I never really checked out your art before, but I think this stuff is pretty neat! :)

I really like the animal character. It looks kind of like a manticore/horse hybrid.

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Now that you mention it, Adahy does look similiar to a manticore/horse creature. When I designed him, I wanted to give him a dragon/tiger/scorpion look. But fantasy creatures don't know any limit, so there are big chances he looks similiar to them. ^^

Yea...it kinda does actually...

Nevertheless, it's spectacular.

Thanks, man! :D

I toy with the idea of a "The Priestess 2" after the first comicbook is done. But Force Of The Machines will probably be the second comic before there might be a The Priestess 2 at all.

The Priestess 2 will show a reptile-ish species that admired the power of mankind and wanted to be just like humans. So they started speaking their language (with a really funny accent), wear clothes, stand on the back-legs,... and the most important thing, they created a religion to believe in.

Because of their religion, they consider it to be precious to have no eyes, to be blind forever. So they'd cut out the eyes of their children as soon as they hatch.

Sounds sick? No matter what I do, my stories are never stranger than reality.


This was inspired by female genital mutilation , and will also be the subtitles of The Priestess 2 . There are too less stories told about taboo-topics. I don't know why. It's probably part of the taboo-supports, else these cruel things wouldn't continue just like that.

Here's a little info about female genitial mutalition:

Numbers of girls getting mutilated in a year: 2'000'000!
Now let's all count to two millions and imagine different girl faces, different lives, different hearts, and different screams during the mutilating with every number.
1...2...3...4...5...

Numbers of mutilated women and girls in the world, in the meantime: 130'000'000!
Hmm......1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8...

Shit, that's a really big number, you know! No matter what these happy people tell you with "Females are not THAT oppressed, so relax!"

I can't relax. And I won't.


Please treat your wifes, female friends, and female relatives just as good as if they'd be males.

And if not, burn in hell.

Oh, here's a little important thing about this character design here to tell. The female reptile-creatures don't have any boobs, since they're reptiles and no mammals. (Another reason why they'll never be sexy.)
The right one that holds up the baby to get its eyes cut out is the mother of the baby too.

Obviously, these creatures seem to be totally fine with their religion. The kids, which won't remember how it is like to see, are happy with being blind too. It's the belief they grew up with ("Hey, Johnny! Today's finally the day of getting your eyes cut out!" "Yay!"), so they believe it's precious to be blind too. It's that easy!

The hard thing is to change their belief.

For the record I WAS talking about western cultures :(, shithead religiously infused with horrendously bigoted ideology do treat women like a sub species and are vile and disgusting. I do not dispute this.

Also you have awesome ideas, and I like the elephant but you already knew that right? :p

Alf Shall Rise 05-18-2008 06:47 PM

That's creepy in a way, in a really good way. It looks like some dinosaur in robes. (Raptor Jesus?!) Incredible though, really incredible.

Hulaabeo 05-21-2008 02:34 PM

Prekash is the the little saber's name? PLEASE LET HIM LIVE!!!

Prakash is the the little saber's name? PLEASE LET HIM LIVE!!!

Yep, that's the saber.
I don't plan to draw more pages since this was only a commission bought by someone whose one of his characters is Prakash. But he also told me that the story I drew ended up as a nightmare of Prakash's, so he didn't really die. :)

Hulaabeo 05-21-2008 04:59 PM

Oh sorry but the comic was so good

Matriar 05-23-2008 04:55 AM

No need to feel sorry about it. :)

--

This is a drawing of a friend I colored, because he asked me to do it.

Here's the story behind this character.


"Once there was little girl named Pan. When she was born, her parents were horrified to discover that she had two horns growing out of her head. Believing her to be a demon, they abandoned her in the jungle, chained to an egg. When the egg hatched, Acho (this character) was born. The chain that once bound her to the egg now bound her to the creature, and her parents had intended for Acho to eat her once he had grown large enough.

Things went differently, however, as Pan was able to tame Acho with her music playing, and the two have formed a close bond (both figuratively and literally, due to the chain). She communicates to him with solely her music, and he is fiercely protective of her"

Yeah, sorry. The girl and the chain is missing here.

Wings of Fire 05-23-2008 07:37 AM

Oh wow :) Acho is so adorable. He has so much character in those cute eyes of his.

OddYouko 05-23-2008 07:17 PM

Acho looks so cool!
Great work. =3

abe is now! 05-24-2008 05:21 AM

It's cool, I love it :fuzgrin:!!! It's a fabulous character!!! Well done :D!!! I think it's the best monster you have ever drawn!!!

Moosh da Outlaw 05-24-2008 05:31 AM

Aww. *huggles*
He looks so squishy~!

Alf Shall Rise 05-24-2008 07:41 AM

That creature is so awesome it's unbelievably unbelievable. I love it. You also got a pretty neat story going on.

AlienMagi 05-29-2008 05:48 AM

Hmm what happned to the comic?
Did that Sabre or whatever it is die?

skillyaslig 05-29-2008 10:25 PM

Very wonderful work! Well done, ya!

I forgot to mention that the credits for story and character design go to the friend I drew this for. Not me. ^^

The comic was a 5-paged commission someone had bought from me. Yes, he died. But my costumers also said that this story I drew ends up to be a dream of Prakash's (which is the saber).

Thank you very much! :D

Okay, fanart about video game characters this time!

If you know about Super Mario and Legend of Zelda, this joke will make more sense. ;)

I swore I would never make a comment about someone's artwork consisting entirely of love hearts but I am sorely tempted to break that rule.

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

It is now my desktop :D and I think it's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time, right down to Zelda and Peach's expression.

OddYouko 06-03-2008 06:29 AM

:lol: :laugh: That's hilarious! Ha ha Peach(don't like her one bit)
Poor Zelda! More please! :D

abe is now! 06-05-2008 06:44 AM

EDIT: It's bossed the right word :fuzconf: ?

Okay, this picture I drew here was third prize for someone on Deviantart.com who won an art contest I made. The third prize was free art with two characters of choice. She chose her own characters. The left one is Kifoor, and the right one is Solder.

And she liked this picture too. :)

OddYouko 06-11-2008 05:04 PM

Awesome! Cool characters!
They both look so cool! xP

Alf Shall Rise 06-11-2008 05:10 PM

Ha, they look cute. The darker one has a cool get up. Awesome job.

I made a comic this time, but the file is too big to upload here. So I'll link it:

(GloomyUnderwoods is my username on Deviantart.com, by the way.)

Matriar 07-01-2008 06:43 PM

New art thingy!

Practiced drawing backgrounds. And rain. And added random characters.

Feel free to come up with a story to this picture. :)

OddYouko 07-01-2008 07:25 PM

OMG!! I love the comic one! ♥ :D
I wanna hug him...O__o' nevermind.

I like the second picture too. Really creepy. :p

Wings of Fire 07-01-2008 07:48 PM

The moulting cat/rat angel is now called Francis while evil kinevil glowy eye weasel boy is Seren.

One day while travelling to the city of Panajuki Francis accidentally ventures out of the high canopy forest, ignoring all warnings he received from his clan of catrat angels, to take a perceived shortcut through the shining meadow. He soon finds out, however, that the meadows are a bad place to be for catrat angels as clouds gather up thick on the horizon and start excreting rain, acidic from the meddling of the dograt angels with their new fangled technomancy, Francis' body explodes with pain as his wings start dissolving before his eyes (or rather behind them, but hey), now fearing for his life Francis picks up his pace and starts looking through these barren meadows for shelter.

Meanwhile Seren is one very unhappy awesome looking weasel dude as his scavenging bought up nout again today and his battleaxe of a wife sent him out hunting in the itchy rain. While shivering and cursing his bad luck he espies a vulnerable and succulent looking morsel of the Rodus Angellus family who, due in no small part to the acid rain which Seren feels as itches thanks to his adaptive coat, looks a little worse for wear. Seren's eyes seem to gleam in the moonlight as he sizes up his prey...

There's your story :p, tl;dr I like it. The background is lovely...in a morbid way.

For some reason, some of the sentences made me chuckle. Such as:

And thanks for the compliment too!

Wow, great rain effects in that last picture! ^^ Lolz, one of them has pink eye....

Alf Shall Rise 07-05-2008 04:58 PM

Fantastic, the weird black one's expression is just pure gold, not to mention the winged one looks spaced out. :P

The rain effects are really interesting, it brings a gloomy and depressing feeling to the picture.

This picture is a wallpaper-sized fanart about characters of a friend. Acho and Pan. Pan's the girl.

Here's the story:

When Pan was born, her parents were horrified to discover that she had two horns growing out of her head. Believing her to be a demon, they abandoned her in the jungle, chained to an egg. When the egg hatched, Acho was born. The chain that once bound her to the egg now bound her to the creature, and her parents had intended for Acho to eat her once he had grown large enough.

Things went differently, however, as Pan was able to tame Acho with her music playing, and the two have formed a close bond (both figuratively and literally, due to the chain). She communicates to him with solely her music, and he is fiercely protective of her.

Don't pay attention to those, I only need to design something on another site and needed a host. ^^

Alf Shall Rise 07-21-2008 09:46 AM

New picture, finally!
Actually, this one is a very old sketch I found.

I learned a hell lot of new things while working for it...
Now I'm frustrated and happy at the same time.

Badly need chocolate now. :<


Oh yeah, and I added some WIP to that too.

skillyaslig 07-26-2008 04:52 PM

Ooo, very nice!! Just love the design of the big furry beastie, with all the white bands

OddYouko 07-27-2008 07:01 PM

That's so awesome Matriar! I wish I could edit my drawings and put up backgrounds with them! :)
Great work even though it's an old pic.
