Anthropomorphic Characters

Creatures with human characteristics –

Anthropomorphic characters are fictional creatures or animals. These characters often retain their animal or creature-like appearance, but they stand upright, walk on two legs, and have hands and feet similar to humans. They also wear clothes, use tools, and display human-like behaviors, such as expressing love, anger, and humor. They blur the line between human and animal, creating a unique and imaginative world where anything is possible. They inspire creativity, empathy, and a deeper understanding of the world around us.

Leinad Ref Sheet

Leinad Female Version – Wardrobe Ref Sheet

Click for Full size view

I’ve done some clothing design for (Fem) Leinad Obtrebla’s wardrobe/clothing for different settings:

  1. Medieval/Tribal/Fantasy
  2. Steampunk
  3. Modern Day

This characters wardrobe was quite fun to draw and design clothing for. It was something a little bit different. Overall i am quite happy with the designs that he has chosen (we went through quite a few in the beginning for the tribal warrior). The steampunk, I am happy to say is re-used from the earlier design I created for the image “The Hallway”. the more modern one is not to my taste but I do like the look of it. She is much more tribal in colours and attire then her male counter part.

Published Artwork

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share some great news with you.

I have had my artwork published as the cover of an erotic novel! Anyways I was pretty excited about it, just another step into the world of artwork.

It was a very interesting image to create and I got to use my comic book style of colouring which I rarely have the opportunity to do anymore (at least not much digitally). I also had the opportunity to do some erotic artwork which I also don’t do as much anymore (but would like to). Anyways, I am sure that some of you are wondering what the book/ Image is right?

Just so you know, it doesn’t not contain any nudity and all is explained in teh description with a link to the novel.

For obvious reason I am not going to post the image here but

if you are over the Age of 18 Feel free to give this link a click!

Gothorita fusion

So, fusing a boy into a much more feminine looking pokemon does pose a few challenges. He becomes a bit awkward, less fragile and yet needs to posses some feminine qualities.

 

Gothorita is also the teen for I guess, (2nd evo)

So I tried to make it younger, and a little bit girly, but also at this point he is embarrassed (this is the first time that it has happened in Argols story (to be posted at a later date).

this is also my first Gijinka in years and its so much fun to go back to with a little bit of a challenge.

 

For this one I’ve created a pretty school girl like, Gothic Lolita dress.  It matches the style and the colours of the pokemon and I think its looks pretty damn good.

 

You can even see the gothorita in the BG saying… hey… its ok.

But you will that later he gets used to this phenomenon.

 

 

Here is the pic, one with a glow and one without. I personally prefer the glow, but Argol did not so I’ve posted up both and you can decide fr yourself :3

Chinese War Horse Daiyu #2

Happy New Year 2014 – Year of the Horse

Chinese War Horse Daiyu #2

Chinese war horse – Daiyu (Black Jade)

My Chinese War Horse Daiyu (Black Jade) is a perfect drawing to celebrate the year of the horse!
It is a re-work of this picture, but done with pencil crayons.
I’ve also created 2 videos of myself working on this picture showing the inking of the line work and the actual pencil coloring process.

The inking video can  be seen here : http://youtu.be/d_e3pWIdBdc

Chinese War Horse Daiyu – Inked line art

I find inking is a hard process as you only really get one shot at each line, and you need to do it fairly quickly or it doesn’t look good. Almost every line is drawn with 1 solid stroke and then later  with a much smaller pen tip, the line weight and extra shape/detail is added. You also need to make sure you know where its going to end up, its not like you can just erase it….

The colouring video can be found here: http://youtu.be/sCFt5inUn7k
It looks really different before the blending stage occurs

Pencil crayon before blending, it looks quite different then the completed version. Still looks nice but not as well as the fully blended piece

I really enjoy using pencil crayons. You can get a nice solid color onto the paper and they blend quite well. The overall effect is similar to a copic marker or even paint. However I do find that pencil crayon is not as forgiving as paint at all… once its on the paper it’s staying there.
Some people like to use layer of workable fixatif, however I have never used it.
I may in the future but for now I think the method I have going works well for me.

Overall this drawing is a large improvement upon the original and was great practice fro my pencil crayon work!

Matt Gill

 

 

Matt Gill

This one was a lot of fun.
It’s a portrait of my friend. Then I stuck him in this world based off a description of his name we found on urban dictionary on day at lunch.
I think Matt would make an interesting movie dont you?

The description: A mythical Irishman who was said to have destroyed Superman’s home when he first synthesized Krypton in chemistry. Standing about five feet tall, Matt Gill can fly, shoot lazer beans from his eyes, drink any amount of beer, and turn any frisbee he touches into straight, heat-seeking, side-winding, and lazer-guided missles until they reach their intended targets.

Matt Gill commonly insists that he hasn’t drank, as less than 99 beers off the wall doesn’t even count in his book.

Matt Gill is an Omnihero, and as such can outrun any superhero. He eats gold and pisses rainbows, allowing him to follow the Yellow, Orange, Red, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet River to more gold, in a vicious cycle. Leprechauns worship him as their savior and upholder of Irish traditions.

When Matt Gill threw a frisbee the length of half a football field against the wind, and abruptly appeared to catch it with his left hand while not looking for a touchdown.
Thank you Urban dictionary  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Matt%20Gill  . you are always so fun to look at!
Throw in some gold, a leprechaun, and a rainbow with Matt and Bam it all comes together!
But that Damn hat, did it ever cause me problems lol.
Matt got this as a Christmas gift, but committed a Christmas violation and opened it before Dec even started. Thankfully he didn’t eat all the chocolate form his Advent calendar. Lol, poor Matt, I get to make fun of him in his special blog >:)
But I think its ok, He is also my favorite Ginger, even if he’s the only one I know 😛
