[Announcement] Preparing for convention & making new works

I'm really fortunate to acquire a table in Artist Alley, which is happening in 3 weeks. Will be selling prints, but my main purpose in attending this event is to promote my work, to have a better chance to get my name/work out there. First impressions are very important and I really don't want to mess this up. This will be a very busy month for me, but I will keep trying to post frequently.

That being said, I am also still making new art. (You can see them on the next slide)  ^_^<...

Any thoughts on the outline? Trying something new.

Been experiencing some serious burnout recently. It really sucks.

Update & Changed Tier 3

After careful consideration and asking my audience, I've decided to remove "Animated Wallpapers" as a guaranteed monthly reward, and replaced it with "PSD/RIF File."

Animating is a very time consuming and mental process. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing my works feel a bit more alive, and it is well worth it (for me). This also does not mean I will give up on animating, I just can't guarantee EVERY artwork will now be animated.

I've also asked ...

[Artwork] Enchanting Morrigan

This piece really took a lot out me... I learned a lot, but GOD DAMN it took a lot of time! I definitely need to make a plan for these kind of works in the future. Atleast I know what to do now in the future.

I do plan to update this piece slowly, I still want to work on it some more; but this will be ready on Gumroad by the 1st (along with animation, as promised). ^_^

Just showing an image update. Getting close to completion!

[WIP] Enchanting - Morrigan Aensland

I'm postponing Juri Han for a bit. The piece barely progressing, I just couldn't concentrate on that piece when there were other ideas on my mind that I really want to execute. And when I'm not in the mood, I can't make good art, and I don't want to make bad art; that's why I'm postponing.

You could say I've just been "seduced."

[WIP] Juri Han

Just want to give an update on the next character I'm working on, and show you guys more
on how I work.

Also been really itching to create "more visual" artworks than just full-body pieces (what I've been doing recently); definitely want to create another Mai, Chun, and Morrigan piece. I probably won't be able to finish any of that by this month, since I still have to & want to animate the current pieces. We'll see, I'll probably have some WIPs to show soon thou...

[WIP] Morrigan Aensland

I've done a Morrigan piece before, but the problem I had with the piece, is that she looked a kind of crazed; so I wanted to avoid going crazy with her face/expression this time. Compared to a lot of fighting game characters, her pose is pretty neutral; I want to take that challenge in giving her a pretty neutral pose but somehow make it interesting, but still feels like Morrigan's demeaner.

This turned out harder than I thought... Giving a character a neutral pose AND expressing the p...

Was already making fanart of Ryu... then a new Street Fighter 6 trailer dropped, and I gave him a beard. :)

[WIP] Felicia

Say what you will about Felicia, but I think one of the most stand out traits of the character is her personality; and the challenge of making art for this character, is exactly that. I think it's a lot easier to pose a character in a sexy style, especially when looking like that; but to portray a character as cute, while the "desire" meter is cranked all the way, and is also in a fighting game... I think Felicia can be a hard character to actually portray, and I'm willing to take this challe...

[WIP] Morrigan Aensland (Practice)

Morrigan Aensland from Darkstalkers, one of the characters I will be making art for this month! I am actually really excited to make another piece for this character. Hope everyone is excited as well.

What you are seeing here is a practice piece and some thumbnailing/brainstorming ideas, figuring out how I will draw/paint Morrigan. <3

[Animation] Mai Shiranui & Chun Li

FINALLY, finished tier 3 rewards!

Mai was by far the hardest character I had to animate so far. I had to scrap & redo her animation 3 times, until I got her movement pretty close and faithful to her character. I spent DAYS working on her, and had to actually pull an all-nighter for her... I am dead tired. =_=

I did learn a lot from this though, and it was worth it! ^_^

[Progress Report]

Finally got all the parts and meshes (it was a lot of work)! Now I can actually, FINALLY start animating. Will definitely get this done this week, look forward to it! ^_^

[Artwork] Chun Li

Holy hell, symmetry rendering is hard! I probably won't be doing much symmetry anytime soon. This piece was so mediocre coming from me, it's way too stiff. Very disappointing. πŸ˜‘

Will now spend the rest of the month animating everything I did. Look forward to it! ^_^

[WIP] Chun Li

One more Chun Li this month! This one is a bit special though, this is highly inspired by Omar Dogan's art of Chun Li,  from Street Fighter Legends: The Ultimate Edition cover art.

I bought this book years ago, when I was still in high school! Me and my friend was just hanging out in a tiny comics store, and this book caught my eye. Maybe because the store is usually filled with DC, Marvel, and Manga stuff, and it was surprising to see something fr...

Revised/updated Mai Shiranui, giving the same love as Chun Li's artwork! ^_^

[WIP] Mai Shiranui - (不ηŸ₯火 舞)

Been continuing & reworking this. I've also come to terms that I can't really make good art in a more simplistic style (yet). πŸ™ I believe the best direction for my art is to just stick with what I do best. πŸ‘
