Camory Shrike

Camory Shrike, another bird monster who's Sado Rook's would-be companion. Unfortunately for her, she's diurnal (whereas he's nocturnal), and too sweet natured for him despite her fearsome appearance.

She hangs out in Australia.

Done with PS7, OC3.

The Maharajah

I don't think he's a real maharajah, no; he's just called as such. This came to me after I listend to the intro of 'Hindi Sad Diamonds' off the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. It's got this heavy plodding beat that reminds me of stomping elephants. His story is located over at my lj here:

It feels good to paint again, though this was just a quickie.

done with OC3, pencil, pen.

Inspired heavily by: aforementioned song, pictures of Indian war elephants, and pictures of Indian jewelry.

This isn't anything special but eh, is a good starter for the portfolio.

Manticore Test

It's a manticore* (in the vaguest of senses) that popped into my head after I saw a picture of one done by Neondragon (see below). Now that I look back, the colors don't seem quite right-- in my head, it's more of a golden "burning beauty" kinda thing.

Will develop this more. The design has already been refined since this picture (new sketches are at my lj).

Underwater dogs or dogs reflected in the water? This looks so much better in real life, and folds like a lil screen too.

Sado Rook:
-Says he's named after the mad Korean prince.
-Is a bird monster of some sort.
-Named himself [had no parents to speak of, just appeared]
-Thinks himself to be quite fearsome and powerful.
-Generally wears Korean garb, to fit his name.

He looks all funky cause at first I was gonna do perspective, but forgot once I got to his arm/hand.

Done with pencil, OC3

The Moon's Breakdown

There's a LOT of things wrong with this one but I still like it. May retry it someday-- gotta be braver and skew the anatomy more to push the perspective.

done with OC3, pencil, pen.
