Finished with a commission for an awesome friend. ^^ She wanted me to do a FFXIII fanart piece of Lightning, a character I’m sure many of you know of. I’ve never actually played through the game fully, but I think this picture has inspired me to pick it up, and see why so many people dislike 13 D=!

Anyways, I really enjoyed drawing this. It was a huge change of pace for me, especially drawing such a mature woman’s face! Normally I like to draw women with cutesy faces, but I actually enjoyed this.

Hope you all like it!

My part of the four part commission is out of my hands now! Bryan will be doing the other two parts and is halfway done with one of them already!

This one was to draw Lumina the Lightsworn Summoner! She was hard to draw ;-;

Enjoy!

Here is my finished OriCa Commission for the Yugioh card, Rai-Mei.

Rai-Mei went along smoothly in many areas. The body as well as the pose just seemed to come naturally to me. However, towards the end I began to have a mental meltdown. The hair gave me tons of trouble. So much so that it has lead me to completely reform the way I approach hair for future commissions. Granted, as much as I love Rai-Mei’s hair, it’s weird and hard to approach.

Anyways, I hope he likes it. Now it’s on to what just might be the most challenging part of this 4 part commission.

Rai-Mei Sketch

Here is my sketch of our next OriCa card, Rai-Mei. This card is part of a huge commission set. Rai-Mei is actually one of my favorites, and I have been greatly looking forward to doing sexy OriCa art of this card. Surprisingly, this one came super easy to me. I figured coming up with a good pose for her would be a challenge, considering the fact that Rai-Mei’s Original card art actually looks really good and already has an excellent and dynamic pose.
Anyways, I hope he likes it!

Grapha Dragon Lord of Dark World

Grapha Dragon Lord of Dark World

Here is my latest commission, that I have been working on for an eager client! His primary use for this image was to be used for a double wide deck box (that I will be crafting and sending to him) and the image was formatted as such.

I’ll be sure to post pictures later on of what the final version of the deck box looks like.

Design wise, this Image was really difficult to transform into an OriCa Card… DX You would think after transforming Snyffus into something sexy, that I would have absolutely no problem with Grapha. But I did. It was really hard. Finding the right pose, one that I had not already done before, was hard. And then executing it properly was also not very easy. Her color pallet actually gave me trouble as well, I normally work with very saturated colors, so this one was a big deviation.

Hope you all enjoy.

For the winner of the Kiriban 5k! An in progress shot of his prize for showing support to Faerie’s Dice. ^^

Our winner decided for us to create an image, not for himself, but for his two friends! So selfless! I thought it was a really nice of him. =) Not only that, but him and his two friends all have amazing taste in video games. These two characters I have drawn are the Original Characters of his friends, all decked out in Phantasy Star Online 2 styled gear! Honestly, I had forgotten all about this game, but after playing with the character creator to help give myself some inspiration for the clothing designs, I found myself getting excited for the release of the game as well! I can’t wait to play it when it comes out!

With that being said, this sketch has actually taken me quite a bit of time to complete. The main reason is because of the insane level of detail in the costume designs. The textures are HELLA detailed, almost more detailed than that of a Halo Game! DX Essentially, this means more drawing and painting for me! But it’s a labor of love, as I am enjoying every step of this. I am a pretty big PSO fan, and am happy to be doing this awesome piece of fanart!

FYI the character on the Left is Rime, the character on the right is Amethyst. Two amazingly busty/sexy characters if I do say so myself! Happy to be drawing them. ^^

Stay tuned for more!

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

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.

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!
