[HD Artwork] Reah - Twin Goddess Sister (Ys Series) + old Ys Origin Version

Years ago I made an artwork of Feena, twin sister and Goddess of Ys. I wanted to redraw her, but then I realized that I never finished the artwork for her sister, Reah. So I drew Reah in my new style based on her design from Ys I & II Chronicles.

Her hair took an eternity. It was much simpler in her old drawing version, but I thought it would look better, if I play around with hair mo...

[Sketch] Loan Shark Captain Debit Jones (OC)

Cartel leader and captain of the Acheron Riverbank, a gigantic galleon that also serves as the headquarters of STYX, a large, shady banking organization of the underworld. 

Also the grandfather of Captain Sharkeira (So, yeah, her last name is Jones).

He has worn a regular captain hat with a dollar sign on it in my old drafts, but I decided to make his hair stand out by shaping ...

[HD Artwork] Molly Hale (Pokémon Movie 3)

Molly Hale / Mii Snowdon from the third Pokémon movie "Spell of the Unown".

My recent and almost finished commission. I was already about to do some artworks related to this movie myself, so this inquiry was a nice coincidence.

I am also planning on drawing Lisa and Molly's other transformations in that movie.

[WIP] Female Wii Fit Trainer & Workout Alear (FE Engage x Smash)

Color artwork of the Wii Fit Trainer. I want to put her together with Workout Alear in the final artwork. The pose for Alear came out naturally, I'm glad the illustration look pretty solid so far. I am only going to change the way she is holding her head in the next process.

I think I have to cha...

[WIP] Dai Phong - Celestial River Dragon Form (OC)

Superintendent Dai Phong in his awakened dragon form. Since the majority of my dragon OCs are magical girls, does that make him a magical girl, too?!

He was also initially the only serpent-like dragon among my dragon warriors.

This work will be part of the profile artwork collection and a variation to the illustration of Dai Phong's human version. I decided to take over his police g...

[Sketch] Tsu-Lin (Sentinel Armor) (OC)

I want to create a character gallery profile picture for Tsu-Lin and this is my early progress of her.

Only her upper body is done so far. I simplified her sentinel armor a bit, however, at the same time, it should still look like it could be a real uniform of an elite police guard. Her previous versions were already inspired by actual SWAT combat suits, and that was also the case for thi...

[GIF] Creation Process - New Year's Eve - Romani and Link (Zelda)

Reupload: Patreon had a tedious display error with that reel, so I re-uploaded it.

Different stages of the creation process of my New Year's Eve artwork with Link and Romani. It was originally a GIF but I made a video out of it since converting it into the mp4 format saves much data space.

Anna, a playable unit from the new FE game, Fire Emblem Engage. Still a work in progress, but I made a draft stage reel of the creation process already.

[Sketch] Captain Kebab (OC)

A food-themed pirate captain. I came up with the character's design around the same time, when I brainstormed the design for Sharkeira. Initially the latter was the one who was wearing doener-related clothings and used kebab knifes as weapons, but it felt a bit too alien to me since it didn't fit her fish theme which I wanted to convey much more

The hat should resemble a doener bread, whi...

[Color WIP] Angelic High Priest - Dwinity Dainslef (OC)

Dwinity, student council president of the St. Gloriya Academy and an Erlmaiden of Light.

I redesigned her hundreds of times, but for the first time, I feel that I nailed her appearance I envisioned for her for once. There are still many corrections and details to make. She also has white wings, actually. In her earlier designs her hair is parting, but after many iterations I think this ha...

[Sketch] Stewardess Berry Muda

One of my first drafts of my character Berry Muda, a stewardess of the Skywhale Zeppelin.

This is just for some first impression, but I'm still going to undertake a lot of tweaks and changes with her design. She should convey NPC vibes, so her stewardess outfit can include some unique traits,  but the overall look should still be simplistic enough so that she doesn't stand out too mu...

[HD Artwork] Tricera Cazadora - Character Database Entry Portrait (OC) [No Watermark]

Redesign of my OC, Tricera Cazadora, the prehistoric-themed mercenary.

She was designed as Leroy's rival and arch-enemy. My main concern about her old design was that it lacked energy somehow, and it bugged me that the most interesting aspect about her name (that obviously came from the term Triceratops) wasn't reflected in her design. I wrapped my head around that issue and ultimately th...

[Sketch] Pyrodancer Detona Bakudango (OC)

An old OC of mine that I wanted to re-design. This current version still need some tweaks, but I am already satisfied with the direction.

I forgot to add the fuses to the balls she is juggling with, since they were supposed to be small bombs.

Detona is a kunoichi and a fire specialist who is working as a minstrel for a circus, and she sees Chaudine as her rival.

This redesign ...

[WIP] Lilly Satou (Katawa Shoujo)

Lilly Satou, a blind girl and one of the heroines in the Visual Novel Katawa Shoujo. A nice reminiscence of the old 4chan days, where VNs were still a freshly new meidum for many western anime fans.

On-going commission. This is in fact my very first artwork where I combined both my clean thin lineart bruch and my sketchy thick brush which I use for stronger linearts.

[Lineart Sketch] Superintendent Dai Phong | Guard Master (Tsu-Lin's Sensei in his Police Uniform) [OC]

Some of you may already know that Tsu-Lin is a police officer and special unit sentinel. Her master works at the same police department as the First Division Chief of the Moon Night City Police Department.

I never drew his clothes properly, so I want to finally give him a colored version. I want to make him stand out more with his police uniform.

[HD Artwork] Pirate Girl Captain Sharkeira (Full Res + No Watermark)

Do you still remember her? I gave her a paper boat like captain hat back then. I scrapped that version because I did not like the shape of her hat. At the end, I eventually went with her hat-less and with hair that resembles a shark fin.

I like strong edgy shapes, especially when it comes to the character's hair. Now I feel more comfortable with her current design. The only thing that sti...

[OC Sketch] Vigora Kaltstahl

Lady Kaltstahl without her armor. She is wearing a party dress. It is a sketch of a short story scene.

She has some kind of connection to the black griffon, so I gave her some decorative black feathers as hair accessories.

Happy New Year! (Updated 1.1)

Belated Happy New Year, everyone!

I was pretty busy around the end of the year until New Year's Eve since some relatives and also friends came to visit me and also stayed overnight over the days in my tiny flat, so I was barely able to be active online and was also only able to sporadically work on my projects and commission work over the last weeks.

After this long break, my urge t...

[Progress Reel] AI: Nirvana Initiative - Aiba and Mizuki as Santa Girls (Color WIP + GiF)

A Christmas related AI The Somnium Files fanart with Mizuki Okiura /Mizuki Date and Aiba. Cute Mizuki would look cute in santa clothes. That was essentially what I thought.

I replaced her pipe weapon with a candy cane  and thought it might fit her design well. Still want to take more time to refine her braids.

[Sketch] Young Cruella de Vil

A sketch for an upcoming crossover artwork with young Cruella and Monokuma from Danganronpa.

For now, I just wanted to explore the style for Cruella herself. I think it turned out great, and I'm probably going to stick with this style.

Another Christmas-related OC and also Yae Noelle's assistance and pet. also Officer Dai Phong's twin brother who lives very secluded in the snowy mountains as a hermit and likes to make gifts for the village children at the foot of the mountain.

He has a sensitive nose, which in his dragon form begins to glow red with the activation of his magical aura., mostly when he got slightly drunke...

[Progress Reel] Trails from Zero - Lloyd and the Seeker Sisters (HD Color Draft + GIF)

Sketch to color draft progress of my Trails from Zero fanart, featuring Lloyd Bannings and the two sisters, Noel and Fran Seeker. Inspired by a scene from the game, where both girls were going out with the protagonist Lloyd out of pity, since they thought he has gotten stood up by his date due to a misunderstanding.

I liked the casual clothes of the sisters and wanted to draw them.

[Progress Reel] Trails In the Sky SC - Death Angel Renne with her Family (GIF + HD Sketch)

A sketch of Renne, the mysterious little girl from the game Trails in the Sky SC. There will be two variants for this illustration later. A happy version and a much darker one...

I really wanted to draw her for such a long time. The last and only time I drew her before was for a Christmas artwork (which I also plan to redraw soon).

[Xmas Artwork] Santa Tatsumaki (One-Punch Man)

Tatsumaki from the anime and manga One-Punch Man as a santa girl. I drew the first version two years ago and decided to redraw it a bit, since I often wanted to sell this version as a print or post card, but ended up scrapping the idea, because the contrasts and colors weren't good enough in my opinion.

[Artwork] Yae Noeru the Christmas Jiangshi (OC) [1.0](Full version)

Updated version of my OC Yae Noeru. I changed her santa dress to a partly sleeveless design. Additionally, she got star-shaped earrings and a lightened candle on her hat to make her design more playful. She has a potential to make a good silhouette for all her illustrations late.

[Sketch] Christmas Jiang-Shi Yae Noeru (OC)

It's that time of the year again. A good time to finalize my redesign of my Christmas jiangshi Yae Noeru. I'm halting between two designs. One with a star on her hat and one with a candle. I will see how the colored end result will look like.

[HD Artwork] Bikini Kunoichi Yae (Goemon 64) [No Watermark]

I'm glad how her expression turned out. Yae is one of my favorite retro videogame girls. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon was one of my most influential games that shaped my love for all kind of Japanese stylized aesthetics.

The color of her bikini refers to her original ninja outfit. Certainly I will make a version that expand the view up to her hips at some point. From my artistic perspec...

[OC Sketches / Sepia Artwork] Summer of Love - Character Design Project Pt. 1

Character doodles inspired by my recent researches about the Woodstock 69 events and the summer of Love era. I watched tons of documentations, since I can remember it, and can't put my finger on it why I exactly started to develop a strong interest in this subject. I guess my parent's love for the majority of the music and a big records collection from that time might be very influential for sh...
