Description What?!? Is that a half naked guy in my first deviation for 2007?

Told ya to expect the unexpected.
Well, actually, this is a very late Christmas gift for

Meet Elias and his daemon Uninhabited, or Habi for short. Habi is sort of Elias' familiar, who looks like a cross between a tarsier, monkey-eating eagle and mouse deer which he never parts with, else they both die.

Elias was inspired by the character from Noli me Tangere with the same name.(who happens to be also my fave) ^_^ I actually had to force myself to join a group report back in high school simply because I wanted to draw that infamous fishing scene from kabanata XXIII. And we both agree that for someone who could wrestle an alligator he really had to be butch.

I thought I'd start the new year with good 'ol lineart so I laid off any color. Hope you don't mind me posting Addy nasa sa yo na rin naman yung orig e

Wow nice. I've never thought of Elias as a muscular guy. I like El Filibusterismo, cynical ang dating ni Simoun ehehe.

Well like I said, if you can hold your own against a buwaya, you got to be packin'!

Yeah, Simoun was the new improved Ibarra.

What a lovely couple of cuties

By the way, I guess you've already been told that your artwork (which I adore, I may add) resembles a lot the one in "Monster Collection" manga... now I can't remember the name of the author

Thank you! Although it's the first time I've heard of Monster Collection. ^^, I'm guessing it's a modern sci-fi fantasy genre, no?

MizuGonJinn In reply to batangbatugan [2007-01-12 23:00:36 +0000 UTC]

Nope, it's much more traditional-oriented. Its author's art tends to be very accurate, almost classical, especially in anathomy and folds. It's a very lovely contrast between manga and academic art and I feel you're very close to it.

Me: DA FINALLY loaded for me @_@ I couldn't view it from the office for some reason. Some of the comments made me giggle, especially about Habi XD She's like the most uncoordinated little critter EVAR It's a miracle she's managed to stay on Elias' arm XD If this had been a photo, I think she'd fall in like two seconds after the flash XD

batangbatugan In reply to Warse-no-Miko [2007-01-09 13:39:19 +0000 UTC]

If you look closely she's doing her best to stay balanced even with one foot -er- hoof flailing
(notice talons digging on to his fist, the flailing wings, and the assistance from Elias' other arm )

Akala mo design lang yung naka spread na pakpak no?

btw, I'm having pronblems with da drom this side, too.

Glad to know that He was the only likeable guy in the novel, imo. Ibarra was... such a wuss

And also, he had a Salome and a lost chapter
