Title: Holding Hands
Pairing: Harry/Hermione
Series: Harry Potter
Notes: A funny story about this one--I was actually sketching this out in a group oekaki board; feeling rather bored, I invited one of my friends, precursoring the invitation with an obligatory "What pairings do you like?" as to avoid the almost obligatory 'R/Hr is canon' speech.

She told me she didn't really ship anything (but loved S/R), so I invited her in. I didn't even bother sending out a speech with the next invite; I thought maybe I was just overreacting, and that no one really cared what pairing I was sketching out anyway. Who cares what other people ship, so long as they're happy with it?

But I was wrong--almost immediately after she realized what I was sketching, she responded with a "Why aren't you drawing R/Hr? It needs to be R/Hr!"

Oh well.

At any rate, I had a lot of fun sketching out this image; I absolutely loved Harry's hair, and I tried to make it terribly messy, since so many people were complaining about Dan Rad's incredibly neat hairdo in OoTP. I actually liked him better than Hermione in the preliminary sketches, but I like her better in the final colored image.

So, without further ado, the undersketch and lineart done with oekaki, and the coloring done with Photoshop CS.

( Harry and Hermione. )

Title: Seraphina
Pairing: n/a
Series: D&D
Notes: Seraphina, my halfling bard/sorc character for a friend's D&D game. I haven't yet come up with a clear character design for her. All I know is that she has ruddish skin, long, dark hair, and blue eyes. One of these days, I'm going to have to work on a decent costume for the kid...

Title: Kiss
Pairing: Alex/Azuma x Female Protagonist
Series: Harvest Moon: Magical Melodies
Notes: I got the game today and I love it. It's much more complicated than Another Wonderful Life, but in a very good way. Alex/Azuma is my favorite male character thusfar, and he happens to be the character my protagonist is pursuing. I was bored and ended up doodling this really quick to practice using my wacom, which I'm still not entirely used to using. If anything, I've learned that I really need to work on drawing side views--and girls with ponytails/pigtails.

( Kiss. )

Title: The Many Faces of Miss Valentine
Pairing: n/a
Series: One Piece
Notes: Drawn for spookysqueek715 as a part of op_exchange.

( The Many Faces of Miss Valentine )

Title: Zayne Carrick
Series: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Pairing: n/a
Notes: I don't often pick up comic books, but when I saw Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, I knew I had to. The Old Republic era has always been my favorite in Star Wars history. But what really surprised me about the comic was the protagonist, Zayne Carrick, who was so easy to sympathize with.

In short, I loved him enough to draw him, and I really suck at drawing men. I plan on sending this one out to the author of the comic. I'm not sure if he'll like it, though.

Title: Frills
Series: One Piece
Pairing: n/a
Notes: Robin looks so OOC in this outfit.

Title: Rock On!
Series: One Piece
Pairing: n/a
Notes: Drawn for a Nami-player in a One Piece game. It doesn't look like Nami--probably because this is my first Nami drawing.

( Rock on! )


Title: Bookworm
Series: One Piece
Pairing: n/a
Notes: My first Chopper drawing. I think I was going for a Dickens look, but I really can't be sure. Or remember.

( Bookworm )


Title: Pierre Escargot
Series: One Piece
Pairing: n/a
Notes: This is Pierre Escargot, an NPC I created for a One Piece game I used to play in. Pierre removes his moustache from his nostrils and straightens them out to make razor-sharp swords. Think I'm crazy? Just look at the art.

( Pierre Escargot )

Title: Luke
Series: Star Wars
Pairing: n/a
Notes: Drew this ages ago. Request for Luke-player on a game I played in ages ago. I used to have a serious crush on Luke back when I was a little girl. After reading I, Jedi, I'm not so sure I like him as much anymore...

( Luke )


Title: Sabine
Series: Star Wars
Pairing: n/a
Notes: This is actually a character I played in a Star Wars D20 game by the name of Sabine. She was really, really fun to draw. And really fun to play, too.

Title: Lesbians

Pairing: Harry/Hermione
Notes: Drawn shortly after book six.

( Love )


Title: Kairi
Series: Kingdom Hearts
Pairing: n/a
Notes: A long time ago, I played Kairi in a Kingdom Hearts roleplaying game. I decided to draw up a "winter" outfit for her, and give her the weapon she used in the game--a boomerang. I really like this drawing, especially her hair.

( Kairi )
