Information
Don't mind me/this section. This site's still Katie's, but since she made me, what was it? "V.P." to this site since I'd "hooked it up" for her, I thought I'd save myself trouble and put all of MY artwork onto it (so I won't have to make my own site, and since this IS an artwork site LoL).So, please feel free to browse my, Ellie's (a.k.a. Sokai) artwork that I'd done over the years, as well as fanart from others for some of my stories. And if you'd like to use it for any means (i.e. your OWN website or what have you), I'm flattered, but I'd prefer that you do not . . .
Oh, and no, I did not draw that "Magna Carta" picture I've used as my banner -- although I could -- but I did do everything else to it, graphic/effect-wise.)
My Finished Artwork Display
I'd never bothered to do any more details to the top picture (i.e. shading, proper detailing, etc) cuz I got lazy. LoL
For this one right here, I'll admit it. I've never exactly had much patience when it came to adding color to my drawings. Not that I cannot, I just never cared to over the years. LoL So I instead just added the color to Sitara and how she looks (her "disguise") throughout the beginning of my "Requiem for a Dream" story by using my computer. Got lazy with that too, so yeah. It shows. LoL But it's okay because it's only a copy and not my original drawing, so that's still in tact and how you see it in the first pic. Yay.
Anyway, again, I'd used the computer to add the color to her cuz I'm lazy, and as a result it too came out sucky. Oh, well. LoL
I am a flawless expert when it comes to eyes, so I am a bit "grred" by how hers had come out in this, but oh well. They're supposed to look dull. LoL
My Finished Fanartwork Display
Ahh . . . and here is my art contest entry that snagged me 2nd place out of 25 entries two winters ago, Faye Valentine from "Cowboy Bebop." It was difficult to part with it (this was before I'd begged them to let me have it back after the contest was over LoL), because this is one of my all-time favorite drawings I've done while out of my single-digit years, but, not to sound cocky, I'd also known that it would impress those who went to see it. ^_^
While I was positive I wasn't going to win first place, I'd never thought that I'd earn 2nd place. So, needless to say I was super surprised. *Dances* Go, me. LoL
LOVE her eyes . . . I love doing eyes, did I mention? LoL
I love this drawing of Radical Edward and Data Dog, Ein, also from "Cowboy Bebop." ^_^ Then again, I do love the series, period, but yeah. I was going to enter this into the art contest instead, but I'd found my Faye one more "dynamic" and "eye-catching." Obviously the judges agreed. LoL Again, I love the eyes, cuz I rock at it . . . but Ein's right eye (your left) STILL bothers me to this day . . . Oh, well.
Isn't he gorgeous? Well, I think so, especially his different colored eyes, that (and yes, I know he's not real, as so many of my friends love to remind me, but so what? He's still cute to look at LoL). ^_^ But, anyhow, yet another "Cowboy Bebop" character, the main one, Spike Spiegel. This is another one of my most favorite of drawings I've done overall, especially because it'd come out so well.
Do we notice the difference in eye color even though it's in black and white? I do. LoL Look hard enough. ^_^
Aww . . . poor Spike, stuck with the awesome Ein, whom he hates. ^_^ I really like this drawing, because it's so adorable, and it'd come out well too. ^_^
Okay. So this is probably number one, my most prized and favorite of drawings I've done overall. Why? Two reasons: 1, because it'd come out so well, better than I ever thought that it would when first going into it (and thus, at the time -- 2002 -- showing the "first signs" of my improvement as an "artist"); and 2, Final Fantasy VII's my favorite of the game series -- and so too is my beloved Aeris as a character. ^_~ Fave feature on this one is, of course, always the eyes.
It's my other favorite picture of Aeris I'd drawn a year later (not exact year later, but year later LoL).
Personally, I'm very proud of the hair, and of course, the eyes. Can't help that I apparently have an "eye fetish." LoL It's just my fave feature to draw on characters, and I'm good at it.
Isn't it/"he" so adorable? I love these little . . . er, giant birds, the chocobos (well, except the ones in Final Fantasy 12, methinks. Well, anyway, those guys are evil, so yeah. hehe)! ^_^ This one's from Final Fantasy VIII. He/It's so fluffy; let's pet him LoL ^_^
This would be one of several fan requested drawings (of my work), from one who loved Sephiroth. As much as it'd pained me to do so (because, you know, of the "grudge" I have against him for "offing" Aeris LoL), I'd done it, and honestly do like how it'd come out (especially because it looks like he's silently repenting and/or reflecting upon what he's done . . . jerk LoL). ^_^
This was yet another fan request that I'd done a few years back, for someone who really loved Tomoe Hotaru from "Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon," as well as fairies (and obviously my artwork. LoL). So, here was the result. I personally don't really like it (especially the eyes, for once LoL), but he loved it so yeah. ^_^
I really, REALLY treasure this drawing of Tsukino Usagi, also from "Bishoujo Senshi: Sailormoon," and that's saying a lot, because I have drawn about a dozen+ of Usagi pictures over the years. ^_^
Can we guess my favorite feature in this picture? Yep. Eyes. LoL Oh, and that's a flower petal that's gently caressing her lips before falling to the ground. Got lazy and didn't bother to draw the rest surrounding her. LoL
Not one of my best works, but still a treasured product, nonetheless (but again, because Sailormoon is my all-time favorite manga/anime). ^_^
I've always loved this capture of the "grown up" Chibiusa (in the Super S manga arc), so I'd decided to draw it, myself. ^_^ And once again, not to toot my own horn, but I've always thought that my "forte" in drawing is the character's eyes, and so naturally I'm pleased with her eyes in this one. ^_^
Here is my super cute drawing of my Mutou Yugi (or "Baby Yugi," as I call him for this picture LoL), from "Yu-Gi-Oh!" ^_^ I really love his adorable eyes . . . reminds me of my cat, Mackey, and when he really wants food. ^_^
I love this guy to death, because he reminds me so much of Usagi-chan, his personality . . . my best friend. LoL ^_^ Anyway, here's Jonouchi Katsuya, also from "Yu-Gi-Oh!", and my favorite character within the series. And because he is also a favorite of my friend, Nicole, I'd drawn this for her . . . Didn't come out so bad, so I'm okay with it. ^_^
Sad to say that I was just "bored" one day back in January 2002, and so said, "Huh . . . let's draw Kujaku Mai from 'Yu-Gi-Oh!'" And so . . . I did. ^_^ What do I love? The eyes, yes. LoL
Scratch what I'd said before. THIS is my favorite drawing to me, because I've always loved "The Little Mermaid" since the very first time that I'd watched the movie . . . back when I was 5 years old . . . ^_^ It was the very first Disney movie I'd ever seen, also the first Disney and movie period that I'd owned (and I have a vast collection by now, 17 years later). She's the best, that Ariel, oh my GOD. ^_^
I was never really fond of Hercules, the "Manly Adult" in Disney's version (or, any version for that matter, actually LoL I don't like Hercules), but I'd always found his gawky teenaged version in the beginning for "adorkable." We "adorkable" people have to stick together. ^_~
This picture of Yoshizuki Iori from "I's" was a Mother's Day gift that I'd drawn for my awesome mother two Mother's Days ago (a.k.a. 2004 LoL). Iori doesn't REALLY really look like my mother, but yet she does -- especially when Mommy was a teenager (and yea, I said "Mommy," and I'm an adult. So what? I love my mother to pieces LoL). ^_^
I'm very proud of it, because it is the very first colored picture that I'd done "beautifully" since I was about . . . 10 years old, I think (it's a good thing it'd come out well, since I'd colored the original, and not a printed copy as I usually do if I bother to add color to my stuff). ^_^
Of all of the Ayukawa Madoka pictures I have seen, this one was my most favorite, so I'd decided to draw it.
I am in love with this drawing, to be truthful, because it'd also come out super well, and I'M the one who'd drawn it. ^_~
Yes, yes, I know that the title character, Inuyasha IS NOT a cat demon. But, I just love his ears so much (especially when they twitch LoL), so I'd just nicknamed him "Inu-kitty-Yasha." ^_^
Other than that, I don't much care for this picture (how it'd come out, I mean).
I'm definitely proud, without a doubt, of this drawing of Sora and as he appears from the first "Kingdom Hearts" installment, because (for MY standards, anyway) it'd come out pretty "flawless." Go, me. ^_^
And here is another one of my favorite characters, Saya, from "Blood: The Last Vampire." I really, really, REALLY love this drawing as well among my collection, because, again, it'd come out FAR better than I'd expected. Huh . . . methinks I doth doubt too much when it comes to my "skills." LoL
Only disappointing thing about it is that her head is slightly out of proportion to the rest of her body . . . but only slightly (thankfully). ^_^
Here is Peter Benjamin Parker, better known as "Spider-Man," doing his "thing." LoL
I was bored one day while on break before my next class back in August 2002, so I'd just started doodling . . . Next I know, I'm drawing Spider-Man, and BAM! Here he is as an end result of my boredom and doodling. LoL
Spider-Man may not be my most favorite of Marvel Comics Superheroes, but having drawn him DID help to snag me my boyfriend at the time. So, thanx. LoL
Now this, I love. It's a fanart OF a fanart of Link and Navi from "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time." Of course, the original (the fanart, which I believe was by the abundantly talented Rachel Young, a.k.a. "Artoki." I think. It was four years ago that I'd done this, so I cannot remember) is DEFINITELY better than mine, and also in color and a painting, but still. I like and am proud of how mine had come out. ^_^
Here is one of my favorite characters to use within Capcom's "Street Fighter" video game series (besides Ryu and Sakura), Chun-Li. I'm surprised it had come out this well (yes, I am a broken record with saying that by this point LoL) . . . ^_^
Conglomeration of My Bishoujo Senshi: Sailormoon Goddess Fanfic Fanartwork Display
Here is one of the many wonderful pieces of fanart I have received for my "Bishoujo Senshi: Sailormoon Goddess" Sailormoon-inspired Fanfic. This one was done by a fan who went by the name, "Kousagi" (never did find out her real name, even though she'd sent me a lot of fanart LoL), and her take on what my Goddess Senshi team look like, with their respective sigils shining upon their foreheads.
This "collage" pose idea, she'd informed me, had come from the original Sailor Senshi. Love it ^_^
This collage version of what the Goddess Senshi team look like together had been done by an ex-friend, Lauren.
Her version has a more "mature," "somber" feel than "Kousagi's." Regardless, both pieces were drawn very well.
This is one of the many pieces of fanart I'd received of what one of my Goddess Senshi, Sibley Siasi, a.k.a. Sailorartemis, looks like. Unfortunately, I do not know the name of the artist who had drawn this, but I still appreciate the contribution! And I love the facial expression, because it really captures Artemis's persona, I think.
"Kousagi" did not agree, but I'd thought and still do think that this drawing of hers of Sibley Siasi/Sailorartemis is very well done. ^_^
She looks exactly the way she had in my episode 1, when she had been confronted by the Sailor Senshi. Great capture, "Kousagi." ^_~
And here is yet another great Sibley/Sailorartemis drawing by Kousagi. Again, I like the job done on Sibley's spiky, short hair -- although "Kousagi's" version always reminded me of another fanfic's character's hair. Give me a minute to think on it; I'll get it. LoL
Another piece of fanart of what my Sibley Siasi/Sailorartemis character looks like (personally my favorite piece of art of her, although technically all of them are), drawn by my extremely talented friend, Meghan.
I love the way her face looks -- very intimidating . . . which is good, because that is precisely how Sibley is. ^_^
Another fanart piece of my Sibley Siasi/Sailorartemis character. Again, I'd forgotten who'd drawn this one (mainly because I cannot make out her signature in the picture LoL), but I like it.
It's more of a punk-rock sort of version of Sibley. ^_^
Another piece of fanart of what my Sibley Siasi/Sailorartemis character looks like (another personal fave) . . . that I had drawn. LoL
Technically, it isn't really a "finished" work, as I'd never bothered to do added detail, and sadly her head is a tick out of proportion for the rest of her body, but still. I love her hair. LoL
It had been my intention to do a "swimsuit collection" of all of the Goddess Senshi, but I'd gotten lazy and said never mind. LoL But I still like this, even though it is a bit "out of character" for Sibley's usual choice in clothing. ^_^
Same drawing of my Sibley Siasi/Sailorartemis character above, but in color.
Another piece of fanart by "Kousagi," this time of what my Philomena Galanis, a.k.a. Sailorselene character from my "Sailormoon: Goddess" fic looks like. This is one of my favorite pieces of Sailorselene art, because I feel that "Kouagi" had captured her look flawlessly -- especially the skin tone and neat hairstyle for when she transforms.
Besides all that, I also really like her face, because for once she seems happy, which is a bit of a rarity to see . . .
I really like this edit of Tsukino Usagi (the pose, anyhow) that "Kousagi" had done for my Philomena Galanis/Sailorselene.
Besides her hair (which is exactly how I see it within my head when she's in "civilian mode"), I am in love with her face and sad eyes -- a perfect capture of what is always within her heart . . .
Another version of what my Philomena Galanis/Sailorselene character looks like, as interpreted by my friend, Meghan (yes, the same who had drawn Sailorartemis up there).
I love the somber capture of her face. Beautiful job.
My "Chobits"-inspired pose for my two original characters, Lycoris & Philomena Galanis/Sailorselene.
WARNING: This picture is a bit of a spoiler for future episodes . . .
This is my drawing of my Lin Mo Niang, a.k.a. Sailormazu character from my "Sailormoon: Goddess" fic. This is a personal favorite of art of her -- even though I'd drawn it. LoL
It's just that she is SO adorable in this picture, with her kinda chubby cheeks. ^_^
Same Lin Mo Niang/Sailormazu picture of mine, but in color.
Another piece of fanart of my Lin Mo Niang/Sailormazu character. This one was done, again, by my ex-friend, Lauren.
Even though Niang came out a bit TOO slim and serious-looking than how she actually is, it is still very well done, especially Niang's beautiful qipao.
I really like this picture of Lin Mo Niang/Sailormazu that "Kousagi" had drawn (even though she, herself, hadn't seemed to, judging by her description of it in e-mail ^_^).
It really IS adorable, this one, and I think that "Kousagi" had drawn her "pudgy face" and ox horn hairstyle perfectly. ^_^
Another piece of fanart of what my Lin Mo Niang/Sailormazu character looks like.
My friend, Kat, had done this on her computer, and I absolutely love it!
Yet another outstanding picture done by "Kousagi," of the "mother-like" Oriana Aita and her alter ego, Sailoreos.
There is nothing about this picture that I don't like. ^_~
Another piece of fanart by "Kousagi" of my Oriana Aita/Sailoreos character. The pose idea had been taken from that one that Ten'ou Haruka is in, in one of the many gallery pictures of hers.
I love it.
Another piece of fanart by my ex-friend, Lauren, of my Oriana Aita/Sailoreos character. While this is one of my most favorite pieces of fanart of Oriana and overall, she'd come off sort of . . . "serious" and/or "mean," even, when she is nothing of the sort (trust me LoL).
Still, it is a superb picture.
Another fanart by "Kousagi," of my Karissa Gorgreus, a.k.a. Sailoraphrodite character from my "Sailormoon: Goddess" fic. The pose idea had been taken from that one shot of (the good) Galaxia-sama from the original series.
Despite this, it is still very beautiful. And, obviously, Karissa is very vain. LoL
WARNING: Spoiler picture for the story.
Ahh, what a lovely capture of my Karissa Gorgreus/Sailoraphrodite character in her senshi guise, doing what she does best: looking pretty. ^_^ I like the hairstyle "Kousagi" had chosen for her this time around (since Karissa is always changing her hairstyle/color LoL).
Great job.
I really like this picture of my Rachna Naini Talkar, a.k.a. Sailorshiva from my "Sailormoon: Goddess" fic.
I really like the way "Kousagi" had drawn her hair, and the way her heterochromatic eyes had been done, as well.
Great job as always. ^_^
Another piece of fanart, by "Kousagi," this time of my Maris Olymart, a.k.a. Sailorposeidon character from my "Sailormoon: Goddess" fic.
I really love her wavy hair and piercing eyes.
And another piece of fanart by "Kousagi," but of my sometimes ditzy, sometimes absent-minded Xylona Cusi, a.k.a. Sailorbegoe character from my "Sailormoon: Goddess" fic.
I love everything about this picture.
My Bishoujo Senshi: Sailormoon Cosmic Fanfic Fanartwork Display
This is Anwyl Jouai, a.k.a. Cosmic Sailorvenus (Aino Minako's daughter) -- or, in this case/picture, Neo Princess Venus II. She is for/within the second installment to my Sailormoon Trilogy story I have been writing for the past two years (with Sailormoon: Goddess as the first installment), "Bishoujo Senshi: Sailormoon Cosmic". For those who have yet to read it, Cosmic focuses upon the future children of the original Sailor Senshi.
Anyhow, while this is not my best of work, I DO like the way that Jouai's hair and face came out, so yeah. ^_^
This is Anwyl Jouai, a.k.a. Cosmic Sailorvenus (Aino Minako's daughter) -- or, in this case/picture, Neo Princess Venus II.
Same picture, but in color.
This would be my mischievous, yet very friendly Urawa Issui, a.k.a. Cosmic Sailormercury (Mizuno Ami's daughter), also from my "Bishoujo Senshi: Sailormoon Cosmic" story.
This is how the sailorfuku for the Cosmic Senshi looks after they henshin. ^_^
Admittedly, she is my most favorite of the Cosmic Senshi, but probably because her personality had been derived from me. LoL
This would be my mischievous, yet very friendly Urawa Issui, a.k.a. Cosmic Sailormercury (Mizuno Ami's daughter), also from my "Bishoujo Senshi: Sailormoon Cosmic" story.
Again, same picture but in color.
And this would be Tanrei Mori, a.k.a. Cosmic Sailorjupiter (Kino Makoto's daughter), also from my "Bishoujo Senshi: Sailormoon Cosmic" story.
This is how HER sailorfuku looks after she transforms.
She is probably my second or third favorite character of the Cosmic Senshi, because she reminds me of Usagi. ^_^
And this would be Tanrei Mori, a.k.a. Cosmic Sailorjupiter (Kino Makoto's daughter), also from my "Bishoujo Senshi: Sailormoon Cosmic" story.
Once more, same picture, but in color.
Miscellaneous Fanartwork Display
As the picture states, this would be my Gaia Online avatar, drawn by my friend Josh and brief . . . "interest" and vice versa LoL
It pretty much looks like me, except I don't have red hair, golden eyes or fox ears/tail LoL
Even though I absolutely abhor G.O. now, I still love this picture of me/my old avatar. ^_^
This a fanart of a fanart of a fanFIC (confusing, I know hehe) of the extremely awesome "Sailormoon: Neo" fanfic by Janelle J, and her character, Neo Sailorvenus. ^_^
