Broooomiiiiiide. Specifically, Hikaru bromide #1. In context, it’s actually a “photo” that Commander Ezelton snapped minutes after Hikaru was given her Lord Knight rank (and Lord Knight armor changed a little bit between M.E. 2004 and 2006, so the tabard is a little different).

This is also the first time drawing a couple of Hikaru’s fellow soldier-doods– Valhalla (original player: pigeonguided) and Argus (OP: tehkev). Not seen but also among Hikaru’s bros-in-arms are Myconis (OP: aethereall) who is Valhalla’s twin brother, and Tarin (OP: LF). Oh yes. I totally went alt-diving for this. :P

It’s, like… if RT had Facebook, this bromide would totally get posted on there. XD One of those “dood, check it, our ’sis’ just became a Lord Knight :D” things. Naturally, there is booze involved.

I’ma go get some cocoa crispies before the new episode of Law and Order SVU starts. Omnomnom.

I salute my fangirl shorts, internet! Not only is this gift art for the man for his birthday, but this was also an excuse to let my fandom fly considering that they are all either my favorite lead characters or damned near close to it. (In the case of Alex and Cecil, they were even among my favorites before being made moreso by the LOL-enthal. :P) Why else would I call this Party For Me? XD

My favorite part about this, though… FACE-PULLING. You know Luke and Asch would have totally been making with the face-pulling and lots of yelling. XD; Also I’m still stupidly fixated on Luke’s Berserker costume title so I had to use it here. It’s just that awesome. :(

I was going to stick Haseo in Xth form but Asch’s armor was already stupidly detailed and Haseo’s Xth form outfit is even moreso and by the time I got to that point during the line art I was all “screw that, I’m just doing first form, it’s the lesser of four evils.” That and it’s Haseo’s most recognizable form anyway, so…

Alex and Cecil = BROS FOREVER. “Dood next door” heroes represent! :D

Yeah, this has been tweeted out. I await the fallout of lulz that will ensue… because I just couldn’t leave well enough alone after that Pancakealypse thing. In the meantime, I junk out on Lunar.

WIPs: wire, line art: Yuri, Cornelius, Death Grunty, line art: Gig, Luke, Asch, line art: everyone else + kitty!

Dear internet, I am not being a naughty Instant Ramen artist and working on something awesome without as much as posting WIPs on the blog.

…pay no attention to that open Painter window with an open PSD file inside… >_>;;;

(Totally lying through my teeth here. I have my reasons! Some of you are privy to what I’m cooking up, though– and would certainly know not to leak, ESPECIALLY on the twitter machine… *eyes neophoenixte* Playing Lunar may have derailed me JUUUUUST a tad, but I finished the line art on this secret ramen that is FULL OF WIN a few minutes ago and I hope to have this thing colored and posted by tomorrow evening. Taking a break and posting this non-hint while I nom on dinner.)

♥, Yoshi

Nothing more to say here. Fullview this sucker, doods!

Previously-posted WIPs: wire + Hikaru ink, rear ink, full ink, character color

Wondering if I should go for glory and just stay up until I finish…?
It wouldn’t take much longer to do the background/etc, I was painting pretty much all day (started after making that last post, actually), I stopped to screencap when Craig Ferguson started and because this seemed like an appropriate point to get a WIP shot before I do background/final touchups.
I wonder if I should stick a bleeding Crimson Cross on Lord Numair’s forehead? o_o;

…bah, I’ll do it tomorrow… er, later today. You get the idea.

also LOL @ mother, who saw this when she brought up dinner and thought Lord Numair was one of Robert’s WoW characters. XD; Bro doesn’t have any redheads, for one thing. He’s got a Death Knight (and Lord Numair’s Death Maximillian looks like something a Death Knight would wear) but dood is most definitely NOT a dragon.

“He looks dead.”
- “He IS dead. Dead and STILL has a deathwish!”
“Like… ‘put me out of my misery’ kind of dead?”
- “Yes! :D”

XD
