Introduction and Fan Art!

[aorphiusrex.livejournal.com]

Um, hi. I've been a Scrapped Princess fan for some time now, and I'm happy to have found a LiveJournal community for it! It seems to be a little sleepy right now, but I thought I'd share some fan art.


Name: Aorphius.

How I discovered Scrapped Princess: Before the anime series was even licensed, I found some screencaps from the first few episodes while searching for something completely different. Being a fantasy nut, I was really intrigued, so after Bandai picked up the series for US release, I bought the first DVD and I've loved the series ever since.

The character(s) I will defend with bike chains and broken beer bottles if I see anyone bashing him/her/them: I was going to say "Shannon, Raquel, Pacifica, and Leo," but I think I'd defend most of the cast...

How I plan to contribute: I draw!

Level of exposure: I've seen all the anime, read the manga, and read the three light novels that were published by TokyoPop (before they dropped the series...).

How SutePri broke my heart: There are a lot of moments that make me sad, but that scene where Pacifica is dying and Raquel starts praying/pleading for her makes me weep bitter, uncontrollable tears every time.

But enough about me - let's talk fan art!

So I drew a "tribute" to the series of sorts. It's not perfect, and it doesn't feature every character, but I'm rather proud of it all the same. Unfortunately, I don't yet know how to better imbed my artwork on LiveJournal, so all I've got right now is a sad thumbnail that takes you to my deviantArt page. All the same, I hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to the comm, and thanks for sharing your awesome art! Everyone looks great, and I especially like that you included both of Zeffy's forms. Also, Shannon and Raquel really do look ready to kick some ass. How long did that take to draw and color?

You can directly embed images with the following code (replace things in [brackets] with their proper values):

<img src="[your image's url]" width=[width of your image] height=[guess XD] alt="[text you want to show for people who have images turned off, or for people who get load errors]" title="[text you want to show when people hover over the image--most of the time, people use the same text as the alt]">

Though, really, I don't see anything wrong with a deviantART thumbnail/link. *g* Whichever method you use, hope to see more art from you!

Thanks for the embedding code! I'll keep it in mind the next time I have anything to share. : )

Honestly, I have no idea how long the drawing took me, since the work was spread over a couple of days. My guess would be maybe 6-7 hours altogether, but I'm pretty lousy at estimating time.
