Just finished up the third in my series of four everquest fae/arasai character, so I figured I'd use that as an excuse to do an art dump of the stuff from the last year that I'm most proud of. ACtually...2007-2008 were such slow years for me, this might be
all the stuff I finished. *sad sigh*
Jungle FireThe picture I drew for our credit cards and personal business cards.
And a bit of character detail. I started it pretty small, since it would be so scaled down...but I couldn't resist eventually upscaling to give the chars some detail.
EverQuest and EverQuest IIMaegh, aka "Cucumber", is my warden/tailor and my favorite character. She's a bad girl and a free spirit. Hard to say whether she's truly evil or not, but she's definitely good at being a nuisance, trickster, and all-around PITA.
My poor broken-in-the-brain, truly-evil-and-messed-up arasai evil!monk (she's a bruiser, but her personality is more martial artist than pugilist). Sriur is ascetic/focused/tranquil/etc...but that doesn't stop her from killing just about everything in her path. She's a few berries short of a bushel.
Kettu is my fae fury/sage, who I liken to a daniel jackson/indiana jones type. Butt-kicking-for-curiosity-in-ancient-cultures sort of thing. Oddly enough, while she's technically good to Maegh's evil (maegh is the green-haired arasai warden), she's not as friendly as Maegh. She's sort of a 6.5 on the scale of good vs evil (where 5 is a neutral) while Maegh is a 4 who is capable of acts that rank up around 9. This is because Maegh is capable of friendship, and because Maegh gets bored, whereas my fury is a loner who would hate to be distracted from her research long enough to help someone else.
This was a gift for a fellow artist that I've known for several years. Like me, she had a red-haired, half-elven ranger in EverQuest. But where my character was a very low-fantasy sort of persona...scrappy and dirty and grouchy around the edges...Brierlea was a princess. In purple. There was always something deliciously high-fantasy-and-fairy-tale about Brierlea. So I made a point to make her as gloriously, improbably shiny and colorful as I could. Because she's a princess, darnit. She doesn't need to blend into the forest, that's what magic is for!
