So basically you have a card name in the top left, cost for using the card in the top right (just make up a cost type, I used paws), a graphic in the middle, a card type at the bottom left of that graphic so the card can be put in a catagory, a card strength in the bottom right of the image (I've never played magic the gathering and don't really know what the numbers mean), a card description for what special effects it has in normal letters at the bottom, and in italics at the very bottom is a description/quote about the card to give it personality.

I was thinking about doing one... Now i deffinitely will do one. Your style looks so fitting on a card.

Awsome!!!!

Cool!

In Magic the Gathering, I believe the numbers in the lower right are Attack-power/Defense-power. It's been a long long time since I've played :)

Just a character sketch. I have a lot of characters I've made up and used in games but never actually drawn.

Your "Dragon" style is strong but my "Cute-as-a-Button" style cannot be beaten! Really liking the eyes, great pic.

Cooler than cool. I love this robot.

I'd say a ton more, but then I'd just feel redundant.

the soft lines are impressive when the subject matter is usually so hard and metallic. i would love to know how you go about painting something so soft. the background is just as intriguing as the subject.

My first thing on this board (which one day a month or two ago I suddenly noticed I had access to) XP

it's going a little slow now since at this size the brush is skipping a little and cutting corners if I draw too fast.

my wishes for this picture:

sharper turtle scales..a tapestry-like background..and some kind of scepter. he doesnt have to be grasping it, it could just be sort of floating near his hand.
Deino (Jan 1, 2006)
The colouring is great, I like the eye a lot.
SYTHE (Jan 4, 2006)
Your style is so amazing, love your work.

Another wonderful artwork. What I love most are the soft colors, yet it doesn't look washed out. If you have a chance (and you do :D ) take a look at Shanghai's gallery.

This is an old fox character of mine. I'm very interested in iconic styles of art.

There probably won't be many people interested in this next part, but just so you know I'll say it anyways. During character design and developement I kept slowly changing parts of her personality, name, apperance, etc., until she became my character Rin, probably my most used character in art/games. Since the end result of Rin is different enough from the original design I was able to remake Reiko as a seperate character on her own, and since she was the predecessor to Rin I just call Reiko her mom.

It would be nice if you drew her in a humanoid form, hehehe... sexy and revealing. Great colouring! <:D

Shanghai (May 25, 2005)
A few of my characters, mostly just reiko and rin actually, have humaniod forms and how they switch I was going to explain with another drawing at least a month ago but I got tired of the drawing and deleted it before ever taking its status out of being hidden. I'm going to make it again though at some point.
Kenshin (May 26, 2005)
That rocks :O The tails and the wings are my favorite part. Your painty cool style is neat-O XD

This is for 15grifficorntears for surprising me with the red panda draconip. I noticed her profile mentioned something about liking dragons and blue, so I thought I'd make this~ :3

you know, i had a dream once about a six-winged red dragon. This is really awesome, the colors give it a really ethereal feeling
SooRa (edited Feb 15, 2008)
wow, that's literally one of the nicest images I have seen in awhile when it comes to oekaki. The lines, the blending, and compostion are very smooth and well done. It flows nicely and has no hard edges. It has a dreamlike quality. ♪ I also really love how you made the color of the clouds relfective on the scales of the body. ♥

A water nymph after a light rain.

I named her with the help of this elven naming site. Means something like Rain-Spring, if I did it right. If not then that's her name and she's keeping it either way.
