Title: Don't Call Me Cute

Title: Don't Go
Submitter: Megan
Summary: Brace yourselves, this is one LONG description.
Description: Where to start? Serena and Jenner, in one of the rockier points in their marriage. Jenner's thirst for power is the cause of many problems in the community--their love is but another casualty. Title taken from the Ace of Base song "Don't Turn Around". (Shut up, I like them.)
I wish I could scream out loud
That I love you
I wish I could say to you
Don’t go
*sigh* Yeah. Let's just say I've got a pretty good idea of how Serena is feeling. =P This pic is dedicated to anyone who has ever been through the pain of a breakup.
|
|
Title: My Father's Blade
Submitter: Megan
Description: Hugo from Procyon's "Secret of the Stone". The son of Jenner is holding his father's sword, and looks ready for action. Drawn and then painted in Photoshop.
|
|
Title: By the Sword
Submitter: Megan
Description: My first attempt at illustrating someone else's characters. In this case, Hugo and Christine (Jenner's son and wife, respectively) in Procyon's story, "Secret of the Stone". I hope he is satisfied with the result. Colored Pencil and Photoshop.
|
|
Title: Father and Son
Submitter: Megan
Description: Jenner and his son Paul. Colored pencil with a Photoshop background, as usual. I'm very proud of the way Jenner came out--he's so flippin' hard to draw! :)
|
|
Title: Paul with a Sword
Submitter: Megan
Description: Jenner's son, Paul. I was playing around with a slightly different character design. It's somewhat out of character for Paul to have a sword, period (he's not violent in the least), but maybe someone destroyed his favorite guitar. And, being a child of Jenner, Paul's not going to take that lying down. Colored pencil and Photoshop.
|
|
Title: A Peaceful Moment
Submitter: Megan
Description: Wish I could think of a better title. Oh well. Jenevieve, daughter of Jenner, appears once again in an image colored and shaded in Photoshop. For some reason, I like drawing this character lately. :)
|
|
Title: Until the Seas Run Dry
Submitter: Megan
Description: Jenner and Serena at their wedding. As per usual, it's done in colored pencil, the background done in Photoshop. The lyrics come from the song "Lamb" by Gorecki, which is the single most beautiful love song ever written. These are the particular lyrics I had in mind:
Could we stay right here
Until the end of time
Until the earth stops turning
Gonna love you until the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
|
|
Title: Hey Jenner, want a rematch?
Submitter: Megan
Description: I finally colored an entire image solely in Photoshop. Dedicated to my first cartoon crush and swasher of buckles. :)
|
|
Title: Jeneveive
Submitter: Megan
Description: This pic was really done more for costume/coloring design rather than anything else. Originally, Jenevieve was all-dark, like her father. I like this better, though, and the dress was fun to design. It was also nice to draw a pic where she didn't look PO'd. :) This was done in colored pencil, and background, as always, done in Photoshop.
|
|
Title: April and Cordelia
Submitter: Megan
Description: Meet the lovely sisters Gwyn! Cordelia and April are polar opposities, but they do get along every once in awhile. I was fortunate enough to capture such an event with colored pencil and Photoshop. We may have to wait a few millenia before it happens again. ;)
|
|
Title: Unwritten: Cordelia Gwyn
Submitter: Megan
Description: Well, I finally got around to designing my NIMH MUCK character, Cordelia. She's April's sister, believe it or not, and their differences do not stop at physical appearance. Cordy is bookish and quiet (well, quieter than April, anyway ;)), and aspires to be a writer. Hence the lyrics from Natasha Bedingfield's song, "Unwritten".
Much as I hate doing graphic design for other people, I have to admit it's fun to do on my own. Cordy was rendered in colored pencil, and the background, as always, was done in Photoshop.
|
|
Title: Parting Gift: Justana and Isabella
Submitter: Megan
Description: Two characters from the Otherworld Muck. Justana is Justin's sister, Isabella is his wife. This is my parting gift to Justana's player, before I bugger off for a few days. I hope this meets with her approval.
Once again, my old friends colored pencils, and a Photoshopped background.
|
|
Title: Paul
Submitter: Megan
Description: Paul, Jenner's oldest son from "All's Fair in Love and War", and the old Rat Race RPG. His orignal character design was much closer to Jenner's, but certain aspects had to be softened. (And yes, he is named after Paul Shenar.)
Done in colored pencil, the background done in Photoshop.
|
|
Title: Justin About to Kick Some Tail
Submitter: Megan
Description: An inked sketch of Justin, Swashbuckler Extrordinaire. Hopefully, I'll get around to coloring this one in, possibly even giving it a background. In the meantime...long live the Leader!
|
|
Title: Justin and Isabella
Submitter: Megan
Description: Justin and his mate Isabella, from the "Otherworld" muck. Done in colored pencil, the background done in Photoshop. I haven't worked with colored pencils in a long time, so it's a relief to know I still got it!
|
|
Title: The Eagle and the Dove
Submitter: Megan
Description: Jenner and his wife Serena, in a colorized and retitled version of the "Jenner and Serena" sketch. The title of this picture comes from my favorite line in the "Flying Dreams" song. "You and I/Touch the sky/The eagle and the dove". Done in watercolor and gouache, my favorite medium.
|
|
Title: Jenevieve Hates Mondays
Submitter: Megan
Description: Jenevieve, aka 'Jenny', Jenner's daughter from the old "Rat Race" RPG, looking somewhat dangerous. The armor was especially fun to do, but I am proud of the look on her face. I get the feeling she's not having a good day.
|
|
Title: Serena Explains It All
Submitter: Megan
Description: Serena, Jenner's wife, appears once more in her Council costume. Drew this on the train, but it turned out rather well regardless. In this picture, I imagine her addressing the Council.
|
|
Title: Serena
Submitter: admin
Description: Serena, Jenner's wife from my old fanfic, "All's Fair in Love and War". Later, she went on to appear in the Rat Race RPG. No, that's not Nicodemus' Stone she's wearing...it's kind of a long story. Suffice it to say, she's got her own amulet, though it's not nearly as powerful as the other one. And no, I have no idea what she's so happy about. =D
|
|
Title: Justin Seated
Submitter: admin
Description: The Leader of the Rats himself, sitting and holding his weapon of choice.
|
|
Title: Jenner and Serena
Submitter: admin
Description: Jenner and his wife Serena from "All's Fair In Love and War", in better times. Getting Jenner's expression right and still trying to make it look like him was a pain in the neck. All in all, I'm pleased with this image. I love the idea of trying to reconcile Book! Jenner with Movie!Jenner--i.e., the family man and the ambitious, Machiavellian politician. Erk, I'm rambling again. Sorry. :)
|
|
Title: Isabella
Submitter: admin
Description: The rats' doctor from "All's Fair in Love and War", and Justin's love interest. I was trying to make her look professional, but also let her fun, sassy side come through as well.
|
|
Title: Gabrielle
Submitter: admin
Description: Jenner's little sister from the old Rat Race RPG. Maybe she'll make a comeback in my fan fictions, if I ever get around to writing them. She's named for the "Xena" character (yes, I loved that show, sue me), but the sais were inspired by comic book heroine Elektra. Also, I think they're cool.
|
|
Title: How Do I Look?
Submitter: Megan
Summary: Cordelia and Racso goof around. They're just friends...for now. ;)
Description: Cordelia and Racso goof around. They're just friends...for now. ;) Done in pen and ink. Racso, I promised you this drawing, so here it is. Better late than never! In this pic, Cordy has stolen Racso's beret and is subjecting him to some friendly jibes.
Cordy: Hey look, I'm Racso the White Sheep!
Racso: *thinking* Why do I continue to attract crazy people?
|
|
Title: General Gawain
Submitter: Megan
Summary: General Gawain from the old 'Rat Race' RPG
Description: General Gawain from the old 'Rat Race' RPG. He was the lover of Rhiannon (anybody remember her, from the ancient 'All's Fair in Love and War' story?). He is defined by his sarcasm, inexplicable English accent, and strong magical powers. Hence the orb. Looks like he's taking aim...hopefully at Evil Martin. ;)
Done in pen and ink.
|
|
Title: And Still I Stand
Submitter: Megan
Summary: Jenevieve appears once more, showing signs of a vicious battle.
Description: Jenevieve appears once more, showing signs of a vicious battle. She is bloodied and broken, but she has not given up. And yes, that's Daddy's sword she's holding.
Done in pen and ink, with background/blood done in Photoshop. I may play around with this some more--it seemed like overkill to use one of my typical busy backgrounds for this one.
|
|
Title: Isabella
Submitter: Megan
Summary: Isabella, one of my alts on the MUCK.
Description: Isabella, one of my alts on the MUCK. She's a doctor, largely responsible for patching up the residents of the Valley. Once a somewhat spoiled child with a huge crush on Justin, she's grown up into a mature, capable woman.
|
|
Title: The Wives
Submitter: Megan
Summary: Jenner's wives...well, three of 'em, anyway.
Description: Jenner's wives...three of 'em, anyway. The Trio. The Big Three. Victoria from the MUCK (and 'Leon's Journal'), Christine from "Secret of the Stone", and Serena from "All's Fair in Love and War". Probably wondering where the hell their alimony checks are. (Jenner, you deadbeat!)
|
|
Title: Oh My
Submitter: Megan
Summary: Justin and Isabella's first kiss.
Description: Justin and Isabella's first kiss. As you can see, Justin is taking rather off guard (pun fully intended) by Isabella's unexpected maneuver. Guess they didn't teach that one in Guard Training 101. ;D
*is suddenly hit by unwanted images of Justin and Brutus making out* AAAHHH!!! *scrubs out brain*
Next up: a pic of Isis!

Title: Daddy's Girls
Submitter: Megan
Summary: Jenevieve and big sister Darla, from the Dark Valley RPG board. Late Christmas gift to Liz. :D
Description: Jenevieve and big sister Darla, from the Dark Valley RPG board. Both are daughters of Jenner. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.
Merry Christmas, Liz. :D
|
|
Title: Gabrielle
Submitter: Megan
Summary: Jenner's sister, and my latest alt.
Description: Gabrielle wields her weapons of choice, her sais. Better not cross her path...:D She is Jenner's little sister, after all.
The Japanese symbol in the corner means 'warrior'. Inked by hand and colored in Photoshop. This was a slightly different painting method than I normally use, so it was a bit of an experiment. Success? Failure? You be the judge.
|
|
Title: Kaniel
Submitter: Megan
Description: Kaniel, the ritten-warrior servant of Oren. He's pictured here wielding his weapon of choice, a kusari-fundo. (Or rather, my attempt at drawing one. Basically, it's a fighting chain.) He's also Gabrielle's youngest son.
|
|
Title: Kawaii Jenny
Submitter: Megan
Summary: Uh oh, the cute is on the loose!
Description: Jenevieve appears yet again in an image resulting from way too many repeated anime viewings, hence the sailor dress. The kanji symbol in the upper left means 'kawaii', or 'cute'. Jenny is done in watercolor and caran d'ache, and the background/kanji was done in Photoshop.
|
|
Title: Isabella Taking Aim
Submitter: Megan
Description: Isabella from NIMH Muck, in battle armor. She looks quite PO'd here...I kind of feel sorry for whoever she's taking aim at. Particularly if they're threatening Justin.
Done in colored pencil, with the background done in Photoshop.
|
|
Title: If You Can't Take the Heat...
Submitter: Megan
Description: ...get out of Gabrielle's kitchen! ;) This pic was done in colored pencils, editing and background done in Photoshop.
This pic started off as a random costume design. (Yes, that's what her outfit looks like from the back.)It's an old sketch that I just now got around to coloring. I'm rather pleased with how it turned out.
|
|
Title: Love is the key...
Submitter: Megan
Description: More of my Japanese art obsession, as you can see. This is more graphic-design oriented than most of my pieces. I felt like simpler background was in order.
Anyway, yes, that's Justin and Isabella, enjoying some snuggle time. Colored pencil and Photoshop.
|
|
Title: Protector
Submitter: Megan
Summary: Once, he protected her. Now it's Isabella's turn....
Description: Based on recent events on the MUCK, Justin finds himself responsible for the death of an innocent. His love, Isabella, does her best to comfort and protect him as best she can.
(I'm sorry, I am really bad at summaries...X.x)
|
|
Title: Jenevieve in Black and White
Submitter: Megan
Description: Basically just messing around with ink for this one. I've been reading a lot of 'Rurouni Kenshin' lately, and was struck by the similarties between Jenevieve and Makimachi Misao--mostly between their overall designs. I swear, it's total coincidence, people! XD
Anyways, the background is Photoshopped as per usual. Someday, I will draw a background! "But not now..."
|
|
Title: The Road Ahead
Submitter: Megan
Description: A finished version of 'Lost in Thought', Isabella ponders the choices she's made, and what the future holds for herself and Justin.
Done in watercolor and colored pencil, background done in Photoshop. Because I just can't settle on one medium. XD
|
|
Title: And See How Bright We Shine
Submitter: Megan
Description: Gabrielle and Zohar, at a relaxed moment during their wedding. The title comes from "As Long As You're Mine" from the musical 'Wicked'. (Seemed to fit somehow...XD)
Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine
I hope I got Zohar's look right, Michtam.
|
|
Title: Serena With a Quill
Submitter: Megan
Description: A new costume design for Serena. Haven't drawn her in awhile, so here she is. What do you think?
My New Year's resolution is to put more life in my work. I can't help feeling like my poses are really kind of static.
|
|
Title: Say What?
Submitter: Megan
Description: My first foray into using my new Wacom tablet. I was experimenting with facial expressions, when I came up with this one. Seems Jenny is a bit puzzled about something.
Edit: HEY LOOK! I drew an open muzzle! Go team me!
I just had to gloat over that. XD
|
|
Title: A Chilling Whisper
Submitter: Megan
Description: Inspired by an encounter between Isabella and Raganzi, the rat who has usurped Justin's position--and now, in traditional villain fashion, is going after Justin's girl. o.0 Suffice it to say, she's a bit shocked.
----------------------------------------------
Raganzi chuckles and turns to face Isabella, a smug yet sinister grin upon his muzzle. "My rats are stationed all about through the colony and they're experts at subterfuge. Why.. with just a gesture I can have Justin slain in his cell and any who stand against me. I've been waiting for a chance to avenge Jenner and I've watched the other rats try and fail in their psychopathic escapades." He approaches the frightened Isabella his hand reaching underneath her muzzle, clutching it as he leans in closely, his cheek gliding against hers in an almost snake-like fashion. The cunning rat then speaks into her ear in a chilling whisper. "Now.. I'd suggest you abandon Justin, not for your well-being but HIS own and begin to warm up to the idea of getting to know me."
---------------------------------------------
Done in Corel Essentials 3 and Photoshop. Thanks to Zohar for helping me with the shading! XD

Title: Isabella -- Facial Expression Model Sheet
Submitter: Megan
Description: Total shot in the dark--I've never done a model sheet before, and was nervous as all heck that I wouldn't get it 'right'. I have GOT to stop doing this to myself!
So yeah, here you are. Various facial expressions, courtesy of Isabella.
|
|
Title: Don't Mess With Me
Submitter: Megan
Description: This is the most personal thing I've done so far on this gallery. Generally I don't use my art to express my personal life, but this is an exception.
I drew this when I was in a very "Don't you f*39k with me" mood some time ago. (Actually, I'm pretty much always in this kind of a mood--over the years, as I've gone from doormat to tough ol' broad, my tolerance for BS has dwindled accordingly.)
And yes, that's more or less me as a rattie. However, I do not own a sword. This is probably all for the best, really. Swords should never be owned by people who would actually use them. ;)
And I totally would. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.
|
|
Title: Breaking Dawn
Submitter: Megan
Description: Trying out a new gown design, and this picture is the result. I really like the way this came out. Very moody and dramatic. Done in colored pencil, background in Photoshop.
|
|
Title: Isabella Sketch
Submitter: Megan
Description: I rarely post my sketches on TV, but I liked this one a lot. I was practicing with animated poses, and this was the result. I altered Bella's design a bit--her hair is neater, and she's got a pretty summer dress. =D
She appears to be frightened here, but I'm not sure what of. Or she's belting out an aria. Those can be rather scary, after all.
Yeah. I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was little, can ya tell? ;)
Hopefully I will get around to properly coloring this.

Title: Justin Portrait

Title: Isabella Ink Study
Submitter: Megan
Summary: "Huh?"
Description: Ink study of Isabella in an animated pose. Looks like we caught her in the middle of work, as she's still in her doctor's uniform.

Title: Dr. Benjamin Connor
Submitter: Megan
Description: Matthias' alt, Benjamin Connor. Former Head Surgeon of the colony, he's got a foul mouth and a big heart (though he hates to admit it).
Did this partly as a gift to Matt, and partly to test my design for the colony medical staff. I hope he is pleased. :D
Colored in Photoshop, drawn by hand.
|
|
Title: Gabrielle
Submitter: Megan
Description: Gabrielle...ex-drill sergeant, vengeance-seeking warrior, loving wife and mother....probably one of the more interesting characters I've created. For once, she's without her weapons. That's probably for the best. :D

Apologies for the bad resolution--I promise I'll do a better, colorized version soon.

Title: Passion Play
Submitter: Megan
Summary: We've passed the point of no return...
Description: Isabella and Raganzi, as the Phantom and Christine from "The Phantom of the Opera". The pic was inspired by the 2004 movie version. (I hated it, but it had some pretty good numbers, and this was one of them.)
The song being acted out here is called "The Point of No Return".
|
|
Title: I Do
Submitter: Megan
Description: Justin and Isabella, on their wedding day. The song "Believe" from the musical "The Scarlet Pimpernel" was my inspiration for this one. Done in watercolor and gouache, lightly touched up in Photoshop.
"Believe"
Like stepping on the air so blindly
I trust you will be there to find me
Like reaching through the blue
I place my faith in you
I do believe
These tender hearts of ours
May be endlessly naive
But we grow strong if we believe
This fragile world of ours
Spins us off into the storm
Hold on to me and I'll be warm
As roses bend through breeze, unbend me
As the rose bends to the sun
And in the darkness, please defend me
Two in love become as one
As waves lean on the sea, my love come lean on me
I do believe in you

Title: Dr. Merick Hurtz
Submitter: Megan
Description: May I present to you....Dr. Merick Hurtz. He's quiet, civil, and mild-mannered.
...well, except for that nasty tendency he has to kill his fellow colonists and surgically remove their eyes. Hey, nobody's perfect! (Though Merick thinks he is.)
Done in watercolor and gouache on watercolor paper. I listened to the movie version of the Sweeney Todd soundtrack while painting this, hence the Tim Burtonishness of the whole thing.) I hope Merick's player is pleased. :D
|
|
Title: The Trap Is Set
Submitter: Megan
Description: EDIT:
Isabella as Christine Daae from "The Phantom of the Opera". (I love drawing this outfit, I dunno why...XD.) Consider this the sister piece to "Passion Play".
The title comes from a line just prior to the "Point of No Return" song.
"Passarino - go away, for the trap is set and waits for its prey!"
