Fall Nessa Progress

Fall Nessa Progress

Gawd… This one has been killing me. I’ve been putting pretty much all I’ve got into this. Reason being…

Antigone and I are Rebranding and Revamping Faerie’s Dice. It was a fun year, but it’s time for a much needed change, and with that change, we need Nessa to change along with Faerie’s Dice. Thus… explains the new Fall look that she is sporting now.

I’ll go into more detail later as to what this new rebranding means for Faerie’s Dice, and it’s loyal supporters~ Only good things can happen from here on out. But for now, As for this drawing… Every single part of it has been a long rocky road… After I had fully rendered the skin, I had to completely erase the face area, and do major edits to the face and hair. Luckily, all went well, and Nessa herself is basically finished.

With any luck, tomorrow I will cram all day and get a background going. And when that’s finished, I’ll post the final version tomorrow.

the rebirth of Faerie’s Dice is imminent. Look forward to it everyone~

Black Luster Reborn

Black Luster Reborn

So! recently someone commissioned me to do a revision of my favorite image that I have drawn so far,

Photobucket

And edit her so that she was completely nude. Needless to say, I was STOKED. This image is by far, one of my top favorites. I love my BLS girl. XP The figure I gave her was so full and “Sensual” so naturally I enjoyed turning her into a fully nude figure. It was actually quite a process. There were so MANY anatomy mistakes, like horrendous ones. I had to pretty much repaint her, and I made sure to add extra details where I could. I re-positioned her pose a bit, and once again, made tons of corrections to her anatomy. I do hope it looks okay, and reads well to you all. I really think that this is an improvement over the original. (Though the original had some flair to it that still makes it comparable to some degree)

Oh yes, and this piece will be in our Faerie’s Dice art book “Year and a Day”. The book will be a collection of 20 of our best pieces of artwork during the beginnings of Faerie’s Dice, as well as personal writings from both antigone and myself, and even an art tutorial that details our creative process.

Enjoy everyone~

Grapha Dragon Lord of Dark World Sketch

I’ve been really slow on my commissions lately, but with this, things are gonna change! This was a really really difficult one to work with making sexy. But so far so good. I’m going to move on to the line art now, and hopefully get the coloring on it done soon. FYI, the person who commissioned this wanted us to craft it into a double wide deck box! Our first time making one that is double wide, fun fun! I can’t wait to finish thing up and send it to him!

Dream Hack updates + Kiriban 5000!

Above are some pieces of Concept art in progress for the two characters, Raven, and Cardinal. Both have yet to be full rendered. Some changes are likely to be made in their designs before they are moved on to the final coloring stages.

So in other news, a promotional kiriban contest is going on in our Deviantart Page right now!

Below is a link to our Deviantart page as well as the Journal Entry, taken from our page.

http://faeriesdice.deviantart.com/

“Hello everyone!

We have been getting a lot on new watchers lately and have really been wanting to do a contest but we don’t think that there are enough active watchers to do so! D:

SOOOO we (Bryan and I) have decided to have a “contest” for who can catch our 5000 Kiriban</i>!

Its amazing how much response we have been getting from everyone on Deviant Art and we want to celebrate that by giving whoever catches a screen capture of the 5000 Kiriban</i> (or the closest to 5000 we receive if nobody gets the 5000) and sends it to us either here or to our email faeriesdice@gmail.com will get a drawing from us!

Yep, that’s right. For doing basically nothing, you get a free commission from us of pretty much whatever you would like. Of course there are SOME limitations. Nothing too elaborate, preferably only two characters. Also, if the winner should want an OriCa card commission, we can do the illustration, but we can’t craft and ship the card for free, that will cost a little extra. And no horse porn/ Zombie porn.

Other than that, sky is the limit! A Sexy OriCa card, a full illustration, furry, softcore ecchi, hardcore hentai. Whatevvverrrr you want! ^-~

We understand that we have many loving supporters that don’t have the money to support us, for all you guys, this is the least we could do for you. Thanks so much for supporting us and bringing us so much success! <3 <3 <3

Good luck to you all!!!

Antigone and Bryan of Faerie’s Dice”

On a side note we have a pole going on right now to see what you all would like to see from us more so make sure you go vote on it!

Holy Water Healing

Holy Water Healing

I’m sure many of you might be sick of seeing these two by now, but just in case you aren’t! Here is the final version of both mystic Elf and Aqua spirit together! I was commissioned to do this, so I do hope it turned out well! I tried to take elements from each of their backgrounds, and combine them into one scene. I kinda think it turned out okay. =)

This image will be crafted into one of our Yugioh OriCa cards, however! It will be the first completely original card. It’s going to be a special magic card, with a unique effect!

Hope you all enjoy!

Aqua Spirit & Mystic Elf

Hey there everyone. Here is some progress on my latest Yu-Gi-Oh Orica Commission. Honestly, I really don’t have much to say about these. I was really excited to do these at first, as these two cards and what they symbolize mean so much to me. But to be honest, lately I have felt just terrible. I’ve been criticized a lot, for just doing what I love doing. I try not to bother anyone or hurt anyone’s feelings with my art, I just do it because I love it. But constantly I get criticized and hated every now and then. It always hurts though when a family member is the one to bring fire. Honestly, it hurt. Badly. I’ve been afraid to do any work or really post anything at all. I love what I do, and I love what I am. I have no doubts about what I am doing, nor any doubts about my moral and spiritual compass. But others do about me. Knowing there is family behind my back, secretly talking about me and that are ashamed and disgusted at who I am, what I am all about, and what I love to do. It makes me uneasy and afraid to do anything. For the past few days, I truly haven’t been living. I’ve just been miserable, frustrated, and afraid. It’s times like these that I need the goddess to help guide me. And even so, It makes me even more afraid to know that I put myself in even more danger just by saying the word “Goddess”. The powerful spirit that I believe in, that I understand, that I learn from, was born from, and that guides me, is so hated…

Hello everyone! Just a small update with my latest Yu-Gi-oh OriCa card commission! I went ahead and did the Line art for both of them! Now that they are nice and clean, I am going to proceed with the base colors, and then the painting process. =)

Also! please excuse any sluggish progress. Currently were preparing for our next Anime convention, UltimaCon!

http://ultimacon.com/

This convention is all the way out in New Orleans! So it’s going to be quite the drive for us. Around 7 Hours! We have been (yet again) scrambling to make sure that we are well prepared with a large inventory of products/prints to sell at our Artist Table. =) Wish us luck! As it will be quite the experience for both of us! The convention btw, is taking place right in the French Quarter. Pretty sweet!

To see the finished product! Go Here

I actually finished this drawing a week or so ago, I just forgot that I recorded part of myself creating it! ^^; Anyways, sorry also that I didn’t record myself painting the background. Next time I will be sure to show my entire process.

For those of you that don’t know, this is a sped up video of inking and painting a piece of Final Fantasy XI fanart that I did of a Mithra. The whole thing took around 4 hours. So if nothing else! Sit back and enjoy the music! It’s an awesome FFXI remix by the amazing DJ Plaeskool. The song is called “The Empress’s Secret”. It’s a remix of the song that plays in the main city in the Treasures of Aht Urgan Expansion pack.
Enjoy everyone!

Mithra in the Mirror

Mithra in the Mirror

Hello everyone! Here is a piece of FFXI Fanart that I have been working very hard on for the past few weeks. Honestly, I’ve been pretty down lately due to my Job taking over my life. It has left me no room to really go full force in what I truly love, Art. Well, the past few days I have gotten some freetime, and I’ve decided to use every ounce of it to show off to the world What I truly am. I’m an artist. That is who I am, and Who I have chosen to be! What started off as a simple piece of fanart, I feel I have really gone all out with, definitely more than usual! Everything I painted by hand in Corel Painter 11. No premade Texture brushes, all pure observation and skill. =P

FFXI is a game that means a lot to me. It’s a game that really got me through some rough times in life, and helped me grow as a person. I truly feel like that game and I have grown up a lot together. =) The picture is of a Mithra getting ready for her dunes EXP Party. As she gets ready, she decides to check herself out and make sure she is lookin her best! I think her Moogle approves! Btw, she is wearing a Kenpogi. All you FFXI fans should recognize it!

Thanks so much for your continued support to Faerie’s Dice! We will continue working hard to bring you the content that you love.
