Night Elf Warlock

Note: You may want to look up World of Warcraft or read some of my other posts to know what it is. Because I do a lot of fan art of this game. (in case you don't know what it is) 

For those people who see this by some chance, and go "Oh my, she put a class with a race that doesn't even have warlocks, THAT is not correct lore, where do I even begin on how wrong this is". First off, this is just a "I wish Blizzard would do this"... kind of painting. Just because Night Elves have Death Knights, why not Warlocks? in a way it would be interesting to see that. I would love to play a Night Elf warlock. 
Lore wise, well it wouldn't make sense given the whole demon hunter stories etc. But, still, the idea sounds awesome. 

Of course I did a couple of other paintings of this in the process, but I plan to do something that is a bit more detailed and less sloppy. Which I should have planned it out more, but decided to show it on here anyway. 

As you can see here, I have the purple and green look for the warlock type look (demonology colors) and two minions in the background. Succubus (left) and Void Walker (right). now of course, I plan on perfecting this with marker since I am running close on Water Color paper. 
As for her style in the middle, it's not much of anything that is good in terms of armor, but it shows enough to say that it is a warlock and not just a night elf wearing skull armor. 

I plan on adding a bit more to this eventually in Photoshop CC and hopefully make it a bit more obvious that it is a warlock fan art type and not something that is just a slap of paint on a canvas/paper. 

I also included yellow eyes that I plan to work with later and green lips. 


Again, this is on Water Color paper with tube water color paints.

The Girl Who Loves Horror & Horrible Reviews

Since it is the month of October, and it's getting around that time when all Halloween fans (myself included) look for a decent scary movie to watch or a nice horror/thriller book to read. Well, on one of my days at school while waiting for the teacher to enter the room, I discovered a blog site called "The Girl Who Loves Horror". Of course, most of it isn't just Horror movies but also books as well. Which I find to be very interesting, given that I enjoy looking at both. Anyway, this blogger reviews horror movies and books and gives a basic summery (similar to Fangoria Magazine) about random picks from different times. Currently, she has a post for a review on the movie "Creepy Crawlies" made in the year 2000.  A movie about a man who goes on a vacation due to his alcoholism caused by a recent divorce that caused him to have problems at work. Soon his vacation turns into a nightmare when he finds out that the island is infested with a rare cockroach that kills people. It's kind of funny, since if anyone is like myself, I can't stand cockroaches, despite the fact they really don't do anything to you, except look gross.

Horrible Reviews
This was something that I have always known about for at least a year, and will say that it is a good page to look at if you are going to watch any interesting horror movie on Halloween and you want something that is going to be good.

Despite it's name, Horrible Reviews is a YouTube channel created by a guy from the Netherlands who is pretty awesome. He gives reviews on Horror movies that are everything from mild to I-wish-I-didn't-just-watch-that-clip-because-I-will-never-be-able-to-sleep-or-eat-again kind of movies. He also gives a list of his personal favorites which includes the funny movie Napoleon Dynamite and a few westerns with Clint Eastwood in it.

I'm still not quite sure why it's called "Horrible" Reviews, since they are very good, granted some of the films shown are horrible and just, shocking really, but it is a good place to find a good horror movie to watch on Halloween when trick-or-treaters are not at your door.

Minecraft: Creative Mode

What is it?
Minecraft is a game that was created by a Swedish programer named Markus Notch, later made popular by a swedish company known as Mojong and currently owned by Microsoft. The object of the game is that you are a blocky character that roams in a blocky universe, and you need to survive here by collecting items for building materials and kill creatures/animals around you in order to survive. It is also a place were aside from building with blocks to create your own imaginary world, a place to hide from creatures of the night that lurk in the shadows such as witches, zombies, spiders and much more. 

Live Versions of the Game
There are live versions with in the game, where when connected to the internet, one can join a group of people and play games such as mega walls. A really fun game where you join a team in a color group of ether red, blue, green or yellow and compete against one another to destroy what is called a team's Wither. (That's the best way I can explain this). 

Creative Mode & Survival Mode
A lot of people do not know what to think of this game, and often question its blocky appearance and its sometimes faded coloring. But I can honestly say myself, that it is a creative game that challenges the mind to create things out of blocks. Basically a virtual version of the popular Legos. 
In this part, I just wanted to mention the Creative VS the Survival modes. 

In the game, a player is able to choose whether he/she wants to play in Survival Mode or Creative Mode. Survival mode, allows the player to mine resources or chop down resources in order to build shelter and then hunt random animals for food and more resources such as leather and wool to craft certain things like a bed or armor. Creative mode allows the player to be able to have unlimited resources and basically be creative in building whatever he/she wants to. (You also have the ability to "fly" around basically, by pressing the space bar twice) 

The images shown below are examples of a place that I myself have built in Minecraft. Basically a decent sized castle place with a large skull floating above. 




Minecraft is available for both PC and Mac, and you can download it from their website by clicking this link here. It costs about $20.00 to download (purchase). 


Fan Art & Purple Haired Lady

Just got a new thing of marker paper, which I decided to add in here the latest two pieces. The first one is a fan art of the Undercity. Which is a place ruled by the Undead in the game World of Warcraft. Obviously, this looks like more of a child's version of the area, but it does have a unique charm to it that I felt like showing.



The next piece that I am showing is a bit more interesting, and was a Mary Doodles inspired piece. It's called the Purple Haired Lady.  This went along with Green Haired Lady, and was a random test as well for my new Prisma colored marker, Violet.

Sketchbook 2015 Part 2

These are my latest sketches in my Decomposition notebook or Composition notebook, and the reason I am using this, is because it has nice thick pages, and I can also use it as a diary at the same time for events and planning. Below each image is a description about the image above it and what has been done to each part of that image. 


Front Cover of the Decomposition Book 
Few modifications done to the front. 



First Flap inside of the decomposition notebook. Practically changed the whole thing by taking a nice sheet of marker paper and pasted in using Elmer's Glue. Created a series of sketches of the Undercity from World of Warcraft. Scourge symbol, also from World of Warcraft is drawn on the bottom left hand side. Would have drawn a map of Icecrown Citadel if I could find it. Probably will on the final flap. 


NOTE: I was going to put in another sketch but for some reason it wouldn't show so I will have to try again later -_- wonderful...
