Description
Fff, and this isn't even all of it XD I also did a 10 page mini-comic (which you can't see yet, sorry~) and a few other pictures that spoil my plotline XDMonarch drawing binge, heck yeah XD
When I do traditional art, I don't really do little character sketches very often, so all of there are basically finished pieces.
Anyway, from left to right:
1. Skull Diagrams
~enigmatia mentioned that she was curious about what Gabby's skull might look like, so I did a sketch of what my version of a normal irken skull would be like, along with Gabby's to compare. Her eye sockets and jaw are actually fused, so she has the overal shape of a normal head, but no features. Saik's skull is there just because XD
2. "How to Let Go"
A recurring idea in my drawings that pops up every now and then when I'm upset about something (like getting beaten 12-nil on the first game >.>). The idea is of butterfllies representing negative feelings and to let go you need to allow them to escape.
3. G-Girl
A picture of Gabby wearing the headpiece of a security system I'm designing for *Zerna 's contest. The musical wings made of treble and bass clefs is also an idea I use repeatedly. Because I like them. Yep.
4. "Look Closer, See Deeper"
Monarch has a tendancy to smile alot of the time, even when she is sad.
I just wanted to draw something pretty and depressing at the same time
5. Never Surrender
Monarch's a fighter, like I've said. This picture was supposed to be powerful and meaningful, and show Monarch's views on fighting. She's a strong pacifist, but that doesn't mean she isn't above stepping in to sort things out.
I love that battle armour design
6. "Drive"
This is supposed to be the main image Thymel has in his head through my comic. After sustainging her injuries Saik was very close to being kicked out of the army. She came to Thymel, begging him to let her stay, to find a way for her to keep in the military, and crying "You can't let them kick me out, please, this is all I have..."
7. Leslie- a mechanic.
I've been thinking through Les's character alot lately and I've decided that besides her daddy's gambling ability, Leslie also gained quite a strong interest in mechanics from her mothers side. She's actually a pretty smart kid, and knows her way around most machines. She loves hovercars and bikes, especially vintage models. Ergo, petrolhead XD
8. "Mother-Daughter Relations"
Leslie doesn't get along very well with Zryin, mostly because she's a bit pissed at her Mum for leaving her Dad right after giving birth to her. Zryin tends to take a formal approach to Leslie, because she has no idea how to act around children XD They get into alot of arguements, often with Al in the middle trying to break it up XD
9. "Bleed it Out"
Evil looking Monarch was really, really fun to draw. As was the creepy demonic dragon thing behind her. I love drawing bones 8D Lyrics by Linking Park, btw C:
10. "Belive"
Inspired by the song by The Bravery. I was really trying to get her clothing looking realistic in this one. I'm really happy with how the whole thing turned out though.
11. Alowitz
I really need to practice male anatomy XD BUt I'm quite happy with how this one turned out, too. I really like Al as a character now C:
12. "Biker Chick"
Leslie again C: She love riding hoverbikes, and often gets them by gambling them off customers at her workplace (an asteroid cafe XD). That's basically her riding outfit.
13. "This is a Joke"
D'ya get it?
14. "Freerunner"
Betelgeuse does Freerunning now CB This was practicing male anatomy again. It was hard to get that position right, but I hope I pulled it off XD
15. Persephone
I imagine when she draws her hand over her hair is just springs straight back up again XD
She looks way too masculine here though.
16. "You remind me of someone..."
Monarch, as I may have mentioned, is the only one of my characters who has met all of the others (even Alt and Gabby!). She's also very good around children C:
And that's that C: Sorry for the low quality guys, but I got lazy with my scanning
Oh. All these pictures were drawn over the time span of one week. True story.
All characters shown here C Me.

lskdjglsakdgjasgd... All of these are so amazing and the body movements/poses have such great flow.. you did excellent work on the clothes..
Gabby's headset thing is a very nice looking concept and using the musical notes was a very creative and fun idea.
That suit you have Monarch in seriously looks wicked awesome... Indeed, you should do something more with it.
That beasty thing she's with in that one picture reminds me a lot of my Black Doom Mantis monster but mine definitely looks different. That guy there is cool though.. I like the bone ridges on his neck.
That's a rather nice picture of Alowitz there.. ^ ^ I like it.
The concept with the butterflies in the bottom left corner image is very creative as well... I just think it's so wonderful.. XD .. *shrug*
And all of the other pictures are amazing as well... You amaze me with the action poses.... as well as the designs and concepts..

I think my drive was remembering how well you do them XD The way you cover the angles, like on that stunning picture of Queen ;D
Thanks C:
I'm planning to ;D Expect that... After my comic is done *poke prod torture*
Oh yeah, I think that might be some (a large part) of the inspiration for it...
Thanks C:
Yay 8D
Hha, it's something I do every so often, but it works much nicer with a character who is actually butterfly themed XD
Wel thanks C: action poses are my specialty ;D

Third from the left on the top row...! 'Never Surrender', you Have to do something with that design, it is beautiful!!
All in all, a rather eclectic pile of sketches! As mentioned, I especially love number three on the top row, Monarch, and would be absolutely delighted to see you do a full-sized rendition of it. And you put so much emotion and heart into these little images... I really do rather envy that, heh. Fantastic selection of sketches.

Thankyou C: My main objective is to portray emotion.

number 10 is my absolute favourite. I like the feel of those sketches, they all have a lot of movement. I also like how you draw the hands (especially in number 13, eh eh)
