:RH: Wallflowers and Windows

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 00:48:20 PST

A story in the works about the tenants of an apartment complex, their heartbreaks, death, and rebirth.

[Top row, left to right]

Ryan Wakahisa:
-The Wallflower-
"Why can't they see me? It's as if I'm a ghost..."

Christian Zabat
-Forget-me-not-
"The water reflects their dying faces in my dreams and I can't sleep. I can't forget them...I can't forgive myself."

Morgan Adessi
-Strange Fruit-
"Looking after other people all the time ends up making me feel like a fucking zombie. I just want to forget all that and lose myself sometimes, you know?"

[Bottom row, left to right]

Romaine Chavez
-Herb of the Sun-
"And how is being a ghost a bad thing? You can go places others can't even dream of."

Abigail Zabat
-Baby's Breath-
"...I forgive you."

Dominique Liu
-The Wind in the Willows-
"There are better ways to lose yourself. Have you ever stayed awake until the birds start singing again? Even before the sun rises... Would you stay awake with me..?"

_{Been working on this picture on and off for a while. Got distracted with some other pictures and projects and shit and came back to it the past coupla days XD

I like how it turned out!
I still need to work on more detailed portraits though, UGH
(god, I wouldn't even call this anywhere near semi-realism :I;;;.... Really need to work on that too orz)
There are a few stylistic choices (like keeping dom very sketchy in some areas) that I think I could've done better, but EHH I need to put it down.

If you can guess the flower on Morgan's ring, I'll give you a cookie <3

I love this couple, have I mentioned that? ;;

Oh, and they are BOTH GIRLS, sorry!
I like diversity

Hope you enjoy!}

haha, some more typical stuff from me to follow up my three digital paintings xD

a pretty old sketch line up of my side project "Romaine Hearts"

_{RH is a story in the works about the tenants of an apartment complex, their heartbreaks, issues, and rebirth.

from left to right, the characters are:
Beryl, Morgan, Dominique, Romaine, Ryan, Christian, and Abigail}

While Bee was working on her Monster Girl Challenge, I wanted to challenge myself to try an experimental comic.
(aka “in which I try to illustrate the most romantic and metaphorical 69 position ever”)

Morgan and Dominique from Romaine Hearts.
I wanted to play with the visual representation of their personalities, and this is a vision I’ve had for their story for a while.
Sex as a theme in stories is something I really enjoy, not exactly for a perverted reason (not that that’s a bad thing) but for the visceral connection between people.
And I think it’s interesting to have an asexual character (Dom) involved. I don’t thing it detracts from her Ace identity at all, just how their mental connection doesn’t detract from Morgan’s sexual identity.

These two are a really interesting balance.

Please let me know what you think!

And you can read this on Tumblr too (I personally think the Tumblr format looks better): [link]

Valentines Day Challenge

Sorry if anyone got this twice, dA is being buggy

Anyway, this is my personal Valentines Day Challenge, where I tried to draw as many of my couples as possible before the day was over.
Got six done, and from all across the spectrum HAHA

The couples are:
Yama and Marduk from Avatar: Chasing the Sun
Mint and Ren from SalaDays
Lerl and Syrus from Demon King (really old story. ...oh god it's so old)
Andy and Bruce from Picture This
Dominique and Morgan from Romaine Hearts
Dani and Lee from SalaDays

You're probably wondering why none of the main PT couples are in this, but these are actually 100% my OCs, none from Bee.
(I wanted to challenge myself because it's hard to write romance without her now LOL)
But yeah, happy late Valentines again!

Also on Tumblr

Romaine Hearts is a side-project I'm also working on in the background (it's a back-burner project, don't worry haha xD)

feel free to ask any questions, but I might not reply.
this is a more story-heavy project so there's a lot to spoil

An assignment I did for a class, where I had to copy the Art Nouveau style o3o

This is my character Dominique, who some of you may or may not recognize from this picture: Details in the Fabric
The story is called "Romaine Hearts" and is still in the works <3

She's been through some editing due to baggage, but I still love her.

Thanks for any and all faves/comments!

a picture i drew for part of a homework assignment.
we had to somehow create "focal point" in a composition using different methods, and one of them was "isolation", so ta-da

i like how it turned out seeing as it was the first time i ever used markers, harhar.

the ballpoint pen i used started bleeding once i started applying the greytones with the markers, but i like how it turned out o_O

yay, i love markers now hoho |D
