Intro shpeal thingy

Started this blog so that I could have a place to post artwork that I don't want to submit to DeviantArt for various reasons. Mostly sketches and wips since most of my finished pieces go to DA, but occasionally I'll put one up here. I also did this so that I could have a chance to record some thoughts I had while working on a piece since I always seem to forget them when I go to post. ^^;

I'll stick these up first, since they're actually pretty old. I finished the background image pretty quickly since I already had a general idea before I started, but that logo took months to figure out. The bottom image show a progression of the different shapes I went through after I had the text. I had trouble trying to get the logo to match the theme of the story since it's a mix of fantasy and technological. I didn't want it to look like some magical fairy candy land thing either. Haha ^^;
The character is the same one as in the current header of this blog. His name is Fathanel and he's a 12 year old kid who's missing his left eye and has the elemental ability of 'soft metal'. He's my original character for a story that is currently only in my head called Ether.

Here's the image I used for the header the lineart is a little older, and half of the coloring. I touched it up pretty recently. :D

These are the two comparison images, with the dates on them, of the old colors and the new one. Changed the shading on the hair completely and added another layer of shading on the rest of the colors. Also textured the background.

This is his daddy, even though he looks pretty young. ^_^ His name is Lumiel and he's a 'scientist/mathematician'.

That's all for now. ^_^
