Mortar, Seiron, Rori and Lukas Head Comparison


Just felt like drawing a side view of my main snouted characters: Mortar (top left), Rori (top right), Seiron (bottom left) and Lukas (bottom right). I wanted to draw their profile views side-by-side to compare their snout and head structures, to make sure none of them look too much alike. One day I'll do a more detailed comparison sheet on how each of their heads and bodies are structured, since they all also have different body types.

Armand Emotive Sketches and a Gift for Tracy

This was a gift for Tracy, as a get well soon present! The little guy is a child version of her character, Veil. The dragon is really just a very dragon-like gargoyle of mine, Seiron. Seiron is huge and powerful, but tender at heart.


And these are some attempts at sketching Armand, the main villain of Fate Saga. He's normally known for his ever-present 'sinister' expression, and he is capable of having more than one expression. XD

Armand Sketches

Armand, the main villain of Fate Saga. For all of his main villain-ness, I hardly ever draw him. Armand is a scientist, and nothing and no one is safe from his experimentations.

Character Test Sketches and RP Sketches

Under his boot, on his left foot Cyrus wears an anklet that was given to him by his older brother when he was a boy. It is Cyrus' most cherished possession. In this sketch, he is passing that tradition by hand-making an anklet and giving it to Rish, who he sees as a little brother.


Character test sketches of Rori. I'm playing around mildly with her design, and am going to try and streamline it a bit for animation. Ultimately, I'm going to take one of her sketches and turn it into a colored illustration for the pitch package. I'm wondering if I should make her more slender/effeminate and I need to play around with her fur, to see where I can smooth it while still giving the impression that she's fluffy.


From the RP, it's the Taffeta family playing Mad Libs. One of the lines says something silly about Gemini, and Cyrus is greatly entertained by word play.


Character test sketches of Larkspur. Her design is already done for the pitch package, but she's also going to get some simple model sheets since she's an animated character in the pilot. Also, for the sake of her voice acting, I wanted to sketch out some examples of her quirkiness and emotions.

Character test sketches of Bianca. She's still being designed, which is why her drawings don't all look the same. Here are some tests for what her face could look like and what her outfit might look like.

RP Sketches

You would think I would get tired of sketching scenes from my RP with Jess and Tracy.

Drax and Cotton

"Ready for some ice cream, kiddo?"

On "Discount Tuesdays", Drax treats her...to free kiddy ice cream at a local ice cream shop. Drax is a cheapskate.


At one point, the little girl gets lost. Drax is squatting in the crowd, trying to spot her through the legs of the pedestrians.


"Aren't we adorable? Now come buy some lemonade."

Drax is my character and Cotton is Tracy's. They have a relationship similar to Charlie and Anna-Marie from All Dogs Go to Heaven. He uses her cuteness to sell lemonade.

Taffetas RP Sketches

Some Taffetas enjoy their morning flight more than others.

Larkspur WWE CAW Entrance


This would be in character...if Larkspur had no idea she was walking into the ring to fight. Maybe she thinks she's there to sing? ...and wearing elbow and knee pads just in case.

Soul Calibur 4: Cain Versus Cyrus Character Selection


I made Cain and Cyrus in Soul Calibur 4. Most of the footage I took with them is too big to upload onto Blogspot but this is one that's small enough to fit.

I am a nerd. :D

My Characters as Wrestlers

I am such a nerd.





Cyrus and Val, and Gem and Drax and Seiron

Gemini crying into Drax's tie.


There's a lot of crying in this post.


Here we go, that's better.


Can't say I ever thought Cyrus would get a girl in any RP, but I really like how their story works in the RP. They know each other for like...15 years before they start getting romantic. That's why Cyrus looks old in this picture. He's like...40.

The Taffetas - Cyrus' Origin Story According To Gemini





Cyrus and Licorice





Taffetas RP Prompt - Had to Do Over

These sketches are based off of the prompt: What would happen if one of your characters was suddenly reverted back to the child version of themselves (both physically and mentally). They wouldn't have any of their memories of when they were an adult and it'd basically be like starting over. Since they all come from dramatic, dark pasts...some of them benefit quite a bit from this prompt.



Cyrus had he been raised by Veil and Gemini. Apparently...he would become a bit of a wimp since he'd have no reason to fight. And he'd be a fashion designer since he likes sewing and he would be better trained in Veil's sense of fashion. He would probably also enjoy designing costumes since Gemini loves to play pretend.

If Veil became a child again, Seiron would take the opportunity to raise him as his own. I found it so cute that Veil would try to be like a little gargoyle, I just had to draw a comic of it.

Seiron with lil' Veil. And Veil with lil' Cyrus. Both of them had the roughest childhoods so the prompt had the greatest effect on them.

Lil' Cyrus would still be as gender-confused as his older self (with the exception that Lil' Cyrus would eventually grow to understand the difference)

The Taffetas

These are sketches from my RP with Jess and Tracy. These sketches just depict the norm--er--average day of their lives.

Somehow, putting three of our darkest, most sinister characters together creates...complete and total fluff.

An average day with Veil and Cyrus would include Veil and Cyrus working quietly together in Veil's study - Veil writing his newest book and Cyrus sewing.


Veil goes to Cyrus for critiques and Cyrus points out possible holes in Veil's plot.


Seiron and Jess' character Cook going out for a flight.


Veil (Tracy's character) and Cyrus playing pirates. Gemini (Jess' character) loves playing pirates and always tries to get them to do it. But if someone's being more annoying than she is, she gets annoyed. lol. So she's reading a book while they have their fun.


When the Taffetas have dinner with the Stratas...things quickly get ugly.
