Sketch and Color - "Hyoun" Bahamut and Hunter

This was something I did for fun, giving Bahamut/Hunter a different outfit for the fun of it.

This was something that was inspired by a character named Hyoun from the series "Shining Tears". I actually have no knowledge about the series or "Shining Force" in general, but I saw him and the outfit and figured it might be fun to so something with Bahamut like that.

While coloring it, I decided to do a version of Hunter as well for the heck of it, and so here we are.

I'm happy with how this turned out, the posing is simple but a lot better than something static, and the colors are simple so it works out. I think I could have added in some more details, but that might be something I can play around with later.

Sketch and Color - Razor Wing Owen

I have mentioned my friend Yark before and I've made mention of her "Team Prototype" project, a sci-fi adventure project with her four main protagonists Sparks, Nix, Phineas, and Tero (she's an awesome artist, I seriously recommend going to her dA page or her main TP tumblr).

Her character Nix is a bird race known as 'Razor Wings', and Nix is one of my favorite characters of the team, so seeing her and some other Razor Wing character concepts, I got the "brilliant" idea of wanting to design my own Razor Wing character.
And so...here we are.

This is Owen, an owl-ish Razor Wing.  Since Razor Wings can be any bird, the first thing that came to mind was the great horned owl, so I ran with the idea.
Razor Wings wear 'headphones' so they can actually hear, so I had the idea of giving him the headphones that also have a kind of energy visor that act as a heads up display as well.
That helped me think on his character a bit as to what he was and what he would do and I actually came up with the idea that he would be a kind of hacker/spy/infiltrator, someone that looked pretty harmless at first, but has some skills to help him out in his work.

Color-wise, I know owls do have a patterned look to their feathers, but I wanted to try and keep him simple as well, also I feel I should play around and tweak a few things, but we'll have to see.

Just something fun and simple I wanted to play around with.

Sketch and Color - Street Rat

It's been forever since I was able to get any artwork done, so after getting some sketches done this week, I was finally able to get some finished to show to everyone here.

This offering here is of a very old character I never showed to anyone, this is a street rat...er, rat.
The concept of a "street rat" character has always interested me (I blame the Aladdin concept) so many many moons ago I actually designed one that was, well, an actual rat.
I never did anything with that character for a very long time; if I remember right I didn't even have a name or story concept for him, so when I thought about him last week I decided to actually give him a new look and show him off to everyone.

He doesn't really have a name or a concept to him yet, it might be something I can work on down the line. Name suggestions are always appreciated.

And no, I didn't mean to color his clothing like a jedi.

Sketch and Color - Khavru

This little fella was a random character idea that popped into my head not too long ago and I decided to have some fun working on him.

This little guy is Khavru, a “lovechild” character between my character Bahamut and my friend Pretiossissime’s character Kit; believe it or not, that wasn’t the original intention, it just kind of happened by accident, heh. I don’t have much on the character just yet; I can see him being a kind of traveler/adventurer and/or a kind of monster trainer/tamer, not entirely sure yet.

While the character sketch came rather easily, the colors proved to be a little complicated, I had to tinker around a bit before I got a look I was happy with.
