Ugh… Tired! It’s been a long day~ Here is the progress that I completed from the stream earlier today. Thank you everyone for joining me and making it a successful stream.
As for the piece itself… The skin paint needs some smoothing and cleaning up, and more fleshy tones need to be added to give her skin a more human appearance. But it’s almost where I want it!
Hopefully I can knock this one out soon~

Been working like an Egyptian slave lately! Got a few new progress sketches ready to show off here. The first is of a commissioner’s Original character, Betty. From what I know, she is a character in his original comic series that he is working on creating, other than that, she has ice powers! My commissioner seemed like he wanted us to have a lot of creative freedom with this one, so I got carried away playing around with her outfit to better show off that “Faerie’s Dice Flair”… o-o;; But seriously, I hope you don’t mind, and I hope you like the results! I promise the colors of her original outfit will be present within this new design. Also, her jacket sleeve is rolled up on her right arm, and her arm is frozen. Those are ice crystals.
And as for the second image… It’s a WIP of a contest entry that Antigone and I have been collaborating on. The contest entry is to design an Anime styled Magical fighting girl for a Japanese Trading card game. The winner gets cash, their card in the game, the card, as well as some future opportunities. We felt that this contest is seriously within our best interest, and is the change that Faerie’s Dice has been searching for. Win or Loose, this image is going to have our all, and I mean our ALL put into it! Like I said, we are playing to fucking win, but also to remind ourselves of what art truly means for us. The image itself is representative of a person that is very special to me, as well as a place that seems like a distant memory.
Hope you enjoy,

Welp~! Here she is. Been workin on her for about a week now. A LOT longer than I had originally planned on spending with this blondie. But hey, I think she turned out all right. There is an obvious, NOT SO HIDDEN sub-reference goin on in this image. 10 points for whoever can identify said reference! Oh… and for those of you who don’t know, this is an OriCa card artwork that someone commissioned me to draw for them of Cyber dragon (No that’s not the sub-reference). If you like it, you too can get a commission from us~ All three versions of her are present within this post. The clothed version, the topless version (for my personal and your personal enjoyment too~) as well as the full sprite set of her. I posted the sprites because, as you can see, a lot had to be cut off for that final illustration! I simply couldn’t let 1/3 of my hard work go to complete waste… maybe someday I will animate her in Live 2D… I dunno! We’ll see!
One final note: Sorry for the inactivity guys. Just been workin hard. For those of you who have been kind enough to commission us. We thank you deeply for your patients, and will strive to get your work done as quickly as possible!

This is the official sketch for our 2011 2012 Artbook~ My part in this is almost done Im just going to help with the base colors then its onto Bryan for the details and the background.

All right people. I’m going to be straight up with you. You are here. This is our site. If the content here offends you, then leave! It’s that simple.
As many of you know, we here at Faerie’s Dice create many pieces of nude/Erotic artwork. Why? Why do we do what we do? and What exactly does it mean to us?
I’m going to explain ourselves, Once. And only this once.
BECAUSE WE ENJOY IT! Honestly? Is there any better reason to create something? Is there any other reason to do anything in life? What exactly is the point to anyone doing anything if they don’t enjoy it? Many people might look at this image and respond with.. “Well you’re a pervert and you enjoy perverted things!”. Sex? I enjoy Nudity and sex. Guilty as charged! As an artist, and I’m also a human. I enjoy seeing the nude human form, it’s a beautiful and intricate design. I enjoy it so much that I have spent years studying it’s form, and have devoted my life to recreating it in it’s most natural state. Sex? Yep. I enjoy sex. I enjoy a natural biological process that well over 6 billion humans and animals have gone through and continue to go through every day. I cherish and enjoy the act of two people passionately expressing their love for one another. I see the beauty of the act, and feel it’s recreation is an art in itself. To be able to recreate such an emotional and delicate experience within a piece of art, I don’t see that as perversion. I see it as a skill.
We here at Faerie’s Dice, we Love what we do. It’s a passion, and we take it seriously. And believe it or not, were human beings too. We have feelings. It hurts our feelings and it hurts badly when we read a hurtful comment, or have our own friends and family say hurtful things to us. But even so, we continue to do what we love, and we do it for no other reason than because we love it. We don’t create the art we create to hurt your sense of morality, we do it because we love what we create, and we love the feelings and emotions that come along with them.
If you feel offended by nudity, and if you feel offended by sex, then perhaps you need to take a look in the mirror and have a long talk with yourself, and if you believe in one, your god. Because let me give you a hint, your god didn’t give you a naked body to be afraid of, and your god didn’t give you genitals to create sin with.
If you don’t agree, that’s fine, you don’t have to. But don’t argue to any of us about our morals, our thoughts, and most importantly, our Art.
You have been warned. We mean business. If you are a hater, you will not be tolerated.

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.

“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!

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!

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!
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!
