Gaia Online Avatars

I never actually used Gaia Online. I mean, I signed up on it, tinkered around on it for a couple days, then dropped it. Like most people, I think the big feature that grabbed my attention was the cool avatars one could make. Unlocking the parts, though, meant engaging on the forums a lot and using their various game features, which got old pretty quick.

Years later, I would stumble upon a free-standing Gaia Avatar Editor program, and decided to tinker around with it.

SLASH

Swan with scythe

This is Swan from the Intrepid. Funnily enough, I used to always draw her wielding a scythe, even though she never uses one in story. I just like the visual a lot for some reason.

Perpetua

This is Perpetua, a character I haven't done any real stories with, but was a frequently used character during my run of Character Creation Battle Tournaments. You can catch a recent profile of her here.

Blue Jay at Kansas City

This is Blue Jay from the Mystic Missouri setting, overlooking some ruins in Kansas City that have been subsumed by the Mist Wall. In the background you can also see Cardinal and Kestrel. All three are members of the Aevir, the resident powerhouses of the setting.

Graven Cast

This is the cast of my web novel Graven, which you can read here. From left to right, we have: Shoggoth, Hitchhiker, Strider, Earth Mage, and Max-Out. Hardest part, aside from making it legible, was making sure I got the relative height differences right, and remember all the hair and eye colors.

Old Sprite Comics

Decades ago, I had pretensions to attempt web comics of the sprite variety. I never did more than a one or two-pager thing. Loathe though I am to do anything resembling fan fiction on this blog, this is probably the only half-way decent example from back in the day.

And here's another one.

Sprite Work

So, I kind of like sprite art, but haven't done much of it myself. I'm also terrible at it. So now I'm gunna scar your vision with it!


So here are Flip, Moth, Moth's space ship, and Moth's portrait from the MothFip game I made with RPG Maker. Remind me to make a gif of these later, so you can see the animation. :P




Moth wearing a Mdavian space helmet. Didn't appear in the game.




This is Reimi, a character belonging to a friend of mine.




This is a group shot of the Intrepid hero team. Beowulf, Mythos, Arcana, and Swan appear in the first story. Meteora and Bakuryu were intended to appear and join in later adventures. I made these sprites with the restriction of fitting only within a certain amount of pixels, the way old video games used to. Other than Swan, they all manage to fit.

And lastly, here's some totally random stuff that doesn't tie into anything.

I should really do more of this stuff.
