#30 well known enemy

| November 30, 2010 | 0 Comments

Honestly, I think everyone had to deal with this lady during the last 30 days.  The muse of having no idea or not being able to bring your Ideas to the paper. Since I had no Idea for the last character I scribbled this one, because  for me she looks like this.  Not interesting enough to draw, blocking your thoughts and grinning at you about this all the time.

Anyway, finished ^^.

I really enjoyed the time here and I’m looking forward to next year.

Wishing you all a nice christmastime ; )

Monsers for the online game “Königreich der Welten”.

May look cute, but they only appear in groups and their grin can be really annoying

Human form of  Hemera. A great gymnast and high school student

#13 Hemera

| November 28, 2010 | 2 Comments

Inspired by a RPG, personification of the  day and the dawning. Actually, because of the RPG I’m very interested in greek mythology at the moment, especially the orcus and its inhabitants.

So, as allready said, this is Hemera, the day herself and only one of the many siblings of  Charon, the ferryman of the death people. Hemera seems to be the black sheep of her family since her brothers and sisters are almost all conected to death, pain and darkness. Her mother is Nyx, the night. Hemera stays in her own chamber at the orcus during the night, which has two doors, one to the orcus and one to the world of men. As soon she leaves the last door a new day is dawning.

She is quite popular with the other gods and  a real gossip girl. No wonder, because she knows about everything happening under the sunlight. Most of the time she acts kind and friendly, but she can also be very touchy, especially according to her family.  She often argues with her mother because Hemera is staying outside the orcus very often to long and Nyx started to lock the door of her chamber at a certain time so Hemera couldn’t go back without asking her younger brother Charon to take her over the river Styx.  When he once intendet to tell their mother his older sister became so angry that she told every god about the tussle of Charon and Heracles (Heracles did win, of course and was one of the very few mortals who did cross the river Styx as living people).

I’m not so happy about the colors. I tried to copy a dawning but it doesn’t look how I did imagine it.

Ah, the flower is a daisy.

#12 Binky

| November 27, 2010 | 0 Comments

Last one for today, it is *Death_Reaper*’s horse.

At the song “Flandern in distress” the reaper has a black horse to escort soldiers and a white horse, pure and shining like an angel from the sky. So the game designers had an idea for giving a feature to reaper’s horse and also to make a little fun of it; at one side Binky is white, at the other he is black and has white eyes.

Since he is only an accesory to *Death_Reaper* he has no real personality but it is said, that Binky has a great sense of humor and the game designers are already thinking about knew features for him.

The name is from a friend who once told me, that in his oppinion the reapers white horse has the name Binky. Well, why not, if you cross out the B you get the word ‘inky’ which fits perfectly the black horse ^^

And I have to thank my friend Asutar for showing me how to draw a horse. Binky looked horrible before

#11 *Death-Reaper*

| November 27, 2010 | 0 Comments

Another admin of the online game “Königreich der Welten”.

He represents the death and at the beginning of the game ist was his duty to delete users who wanted to quit or did not attemp for a certain period of time. Those wo decided to quit he took to a ride at his horse to travel all arround the game one last time and everyone colud notice who did leave.

Later, when more and more users joined the game and some tried to cheat the game masters decided to introduce two new death-admins, so they would be able to ‘deal’ with the cheaters. Since there was now a trio there were also some changes.

The power of  *Death_Reaper* was reduced and he isn’t able to hear any longer. This is because one concept of the trio is “Don’t see, don’t hear, don’t speak”. The other one is an old german song called “Flandern in distress” whre the grim reaper is described as riding a black and a white horse, dancing with the girls and drumming at your heart. For this reason *Death_Reaper* has a horse. By the way, the horse isn’t that big, the admin is quite small.

Since that day “Death_Reaper* is always grim and in a bad mood and if he did not have to he wouldn’t attemp to the special game events he and his colleagues have to appear.

That’s all about him.

#10 Veit

| November 27, 2010 | 0 Comments

Another character from “Königreich der Welten”.

This is Veit, a fourteen year old boy and one of the three managers of the youth center. To be exact, the manager of a little cafe which takes place one secific day every week and where all youth can meet to play, talk and to order pizza from Veit and his two friends.

Veit has the gift of the gab and seems to have never ending energy, at least if he doesn’t have to do something. He does a lot of sports like hockey and volleyball but somehow he seems to have a tough luck at these hobbys because he tends to break his right hand very often(as you can also see at the picture). He doesn’t matter about that and is happy to be unable to write at school.

As already said, Veit is full of energy as long as he doesn’t have to do something. He might be one of the managers of the cafe but in fact he refuses to do anything. He doesn’t react to orders and his two teammates have to do most of the work. But somehow no one, except this two,  is angry with Veit because of that.

Nevertheless he is a boy everyone could rely on if the worst comes to the worst.

Thanks to Sam for helping me to fix his pose somehow

#9 Jenny

| November 27, 2010 | 0 Comments

Hi there.

Finally, I continue this chalange ^^°

Okay, the girl you can see is Jenny, another, this time rather minor, character of  “Königreich der Welten”.

She is about 14 years old and has just joined the youth group Martina is also a member of. Jenny is a bit shy at first but she can be cheeky and does not hesitate when her help is needed. The boys of the group often make fun of her but in fact almost everyone does like her. Since she is new at the youth group she doesn’t have a T-Shirt yet, but she wears a group ribbon of her first action at this group.

Jenny tries to join the online game “Königreich der Welten” but when she finally finds a group to join she has to quit very soon because she has less time because of the school.

She always wears a lot of clothes at once due to the fact she tends to be chilled through very easily.

#8 Candledemon

| November 8, 2010 | 1 Comment

I really wandet to color this at the PC…but man, I have a headache, so no coloring today. I’m glad I’ve finished this little guy so far at all.

Maybe Sam remembers the day when everybody at the workshop was trying to create a firedemon, well I’ve drawn a draft of this little creature and today I tried to work on this.

As its name says it is a candleflamedemon, yet still small and cute. These creatures are quite vivid, moving all the time and so curious, that they have to touch everything close to them.  This characteristic trait makes it quite easy to catch one of these demons; you just have to use a match, as seen above.

As soon as you start to feed a candledemon it will grow and become a firedemon. At this stage it is able to have more than two arms, now searching for something to eat. If you don’t take care it will be spoilt soon, growing more and more and becoming less controllable but really greedy.

I will try to upload the firedemon soon.

See you tomorrow.

#7 Siena Silver

| November 7, 2010 | 3 Comments

Yeah, I survived one week ^^

This girl is Lady Siena Silver, a RPGcharacter of mine.  She refuses to speak since the age of 4 when she listened to an argument of her parents on a rather minor matter. She recognized how much words can hurt and decided to rather stay mute than hurt anybody else.

Since Siena is the only heir to the crown of a once powerfull and now again rising kingdom this causes a lot of problems. Also her parents are worried about her, not knowing why she does not speak.

Besides this Siena is a charming, curious girl, popular with most of the people. She enjoys playing in the huge garden and listening to people singing.

Once again I do like the draft more than the colored version…

Ciao, till tomorrow

#6 *Somnia*

| November 6, 2010 | 0 Comments

Today only  a pencil drawing because I’m still unsure  about the colors.

Okay, this is *Somnia*, another admin of my story, just like crowN. Somnia travels as a fortune-teller through the game, testing the other players from time to time by asking for small favors. If the players act appropiate *Somnia* has the power to forfill one wish of them like upgrades, pets and so on. But if not *Somnia* can become a real nightmare (by the way her name means “reverie/dream”).

Because Somnia’s eyes are closed most of the time many think she is blind an do not take her seriously. She only open her eyes while being very happy or very angry.

Her admin headdress represents the so called “third-eye” and can change it’s color due to Somnia’s emotions. Her  moon accessoieres  show her connection to magic.

Unlike crowN she is not able to transform into an animal but her skin is white as his.

The user of *Somnia* is a friend of Martina but doesn’t tell her because the last admin who did tell his real name soon had a lot of problems with gamers who wanted to influence him.

As allrady said I’m not sure about Somnia’s colors yet. I will need some time to try out.

See you tomorrow

#5 David

| November 5, 2010 | 2 Comments

Another character from “Königreich der Welten”, his name is David and he is a classmember of  Martina.

Allways on the fly and being one of the better students David doesn’t seem to be the guy for online games but when listening to Martina talking to a friend about the new game he asks her if he could join her group. Very soon everyone can notice that David is only in a hurry because he does play a lot of those games but the others don’t mind at first, because David turns out to be very well informed about everything in the game. This isn’t bad. -Or is it?

Actually yes, because he becomes a powergamer who doesn’t play for fun but to win and the other members of the group start to lose theit fun either. When David starts to  argue and to insult groupmembers they decide to leave the game. He doesn’t care because so he is able to keep the’ group’ the way he wants.

David tends to be a bit clumsy and a loner.

I had his character allready a long time in mind but never knew how to draw him. I didn’t want him to look like a typicall nerd but I’m not sure if he doesn’t look to normal now…

I fear his hands are to small

Ciao, till tomorrow

#4 Guardian Angel Armiga

| November 4, 2010 | 3 Comments

Just a quick drawing cause I’m in a hurry…

This is quite personal and usually I don’t draw angels

Her name is Armiga which is latin and means “shield bearer”. I’ve drawn her for the pupils at my former school because during the last four years, every year a pupil died. Two were hit by a train, one died because of cancer and these days a girl was hit by a truck.

Armiga has two pairs of wings so she is quite fast and with her ears she can hear secret wishes of the pupils.  Her dress is orange bcause this is the color of my former school . I had some problems to scan her, because I’ve drawn her at aquarellpaper, so I’m sorry about the scanning edges

I just wanted to draw someone like her. Maybe it helps, no one knows

See you tomorrow

#3 crowN

| November 3, 2010 | 0 Comments

“Evil? I prefer chaotic-neutral.”

I’m a bit disappointed about how this came out. To be honest, I do like the first sketch better. Especially his eyes. And I fail at drawing birds

I had a few technically problems like a break down of the drawingprogramm. Of course at an almost finish.

But, well… this charming guy is crowN, an admin of “Königreich der Welten”.

He is able to turn into a crow and this way he is able to observe gamers without being noticed by them. He meets Martina this way and he asks her to become also an admin but she refuses.

crowN is no evil character, but he enjoys his power.

His outfit is based on a special crow, the hooded crow (corvus corone cornix). His skin is white.

The nickname crwoN represents on the one hand his ability to turn into a crow on the other hand the typically headdress of the admins.

He has caused me a lot of trouble but I like him.

Have a nice day,

Ciao, till tomorrow

#2 Chester the pocketdragon

| November 2, 2010 | 8 Comments

Today I’ d like to introduce Chester the pocketdragon to you. He belongs also to “Königreich der Welten” where he is the pet of  Martina’s friend Fabian at the online game.

I was inspired by a beautifull picture of a Varanus salvator cumingi Martin.

As allready said Chester is a pocketdragon. A pocketdragon is at Germany a common in-time name for a pocket lighter at Live RPGs. So, I thought, why not take the name more seriously?

Chester was given to Fabian by a NPC when he decided to become an alchemist at the online game “Königreich der Welten”.The little dragon is sleeping most of the time inside a pocket of Fabian and is happy to help his owner whenever he is able to. As soon as Fabian gives a dragonstone to Chester he will grow and become more powerfull. The red sign you can see at the picture is at Chester’s belly and tells everyone that he belongs to Fabian and is able to breath fire.

The sign symbolizes a flame and a fox because at the game Fabian calls himself  Ruben Vulpes, which means as much as “Red Fox”

I quite like the little Chester and hope some of you will too.

Ciao, till tomorrow

#1 Martina

| November 1, 2010 | 4 Comments

Um…hi there.

The Girl at the picture is Martina, a maincharacter of “Königreich der Welten” (“Kingdom of the worlds”),a story I’ve been working at for  a while.

Which means, I’ve got the story but no images or details of the characters, except two game avatars.

But now the description;

Martina is a vivid, happy girl who is working at a local youth group in her freetime (left picture). Being one of only a few girls she knows how to handle boys and enjoys to work with them together. Unfortunately most of the boys and she herself could not even think of becoming more than friends.

At the age of sixteen she had blessing in disguise because she caught the swine flu but as we know most of the time this flu turned out to be quiet harmless.

Nevertheless Martina wasn’t allowed to leave her home for at least two weaks.

To help her to fight her boredom her friend Fabian sent her an invitation for the online RPG “Königreich der Welten” which Martina happily accepted.

But soon she had  to notice that beneath fun there is a lot more at online games…

Well, this is all about Martina. I hope some of you like her.

Ciao, till tomorrow
