But there she is , she is Yannik's child hood friend
Next Up is Juji , Yannik's older brother.

Sketch Dump 1

2008-04-23T03:11:00.000-07:00

Been really busy lately ,

But I have been working on some sketches on Sketchbook pro

some characters i have been playing around.
Over the summer i do plan on drawing some short comics with these character

Both brothers, Well half Brothers.
The older one takes care for the younger one.
The older one came from Japan looking for living relatives.
ended up finding his half brother . Whose father had left him a week earlier to fend for himself.
The younger felt strange that he had a brother that he did not know about but got quickly used to him . They both established a strong friendship with each other despite their differences.

Juji Akamatsu- big guy of sorts, 6'3 341 lbs lbs 21 years old.
Tokyo Born with mixed decent
Is shy, warm hearted and childish in almost every way.
Has a long scar across his face and a smaller one on his chin.
He says he got in to a motorcycle accident and thats how he got them .
Drives a Vespa.
Is a chain smoker, but only smokes expensive smokes
Djarum Black Cappuccino Clove cigarettes.
Loves reading Horror manga , he seem to find it funny seeing
a drawing of someone screaming
Loves Watermelons, candy and cake. Is attracted to the culinary arts. Is a gourmand.
Enjoys power lifting, says that lifting weights keep a man healthy.
He likes wearing shirts that show off his physique, despite of having
a round belly.
He does odd jobs , currently working in a construction site.

and Yannik Loire
The younger of the two , much smaller.
17 years old, 5'10 170 pounds.
Yannik is pompous, speaks his mind and is a slightly narscisistic.
Also he is kind hearted, easily duped and clumsy.
Yannik is a fashion freak , cares about his appearance a lot.
He is sometimes mistaken for a girl. This makes him furious.
Yannik loves candy and can be seen with a lolly pop his mouth
at all times.
He also enjoys food a lot especially Chinese , but despises cake, not good for his figure he says.
Hates watermelons despite he has never had one.
Cannot cook for the life of him , he still tries.
Goes to high school ,He spends it mostly on the roof top eating snacks.
Knows Kung Fu . XD
Works part time at a clothing store.

So yeah there are those two, there is one more important character.

Her name is Aya... but i still havent drawn character sheet.

well i hope you enjoyed it.

Old Digital Work in Progress

2008-03-21T17:21:00.001-07:00

It seems that I Don't finish some pieces because i loose interest in them .
But recently , a person on Deviant art suggested I finish these.
So I'm going to post them and i have updated them a bit and have been playing with experimental lighting.

Drawn on 70 lbs paper , scanned then coloured in Photoshop CS2 using a Wacom Bamboo Fun .

This is Lillith Aurelius, an elven elementalist .
A runaway from her perfect society.
Daugther of the Regent of the Theocratic State of Elysia.
Perhaps the most technologically advanced country in the inner world.
Bored of her life she transports her self to the outer world by mistake and ends up being stranded in the Arin Wastes.
Thus she begins her adventure and sees that not all is perfect like in her world.

Deeply spiritual ,naive and caring.
Has a deep link with nature , feeling the slightest change in
its chi.
She is very well adept in nature manipulation and majic.
Also has moderate psyonic abilities which she combines with her already well toned skills.

This is the former Warlord Amarok Rexus Dai'el .
He is an Aezir Hexaknife wielder and student of Closed Fist martial art.
Hails from the highly advanced Theoocratic Empire of Leto .
His kind is a genetically engineered race which was created by the fore fathers around 3 milenias before and are a staple in the empire as workers.
None have ever reached his status as one of the 6 warlords of the vasal nations. Betrayed by an ally and forced to commit genocide he decided to completely abandon his life and become a pacifist.
Changing his name to Rex Bloodhawk, he transported himself to the outer world so he could live in peace and atone for his sins.

Well seems I got carried away.
I have yet to post one more , but that character has gone some drastic changes .
Perhaps I will update it some other time.
