Snow Redesigned

This is just an expression sheet for my Werewolf LARP character, Snow. Since I play him, and I have a new haircut, Snow has a new haircut, too. I also got some new costuming pieces for him, so I figured I'd just draw him as he looks now for future reference.

Added pink so it wouldn't be so boring.


Enjoy!

For Gina

LARP-related, but a little more general than some of the stuff I've been posting. This is Gina's character Diana and her baby daughter Lauriet, who was named after a raven shifter character of mine that died several months back. It's really sweet, because Lauriet was the one who predicted that Diana would have a baby and so on. Anyway, here's the pic:
Enjoy.

Yet more LARP art!

From my Werewolf Apocalypse LARP again.

From left to right:

Mark as Eric "Scars of Regret" Homid, Ahroun, Fianna
Brennan as Rowan "Speaks Through Fire" Homid, Galliard, Fianna
Myself as Snow "Dances in the Streets" Metis, Galliard, Bone Gnawer
Anthony as Hugh "Actions Louder Than Words" Metis, Galliard, Glass Walker

This is our new pack in my Werewolf: The Apocalypse Live Action Role-Play. We're called Tempered Steel, under the totem of Buzzard.

For all you folks that understood NONE of the above, suffice to say that these are werewolf characters, and I inked this by hand. Thank goodness for Photoshop to clean up the smudges, though. :P

Also, these are ALL MALE CHARACTERS, FYI. Just, one of the players (me) happens to be female. ;)

There may be a colored version in the future.

Also, Rowan and Snow are very good friends. ;)



Ciao,

Inspiration in Babysitting

Haven't uploaded anything lately, since most of my recent work is commissions and freelance stuff that I can't post online, but I have been trying to draw more lately. I owe a LOT of people artwork. o_o Still, I've been squeezing in some time to draw for myself, so here's something to tide you over.

I'm babysitting for a 4-year-old girl named Arianna, and her 2-year-old brother, Rowen. I've known their mother since high school, and it's just strange to know that so many people my age already have kids. I still haven't grown up myself! Anyway, they're pretty cute when they aren't driving me insane, and after watching "The Last Unicorn," Ari wanted me to draw her and Rowen riding a unicorn. So I did.



Then, I got this spiffy rainbow colored pencil from The Source Comics and Games (it was an impulse buy for a dollar), and decided to try my hand at portraiture. I'm more of a cartoon/caricature person myself, but I think it turned out all right. Stuck both portraits together, added text, and adjusted contrast in Photoshop, but otherwise that color is exactly what is on the paper.



It's too bad I have to spend so much time chasing after these kids. If they would just sit quietly more often, I'd have a couple of great drawing models!

That's all for now,
