百千 : 100,000

Original design/ concept

medium: .5 mech blue pencil | .3 mech HB pencil | 9 x 12 bristol

Made for myself / 100,000 kiriban / and the original will be sent to someone as a present. Unfortunately, they might know who they are considering "The Darkness" part of it....but dammit, I wanted to post it NOW.

The idea behind it was: 100,000 darkness raining down atop an enemy with their master.

Chow 56: re-mastered

Chow 56
'Bard of Apocalypse'
- blue pencil | pencil | photoshop cs
Created: 2006 sometime

Meant to post but always forgot. I rectify that...now! Was an experiment in approaching coloring techniques.

7/15/08: Was mildly cleaning up my files while posting on CGChannels and with a new bound feeling a insecurity. Then I stumbled upon my chow folder, uponed up this file...and started tweaking it.

Made something half-assed and crapy into something not so half-assed and pretty decent=me feeling better.

Vengeful Ice Princess: Chow 89

Medium: red pencil | copic multiliners | photoshop cs
Project: Chow 89 Vengeful Ice Princess

I wanted to explore the possibility of making a bare breasted warrior women actually making sense. The story with her, Her race was born from the cold, their skin can be made as hard as steel: so their skin is their armor, the clothes they where is more for fashion than anything.

UFO crazed Geezer: Chow 96

Medium: blue pencil |copic multiliners | copic markers | photoshop cs
Project: Chow 96 - UFO crazed old farmer

Used the same approach as the squirrel mage. Traditional means for the monochrome shading, and cg for the coloring.

The prompt this round was an old UFO geezer: the description didn't specifically say "an old White American farmer crazed about UFO's", so I took the opportunity to create a new approach while still maintaining the given description. It seems they were looking for the generic take after all. I still enjoy my approach though.

Wet

-Original Character
- no reference

Another old piece I find strong enough to still add to my showcase of work. The most recent edit was his left hand, probably a year ago. Very fun and educational for me.

Earth God

Medium: Photoshop cs
-no reference

I learned a lot with this piece: I actually had it as a half body piece, the greens are finished, but I never got around to his body. Saying that, this is just a bust of the whole original image. I still love the horns :which was created randomly with me just going with the flow.

I find it still strong enough to add, so this is one of the 2 fairly old pieces I will ever post here.

Squirrel Mage: Chow 95

Medium: blue pencil | copic multiliner | copic markers | photoshop cs

Very fun and educational. I tried a new approach, where instead of adding the monochrome in pohotshop, I use traditional means [copic markers], and then add the color and such in photoshop.

-I'm going to go back over the coloring someday, make it more finer and complete. Seems more like a decent start, than a finished coloring: even so, I still find myself found of how it came out so far.
