Got around to installing a lot of my old games on this computer recently, as I hadn't done it yet. Decided to replay Jade Empire first... And beating it, I realized though I love that game, I'd never drawn any fan art for it before - not any I finished and liked, at least. So, I drew my favorite Spirit Monk to play, Furious Ming:



Details: Balanced fighter (slight Mind/speed favoring), Open Palm, romances Dawn Star and favors Leaping Tiger, Paralyzing Palm and Longsword fighting styles.

For the record, he's doing a roundhouse kick - because that's the kick I'm having the most trouble learning in taekwondo. Can sort of do it well with my left leg, still struggling a lot with my right; and I need to work on my balance/pivoting for it. Ah well, it's getting better.

Ah, roundhouse kicks, eh? I remember having to learn those in Taekwondo myself. They ARE somewhat difficult and take some practice.



Also: Nice art of Furious Ming. I can't say I've ever played Jade Empire, but the game DOES sound interesting.

[DalishRanger]

Indeed. Pivoting and keeping my balance right is the hardest part for me, especially when I'm kicking with my right leg. Dunno why, but in general I seem to kick and punch much better with my left side than I do my right. And no, I'm not left-handed.



You should! It's a fantastic game. Could find it for dirt cheap too. I think when I bought the Xbox version for my brother a few years ago, it was less than $10. Pretty sure it's one of the games that's backwards compatible if you play it on the 360. I prefer it on the PC myself, but it takes up 8 GB of space and I dunno how much space you have to spare on your PC.

Regular viewers might recognize dwarf!Jowan, a casteless Legam and Leliana adopted in Seasons of Love. Today I draw them together to spread a message:

Leliana's voice actress, Corinne Kempa, is working on a short film about transracial adoption, titled "Zalika." An adoptee herself, this project is close to Corinne's heart, and she is currently raising funds to get the film going. You can find out more about the film itself here.

As part of a way to garner financial support, Corinne and Claudia Black (Morrigan's voice actress) have started a contest - those who donate to the film's funds can get a ticket to be entered into a random drawing. The winner gets a copy of Dragon Age: Origins signed by Claudia Black and/or Corinne Kempa themselves. You can read more on the contest here.

If you have some spare cash, I hope you can donate to the cause, whether for the film itself or for the contest. Though I have no personal investment in it, I am in full support of this film myself - as should be obvious by now from my artwork, I am a full supporter of interracial love (romantic, platonic, familial - any kind). Also, adoption is a subject very close to my heart too - my father was adopted, and I can think of few bonds as close as the one my dad shared with his father.

So, enough slightly preachy rambling. I hope you at least give the project/contest a closer look.

This is just so awesome.
And I am glad to see that there are more open-minded people out there than just my family... is never wrong no matter who shares it...well, ok, pedophiles not included. But it shouldn't matter the color of their skin or even their gender...no matter what type of love (except aforementioned pedophiles) real love is never wrong.

WHOO! FURIOUS MING LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!

Yes, I've already told you this, but it never hurts to say again!



I also have THIS come to my head when seeing it:

X3

[DalishRanger]

@SRWill: I would classify pedophilia as a lust-issue, rather than a love-issue, so it wouldn't be in the counting anyway. ;P But thank you.



@Fly: Heh, so you actually did post like you said you would. xD But you already know I saw your post. ;P

[DalishRanger]

Dang, haven't posted in a little while, have I? Replayed KOTOR recently and sort of want to do a fan art of Revan, but I'm not quite in the mood for it. Also tempted to finally play more of my dwarf commoner and maybe do fan art of him, but I'm not sure about that either.

I'm sort of in one of those semi-art blocky moods where I want to draw, but I can't decide what I feel most like drawing. Sigh.

In other news, still unemployed, but on a happier note, flygrl came over yesterday and we went to a nearby mall. I swear, if Leliana were an actual person, Fly shops like her when it comes to clothes. Also, she threw a stress ball at me several times. Meanie. xD

*SNUFFLE SNUFFLE*! X3



I PROMISE, you're such an exaggerator! Though, I'm sure it would have been true if there were actually some good shoes around...Oh well. You KNOW you had fun shopping with me!

Lies and slander. Or libel. Whichever applies to writing.

I love the support adoption pic! Dal wonderful!



I love Ming too!

[DalishRanger]

Oh, hey Giglamesh! Where've you been?

[DalishRanger]

Since I have gotten a few PMs on this now, I felt I should probably post about it here: A few people have been sending requests to draw art for them - their characters, illustrations for their fiction, etc. First off - I'm flattered, truly, I am! However, I feel I should point out I'm still unemployed in terms of a regular job, and the only way I currently make my living is through freelance illustration/graphic and web design. Unless you're a friend, or I announce otherwise on here, I don't really do free requests. However, I DO take commissions if you're willing to pay for them. You can read my price list/details here.

To everyone who's sent me requests: Again, I'm flattered, very much so! I'm touched you enjoyed my art enough to request I do something for you. :happy: But I simply can't afford to draw free art for everybody; it's how I make my living, or try to, at least.

[DalishRanger]

Okay, so... Not actually fan art, but I did paint it (took the entire weekend) and I'm proud of it, so... To heck with it, I'm sharing it here. And who knows - if I feel the compulsion to use this style again soon, I might do some fan art in it. Maybe: Three Rebels.

[TotoroTori]

I really enjoyed the different shadings you have here, the trees look like they could have taken forever at least to me.

[DalishRanger]

The trees actually took a LOT less time than the people; I probably spent maybe 3-4 hours on them. I spent 10+ hours on the Illphi man (one of the far left) alone.

Holy...:blink:yeah he is greatly detailed I realize now

[DalishRanger]

Part of the reason he took so long was because I was getting a feel for a different technique; by the time I got to the other two men, I was fairly adjusted and they only took 3-5 hours apiece.

Portrait of a character I created to play at the RP board Warden's Vigil. He's still pending approval, but I only have one mod or two to give him the green light before I'm able to play him.







His name is Delain, a grumpy Dalish elf living in Orlais. If anyone's curious, his profile is here.

Commission for a friend I did involving Legam and Alistair.





... This is a lot funnier if you've seen Scrubs and my Guy Love animation. xD

[DalishRanger]

Again, been a while since I updated. This one's another commission; Taiyama in the Fade facing off the Sloth demon during the fanfic Rebirth.







I had a lot of fun doing the whole Fade effect here.

[MysteriXOX]

I love that fade effect... very cool

[tallon1982]

Good work yet again ^.^

[DalishRanger]

@MysteriXOX: Thank you, I'm quite happy with it myself.

@Tallon: Heyo! Haven't seen you in a while! Granted, my own posting here has slowed down a lot...

[tallon1982]

I know and I feel bad about not posting stuff up fast enough. RL gets in the way a lot. I've been posting up new chapters when I can and I can see you're doing the same with your artwork

[Apophis2412]

Nice one.
