Key
of Resonance: Warbabes This piece, the proposed front cover of a work-in-progress
manga is also used in the Gamers Eyeball:Manila main poster. Because
the target output is print, the image's actual dimensions are a whopping
4500x3000 pixels at 300dpi.

Nakoruru-Bust:
In the fighting-game Samurai Shodown, you can choose between the normal
character and an 'evil' version. SNK labeled it Slash (for good) and
Bust (for evil) - hence the 'inspiration' for the sketch. Originally
a 'realistic' style b/w sketch, the image was scanned in, retouched
and colored in Photoshop. Afterwards, the Watercolor filter was used.

Rhiyanna
Stormcaller: A requested artwork by the author of Twilight Age, this
sketch was supposed to be a colored image but I never got around to
finishing it. To make it less plain looking, the pencil sketch was
scanned in and enhanced using PhotoShop's halftone filter and additional
shading. For more information about the Stormcaller and other characters
in this milieu, check out the
Twilight Age site

Fauvian
Battle Slave: Originally a concept sketch of Hanuman for a proposed
3D TV series based on the Ramayana, this unused monkey design was
later borrowed for the Twilight Age setting. Like the Stormcaller,
this pencil sketch was also enhanced with PhotoShop. Check out the
Twilight
Age site
for more details about him and other creatures found in this world.

Cord:
Based on a quick sketch, this was close to my vision of how to present
one of the many characters that the Aegis folks have played in Castle
Falkenstein. Devlin Cord is played by Dennis Ching. Shaded in PhotoShop,
watercolor effect was done using a supplied filter.

Porsche:
In our Castle Falkenstein milieu, this dragon-inventor as an infant
was adopted into the human family that would eventually make the famous
911 sports car. Porsche is played by Tommy Lim. Shaded in PhotoShop
and applied the Watercolor filter afterwards.

Aslan:
Known as the "Aromatic Unbeliever", check out the anecdotes to find
out why he's branded with such a colorful appellation. Mir Aslan is
played by Dariel Quiogue. No change in technique from the other two
cameos.

Aslan/Porsche
sketch: A study of two of our Castle Falkenstein characters. To save
space, I drew them side by side, but they are not to scale to each
other (that's why the Afghan is larger than the German). Sketched
in blue pencil and scanned in (naturally).

Ellis:
One of my D&D characters, Ellis was 'borrowed' from the PlayStation
game Battle Arena Toshinden and played as an Uber-Ditz! Done in color
pencils and gelpen ink, only the background and effects were done
in PhotoShop

Morgan:
Sailor Jupiter all grown up? Possibly... Actually, she's a character
I designed for a proposed 3D fighting game with weapons (like Soul
Edge) during the 3DO era. Unfortunately, due to circumstances far
too complex to mention, the game never got off the ground. Pencil
image colored in PhotoShop. Text on the lower left hand corner is
my name in Katakana.

(Neo-Evangelion Genesis Quest): What happens when you bring the cast
of Evangelion into a medieval fantasy setting? Here's one possibility
(with appropriate costume redesign!). Scanned inked artwork colored
in PhotoShop. This "big" image is a mere 25% of the actual
size.

Sera
Kurisumasu: So far I only have two images that use this new style
I discovered (I call it "noseless art") and the other one is a mascot
for another website. The girls are carrying Katakana symbols that
spell out "Merry Christmas" in Japanese. As usual, scanned
inked work and colored in PhotoShop. I also used a cel-style shading
technique mixed with my normal shading style.

L5R
the PBEM: Featuring 15 of the characters found in Aegis' Play-By-E-Mail
Legend of the Five Rings adventure, the 16th character (the man below
the red-headed giant and above the surprised white-haired lady) is
a representation of the game's moderator. Lineart, text and backgrounds
were all done by me and character's coloring were done by Tommy 'Drachelord'
Lim. Both artists used PhotoShop for this tour de force production.
