I miss Windows XP.

I was unable to even format my disc drive, or to install Windows again, needed to do it with Ubuntu, and this is my “new” forced OS now. Can’t draw, can’t design, can’t do anything besides surf and chat. This is boring, this is… ugh, I can’t do anything. I can’t install Windows anymore.

I’ll save money to get a new computer… -_-  here comes… months without drawing or designing my personal stuff.

@dA

Sorry, had to do it, even if some people thinks I shouldn’t have.

Aaaaaand, Louten made a very kickass version of Dyna Ikari.

@dA

I need to start to make stuff like that, great job Louten.

Dyna Ikari needed a digital treatment, but sometimes I get bored quickly, so I often leave unfinished drawings.

I need to try new things…

I did not knew he already started doing it and I was taking my time to think and ask him what would he want to be drawn. Until he told me he was almost done with the drawing I was like: “…what? so soon?”

So he was done in a couple of days and I had to ask him, he suggested two of his original characters: Ulven and Sarah.

I picked up Ulven because I felt with the urge to draw more masculine character opposed to the plethora of girls I’ve been drawing.
He made a lovely drawing of Dyna Ikari and even myself, thanks a lot =D

Damn it, it’s too big!

And last, but not least (or less important), I’d like to share a Kiriban I won with Sadiek by spotting the desired pageviews.

¿Kiriban? Well, basically, a Kiriban is a Gift Art for people that meet certain requirements, given spotting a certain number (like pageviews) or having a “winner comment” in a journal. It’s like: “Congratulations, you are visitor number 35k!” and you get a drawing for free, courtesy of the house.

So yeah, I was her 15k visitor (4k visits ago), I understand she’s a busy person, she works and earns her money and is a working artist. I appreciate she gave me a place in her schedule for this drawing. Thank you.

An Art Trade for Wenynen, done in Paint Tool SAI due to recommendation, thank you Louten for that.

I borrowed a lot of inspiration from Louten and his gallery, also his words encouraged me to pick the tablet once more and finish this illustration.

Thank you Wenynen for your lovely artwork, the outcome was very good and it’s great to see Dyna in a different style.

An extra drawing is also an Art Trade for Wolf da Lyprix.

Dyna ‘Blade’ Ikari, she is one of the first characters I ever created 14-15 years ago. She serves as “adult image” and mentor to my other character, Mikerot Dash.

She is 28 years old and owns a huge heritage left by her family, consists in a museum-like house that has an armory with ancient pieces “abandoned” throughout history. Legendary weapons, armors, shields and other artifacts, even the ones that are claimed to be just myth she has them in possession.
She wields the legendary “Firebrand Edge“, a retractable longsword that can also summon fire and cut through most things.

Wise, focused and methodical, Dyna leads a School of Combat Sports with themes such as Fencing, Martial Arts, Boxing, Kick Boxing and she teaches most of the assignments.
Because of her unreal skill with the sword and a huge collection of blades, she got nicknamed “Blade” by her students and friends

Finding Mikerot has been one of the most bizarre encounters she ever had, because she found out he wasn’t even human, nor Alien, Mikerot was a true deity from higher realms, hidden in her middle-realm to prevent the end of days.

Under her protection and tutelage, Mikerot learned how to perform with various weapons and self handedly, also helped him to overcome his fears and become more calm and methodical. She claims Mikerot is her best student so far, but she is unsure if that’s because of his heritage.

As story progresses, Dyna becomes an Einherjar due to her magnificent ability to fight, but that leaves Mikerot alone… and bitter.
She continues to watch over her student, but also must stand true to her new job, which is to fight for Lord Odin and to protect Valhalla no matter what cost.

She was assigned to secretly support Mikerot, since he was a primary target of other godly enemies, such as the giants from Jotunheim and the fiends from Muspelheim, the Vanir. Using Mikerot would ensure the end of days, known as Rägnarok, and was Odin’s orders to protect Mikerot from being influenced or kidnapped by unknown fiends, this was to ensure survival of Asgard deities.

Her favorite color is red, she sleeps a lot, loves milkshakes and doesn’t like to sit down when talking to somebody, she stares at the eyes only, that kind of scares people away because her stare is too deep and intimidating, she means no harm though.

Has small history, and it’s based on my first published artwork on deviantART, but it’s not really important, it was the result of being bored while waiting for my exams and maybe the music I was listening to in my iPod, but enough talk, here comes the new version of “The Hand of Fate“.

This is the homage for my old drawing, six years later, and yes, I know this looks exactly like an AutoMail.

Sometimes, fast drawings end up being way better than polished artworks, and this is an example of one of my fastest drawings being better than the majority of my polished drawings xD
Hope you like it =)

I’ve been longing to actually do some fanart based on Death, from “The Sandman” graphic novel and her own graphic novel as well, created by the genius Neil Gaiman. I just decided to take the pen and started doing a quick doodle that ended up being of my taste, so I progressed a little more and… voilá, a fast sketch of one of my favorite characters ever.

Hideko. Check it at deviantART

After months of excuses and promises (on my end), I finally stepped it up and finished an Art Trade, dedicated to Dingo666. This is Hideko, an Original Character based on the popular RPG “Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4“, by request of Dingo666, I took power of the character and made my own version.

And I also allowed Dingo666 to draw my original character, Dyna Ikari. He recently released his take on it, and I will gladly post it here, thanks a lot Dingo, I love the drawing you made to me and sorry for the HUGE delay.
