Hello, Welcome to The World of Randomness Gibberish!
Um, I don't have much of an introduction... *Ahem*

This will be my art "blog." Take note that most of them will be original works. There will be some Amaranth Games-related stuff, but a few.

For new viewers traversing the many pages of "Herbert's Gallery of Fine Art," I will put links of the blog posts into the list below.

Since I don't want to murder the space, I will post my art into bundles/groups. Concerning the sizes... I've decided to provide image links!

^ Will edit this text later to make it less... clunky?

My deviantart account if any of you are interested: Zephyr999745

Your images cannot be seen. It says "this image has been removed" when I click on it to enlarge.

Ack... It worked during the preview...
It will take some time to work with image links.
(Why, photobucket?)

I'll just put links under the images for now.

Zorom didn't look goofy. He looks handsome-but-psycho-and-menacing. But who's the bearded man? Human-Ahriman?

He was the priest who keeps appearing in scenes with Zorom... I don't know his name.
He's a really forgettable character.

Oh gosh Maskedhood I am your biggest fan now. Such lovely art!

Thank you, Kirroha.

I saw your entry on deviantart and looked through your gallery. You have amazing art!

Haha, I don't deserve such praise - trust me, anime art is a lot simpler, so I admire your work tons more!

P.S. I appreciate how you drew Alicia in thighhighs. XD

Your details are really neat. :3 I love everything here!
One thing I might suggest is anatomy practice, though *dodges shoes and rotten tomatoes thrown at her*. But jokes aside, their heads seem a bit too big and even if the shoulders are proportional with the head, the way their arms exponentially shorten suddenly and how their bodies shrink bothers me.

:/ I will disappear swiftly before people start hating on me now.

@Kirroha:
You deserve such praise.
There are many ways to draw anime- It can reach a really sophisticated level. Rather it be line work, angle, colors... Each category has its own complexity.
For example: Mine was transformed from the basic anime style into a "soon-to-be mixture of anime and realistic" style.
Bleh, that wasn't much of a good example... But yeah.
And making games with your art... that fact there is amazing enough for a person like me.

@Wolfie_girl:
Thank you.
No need to hide, your criticism is appreciated.
My proportions are always off to some extent, only imagining the way it should be.
Since recently, I started to create anatomy references (from photos) for myself.
Still learning the ways of life~

That is the best things you can do. :3 I never actually liked drawing a picture from real life, but simply being more observant to details and to people as well as other people's styles helped me a lot.
(thanks for taking my criticism, by the way, you have no idea how many people feel offended by it D: )

But like I said, I love your details. The hair, the clothes folds, those are amazingly worked. :]

Drake, your art is wonderful. I loves that cake, and Talia/Alicia. They look awesome.

Thank you, An.

I'm not sure if I can post it here. It doesn't construct a "story," just a small collection. Mods, if I'm posting in the wrong place, move it or tell me please. Sorry and Thank you.

These are random poems or written pieces I've created for my creative writing/journalism class last year. super amateur level...
Behold, for the brainless horror I have unleashed!

Poem 1 "Dinosaur" [concrete poem]


Poem 2 "Desperation" [free-write poem]








Poem 3 "Mice Meeting" [free-write/metaphoric poem]


Poem 4 "Warrior and Villain" [I am (level 2) poem]


Poem 5 "The Triple Dagger" [grouped cinquain poem]

I LOVE your AP fanart. Not many people draw AP stuff. I think my favorite is either the Talia and Alicia one or Talia looking at the sunset.

And those poems were interesting. I could never write anything to conform to a shape like that.

Thank you EsmeAmelia!
A lot of people seem to prefer the Talia and Alicia one the most.

As for the poem, you can just write the description down, then arrange the words into a shape/picture with them.
If the word is too long or short, then change it.
From what I see from some concrete poems is the lines don't rhyme. I don't know if that is true.
