About 10 Days Ago Now I Was Reading The Book Of 1 Chronicles Reviewing The Life Of King David, And I

About 10 days ago now I was reading the book of 1 Chronicles reviewing the life of King David, and I just got this really battleworn version of the commander of David’s army, Joab, in my head. He came out looking like this. God helped, we kinda collabed on the design on the bottom there as he gave me ideas for Joab’s design. I did some research on ancient Israeli armor too but ultimately I think it was God’s suggestions that really made this picture happen. So anyways yeah. Some oldish art, thought I’d post it up.

Concept art for a character I had in mind. No idea of her name, but she’ll probably show up in some minor story as part of @enjoliquej‘s collab project Zenith. Everything I know about her is written on the paper. XD Supposed to be the possible girlfriend of my other character Juan... I know, his name is so creative XPP anyways.

Quickly thrown together, here’s “Conversation Hearts” as per @cielarose‘s request! She requested Phyrne (the girl on the left) but I just couldn’t resist doing some Ollinder and Phyrne fluff with a palette name like “Conversation Hearts!” Anyways. Thanks for the request! I thoroughly enjoyed drawing these two and hope I didn’t butcher Ollinder too badly XD Though I guess he’s technically mine now I haven’t really worked on him at all so still the same design basically. XD; Glad I still had those Ollinder refs kicking around. They came in handy! Phyrne © Me

Keep sending in those color palette requests, guys! Color Palette Challenge Post: http://kazeharuhime.tumblr.com/post/151594445920/big-thanks-to-tord-for-letting-me-use-this-for-a

So I said I was going to do a post on Scourge and these sketches aren’t the best but *sigh* here we go.

So in the Lands of Seven, a collab/open world between me and CC, one of the seven races was invented purely by yours truly, and that race is the Scourge. They are a race of short (thinking maybe 2-3 feet tall, maybe up to 4-5? not entirely sure how tall they are yet) troll/dwarf-like people, with gray skin and rock-like or brittle hair. They dwell in volcanoes and mountains, using the light of the lava to light their way. They are also equipped with enhanced night vision, since they go through a lot of dark in their mountain homes, but they do need a little light to see by. Renowned for their cruel, coarse and dishonest natures, Scourge are a strong people given to the work of mining and inventing respectively. Because of their light-sensitive eyes, Scourge rarely venture outside of their mountain homes in broad daylight. Because of this, not much is known about Scourge from the outside. They are very protective of their land and do not welcome any outsiders. Outsiders they do let in are often tortured and killed unless they can be used as slaves. They particularly hate the Avian people, claiming that they stole Scourge technology and called it their own. Because centaurs are useful in the mines for hauling loads difficult even for Scourge to pull, they make a habit of kidnapping them and keeping them in the mines as slaves. Recent strides have been taken to keep the centaur population alive in the harsh mine conditions, seeing that kidnapping is a risky business, particularly if they do not want to start a war with the centaurs.

And that’s all for now! I think I missed a few details but oh well, good enough XD

Oh I also forgot to explain who Trunt and Flint are... well they’re Scourge. Characters in some RPs me and CC have been doing with the Scourge in their mine with the centaur slaves.

Trunt is a secretly kindhearted Scourge trying to survive in the mines with a good heart in a bad environment with a bad upbringing. Whenever his kindheartedness is seen at work, Trunt often is picked on for being too soft. He’s rough around the edges, but Trunt is secretly very kind and has a soft spot for a certain pony centaur he picked up one day, and consequently rescued from the hands of eviler Scourge, named Sturdy. He wants the best for this pony and to make sure he’s safe from the hands of other Scourge who want to harm him because of his smaller ‘useless’ size and all around timid demeanor (being natural bullies, they tend to feed off the fear of their victims).

Flint is one of the council members of the Scourge’s government system. As part of it, Flint works with the other members to see that things run smoothly and efficiently in the mines. She is in close contact with the boss of the mines, Lot, who desires to maximize the efficiency of the mine and see that the most work gets done. Lot is in charge of everything over the mines and wants to see to it that the most is gotten out of it and the most work be done. He is the one in charge of getting more centaurs to help Scourge work to be faster, managing the schedules of working Scourge. As the toughest, strongest and most intelligent of the Scourge, he is the one that underpins all the operations that go on in the mine. The council members are his fingers through which his wishes for the mine are executed.

Flint is the owner of a centaur named ‘Freedom.’ Deciding that that was too assuming of a name (and because Free was thought to be generally annoying), Flint renamed him ‘Idiot.’

After getting sick on the job, Freedom was sent to Ambra and Helen for healing, where he discovers the blind and deaf centaur Helen to be exceedingly beautiful. Together with Ambra, Helen conspires to keep Free longer than his allotted time, making him appear sick even after he has gotten better to extend his stay with Ambra and Helen down in the Scourge village in Ambra’s medical office.

Edit: Finally got around to breaking the sketchdump up into pieces. Silly tumblr. XP

(see captions for descriptions of each)

I made this a while back, but never posted it publicly. Some design work I did for Erians, a species from my project Aliens (working title: Alien Universe or Alienverse... haven’t really settled on a title yet).

One of my oldest Aliens species, dating back to 2007. Been bringing them back into modern day with a little more variety on the idea of of aliens with dark beady eyes, tree stumps (or other botanical structures) on their heads, clompy feet (see feet development first four images) and mostly green/yellow silky bodies. A revival of an old story involving the then-MC Eriol, his family, and the fate of his planet. Now a sidestory that ties into the main Aliens plot, which revolves around two who were then villains, Naru and Shiido. Funny how that works, right? So, yeah. That’s about it for these guys. Make sure to check the descriptions for details.

Continuations of captions I couldn’t fit the entirety of in the caption spaces:

Image 7: The girl on the bottom right with curly hair and a dandelion on her head I was thinking might have blue beady eyes and blonde hair, maybe a paler yellow shade on average in the face as well. Part of my experiments with creating different ethnicities in the Erian kind.

Image 8: Here I experimented with different ear shapes for Erians. Most probably have a simple, short elf-style ear, but I was also considering wavy ears (like that leaf-shaped ears elf meme I found on google) or sort of feathery looking ones. I have to account for an entire race, so I may as well have some fun with variety, amirite?

(and the rest I could fit snugly into the captions so go read the rest there~)

Did another onform sketch! I knew just the character who would fit nicely into this shape XD This is Hiyura, from my manga Twin Scars! Haven’t updated in forever, but I’m trying to work on the chapter 2 cover! ....When I remember to XD; I should really update sometime... Sorry I’m so... y’know, not updatey at all with this comic XD My friends have been asking about it and quite frankly sometimes I just forget about it >3>; I’ve got a bunch of other things going on not to mention RPs so I haven’t really worked on it... But anyways, enough about my comic woes. Um. XD Enjoy the art I guess?
