A picture!

Why not. It's been a long time since I've drawn something that I liked enough to use as a desktop image. ;p (Although there were some LoL comics and such that I drew in 2012-2013 which I liked, but never posted here, and weren't desktop dimensions..)

In League of Legends, one of my favourite characters, Janna, has a skin named Tempest Janna. In Heroes of the Storm, which came out much more recently, Jaina Proudmoore has a skin based on the Tempest Regalia set in World of Warcraft, named Tempest Regalia Jaina, which I'd frequently call Tempest Jaina. Jaina was my best character in HotS too, so it's a wonderful coincidence.

League of Legends

I haven't posted here in so long! Even though I've actually been drawing again in 2012 and 2013... mostly after I started playing League of Legends at the beginning of 2012. I'm not sure why but frequently when I see an art contest in the forums or Riot (the game's developers) holds a comic contest, I've been tempted to enter...

I kinda find it odd that I got so into the game. I've been playing WoW since it was released in 2004 and I think I've drawn fewer pieces of finished fanart of that than in one year of playing LoL.

Oh well. Hrm. Come to think of it, as the majority of my pictures try to be humourous, they probably won't make sense to people who don't play the game... so does anyone still read this blog and play LoL? =p

Non-default Mikus

Its been a while! I'm still drawing sometimes, but recently I haven't liked anything enough to finish or post it. This is another one of those, but I felt like posting something for once. I did them standalone to see if I could do left- and right-facing poses without mirroring... I did ok from that perspective but you can see that the face style kept changing, and it put me off colouring it. Its fun to just doodle Miku though.

Evil Mirakurun

Been busy coding a flash game, so I haven't had time to draw much.  But if I don't draw I won't improve, so here's a quick random sketch of evil Mirakurun (Chinatsu-chan) from Yura Yuri I did for practice.  I still can't draw straight lines on the tablet very well.. I might clean it up and color it later, but I should really finish my MHP3 lancer first >.>

MHP3 Lancer

Continuing with my MHP3 binge.  I'll probably do at least one sketch for each weapon type.  Here's the one minute rough sketch with a mouse in paint.  She looks kinda SD, maybe I'll do her in SD style for fun.  Although I should probably try to keep my style consistent if I want to improve.. Better version after dinner!

Trying to swap to Gimp since apparently Paint Tool Sai isn't free and shuts down in 31 days (29 now!).  Having to learn the new interface sucked but I think I understand it now.  Took a while thou =p.  Also lance armor is pretty complicated so it took me a bit to get it sketched out in a way that I liked.  The Alateron lance itself was also annoying, trying to get those spikes to look right.  But anyway heres the completed rough sketch.  

Well it took a while but I finished coloring the armor.  Now its just the lance itself.  I also changed a bunch of the proportions around and cleaned it up some more.  Almost done now!

Leia armour?

No relation to the Star Wars princess.

In the Japanese games, Rathian is called Rioreia, which is further shortened to just Reia.

Another old drawing that I was finishing up...

MHP3 Jhen Bow Set

"Rough" version of my Jhen Bow Set lol.  MS Paint with a crappy mouse and 2 minutes during lunch break.  I'll clean it up and do a real version after dinner.

Cleaned version with armor details.  Wow Jhen armor is more complicated than I remember..

 

Decided to go with the gold ian bow cause I think it looks the best/most bow-like, and ditched the cat.

Here's the finished drawing!  Might add the cat back in later.  I know you are all in awe of how awesome that cat is. 

Huzzah for the Air Brush Tool!  Definitely gonna be using that more often. XD  Reposted as a png instead of a jpeg so less blurry this time. Background info: Helm is Load Up Piercing, chest, gloves, legs, and waste are all high rank Jhen.  I drew it with the Gold Rathian Bow.  Gives Focus, Load Up, Pierce Shot Up, and Reckless Abandon +3 (with a + RA charm).
