Dom - Character Sheet
Erg! Dom did not want to be drawn. I’m tired of looking at his character sheet since I tried so many times to fix things, so this is the best one he’s getting. :/ One of Intrepid’s side characters. Dom used to be one of the main characters, but he kinda got downgraded when Liah and Shae got upgraded to main characters. That makes me sad, since Dom is a beautiful boy and has...

Earth Species to Evolve - Replies
@Ghost
Creating giant rocket powered turtles would probably mean that I would have a Japanese company bombing my house for infringing on their copyrights. :/
Lemurs or other primates are always a possibility for an evolutionary change… though I’m probably going to avoid making them sentients. I don’t want to have a Planet of the Apes ripoff. :p

Earth Species to Evolve?
Unless you’ve been paying NO attention to my postings, you should know that most species in the Azure Wheel universe have evolved from earth species. Over the 500,000 years after the human settlers died out, they evolved into various critters.
So… I’m wondering… are there any earth species out there that you’d like to see me turn into evolved alien critters?

Charred Forest Lizards - Rough Sketch
The very beginnings of a rough sketch that was SUPPOSED to be my Halloween picture. I’m probably not going to finish it or even do a halloween picture because I’d lost interest in working on it and I’d never be able to get it done before tomorrow. This weekend has been a horrible one since nobody could leave me the f*&$ alone! >:(
I’ll probably do a picture...

You should do a parody of them in Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin costumes, lol.
LOL. Yeahhhh…. why could I just see Shae in the white sheet with a hundred holes in it that Charlie Brown was wearing…

It’s almost Halloween and I’d like to do a Halloween type picture.
I’m torn between dressing some of the boys in costumes or a bloody gory pic featuring a species of alien animal critter that parilyzes it’s prey, hangs them from trees and lays eggs in their body. The babies eat the poor victim from the inside out while still conscious. I’ve been wanting to get this...

The Bubbleyum Planet...
Named because the colors remind me of the cotton candy bubble gum I used to buy as a kid. In any case, it looks like some sort of candy…. I wouldn’t try to eat it, tho… I know I said no more space art for a while but I was stressed out and making space art does relax me. I love doing it! And gas giants are probably my favorite type of planet to paint. And it has...

Deep in their Studies
Two young Ibirians study hard to gain their status as priestess. More reference material for the Ibirian species. This one is mostly meant to illustrate their homeworld… in particular, the grasslands outside of the Temple of The Sun. Of course, Ibirius has more topographical features then this… but the entire planet does have a pastel color palette with an almost shimmery feel...

Schadenfreude Thursdays pt8*
animalsbeingdicks:
Amy learned a very valuable lesson about cats. They don’t get mad, they get even. *Schadenfreude Thursdays is a departure from the normal ABD fare. We feature posts where humans are dicks and the animals get them back, and we laugh at their misfortune.
LOL…. I don’t normally reblog these, but this one almost had me falling off the chair because I was laughing...

Zhaulia - The High Priestess
Character sheet for Zhaulia, high priestess of the Ibiaar religion. She is not a main character for the Intrepid storyline, so she’s not getting a huge character sheet. Her design is here because I do plan on making the Ibirian species an open species soon, so people who wish to create one will know what the Ibirian leader looks like. Ibirius is theocracy, the government is headed by...

Suggestions for Pictures?
I’ve been doing way too many serious pictures and concepts lately and need to do something fun before I go totally crazy. Does anyone have any suggestions for what you’d like to see some of the Intrepid characters doing in a picture?
Canon, non-canon. Almost anything goes except for porn, extreme fetish or slash.

Vescyr System - Star Map
I know I said that I was gone for the night… but I did complete it this morning and wanted to share.
Last space art for a little bit. I promise. I need to concentrate more on other things for a little bit. Map of the Vescyr system, the star system that houses Ibirius. It is a binary system (twin suns). It’s more resources for the upcoming information about the Ibirian species. A...

Two Aspiring Priestesses - Very Rough WIP
This is as bare minimum rough as my sketches get. I’m not even done with the initial underlaying sketch. Even that needs a ton of work before I think it’s acceptable but tonight I just can’t physically go on working. I know if I don’t stop what I’m doing then some of my friends (and my husband) will start yelling at me to get off the computer. LOL.

Argh!
Curse my body… it’s way too physically AND emotionally frail and doesn’t handle stress well at all.
I’ve been pulling long work days the last four days trying to get art stuff done and trying to study for tomorrow’s French test.
My French class is ridiculous. My native French speaking husband constantly complains on how ill conceived the class is. How do they...

Ibirius - Planetary Map
More cartography. Ibirius isn’t a main planet in my story, but I’m developing it anyways since I’m planning on making it them an open species.

The Old Mum (Ultimare Spacescape)
“The Old Mum” is the nickname that Ultimarians lovingly call their homeworld. This is just a quick spacescape that I did to illustrate their homeworld for a little side project from my comic. I don’t want to say what said project is, yet… since it will be a while before it’s finished and I’d like to release it along side of the comic. Ultimare is nestled...

This was a lot of fun to do.

Grouch...
I don’t really miss much about my time living in Quebec.
However, one of the few things that I do miss from there is poutine. It is basically french fries covered in gravy and topped with cheese… sounds weird but it a surprisingly awesome and addicting combination. I am a gormet cook and HATE most fast food with a passion, but would walk down to McDonalds at least once a week and...

I’ve been in a bit of a “cutesy” mood today. Must be all the sugar I’ve eaten…
I’ve been getting the urge to do some cute cuddly/snuggly pics of Shae and Liah together. They’re kindred spirits and friends (Possibly some form of soulmates) rather then lovers, but I can still see them being very affectionate and cuddly towards each other…. even...

Random Thoughts About Clothing...
I wish to give all my boys a “unique look” with their clothing… and it’s proving to be very difficult. they’re soldiers in the military and SHOULD have a dress code otherwise the Ultimarian military would end up looking like a unit from GI Joe.
I don’t imagine that the dress code would by extremely strict when they’re on the station or other military...

Himnare - The Emperor of Ultimare
Character sheet for Himnare Zemothe, the Ultimarian emperor. He’s an interesting character in my mind… born the fifth child out of six, he was never expected to take the Emperor’s throne. I’d eventually like to do a mini series about him, but I don’t think I’ll ever get about to it.

Beta Readers Needed!
EDIT: Please be advised that this comic contains themes of graphic violence and war as well as cursing. I won’t lie… it gets REALLY dark at some points. If you are sensitive to these things, please think long and hard before attempting to sign up.
Even though I speculate that the release of the Intrepid comics are still about a year away, I’m starting to write the scripts...

Finally! Been wondering what they things looked like. At first I just sort of had the placeholder in my head of “Tusken Raiders…in space!” for lack of a better description.
@LoTekGhost - Yeah… Othoth are pretty much oversized space newts. The originally looked A LOT different then this. I had to change the design because they had a funky head crest that reminded me too much like...

Othoth - First Pass Sketches
First pass sketches for the redesign of the Othoth species. Wowww… this species sure has changed a lot since I first created them. They were due for a new look as I thought they were a little goofy looking.
These are the species that attacked and slaughtered the Ultimarians without warning or provocation. This is a good time to stress that Othoth are not an evil race. Before the war,...

A Few Notes On Emperor Himnare...
He’s a very interesting character. At least I think so. It’s a shame that he doesn’t have a bigger part in Intrepid’s main story. I might have to add him to my list of characters that will maybe get their own mini series… eventually.
But here are a few random thoughts on him.
* First of all, it is an Ultimarian tradition be run by a member of the Imperial...

Dom - Quick Character Concept
Quick concept of Dom. He’s one of my older characters and his design has not changed much since I first drew him on paper. I tried making him a little slimmer… but I don’t think I like it. I’ll have to beef him back up before his final sheet.
He is a very pretty boy with gold eyes and golden tattoos.

The Comics Code... LOL..
I stumbled upon this while browsing today. It was the code implimented back in the 1950s that all comics had to adhere to. I’ve already known about all this, but I’m posting it in case any of my watchers have never seen it and want a little chuckle.
Needless to say, Intrepid would have been screewwwwwed back then as at one point or another in the story line it will contain at least...

Tattoos
I was doing some doodles for potential tattoo designs for Dom when it dawned on me that most of my boys have elegant tattooing in one form or another. Some of them even have rather extensive tattooing…
Aredon has his full back tattoo…
Shayne will have rather extensive tattooing on his torso…
Even Shae has a small one on his shoulder.
I know that tattoos are commonplace in...

Random Aredon Doodles
Silly random character study doodles of Aredon. He’s a lot more reserved as Shae… so he’s not nearly as big of an attntion whore. But Ared needs love too!

A Few Notes on Rahst...
Ashley Lee is right… Tumblr makes a good notepad.
Okay, so John and I were talking about Rahst the other day. Rahst has been the character that has baffled me since day one… writing a good hero is easy, but making a believable and memorable villain is very difficult.
A few notes on him…

Dom's Dreads - Doodles
I’ve always played around with different dreadlock styles for Dom. I’ve never come up with anything that I like better then his original hairstyle, so I should probably stop trying - lol.
He’s an older character of mine… and is a very pretty boy. A dark skinned Ultimarian with gold colored eyes and tattoos.

Nazari - Character Sheet
Argh! Trying to finish her character sheet was worse then trying to do the backstroke through an olympic sized pool of maple syrup. >:( I’m really not happy with this character sheet… but I’ve redone it so many times and I’m tired of fighting with it, so this is the best reference sheet that Nazari is getting. :/
Ah well… Nazari is a side character anyways.

Planet Concept design for Ibirius, the homeworld of a race of humanoid vulpines known as the Ibirians. I love doing space art… it’s so relaxing.

I decided to start with Iberius since I am currently...

Tidbits about the Azure Wheel Galaxy
* The Azure Wheel Galaxy is about 75,000 light years in diameter, which is about 3/4 the size of the Milky Way.
* It is only 680 light years thick.
* There are approximately 200 billion stars in the galaxy… give or take a few billion.
* Only a very, very small fraction of those stars have planets capable of supporting life.
* With current space travel technology, it takes about 1-3...

A reference sheet for my first character for Hetherev, an art community on DeviantArt. I wanted to go for a Azure Wheel species for my first character there.

She is named after a cool sounding...

Imperial Navy Ranks
This is something I’ve been working on for a while. A complete ranking system for the Imperial Navy. I’ve been doing a lot of research with US military ranks to use as base. The final ranking system is a cross between the Army and Marines with a little bit of Air Force peppered in.
One thing that one of my friends brought to my attention is the fact that both Aredon and Rahst did...

For the most part, I’m not big into the superhero genre.
