Shade of a cat

Arlecchino WIP

One of the possible concepts... Very rough sketch, many details will probably change, but this is roughly what the future art will look like

Another Sparkle WIP

Sparkle: Star Rail!

The recently released trailers have greatly inspired me and thrown up some ideas for possible future works. One of them is finally developing the early sketches I've already posted.

February live wallpaper preview

Introducing my new live wallpaper with Cloud Retainer! I've made some things more detailed, and the character design has gotten more complex.  

Tell me what you like about it and what in your opinion you would like to see differently? 

Sparkle/Hanabi doodles

I really want to draw her, I think I'm ready to draw her every day, so there will be at least one art. Maybe there will be another, smaller one, which will then go into plastic bookmarks, but I do not promise anything.

March poll

And this time the poll consists entirely of Honkai Star Rail characters! Who are we drawing in March?

The poll will be repeated next month if it receives no votes.

Btw I will post a step-by-step guide for Xianyun art soon!

WIP Xianyun scenery without Xianyun

I just really like the way it looks now, so I'll leave it here!

Most likely, nothing will change much in the end, so if anyone is interested, I will post a version without a character in good quality after I finish.

Working on: Xianyun

A new illustration is just around the corner, and its main character will be Xianyun!

Viper WIP

I don't know yet what will happen in the end, I'm just showing you one of the possible directions

Thinking about Viper

A couple of Viper from Valorant pose options

January live wallpaper preview

On the example of my desktop I show you my first live wallpaper for Wallpaper Engine! Do not judge strictly, but I am waiting for your comments about what I could do better in the future. 

I plan to release 1 live wallpaper every month that will be available to the Mystic Shade tier subscribers!

Focalors versions WIP

I'm struggling with this choice. 

Naturally, I don’t have enough time to make all four versions for the final drawing, so I’ll have to choose two options. Therefore I really don’t like trying to change the lighting/shades - then it’s very difficult to stop and even more difficult to choose.

I think I'm more likely to go with the first option with the red sun than the second; and from the last two I will choose the blue option, but I will try to add something from the ...

January poll

And this time the poll consists entirely of Honkai Star Rail characters! Who are we drawing in January? 

The poll will be repeated next month if it receives no votes.

Focalors doodles

Every time I think that next time I won’t draw water and here we go again!

This is perhaps the earliest stage of art, when work on the art itself has not even begun. This is just what I want to see approximately, and the future art will begin to be drawn in a new file from scratch.

Lynette variations

A few minor options that I sketched today for Lynette. From the first I came to the third, which I will choose for the drawing.

A couple of snapshots of the backstage

In the process of creating, art has various forms, appearance and can fundamentally change or can simply give rise to many options from which you have to choose. I show you the process of the future art with Iso from Valorant.

Halloween sketches

I drew Halloween art with absolutely no idea what I wanted to get in the end. Therefore, the picture turned out to be completely broken, one does not fit the other, the parts are not connected, sharp lines are adjacent to smooth ones, like two different universes.

That's why now I have two pieces for future Halloweens and not a single piece of art for the past one :D

Something gray and rainy

Commission sketch

A small commission with a non-fandom scenery

Some sketches of future Star Rail art

Several initial versions of which I still chose the first one

August 2023 awards and info to new September patrons

August rewards will also be sent by email to all new Heavenly Shade tier members in September. This is Full HD (otherwise it's gigabytes of memory) PSD files with all layers as I worked with them.

Navia sketch

This is what an idea looks like

Navia soon!

A little about how my style has changed

The other day I came across a wonderful view in the game and again doubted whether my current style really suits me.

I decided to reproduce a specific example in three different versions of my style (albeit very rudely).

1. This is what I started and from which I quickly went towards some detail (2), imperceptibly abandoning complete silhouette.

2. Some detail, with illuminated surfaces, which already contradicts my pure concept, but there is something in this and something ...

Characterless version 4k - 01. Nahida artwork

High res version of my art with Nahida WITHOUT Nahida! I am often asked for such options so I will post them here too.

01. Nahida wallpaper 4k

This is the first post here and I decided to open my Patreon with Nahida art!

That is why early access does not apply to this post, but all future illustrations will be published three days earlier here.

I hope you liked it! Full resolution in the file attached to the post, you can download it!

What do you think?

Greetings to everyone on my patreon!

For almost two years now I have been engaged in my art, looking for different ways to develop and improve my style, and the huge support from each of my followers in socials suggests that I am moving in the right direction.

Many are waiting for more and more new works, I know you put them on wallpaper or somewhere else, someone is even ready to print them for themselves in one form or another. Many also often ask how it was drawn, in what it was drawn and with what. Periodically as far ...
