In the mega-city of New Veloe City, disco isn't dead...it's just doing "20-to-life". A seriously cheap backgrond until I finish The 3D CG set...

After AI-Trooper, I wanted to play with adding more detail in the materials beyond my chrome efforts... This one isn't as detailed cause the armor's new and parts of it are plastoid resin covered...

Nikko S'banti (c) David C Ashmore...

Took two days of work to finish... It wouldn't have taken so long if my tablet worked - though I might not have bothered to detail the battle damage. Most of the detail survived the resizing and image compression...

The armor is a design that I have "evolved" over the last 8-10 years (I only just recently came up with a good female breast plate for this suit).

The sword is a little larger than I'd perfer for this type soldier, but it looks good anyway. The color job was strongly inspired by "The Master Chief" from Halo (copyright Bungie) otherwise the suit would have looked much less impressive... I still havn't designed a good helmet yet...

When I have a name for my model here I'll send it up with a revised image of her...or a whole new one altogether...

The sam Dhani from "Dhani-sk01.jpg" a few years years older and a 2nd Lieutenant in the Cersile Spacefleet. Still a sweet bit of fluff, Dhani is more of a shameless flurt than an exhibitionist now. She is also the friend of one Viky Star.

Colored in PS7 edited and back and fore grounds made in PSP 6.02.

Another PS7 exercise and an attempt to get used to using my Trackball until I can get a new tablet. I like the glow around her.

Mother Sanari is an old sage. An immortal she has watched the Cersile people grow and prosper, become cruel and petty, and endure the near-genocidal wrath of the Aphkian wolves. She is a teacher now but returns to the sword as needed. She's nearly invincible but never seeks victory for victory's sake. Forever seeking meaning in conflict to help her better secure the future she and many others work so hard to build.
She was also the one who raises a young kitten, Tabala Ori, to be ready for a bleak quest to humble a dragon and further protect the future.

Another Sabre-cat... Nakaro is the leader of the group. Snappy dresser and always clear-headed. Everyone whose ever met him leaves liking him, even his enemies. He's a more than capable fighter but is a far better adventurer and problem solver.

"I lost a tooth being a tough guy. I gained a lot more being friendly."

Nakaro (c) David C Ashmore 1994-2002

Nikko S'banti, a high ranking offier in the Assembly General Police. She is empowered to do whatever it takes to stop crime... Her current assignment is the commerce planet of Paris Minor to deal with and regulate the "superhores" and "supervillians" that inhabit the capitol city of Veloe City, a city the size of Asia with elevations spanning nearly 25 miles. She's a vicious law enforcer, especially since her niece, Miami, the young version of a pervious image posted), lives with her but well clear in a neighboring metroplex, New Veloe City.

"Drop it or there will be...trouble!"

Nikko S'banti, Miami S'banti (c) David C Ashmore 1989-2002. 13 Years...Man I was busy...

I do not draw her enough... Meet Keiluko, "Queen of the Neo-ceknyurians"... To her titles are, however, totally irrelevant... She was a prisoner granted great power to escape but abused it terribly, destroying many worlds. Then she meet the daughter she gave up in prison, now known as Elzabeth M'roln, she found her self on the outside looking into the life she always wanted for herself and her child.

Keiluko now fights against the seemingly inavoidable tides of doom to protect her daughter so she can fulfill her destiny as the chosen one the defeat the Void, a nigh omnipotent force of destruction, once and for all... Keiluko still tries to find time to be part of her daughter's life posing as a aunt rather than her mother...for now.

Keiluko, Elzabeth M'roln, and "The Void" (c) David C Ashmore 1999-2002

"Fighting crime in a future time..."
Yet another old design I dredged up from the late-80s or so. Slightly remodeled for the 21st century, this is an advanced combat action pacification suit with pulse ion emmission rifle. The armor uses energy fields as shields and secondary locomotion by using kenetic beams aimed and defussed with energy fields to propel the suit and its user up to 300 miles and about 65 mph.

This is just part of a re-model I've slated for Nikko S'banti. More on her later.
Obey all pedestrian laws and thank you for your cooperation...

Nothing too spectacular...A mage fox... Actually belonging to a Bakeii, a race very similar though smaller to the Aphkians, breed known as the Sha'hebbii. Their known for the psychic abilities and willowy, almost ghostly, bodies... They make better spies than fighters.

Sha'hebbii Bakeii (c) David C Ashmore 2002

Yet another sabre-toothed cat, Her teeth were never as large and she always had a much more mature appearance than Coniquoi.
She's want to be the leader of their group, but finds her attiude is a major problem to that. Still shes a great fighter and quick-thinker under pressure...

I shortened her mane a made the out fit somewhat see-thru - but you'll actually have to stare to see anything. The shading is in the wrong direction -relative to the background(I anyways do the backgrounds last), and I forgot the floor shadows again...
All n' all, not too shabby... I just need to take my time...

(c) David C Ashmore 1994-2002. Eight years and I still have more far older...

He was the second sabre-cat I ever drew way back in 1994... He translated well but I changed the color of his outfit a the last moment.

His a decidedly cute young fellow who enjoys the woods and the presence of girls...they seem to enjoy him as well...

(c) David C Ashmore 1994-2002...

Coniquoi... a rarity for me...a prehistoric animal...a Sabre-toothed cat.
She is an aspiring fighter with a fairly cautious style that doesn't allow opponents to take easy advantage of her inexperience.

I made her up only eight years ago and her outfit, drawn as it was then, still looks great...

Copyright (c) David C Ashmore 1994-2002. But wait! There's more...

Lyn...My original Ninja-kitty...
Before Kayja Laggi there was one little miss who had the gall to take on the worst the universe had to offer.
Her outfit's been a bit updated, only a little, butt she's still a cutey... enjoy...

Lyn (c) David C Ashmore 1989-2002. 13 years...I gots a million of 'em.

I keeps finding them... Another little missie over ten years old...

Roxy's just a well made young lady who enjoys a good workout and a quiet beach. She makes friends easily but can't seem to shake her ninja pal, Lyn, when she's on a date...

Roxy (c) David C Ashmore 1989-2002. 13 years...an omen...

Another in a long line of bikini-clad kittens that I drew 9 years, or so, ago. As I dig up more of them I may re-draw them...
Miami translated quite well. I also, half-@$$edly, experimented a bit with some cell shading... It was simple and I may try it again soon...

A quick sktech of I did of a charcacter I created nine years ago...
I like the simple, ready-to-print, look of it. I didn'y mean to make quite so big though. The original ws buff but not as big.

Saida (c) David C Ashmore 1993-2002

Pronounced "La hair", this is one of only two "normal" angels I have ever created for the purposes of a story. L'haer is one of the Principle Guardians of Creation, a caste of demi-deities, super-beings, and so on who must defend the Omniverse against the ever-present threat of the Void...
She and her young sister, Chenni, are constantly sent away by the other guardians to find help for their cause... Most who know L'haer and Chenni think they are being dismissed and ignored by their peers...
Frankly, L'haer is glad she doesn't have to fight...

L'haer (c) David C Ashmore 2002

A fine sunny day on the heavily forrested homeworld of the Aphkian people. Mahssi is an Imperial shocktrooper on leave on her way to one of Aphka's numerous and vast freshwater lakes. Trained to fight and expected to drop everything in an instant if called for, she is ever prepared for combat - hence the fighting gloves... She also works-out by wearing de-activated heavy shock power armor. It's like wearing a resistance suit and carrying 800 lbs. at the same time.
Mahssi's fur tone is rather rare for a c'nuuffii lupine...now if she had blue eyes too, then that would be rare...

Mahssi, C'nuuffii aphkian, and Aphka are (c) David C Ashmore

I finally got my tablet to work...

To test it I used it to color Gyra here... I like the outfit.

Gyra herself is a professional bodyguard and personal trainer for a politically powerful family who is in a rather poor standing with the the ruling prides of the Casid Lions. She's kept quite busy, but is typically assigned to protect the children... She'd rather be fighting. Still she is diligent and patient with her charges.

Meet the Champ...

An Aphkian Lupine fighter of one of the mountain clans.

A preistess of the fist, Mother Cleareyes is foresworn to use no other weapons besides her fists and feet in battle - she can't even use her claws. She lost her sight due to a genetic defect. One that would have been corrected in her youth if she'd been told of it.
She is mainly a teacher now, but can fight and defeat all but the most skilled and powerful fighters...

Mother Cleareyes (c) David C Ashmore 2001

One of the reasons that Kayja is the top covert agent is she is also a powerful sorceress. Almost all her spells and powers manifest as fire or some expression of heat... That an she's an incredible fighter and soldier.

(Need to watch those proportions)

Kayja Laggi (c) David C Ashmore 1993, 2002

Meet Mgr. Kayja Laggi (In dress blues)...
She is the top covert agent for the multi-galactic government known as the Assembly of Co-allied Worlds and Galaxies.
The rank of Major is the Earth equilvalent...

Cheesy background...doesn't matter...this one Will be re-done and replaced.

Kayja Laggi (c) David C Ashmore 1993, 2002

You know you're bored when you make an error while drawing a character (drawing little horns instead of ears) and make it into a new "species"...
I liked what I got anyway in that quick sketch and drew Kateir... I still haven't quite named her "species" but her's is a hardy race of fighters, explorers, and adventurers...

Kateir (c) David C Ashmore 2002

Camaii... Started as a sketch I did for practice... I tried to write her into a few rough stories and develop a backstory for her... No dice.
Anyway, She's looking for a home (a series for me to slate her for)... She'll likely just end up another member of either the League of Super-Powered Athletics or The League of Mystic Arts and Combat.

Camaii (c) David C Ashmore 2001-2002

Nyrians are not commonly found "beefed-up". They, particularly the females, perfer to be lean and lathe...
Tujera, as a member of the League of Super-Powered Athletics, is an obvious exception. She is a mistress of confusion with movements that are as beautiful as they are confusing...
Few ever confront her and leave on their feet (some can't even find the ground lying on it)...

Done with Paintshop Pro and Photoshop LE (limited Ed. - having both PS-LE is only good for it's filters).
Re-downloaded because the first time the image wasn't properly compressed...

Asha 1-1, the gymnast...
A member of the League of Super-Powered Athletics, she is a happy, daffy, kitten who could care less about fighting (one of the main activities there).

I consider this one of my better markered drawings. The toning was less than grand but was accomplished with charcoal pencils.
The background was done in Paintshop Pro...again with the use of layers and filters.

Asha 1-1 (c) David C Ashmore

Meet Iesha (the gold kitty)and Ko (the scary cat)... Both are deadly assassins hired by a power hungry bureaucrat of a vampire bat to kill his rivals... They usually succeed flawlessly...
Orginally, I envisioned these two to as twins... but after much reconsideration, I decided to change that... They were too much like Anipuna and Anipuna, from Masamune Shirow's Tank Police, with way more firepower and competence...

This was scanned from a single thumbnail drawing only two inches tall... I colored this in Paintshop Pro 6 without the use of layers... I have got to get me tablet working again (bloody drivers!)

Jaikard a few years older, better equipped for combat, and a good deal more mellow...

I did this one just to design the outfit (which I like better than his old duds)...

The compression rendered the image a bit...funkified...

Jaikard Sarvic (c) David C Ashmore 1991-2002 and beyond...

A rather non-descript Aphkian Vixen looking cute just before she leaves for a short vacation.
The ball floating next to her is a sorcerial (magic) terminal used by learning mages to help organize their spells a limit which spells they use... Sorta' like training wheels on a bicycle...

The same scheme as Jaikard but I have little intention of making alternate version...
If I ever have a name for her, then I may use her again...
