Encantadia (2016): The Four Sang’gres

Encantadia is a Philippine fantasy series set in a magical world of the same name. The story mainly revolves around the conflict between four diwata (fairy) sisters who are also the guardians of Encantadia’s four elemental gems. 

The characters shown above are the 2016 versions of the four main characters in their warrior costumes. They’re all kickass warrior princesses btw!

PS: Officially reviving this art blog by uploading new stuff!

And so I made fanart of Princess Eleanor from The Royals, my guilty pleasure. I seriously love this “bitch with money and power.” Never thought I’d get invested in this show.

I might actually revive this blog.

Si Nene sa may Dalampasigan ng Tondaligan (The Girl at the Tondaligan Beach)

Here's the story behind this picture. Last Decemer, me and my relatives were on our way home from Baguio and we stopped by at Pangasinan to eat lunch. After lunch we strolled by at the beach. I was at awe at the large waves when I noticed two little girls who were asking for money. I am always wary of people asking money so I kind of wished that they didn't approach me but alas. I really didn't have any money with me so I thought that they would go away after I told them that I can't give them anything. Noticing my SLR camera, this girl (in the photo) asked to have her photos taken. I was surprised but I obliged. I didn't direct her to pose like that. It was completely her idea. After seeing her photos, the girl smiled and then she left with her companion. 

As I left the beach, I slapped myself mentally for judging the girl when I first saw her while she only wanted her photo to be taken. I wonder if we would meet again just so I can give a copy of her photo.

Christmas 2013

For this year's Christmas greeting, this is my modified take on the parol, a traditional Philippine Christmas decor. (And yes, the guy on the middle is Myles, my mascot)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Elcia - Entry for Zeiva's Area-X Art Contest

Tried to do a different coloring style here. I hope I made it on time. Also, let's pretend that it was Livan (one of the game characters) who painted this

It has definitely been a while since I last drew something digitally. Consider this a WIP. And yes, this is still my OC Nathalie
