My Immortal

"I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone. But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along."

Heh, not supposed to be depressing in the slightest.

Secrets I Could Tell

Sketch digitally colored. Characters are Arphalia and Norla out of Marble Town.

Doc's Lost Lense

Creepy Tree Shael

I'm about to sell him, so I figured I'd do an newer scan and repost Shael looking up to no good while he sits on an abstract burnt-looking shrubbery. ;p This was done back in 2003, on ink paper with colored pencils and a micron. The micron actually went over the black pencil parts, giving it a neat effect of having a light sheen.

Hasten to Drown

A sort of would-be scene from Marble Town, story I seem to be endlessly tweaking. In the actual writing process now. This is another recoloring of an older version. This is much more what I was originally shooting for, and a hell of a lot more clear.

Holy Dark

It needed new colors. Though the original tint provided a warm feeling, this needed something else to darken the mood a bit.

Nerd Love

Nerdy boys need love too. <3 Art ©2007 Arphalia.

Khaytier's Nocturne

"Though darkness lay, It will give way, When the dark night, Delivers the day" - snippet from Secret Garden's Nocturne.

I could just see her spinning poi to this song echoing in the distance, with nothing but her breath, her thoughts and the winds through softly cutting through the tallest of redwoods. I wish I had the capacity to picture the scene as I feel it.

Cannon. This is from 2003, but the old scan I had on here was terrible. Its a mess of media - markers, colored pencils, ink.. Mostly drawn at Denny's late at night so go figure. Art & character ©2003 Arphalia.

"No price for goodbye." Sketch grayscaled and tinted in photoshop. Art & characters (Norla & Arphalia of my Marble Town story) ©2005 Arphalia.

More character work for MT. Sketch rendered in photoshop for grayscales and tinting. Art & character Iona Verleigh ©2005 Arphalia.

"Remember Me" Sketch grayscaled and tinted in photoshop. (Decided against the initial tinting at the very last minute. Sorry about that. c_c;) Art & characters (Norla & Arphalia) ©2005 Arphalia.

"He once was a true love of mine.." (As sung by Sarah Brightman. Simply beautiful version of this song, making the lyrics and overall feel just fit to these two somehow. Can't help it, I listened to it a lot while doing the colors.) Sketch run through photoshop for tinting. Art & characters (Norla & Arphalia) ©2005 Arphalia.

Reupload with less bright blue tinting. After redoing it I cannot stand the brighter version so.. Up with this one. Arph and his pappy didn't get along very well. (Story related.) Art & characters ©2005 Arphalia.

Breathe you in. Sketch run through photoshop for tinting. Art & characters ©2005 Arphalia.

Kinda sorta out of Arphie's story if the title is taken into consideration. Roughly means 'not yet' insofar as breaking under pressure/stress/whathaveyou. Sketch tinted/colored in photoshop. I'll have prints of this one with me at FC. Art & character ©2005 Arphalia.

Arphalia and his creepie things, this time in color! (Got on a tinting kick while printing things out for MFF and hit a few of the grayscales.) Art & character(s) ©2oo4 Arphalia.

So I kinda had the holiday blues this year, though without any reason to. Things are going rather well. I think it was just stress catching up with me during a time (the holidays) when I'm typically already stressed out. Thankfully, I had good people around and all is well. Did this during a moment of 'augh' and I like it for sad/cute value. ;p Art & character ©2004 Arphalia.

My art show name sign for MFF (Midwest FurFest) next weekend, thus giving away the fact I'll be there this year. Feel free to come up and say hello, but don't do anything creepy or Minstrel Stan will sing at you. (I'm serious.) Finding me at the con probably won't be too hard. I like cigarettes. Your places to look are limited. ;> Anyhow.. ._. Art ©2004 Arphalia.

The String. Arphie needs a hug. Sketch run through photoshop. Arphalia & art ©2004 Arphalia.
