Random Mix of Fanart

[Xylia]

This is just a little selection of some fanart I've done over the years. There is mostly Kingdom Hearts and Bleach, one Metal Gear Solid and like two One Piece. Ok, and a Pokémon but not really. All sections have a preview image!

Color/Finished

Otacon from Many Gay Soldiers Metal Gear Solid.
Abarai Renji from Bleach. I did this one morning and I really liked it.
Ayasegawa Yumichika from Bleach. I know only women wear furisode. He's fabulous in it anyway. Oh, and I messed up his eyebrow feathers. Oops... Sorry Yumi!
Yumi's Ad I played him in an RP where he was a model HAHA.
Yumi again...
Portgas D. Ace from One Piece.
Pokémon Professors original characters for a trading card game. You should all join and put Professor Flax/Xylia as a referral!
Ace LOL one of my friends wanted me to draw Ace again and he's so cute so ):
Axel's neck. I think this is the only one I drew on campus. ROFL I was like drawing it at Kimmel and hoping no one looked at me funny ):
Lexa who is Axel's genderbent version (clever...)
Lexa fullbody for her profile layout.

Sketch/Rough

My Soul Linker from Ragnarok Online-- the server is now down! ): She was based off of a genderbent Xemnas from Kingdom Hearts.
My Assassin also from RO and based off of Zexion, also from KH (I'm very original.)
Xemnas who was really fierce in this picture rofl.
Zexion teaching Axel calculus. Both from Kingdom Hearts (do you see a pattern...)
Yumichika shirtless! I have never seen him shirtless in canon
Renji the vampire.
Kira Izuru Bleach.

BL/Shounen-Ai/Yaoi (guy on guy)

Axel/Zexion quick sketch.
Ikkaku/Yumichika =)
Zoro/Zexion No, this couple doesn't make ANY sense.

From what I can see, it looks pretty impressive. You have a deviant art account?

btw the links are like this word[/ url] except without spaces.

_{How Zoro and Zexion got together, I do not know, but that is indeed quite epic.}


I would like to say that I am very much in love with your style with its mix of realism and idyllic, beautiful features, and am also very much fascinated with your coloring style - as seen in your picture of Otacon which I have been studying for the past few minutes. [IE. Staring like this Q___________________Q <3]

So yes, nice and well thought comment aside - here comes the keyboard spazz to show my appreciation for your gorgeous work: asdpkaopkskdpaskop <3<3<3<3

I'm curious, what program do you use? And do you draw straight on the tablet or do you sketch and scan? :3

[Xylia]

Thanks, Lady_Earlgray! Also, they got together as a result of a multifandom roleplay... lol...

UHH;;

So anyway, I used to use photoshop 7.0 and now I use photoshop CS2. I'm trying to get in the habit of using Sai for lineart, because it's so much easier... Uhh, I have a Wacom Intuous 3 4x5, and I've gotten a lot of mileage out of it. I'd trade up for the new model (because it's sexy as hell) but mine still works so I'd feel bad spending the money if I don't have to. I also prefer CS3 but as I can't have it...

I also was briefly into Open Canvas 1.1, which is really nice if you just want to dive into a painting.

I used to draw on real paper and scan it in but then my parents found my drawings. Actually, that's one of the reasons I got a tablet. Now I do everything on the computer from start to finish. If I doodle something during class and I really like it, I'll probably end up redrawing it from scratch instead of scanning it in.

Hope that helps! Also, I suggest trying out www.illuststudio.net/ as the videos make it look incredible, and I've been meaning to try it out myself but I don't think they have it in the States (or English!)
