Merry (Early) X-Mas!

Merry (Early) Christmas everyone, from myself and the crew of the Pandora 42!

Sorry that this is a little premature; let's just say that I got into the spirit. ;)

Captain Adeline Marzk

Yay, new character! As you have probably guessed from the title of this blog entry, her name is Captain Adeline Marzk.

 

BFF DAY

If only it was BFF Day! Too bad it's not till June 8th...

Valentina explains to Sakia the magic of National Best Friends Forever Day. Sakia is more dismayed about the excessive amounts of pink than anything...

Renfield from Dracula (1931)

My most recent obssession (by the way, "Doctor Who" hasn't been replaced in the slightest, it will always have a place in my science fiction, television-crazed heart), Tod Browning's version of Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi, and the novel by Bram Stoker (I'm still in the process of reading it, though) have been consuming my thoughts lately. While watching the film, I found Dwight Frye's interpration of Renfield fascinating, and he is currently my favorite (though I have not yet encountered his character in the novel), and his performance was spectacular. I find myself muttering insane quotations of him under my breath without being consciously aware of it (yes, I am a little concerned), but then again, I've watched the film three and a half times over the span of the past 3 days or so. Anyways, I took this image of him, and after some editing on Gimp made this:

By the way, I highly recommend the film, especially while listening to the version with Philip Glass' score.  

Character Spotlight: Yixillian Mare

This is my latest character, Yixillian. You may remember a crappy Invader Zim fan character of the same name, which she is based upon.

Same ID, different picture. If you read it, it will make sense.

A little poster I made.

Yixillian in her assassin's uniform. You can compare her to the Invader Zim fan character I made of the same name. Yixillian

Sakia the Defender Character ID's

Salutations everyone (I felt like be fancy for a moment)! In my last post, I introduced my original cartoon characters. Now, in this post, I shall post their ID's in case you're curious. Remember, these are all copyrighted, no stealing, etcetera, etcetera... yeah, you get the point. Anyways, enjoy!

Oh, and I apologize for any gramatical errors, I didn't really edit these very thoroughly...

First and foremost, Sakia, the protagonist.

QiMIGA

Sox

Valentina

Francesca

Isaldia

Sandrin

Simona

Takir

I have more characters, I just haven't gotten around to constructing ID's for them yet. I'll probably post new ones as I make them.

Oh, and the symbols in the top right corners are called "Universal Signatures". The backstory is that these are signatures created by a person at a certain age that can be used anywhere in the Universe (they are saved to a massive shared database). Since they are only symbols indiginous to that particular person, they don't have to be translated into any other languages.

Anyways, hope y'all liked them! :)

My Original Cartoons

Sakia the Defender and these characters/images belong to me, and have been copyrighted. Any unauthorized use of these images is forbidden. If you would like to use any of these images, please contact me by posting a comment in this thread, and I will post a follow-up comment. Thank you for understanding.

A poster I made with some of my characters.

All right, I got bored, so I made my own little alien character (the one in the middle of the poster) a few months ago. She may look a little bit like a weird Irken because of the eyes, but she isn't.

First ever sketch.

First computer sketch. (stick around, they get better, at least in my opinion)

Another early sketch; the second one to be exact.

Second computer sketch. Okay, so this picture turned out a little bit less proportionate than the first one, but since then, I have changed her head so that it is a little round, like this picture; it's just easier to draw.

My favorite picture of her yet! The line art turned out super clean, the coloring and shading, if I do say so myself, is wonderful (I have changed my methods of coloring since the first two computer pictures of her, and now use separate layers), and the pose totally suits her (though, I must say that it does resemble Zim's pose in this picture [which I didn't make]). I sort of ditched the hood for this picture, and maybe I'll just do away with it completely. And yes, Sakia is her name; you steal and no soup for you! But, really, stealing isn't cool.

Sakia in her huuuuuuummmaaaaaaan form. Yeah, I only changed up the colors a little bit.

Another human form picture, though it didn't turn out great. Oh well, that's what practice is for.

A montage of some of my characters. Yay, I have a scanner now! (I posted these images out of order, which is why some of them were taken with my iPod and are blurry).

Another montage (for a larger view, please click on it).

From left to right: Sakia, Isaldia, Sandrin, QiMIGA, Valentina, Sox, Simona, and Francesca.

Ha ha ha...

Sakia as a teenager.

Sakia when she was a kid.

Epic pose. The right eye is lobsided, though. I fixed it, but haven't gotten around to re-scanning it.

Another epic pose.

Computer drawn.

Same picture, different lighting, and with a title and my signature (hint: look in the top left corner).

Another recycled pose.

Different outfits of Sakia.

Some facial expressions (sorry if they're hard to see).

My first sketch of Sox, another, slightly eccentric character. She wants a hug! XD

Mitania (yet another character), with her steampunk backpack wings, which I stole from this character of mine, saving Sakia from falling to her death.  Mitania's hair looks a little bit like the hair of this "Invader Zim" character (the one in the back behind Zim, that is).

My first picture of QiMIGA (her name is an acronym). Her face is shaped a little different now, as you can observe in this next picture. I really dislike this picture... XD

QiMIGA giving Sakia the death stare (they kind of don't get along). Oh, and she's an android (which is why her eyes are red; they're LED lights).

And the original sketch.

Sakia's older sister, Simona, with whom she does not get along.

Sketch.

Me as a Qi (the name of the alien race).

Valentina, who is, if you haven't already guessed, a huuuman. Oh, and her outfit sort of looks like that of Kes from "Star Trek: Voyager". I suppose that her personality does resemble Kes' a little as well.

Another character, Takir, who is almost the only male character of mine.
