Description November wasn't such a productive month for drawing for me, as I spend most of the time writing on the Emion novel -- which went remarkably well, I did 100+ pages last month and I'm still going

Anyway... I finally got a fullsize mirror hanging in my drawing room, which makes it a lot easier to use myself as a reference.
A totally legit excuse to draw some dynamic poses. More or less a follow up on the thing I did last March.


Yep, these are all characters of mine. 
The writing inspired me pretty badly to some of those characters in fighting poses. Because epic powers are totally epic!

Characters from left to right, top to bottom;
01. Sato (old outfit)
02. Anima. Some power-up move.
03. Sergei. Yeah, he has a mad obsession with fire.
04. Sato
05. Maximillian vs Sato. The height difference is real XD
06. Rena
07. Sato (again XD)
08. Anima. Full form, with all the glowy stuff :')
09. Aiden. Yes, those guns can shut power-users at any time. He's a fucking badass XD
10. Sayako
11. Mana. The dude absorbs light and uses it as energy. That's why he always glows XD
12. Sato with his new outfit.
13. Sergei again. I wanted to do foreshortening so badly XD
14. Sato again. Dude got hurt.


Oh yeah... I had a whole lot of fun doing this XD

The greatest thing is... it didn't even feel like effort. I was just scribbling around while having a huge bit of fun. It didn't even feel like working

I think that's how art should be most of the time. :] 

Random quote I remembered: 
"Work is against human nature. The proof is that it makes us tired."

Oh, you'll eventually get tired playing too

Fair. :[ Maybe that quote needs a follow up, to turn work into play--it's more awesome being tired from playing than working imo.

They are all so pretty! Sato's outfit sure changed quite drasticaly. I wonder how he got hurt...?

DamaiMikaz In reply to Katrinava [2015-11-27 23:27:36 +0000 UTC]

The storyline takes place over the timespan of a few years (especially when you include flashbacks and everything) so yeah... outfits change during those times. 
The one with the triangle scarf is one of his regular outfits. The one with the regular scarf and the armband is a student uniform. The one with the white and gold is one he wears later in the storyline, mostly during formal (politic) events. The last one is just a regular hospital outfit.

And the dude got hurt because he's really bad at making friends and really good at making enemies. Somebody beat him up XD

Katrinava In reply to DamaiMikaz [2015-11-28 15:39:38 +0000 UTC]

Oh, so many outfits! I'll keep that in mind when I try to illustrate some of my own stories.
Yeah, I'm not surprised!

Well... the whole thing is based on a novel. I guess comics usually go for a simpler style ^^

God, how do you get over 100 pages done in a month? I can barely get 10 done in a semester!

Awesome poses btw. It's cool how you capture emotion so well

DamaiMikaz In reply to SakuraTES [2015-11-27 18:48:53 +0000 UTC]

I have massive writing inspiration   

And I'm glad it works well with the emotion. It's my main goal nowadays to get the emotion or expression of the character right

SakuraTES In reply to DamaiMikaz [2015-11-27 18:59:52 +0000 UTC]

that's something I don't have

I think you're really good at it! Emotions are hard to draw... ^^'
