This is Necrobat reborn with the soul of Elvont Lecarde. The blade he's holding there is the infamous Fiend Blade, a sword that was enchanted with dark energy, making it indestructible and allowing him to use it against beam sabers. I plan on elaborating upon this background. The swirling darkness behind him is nice and all, but it's only there so I don't just have a white background. I can't stand having just a white background on any of my works. |

This is a mugshot of Necrobat I sketched up in about 30 minutes and colored in using Photoshop in about an hour. |
 |
Same mugshot, except I applied a sketch filter to it to make it look like one of those really detailed end scenes of an anime.
Ah, I had fun drawing Necrobat. |
 |
I did a lot of this with Photoshop. The tiles were generated using a filter, as well as the shadows and the picture on the wall. I love this background, and I had a lot of fun with it. |

Just sort of posting it so you can see the actual throne. |

This was originally ZYMETH's drawing of Volt Kraken (note the difference in drawing style). I offered to color him in and give him a background, and he said that he'd appreciate it, so I set to work. Ok, this is the first copy of the touch-up I made using Adobe Photoshop. Since Kraken's the Cooler, "blow up planets with a grin on your face" type, I decided to place a burning city in the background. Also note the secondary shadow that Volt's electricity is casting on the ground. This is one of my most detailed backgrounds yet. All in all, I liked the way Volt turned out, but I thought "I could do more with this," so I went the extra mile and gave it some atmosphere... |
 |
I absolutely love how this came out. The rain, the lightning. Everything just comes together so well to give Volt Kraken that pissed-off "all living things are mere playthings to me" look. This is one of my personal favorites out of my whole career of screwing around with Photoshop. |

Elvont Lecarde and Shelly spending a romantic evening together under the stars, or rather, among them, given their location. Quite a cute couple in my opinion. |
 |
For someone whose inspiration was the legendary Indiana Jones, I'm surprised this wasn't already done. Indy asked me to draw his custom character, and this picture instantly crept into my mind. Hope you like it, Indy. |

I decided that since Lecarde obviously doesn't like bright light, he'd pick up the habit of wearing shades, and who else has the coolest shades in the world other than Resident Evil's Albert Wesker?
I love the way the signature (click on the sprite) came out, too.
Shame on everyone who doesn't get the Kojak reference, or the Castlevania 4 reference, for that matter. |
