Lin Kohaku

Alright, so here's my second post today. This is Lin Kohaku. Her name is taken from the fish shes based off which is the koi variety called kohaku. Then I remembered that Haku's real name, in Spirited Away, is something something Kohaku, so I had to pick her first name from that movie, and rather than Chihiro, I picked Lin, because I like her personality better for my mermaid lady here. She was drawn in graphite, watercolored and then inked. Shes a cutie no?

New Stuff!

Hello everyone, Well I've finally graduated and settled into my new graphic design position over in Irving, now I just have to pray that when the internship is over they keep me! Anyway, I've managed to make some new stuff for a couple of online campaigns I'm in. Here are a couple of images of the ideas I had for my mermaid person for our One Piece campaign. The girl to the left is the first idea I had of based on a lion fish, the next post to follow is off of a koi (specifically the Kohaku variety) and the third post today is based off a spotted eagle ray... I could have used angelfish in my last post but I wanted something new. Let me know what you think!

So here's one from before Adia and her Daughter, where I was still using Painter. But I like the cleaner gradations and colors in Photoshop better, and here I was still tracing over all my scanned graphite lines so it took forever.

So here's where I'm messing around with digitally coloring images that I've drawn. I think it looks pretty good with at least three colors of shading. Yup, but for not taking me too long I'm happy.

These two are based on characters from a DnD game a friend of mine ran for us. Adia is a dervish/bard character who was just a little promiscuous. Hence her daughter showing up at the end of the campaign.

So Im Back

So my other web site was taken down after I didn't give Apple more money to keep it up.
I'll be making a new site after I have enough money to pay to keep it online. Look forward to
it! In the mean time just hang out.

Thanks for understanding...
