Here's A Sketch Of Harvey When He Was A Mechanic.

Yuji.

He is my entry for this month’s CDChallenge with the theme Samurai. 

Based on the scenario given, (which was that the Samurai, was tasked with rescuing his/her daimyo’s love, the Geisha Sudo Magodo.) I wanted to make sure there was no possible way Sudo Magodo could fall in love with her rescuer on the way back to the palace (Didn’t want another Shrek situation). So I was trying to come up with possible ideas for that and figured that the best solution, due to the unlikelihood, would be a child. (Can’t speak for his best friend Fatu though, if he is of age.)

Yuji is a prodigy, and is the Kingdom’s last hope. He’s confident and has no doubts about his own skills, but due to his age is often overlooked. He takes advantage of this in battle but is often left out of certain activities (like drinking with his fellow Samurai) because of it. Despite being self-assured, and his fellow Samurai acknowledging his skill, and seeing him as an ally, he wants to be seen as an adult, instead of just the skilled child. He believes that by saving Sudo Magodo and therefore his Daimyo from committing Sepuku, he would finally be seen as man, and gain respect, instead of just acknowledgement.

I included some sketches of an alternate idea, that I explored just to make sure I didn’t get tunnel vision on a kid design, and therefore miss out on another possibly good design. So I figured, maybe the bonus illustration of the adult samurai could just be Yuji as an adult!

Demon Prince Kazuhiko ☄️ and Na-chan 🌠

The last two party members of the After School Demon Fighters Club.

Na-chan is Reiko’s best friend and Aki-chan’s third cousin. She has three older siblings and two younger ones. All of them, including her parents are geniuses. Natsuki, unlike the rest of her family is very outgoing and affectionate but just like the rest of her family, is extremely intelligent (although in her family they consider her the least intelligent due to her lacking a “focus”). Na-chan is very active in her extra-curricular activities often participating in school musicals and is the Public Relations Officer of the student council with her best friend Reiko, while also excelling in her academics and is at the top of her class, second only to the her hardworking best friend. Na-chan is very popular because she is genuinely nice and helpful to everyone. She loves stargazing and has a keen interest in astrophysics but also in music and dance. She is a DPS magic user and due to understanding of science (especially Astrophysics) she is naturally able to understand how her magic works better, amplified by her ability to connect with her feelings through the performing arts, she is by far the most powerful party member (After Reiko can no longer shield her from their After School Demon Fighting activities).

Kazuhiko is the final member and is one of the many children of the Demon King. His pink hair and vermillion eyes are natural while he has the ability to hide his horns at will. Reiko forges him a fake identity as her cousin. Because of his personality, everyone in school thinks he’s a gang member and is a part of the Yakuza, indadvertedly causing everyone to think that Reiko and her father have direct ties with the Yakuza, much to her exasperation. Kazuhiko wields dual swords but he always says that he wield a trident, because he considers his body as a weapon. He “keeps” his swords in his jacket and when he summons them, they disappear from the print of the jacket. He unashamedly loves it when Na-chan plays with his hair, and styles it in different ways. Kazuhiko also doesn’t understand why human men must wear pants.

My take on Eliwood, or as I like to call him— Mr. Handsome.

Happy Valentines Day! Here’s Cyrus and Stella.

Cyrus is the crown-prince of Cloud Kingdom.  Stella is an awesome sword fighting warrior that can kick-ass and rock a beautiful dress like a model.

This illustration of Stella was actually a rough draft drawn over a year ago to get a feel of the more traditionally feminine aspect of her design and her overall character. This is actually her first coloured draft (without Cyrus). The one found here was the second. This is her in a formal outfit for an event or a similar scenario. I just added Cyrus (and Stella’s right arm, which is hooked onto Cyrus’) recently because his design took some time for me to really figure it, and in fact he’s still undergoing many (mostly) minor edits so that I can really get him right.

The second illustration is a sketch I did on my notebook to help incorporate Cyrus into the already existing illustration of Stella. As you can see in the sketch, this version of Cyrus’ formal attire has a slight Indian influence to it while keeping a Mesopotamian and Assyrian touch.

Reiko.

Who says muscles and elegance in a woman were mutually exclusive?

It's always wonderful bumping into you.
