Due to popular request, I am starting this thread to log my artistic wanderings. I do both graphite on paper and digital art, though I will be primarily focusing on the former. While I do show things in the chatbox, I'll post the more finished products here, with a bit of backstory to them.
The entire album, with both WIPs and finals, are here
So, let's get started, shall we?
Basic cover idea for my Magical Girl's story. Basic premise is that Magical Girls, while still rare, are common enough that someone needs to keep watch over them. Not everyone can handle the lifestyle that being a Magical Girl brings. Sometimes enemies are too strong, sometimes the power gets to their head, and sometimes the dual lives puts too much mental strain. So, who will guard the ones guarding us from magical threats from beyond? These two magical girls.
The one in back is Yozora Yamagishi, representing the more forceful side of the pair. With her magical staff in one hand and her pistol (I chose the USP .45), she's ready to do her duty using whatever force necessary. Her magical ability is to actually negate the magic of others, and will erase (sometimes permanently) the power of other magical girls. In the front is Michiru Sawamura, the brains of the operation and does most of the scouting of magical girls. She has a slightly more powerful ability, to change to properties of any "doorway"; not as powerful as Yukari Yakumo's gap hax, but similar in idea.
These two are from an older RP game I was in. On the left is my character, Alicia, and the other is a friend's, named Kiriko. Since it's winter themed, they're out and about, though, they have different levels of cold tolerance. Kiriko is from Hokkaido while Alicia is from coastal Virginia, so the former handles it much much better than the latter.
On the left is Motoko Itami and on the right is Ageha Yokohama. Despite all appearances and completely opposite personalities (oujo vs sukeban), they're good friends. While they often reach for the same objective, they disagree on methods. For example, while Motoko may poison you to death, Ageha will simply slash your throat.
And old WIP of Mashiro Satou!
Admiral Ackbar, to the bridge, please. Unfinished and will stay unfinished. On the left is Charlotte "Charles" O'Bannon and on the right is Mikhail "Misha" Shirayama. Yes, the one on the left is a girl, the one on the right is a guy. Charlotte is my character in another tabletop RP game, where she plays a wisecracking but ultimately good-hearted smuggler, while Misha is a character in my short stories. Actually a friend of the Satou family, where he himself works in the family bakery.
I'll post all future things in subsequent posts! Any suggestions are also welcome too!
