An RP character of mine, "Akane Katsuragi". She was used in some Final Fantasy VII alternate universe RP's at the Final Fantasy VII Citadel.

A picture of a catgirl. Originally a sketch in OpenCanvas, this was colored at request of friends.

This picture has been redrawn in 2005.

Tarale giving a big, happy "V". YAY!

An Australian Surf Lifesaver.

Original sketch on paper, coloring and linework done in OpenCanvas.

I was feeling angry one day.

Digital artwork, drawn in openCanvas. Had lots of fun with the dark, scratchy scribbly lines. Was rather Evangelion / FLCL inspired.

A picture of Tarale with a big, big easter egg!

Mmm... chocolate.

A self portrait. Was trying to draw myself lookin' all happy in some new clothes I'd bought.

Drawn, "inked" and colored in openCanvas.

Tarale in a Kimono. I had fun drawing the little carrot pattern.

openCanvas.

Chalosan's Kate. A little chibi version of the character. I love the detail I put into the kimono, it was so much fun to draw.

Drawn, "inked" and colored in openCanvas.

A picture of one of my old RP characters, Akane Katsuragi. A redrawing of an old picture I sketched in 2001. I tried to work on anatomy and stuff a bit more. I never finished the original, but you can see a comparison between the two artworks if you like, and a detail comparison too.

Original drawing sketched pencil on paper, scanned into Adobe Photoshop and colored in Photoshop, sometime 2001.
New drawing sketched in openCanvas, inked and colored in openCanvas.

Redraw of an older picture done in 2003. This whole picture was drawn in OpenCanvas.

A picture of Tarale I've done with the intentions of using it a site layout. Drawn in OpenCanvas.

Chalosan's character, Kate. Kate is a samurai, and although that side of her is now in the past, I thought it might be fun to draw some of that past.

One of the darker pictures I've done, this was quite a challenge for me to color. I'm happy with how it turned out though :)

A second Tarale pic I've drawn with the intention of possibly using it in a site layout at some point. :)

I wanted to work with bold lines and simple colors :)

Drawn in openCanvas.

Catharsis: 1 a) purification or purgation of the emotions (as pity and fear) primarily through art
1 b) a purification or purgation that brings about spiritual renewal or release from tension
2 elimination of a complex by bringing it to consciousness and affording it expression

I have been having some difficult times again. Most the time I try to stay cheerful, but it is difficult sometimes. This picture allowed me to express some of the feelings I hide, and otherwise do not allow myself to feel.

I feel much better for having "afforded it expression".

... that and the shopping spree at IKEA helped a bit :D

An experiment with color, and playing about with sky.

I felt like working with lots of golden shades...

Not exactly a highly "polished' piece of artwork. I like its roughness though.
