Hey Voiders. Long time no see! I was just going to lurk for a while and see what was up around here, but then I got to talking to RoflQu and he may or may not have made various threats in regards to what might happen if I didn't post stuff. I could be lying, though.

So I figure, why the hell not dive in with both feet and see what happens?

Just because I've been absent from this fine place doesn't mean I haven't been busy with art. In fact, I've (technically) been published!

Which was the color work I did for Black Label Comics' "Dark Ages." Which looked like this:


I've been getting into some realism stuff:


But also playing with a more illustrative style:


And I've still can't leave that grumpy ginger alone:



I'm also working on my own stories and comics!



So...that's what I've been up to.

[Qyzex]

Superb to see you again! I love what I see!Good coloring!

[Charlie]

That Spartan is way rad. I really like the colouring on that one dude.

[UndeadOrion]

Thanks, guys!

I return with more art, as I've been slaving away at commissions to pay for one thing. And all that hard work has now killed my computer. Which should return to life tomorrow night for I will work magic voodoo and sacrifice my bank account to bring it back to life. That is, replace it.

Anyway, here's some of what I made for people.

Line art of furries, which I have such a hard time with:


Painting-like thing of my friend's dog:


Mushy romatic fanart moment of characters from Valkyria Chronicles:


And not a commission, but a request for a friend, a tutorial:

[Reign]

i really like the colouring tute
Nice colours

[Angie]

Nice to see you back, I hope that you do something on Void again soon! I really like the first piece you did in the first post, the texturing turned out great.

[UndeadOrion]

I hope that soon, I'll have the time to do an actual battle. Or finish out one of the BB's I've started for Crawford. It would be great practice, and a test! 3 pages in a week used to be daunting for me. But now I've done that a few times outside of the site, so I wonder if I could pull off an actual battle.

And, I have more drawings! This one was a birthday present for a friend, fanart from her favorite series Broken Saints.

[UndeadOrion]

Shh. I didn't vanish for a year. I don't know what you're talking about.

The secret? I finally did it. And by it, I mean made the leap. No more day job. Now it's all comics, all the time. It IS my day job! Okay, how about some random bits of art?



And some color practice:

[Rose]

Buhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Just... yes.

[UndeadOrion]

Glad you approve!

[The Bent One]

Damn... that's some nice coloring on the inks. Keep it up!

[Animeshen]

wow, I didn't know you were a Voider! Thats awesome! Great stuff as usual, hope to see you around more!
(dunno if you remember me lol we were in the same fandom a long time ago)

[UndeadOrion]

Of course I remember you! And I've been a Voider for six years! Crazy how time flies. And I think you knew me before I ever came here. Back when Crawford (my first fighter) was just starting to be developed.

[UndeadOrion]

Slowly but surely plugging away at this color thing. Doing more practice:

[Rose]

Yeah, I guess those colors are pretty okay... :O

[UndeadOrion]

Just gonna quietly pop in here ninja drop some art:

First, some of the boys I have elsewhere on this site.


A few bits of fan art (the book series Mistborn and an unheard of show called Chaos.)



And some dudes from a comic I've been working on:



And some much needed environment practice (something of an improvement of the backgrounds in my old battles, I'd say):

[Cracking Skulls]

Holy crap these are great! I saw some of your stuff in my days of lurking around the site so I remember Crawford,  these are awesome pieces. I like the background a lot too

[UndeadOrion]

Thanks! That background wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be--sketchup is an amazing help.

Having been rolling around the site, I decided to update his design sheet. From this ancient thing, to this:

[Cracking Skulls]

That's even cooler! Definitely loving the improvement. Thinking of battling anytime soon with Crawford?

[Fearn]

Thanks! That background wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be--sketchup is an amazing help.

Sketchup?

Also i agree shit's ace

[UndeadOrion]

That's even cooler! Definitely loving the improvement. Thinking of battling anytime soon with Crawford?

Thinking about it! I'm certainly getting fast enough to handle a battle among my other work.

Sketchup?

Also i agree shit's ace

Sketchup is a 3D program that's great for building houses and rooms in. Like so:

[Rose]

OMG Sketchup looks like the perfect cheat tool for artists! LOL

Just wanted to say how blown away I am by all of your art! I also fixed the link to your old character sheet; I hope you don't mind.

[UndeadOrion]

Sketch Up is indeed a great cheat tool. It takes a while to get stuff set up (the house took me two and a half days to build), but it's soooo worth it.

I didn't even realize I'd botched the link. Thanks!

[UndeadOrion]

Just gonna drop a few things by here, casual like, while I work on something.....





And a thing or two I did for school:

[JCee]

EYYYY These look fantastic!
