Literaphobia - Little Demigod
An Aniaitan Starcatcher.
In the lost mythology of the desert planet Aniaito, there were brother Gods for each of their two moons. The children of Sibuna, the elder brother, were half-God creatures called Starcatchers who were responsible for plucking stars out of the sky at daybreak to rest and re-releasing them by nightfall to play. They inherited a gift of shapeshifting from their father, and after time, the naturally curious Starcatchers began to mimic the people of the planet and lived side by side with them. Some fell in love, married, and procreated with the people of the planet, adopting their disguise as their true form.
Long after the death of the Gods and the people took to living underground, there are still those who feel that their real place is elsewhere. They still find their way to the surface at night, gaze at the sky, and feel a deep longing tugging at their hearts.
But they always wonder why, never to have their answer.

Literaphobia - Backdraft
Penumbra in fire. Done in Photoshop CS4. This is probably one of my favorite things I've done all year so far. Which is a shame, because it's not entirely finished.

Shoulder-sized Uyraies and Penumbra. Just messing around in Photoshop.

Literaphobia - Symbiosis II - Origins in Flame
A sister piece to http://www.shadowness.com/art/16171
But I like this one better, to be honest.
These are different characters than the ones in the first 'Symbiosis' piece, but they are certainly related. Literally.

Pen and colored inks on illustration board.
(Dec 2007-Jan 2008)

I love the Seraph's wings.

Literaphobia - Azure
The storm is finally clearing up.

Never did see a sky so blue.

A Christmas gift for my close friend Matt. It's his character Seiaryu.

If you know what 'Seiryu' means, you'll kind of get the title. Or you know, blue sky. Whatever works.

Ink on paper, then digital coloring in Gimp. (December 2007)

Literaphobia - Symbiosis-Two Sides of Fire
"Fire, incidentally, has two faces to it.
There is the gentle side. The Lightbringer. The warmth. The uplifting glow that gives energy, life, and passion.

Then there is the cruel side. Wild, indifferent, with an appetite that can never be satisfied. It will destroy everything that stands before it for its own gain, and those who survive its fury are left scarred forever by its burn.

The Seventh Child, as it turns out, is very much like Fire."

Watercolor and Micron pen on Illustration board. (December, 2007)

Literaphobia - Radioactivity
With image stock from here : http://zoestock.deviantart.com/art/BG-radio-towers-23178359
A combination of ballpoint pen, Photoshop CS2, GIMP, and meaningless escape tactics from designing a restaurant menu for my Graphic Arts class.

The layout is done and looks nice, I swear. It's the content filling in that I'm dreading. >>

Literaphobia - Page 1 - Consciousness
A few-years old story. I always wanted to make it in comic format.

Literaphobia - Mysterious Trees
I was fairly pleased with how this turned out when I did it.
It seems sort of messy and chaotic to me now, even though that was the original intent.
