Clan landscapes


So I finally got program to create Black Swan's clan map c:
Unfortunately because this app was on iPad it was a little hard to do in some parts, like I wasn't able to add buildings and well, not so easy to work with details.
but I think this is good base to start :3

First I want to show you how whole map, I'll explain in each picture which direction camera is facing
(e.g. N : north, NE: northeast etc. )



I edited this base (examples pics below) and I made in Photoshop this to look just like I really imagine the clan to be~

SW. Daytime and normal pretty weather c:  I added some characters and swans to show right scales
rest of pictures are my screenshots of clan, but sadly I wasn't able to edit lighting  after I started edit map
so pictures will show areas in bright daytime (what clan never look like, picture above shows real look so you can imagine same weather to rest of pictures)

N. Mountain for the castle (flat area on mountain). On left is pace for servants house, even though they also live in the castle, and on right is are for soldiers' dorm.
S. Village, place for houses and buildings
Click pictures to see them bigger.

SE. View from castle to village.    ||      N. View from village to castle

NE. Water-powered-swan's island     || SW. Deep spring (couldn't add rivers)

NE. Road from village to castle  ||    NE. forest road to the north 

SW. Misty forest      ||      N. Secret beach 

NE. Soldier's beach                        ||  NW.  East village and road to north
NW. Healers' forest || Clan underground.*


 * There is secret entrances around the clan to get underground, only some swans knows locations these entrances. (underground is connected to ground above, so try imagine there is not sky above, I might edit this to explain later ^^' )

This is all for now~
I will edit these later and try add some buildings~

Bone Anatomy - Harpy wing

I do have feeling I'll do muscles also with this style~

I don't really know what to type~
Human bones till elbow and then it changes to bird wing bones.

I liked the idea though, how wing would fold like how human would normally use their hands
I need to try get idea how to use this though~

Logos and drawings

I've wanted for a long time try design some kind of Logo for my Black Swans.
Keeping it simple and also making look good is hard, somehow I also would like to have own coat of arms for them. (That I'm definitely going to design someday soom!)

  • Logo
  • Watermark (have "Martza" in it)
  • Coat of arms
  • Business card
Here is some my old ones and tests~
Logo test, cute and simple~
My first watermark test, but sadly it's not clear enough to see

Black Swan King

I got lots of requests to draw Denka's dad, Reigi, who is king of their clan.
I was trying think for months what I make him look like, it was harder than I thought..
I had to make him a little bit like Denka, but manlier. I also got art block for any kind of designing so it didn't make it any easier.

This is how it came out;

I think I still need to learn how to draw adult people, or even a little older looking.

Here is how I draw details to wings:
(sorry dA watermarks~)

Lastly, if you are into BL, you can click [here] to see my 3 panel short "comic" of Reigi~
