Most of the artwork in the Image.Archive was hand-drawn,
scanned in, and colored with Adobe Photoshop, using a mouse.
No stylus.
Sira Photo 15 (jpg, 80 kb)
This picture was actually drawn in April of 2000, but
I never did get around to coloring it. I added a lot
of detail too! Darn. I'll have to make a new one for
Sira's fourth-year anniversary. Added 1 January 2001.
scrap/sira17.psd (jpg, 69 kb)
A "scrap" character art of Sira, created for
the opening page of Aquarium Version Seven (this one).
Added 28 August 2000.
scrap/sira14.psd (jpg, 52.0 kb)
A "scrap" character art of Sira, used for
the Three Year Anniversary index art. If you look closely,
there's a tribute to System Shock 2 8-) Added
25 March 2000.
Sira and Frank (jpg, 137 kb)
A CG of the two main characters of Defender Sira in
their ASO uniforms. Still a few proportion problems
here and there. Added 1 January 2000.
Quolth (jpg, 69 kb)
I just felt like I needed to do a decent CG art of Sira.
This is by far the best, imho. Although I think I went
airbrush-happy and made the suits look a little too
shiny, I think it's decent enough. The normal-sized
1641x1200 I worked with is here (dsphoto11.jpg,
198 kb).
Sira Moves to Spaceports (jpg, 64.8 kb)
Done in old Xoom page to tell visitors that I've moved
Sprite's Home to Spaceports.
Big Jumbled Happy Splash Screen! (jpg, 162kb)
Craaazy jumbled splash screen I did. Yes, it's also
outdated :-P Notice that Harris is holding what looks
to be a hot dog, but is actually that girl's bow-tie.
One-Year Anniversary (jpg, 80 kb)
This image was created in 1998 commemorating Sira's
first birthday.
Sira and Frank in Allied Transport Intar (jpg,
97 kb)
This was the very last "photograph" made in the old
series. Here, Sira uses the computer joystick as the
turret control.
The BOOKMARK (jpg, 22 kb)
This bookmark-size image is a must-have for every Defender
Sira fan! (all two of you)
The Outer Café (jpg, 61 kb)
Again, an old image where Sira and Frank are talking
together in Halcyon's cafeteria. This was created in
Jasc Paint Shop Pro 4, before the program supported
Layering functions.
The images here were still hand-drawn and scanned in, but
were colored in Jasc Paint Shop Pro version 4, before I learned
how to use Photoshop.
Sira Inside the Sandiar Ship (jpg, 50 kb)
My most favorite original image. Sandremeen used to
be called Sandiar (until I learned about the real-life
Sandia Laboratories).
Frank's Party (jpg, 35 kb)
Is Sira anorexic? Don't ask...
Snow in Bristown (jpg, 67 kb)
My very first image with shading and more than 256 colors.
Team 96 (gif, 23 kb)
The very first Defender Sira "photo" in color. In fact,
this was colored in Klik & Play!
Defender Sira (gif, 13 kb)
This was the very first Defender Sira pose. Period.
I hope you've enjoyed seeing my progress in drawing
skills :-)
