Well, I used to have a thread here with some of my doodles, but the forums got redone, and I never bothered to repost. Here's some of my stuff, some of it is old, some of it is fairly new. Tomorrow, I'll be posting the letter I sent to mug as well.
To start off, here's a REALLY old request pic.
Ink on paper, colored in Adobe.
Kirrei was an old friend of mine, and he liked to roleplay as a neko. So that's how I drew him.
Kaili, another old request pic. Also ink on paper, colored in Adobe, with effects added from Bryce.
Linuxkiddy, with a sword that's probably more suited for a warrior. =P
This is one of my oldest nexus pictures, it was a request pic for a character named Hatkakashi, a Naruto fan (Hence the headband, which was part of the request.) This one is a few years old.
Saera with her bloodbane. Marker on paper.
I realized that I should probably stick these in one post...
Mushy! Ink on paper, colored in Adobe.
xKalix, request pic.
Sharpies on paper.
OeilDuTigre, Prismacolor on rough paper.
Songa! Prismacolor on rough paper, with one of my old digital photos in the background.
So Saera, what would it take to convince you to do a portrait for moi?
*smiles really cheesy*
Back off! She's mine!
*shoves Eruco away*
OUCH! *mutters* Its Eru...
While they fight, draw MALLARD!!!
<-----------------
Here's what I sent to mug.
LOL thats great... i love the peasant garbs and everything, it's perfect! hahaha mug will 'laugh here' when he gets that
'can we get some itamz that pwns'
Saera, curse you! Now I won't win =p
Sooooo as a consolation prize, I'll take an infinitely awesome portrait, since you crushed my childhood dreams of... uhh.. winning the... mug contest?
>.> <.<
My, all these accomplished artists here. Makes me jealous! Someday, I must learn to create things in this sort of style...or at least get more spare time to fool about in Lightwave. *sigh*
Truly awesome! I'm so jealous and envious! Great work!
Ooooh that mug one is so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!!!!
Those drawings are awesome!
Sorry. I know Songa bugs you about this all day long but -- Why aren't you a Muse yet?
COUGH. Anyway. I absolutely ADORE the one with the sharpies! It makes me want to cry on your shoulder a little bit. [awkward silence]
this one make me smile and laugh.
i have find picture frame for it now.
i really like it thank you.
Saera (my love),
A pic of you and Genica would look ever so lovely
<3
Your talent is amazing!!
Yay mug got my cartoon!
I'm sorry about the poor quality of the scanned pictures, my scanner is like 7 years old... I really need a new one. >_<
You artwork is truly amazing and inspirational, Saera. I wish I could work half as well as you in markers or prismacolors, but to be honest I just can't seem to figure them out! My hat's off to you. You are a truly talented soul, and I look forward to viewing everything you do in the future.
[dance]
o/` I got a picture and I didn't even assssssssk!
Hahahah suckas. Jealous?
anywho.

Hey Saera, how do you get the streak of shine, sort of like a halo, going through your drawings' hair? Like with the picture you sent to mug, how do you put that shine in? Is there some filter in photoshop? I can do it but it takes a long time and doesn't look as good as that.
I'm sure there's more than one way to get that effect, but I do it by hand, using smudge tools and a mouse.
They look amazing. And oh so adorable.
I love how the male noob's short-shorts are like... giving him a wedgie.
All of them are great but I really like the Kaili drawing, and the Mug comic thingy. Those are really good. That Mug comic thingy should be on the Nexustk webpage, oh and if you will please explain how you made that one.
The mug cartoon started with a pen and ink line drawing that I scanned. Using Adobe photoshop, the next step is to block in colors, and then shading with 3 different methods. This is done on a single layer (because it's more natural to work with one layer for me) using the appropriate modes to prevent too much overlap. Detail work is done with the gradient tool, smudge tool, burn/dodge, blur, and sparing use of Alienskin filters (DreamSuite is high quality, but it's not very user-friendly, and the same results can be achieved by hand with some tinkering.) The background is worked in on a seperate layer, after transparency has been established in the top layer. I find the magic wand set to 32 or higher (antialiasing on) works just fine for this, but sometimes it's a good idea to zoom in and go over it with the eraser tool to fine-tune afterwards. I do have a Wacom tablet, a fairly large one, that has been collecting dust under a stack of papers for about... 2 years+ ... I hate it. Could never get used to it. I use a cordless optical mouse for everything, and it suits my needs fine. Hope that helps. o_o
Wow...
Pick me!
Got bored the other day. Mixed media. ^-^
I think the phrase is... "uber good".
I got two hot Saera pictures, that I didn't even ask for!
I win.
owned.
I am seethingly jealous of your ability to use Prismas.
Your colouring is beautiful!
I thought Saera was going to draw me.
i cry here.
If you ever get bored enough, I would absolutely love it if you drew my character for me, hon. I'd repay you any way I could!
Wow. Yeah. Seriously. You pwn face.
Nice work Saera =p
Keep it up!
I've been wondering what with the bar codes at the bottom?
Good drawings
Nirvana, I think its her kind of a Signature, So everyone knows its Her drawing and if someone tries to pass it off as theirs, and recognizes the bar code, it wouldnt work well.
Either that or the paper shes using has it on there and she cant get it off, No clue.
Makes sense
I would think that it is an intentional signature, because it's not like she can't get the barcode off, it'd take 30 seconds with any image editing program to remove it
The barcode is my signature. I've been using it for years.
GAH SONGA. I'm sorry. I just saw my newest pic on a normal LCD monitor, and it looks so washed out...>_< I have a super-bright gaming LCD at home, and it shows colors as more vibrant than normal LCDs... I need to remember to compensate for that, since my scanner is a complete poc.
Winder is in the works! HE WILL BE FIERCE!
Fierce? Intimidating? Winder, QUIT FOOLING YOURSELF!!!!
SilentS isn't boring...he just stays couped up a lot in his circle.
And people have got to stop embellishing Winder's Ego.. IT'S BIG ENOUGH!!!
Not to hijack the forum: Can't wait to see more artwork Saera <3
Saera, your art rocks, I MUST have one of Eru... Name your price. No seriously, name it =p
Guys, keep this is PM, stop hijacking her topic, and no Winder, you aren't intimidating over the internet, so everyone just keep this nonsense in PM.
Saera, keep up the good work
I got some new paints, and decided to try them out. There aren't many colors, but oh well. it's DarkDragon.
Beautiful.
pic plz
Inspired by a Baram screenshot I saw. They have hairstyles and colors kinda like that, and even butterfly wings. *Hints at Kru*
Oh wow. That's adorable!
*grins and proceeds to send nudges in KRU's direction*
Saera I'm in awe with your talent. Wonderful artwork <3
me me me me ME!
Beautiful work, Saera. I love the personality you give your drawings. DarkDragon's pic is gorgeous
Great work. Hope to see more.
Hey everyone, sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. My scanner broke and I just today got a new one. Here's a belated holiday pic of Aeroth! It's done with prismacolor, and mounted onto textured cardstock.
Raaaaaawr!
Beautiful art work.
It's so cuuuuute! Makes me want to color mine more.
Thats pretty good!
It's so cute! Make me wanna pinch his cheeks!
Pumpkin hair dye! Prismacolor on digital background.
Thank you everyone for your comments, I hope to start drawing again now that I have a new scanner.
I always wanna see how people view me... Haha
I'd really love to see what you can do with me.
One of Saera's latest pieces of art... my avatar!
Sarea you are too leet for words
Love your drawings, they're stunning.
Saera's pretty stunning herself, too!
Pft, gurl, you bettuh back off mah woman.

<3.
Haha,
Just so you all know...
Saera is all mine!
Alright Saera, time to post some new art, this forum thread has been dead too long, and I'm the only one who gets to see your amazing art!
Everyone who agrees post here and guilt her for depriving you of her wonderful drawings!
Heel, boy.
-Falaris
lol
In Memory Of Cup
ASCII:
I will be posting some art soon, at the request of my lovie.
Here is my lovie's character, Aeroth. It's the same picture, colored by hand and with the computer. I tried to illustrate his cuteness!
I love my Aeroth!
His cuteness, or his massive washboard abs?? Either way, I'm all for it!
Hahaha, Aeroth has Down's syndrome!
Seriously, though, his face is kind of messed.
Awesome! Gotta get that shrunk and in my profile. I personally like the face, not quite as Anime or cutesy as her other drawings. She posted it at my request, and I'm happy with it. Looking forward to more art!
last pic of aeroth kinda reminds me of the carpenters.
anywho, great pictures saera! so jealous of your artistic ability.
Oooh Saera your work is amazing. We have some truly talented people playing Nexus. I would die for some of your artistic ability (ok well maybe not die.. but you know..!) So, so awesome! (:
