Art-Lass's Art Blog

behind the scenes in a way

Just Two Left
[info]janjanchan
To celebrate only having two exams left and to fulfill my own need to draw, I have spent the last few days thinking (and recently drawing) my character Azuri. I don't particularly know why I've been thinking about my lil' ninja other than the fact that's very flexible when thrown into any situation my mind thinks up of where others would probably curl up into the fetal position and cry for their mommies or variants of. So here's Azuri!



Her masks looks a little wonky in the smaller picture, but the whole point of that image is to fill up some space and show one her regular outfits. Yeah, armour and the plain thing she's in the rest of the pictures are her regular outfits. She's not much of a fashionista... or very expressive, but I hope I got her emotions through regardless of her having a very stoic outside.

Also, heads up for my next post, because SOME PEOPLE were complaining that I didn't give enough information for my last image, it will be dedicated to my HeartGold character and her team. And by dedicated I mean some pictures and small descriptions, unless there's more COMPLAINING again! GOD! I didn't come onto LJ to hear your 'OPINIONS' and ' HELPFUL OBSERVATIONS'!


-Thanks for viewing!

Tada!

I changed my layout. I like this better. And yes, this is post worthy.

Maybe I should put something a bit more....

The new Doctor is pretty awesome, and I need to tidy my papers before my aunt reorganizes my room tomorrow, so this is definately a good use of time.

Ah, and since this is an art blog and there has been a great absence of art here, I'll post something. Yes, brand new thing, just made, definately.



A little something I did over MSN a few weeks back, and sadly the newest art on my laptop. Gotta get that scanner working, but I won't be trying that till my room's finished with its big makeover.


-Thank you for reading, Janet C Hall

Is There a Better Way than Photobucket?
[info]janjanchan
I'm looking into the different options right now, but if anyone has any suggestions of what they they like best I'd be glad to hear it. I'm tired of putting my pictures up on photobucket, and I don`t want to put them on DeviantArt as it kinda defeats the purpuse since I decided to put only my scraps on here to encourage posting more often.

I think I`m going to use the scrapbook feature here on LJ, but I`m still open to opinions.

Another 2
[info]janjanchan
Here are some other characters:

From Team Kai,


Lysis, a Githyanki Warlock/Swordmage


and Viscera, a Gensai Avenger (and also a pirate)

And from Team Endar,

Talaia, a Tiefling Monk/Invoker


and Lulzy, an undead Human Monk

Revival
[info]janjanchan
I've been away for a very long time, and after thinking about it, I've decided to make this an all-around art blog no longer centered around one of my stories, but showing all my different ideas and interpretations.

Let's start off my revival by posting some D&D pictures. I have a lot of art to cover since I've been hoarding it all for months, but I'll let it out slowly since these take up a bit of space. The following characters are played by my friends Kevin and Carolyn.


This is Endar Telvanni, a Drow Warlord and leader of what we call Team Endar.



and this is Kai, a Dragonborn Paladin of Melora, and leader of Team Kai, the other group.

Our game was split into two, so we have to two stories going at the same time in the same world. I've introduced the heads of the teams, and over the next week I will put up two more in each post from the different groups.

STILL-ALIVE
[info]janjanchan
Hi.


So October 3rd, yeah, that was a lie.


But I'm still here.


Just figuring some things out for my story... hence the break.


I wonder how many people are vested in this, and how many of them aren't Joe? HM... a fascinating question.


Either way here's a sketch:

So Pandora and Dorian, pretty much the main characters besides the 56+ who I consider to be really important.


Before I depart, just wanna say thanks to Joe. I kid but I really appreciate all of your support.


In a little while, at least before the summer, I will have a synopsis of Running Shadows written up and do my best to keep this updated.


No really, I mean it this time.


Anwho, later reader(s).


It's Alive
[info]janjanchan
Just a quick update for the sake of updating. Pretty soon I expect I'll post some unfinished pictures and sketches instead of just hoarding them on my computer, and as far as my story goes, I'm in the process of crunching everything I've written and drawn about it. Hopefully in the near future I'll put up some actual stuff instead of a half-assed update.

On another note, I'm co-oping at the ROM and it is AMAZING! We're setting up planetariums and and touching artifacts and learning about civilizations that precede Sumer. It's sooo cool!

The Beefcake, the Douchebag, and the Fatty
[info]janjanchan

 

OMG art.

Since DeviantArt isn't called "spam-people-with-your-charactersArt" I'll share them on LJ! 8D

The top guy, Zane Shooter (the douchebag), was once part of the Wyvre Squad (a mercenary squad which I will elaborate more on later) but  betrayed them; the reason being he wanted more power. He soon got his wish. The evil mastermind, Boltolf Strayer, who has his schemes wraped in even the most underground or elite organization found him and proposed to give him the power he sought. The price was that Zane would have to work for Boltolf as his own personal killer. Any depraved act he wanted accomplished, Zane would have to do it. Surprisingly enough Zane had no issue with this and was bestowed a more refined version of the Deeper eyes.

Bottom left guy, Dorian Haverstock (the beefcake), is the opposite of Zane. While he is a contract killer, he is soldier of fortune. meaning he'll only take jobs that morally appeal to him. Honour is the most important aspect of his life and he would never betray anyone. When hearing about the corruption in the Antarctic colonies he agreed to work for Octavus Clark and joined the Silver Swan freedom fighters (I need a shorter name for them XD).

Finally the bottom right, Sitis, (Alli Friedman aka crying girl) is a special soldier  of Boltolf's. This picture is back when she was Alli, when she had a family; but when Boltolf destroyed her town because he suspected that rebels had a base there he took her in for experiments. After years of testing and modifying she became Sitis, an advanced cyborg and a member of the elite guard, the Four Horsemen (Sitis being latin for famine). 

Brief, very brief, but informative character descriptions of these three. Now is time for and INSIDE JOKE! Which you can now be apart of! 8D Each member of the Four Horsemen has abilities that somewhat resemble their name meaning (and when I say abilities I don't mean supernatural stuff). When I was brainstorming for Sitis's hers became that she eats everything in sight. So whenever she approaches she screams "FAMINE!!" and eat every ones wheat. That's why her body isn't in the picture, it wouldn't fit XD but seriously, she's not, that stuff is just for the abridged series XDD

SO HURRAY! I'm back and during the summer when I have NO SCHOOL I will keep updated!


BRAIN BLAST!!

Strut Your Stuff on the Cat Walk
[info]janjanchan
Time to introduce my main character of my story Running Shadows, Pandora Gayle!



So this is the main character! Some things in her short little bio probably need some sort of explanation.

First off, the 'hellhound' part. I don't want to give too much away, but before the story begins there's this huge war; WWIII I suppose. During that war, "the Empire" which was the super power then and still is in the present time line decided to manufacture human weapons by enhancing their skills. Three types of enhancements were developed, all of which could be identified by the person's pupils. An individual with no pupils is what's referred to as a 'pureblind' and this heightens the person's sixth sense. A 'deeper' is someone whose senses aren't affected, but their intellect. Statistics say that humans use only about 20% of their brain power, the deeper enhancements allow them to achieve the full 100% and these people can be identified by extremely dilated pupils that reflect no light. The final is the hellhound which enhances the individual's five senses and can be defined by their animalistic pupils as you can see with Pandora.

Concerning "the Empire", it's identity won't be revealed for quite some time. The only information that I can give out is that during the war it sought to unite sections of the world under one banner and while it succeeded for sometime, once its leader died from a disease it weakened considerably, loosening its grip on the places it conquered. In the present though it is starting to regain power, and although it no longer has its amassed land, it is still known as "the Empire".

As for the characters mentioned, they will be put soon enough hopefully along with even more information about Running Shadows which I shall update at least once a week. If I don't feel free to spam me!

Cheerio!
