Falling: The Dragoness Dorian

I made this as a birthday present for my friend in the beginning of October. This character is the vindictive and cold hearted Dorain. She is a blue dragon with eyes to gain the throne.
A lot of things came together to make this. One was doing a costume design for the dragon race. They are a more devout and chaste race who does not believe in showing skin and will wear layers upon layers of clothes. Got a lot of help from a nude figures book I got for the reference pose I used.
Now for the process. Started on a toned piece of light blue paper. Used Elmers Paintastic Brush Pens , a purple highlighter with a water brush pen, pens, sharpies, white gelly roll pen, and colored pencil. After this it was taken into Photoshop and the blue, black and white cleaned up to be a little more crisp.

Zombie Bridesmaid

Here is one of my own original creations. It is me as a zombie bridesmaid. I was his zombie friend for his psychology class presentation on the fear of zombies. I decided it would be fun to wear my bridesmaid's outfit from Sueanna's wedding this summer with all it's accessories. I like how this doodle turned out. All done in photoshop. Sorry for not putting anything up sooner. Finally getting back into the swing of school.

Original Characters: Falling: Couple Series: Ryu and Lanti

Finally! The last of my couple series from Falling (for now...) this is 4/4. It is the main characters Ryu and Lanti. This was done in sketchbook then scanned and taken to photoshop. The background is a texture of gold leaf provided by WanderingSoul-Stox on Deviant Art.

Now to the story. Lanti is the Princess of the Dragon race on this planet, but didn't know it till a few months ago. She grew up most her life on Earth and thought she was a normal human till the exile Ryu came along saying he was her protector and needed to get her back home. Now they are back on their home world intent on changing all the rules.

Original Characters: Falling: Couple Series: Spud and Haru

This one is 3/4 in my Falling couples series. These two are Spud on the left and Haru on the right. The cracked desert earth behind is the stock image of super-chicken-stock on Deviant Art. This was done in my sketchbook and finished up in photoshop.
Now to their story. Spud is a Nagera, a crossbreed between Myrmids and Dragons. Her kind live as outcasts in the desert. They captured Haru, a rather high ranking Black Dragon soldier. The Nagera wished to create more of their kind with more Dragon traits to become spies. The Princess of the Nagera, Spud convinces them to gain him as an ally and sends her love back to his own kind in hopes of evading more bloodshed between their two peoples.

Original Characters: Falling: Couple Series: Lyra and Fall

This is 2/4 in my couples series from the story Falling. This was done in my sketchbook finishing it up in Photoshop. The stock I used for the watery background is from GreenEyezz and the pearl is from Hallonnie both on Deviant Art.

The characters are Lyra the new myrmid handmaiden of Princess Lanti, and Fall a male myrmid belonging to the wicked Dragoness Dorian. They both wish to help Lanti with her plan to bring all the races together both Myrmid, Dragon and the crossbreed Nagera.

Original Characters: Falling: Couple Series: Kana and Ji

This is a new series I've completed this is 1/4 for now. It's my characters from Falling. It was taken into Photoshop and given a fiery background provided by suicidecrew on Deviant Art.

These two characters are Kana, the black dragon captain of the guard and Ji, the high class myrmid* servant to the dragon Princess Lanti. She falls for him but like most dragons he mistakes love for just being protective of her. On this planet the myrmids are a slave race to the dragons and for these two to be together the penalty is death if they are ever caught. Of course the Princess Lanti hopes to change all that once she assumes the throne.

The Guardians: Whimsy the Angel

Here is number two in my six part series of the Guardians. Her name is Whimsy and she is a bunny guardian of the Angel race. Her frozen pose turned the Angels into a very pious race even though that is her thinking pose she got frozen in. She is actually quite the flirty character.

The Guardians: Chase the Sheep Demon

Sorry it has taken so long. Finally technology is my friend. This piece is in a series of six. These characters come from a land called Myra and were created by Kisho when he went to this place in his dreams as a child. When not in use they are statues and over the centuries they have been accidentally revered as gods and goddesses of the races they are guarding. She is the guardian for the Demon race and is actually quite a sweetie. She doesn't know how to fly very well yet since she isn't pulled out of her statue form as often to help her race.

The Guardians: Thumbnails

Weell I've been having a little trouble with scanning now that I am back home for the summer. So I am going to put up my thumbnails up til I get more of my series done. If anyone knows how to get Kodak printers to let you change the scanning thresholds that would be great! I keep fighting with that scanner.

Blush Corp: Portrait: Corporal Conundrum

Finally got Corporal Conundrum's portrait up. Sorry it took so long what with finals and heading back to WA. Decided to just have line work behind him that went similar to how I did his hair. Anyways that's it for this portrait series. Stay tuned for my series of Kisho's Guardians! It's a series of six. Also as more Blush Corp characters get more refined in that universe I'll probably add them up here.

Old Work: Original Character: Horus II

This was originally the design for an element of a multi block woodblock print I did in the middle of this spring semester. I saw this tracing paper element that I transferred to my block and had to put it up here. I also added a little feathery background courtesy of: http://rockgem.deviantart.com/
This bird is my character Horus II the son of the Egyptian god Horus. He is a peregrine falcon. Normally I draw him in his more human form but for the project I was doing I wanted to make him more of an icon rather than a figure since his lover Naomi was the central subject in the original piece.
I think I will use this block again though for possibly an invitation or card. It's a solid image. What's funny is I came up with this before realizing I really do like working more graphic with that silhouette feel. I think with the rest of my art I have overcomplicated things a little too much. Anyways always feel free to add your constructive thoughts and feelings on the things you see.

Blush Corp: Portrait: Subtlety

Sorry this one took a bit longer to get up. This is Subtlety's portrait. I have decided like with Retna Burn to use parts of her face make up as the indication for the background. Scanned in and background done in Photoshop. Stay tuned for Corporal's portrait!

Blush Corp: Portrait: Retna Burn

Here is Retna Burn's closer portrait. She likes shiny things. I once again had fun playing with the background but used one of the silly star brushes in Photoshop messing a bit with the brush presets to get it to do what I want. I like how each time I start experimenting a little bit more in with Photoshop's tools. I still eventually want to create logos for each character in Blush Corp and may rework the background in the future to something more like Blush's portrait.

Blush Corp: Portrait: Lady Blush

I am now working on experimenting with using the silhouette with a face. I started this series as usual with Blush. Expect more to come with the other four Blush Corp characters. Also I played with patterning putting the Blush Corp logo I created behind her as a pattern. Done with ink and Photoshop.

Character: Squee

This is one of my original characters Squee. She is the guardian of the Goddess Danu's son Random. This piece was done with marker and acrylic for the green with some work in Photoshop.

Steampunk: Chase the Second in Command

This piece I did for my sister's birthday. The background that I faded in was by http://cloaks.deviantart.com/
The outfit was what she dressed up as when we went to the Abney Park, Circus at the End of the World in Seattle, WA. We all thought she looked like the second in command of the airship while my friend Hannah looked more like the captain. I will more than likely continue this series with my other friends outfits later on.

Blush Corp: Subtlety

The last in my series of Blush Corp characters for now...still need to do hostage.
This is Subtlety, Blush's great great etc. granddaughter who Blush wished was a better villain like her but right now is only minion material. Oh and PS she acts the ooopposite of her villainous namesake.

Blush Corp: Retna Burn

This is the third in the Blush Corp series. Retna Burn fell into a vat of rave-ioactive goop and from then on was a villain. She is another of Blush's minions and has the ability to glow as bright as a sun when the lights are off.

Blush Corp: Corporal Conundrum

This is the second in the Blush Corp character series. It is my friends character Corporal Conundrum who works for Blush. He thinks he is a wonderfully evil villainous minion but he doesn't succeed in doing much evil at all.

Cassi's Contoured Characters: Blush

In this blog I am going to be posting twice a week different silhouetted characters I have drawn up. Starting off are my characters from Blush Corp. An online series I am starring in as the character Blush. Check out Blush Corp on Facebook under pages.
This first piece is the silhouette of my character Blush.
