Astaia666 Returns with 6 Stunning Heroes!

Hey guys! I wanted to post his up yesterday, but I was out all day at a the 30th birthday party for a buddy of mine. While on route I found my old 1982 recording of Fantasia I bought on E-bay a few years ago and popped it into the player. It's funny how Astaia666s art always melds so well in my mind with classical music. I wasn't listening to it for a few seconds before images of hers started dancing to the music in my head. I was met with an uncontrollable urge to do the blog right then and there, but ha, that's hard to do while going down the highway at full speed. There is always a very classy feel and look to her designs and I am very excited to present her latest to you today!



I let Astaia pick through a few of the boys featured on this site. Being from South America she confessed a fondness for the Mayan characters brought to life by Lastmanouthere and myself. So she took on three of them. She started with Ixy and Nehme. Both turned out splendid. Nehme is beautifully decorated with his costume and given such smooth legs by her! XD I like how he is ready for battle posed on a grassy sand bank, perhaps awaiting warriors from across the sea! His face is so wonderful with his thick bangs and little stings of hair escaping below the helmet, resting just above his sexy eyelash laden eyes. ^0^



Next is firm strong Ixy! Posed as majestic as the mountain range he stands before! His long slender face is just to handsome to describe. He can take on any evil with the love of his land burning in his heart.


Finally she took on Janatu, in one heck of a stunning image. The canopy here is just amazing, with the light hitting the tops, darkening underneath giving the hero much wanted cover. That little Tucan is so cute! Janatu with his full lips so pouty and eyes so lovely, surveys the area with the air of a classic jungle hero. His hiair is so slick and full looking! Her take on Janatu is simply divine. Each one of these could pass as a cover of adventure romance novel from years ago. :)



Astaia also took on two of my Egyptain men. She drew Heru striking a pose seemingly crying out defiance to the very heavens. Lighting strikes back in anger at the young man! EPIC! She did a very lanky design for him, giving him a lighter body which would aid him in flight. She did a wonderful job on his beard and the his hair. He has a very Grecian Egyptian look to him, which is pretty sexy!



After the bird man, she produced this very cool image of Twinky Tut taking a step forward into the frame, to protect better the dangers facing Egypt Land. In his hand his sword laughs manically. This Tut I liked a lot cause, here he appears more grown up, tall and strong, ready to take on anyone. His face, with his pronounced nose and blue eyes will freeze his enemies in place!
She colored his soft golden skin so well too! :P




Finally Astaia666 created an untamable Steko, with long flowing GORGEOUS hair! He's posed against the wall of some deep dark primordial cave, a smile crossing his face. Maybe he is stretching out, bracing and awaiting the welcome advances of his lover. Maybe he is on display about to perform a nights entertainment of dance to keep his fellows minds off of the fears awaiting outside the cave. Whatever the explanation, his form glows with brilliance in this cold dark vision from the savage past.

Thank you Astia, your art always opens up my imagination!

Astaia666 is still open for commissions, so check her out here:

Naldeep the Embalmer and gifts for my Buddies...FallenAngel and Ink-B

Naldeep is the best Embalmer in all of Egypt. He's so good he can whip a brain out of a nostril in one slight twist of his wrist. He is about 16 years old, has a slim build and has always had grey hair. Naldeep wears much more covering then the other characters in the series. He also sports a lot of Ankhs, a symbol of life and immortality. Naldeep was created to be a love interest for Jamun. He has a huge crush on her and would do anything to get to know her better. Jamun is unfortunately uninterested in anyone who makes an average living. (Plus the whole touching dead bodies all day thing isn't working much in his favor either.)
Naldeep is a quiet and shy young man. Dealing with the dead constantly has driven him to seek comfort in the strangest of things. His constant companion is his mummified Nile gator Snappy-tep. He often places him on his shoulder, or carries him around and still talks to him as if he is alive. The other cast members are often left wondering if the thing is truly dead as dust, or not. A master of the macabre, knows a lot about the undead and the underworld. This is of great interest to Fatep. She often calls upon him for assistance in her adventures. This is all good for Naldeep, as it means he might be able to get close to Jamun.

This is Fallenangels spectacular take on him:




He took my sketches and truly gave him life. I was totally blown out of the water by this one. Just look at the amount of details in the background. Fallen had way too much fun here! The store sign is just too funny. :P The book is perfect. I was just looking for a nice profile picture of him and as always Fallen went above and beyond adding in Snappy-tep. He drew him much bigger and more plush in appearance then I had drawn up. I like this a lot. I makes him much more cute and huggable. ^o^ I like Fallens idea of Mummu taking on a part time job to model in his store window. Today he is in for repairs... :) He created the perfect work environment for Naldeep! Thank so much man.
I could not have wished Naldeep to come out any closer to my original design. He's awesome.

Well because FallenAngel has done so many characters for me, I wanted to create something for him. He likes the younger characters so last night during my drive home I came up with this little guy I call Twinky Tut.




This young man was blessed with an eternal tan and golden blond hair. He is an excellent warrior, master swordsman and an expert Falconer. His weapon is the dapper Damascus sword. A magical weapon the seems to be smiling constantly. He would love to usurp Pyis in the Palace Guards and even marry Fatep. He soon learns he is adored by woman and becomes a bit of a celebrity. (Three woman constantly follow him.) He is full of himself and a total show-boater. He is quick on his feet. He is so adored that if he faints, someone will always be there to catch him. ;) His sparkling gold loin cloth is a thong in the back... He has a soft down of white hairs on his bum. :P

Ink-B and I are fans of Sean from Street Fighter. I wanted to get a little something for him, so I asked Demona to do up a cute Chibi for him. She had a wicked idea for Sean and as you will see, made one spot on adorable Chibi!!! Thanks Demona! :)


Flip the bird to what ever brings you down Ink-B! :P
This Chibi has a lot of nice details in the shading and stuff. I really like how the finger nails were giving a bit extra care. ^^ Sean is really naughty here...he reminds me of a Koopa Kid for some reason.

More to come soon!
