Most of these are at least a year old, if not older. I draw and sketch all sorts of weird things, but I’m mostly fond of my tribal designs. I’m not very good at drawing people, but you might see improvement in the later pictures. I’m going to mark my “favorites” with a (*). Sephiroth kills AerisEderrugLanguid HonorSurrealJonouchi and Celeste (*) I drew this piece several years ago and a friend of mine used PhotoShop to color it in. Maurdeen in SadnessFour-Eyed RuebenGreat Bird SuiteSemi-Tribal WyvernCatch a Sky DragonArk’s ’06 X-Mas Present (*) Faust’s ’06 X-Mas Present (*) Vetis’s ’06 X-Mas Present (Stellar Wolf) (*) Scream of the Butterflies (*) A moment ago……A second later. (*) Yet to be EmancipatedaLiEnZ!Doctored: Hymne a L’Amour (*) It couldn’t fit in the scanner, so I took a series of pictures instead. It looks much better as one whole. Inspired by “Hymne A L’Amour” sung by Josh Groban. Lady of the Lake (colorless) (*) If I get bored enough, I might color this in someday. BooharpspreyBlue-footed Boobie, Harpy Eagle, and Osprey hybrid. Masked CrowFairy Archer (*) I may not like how awkward it looks, but I like the picture still. Noble StagNoble Stag – FrontCrows Nevermore (*) At the Cliff by the Sea (*) Lamppost LadyNovacaine’s MenagerieNovacaine’s gang insignia. Solar War Goddess (*) May require viewer discretion, but the image is meant to show a divine spirit and quite simply that. I might ink and color this if I’m bored enough. Inspired by “Love Dance” from Cirque du Soleil’s “Ka”. X Summoning (*) Meant for some sort of insignia, particularly XIN related, but it looked too much like a Final Fantasy logo. When I get the time to, I’ll post up some more new artwork.

I'm no artist at all, so I can't really give you any constructive criticism.
What I can say however is that I love the tribal style that you use in many of your works. If I had to pick a few favourites I'd say.
Ark’s ’06 X-Mas Present Solar War Goddess
two excellent pieces of art in my opinion. Keep up the good work.

Work on the proportions. Other than that, they're pretty good.
I know who you are now....

When you’re studying your eyeballs out at home for finals, yet can’t fall asleep during class, you keep yourself awake by sketching and inking tattoos. I just did names that popped into my head. It’s official. I like short names and I had WAY too much fun doing Zeniro’s… Even though it’s not quite tribal and my sister thinks it’s more “groovy” than awesome. Names starting with the letter “K” annoy me sometimes. Hardly anyone could see the letters in some of the names… I love drawing birds, dragons, clouds, and fire along with lightning. Tattoo – LiamTattoo – SeigeTattoo – KiraTattoo - KvistTattoo – ZeniroTattoo – PainAnd other stuff during my boredom… Diamond-BackCute, huh? Sketch – Circus OutfitSketch – Male Anatomy PracticeViewer Discretion Advised? It’s technically not nudity unless the naughty bits are showing… Which there aren’t…

I have to say that all your artwork is gorgeous but I LOVE your marker zoo. It has to be the funnest thing I've ever seen! Definitely keep up the good work. Me, I just need to practice practice practice, and get myself a tablet. Then I'll be all good.

I <3 you.

They were all really God damn cool. I liked Liam's, A LOT. It was just harder than others to find the letters and such you know? Zeniro's was also my favorite. It just had that "indian" look- like something that of Incans, or Mayans. Pain's was really unique, more so to the fact that it was vertical rather than horizontal. Um... for an interesting effect, try "shading" a little through the lines, probably giving it that graffiti look, or just to make it look interesting in general. Or, try photoshopping merely to experiment.
Sorry. Can't help toward the anatomy thing. But. I can say- go to the Lifepoint1 forums and ask around. A lot of talented artists around, and, there are those that will post a link to tutorials and even their experiences trying to nail something down. You'll like the forums.

*drools* Do an Ein or a Gilsin (preferably Gilsin) and it will likely actually find it's way to my flesh.
Pretty pretty please!

I must grin at the Chibi Sir Squawk-A-Lot (Leon) and Chibi Shamu. =D They're cuuuuute. (And rather amusing.)
The Marker Zoo is just...adorable, in a squishy-cute kinda way. <3 I've had it on my desktop for the last few days (and Liam complains in good humour that it's "fucking technicoloured and it hurts my eyes").
I like the tattoo. ^____^ Liam's blacking out the spaces to see how it would look (potential actual tattoo ^^).
I still wanna colour that Lamppost Lady picture. Maybe I'll do it soon. =D (Along with all the rest)
Good work, can't wait to see more...! =D~

You know, that sketch of Leon as a chibi is absolutely amazing Valencia. Really, I think you drew him more accurately as a chibi than I could ever imagine a full scale drawing of him. And he rants! I love it! xD What also caught my eye was this tattoo idea of yours. Definite points for that. It's just a plain unique idea, and it makes me seriously ask for my own, Leon or myself, no matter what. I felt the need to comment; it's just so eye catching.

He looks like a nazi.
That may just be me, though.
...unless that was Valencia's intention..

(Before I forget to post this again...) In a sense, they didn't turn out the way I wanted them to, but they still looked alright to me... In spite of me getting a li'l carried away during my boredom while I was still in school. Tattoo - LeonTattoo - Gilsin(These are much easier to do if the letters are the same "shape", like long letters, round letters, and curvy letters, etcetera...)

These remind me of those trick pictures that used to be so popular, where there's a picture within a picture.
Besides that, what I REALLY mean to say is, these are wicked-cool. Good job.

I love it!!!
The chibi Tiao is so adorable, I'd almost regret hitting his face!!! ;D
And is it just me, or do I see a Chocobo in the variety of animals in the marker zoo?

I can't believe I missed that tattoo for two weeks... good thing Ein's on top of things.
Pretty sweet looking tattoo there Valencia. I appreciate it; if I ever felt the desire for a tattoo, I actually think having that would be a great one. A pouncing Wolf.
Thanks again, and keep it up!
