Even Keel - Blog Posts
Okay. So it’s been almost forever since I posted any art. Not gonna lie, this year has kind of sucked. BUT. I started drawing the other day and something magical happened. It didn’t suck. You just gotta roll with it when it takes you and you might get something nice out of it. : )
Shiva is doing the best he can being a Spider, a glorified gang-leader. But he’s not very good at it. For the longest time his younger sister was his only Fly. It isn’t until Lio shows up that he finds someone that seems almost too good to be true. Lio belongs to a hermaphroditic species from the southern cities. What their business is in snowy Miroslav remains to be seen.
So I’ve sorta had these laying around since last summer. I found them again by accident and decided, what the hey! I’ll throw ‘em on tumblr!
As far as I can remember these were just for the sake of animating. The backgrounds are leftovers from an old Even Keel point and click thing I made. Flash ate the quality, so sorry about that.
Cyan waiting for the train, ready to give up his old life in favor of the new.
Some sketches from December. Blame the Sims. Always blame the Sims.
I’m coloring sketches I did last month.
Miel is so caught up in protecting his secrets that he can’t fathom people genuinely wanting to help him.
“They finally reached a turn that broke the pattern of the city. A well-worn dirt road circled up to a set of stables on a hill. The sight of them, even in the dark, was welcoming.”
P.S.
I think my favorite thing right now is writing Cyan stumbling through conversations and trying to make it look like no big deal.The poor guy has the social graces of a rock.
The Even Keel height chart is back! :D
The young Eminent Minh and the captain of his personal guard.
I gathered some sketches from the past months and finally scanned them. (It’s the only thing my printer is good for now, but let’s not get into that here.)
Top batch is Even Keel, bottom is Star & Lionhearts / Fantasy Kai’J.
I’m redoing the interactive height chart for Even Keel. :) Everyone looks so much better than they did two years ago. This is just a small sample of what is to come!
Reblogging for the update.
I was supposed to be working on other things but I fixed this up a bit instead.
It looks like somebody’s got quagga on the brain.
In other words, before and after. I found this drawing from February and I really wanted to share it... then I looked at the sketch underneath it...
Although this picture has nothing to do with today, Happy Thanksgiving anyway!
I drew some Even Keel people.
Valli is a Kosalan pirate, though he doesn't agree with all of his people's "habits".
Shiva is Shiva, rather unamused at his vicinity to the aforementioned pirate.
Cyan is modeling his new outfit.
Srirne is one of the serpent people from the south and acts as an ambassador to outside cultures.
And Hestia is an opportunistic Good Samaritan.
I think that's all.
Assassin in the night.
Miel with a Fire Emblem-inspired outfit.
