Unruhe. Yeah, I know, its just a different version of the image I uploaded for halloween just last night. Played around with it this morning and came up with something I liked a lot better, at least it suits more to what I was initially aiming for mood-wise, but a little more chilly. Art & character ©2004 Arphalia (Who will not be making a habit out of uploading various versions of the same basic image. Promise.)

Happy Halloweenie. Art & character ©2004 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.)

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

Sinner. Art & character © 2004 Arphalia.

"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.

"Pearl Necklace." Something I wanted to do to surprise Aya. Sketch with photoshop shoppingshopityshopop. (I have been up for 31 hours straight during a week where I have hardly slept soo..) <3 me. Art & Arphie © 2004 Arphalia. Aya, of course, is © Savannah H (she's lullaby-child on DA) I misses me my sissy-face.

Tikki and Victor are O-L-D characters of mine, created while I was writing an insane amount of 'Tale Spin' spin-off fanfiction. The drawing of them here, however, is quite recent due to coming down with a case of nostalgia. I've got a longer description for this image over on DA (username arphalia) that I won't repeat here for the sake of page spam. It would get rather spammy. Just a sketch that got adjusted in photoshop.

"Forsaken." I forgot to change the actual file to be the title but its oddly fitting as is. Anyhow, another photoshop'd to hell and back sketch of Arphie. Sad no? Hit 100 deviants on DA with it (username arphalia for those who're curious). Thats almost depressing! ;p Art & character © 2oo4 Arphalia.

"Repose." Sketch of Arphalia after some photoshoping. Light effects were from a photo of a building after it got run through PS. Art & character © 2oo4 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.

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.

"Silence me." The sketch went along with another image I had grayscaled, called Breathe Me In. I believe that was uploaded a while ago of anyone was curious. I needed a break from doing badges last night, so took the second part of this little 'sketch series' and message around with it in photoshop. Its something different. I don't play around in photoshop enough. Characters and Art are © 2oo4 Arphalia.

Shy Siamese. (Though its been mentioned she looks more Balinese. I'll get it right one day.) Done in colored pencils and black ink as a sort of warm up pic before coloring actual commission stuff. x_x Art © 2oo4 Arphalia.

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

Winter. Done in colored pencils and black ink with accents of these teeny glass gems made to look like crystal. This is one of two pix that actually sold at Midwest this weekend. If anyone remembers the Siamese I uploaded a few days ago, that should be up for sale on Furbid sometime soon. I'll make a note on my website when that happens. (Or you can just check my 'just me' page. Username Arphalia (duh).

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?

"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.

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.

Ink doodle to break in a new sketchbook and pull myself out of this cursed art slump. Fleh.

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.

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

Swinger. (c) 2oo2 Arphalia. "Ever wonder what would happen it all moods attacked on creature at once?" Inks, black pencil and water color splattering. Yay.

On the other side of pain. Zenithe and art (c) myself.. durr. Photoshop mess over what was done in marker. Someone told me it had a 2D construction paper effect. I.. kinda liked the idea, but wish I thought of it. Dammit. "Not always how it seems."

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

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

Incandescence. Arphalia and Zenithe and art (c) myself. Monochrome in black pencil with photoshop tinting. "Don't go. Not this time."

'Rette Break. Art (c) my former coffee-wenching self. All ink pens. "Gotta match?"
