More Phantasy Star IV

Thunder concept art from a month ago.

A sketch of a possible design for the Crown Princess for my current project, George.

Here’s my version of Mark / the Tactician from FE7.

I know that the devs were just having fun and that there’s no way Morgan from Awakening being Mark from FE7 is ever going to be canon, but it IS a fun idea to just play around with 😁

(Please notice my Easter Eggs.)

With Vizzini I was trying to combine the feeling of baby angels from old renaissance paintings, sinister-ish expressions, and ringmaster, plus dash of gaudiness. I made Vizzini prominently red so that there would be a transfer of association from Vizzini in the first half to Humperdinck in the latter half. The colour red and the pawns on his design apart from being on theme for his character can also serve as foreshadowing, that he is not the overarching antagonist.

Sometimes due to Fezzik’s backstory of working in Greenland, people mistake him for being Greenlandic but it was clearly stated that Fezzik is a Turkish wrestler. It was important that his design made it very clear that he was not European. In the books, he is described as hairy, large, and gorilla-like in appearance. By dividing his head into three sections (upper head, cheeks, and mouth-chin) keeping the graphic shape of his head across different angles was made easier. To determine the direction of Fezzik’s overall design the emphasis was established (his arms), inspiration was taken from circus strongmen, then combined with a strong but soft and lovable feeling.

The general direction of Inigo’s features was clear early on, but his head shape did undergo many iterations. His final head shape design has a clear and readable graphic iconography even in different angles. Its iconic integrity is easily maintained but can be difficult to draw, because of that a diagram was made to show how the structure of his head.

It was important to make sure Inigo and the man in black's silhouettes were distinguishable from one another. So I tried to pull their designs in opposite directions. Inigo's leaning towards a more slender swish-flick feel and the man in black's to a larger, billowy, and intimidating direction.

This is a study I made while I was on my flight to the US. It was the longest day ever mostly because I'm pretty sure my April 19, 2014 lasted for more than 24 hours. 

Lately I've been practicing drawing from life. Before, I was a little scared because i didn't like making mistakes, but I realized that it's okay to ale mistakes because later on I'll be able to correct them. And as I drew from life, it has been excellent practice.

I wanted to draw the guy beside me across the aisle (because he had a nice blazer on and very very nice brogues) but unfortunately he kept noticing me looking at him so I couldn't draw him... The other people I drew didn't notice (when you see the drawings I guess you can tell why).

My favorite drawing here is definitely the mom and her daughter (mother and child jk). It was very very cute and it was great seeing that.  The man in the middle left (no, not the one who is sleeping funnily) seemed to be quite nostalgic and a lot of people get sentimental or think while on modes of transportation for a long time. The man on the lower right, I'm guessing is purser of the plane, he seemed to be quite happy with how the people were doing when one of the meals were served.  

I rarely get to go on vacation or travel, but I love it. Seeing all sorts of different people, and thinking of the many things that they have gone through or the kind of people they are. People are interesting.

Azula in Robes

I’m sure we can all agree that she was totally crazy psycho, but that she was also crazy hot.
