Kala’s Unpleasant Surprise
Playing with expression transitions. Wanna guess what’s happening? XD (I’ll just tell you, but I always love to hear your interpretations).

Spark’s Happy Place
Diggin’ around in some old files. Lookee what I found. I believe this was from a very short-lived RP when Spark took Vahaadi to a remote cave.
Took: Getting on in Years
The pics I drew of him balding at 30 were just do gross to share. DX I feel like these barely look like him and yet, they do…let’s just say he’s killing the old villainous dude look. In his 40s his hair would still have color. But by the time he reaches the age in the pic on the right (60s?) it would be all washed out. Fortunately, I think in his 30s his acne finally chills out. Then he has to start dealing with facial hair. XD WHICH HE IMMENSELY PREFERS. Finally, he’ll have the villainous beard he’s always wanted.
Spark sees Piper for the first time + Older Krissy musings
So here are my doodles of some less than common expressions for Spark, but having Piper suddenly control her mind would seriously catch her off guard. As soon as she snaps out of his grasp I imagine she has these fleeting thoughts. Spark isn’t often scared– it takes a LOT to actually rattle her; for this reason most of Vahaadi’s early threats are jokes in her mind. But Piper would have power unlike anything Spark would have thought possible, which would honestly terrify her. She also is upset on a more superficial level, but still crucial: it isn’t supposed to work this way. The hero is supposed to catch the villain by surprise, throw a wrench in his plans, and lock him up in time to save the day. The fact that this guy just came out of NOWHERE and sees her as no obstacle, no threat to his plans, but merely a tool to be used, a plaything to turn on its head makes her FURIOUS.
Then I’m not sure why but I felt like I needed to draw older Krissy musing about Vahaadi after she’s wished her last wish.
Lastly, though the picture is horrendous, here’s a good example of what Spark’s mask should look like on her face.
Illustrated Quote 2.0
Another quote that just had to be Sparkified, although in this case it’s Krissy. I don’t know to what Kyle is objecting that is so ‘weird’ but I don’t think it really matters. ((And I don’t know what happened but I forgot to finish the line on her arm XP I’m too lazy to fix it and upload another pic, so imagine her arm finishes and that it’s not growing out of Kyle’s sleeve.))
Vintah’s Story and Lonja Dump
I THINK it’s safe to say Cheuk and I will never play D&D again, or at least not for a loooooooooooooong time, so Vintah’s existence is kinda moot, but now that we’re letting the Captured RP turn into it’s own headcanon universe I figured I may as well include her in it. I like her and I think her presence makes it more believable that Lonja never ran away in the whole of her 25 years she lived with Loucef. Anyway, here’s that and also I tried to collect all the images of Lonja as I could find just for my own personal reference since they’re scattered all over my blog, DA, Gaia threads, PMs and emails @_@. I also drew a few new pictures of her too! ^__^
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“I am better than you!” Those are the words that rang in Vintah’s pointed ears, the most obviously elven part of her anatomy. Being half human her linage was ambiguous until she tucked her shiny black brown waves behind her ears. The young woman forced herself to concentrate, her eyes never leaving the prize she sought: a purse filled to the brim with coins hanging just beyond her reach out of the sack of the traveler making his way down the path that edged the forest in which she had been hiding.
Study Sessions
I realized I hadn’t posted this on the site, so now I can finally take it off DA since we have a better place to post large images!
Krissy Portrait
I was inspired by artists Loish (http://blog.loish.net/) and Kellee Riley (http://www.kelleeriley.com/) so I thought I’d take a stab at doing something based on their styles and force myself to do a straight on picture at the same time. Not bad considering this was drawn in the car!
Tulio Took (Tookio? Tokyo? Rio, France, Meet Me in Mexico?)
Traced some Tulio faces, then modified them to get Took! Took differs from Tulio in his more angular jaw line, ridiculous (RIDICULOUS) hairstyle, bigger/taller ears, bags under the eyes, weird forked eyebrows, and upturned nose, so I worked those in to see what I’d get. Even though all those traits sound ugly/weird, all together on the “Tulio” base they actually look cute and funny! I learned a lot from doing this! I’m not sure yet if it’s quite perfect since it’s not truly my style, but it’s fun to look at. I need to do these more often. I particularly like the shape of the eyes–they’re way more expressive that the eyes I usually draw.
