Whew, that was close. One more hour and 2009 would have been the first year in which I didn't do a single oekaki D: (since discovering oekaki, that is)

Hrm, this is one of those pictures that looks really crooked if I horizontal flip it. Too bad I was half done before checking that X-). Oh well, maybe nobody will notice if I don't say anything:-P

I don't know if the two characters on the left have been properly introduced here. On the far left is Novus, the wandering faun who has no fear, and next to him is Dungeon, the shy but talented durgan. They've been taking center stage in my imagination land for quite some time now.

And for those who don't know, the green guy is me, the orange guy is Chisai, and the old geezer is Zuki:-)

Happy New Year!

Very nice, Lava! I like that you gave your character your current hairdo, and cool new characters!

This is great, Lava. Like Twentyseven, I like how your character reflects your currrent hair style. Very cool. The new characters are awesome also. I like those big red eyes and freckles - they portray a very innocent look.

Happy new year!

I've always loved your images, Lava. The colors, the characters. I agree with 27 and Tsao on the hairstyle. Cheers to the new year!

"hoho, you're ffff'ed now; limit break! huzzah!"

Glad you like it Tsao. Consider it a pre-thank you gift for SAI. I'm gonna have to reward you well huhu..

Oh my god this is amazing...

I think I just watched the animation 10 times now. How you color will always bewilder me. The lighting is so strong. I feel like I could reach in and grab that nose on the demon.

Ah if only I could summon up my monster form in real life!

Thank you, Chim. It is so great to see your work again. I am inspired!!

Your oekaki powers are too great, Chim. This is looking fantastic!

Ah this is so incredible! I love how that left arm came out especially - wicked effects off the tattoo also! I don't understand how you are able to portray faces and characters so accurately with limited exposure. You have some sort of godly photographic memory :O

The features on the demon are so well rendered. The dimension in the month/tongue area bewilder me. Your color methods are so strong ;o;

Thank you!

This is fantastic. The tattoo is my favorite detail. Your shading is just perfect. I'm always so impressed by your art!
