfortunately, he doesn't have much of a choice when his brother decides to become a bounty hunter. He is actually very open-minded compared to Falk and likes to believe there is good in everyone, no matter who they appear to by.

Falk Habersham, 26 years old; Falk took the death of his parents much harder than Mael and took it upon himself to take care of his younger brother. Over the years, he developed a very strong sence of justice and determination, and became a bounty hunter in order to satisfy his need to hunt down every pirate in Khartes. He seeks to protect others so they don't have to suffer the hardship he and Mael went through. Though Falk can be a little blindsighted, he means well and (as long as you're not a pirate) he's very friendly and charismatic. He currently captains the airship the Siren.

YUP. There's some brief character bios for you guys. I'll try and have some more soon~
