| Backstabbed 
 One of my earlier violent drawings.  In case you cannot tell, the fighter in the back is stabbing the one in the front with a sword.

| A Female Jedi 
 Here is another early drawing.  I obviously like Star Wars, so here is a Jedi.  She probably does not need the blaster, though.

| Kelinda and Velina 
 A VERY early drawing, these were my initial concepts of my two MUD characters.  At least as far as I could draw them.

| Kelinda with Katana 
 Despite my odd naming scheme, this was actually my first drawing of Kelinda.  I did not find out until after I drew this that my 
character's class made her not only incapable of magic, but it also gave her an extreme aversion to it.

| Kelinda Close-up 
 This is one of my favorite pencil drawings, and it was also one of the longest to do.  This was the second version of Kelinda that I
imagined.

| Kelinda in Pose 
 I drew this right after the close-up, as to keep the image fresh in my mind.  I think the close-up turned out better

| My First Knight 
 This is the first page in my sketchbook.  I was heavily influenced by a character from Final Fantasy Tactics.  Hard to believe
that this eventually became Velina.

| Full Plate Armor 
 After drawing my first knight, I realized her armor was sort of poorly arranged, so I went to the library and got a book on armor.  This 
was a sketch I did of as complete a set of plate as I could conceive at the time.

| Quicksand 
 I have a strange fixation with quicksand, so I decided one day to draw some.  This is the result.

| Rogue 
 I used to collect comics, especially anything X-Men.  Rogue was one of my favorite characters, so I attempted to draw her in colored
pencil.

| Velina and the Holy Silver Dragon 
 Velina is one of my MUD characters, and a healer.  Originally however, she was a warrior, and this is how I pictured her.  The dragon in the
background has nothing to do with and MUD.  Instead, it was actually the subject of an earlier project that I had to do in school.

| Velina Recuperates 
 When I first finished this drawing, it was instantly my favorite.  To some degrees, I still like it more than most of my more recent ones.

| Velina in Combat 
 This drawing was part of some strange story I was developing.  The story never got anywhere.

| Kelinda Retouch 
 This is the Kelinda close-up normal drawing, but with a black background, as well as a lighting effect.

| Kelinda's First Coloring 
 When I first bought a scanner for my new computer, I was so intent on doing some things with my drawings that I tried to color a drawing
without really knowing how to.  This was done in MS Paint.  It was mostly done just to do something.

| Kelinda in Color...Again 
 This drawing took place long after the previous one, after I knew what I was doing.  Naturally, it came out significantly better.

| Another Kelinda Retouch 
 This is the Kelinda in pose drawing, retouched in the same way the close-up was.

| Kelinda's Depression 
 This was the first of a set of three drawings that marked my first use of color and shading on the computer.  However, it was done in a
poor way, and the results show.  I sometimes think I ought to do this one as a regular pencil drawing someday.

| A Peaceful Kelinda 
 The second in the set of three, this was probably also the worst.  I thought of a cute outfit for Kelinda, but in the execution of it I
totally botched it.

| Kelinda Cries 
 The third of the set, and not any better.  This was supposed to be somewhat of a rarity of events for Kelinda, but I feel my drawing
did not capture any feeling.

| Kelinda's Contentedness 
 I finally improved my technique a bit here.  I also tried to use an anime style face, and although it did not turn out quite right, I still like
the drawing overall.

| Kelinda in Training 
 Strange, that one of my later drawings of Kelinda takes her back to her youth.  Here she is in her teenage years.  She is a bit tom-boyish
at the time.

| Spellbane 
 Alas, due to technical difficulties with the MUD she existed on, Kelinda never got to use her spellbane ability.

| Kelinda and Psyduck?? 
 I hate to admit it, but yes I think some Pokemon are kind of cute.  And what better companion for young Kelinda than a confused
psyduck?

| Lily's Magic 
 At the request of a rl friend of mine from the same MUD, I drew one of her characters.  I am not sure that my depiction exactly
matches what she envisions, but I hope it is somewhat close.

| Lily Sunshine 
 After having drawn the first Lily, a new composition occured to me in the middle of an Economics lecture.  I did a quick sketch there, and 
did the real thing not too much later.

| Sarah in Quicksand 
 The same friend who asked me to draw her MUD character saw my pencil quicksand drawing, and asked me to do one of her in quicksand.
I very quickly responded.

| Velina Heals 
 This drawing took place not too long after my first try at color on Kelinda.  Also did this in Paint.  I did add the lens flare later in 
another program.

| Surrounded by Hostility 
 I did this drawing a little bit after that horrendous set of three Kelindas.  This one thankfully came out a little better than those.

| Velina, Battle Ready 
 After having changed Velina's outfit for the two previous drawings, this was her return to her original self, mostly.  This was also the
best result I could get in my outmoded flood fill technique.  Everything after this was done using layers.

| Velina's Nap 
 I had originally intended to do this drawing as I had done the ones before it, but I could never get it quite right.  Finally I learned new
techniques, and went back to this drawing to finish it.

| Young Kelinda 
 I actually drew this picture just to be a graphic in another part of the page, but it turned out relatively well, so I added a decided to post
it here as well.
