Happy Halloweenie. Art & character ©2004 Arphalia.

Cicadas drive me insane. Anyhow, done in colored pencils and a bit of black ink for Arphalia's hair and outline. Started out as one of those moody for-me sketches. The coloring bits started in the lobby of Midwest FurFest back in November. It sat around unfinished ever since, until I needed something to warm up on before getting back into these badges. Art & the character Arphalia ©2oo4 Arphalia.

Bid Farewell. Arphalia and art (c) myself. Inks and markers. "Last step down."

"Solitary Arphalia" Done in colored pencils and black ink. Its been a while since I brought a sketch 'for me' to completion. This has been sitting half colored on my desk for months. Art and Arphalia ©2oo3 to me.

Solitary Arphalia - Character detail version. I uploaded the full version a few moments ago. Colored pencils and black ink. Why is it, I only finish stuff for myself when I'm sick?

Blue Christmas. I'm late.. Sketch tinted in photoshop for the use of xmas cards. No regrets for the reaching. Art & character ©2005 Arphalia.

Ink doodle of Aye Ayes drawn up to look Edward Gorey-ish, though I think there's a bit of Burton in there too. They were fun.

Blue Moon. Colored pencils, markers on background and black ink and some dark red ink. As I've been mentioning everywhere else, this was done gradually between other commissions for the hell of it since the initial reason for sketching it in the first place went down zee crappah. Original will be/is for sale, at the moment though, only through email offers. Perhaps on Furbid or at Midwest Furfest if no offers happen to make me jump on a sale. Anyhoo, if you want to keep updated with its sale status, as well as my art in general I have an LJ link off my news section on www.spankedassassin.com that people can add to and get up to date info.

Blue Ocebat. Gavin (c) his creator. Art (c) to me. Inks and colored pencils. No marker. "Coffee. Coffee. Coffee."

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

"Burn." Sketch of Zenithe run through photoshop. Light effect looking bits were from a photo of a tree I'd taken a long time ago. (Photo messed with quite a bit before getting used.) Anyhow.. Been on a PS kick today. Art and character © 2oo4 Arphalia.

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.

Doc's Lost Lense

"Are you sure you lost it over here Doctor?" c_c

Filthy Arphtini

When dirty ain't doin' it. Art and character ©2007 Arphalia.

For 3 : 2 : 1

A long time coming, for Columbia. Done in colored pencils and black ink. Art ©2007 Arphalia.

Freedom was once titled Resignation. Finally finished the remaining inks on this picture in time to sell a print of it for this past FC. Done in colored pencils, ink and watercolor pencils. Art ©2006 Arphalia.

"Hallelujah." Sketch worked over in photoshop. Another bit out of Arph's story. Art & characters ©2004 Arphalia. No touchie.

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.

Sketch (older one) colored in photoshop. Art & character ©2006 Arphalia.

Another progress image, though I don't think it needs to be in sketches like the others from last week. (Go to my sketches section to see those. A lot more liney.) What this one needs yet is a background and a little more work on the character. So far its been done with light grey marker with black and white colored pencils over it. www.spankedassassin.com

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.

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.

"Lavish This." It really really needed a rescan. Now you can see a lot more of the details and there isn't that aweful overall greenish tint going on anymore! :D Colored pencils, metalic gel pens for the curtains, and black ink. Art & characters ©2004 Arphalia. (Drawn in '02.)

"Little Boy Blue." (which I hope didn't just upload twice) Part of Arph's actual storyline/history as opposed the the usual schedule of ANGST. Yes, it is much SAD MILK. ;_; And you'll be Sad Milk if I find this reposted, traced over, used for direct reference, sight-drawn etc. 9_9 Not only is it for a story, it is personal, okay? Please respect. Art & characters © 2004 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.

"Make me real.." Inspired from The Velveteen Rabbit. Done entirely in Photoshop, save the initial sketch. Art © 2oo4 Arphalia.

Character from Marble Town: Maude LaVelle

Done in colored pencils, black ink. Art & character ©2007 Arphalia.

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.
