Mintaka

2011-08-27T11:46:00.001-07:00

Character design of Mintaka, a character for animated items and the revamped Cash Shop on Gaia. She is one of the stars in Orion's constellations. We liked the name Bellatrix more, but sadly, Harry Potter has dibs on that for the next few decades.

Mintaka earlier in the process. Though I love drawing with a pencil and pen, I've found it faster to work digitally only.

She was introduced as a mystery character, hence the hood. I forgot if this one was finished and used.

One of her expressions used in the Cash Shop. It's fun to do expressions, they make the character feel more alive.

I couldn't resist painting over Reapersun's awesome halloween costume art into something grosser and more accurate hahaha

comment if you get the reference~

Hi There!

2010-10-17T14:47:00.000-07:00

I get to post here now. 8D So exciting!

For those who don't know me yet - hello! I work on a lot of CI illustrations and items, but I've been doing so remotely. I was recently hired at Gaia HQ and I'm so flattered and excited to join this extremely talented team. ^__^

I usually post the artwork I do on my journal, so this might be a bit redundant. But I do have this full picture of the Ringmaster that I've never posted anywhere, so perhaps this is a good place to put it.

Some of you guys have pointed out that only his head is visible, but in fact without facepaint I don't think even his face is visible! That would be kind of freaky too though, don't you think? Just eyes and his cheshire-like grin. It's kind of funny for me to imagine him putting on makeup.

There was also a period where I was having trouble deciding what colors I should make him, and I went through these possibilities.

I was extremely attracted to the vintage-y feel that I got with the yellow-tinted whites in the gold version, but the pink touches added a lot of whimsy that I liked too. After some feedback from the rest of the artists though, I obviously settled on the gold version. His item set would be more versatile that way too! Win/Win, right?

Concepts work

2010-10-07T17:50:00.000-07:00

The bunnies are a modification of superphi's cute rabbit that never got used.

Crossbon did the pixeling for the final items, Pepper-tea did the promo arts, and Reapersun did the concept of the color variations on the cats, and also she drew the rest of the dogs.

And the Collie was based from my dog T w T She was truly wonderful... (but drooled too much)

R.I.P. Chelsy...

Thank You.

I didn't draw this!!

2010-06-29T02:01:00.001-07:00

But I dunno where else to post it!!

So a few weeks ago at Fanime one of the guests was Mamoru Yokota; he was the animation director of Death Note among other awesomeness. A pretty versatile guy, and super nice!

I didn't go see him at his panel but as I was hanging around my artist table, I heard from Derlaine and Ethe that he had set up at a table in the back and was selling prints! I was like lolkaydowant and went over to check it out... And he was doing sketch commissions!?!!?! I hung around and watched for awhile with Ethe and then we got ballsy and decided to ask for something! Ethe totally bailed like a wussface but I got to see him draw BRENNIIIIII about fifteen minutes before they closed :OOOOOOO

He didn't speak English and I wasn't able to ask his translator if it's okay to post these, but I think it's alright since I'm posting them pretty low res. If you're ever at Gaia HQ for any reason (escorted by staff hopefully @-@) peek into my cube to see the full glorious versions on my wall!!

He made him so classic bishouuuuuunen and handsome <3 Since it was on a whim, the only ref I had on hand was the print from the Gaia artist cards, with an alternate outfit.

He even did a practice sketch before he started which looks awesome @w@ I had one of the other prints I bought behind it when I took this photo lol. I also wrote out the words for his neck tat on it when he asked what it said but I dunno if it was helpful D:

It was crazy amazing watching him draw these; his work was so confident and precise! I've doodled in ink before and I'm always like lolblah :P

Thank you Yokota-san!!

I totally forgot about this

2010-05-14T00:42:00.000-07:00

I doodled this around Christmas when we were laying out the current storyline, but then Jenzee pointed out it was kind of spoiler at the time so I set it aside for later
Noticed it in the corner of my desktop just now
Was like, oh hai u, ur not spoiler anymore
I need to go to bed

Perfect Tragedy Artzzz

2010-04-21T16:15:00.000-07:00

Some of my stuffs from Perfect Tragedy @o@

William, along with ganked Shakespeare reference.

Butterfly; every part of her design was borrowed from PRlSM and Milkbun's awesome items; I don't think I did them justice ;_;

Scene 2~

Scene 6~I hate fire

Encore/victory scene; I cheated so hard on the background. The crappy roses are blurred more in the final too.

P.S. The design for the "manly" collar of power falls squarely on ethe, so you guys just do not even start >:O

Perfect Tragedy

2010-04-20T17:51:00.000-07:00

Hope you guys enjoy the progress shots!

Here are some paintovers I did of Reapersun's William design when we were concepting his in-story look. (Reapersun wrote the notes) Reapersun says she likes the business suitey one because it looks "Lelouchy" lol. Thought you guys would enjoy that Code Geass shoutout :p

some doodles of the Bogeyman, who I still enjoy drawing from time to time. (I guess because he's so simple. He'd be fun to fully animate one day.)

2010-02-24T17:28:00.000-08:00

I probably should have compiled the pictures better, but I'm too lazy... so here's one long dump

all the stages compiled with frame work from pepper-tea and chibi monsters by reapersun:

Individual monsters illustrations:

I thought it will be cool to show you all the scale and ration of each characters =p

The concept design for Aquarium Cathulu, the fish is made by CrazysporkIam and KirbyUFO, they are so awesome!! @_@b

Compass of Seidh evo 1 concept:

special credits: for reapersun, juno, and pepper-tea for Cathulu, they asked me to make a cat + octopus legs, and from there Cathulu was born. C:

I don't know about reapersun, but I think Enki would dream of having legs if he saw figure skating <3

Prince Enki's Magic Scroll Adventure

2010-02-19T22:46:00.000-08:00

Sketch for Prince Enki; I used this pretty fish for reference for the tail shape and color patterns. Below I tried to draw a cute version and he came out kinda dumb looking...

Here's the comic without text, for your five dollar footlong enjoyment.

The fails for the monstarss; Ethe did the actual cool looking art and designs.Finallyyyy, I had fun rendering these mermaids for my Love Song item. I had intended to release that last month but couldn't make the deadline; by coincidence, the theme this month also suited it, so I finished it up.

This poem contains my favorite written lines @3@ But I won't tell you what they are >_@

Love Charm: Kaede

2010-02-02T19:01:00.000-08:00

Hey sup doods. Here the art I did for the Love Charm.

I drew the ghost girl "Kaede." She was a lot of fun to draw- I guess that is why I drew her whole body even though it was totally unnecessary haha.

Emotion states:

Win screen:

Here is a bonus pic I drew in pchat yesterday, I tried to imitate a specific style, if you can guess from what, then I will be happy to know that I succeeded just enough lol. T^T;

Wahaha, postin on Ethe's head :P
My RIG art; special thanks to Fayren, Saka, Ethe, o_8 and Gem2niki for the other awesome characters!

Cirooo; I cropped his butt out so his expression would be more visible at the small size.
Roman you hipster, so gheyyy. Btw the scenes, all had lighting effects over them, so his hair really is black.
I added his tattoo D:
I spent so much time on this one but she still looks like a man D: And creepy at the larger size... IMO

Yeyyyy C: Ciro was done a little rushed after I did the other three, which is why he's in a slightly different style.

Liam and Sam

2009-12-05T21:22:00.000-08:00

Super old sketch from 2008. If you want to blame someone for this pairing. Blame me. That's right. I pushed for it bwahahaa...and I'm damn proud of it! There's something totally lacking with Liam's character that I felt he needs someone compatible in term of someone who can relate to him and act normal around. They both are mechanics..so imagine what their date would be like-building stuff together haha... And also he overlooks her beauty and just sees her for what she is as a person (rather than some hot chick). I wanted to develop them during the Olympic Summer event..but lack of timing, couldn't do it.

BLOG LAG TIEM

zOMG dump

2009-11-16T20:21:00.000-08:00

Here's some more stuff from zOMG, mostly concepts for the monsters, and some stuff that was never used.

Monster concepts:

Here are some zOMG related illustrations:

The actual version on the Airshark itself is a bit different ( I like the one on the Airshark better I think XD )

Some of the loading screen art:

If I remeber right, this art was for some sort of ad banner...

Here is a wallpaper of two unused NPCs - Reapersun made a wallpaper with these same characters as well:

Here is another unused NPC- she's actually in the game's opening XD;

Oh, and I forgot to plug this last time, but some werewolf items that are unused at the moment or not made at all:

Halloween 09 Storybook Epilogue

2009-11-12T17:45:00.000-08:00

Here's my part of the storybook.... I did the bg with the border in mind so its sloppy underneath it.

Halloween wrap up!

2009-11-11T16:56:00.000-08:00

Buncha stuff from Halloweeeen; omg I can work on Case now!! ...for about a week ;_; Let's see how much I can finish :O
Young Sentinel and Overseer...

The original sketches for Sentinel and Overseer; Jenzee did the final more awesome versions and color palettes...
The layouts for the whole storybook! This is the old text; I edited it a bit as we went along.
The artists were:
Cover (book): Jenzee
Page 1: Ethe
Page 2: Derlaine
Page 3: Pepper-tea
Page 4: o_8
Page 5: meee
Page 6: Jenzee
Epilogue:
Page 1: Gem2niki
Page 2 top half: Juno
Page 2 bottom half: me again
Page 3: Jenzee
I liked the diversity of the storybook; it was a fun collab project :D

And finallllyyyyyyyywtf

I pitched this to Jenzee as our Christmas event! Bishies everywhere! And then Jen slapped me in the mouth and I blacked out... and when I woke up all the lights were out and everyone had gone home... Hnn.

zOMG halloween stuff: werewolves and night frights

2009-11-09T20:45:00.000-08:00

Ok here's some more stuff from the zomg! Halloween event- I didn't animate the werewolves, so I can't post those animations, but I did concept them, so I'll post the sketch of that~

Hehe, here's a Buster Wolf XD;

some of the concepts for the pup:

Here's some of the Night Fright stuff:

And here are some of the animations:

This is the concept for the Jackies item:

Hi guys @A@; zOMG halloween stuff: vampires

2009-11-02T19:26:00.000-08:00

This is my first post here, so forgive me if I end up breaking some blog etiquette ( like posting too many images at the same time haha...)
Most of my art is for zOMG! and since the game just had its year anniversary as well as its own Halloween event (which is still going on), I figure now would be a good time
to do some sort of zoomj dump here.

I'll start with the recent Halloween stuff, since a couple of people have asked about it-

The vampires:

Here are their animations in motion (hope this video stuff works @_@) :

Vampiress animations:

Vampire animations:

Ok, so that is probably a lot for one post for now. I'll put up the rest of the stuff soon. m(_)m

we are so busy *____* ...............

Azrael Process

2009-10-21T10:35:00.001-07:00

Initially, we didn't know what NPC was going to be used for the October RIG. We knew it was going to be something devilish, so I doodled a little:

Super girly

Lol Zack ?

Then reapersun/jenzee decided to use the cash shop items as a base for the NPC. Jenzee made these sweetass items:

Some initial sketches. The items weren't done at this point so I made up details as I went along.

Final Sketch, Photoshop

Many hours later. Jenzee also suggested adding the bloody wing (which is also an item that was added later?)

the cake is not a lie..

2009-10-20T01:42:00.000-07:00

you just have to be lucky.. T ^ T

Human Radiojack

2009-10-12T20:11:00.001-07:00

Just doodling. Perhaps one of Brennivin's spells?

banner arts

2009-10-07T14:53:00.001-07:00

summer event - summer solstice - easter 2009

I regularly saved a bunch of avatars from GCD from time to time, and I used them for testing while making items and also for banners like these. So if you see some avatar that looks like your avatar, then it probably is you. :D

Dernier Cri

2009-10-06T11:23:00.000-07:00

The non-crack stuff I drew

It's not how big it is, it's how you use it

2009-10-02T16:16:00.001-07:00

Almost forgot about this bonus pic. Brennivin is describing uhm..."Viking swords". Kanoko has to hold her skirt down. Radio Jack is unimpressed.

The original pic is in the announcement http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/community-announcements/dernier-cri-j/t.54801951/

Brennivin

2009-10-01T18:14:00.001-07:00

Some doo doo doodles I did to get used to drawing Brennivin. I think I drew his butt wrong in the top pic, reapersun plz show me the way.

Drenier Cri Store Exterior + npc

2009-10-01T16:08:00.000-07:00

I just started working for Gaia again today <3 these art assets were done before Dark Reflection RIG went out.

Kanokorella

2009-10-01T14:16:00.000-07:00

Something silly I doodled while warming up for the Dernier Cris illustration. I hope reapersun won't kill me haha.

Once upon a time there was a perpetually jobless girl named Kanoko

"Oh if only I wasn't jobless, I would have enough gold to go to Cresento's Ball!"

Brennivin the fairy godmother was moved by her unemployment and decided to grant her wish

Radiojack got turned into a horse to pull the carriage

If it doesn't make sense, read the comics : Part 1 Part 2

Hidden VILLAGE!!!!

2009-09-29T02:07:00.001-07:00

FOR REALZ! jk jk. A non logged in page for Gaia :d. There are a couple of us who really want to world-inize all of Gaia so that Gaians have a clear feeling of location and the "world" they reside in. We'll see what happens O_O!!!! Where is this located? I don't know :O. Maybe Bass'ken? Maybe not? That's not Fremere though ;).

zOMG Hoodie Concepts

2009-09-23T17:21:00.000-07:00

How about a break from RIG art? :P

Kokeshi kimono

Gnome Legion

Near the release of zOMG I got a chance to design some RL merchandise for Gaia Store. Unfortunately, I went a bit overboard on the hoodie designs and they were never used.

Some unlucky person had to open up my huuuuuge vector files and make something infinitely more feasible out of them, resulting in the merchandise currently available.

LeXBlogwat

2009-09-22T22:14:00.000-07:00

*attaches jumper cables to the blog's nipples*

LeXBox was born out of a horrible moment of pun followed by hours of regret and embarrassed silence... And then we made a RIG about it. Above is my original sketch of Coma!Lex; Nightmare Jester (on Gaia) is responsible for the awesome artwork in the banners :D

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go clean my room and then sleep like a dead fish for many many hours.

Mirror from Dark Reflection

2009-09-09T19:06:00.000-07:00

My sketch for the Mirror from Dark Reflection. I designed it in vector, but decided that the final would look nicer painted...

So I handed it off to Ethe and she imbued it with awesome.

I need to learn how to draw man's hands. All I have for reference are my little chubby femmy girl hands. Feh.

Also here's a whole bunch of figure sketches I did to try and decide what pose to do, because it was Friday afternoon and I was panicking. This brilliant process is why I don't generally show my presketchings and why I end up with shit like feet coming out of people's crotches.

Thanks to Ethe for the tips and textures!

Mid-Summer Swirl mini comic

Reapersun helped me with the dialog

here's the rough stage:

Summer Event backdrop!

2009-08-13T16:46:00.001-07:00

This isn't as cool as Ethe's header T_T. There was some miscommunication about dimensions, so the one you see in the actual event ended up being even less cool XD. SORRY T_T.

Venus world (no mermans, not interesting?)

2009-08-06T14:59:00.000-07:00

This was fun to paint, I was given the chance to blatantly overuse the color Turquoise ( actually, I personally believe there is no such thing), so here's the result! I'm happy it's earned (for the most part) approval from our users as I remember the Prom Heaven room I made awhile back was not met with such positivity XD. The backdrop for Reaper's lovely mermangz, minus the logo :).

Merpeoples!

Since the Venus world went over so well, I figured I'd post the raw sprites for everyone's enjoyment; these are the older versions before Jen added water effects and shirtssss (because a shirtless waiter dripping his pec sweat into your margarita isn't terribly appealing... well, to most people)

Also those are totally totally random block men and not ohsocleverly disguised censor blocks. There is nothing interesting back there. Honest.

Case of Pietro :O

My illu for my new EI(s):

I worked all week trying to refine a different composition for this illustration, and then yesterday on the train to work I doodled this one D:
I was working on it until 4:15 today, so, sorry for the late EIR...

I was looking for an old sketch the other day and found this page in one of my sketchbooks:

This is my writing process DDD:
My favorites are the spots where I crossed out a word then wrote the SAME WORD next to it.

My First MC Sketches

2009-07-26T00:53:00.001-07:00

My first concept arts for Gaia MC September 2006......it's almost 3 years old... O_o

man...time passed by like crazy. I was still in Chicago and about to move to San Jose.
There was some bitter sweet memory... I kinda missed it.

Oops

Uploaded something to the wrong blog. Here, have a rough liam drawing I did a while back...

RIG and CS Update Bomb

2009-07-21T23:34:00.000-07:00

Bunch of the art from the new RIG and my elf guy from the Fantasy Update...

I realized I forgot to fix his humongoid hand...

Cygnus looks like a dark elf D: Oh and old HE changed a lot in the final, from a brown dwarf star to a more faded look.

Smok the Baby Dragon

2009-07-14T16:18:00.001-07:00

I wished smok-sit-on-your-head is possible, but the avatar space is too narrow T_T buhuu
Thx to reapersun, pepper-tea, and jenzee for the name suggestion! >:D

Orphan Event

2009-07-14T15:15:00.000-07:00

Here's some art and concept sketches for orphan event in xmas 2007. It was fun designing them XD

Tha Rivals! My favorite unused NPCs ;_;

2009-07-12T00:54:00.000-07:00

Well, sort of used? They currently appear on the clans page:

The white haired guy was my concept, and the armor guy is 0_8's. I really liked some of the concepts for quests that came up with these two, but I haven't been working on Zomg for a long time now, so I'm not sure if there are still any plans to use them. I even made a wallpaper that was never released:

Sweet Shot's unofficial official name is Julian :O

Rejected Registration System

2009-07-11T22:36:00.000-07:00

One of my early project in Gaia~~ I was told to make some background arts.
The first 4 panels were totally being rejected, since they didn't represent any of Gaia towns (I just made them up.. orz)

then I made these layouts with Barton Town buildings, but they also didn't get trough... orz, since it felt too childlike with those pastel and bright colors, but they still used the buildings asset with different layouts and desaturated the colors (i think they used it for comic bg too sometimes)

I still have more of these buildings 4-views drawing. Might post it sometimes later~

Old Monthly Collectible Concepts

2009-07-11T22:13:00.000-07:00

These are Monthly Collectible concepts from 2-3 years ago. I don't remember what the item theme was or why these weren't used. I found the jpg sitting around so I might as well post it here.

This is the 3rd post!! Wheee Pic Related

Second poost.....

2009-07-09T13:30:00.000-07:00

Getting this STARTED YO!!!! Here's an early sketch of Blaze that I'm not sure has seen the light of day. Her design was a crazy mishmash of a couple people just going off of whatever someone else had done at the time. Very disorderly, very unorganized. Ultimately it sort of worked out, though most of us on the art team would like to see more character development for her (and others) in the game ;).

Blaze! She has man-face sorta :(.
