Rubies and Mantles

An art blog. Monster Hunter stuff mainly, and my own creations too! I am a Hunter from the sunny island of Singapore, a musician by profession.

Hi everyone!

Since the genius Tumblr move of trowing itself trough a cliff in dec 2018, lots of accounts got censored, deleted, or forgotten. This post is for everyone out there, new or veteran, in the Monster Hunter community. Please reblog or share your info so we can see new accounts or the ones that survived. MH artists are more than welcome.

Thanks!

And remember to stay safe and wash your hands!

I composed a piece with Hunting Horn sounds 2 years ago, had the idea to make a video of it and now it’s done. Enjoy!

Caught in a traffic jam, so I did this. It’s been too long tumblr!

Hunting Horn and Charge Blade too actually. So annoying without those stars!

Qurupeco in Qurupeco S

I'm back! It's been close to a year, too much has happened. New house, a stillbirth, a surgery(my wife) and a lost surface pen. It was pretty tough financially and emotionally, but now all of that is over hopefully. Completing these pictures would not have been possible if my wife didn't buy me a new surface pen for my birthday!

So anyway, here's the Qurupeco, as "voted" from the good people at r/MonsterHunter.

Selected weapons:

Imperilude (HH)

Peco Igniter (H)

Strong Heart (B)

Pecocious Gun (HBG)

Introducing Player 3 and Player 2.

Amidst this busy period, I decided to take a break and draw my in-game characters. Player 3 has always been my character, but I created Player 2 fairly recently, to draw female armour sets. It then struck me how differently I played the 2 characters. So I used the different playstyles to create 2 personalities, and there you have it! Both characters exist in 3U, 4U and Gen.

Player 3: Face type 9, Hair type 28, Voice type 4

Player 2: Face type 16, Hair type 29(New. Used to be type 26, but it grew out in Gen.), Voice type 5

Female Velocidromes in Velociprey X

It has been awhile! I have been busy with Oktoberfest, writing arrangements for oompah band performances. But I did not forget, and have been slowly working on this. Female Velos! Sadly it’s the Blue Burst again, there’s no other Velo weapon for gunners. You can find the Male Velocidromes here. I thought of doing Cephadromes in Cephalos X next, but decided to ask: Is there any monster you’d like to see next? Some rules I set for myself, to encourage variety: Main species will wear S, subspecies will wear Z in general.

Male Velocidromes in Velociprey X

And here it is! Monsters wearing monster armour! First up is the Velocidrome, the very first large monster encounter in the first MH game. 

The blademaster Vdrome is carrying the Bone Katana “Dragon” while sporting a male Velociprey X armour. Gunner is carrying the Blue Burst(with both silencer and longbarrel).

Next up will be female Velocidromes! Looking forward to it!

So I’m finally in tumblr! Am starting a fanart series, which title shall be withheld for now. Here is the incomplete picture of the Velocidrome, can’t wait to complete it!
