Tranquility

Blue eyes stared sleepily at the room's dark ceiling. It had been a while since they remained that way, and Sapphire couldn't tell how long it had been since she'd been abruptly woken from her dreamless sleep. She'd tossed and turned earlier, trying to get a comfortable position and hoping it would help. Eventually her eyelids wouldn't stop opening on their own, and, in submission, she'd settled to lying flat on her back, staring upwards at nothing.

Kazuya, Angel, and Devil


Some old Tekken fan art of my favorite trio of fighters. This led to a string of more related fan art… Which I hide myself in shame from to this day. Good lord. Should have just stuck to this one image and forgot about ever doing the rest.

Way back then, I was too dumb to learn how to do face proportioning, so excuse my display of embarrassment.

Holding Hands


Some old WALL-E fan art that I made when the movie started showing on cable. Got so hooked into it back then that I loved watching it over and over on TV.

Lockbox of Innocence


"Can you make me something"

"What?"

"A box with a key I can put my heart in and throw the key into a deep hole that is impossible to recover"

Drawn for a guildmate of mine who was going through a rough patch in his life.

Comestible Shop


Comestible shops are basically groceries. This was inspired from the course I was majoring in and the shop I usually frequent for ingredients. Back then I had thought of doing my internship at one of these places, but later on I ended up to pursue Japanese cuisine instead.

Tokyo Tower

Yup, still migrating content, and mostly pictures from Japan still. I've got another tower pic, and this one was en route to Hakone:

Tin Tower

Oh, look:


It's the Ecruteak Tin Tower a Tin Tower lookalike from Ueno Park. Think we'll find Ho-Oh at the top?

Sunlit Sakura

As part of my slow migration from dA and lack of content for the time being since my newest content so far is the latest chapter of One-Third, here's an old picture I took in Ueno Park during my trip there last April:


I normally don't post photos except on my Facebook, but I loved this one because of how pink and vibrant the sakura was. Most of the other sakura trees then were pale (almost lavender) and this was one of a few that were this pink.

Which reminds me, I have yet to finish my collection of pictures from Gunma featuring my OCs… I should really get that done with.

Terrarian Traveler


Zephyr in Terraria.

Ironically, I enjoy and prefer using yo-yos for weapons instead of swords in-game.

Traveler + 4


Off to Japan tomorrow, and I'll be visiting the Gunma prefecture. I'll be seeing a lot of mountains, possible onsen (hot springs), trees in the autumn FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER, and best of all, Japanese dishes.

Often when I travel I would write stories on my computer. Or I would end up thinking about, "What if my characters were in these places and were interacting with each other?" So I've decided to document my next trip to Japan by taking pictures of places I go to and I would draw my OCs doing all sorts of stuff in them.

Been a while since I used my tablet. This was a lot of fun to do. I originally wanted to put Zephyr, Tori, and Kite, but then I decided to throw Vir in there just so I have a reason to annoy Tori moar for the heck of it. 

I don't know why, but whenever I go to Japan, I always wear Tori colors (pink, white, blue, and brown) for some reason.

Aisle 5: Troublemaking, Toiletries

"So…" Kite started, glancing at Tori, who stood beside her. In front of them was a short line of two people waiting for their turn at the ForEx. "Why are we in line again? I don't recall you telling me."

"Ah. I need to exchange currencies." Tori pulled out an envelope of pokédollars, counting the amount of bills inside. "I can't pay for anything with the kind of money I have on hand. I need to get it exchanged for sparks."

"Sparks?"

"Yes. Turns out that's what they call money in this city."

"Oh, I see."

Tori: Black 2/White 2


Tori's most recent design for her Black 2/White 2 outfit, and apparently her outfit for a long, long time to come.

Starsea


Ink doodle I came up with a month back (but didn't upload because of work). I wanted to deviate from my usual character doodles and do something a little more pop art-ish.

Kamoro: Swanna

To commemorate a year of inking, I've decided to do a #throwbackthursday #flashbackfriday post of one of my first inkbook doodles.



Tori's Swanna, Kamoro.

Neira: Serperior


This is basically what Neira from Suikoden Tierkreis would look like if she was a Serperior. At least, that's how I see it anyway.

Ruby Sparkles: Cover/Bookmark



Supposedly the cover of a comic-retelling of Ruby's story in Unlimited Saga. Unfortunately, as with nearly everything I come up with, it never pushes past the ideal stage.

…Still so proud of how I drew Sapphire though.

Lyngbakr


The Lyngbakr is an Icelandic mythical creature whose name literally means heather back; it was a giant whale that had heather growing out of its back. It is first mentioned in the Icelandic saga Örvar-Oddr, where the hero Oddr and his crew encounter the creature in the sea, posing as an island of heather. They later find out this island was actually swallowed up by the Hafgufa (Kraken), camouflaged as two rocks they passed in the water sometime earlier.

Read more about the story here. Inspired from this piece.

~diskfire


An old digital pic I made of my friend on dA.

I'll be doing a couple of reposts here for archiving purposes. My busy schedule gives me little time to churn out some new content, but I'll hopefully have time for all my WIPs by the end of October.

Fresh start.


To be honest, I really don't have a lot to say, except for the fact that this is going to be my personal art blog outside of DeviantArt.

With that said, let the blogging begin!
