In Service of a God

Now this is an interesting one.

My first commission to lion21 (Black Lion) over at FA. Originally i had planned for it to be Jin being surprise-buttsecks'd by Ogre, but Lion and I came to the agreement of making it Hwoarang instead, and so he made this quite lovely pic, putting himself in the upper echelons of my favorite Commissionees. Expect lots more work from him on this blog in the future!

Keep your heads cool and your bodies hot!

Zeldrin's Half-year plans

Here's a little picture lined and flat-coloured by Zhu, and Coloured by Ness.
Guess how long it took form the day i commissioned it until it was finished? 7 months. I kid you not. xD
Anyways, this picture is of a member of the "Gon" race from the Korean MMO "Blade & Soul". I like it, but it's not quite 7 months. ;)

Do Enjoy!

Plain Ketchup

Okay, okay, i admit it: I have been a very naughty, very lazy boy who hasn't updated his blog for FAR too long. So let's just get straight to the goodies, shall we? I'll keep the SFW pics in the top and the more provocative ones further down.

First off, we've got a drawing of Anubis by my very nice buddy shark-blade over at FA. The idea came from an old pic i showed him of a very buff Anubis, and he elected to draw a new version for me. And here we have the excellent result:

Numero Dos:

Most of you have probably seen at least a part of this pic before, as i'm using it as my profile pic around the interwebs. Speaks volumes about how much i like it, i suppose. It's a commission of my OC Robert Cross by my good ol' American buddy barrin84 over at FA. He's still running these bust specials, i think, and i can definitely recommend him:

And now for a little bit of scalieness. This rather lovely pic was made by shark-blade and is the embodiment of an old childhood dream of ours: What happens when Spyro goes beyond his difficult Childhood and becomes a real dragon? All that adventuring must have done something, that's for sure.

And now i take the liberty of highlighting some of the a-f*cking-mazing work of best brother in the whole wide world: Ness!

It's not a commission, but i kind of requested it, and it's good enough that it deserves a highlight!

(As an extra note, he's promised to do a nude version sometime soon. Can't wait!)

Let's round off the SFW pics with style, shall we? This baby's a birthday pic from shark-blade featuring our two OCs doing a nice hi-five. I kind a wanted him to do this one as a sort of BFF-symbol. That it turned out real nice is just an extra bonus. :D

As for what Zhu's making for me right now, here's a WiP of his drawing of a Gon from the MMO "Blade & Soul"

And now for something completely different! Here's my birthday pic from Nico, who you may remember made me this lovely pic some time back. Well, he took the concept further, and out of that came this wonderfully artful pic. I think there's some very interesting colour plays and symbolism going on in there. But also: SMEX!

And now that we're nearing the end of this particular post, i've saved some of the best for last. This is a lineart by overlordofthepies and coloured by my newest discovery, Kyuuhari! I honestly fell in love with this baby when he showed it to me, and believe you me, this is not the last of kyuu's artwork you'll be seeing here!

Now, i think i have emptied my secret folders on my PC of anything i have any kind of claim to. I'll try to be a little more to-the-point with blog updates in the future, but i nevertheless hope you have all enjoyed this little showcase. If you feel you have been rudely forgotten or want some of these pics in a higher res, drop me a note on FA, write over IM, send me a mail, or whip my ass on Facebook. It's all up to you, gentle(wo)men!

Don't forget to comment either!

And with that, i shall leave you to more constructive matters.

All the love in the world:

Thirsting in the summer heat?

Well, that wouyld be too bad, because I'm on vacation!
At this point, I've posted most of the stuff I have on the blog anyway, so expect fewer updates in the future.

Enjoy the summer!

Arserape du jour

'ey there, ladies and gentlemen.
This week's picture was slightly delayed, but features Gantu having at David big time, and was made with the amazing talents of Barrin84 and Shark Blade.
This one was a very interesting production, as it took a few iterations before we got it right, but the end product was so mind (and dare I say load?) blowingly awesome that it was all worth it.
So, with that in mind; Enjoy!

Post-mortem:
After many raped childhoods, i bring you a little followup to this picture; namely an aftertouch by Conji:

Jak-off material!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you!

JAK!

This absolute jewel of a picture is the result of my first time working with the absolutely brilliant Conji. Rest assured, it will NOT be the last time!

Hang tight, buddies!

P.S: It was sorta kinda inspired by this:
http://yuqoi.deviantart.com/art/Hey-Jak-156464350
Maybe I'll get someone to do a pic of those two going at it, who knows! :D

UPDATE!
Conji was nice enough to give me a "little" bonus!

Emptiness is beautiful thing...

...Though you viewers of my blog might slightly disagree. I'm sorry for the inactivity, but I've got plenty going on, no new artwork inbound in the foreseeable future, and I'm burning through my old pieces faster than I'd like, so how about I bribe you with this hot pic by SAJ? Hmm?

Ham-handed

What is it with me forgetting to update this blog? Also, why have I suddenly turned into utter arse at spying in TF2? Heavens know, I certainly don't. Anyways. This weeks pic comes courtesey of the marvellous collaborative skills of Nico and Barrin84, and features Barrin's OC Barry, and Carmelita from the Sly Cooper games. This is the most expensive commission I've ever indulged in, but it's probably also the one I had the most pleasure overseeing the development of. All the better that the final product is as f*cking awesome as it is!
Enjoy!

Building a better OC

Aloha, ladies and gentlemen!
It's a dead sprint to the finish for me now.My final normal day of school is less than a month away, I've got lots of dosh to spend during my vacation and holiday, and perhaps most interestingly, I'm cooking up a new OC, featured here:

This absolute masterpiece was made by Zhu and my brother Ness. It's been a long time in the making, but I think this demonstrates the capabilities of not only these two great friends, but of collabs in general.

This pic features the very same charatcer I used to think of as future-me (idealised edition), but I'm now hard at work brewing up a backstory and turning him into a full-scale OC, which I'll be using in the more yaoi-style artistry I'm involved with.

That's it for this week. Live long and prosper!

There's something in the air...

...And I mean besides the bad smell of ammonia. A lot of stuff's been changing recently. I've made my first commission in quite a bit today, I've regained contact with my dear friend NeZu (Happy, happy, joy, joy!), and exam preparations are starting in school. It's exciting really.

Anyways, you boys and girls no doubt want some of the fun stuff to compensate for missing out last week, so I'm going to post something that's very special to me. The lines for this were made by overlordofthepies, who sadly severed contact with me after finishing, and it was coloured by the geniunely talented Anubis Kruger, who is an old friend of mine. He is new to the scene but offers very cheap commissions, so go give him something good to work with. ;)

And with that, I'm signing off.
