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!

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

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.

Mithra Mirror Base Color WIP

Mithra Mirror Base Color WIP

Normally I don’t post the Base colors progress shot unless I feel it’s important, however… It’s been way too long since I have actually had the chance to do much art at all. Art is my passion. It’s my love, and it’s what I want to do with my life. It’s who I am, an artist. Yet I have been spending all of my time working my stupid real estate job. It sucks. Someday, someday… Faerie’s Dice will be all I need to support Antigone and I.

Anyways! This is one of those color jobs that hasn’t been coming easy. Stupid me actually forgot to draw her tail on! DX So I had to add that in after I finished. A lot of corrections had to be made and a lot of mistakes had to be corrected.

Mithra Mirror lineart

Hello there! Last week I had the random urge to draw a piece of FFXI fanart. I supposed the inspiration spawned from my downloading a FFXI Soundboard app that I used to change all of the music and notification tones on my Droid. With my phone now sounding like a permanate FFXI exp party, it’s got me feeling a bit nolstalgic of the good ol days…

Back in highschool, FFXI was my life. I was going through some rough times back then. It was definitely a transitional phase of my life that I was having a rough time in. Well, FFXI helped me out a lot, it gave me something to look forward to afterschool, it gave me friends, let me be curious, and let me explore the emotions and feelings of people far away from me. It gave me good times that I will never forget.

In memory of those good times, I wanted to draw a piece of tribute fanart. My Mithra character, Kiaraa, checking herself out in the mirror as she gets herself ready for that dunes EXP party! I hope you all visually enjoy. as drawing a mirror image was one of the hardest things that I have ever drawn! Seriously, I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I drew this image!

Yuu Male Color Sheet

Here is some concept work for the Yuu artbook that we are working on! For those of you that don’t know, The Yuu is a race we created that was inspired our most popular piece of artwork. The Artbook that we are creating will be adult in nature, and will contain many full color illustrations that describe the race fully, as well as writings. The race, as well as the book, is geared towards those who enjoy roleplaying. I’m sure furry fans will particuarly enjoy RPing this race. =)

This sheet shows off the basic color pallete, and gives various examples of the wide range of fur patterns a Yuu Female can have!

Expect the same thing for the Yuu male soon!

New DreamHack Character- Roc

Ok so this is the next character that I have created in the Dream Hack series. I wanted to start off with the younger two first with the girl who i a little bit older and then with this guy Roc. I usually draw women who happen to appear in the late teens or 20′s so this was a challenge for me! At first I drew him WAY too old and he looked like crap but after taking a little break and a breath I finally came out with this cute lil guy <3

I hope you like him as much as you guys like Swallow the first one!!
