WOOSH! I UPLOADED SOMETHING!!!

One of several ink illustrations including some Princess Mononoke fanart that I have that needs uploading. This, obviously is from my own series and has nothing to do with Mononoke.

This is Phissara Ykaren! Admiral 'Fishbreath' Ykaren is one of my all-time faviourite Rimer characters and here he is being badhatz in his newly redesigned (or should I say designed?) dragon form. (Ykaren's a shapeshifting drakoon.) The beauty of working with ink is that if you make a mistake you can not fix it without photoshop and as I disdain using any more photoshop than the minimum for these traditional pieces, mistakes, including areas where I'm not so happy with the B/W contrast and accidental pen swipes are left intact. The only thing I photoshop out is the red pencil that I drew the illustration in originally.

So here is Ykaren, who as a character is worthy of much fangirling from his creator because of his sheer badassery. *Obsessed.* (He's so badass in fact that I have spent the last two months agonizing over the writing of his introduction part like a poop-head.)

This picture is very stylized compared to my usual work, especially in the wings (they are WAY too small) but sometimes you just wanna draw something artsy-fartsy.

MEOW.

NOTE! Ykaren is not furry, he is wearing ornamental armour made out of horse hair; while useless if he's actually hit (though there's some perfectly dependable chainmail beneath it) the horse hair serves the purpose of helping Ykaren freak the crap out of his enemies before he even attacks them. This is known as a fear tactic. Examples of real fear tactics employed by factual warriors in our history include war paint, fighting naked and the use of bagpipes - scare the crap out of your foe before meeting them and they're easier to defeat.
