Record.3 (2381)


Record.2 (2362)


Record.1 (2310)

And now for something completely different.
Explanation: Depending on what difficulty you play it, Halo: Reach's campaign has 19 secret datapads scattered through the levels. Each one contains a piece of a larger story. All text is presented verbatim from those datapads.
Further Explanation: this project is essentially a product of me dicking around in MSD4 with the different brushes. I really wish it could do more than the most basic things with color, though...

Learning Japanese

It's true.

Samus 2

FUCK YOU, Nintendo character designers. my Samus isn't a cheerleader.

Samus 1

A couple weeks ago, I had an idea for a story set in the Metroid universe... I thought I should at least try drawing Samus & her gunship first. At present, I dunno if I'll actually do anything with that story, but I will probably do more Metroid art in the future. I mean, I'm surprised I haven't done any before.
Also, the Varia Suit is freaking hard to draw properly. >_<

US Brainstorming: Tau Ceti Stargate

More bizarrchitecture!
Also a call-back to an earlier brainstorming page.

US Brainstorming: Ships


Weird cropping is weird! Weird scanner is weird!
(Weird ship designs are also weird!)

A Toast to the Good Guys

Fuck it! I'm uploading everything. As a friend of mine pointed out, it's nice to have a backlog of drawings (so as to always be able to upload something every day), but the point of having an art blog is to draw something every day. And I have quite a project planned for the near future. So here we go! :)

Old Stuff: Gadget Anthropomorphizations

Blimey, now THIS is old. Behold, my (very Chobits-inspired) anthropomorphizations of my various devices, and their very, very punny names.

Old Stuff: US Characters 2

More of Kay and Kaleem, plus a new fellow. Varis--an Atarian--is a semi-relevant character. Like most of my alien ideas, he's changed a lot, so this is only the most recent version--what do you think? Does it look silly? The jury's still out on this one.
P.S. I realize that I'm putting up art about Under Stars without any explanation about the story, so I'm going to make another blog post soon explaining it all.

Old Stuff: US Brainstorming




 When it comes to random sketches, there's nothing I love more than world-building--fleshing out the universe of a story in ways that may or may not be relevant later. The story in question here is "Under Stars" (you know, my scifi story that I've been trying to continue for ages). Expect much more of this stuff in the future.
I put this one up mainly for the stargate designs at the bottom. Also, the scan appears to have cropped out the important part of the top sketch-- above those buildings, there's a hole in the sky with the caption "a hole in the manifold". More on that later.

Old Stuff: Arentu

Old sketch of my avatar in EVE Online. This was done entirely from memory, so it's only semi-accurate.

Old Stuff: Agent Orange

Because he's orange! Get it? Get it? No?
God damn, a politics/Code Geass joke. My mind is weird.
"Memorize THIS! Memorize John Boehner! Commit it to memory, for that is the memorable name of the man who has defeated you!"
Just Google Image Search 'John Boehner' if you're curious.
