"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.

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.
