September Projects 2025

August was not a very productive month because I was pretty busy with work and had some health issues as well. However, I will have more time to keep up with some projects and new ideas I have in mind during the coming weeks.


You can see below the projects list I've been working on these days and those I will try to complete by the end of this month....

June-July Projects 2025

[Fan-art progress report]

I am really surprised by how AI artworks have overtaken pixiv daily art feeds. AI generated illustrations look quite well each time I look at them and their inconsistencies or errors are surprisingly less noticeable. Although it may feel like a somewhat disvadvantageous competition in terms of time production, I think it can be quite useful to find posing and background ideas, color palette sources, etc.

This month I've been very busy and artworks hav...

April-May Projects 2025

I already mentioned during previous posts that due to some health issues I've been working with a slower pace these weeks. I decided not to take any commission requests for the moment until I feel better, which means I will only devote to personal projects such as the ones I share with you here.

January-February Projects

I am currently working at a slow pace due to some health issues. However, I keep trying to share the projects in progress with you. I won't be taking any new commission requests for the moment so I can take a proper rest.

You can see below the project list I've been working on during January and those I will try to finish by February. In this list, there are five fan-arts based on (A) [ボクの なつやすみ ヒミツたいけん] adult game; (B) [...

弥生おばさん Project

[Fan-art Project]

This illustration was inspired by one of NO. Chachamaru Sensei sketchy dojin scenes. Mature female characters he usually draws are really voluptuous, and expressive. The only issue is proportions. In this opportunity I decided to depict one of the h-scenes from [続・ママクラブ] game. The main star is 弥生おばさん, a nurse lady who appears at the beginning of the game and depending on your choices, you would get her ending with the main character [宏太]...

息子の野球チーム IV

This the forth illustration project I did from [山姫の実 夕子] series. I started working on it in parallel to a similar commission last year hoping to get close to the original characters' feeling.

Progress Report

This illustration is almost completed. I need to do some corrections to color shading, pen strokes and check body proportions. I just wanted to show you the way it looks up to this moment. I had lots of fun playing with other animated OVA's color palettes and b...

好美おばさん Project

[Fan-art Project]

One of 山文京伝 Sensei last works finally was published not too long ago. Although the plot did not move in the pace I expected, it looked good enough to wait for a continuation. I decided to work on a fan art based on the main characters. 好美さん is the only one who is shown on the dojin cover with colors.

I found some nice base references for the style and posing but I was not sure about the coloring of each character's hair color and clothing. I j...

ワンピース Project [Request]

This illustration is a commission request I worked during this month. I was asked to make a special scene with several characters in the same composition being Boa Hancok and Luffy the main stars.

Progress Report

This work has been completed. For the coloring, I looked for references from the original series but the posing and style was inspired by works from artists such as [アガタ] and [平成茶々丸堂].

息子の野球チーム A [WIP 6]

I started this project in December (2023) with the idea of sharing it during Christmas Eve. However, I was short in time and did not find good references for the posing and coloring. In fact, I still don't know what to do about the background.

By the way, this fan-art was inspired by [山文京伝] works. I am trying to use the character design style from artists such as [西安] and the one from [ダイヤのA] series.

Monsters of the Sea Project

[Fan-art Project]

This project was conceived long ago. I just happened to come across with one of the animated scenes from [吉野もみぢ] original games and decided to make a fan art.

The original game is called "Monsters of the Sea" and there are three volumes. If I am not wrong, this title was released in 2009. Unfortunately, the author did not continue with the plot. The animation was very smooth.

As a RPG-like story, I tried to make the illustration look a bit like ...

息子の野球チーム B [WIP 6]

This is another project inspired by [山文京伝] works. I tried to make an illustration based in a small panel from [山姫の実 夕子AFTER]. It's the scene when [良太くん] enters the room where [夕子] is "interacting" with his friends.

I used different references for each character. There was a cool colored illustration that made me think of [夕子] which has been very useful for the color palette. In the case of [良太くん] friends, I had a look at "Diamond no Ace" art...

January Projects

After some resting holidays I am back to continue working on the long list of projects I have in mind for 2024. I managed to complete some of the fan-art planned for December but most of them were commissions mainly.

ギレーヌ Project

[ Commission Project ]

This is a project I started around New Year's Day holidays. I was asked to work on a futa project starred by [ギレーヌ] & [エリス] from [無職転生] animated series. There is no way I could refuse such a project since I've long wanted to do some artwork inspired by Ghislaine.

Project Update

This illustration is completed but no complex background was included. I tried to keep the same mood from the original color palettes hoping to make ...

唯子と聖満

This work was conceived for last year Valentine's Day (2023). It was originally made as a monochrome illustration inspired from one of my favorite scenes in [月下香の檻] adult manga series by [山文京伝]. It took me quite some time to go back and add colors.

The original references for the pose and character design were inspired by [すぎぢー] lovely works and Miyabi Tsuzuru's as well. For the background, I toyed with lighting and colors over pieces of low quality pictures....

良太くんのXマス

[まってぃ] ChristmasProject

Christmas came and although I don't really care about gifts and all the market madness about it, it is a nice chance to make theme based fan art with all the cool characters I like most.

For this occasion, I brought back [香織おばさん] and [良太くん] from one of the classic [コンプリーツ] titles back in 2003. Her appearances and CGs from the original adult game were very scarce not to mention how difficult it was to get her endi...

Prison School Project [Dec]

[Commissioned request]

I started this simple colored project by the end of November. I was asked to work on a very interesting Prison School Fan-art. I am not a fan of that animated show, but the quality of the animation and character design was quite good. The paying guest requested Hana specifically for the main role with an original male partner. Original characters are very challenging because they have to look closer to the way guests conceive them in their minds.

餓狼伝説 Project

[Commissioned request]


This illustration was one of the first requests I took by the end of October. I was asked to make a h-scene with the whole Fatal Fury team in action and Mai as the main star, of course. Working on it reminded me to those classic [彩画堂] works such as [ユリ&フレンズフルカラー].

I started to look for references based on Bleach manga male characters and KOF 99 game character design style. If I am not ...

綾子おばさん Project

[Fan-art Project]

This is the updated report for another [ママクラブ] fan art project I started last month. I came across with a cool shower scene illustration on pixiv and decided to try using one of the many mature characters [コンプリーツ ] 's adult games had to choose from.

I've had lots of fun finding ways to depict a shower scene. I've been checking at classic animated OVAs and series screenshots as reference.

ブリーチ Project

[Commissioned request]

This is the second request I took by the end of last month. I was asked to make a h-scene with Unohana from Bleach manga/animated series. Her last appearances in the [千年血戦篇] arch was quite cool and I had in mind a fan art about her for a long time. This was a nice opportunity to do so.

サディナおばさん Project

[Fan-art Project WIP]

This is a fan art inspired by a nice illustration I saw on pixiv some time ago. At the same time I was watching [ 盾の勇者の成り上がり] last season and got the idea. I liked [サディナおばさん] during her appearance, so I had to do some artwork about her no matter what.

パルテナ Project [Re-Upload]

This fan-art started as a commission project during 2022. I already had in mind doing an illustration from that game even though I've never played it before. I came across with lots of SFM animations with Pitt and Pautena as protagonists so I was hoping to work on it anyways.

Commissions do not usually include backgrounds, so I decided to keep working on this project at my own pace after I completed the original request. Backgrounds take a lot of time so I usually go little by little a...

母さんに夜這い [ヒルダ] Re-Upload

This project started right after I came across with 「ルーデウス」animated adventures back in 2021. I had previously posted this work at the beginning of this year but it was censored by the pixiv staff.

I just need to work on the background before making it available to the booth site.

When I feel curious about new animated series, I often look at their promotional cover illustrations or screenshots found on the web. I usually keep watching these shows if the character des...

Halloween Special [B] 2023

As I mentioned in the previous post, two Halloween projects were made througout last month. After considering several possible themes, ladies and posing ideas, I decided to do some fan art based on [ ペルソナ 5 ] and [ 山姫の実 夕子 ].

This second Halloween fan art was inspired by a cool cover from one of [ 水無月十三 ] Sensei adult manga works. I used [ 新島冴 ] character design and color palette as reference from the original game. The idea was to make an "after-bos...

Halloween Special [A] 2023

[夕子のハロウィーンパーティ]

I started this project by the beginning of October although I was not sure about the theme. I had in mind several ideas based on illustrations I had seen around the web with cool poses to choose from. As for the female protagonists, I thought about depicting one of the ladies from Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, Persona, or one of the many Dojin moms I usually illustrate. In the end, I decided to do some fan art based on [ペルソナ 5] and [...

幸枝叔母さんの旅館 [WIP 07]

Yukie Obasan Project WIP

This fan art project was conceived long ago when I saw one of [たにし] Sensei works. There was a cool scene which reminded me a classic adult game from Complets [コンプリーツ]. I've already made some fan-art based on this game before and I've mentioned how hard it was to get the h-scenes starring Aunt Yukie and her guests.

For the coloring I've been using ideas from [ わたしの幸せな結婚 ] and [ るろうに剣心 ]. I love the color p...

ワンピース [リクエスト]

On this occasion, I was asked to go back at some of my old fan arts and do a remake as a special request. This type of challenges are very interesting because I can reflect on my own skills and previous works in order to find ways to improve them. In the original version, [ロビン] was wearing a towel around her chest because I probably wanted to avoid drawing her breasts. Nipples are one of the most difficult parts of the female body to draw. I really like the way artists such as [みや...

舞の好きなチーム WIP

This time I wanted to do a tribute from the classic ユリ&フレンズ [Yuri & friends] series published by 彩画堂 [Saigado]. While I was doing Shermie's team fan art last month, I came across with the cover page from [ユリ&フレンズフルカラー7]. Despite the artwork decreased in terms of quality in that issue, the colored pages made it look cool. If I am not wrong, Saigado is a dojin circle, which means that there might be more than a single illustrator. If you compa...

伝説の雷神の妻 II [シフ] WIP

I keep coming across with cool 3D works starring Lady Silf around the web. Some of these works are so cool that I also want to do some fan art about her to share with you as well. I can't remember the name of the artist's picture I use as reference for this illustration project but I will make sure to mention it next WIP update. I really wish I could learn some 3D modelling soon to make the process of drawing backgrounds and adding lighting moods easier. For instance, while I was uploading th...

Whenever I have the intention to make fan-art based on KOF series, I can't help it but think about the classic 彩画堂 [Saigado] doujin works such as ユリ&フレンズ [Yuri & Friends].

I started シェルミー [Shermie's] fan art project approximately when the last KOF title was released . However, I was stucked in the coloring process and left it stored in one of the many folders for projects in progress located inside my hard drive's memory.

[K9 Content]

This is a preliminary project preview from a commission I received some time ago. The main character of this illustration is Giovanna, [ジオヴァーナ] a female fighter from Guilty Gear series [ギルティギア]. I don't know much about this fighting game except the fan art I've seen around the web in the last decades so I had to investigate about her looks and style. I looked up for screen caps from the original game and artwork available online. I liked the color pa...
