Character Illustrations: Death's Advocate - Daughters

 
Drawn By: WrittenDusk
Game: Death's Advocate (In Development)
Concept and Development By: MRHAPPYFACEMAN

I've been working on these illustrations for quite awhile now, wanting to post this up only after all four of them are finished.

These character illustrations are for a game, being developed in RPG Maker, called Death's Advocate. In this horror/thriller you will be thrown into unknown worlds as a proxy to assist Death in his fight against demons. The four characters that I have drawn are your daughters, and they will play significant roles within the game. All this is done in collaboration with, and for, MRHAPPYFACEMAN; a user of RPG Maker Forums. I'll have links to the RPG Maker website and their forums below.

I'll still be helping out with this game for the time being, so I'll give more updates as I post more illustrations and/or drawings of this game.

Fan Art: The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild - Zelda



Drawn By: WrittenDusk

A fanart of Zelda from the recently released "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" for Wii U and the newly launched Nintendo Switch. Although it is a fanart of sorts it is much more a sketch of the official promotional art; which is intentional. I'll have the link to the artwork below.

This was mainly done to celebrate the release and launch of the much anticipated "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and Nintendo Switch; although I missed the March 3rd date (T-T). Aside from celebrating, this was also done in admiration to the design of this incarnation of Zelda.

I had fun doing this and quite a bit of nostalgia as well, because of all the sketching I did back in my school and art lesson days. What surprised me though was how I still have similar difficulties in sketching other peoples' art as I did in the past.

Artwork: An Outing


Drawn By: WrittenDusk

My most complete modern themed drawing to date. I used a few references to capture the extra levels of realism, which I'll have listed at the end of this post. To the left is the finished version, while to the right is the same, but without the depth blur added. 

Let me know which one you prefer.

The inspiration for this drawing came from simply wanting to draw this type pose and my desire for a new pair of headphones. Haha. But as simple as this inspiration was, the things I discovered meant much more to me than it would normally.

Though my wishes are modest this year, it's accompanied by a not so modest chicken. Haha.

Happy Year of the Chicken!

Gematsu Art Contest: Sword Art Online Fanart - Asuna

Drawn By: WrittenDusk

To get things out of the way...I didn't even get into the Top 10... (T-T).

Gematsu (gematsu.com) is a great website for gaming news that I visit daily and I highly recommend it. It was really great of them for hosting this art contest, and I'd like to thank them for this opportunity.

A humbling experience is the only way I can describe this. Despite improving a lot since my first contest with Gematsu (Artwork: Sora in Advent Children Costume), there was actually less feedback during the voting this time around. 

There were multiple reasons for this which I had realized both before and during the contest.

(The second image should have been what I submitted instead.)

Artwork: Red Haired Girl


Drawn By: WrittenDusk 

I decided to do this artwork on a whim and took the chance to revisit my school days in art with a simple composition. Ever since I stopped taking art courses I have never really painted an artwork from start to finish again. I always feel more comfortable and confident having lines in my drawings. But this really widen my comfort zone. Things really do tend to come around full circle unexpectedly and unintentionally.
