"..But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." - the Skin Horse, The Velveteen Rabbit. I got to thinking about this book yesterday, and of things, and ended up with a sketch to play around in Photoshop with. I never upload any Photoshop stuff in here. Well, okay, so I don't have that much to show, don't color in there much.

Colored pencils and ink. Original (possibly) will be for sale at Midwest this weekend. (I don't wanna sell this one!) >_<

Commission I am working on. (This is a section of what will be the finished image, as there is to be a rather complex background.) So far, colored pencils.
ar-max01prog.jpg - 2003-09-09
Commission image that took quite a long time to get into the colored pencil stage. Ever have that happen when someone's character makes you work for it? I mean, really work for it? Took FOREVER for me to get Max down right. In the end I came out with two other sketches of her though that I like. o.O Weird. Anyhow, I am just SO happy I got this one done. I hope Max's creator shall like how it came out and won't mind me eventually doing something extra for her with those other sketches. If anything, perhaps it'll be a nice way to say, hey, thanks for being so patient and sweet and AWWWWW! ^.^

Drummer's Wings. I'm sure that title makes no sense. I'd go into it, but I'd fill up the page with explainations. Also called, 'Others'. Art & character ©2004 Arphalia. (And just because, for those who would like to know, but don't, I do have a DA account, username arphalia. Don't know if I've mentioned that or not here. o_O)
ar-others.jpg - 2004-08-04
Drawn for as a surprise for a friend and fellow artist, Aya. Sketch and photoshop.

Repose. Similar method as 'Burn', this time the photograph background lighting stuff was from the side of a building. Art & character Arphalia ©2004 Arphalia.

ar-tizzrahcommish.jpg - 2002-10-22
Ink doodle to break in a small new sketchbook. If anything, it helped start to pull me out of this art rut.
ar-umbrella.jpg - 2003-07-21
Unruhe. Of course, now that I try and upload the other version it shows up all broken. ;_; Its halloween and I think the spirits are playing tricks with me. c_c Art & character ©2oo4 Arphalia.
ar-unruhe.jpg - 2004-10-31
Second commission done for Tizzrah. (Tizzrah and Vensik are © their creators.) Done in ink and colored pencils. Taking more commissions again through Furbid, all of which will be about to be found here: http://www.furbid.ws/cgi-bin/auction.pl?justdisp&Arphalia
ar-ventizzcom02.jpg - 2003-01-29
Detail of the second commission done for Tizzrah. With the background, if full size you just don't get a good look at the actual characters. This thing looks a lot better IRL. *pout*
ar-ventizzcom02detail.jpg - 2003-01-29
Colored pencil, black ink and glass gems. One of two things that sold at Midwest this past weekend. The Siamese original will probably hit Furbid this week at some point.

Monochrome badge for Ashryn. (Don't worry, I'm not about to flood the archive with badges, just the two here that somewhat stand on their own for time and effort put in.)

Arphalia, my nickname, alter-ego, or whathaveyou, is seen here in his typicalness... (In other words he's kinda goth, but with an edge.) Done in inks.
arph1.jpg - 2000-03-23
An older pic of Zenithe that I still rather like. Sometimes it feels art comes in chapters of style or skill. This one, I feel was the start of one of my art chapters. He's done in colored pencil, the wrap around blanket in marker. I think this was one of the first tries on mixing marker and pencil in the same picture. The method kinda stuck. ^.^

This kitty didn't have a personae when she was sketched. Then the coloring of the eyes came out purple. I call her Violet, for obvious reasons. She is done in pencils while her wrap around has the same, with an undertone of marker. I rarely do the 'normal' thing and put pencils over markers, though here I think it called for it. Usually I do the reverse, for me it gives a more smoothe and painted effect.

A new approach in inking, making some outlines different colors other than typical black. This image of the siamese cat in red is © me. Mediums used are inks, colored pencils and markers.
arph14.jpg - 2000-04-07
A somewhat abstractish art trade with Ashryn. Done in inks. L'Himby is © Ashryn, art and Arphalia is © me.

Halloween in April? Why not, they have Christmas in July. Anyways, this was done for the Florida Fur's halloween party as little posterettes for the event. Went for old b-movie/deco horror poster look. All in markers and pens.

Arphalia in a cup of espresso. Work inspired. Free coffee means I drink too much coffee.

Scan of a commission of a gypsy ocelot I did back around the holiday season but just now got around to resizing.
arph19.jpg - 2000-05-05
Inspired by the RP between my bat character, Iona, and a friend's wolf-bard character, Avatar. Done in colored pencils with some markerings.
