Alice and Onyx

This picture began as a redraw meme (http://langleyserina.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d332yc2)

based on this picture: (http://langleyserina.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d1fkvs1).

I definitely changed a great deal from the original and this new version took on a life of its own, similar to the first only in content.

Thats Alice on the left and Onyx on the right.

Done in Photoshop and Illustrator.

I can see... EVERYTHING

Some things should not be witnessed, and when they are they can never be unseen.

For those of you patiently waiting the start of the HOME web comic at www.canwegohomeyet.com here is a little teaser for you. The comic is currently on track and, as long as everything goes as planned, will launch at the end of the year!

The Great Cthulhu!

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!"

I love this surrealism, fits the great old ones well.

I am pretty happy with the style and as of now the plan is to draw the entire comic like this. Feedback of course is always appreciated.

Happy Halloween!

Its that time of year again, time to break out the carving tools a and cut up a pumpkin. (followed by baking delicious pumpkin flavored treats) So here is my delightfully creepy jack-o-lantern. The blood is made from mixing rubber cement with food coloring, it looks great, kinda like chunky blood, which looks perfect coming out of his mouth. Happy Halloween everyone!

Influence Map

I finally got around to doing this! It was very fun and definitely a journey of self discovery. The list is not in any real order, but their size does reflect their amount of influence.

if you are interested here are some explanations as to who/what all these are.

And you can find the original template here: http://fox-orian.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2vx881

1. Alfonse Mucha: One of my biggest influences, the beautiful design/illustration mix has contributed to everything in my art, from the way I draw people, (especially beautiful women) to my philosophy on mixing the genres of illustration and graphic design.

2. Tara McPherson: Subject matter and style. Her creepy, slightly macabre, and yet very playful and cute style just makes me all warm inside. :D

3. Patrick Nagel: Ever since I was a kid I had a thing for Nagel's style, and not because his illustrations showed up in Playboy. The 1980's fashion, Art Nouveau influences, and graphic design/illustration mix make Nagel a more modern Mucha and, of course a huge influence.

4. Frank Lloyd Wright: When I was 4-9 years old I wanted to be an architect. During these years my number one influence was Frank Lloyd Wright. Although my focus has shifted away from all the wonderful math of architecture, I still love to draw fantastical buildings and such, and Wright still influences such drawings.

5. Charles Vess: A somewhat recent influence, Vess brought a nice take on digital painting and fantasy style to my work.

6. Pyramid Head: Really most of the Silent Hill world here, but out of it all Pyramid Head stands tall. The phycological horror that pulls from primal fears hiding in the back of your mind is what fuels the world of Silent Hill. It is this horror that inspires the thoughts of what else the darkness may be hiding, and in turn the need to render it in glorious detail, bringing the fear out of the dark to see just how horrible it really is. I just love it. :D As far as the dreaded Pyramid Head, 75% of me is terrified of him… and 25% wants to be him.

7. Alien-like Se creatures: Especially jellyfish. EVerything about them is wondrous, and through them many grand ideas have taken shape over the years.

8. H.P. Lovecraft: Horror, Insanity, etc. As it is said, there is a fine line between genius and insanity, this holds true in all of my artwork, I am never sure if I am brilliant or just crazy. Lovecraft's stories nail that essence perfectly.

9. Sandman: All of Neil Gaiman's work is wonderful and influential to me in many ways, but none as much as Sandman. I strive in my own story-telling adventures to pour as much detail and life into my characters and worlds.

10. The Knife: I choose the Knife here because they are the most recent influential source of music, but really lots more electronic music falls here. When I am stuck on something I pop on Pandora and listen to the trance inducing bips and boops of the modern electronic station. If i'm not stuck I still turn it on and just zone out, draw, and see what comes of it., always a great experience.

11. Blizzard Entertainment: Although I often hate to admit how much I play it, the Warcraft universe is one of my favorite fantasy settings. I draw so much inspiration from the world, characters, and story that I feel like I know the lore as well as the creators (a little sad, i know).

12. Neon Genesis Evangelion: Philosophy, Religion, Psychology, Deep Character Development, AND Giant Robots. What's not to love here? Definitely one of the biggest animation influences on my work. All of the above (robots the least) have factored into my work in great amounts over the years, and the remake of the series recently has once again rekindled that inspiration. (on a side note, Evangelion 2.0 You Can [Not] Advance, is quite possible the greatest animated feature I have ever seen.)

13. Loish: Since I discovered her work a few years ago it has influence nearly every single piece I have done since in one way or another. She is like Mucha on acid if he had access to Photoshop, a great combination. I only hope to be as skilled one day.

...there's no place like HOME

NUAP

Another beautiful look at some wonderful Netherhood architecture. This one of several buildings located at the campus of The Netherhood University of Art and Philosophy.

Definitely inspired by something.... but I just can't tell what...

Between Spaces

Some nice Netherhood concept art featuring a bit of the wacky architecture found therein. Yes that is water at the top and bottom.

Cthulhu Witch

Some Lovecraftian armor concept art.

Sure... The scarf is magic...

A commissioned/gift piece for Nadine. Its been a long time since i have done the chibi style, but its still fun.

dream warrior sketch

So now that i am back from Europe for a while i can continue my arduous search for a job... but i can also get back to drawing. So here is a sweet work in progress.

The dream warriors were once the sacred protectors of the Netherhood and often times served as personal bodyguards to the king himself. They studied many disciplines of combat and magic, calling upon the denizens of the dreamworld to aid them.

More coming soon...

Muro!

Deviant art has launched their HTML5 drawing program Muro and it is pretty cool. I drew this is about 5 min in it, using the trackpad on my laptop. When I get back home to my tablet I will definitely play around in it a bit more.

So if you wanna draw and don't have anything like Photoshop or painter, or you are bored and have a computer nearby try it out.

News: deviantART Muro: It's Time to Draw!

Seregina

So much craziness is going on here... anyways, more to come.

Onyxwitch: Holy Paladin

So I know that there has been a lack of art on this page for a while.... I've been working on my submission for the Blizzard writing contest, and been doing tons of... lets call it research.

Anyways here's Onyxwitch, my Blood Elf Paladin from World of Warcraft hope you all like it.

and here is her armory link; The World of Warcraft Armory - Onyxwitch @ Lothar - Profile

These guys are kinda cute, when they aren't swirling into a fiery vortex of death.

More of those cute glowy things!

As for the lovely lady, thats Alice, heres a few old pictures of her;

I'm Sad Because You're Sad. by ~LangleySerina on deviantART

I think its about time I did some new ones.

On a side note, this picture feels really Disney for some reason... to much cuteness perhaps.

Deep Sea

ooooo, such cool things live at the bottom of the Netherhood Ocean, what are those cute little guys? Well, stay tuned to find out! :D

ROMBUS!

Bender Bending Rodriguez.

The 4 Horsemen

The 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. Definitely gonna take this one to finish.

Eva 02 - "The Beast"

I just watched the second Evangelion Rebuild movie and just had to do some Eva fan art. Here is Unit 02 in Beast Mode, not Berserker (thats right, see the movie if you haven't yet, its crazy.)

Sun Dress

To kick off the summer; thought I would do a nice sunny picture.

Sketch Blog

Thanks to the inspiration of a great artist I have been following I will now be starting a sketch blog this summer. The idea will be to do a speed painting once every 2 or 3 days and post it here, this is (right now) 100% just for me to improve and keep in practice. But if the blog gets popular I will post some more stuff (tutorials, finished works, etc.)

For anyone I may have sent the link to, you can expect to see work showing up in the first weeks of June, (maybe even as early as the end of may).

Thanks for reading and I hope the following posts will be interesting and intriguing, and who knows, maybe even inspire some people. For now, you can check out some of my work here;
