A Princess, an Angel, and a Demon…

Just a few things that are keeping me busy at the moment.

The one on the left is Kara from Phantasy Star III drawn in my style, specifically A.illusions style. I’m already inking her since Amy’s approved her already. I’m probably going to do some minor changes with the skirt and add a bit of background to the final piece. I really like how her dress came out… I just hope I can color this with just the right hues!

The ones on the right are Kilo’s original characters, Kazimier and Regalus; a demon comforting an angel who is of royal blood. I have to admit, the concept is unique, and the pose was challenging because Kazimier is supposed to be comforting Regalus while smirking at the sight of war outside the window (which I will draw later on). What I ended up with made me think it’s Sebastian Michaelis carrying a much younger Hiiragi Keiichi. Go figure… This is Kilo’s second commission from me, so I’m hoping this will get approved without much of a hitch.

Back to work for this starving artist… but who’s complaining? At least I have a bit of money for Christmas. ^_^

Never Let Me Fall

Just when I started to work on my webcomic, I get word from Richard that there might be a Comic Bazaar on December 4 by the same organizers of Komikon. Bitter sweet news, as I should have enough time to put together A.illusions: Karma; however, I will have to put A.illusions: Act Two: Fourth Stage on hold yet again.

C'est la vie~ For now, please accept this humble cover art from yours truly:

I have to admit, I didn't think making this underwater effect would be so easy. Alex’s tutorial is precise and easy to follow, although I modified his process a bit to better fit the illustration’s needs.

Let’s hope I can have enough free time to finalize the site and add new pages. Until then~!

I am aware that Josh Groban has a song "Never Let Go". Where do you suppose the inspiration for this piece came from? ♥

Happy Birthday, Nephew~ ;p You know who you are!

A Father’s Love

When =Kilo112205 had a contest involving her commissioning another artist to draw my character with hers, you could say I totally jumped the bandwagon.

Lo and behold, I won second place, and this is what I received:

Please click the thumbnail to view the whole image!

I suggested that Alaistair, who is Kilo’s character, be a father figure to Rei, who is also an angel of sorts. Both of them have pet phoenixes, and Rei is a girl who doesn’t really have a father in A.illusions.

You can imagine how overjoyed Rei is to have a Dominion Angel teach her proper archery.

Thank you so much to =Kilo112205 for her lovely contest and the artist, ~basotahuikan for such gorgeous work!

In other news, the Manga and Gifts sections are complete! Please let me know what you think of the new site’s navigations and I will do my best to keep improving them! Now to work on some actual webcomic updates after some sleep~
