Hi again. Sorry I haven't done anything these past couple months--school starting again knocked me out of my groove. :/ But I'll try to post regularly.

Anyway... This is Echidna from Fire Emblem 6: The Sword of Seals.

Ugh, how do people get their pictures to be so smooth? I swear the watercolor tool mocks me sometimes. :(
But I've learned a great deal from this. Next time will be much better.

He(She/It?)'s reading the Akashic Record. :O OK... Maybe not.

Oh lookie, there's the guy with the hat again. Still open to names for... the both of them, actually. >.> If you feel bothered enough to.

I have a biology project due next Tuesday, thus I burn off stress... Or rather, create more stress? I'm terrible, and thus I show my displeasure through my OCs.

This is Relám, a weather-influencing/controlling assault android, and has control over lightning and electricity. Several plasma generators are built in within his body, and he specializes in close quarter combat. He also possesses a 'true' AI--he has an ego, can reason and think, and is not considered just a mere weapon or mechanical doll.

Relám is unusually hotheaded, and surprisingly not too bright. He is irrascible, moody and very violent, often letting emotions get the best of him. He is very possessive of and submissive to his older twin brother, Vien, and would go to any length to protect him, even die for or together with him if necessary.

As for the picture itself, this...took way too long, really. Then again this is also my first time using PaintBBS (tho I'll stick to Shipainter). Knock off an hour for dinner and cleaning the aquarium, knock off another hour because I couldn't decide how I wanted to color this. :/ Settled for the halftones, and it turned out OK... at least for a first try. Lines didn't turn out horribly as I expected (except the hair. I got lazy), so I'm getting better at that. What's important is that I got the concept down, which I'm going to refine.

Those are cables that are coming out of his back, by the way.
And his hair's like that 'cause he's electric. :O

Gah, I can't wait until I feel worthy enough to post on the Intermediate board... I want to work on a bigger canvas.
EDIT: Snipped out backstory, it's too big. I ramble too much.

Arado Balanga, from Super Robot Taisen Alpha 2 and 3, and Original Generation 2.

Ah, much better than the last one, don't you think? I'm getting there, though it still looks too messy for my tastes... (though that's mostly because I need to practice shading clothes).

Oh yeah. Happy holidays~

Arklight Blue, from Super Robot Taisen 64. I lied when I said I was going to do more monochrome, yes.
Uh... Knock off about 3 hours off the timer. Had to eat lunch and help my dad assemble some stuff, eheh.

This is my first lineless, and I'm going to learn how to do it if it's the last thing I do. I hate doing lineart--it takes up all my time getting it just right, plus my hand isn't steady at all. Even if I do some trimming the lines still look like crap.
Not ready to jump to the Intermediate board yet... Probably gonna do one more lineless and a monochrome before I jump. This is only the second oekaki I've done, but now I can see how freakishly addicting it is.

I decide to draw a guy with a hat and look how long it takes me...

Erm, does anyone want to name him? The shock of how long it took me to finish this has frazzled my brain for the moment. @_@ Going to stick with monochrome for a while...
