D: I'd have thought I would have made one of these a lot sooner than this.
Also, since I've hit the images-per-post limit, some of the older stuff is being converted into links, sorry. *dial-up users rejoice*

New stuff at the top of this post, as well as the last post in the thread ( as it's getting a bit crowded up here! )


NEW STUFF
--------------------

Wow, I drew a picture! Artblock's been chewing at me for so, so long now D:

What's this Pian WTFing at? ... I dunno. Make something up. XD

*kicks all the HTML links*
END OF NEW STUFF --------------------

Posted Image
My love of PSU and NiGHTS finally crossed roads. Is it a Rappy as NiGHTS, or NiGHTS as a Rappy? You decide.
The PSU font says 'Rappy Nocturn', since Rappies have weird names like that ( such as Rappy Paska, Rappy Amure, Rappy Noel, ect ). I figured a NiGHTS Rappy would have some kinda night-timey sounding name. XD

Posted Image
Just a simple pic of classic NiGHTS. The arms and cuffs gave me problems. I just couldn't get them to look right at all. ;_;

Posted Image
To start, I hate Photoshop CS2, so pulling this off in it is something of an achievement. Secondly, TRiPPY's experiences whilst homeless just sorta kickstarted my inspiration and I knew I had to draw something for her and Digi. I worked my butt off on this, and, even though it has it's errors ( I know, Babel is muuuuuch bigger than that... XD ), I'm quite proud of it.

It represents the pair standing up against the overwhelming hardships they faced whilst on the streets. The black blobs at the bottom are faceless Maren, each one representing a problem or stress that had come toward them. UV is facing them, standing confidently and without fear, ready to take them on. I imagine he's wearing a smirk.

In the end, we know it will be a triumphant face-off. ^^

Anyway, I hope you two like this despite it's errors. I know you're changing UV's design for your new iMAGNi-verse, but I don't know what he looks like, so NiGHTS-style it is. XD


Posted Image
Doodled on a whim to pass the time, and what started the small group of scribbles ( I'm still full of artblock >.< Can't draw anything past scribbles right now. ). The stripes on the candy cane are black because I originally didn't plan on colouring it. I could have changed it, but liked the Ahh Real Monsters reference enough to leave it as is.

Posted Image
Um... I can't think of anything to say here. The doodle speaks for itself... XD
I expect Reala to be completely off-model since I A. just doodled it and B. wasn't using any form of reference, aheh... ^^;

Posted Image
Try to look past the HORRIBLE table and 'segasewnic 2000' on this. D: I just couldn't pass this joke up.

( same image in 1024x768 format: <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/kia...Desktop1024.jpg" target="_blank">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/kia...Desktop1024.jpg</a> )

Whee, a desktop. This didn't come out exactly how I wanted it, but all things considered, I think it could have went a lot worse.
um... would this come under fan art for the bonus hoops? XD

Posted Image
I doodled this in MS Paint one night. Just a simple image of NiGHTS posing in a typically NiGHTSy fashion.

Posted Image
zomgz my ancient fancharacter, Dawn. Aka Chickentoes. Aka BloodyHellThatsPointy. XD
Those feet get bigger every time I draw them, honestly.

Background is my 'signature dreamscape', or whatever you want to call it. I see places like that in my dreams a lot; random black structures with little red lights on them amidst a dark purple/blue/grey landscape. I'd go into more detail but I don't think this is the thread for that. XD

Posted Image

Vampie NiGHTS. =D
It's not perfect, I know... but eh, I've been fighting the dreaded art block for a couple months, now. Any small picture feels like a victory over the imposing overlords of anti-art motivation. XD

Also, after rummaging through my Photobucket, I came across these( I'm sure some of you have seen them before ):

<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/kia...ko/GulpoPNG.png" target="_blank">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/kia...ko/GulpoPNG.png</a>

Random picture of Gulpo that I'm sure I had a larger version of, but I fear it's on my older PC...

<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/kia.../RealaJedah.jpg" target="_blank">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/kia.../RealaJedah.jpg</a>
A 'darkstalkerized' pic of Reala I oekaki'd, after watching too many videos of Vampire Savior fights on Youtube. I briefly wondered what he'd look like as some kinda Jedah-like character. Though looking at it now, he looks more Dimitri-inspired.

The revelation of Reala's Morrigan pants makes this image sadly hilarious to me. XD

<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/kia.../UsagiMaren.jpg" target="_blank">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/kia.../UsagiMaren.jpg</a>
And this was me faffing about one night. I just randomly decided to draw NiGHTS all 'Usagi-ified' after reading a couple of my graphic novels. I know, it's terrible, but amusing enough for me to share. XD

And finally, something very special to me:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/kia...NiGHTSFirst.jpg
The very first picture of NiGHTS I ever drew, back in 1996. I always remember being unable to find anything other than a green biro to draw with at the time. XD
Funny how much my art's changed since then.

Your art is awesome! I'm really keen on that crisp, bold line style. Envious of that, 'cause I'm pretty terrible at it.

NiGHTS' new outfit looks good in orange and black (not to mention that your first NiGHTS pic is adorable! Very serene smile on his face). That Gulpo is badass. I like the colors and the scaly/highlight effect.

Oh WOW!! Ki, that's amazing!! That DarkStalkerized one is really cool. You captured the character style perfectly. Encore.
Remind me to commission you at some point to do a Valentine one because that Reala one is all levels of badass!

And your first picture of NiGHTS is cute. I think everyone who is a NiGHTS fan treasures the first picture they draw of him... ..i was stupid and gave mine to a cousin who probably cares not for NiGHTS anymore. :(

And that Halloween one is aweomse, too.
Great stuff, Ki. ^_^

Ahaha, thanks guys. It feels good to have something worth showing every once in a while. Anyone else ever had the months-on-end artblock from Hell? Or any tips on how to shift it? It's honestly driving me up the wall. D:

Purg - I really should change that message ( it slipped my mind that it was even there ) D: My PC has started throwing fits if I run MSN and PSU at the same time, thus I don't do it anymore. So if you see me online, feel free to drop me a message. ^^

The people rolling around in happiness - quit that, you don't know where it's been!

Digi - I'm a huge Darkstalkers fan. =D I'd love to take you up on that some time ( maybe when I get my inspiration flowing again so there's no risk of a half-arsed picture ). The Reala pic was fun to do. I tried to use a limited pallet on it, throwing a little blue into every color I used. I liked the effect at the end =D

Get rid of art block? Hell, just do what i did with TRiPPY. Kick her arse into gear, lol! So, if GC can go over and visit you then while he's there he can pester you into drawing stuff...and before you know it you're drawing again. Well, it seemed to work with TRiPPY, lol. She ain't stopped drawing over the last few months. It's insaaaane!! XD
Art-blocks are nasty.

Being honest, i never got to play Darkstalkers on it's own. I have played as the characters in other games though, like Marvel vs Capcom 2, but i never got the chance to play Darkstalkers on it's own, sadly ^_^ The character art was always kickass though. That game always had really interesting character designs.
And yeah, about the commission. Lol, i would need to get some money first anyway so it won't be for a while yet. But the idea is definately in my head so i'll come and seek you out when i have funds one day. :P

As for the latest stuff. Your Maren, Dawn. TRiPPY remembers him. She just informed me she drew him once. He's got some mad-ass design. Very cool.
And i wanna run through those bonus hoops. It looks so tempting. XD ....or fly, rather.

Uber-late replies ( and also a cunning bump to say "omg, there's a new image!" ), time!

I remember that pic that TRiPPY drew! ... alas I don't have it anymore since the PC it was on sorta exploded and corrupted the C drive five ways to hell. ;_; It was truly awesome, though. The picture. Not the exploding PC. Um.

And we need to do something about that whole lack of Darkstalkers gaming thing. If I can find my games case ( and you guys have both A. a working Dreamcast, and B. a way to play Japanese games on it ), I'll loan you Vampire Chronicles. Though it may take a while since I've been looking for that case since before you posted that message up there. D:

Migit - he'd probably rip you to shreds if you tried. XD

The perspective was hard; I'm not used to working like that with a tablet D:
But I just became so... inspired that I just went into some kinda arty transe and went with it, ahaha XD First time I'd properly drawn in about a year and a half, I think. ( I really hope it doesn't take a crisis to get me scribbling every time, man, that'd suck ) O.O

Anyway, I'm sooo glad you like it =D

And *lol* Playing Where's Wally with your desktop icons can be fun... XD

*tries to reclaim her Glaswegianness*

Lastly, Buggrit, the links in the first post became HTML again. Rar, I'll fix 'em later. *shakes fist* >.o

For the Reala 'Oh No My GLASSES!' Pic: I saw a little joke. Judging how he's REALLY easy to beat in NiD(at least for me...) I'm considering that he was blinded the whole time. No wonder in JoD he actually SEES that NiGHTS can paraloop and uses HUGE-BUTT CIRCUS BALLS.
