@Proton, that sounds doable. 

Now a multimedia submission!

The prince, from my game. My first time drawing a skinny dude! A teenaged skinny dude.  WIP.

 

[Simon D. Aelsi]

Time for some artwork.

In appreciation for someone helping me a TON on Lantern, I decided to make 'em into an NPC.  Yes, that is a cat.
No, that is not who you might think. Think again.

Think I'll make him into either a blacksmith or a really buff artist. .  .  .

Newly redesigned prince! Princey is now an exotic, tropical prince from a faraway land... and is actually believable!

Changes: Prince now has garment covering his bare chest (Because even in the desert, it gets pretty chilly) Not pictured here.

And this is what he now looks like. A far cry from the stifled RTP appearence he once had, hm?

Just a sketch but I'm quite proud of this.

Yes, that is a bare midriff type thing he's got going on.

When I draw again when I'm not dead tired, I'll perfect the outfit.  I'm fairly pleased with the sleeveless exotic thing, though.

Next thing I'll work on are the eyes. He's to have a mysterious expression about him, almost a fierce one. However, despite this, he'll still be kind, polite and just a bit bashful.


Annnnd he already has a top quality voice actor. As to what he sounds like, that's my little secret...

His shoulders and chest feel too big for his arms, maybe? And his bottom half might be a little too small, too. I think the proportion is better on the before picture, in the face too. Somehow... Hm. But it's still good.

The before picture was too RTP/Standard for my tastes, and I had wanted to take him into a more exotic direction anyway. 

He's wearing a cloak of sorts which fits loosely over the shoulders. Also the top garment is very loose which can give the appearance of the chest being too large. Another reason it looks off is because the closer arm is too small for the body, despite him not being hugely muscular. I'll fix that soon.

The face, yeah... This character's face has given me a lot of trouble. I'll fix that later when I'm not dead tired.   This is still a rough work in progress and I do plan to fix it so that it's better. Thanks for stopping by, glad you enjoyed it!

And now... for some more music.

An organ Solo of Ah, my Aching Memories! on the mighty Deathswallow Organ.

A guitar solo written for a friend, and also the theme to a character from Tale of the Cursed Lantern.

Me playing my flute.

Another guitar solo for another video game.

More flute playing on my voice acting account. I oftentimes like to play before a recording session. I'm playing "I'm Still Here!"  It's become a personal theme of sorts.

I wish oh, yes, I wish I could make music like you do. Hahhaha My favorite passion is Utau, but someday I want to be able to compose music for my Utau to sing to. You're really good at that... I see now with the clothes. I have problems drawing bodies myself and I hope to increase my proficiency in drawing anatomy. But somehow I can look at art and see what is "off", but have troubles myself in fixing my own? It's strangely odd. 

 

[Simon D. Aelsi]

^ It makes sense. When someone tells you "You can't critique me because you can't X yourself" is troll bait.  Answer with "I have eyes, don't I?"

So that's what I figure... You have eyes, so you can tell what's wrong. I take constructive feedback where I can get it!

 

[Simon D. Aelsi]

And Prince Nico is fixed!

Spoiler

... and I forgot an eyebrow. =_= *dies*

Edit: I'll need to fix this again...   Well, I AM learning. I'm proud of how far I've come, and I'm excited to learn more.

 

[Simon D. Aelsi]

More music. This tune is for my game and is my current favorite.

This is originally an ancient hebrew lullaby. the melody is so old it's public domain, so I arranged it.

The original melody is very melancholy and somber. I tried to echo that here.

Please enjoy.

This is a battle theme that was inadvertently themed to a spanish conquistador-type theme.

Oh boy. It's been a while, hasn't it?

I present to you a newly-overhauled virtual organ (called the Mighty Deathswallow Organ, after the artist who helped create a look for it!) with another rendition of my character theme: I'm Still Here!

 

[Simon D. Aelsi]

Longtme from-the-grave update:

I'm back! (Sort of..... Just for the music and voiceovers!)

This thread is for the music, or updates about projects my music is in.

Also, here is my new spiffy music portfolio preview (A demo!)

 

[Simon D. Aelsi]

New music!

It's been awhile and I've been practicing. Keeping myself sharp.

This one was dedicated to a friend for his birthday! He's pretty happy and upbeat, so I wanted something that would reflect that. Both he and his God-Father (Also a friend of mine) are great people and I'm thrilled to be able to call 'em my friends.
