EDIT - reworked the face and the abs since they've been bugging me for the longest time.There, I feel better now <3.

Another old piece from 2003. This is an edit from the original piece on my site that I reserved for convention prints.
Way back when, there was a halloween contest on the Shinraonline forums. I chose to do a character re-interpretation of FFX's Tidus where I made him all dark/goth-ish like. In the end it looked nothing like him at all by the time I was done LOL.
So, I decided then and there that this would be the original character concept for my story idea called Blacksheep7, where I took the nursery rhyme "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and inexplicably turned it into a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story. I came up with it while I was on the can in a Chinese restaurant one evening.
This character's name is tentatively named Tybalt, named for that "prince of cats" in Romeo and Juliet.
Another concept illo from Blacksheep7 could be found here: [link]

Looking good as always.
People should buy more posters and prints from you. Heck, they should just message you and not wait for the cons. I mean Christmas is just around the corner right?

hey, jess, this one really caught my eye from afar...
when i look at it larger size, i noticed something odd with the hand/arm posture, you wanna try posing that in front of the mirror and see/feel for yourself and look at the pic again? ;o

It's very good. First I thought "he looks like Tidus", and i'm glad that i was right. XD
The way you color is astounding, your style is so nice!

I've never understood what that lantern / fire / sword thing on the right is. Very confusing.
This was one of my favorite pieces from you back when you posted on the Dreamwave forums, though.

Me neither, off the top of my head, conjuring magic? I thought it was something visually cool that could work into the circular composition.

Well, this looks familiar XD Though, it does look better :3 I don't know how you catch stuff like that, because it never bothered me before XD

Believe it or not i found this pic way back when in '03 and fell in love with it. It's pretty much the bar I set for myself to become like...it's magnificant. On another note, I often get cool ideas on the the pot, bathrooms are excellant idea rooms. I feel all colab meetings should be held in one, in theory it would be far more productive.

In theory indeed LOL.
Personally I dig cafes. Eating, drinking, merry-making, and drawing all in one. Even better with more people around.

Y'know what's funny? The guy who directed the Killer 7 and the No More Heroes videogames, Suda 51, stated he got his ideas in the washroom in a recent interview. So yey! I'm not alone!!
Man, if Tidus could look or be that badass, maybe he'll have even more fangirls than the ones for Cloud or Sephiroth... Maybe?

It's remarkable how a lot of ideas come to us during our potty breaks XD I like the story of how this character was conceived. I never would've guessed it was meant to be Tidus.
