Leif Brosca

Sun, 09 Jan 2011 21:41:19 PST

Updated to included physiology and added the correct casteless tattoo.

Name meanings: Leif=descendant and Brosca=stranger. His name in a strange way takes pride in his reviled lineage. For as far as anyone else is concerned, he is the offspring of thieves, murderers, or simply a person of too little renown to gain a house or marry up. But that matters little in Dust town, where you do what you must to keep you and your kin alive.

Leif is sympathetic to the plights of others, but understands the larger picture. He doesn't waver from his task as a Grey Warden to destroy the darkspawn threat and ensure the survival of the world. His pragmatism, may seem cold to some but he learned long ago you do what you must to survive and he weighs the death of a few vs the world if he slows on his quest.

1) When he was born he was branded as casteless by his "betters", as an adult he mirrored the tattoo on his other cheek and made it his own to flout in the face of those who revile him. He may be casteless, but he is proud.

Yeah, I was actually gonna watercolor this or something but it was on thin paper so I decided against that. Instead, I just tried to simulate a watercolor effect on the computer. The image quality is a little screwy but overall I rather like it. Hmm, maybe my artwork IS too cheerful but, that's what I'm good at. I hate art that brings you down. Call it shallow if you will....

DBZ: Great Saiya-Team

Wed, 23 Feb 2005 20:37:10 PST

"What the? Route 126?! Where are we?!"

The background is actually for work (which is why the buildings aren't DBZ style), but I thought I really needed to do something with it. ...and the idea of having the Great Saiyaman team getting lost just sounded like so much fun. *laughs* ...they're just so wonderfully uncool!

Full view recommended! (Or you might miss the dino >_^)

-Background: About 9-11 hours
-Foreground: About 4-5 hours
-Photoshop 7

The Great Saiyaman

Sun, 25 Jul 2004 15:01:41 PDT

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't been very active these last weeks - I've been kind of busy ^_^

Anyways, here's my fanart of the THE GREAT SAIYAMAN!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! (Okay, spaz moment over.) I spent a really long time drawing him compared to my other drawings. I was playing Budokai and got "inspired", lol. I didn't really grasp the true hilarious personality of Saiyaman, but oh well - I just felt like drawing in my own style.

Dawn with a mouse in Open Canvas 1.0. Comments and critiques are loved! You can visit me at portalgraphics.net if you'd like to d/l my event files and watch how I drew the pic Here's the link: [link]

Mucha-style GohanxVidel--final

Mon, 03 Apr 2006 21:05:40 PDT

[link] <--The lineart for this pic

As stated before, this was a piece inspired from the artist, Alphonse Mucha All basically done in less than 24 hours (but then again, I hadn't gotten ANY sleep since Saturday night) @___@ (I'm a lil' crazy like that, lmao.) But his works are so interesting~! Check them out someday if you have time. ^__^

It isn't *exactly* in Mucha's style... my own style kinda seeped in as well, lol All colored in Photoshop 7.0... I tried to color some of it in Open Canvas (which I hadn't colored with in a lonnnnnngg time) then once I tried, I was like, 'OMG this is harder than I remembered.' XDXD So, yeah, switched to PS instead (which I haven't used to color in a long time either, but hey, it's easier and more diverse than OC...) lmao, I kinda obsessed over this pic... over the littlest things... I think I'm developing OCD with my art or soemthing O.o (it's been like that a lot lately o.o) XD

I tried to shade with colors instead of directly using greys (like my professor is trying to teach me how to do)... It's not perfect-perfect-100%-perfect, but...I think it came out okay... Hope you like it too! ^_^

And, a big thank you to everyone who faved and/or commented on the un-colored version!

DBZ: Incoming...

*grin*

This was one of those "1:00AM" ideas; I was lying in bed thinking "I really need to get this down..." XD My sister helped a little with the scripting, she's laughed her way through more bad Mary Sue fics than I have.

I really hope people'll get the joke But I guess anyone who's been within a few miles of any major fanfiction community should know of the frightening number of badly written Mary Sue fics out there...

-2 hours drawing/inking, 5-6 colouring, Photoshop 7

Now and Then

Tue, 15 Aug 2006 14:10:34 PDT

Well I should say this took all of 5 seconds to color cuz I couldn't really think of anything cool to do with it. Not exactly a great drawing either and I really hate to point this out about myself but I ALWAYS make Piccolo's legs too short!! Maybe it's because I make his arms too long but that's also hard to avoid with that big bulky shoulder thing. I just can't win with you can I Piccolo? Piccolo: Hell no.

So what I really wanna do is talk about how cool I think these two are. I know most people consider the Great saiyaman thing like the kiss of death to Gohan's character but I totally love it. His idea of cool is hilarious and pretty much what you would expect from a kid who's been home schooled his whole life. I would say he's one of Dragonball's most well developed characters and I really think he should've become the main character after the Cell saga. Seriously, I know we all love Gokuh but he needed to take a back seat dammit!! And growing up watching this show, Gohan was always someone you felt you could relate to because well, he was the only kid and secondly he actually had a socially acceptable future to think about!

And Piccolo! My god, I cannot tell you how much I love this guy!! His degree of badass makes Vegeta look like a whiny little punk simply because he has an actual air of authority and brains to back it up. His fight with Gokuh at the 23rd tournament was definitely one of my favorites because he is a damn brutal fighter! And with a soft side for little kids, cute huh? Yeah, by the end of the series he's pretty much reduced to the babysitter but even in that I totally respect him. I'm especially fond of his relationship with Gohan because I guess that's where we see him change the most and he has kind of a weird conflict between wanting to protect Gohan and wanting him to stand up for himself. I really love these two characters but I guess there's a bit of a difference between what you like and what you like to draw...
