Old lineart of an interesting character I made awhile back. She's some kind of cheshire cat, and I have a sneaky suspision that she comes from the same place the Jah does... wherever that is. But anyway, could you tell that I'm having way too much fun with the recycled paper?

Lord Ganesha by Naryu

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 23:52:28 -0000

Ganesha is one of the most worshiped and diverse deities in the Hindu pantheon. Ganesha is known as the the remover of obstacles, and Guardian of the thresholds. This was commissioned by one of the Yoga Studio Directors shortly before I got let go. I was hesitant to post it as it very much was a working experiment for me. This piece is done entirely in illustrator, and with the gradient mesh tool. now I know its not /perfect/ but this taught me alot about how to use that took for lighting and what not

Earth Rat by Naryu

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 06:09:15 -0000

Every year I made a Chinese New Year poster (well ok.. i started it last year) but Im making it a new tradition ;3 So here we go, for the new year, The Earth rat! I tried to incorporate as much symbolizers as I knew, I know traditionally the colours in Chinese are red for luck, but "Earth" didn't look right conveyed as such. The gourds tied to his tail are bottle gourds They are symbols of luck, It is thought that the gourd holds magic nectar which is consumed by many Buddhist deities. Sau, the Chinese god of longevity brandishes the gourd at the end of his staff, this is said to contain the elixir of immortality. The symbol in the background is a Shou, another symbol for longevity (often painted onto the dried gourds) and of course wirrten in Chinese is "恭喜发财" (Happy New years) May the year of the Rat bring Prosperity to all!

Zero's Spoon by DimeSpin

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 23:56:59 -0000

This is 041465 of the Blood Gold Hive - or just Zero. She is her Queen's most trusted servant and acts as a kind of second in command and proxy. She frequently makes decisions for the Queen in her absence. She was part of the group that left with a young Queen that had lost the fight for that hive's throne, so Zero is actually the Queen's sister. Members of the royal party in Melliferian hives are discouraged from having other important jobs, since they need to be available at any time for the Queen. Without useful things to do with the majority of their time, they nurture their eccentricities. Zero has a thing for spoons and collects them.

Queen Amber Rust by DimeSpin

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:50:59 -0000

Queen Amber Rust. She's a young Queen of an old established hive. She's a kind, soft spoken lady, but she also has a terrible, cold kind of intelligence. Some people are good because they could not conceive of doing something cruel. Amber Rust is good because she feels benevolence is the best policy 99% of the time. It's the remaining 1% of the time that blindsides people.

Inspired by the Far Eastern Asian and Indian artwork I'd been looking at; these were swimming around in my head for a while. The lower right is sort of like a feline Kuan Yin. The upper left (in the caftan) is hand-less on purpose (I see it as a sort of spirit or... something). Oh, and I do like elephants! I made up the ornamentation on him.
