Welcome to Illustrative Ariven.
This site is intended to be a somewhat chaotic repository for some of my creative works. Mostly sketches and graphics, but I may branch out for other areas as they interest me.
This is a trial drawing I did while playing with some ideas for a new look for her website. She decided it didn't quite fit with the theme she wanted, that and I forgot that what she wanted wasn't related to pegasii. Ah well, it means I get to post it here sooner. Check it out here.
This is a headshot sketch of Corwin, Megan and Becklyn (in that order). They are characters for a project I am experimenting with, with a friend. If all goes well, there will be more of these three. :) You can see another variation of Becklyn here, and some variations of Megan here. These three are archetypes of characters that have been with me for years. In fact, Becklyn and Corwin are the first two dungeons and dragons characters I made, years and years ago back in the old version one rule set. Beck was a priest and Corwin was a fighter. Megan came into existance a few years later, and has been figuring more prominantly in my role playing games i participate in than the other two have been... but they are all still part of me. In fact, I have a decent sized group of characters that needs to see the light a little more and I hope to get them in sketch form here.
Well, so far so good on the site.
I have a layout that I kinda like.. using my own art as the centerpiece.. maybe I will change the background image from time to time to liven it up.
But, so far everything is going swimmingly on the site.
I hope to use the site as a place to drop in some art as I make it, in various media... I got some more art supplies for christmas, so I will be playing with them as I get more time.
I am still having fun learning more about digital creation though, so I will probably do most of my work in photoshop with the wacom tablet.
