15 days since last post

I'm supposedly in the middle of mid-term and I have a few exams for which I must study (hard?). Good reason to avoid my blog for a while. Anyway, I had no inspiration for a post. I spent the last 2 weeks reading, studying, and playing a little FFXII. I also watched EVERY Naruto episodes on YouTube and couldn't stop until the very last. I love this anime!

For our 1800's London-like D&D game, Alex decided to switch it to Exalted, which pleases J-F a lot as well as myself. We only have to exalt our character. We will be able to test our newly half-god characters next week, I can't wait! I already build up Kylie as a Solar Exalted (Night cast) and it fits well the way she is. Since I constantly think about her, I drew Kylie twice as well as her reaver daiklave.

This is the first picture of her, holding her father's reaver daiklave (done on Sunday February the 25th). I like the way she stands, parrying an attack with her huge sword. I'm proud of the fighting gauntlets since I suck at drawing hands. The only thing that bothers me is her face. Her eyes are looking just fine, but her mouth seems a bit too big and her "portrait" just glued to her head. Scanning the picture happened to emphasize this effect. Like there was no volume...

Kylie's new reaver daiklave (done on Tuesday February the 27th while bathing...). I'd like to have such a sword. Don't forget it's 5 to 6 feet long!



My newest creation (the date is written on the picture -- today). I bought myself a 3H pen and a sketch book and I couldn't wait to try them. I ended up drawing Kylie in the move to smash an opponent with her new reaver daiklave. I think that's one of my favorite drawings and probably one of my best. I changed the way I draw shadows, using perpendicular lines instead of fulling areas, and it looks great. You also have to understand the way she uses her sword : it's like she's holding a 5-6 feet-long dagger!

Hope you enjoy!
