Yesterday was my birthday (possibly is still is my birthday in other parts of the world, y/n?) and I am now 20. Haha, a few people thought I was 21 for a short while, including me, but actually this is not the case! Had a nice dinner and I'll be getting some birthday money. :) Also I've taken the next few weeks off work and that's AWESOMExTENBAJILLIONomg.

In keeping with my bizarre self-imposed tradition, I spent until the wee hours of the morning finishing my current sketchbook. It just so happens that for the last several years my sketchbooks have neared their last few pages around about my birthday, so now I always start a new sketchbook the day after my birthday. I had about ten pages left in the last one two days ago but they're now filled! Which means I HAVE THINGS TO POST. HO SHI-




I like the angsty one in the bottom right best, myself. The dude in the top left is kind of that Scarecrow dude from the latest Batman movie but only kind of. I finally finished the second Phoenix Wright game. I love Franziska(sp?). And Edgeworth. And Nick. And Mia. <333 I'll get the third game when exams are over. Along with a modded PS2 (finally, amirite?) and a couple other games and and GAMING PARADISE OMG.



I really dislike the first Impulse redesign I did. :| For serious. It's in my dA scraps somewhere because it doesn't deserve to go anywhere near the gallery argh. This one I like a lot better. I'll do something more with it when I get time. :D


DnD characters from here on out.


This is my character, Ath. :D Woohoo, a satyr! :B She got excommunicated by her satyr brethren for being a failure at satyring - ie. she has ZERO musical ability and thinks humans are kind of cool. She has an adorable owl named Pepe which she uses as a conversation starter because she's too shy to talk about herself. Also, note that her name is actually my first name backwards. Omygosh, how clever of me! :0



Annastrianna, a sorceress from the elven high court or something. I have no idea what I'm doing with her dress. Leaf patterns and intricate celtic designs are the bane of my existence. I mean, right after motorcycles and detailed backgrounds anyway. Or something.



So halfway through starting to draw the half-orc character I realised I didn't actually know what orcs are supposed to look like, let along half-orcs. I meandered away from the DnD standard a fair bit because they're fuggin' ugly. Fug that. I like Mr. Angryface there. Teefs! He embodies my feelings about DnD-standard half-orc noses (or lack thereof).



I started drawing the studded armour (by the end of this campaign my armour drawing abilities are going to go from nil to WHOAS, I swear) and then his player turned around and informed me that he wanted it to look more hacked-together-by-an-amateur to begin with. Whoops.



This one has the player's approval. Unfortunately, repeatedly drawing those patches of leather with the stitches and the studs is going to drive me INSANE. :c



I really like this one. Especially the way the priestly/magely vestments are applied along the back (it's purely ornamental btw - not actually holding the battlecoat together, lol). The battlecoat and boots came together quickly and she's wearing a cotton shirt and poofy pants (pantaloons, :D?) underneath.



Everyone likes this one. He's a rogue with the infamous alias of ~Nightbreeze~, hahaha I find that HI-larious but I'm not going to mention that to his player. Much. xD The leather vest and thigh/knee guards came out well. I resisted the urge to super gay him up after his player was joking about playing him flamboyantly gay. I'm still going to draw him a teeny bit FABulous though!



The compulsory silent ranger with wolf companion. Silent stalker of the forest, orphan with angsty backstory, not-so-secretly wants to get bitten by a werewolf and have melodramatic monologues aboute the repercussions... Evers RP group has one (minimum). You can see that I very sneakily reused some of the armour from the failed half-orc's design. :D



We probably have the most balanced DnD group ever. Three females and three males, both IRLs and in-game. Huzzah!



Guidelines for the Christmas Art Trade thing will be out in a few days. :D I'll crosspost to dA, of course.
