Cal, the Metal Mage

Introducing Cal, one of the only real testaments to Exodus trying to scientifically create magic. Brought to Exodus after a bomb destroyed his home and most of his family, most of his left side was destroyed beyond saving, so the Exodus scientists decided to test their new bionic limbs on him. Having no original magic of his own, Cal's arm contains the genes that create magic in other mages, allowing him to harness heat and flame. However, he cannot use this ability in the other arm. Cal has a pretty large crush on Espril, but she's too curious about Loor to notice. Cal is the only mage that has successfully escaped from the Exodus compound for any period of time. However, he was recaptured and a self-destruct command has been placed into his bionic limbs to prevent further breakouts. Also, this is the last mage of the four main ones in my dream

Little note, the anime looking drawing of Cal is the first drawing I did of him, before I switched it to a more realistic style on the other two.

Loor

Well, this is Loor, one of the newest characters I've created. He's based off of a dream, as are many of my characters, about four mages trying to fight their way out of a science facility while their path is blocked by various enemies, like robots, fellow inmates, and even at one point, a black hole of some kind. Anyway, the power of these four mages centered on four rings, one for each person. One could control elements, one could heal and create barriers, another was a telekinetic, and then there was Loor, who didn't seem to have a power, except that magic didn't really effect him. Then, as they were facing the toughest enemy yet, which none of them could defeat, Loor stepped up. As it turns out, Loor was the Anti-Mage, a weapon created by the science group (which I later named Exodus) to destroy mages. He is not affected by magic of any kind, and is very difficult to kill. At the time, I wasn't sure how far his abilities ranged, but now I have a pretty good idea of how they work. Anyway, I never found out if Loor and the others got out of the complex, but it did make me want to make my own story for them.

Actually, Loor was never named in the dream, it was only later when I thought the name "Lore" would fit him. I changed it to "Loor" because it looked better and felt right. He had green hair in the dream, I swear.

This drawing of him was sketched first in pen, without any pencil sketches beforehand, and then colored with markers. I like markers because they make nice smooth colors, but they don't blend well and it is difficult to get a good skin tone. This may also be due to the fact that I have pretty cheap markers.

Also, on a side note, this blog seems to be turning into my art gallery. I don't mind, but I'd like to know someone saw this stuff.

My future husband?

Sometimes I really want to know who I'm going to marry. I want to know so bad, because I want someone to say "I love you" to me. That doesn't mean that I'm going to go and sleep with some guy because he says he loves me, but I want the guy who's meant for me to be here with me.

My dad jokes about it, saying that he has my husband already picked out. He's fooling around, but I know I have someone out there picked out for me.

Recently I've been having recurring dreams about a boy. Its not in the traditional sense, really, where I know him or anything, or even that he's the main focus of the dream, but the dreams usually go something like this: I'm somewhere, with a bunch of boys I know, who all seem to have a crush on me and want to be my boyfriend and stuff. I feel really uncomfortable and I'm trying to get away, and then all of a sudden, this boy walks past. For some reason, I want to see him, and he catches my eye and I think he smiles. Its weird because when I wake up I can't remember his face. I think he's blonde, though. We were even dancing this one time, but I can't remember what he looked like or who he was. The weird thing is that he usually isn't the main part of the dream, he's just sort of there. In other dreams where its about a boy I know and like, they're the main focus of the dream, but here, this boy just exists.

To myself, I kind of joke that he's supposed to be my husband in the future, and I kind of like the idea. Maybe if I ever meet him, then I'll fall in love. Nice thought, huh?
