Darkfox's Various Art/Sprite Stuffs

[Darkfox]

Here I'll share some of my works and character refs.



Enrin Darvis of the Locusts, rides around on Langosta Grande



Red Rumor, one of DF's brothers and is very talkative. His power is hypnotic suggestion by eye contact. Also, his personality is inspired some by Deadpool.



Ares: Boss reference, form 1



Hera: Boss reference, guardian of Ares.



Ares Final Form



Gabrielle, need to draw her again. This is one of the saddest Shadowbeast stories. She's unable to get near any living thing because her power will wound and even kill any who get near her (though this isn't unfixable). She thus has no choice but to live a lonesome hermit life. She turns her back to people because looking at them directly focuses the energy on them.



Tanina the cenotaur (ceno meaning "wolf"). She's actually a half-enchant, part of her being human. She was originally a quadruped and despite being a half-enchant, she can't use magic. Instead her body absorbs it and as her body absorbs it, it also adapts to it making her stronger. Her front paws have always been flexible like hands and even in her taur form her front paws have the motions of puffy hands. Her fighting style revolves around her ability to attack with her front feet gripped like fists and her hands (in Taur form) and can lift herself up on her hind legs, attacking with her hands and front legs. She can also attack those behind her.

Personality wise she's thick skulled, can get confused on unfamiliar words, and is a bit of a tough girl. She is however loyal and forgiving, and doesn't like to kill anything. She's known to speak her mind, protect her friends, and is rather modest and timid in all actuality. She's quite known to be a caring person, be they beast or human, if somebody is nice to her, she feels obligated to repay them.



Spite in Perfection form. This is part 1 of a final battle with Spite before he becomes a total mess. This is Spite's only rational form where it actually states itself being a mistake, being formed of hatred that even it now detests.



Here's a WIP sprite I've had laying around. Need to finish this thing. >_<

Edits:













Revamp of a Fester's Quest sprites.

Avatars:



Davixun I made for opposite gender week.



Borg Dafauks I made for robot week.



With Borg Cube background.

i really like Spite and Grabielle designs. I am also interested in this boss thing you got going there; I've always like those kind of bad guys.

And your sprites, they always showed more commitment than mine xP

Thanks, and what do you mean? Your pretty good! XD Gabrielle is another of my favorites to draw. She's so tragic, but in that way, also so lovable because of it. And Spite was a long-time development. I changed the design multiple times. XD

The boss (Ares) actually have theme music too, done by RPG LORD/Eli. And yes, they are MP3. Pretty cool too. XD He's really improved on music. Well, to explain the boss, he's an entity that comes from Chaos, possibly a person who lost his original form or always was there. He's decided to bring order to all chaos and to destroy it by giving it certainty believing it to be the source of all suffering. Though he eventually because of this comes into conflict with the heroes, aided by one of his own:



Deimos, AKA: that scary purple floating eyeball thing with the deep voice that comes from nowhere. XD Deimos is a central hero. He's a being of fear, and he is based some on the idea that fear is a healthy thing, and being without fear is asking for trouble. Deimos tries to teach lessons in fear to prepare the others for what is to come and joins them in the battle against Ares, and his brother Phobos who I am yet to draw. XD

Look's awesome, bro. I dopn't remeber Ares from anythin you've show me beffore,but it looks awesome.

[Valiere]

I've definitely seen some of this.

But.....aaaaa! The bitey orb sprite! Love!

[Darkfox]

Here's a few more sketches:



Sir Malice, final battle in the Queen Hubris storyline. He was her knight until hatred took hold of him, now she has no other choice than to fight one who served her loyally.



A face of Garrison. An artificial lifeform created by Dr. Morro. Morro made him so strong and armored that not even he can unmake him.



Entitył is an alchemist character who is rather short, has a problem with his hair growing long, and is not quite human. He's the same being as his predecessors who do not originate from earth. He hates fun poked at his height, he hates being mistaken as a girl, and he hates being told what he can't do.



Nex, youngest of a Kamaitachi family, and head of family business ever since killing his own father in combat. They are kind of like a weasel mafia, with blades. I haven't quite got their form down right but I'm getting there. Nex has a slight Oedipus complex since he was spoiled by his mother, and thus was the inspiration of the combat between him and his father. The fight was because Nex thought that his father had exiled his mother and didn't know that she was actually sent off to clear her head (she's bipolar and has a regressive disorder, though when she comes back later she is much better). Anyways, I should leave this for a character biography. XD He doesn't love his mother in a weird way, he's just overly dependent on her since he's still young and was separated early.



Guh... messed up on her arm. She's supposed to have one arm on her hip but messed up there. She's the eldest sister of Nex's family and is from KK's first marriage. She has blades but has them withdrawn in this picture. She doesn't like to fight, really, and hates seeing the dead and dying. Be they human or demon, she'll try to treat the wounded and dying.

Look's awesome, bro. I dopn't remeber Ares from anythin you've show me beffore,but it looks awesome.

Thanks! Me and my abstract villains. XD

I've definitely seen some of this.

The biter enemies from Fester's Quest. I have not so fond memories of these dudes chasing me all over. XD All those sprites were 8-bit NES graphics, then I updated the shading and stuff. I'll probably add more frames to them too, to more modernize them.

[Felix-0]

ehehe. I like your drawlings. (Not only because I'm a furry, but also becuase they look cool,)  The top 2 I though was a Hollow from bleach. and #3 remindes me of a character from The new star ocean. :3

[Archem]

I'm *this* close to humping you, DF.

[RockJohnAxe]

Sorry Darkfox, been catching up on the Forum, im a few days behind. But damn!! i really like your characters, very cool and abstract me likes

[DedlellyDeth]

Furry art is too easy IMHO. Doesn't let you practice clothes too much. Those bosses look nice, but I guess I can't appreciate some of them.

[Valiere]

Furry art's not easy because of the clothes, it's easy because we humans aren't as attuned to the proportions of animals -- especially fictional animals -- as we are to other humans, which we see every day.

[Darkfox]

Actually at times I find it rather frustrating. Especially with beings that are unassociated with actual existing animals. I guess one of the difficult things is when I want to try expressions. I guess it takes a bit to imagine it, then put it down on paper. There's a bit more work in expressions, since it isn't just in the face but other things as well. And they can dress normal and work just fine. So the clothes argument is not necessarily true. Just because I draw mainly beast-human characters does not mean I value human characters less, I just don't have as many. Actually, I'm the type to humorously mix human and beast-human characters. XD I don't really favor.

Also, I don't care what anybody says, spriteing them is VERY hard! >_<

[DedlellyDeth]

Sorry 'bout that. I just meant the non-clothed ones.
Spriting is indeed hard.

Some don't need to wear clothes like Gabrielle, but can and do at times, but as a fitting-in sorta thing. Others wear clothes because they are not as fuzzy or are more cultured. It is variable on character, personality, and traits. But of course some MUST wear clothes or that'd just be... well... inappropriate? XD;;

[Felix-0]

Ehehe, I just can't plain draw with my hands in general. Sometimes I wish I had time to learn or just had the ability furst hand.
But I can do digital art, and I enjoy spriting from tiem to tiem :3
