I lost. I had everything I needed to win. Everything was in place to assure my success. I had power. Infinite... power. And now? I was beaten. The Phantom Ruby has abandoned me. I am... back... to square one. Heh.
I'm not even angry. Those two... Mmh. I wonder... if they'll be able to stop the Phantom Ruby now... I could go and see for myself... Ah. My legs won't even move now... I see. Might as well stay and wait... It's all I can do now.
To be honest, what ...

Here is a work-in-progress shot of the next page of Firefly! Just showing off the lineart in this one because I am very happy with the way it turned out. I'm going for a more detailed look in these new pages, mostly testing out some things. I will also be testing out a new font, so be sure to let me know what works and what doesn't!
Might I add that it is the first time I ever actually drew a Japanese temple? Rather proud of the result tbh. x)
You can look at the original sketch here:

Ryuu turned his face away from hers. He could not bear to look her in the eyes, for in those eyes he was afraid of seeing the fear that plagued his dreams. He was afraid of seeing the eyes he saw every night; eyes filled with terror, staring at him like he was some sort of monster. He didn't want to lose her, she was the only one around who somehow understood him and his ways; she was, he wasn't afraid of admitting, his best friend. But would he be able to lie to his best friend more? He had...

Happy Valentine, my dear Patrons!
This little sketch is for you only (as I will not post it anywhere else on the Internet but here)! Hope you like it!
This ship has been sailing for a while now but I guess I never really did anything worthwhile or something that made sense with it? Their relationship is weird too, so that doesn't help. x) They never were in any established relationship, so they're not considered a couple at all. They were happy and cute for the three days they were toget...

I see… nothing.
I am walking forward, into nothing.
I have no purpose, no thoughts, no hopes, and no dreams.
All I do… is walk.
I see… the sea.
I have never seen the sea.
It is sparkling, like an ocean of shining gems.
The sun is bright, the sun is setting, the sun is putting the sea on fire.
Still… I walk.
I see… Wynsiph.
Its people are there, living life.
The streets are busy, the people like blurry shapes passing by.

Here is a next work-in-progress, this time of Infinite from Sonic Forces, without his mask. I wanted to do another Sonic painting for a while now, but was kind of bummed out by Sonic Forces and how that game turned out, so it took me a while to like it again. xD But now I'm legit wondering what happened to Infinite after the game (maybe they'll recycle him for another game, or dlc, I don't know), but in the meantime, I'm doing a little comic followed by this piece in particular to explore what I...

Here is my first Valentine drawing! I usually never do those as I just don't have interest in this, but this year I wanted to at least do a little something. So why not use my legit Kirby couple, Maku and Burra!
Those two are part of Hailan's team of ninjas; Maku is the medic of the group, while Burra is the scout. They became a couple while training as young ninjas on their home world, and stayed together when they joined the NSF, and later the Blue Moons. Their wedding day was something to r...

And here is my first tutorial! I wanted to start with something simple, so why not go straight for the basics. I use this technique most of the time when I sketch, and I must say it never failed me when practicing poses and unfamiliar characers!
Here's a little tip for traditional artists; for the basic shape stage, I recommend using a coloured pencil, like light blue or a light shade of red, and then going over those with your black pencils for the lines. If you use mechanical pencils (which ...

Yoruchou - (yo-roo-tcho)
Here is the first concept art of a character that I have yet to show, I had this idea for this little guy for a long time but never really could put it down on paper, for some reason. This little ball of butterfly fluff is actually Hailan's son! He is barely younger than Kirby during A New Age, just about 70 years old, and he retains a lot of traits from his mother. While his role in A New Age isn't that big, I do have plans for stories foc...

After safely putting his newly acquired book under his pillow, Ryuu quickly took a look around his room; it seemed that no matter where he looked, he couldn't find his scarf. But it was so odd… He could swear he had hung it over the bed frame before bed, as he always did. It wasn't under the bed, nor was it anywhere else in the room. He sat down, taking a moment to think. Could Azelea had taken it and left with it? But why would she do such a thing? She knew how much he...

Because it won't be a while still before I am done with these pages (as you can see I am upping my background game by making buildings, ooo), I decided to show off at least the sketches! This is page 12 of the The Firefly, the first page of Part 2, which takes place one month after page 11. As always, the dialogue here is prone to change.

This is the first work-in-progress shot of my comic, Daughter of Summer! I am still writing the script and doing the guideline sketches for the first chapter, and for now this is mostly what all the pages look like in the first stage of production. Drawings, texts and dialogues are all prone to change as I go, as this is considered the first draft. Texts can change even at the last second before posting!

Ryuu felt his face get considerably warmer as Azelea took him down the stairs to the main story of the Nook, where everyone was gathered for breakfast. All of the curious Wynglings, upon seeing them dash down the stairs, grouped up around them as a crowd, their eyes lit up in wonder and surprise. They were asking tons of questions, but all Ryuu could process… was how small they all seemed now. A Wyngling he had thought to be tall was now the smallest thing, and he was thoroughly creeped ou...

Hey there!
Just letting you guys know that I'll be doing a few changes to my rewards at the start of February; mainly, I'll be taking out the 5$ tier out completely and making this page more of a tip jar than a reward-based page. I'll still keep the 15$ tier, but the rewards present in the 5$ tier will be available to every patron instead.
Also, I will make more effort to bring more varied things to the table this year, such as actual tutorials people can learn from and progress shots of...

Not the most original title there is, eh? Oh well, I still had a lot of fun doing this little painting! It was mostly practice for drawing Ryuu as an adult in my more detailed style (also I'm using this as an excuse to give him the horns he needs, shh) I'm very satisfied with this little piece and will gladly do more detailed Ryuus in the future!

I have always been a fan of Final Fantasy X, but I've never been able to pull off any sort of fanart to showcase it. Since I have been a lot more confident in my skills as of late, I decided to go ahead and attempt drawing my favourite aeon (summon), Valefor! She's the first one you get in the game and the first one you get really attached to. Her design is one of the best of all the aeons (even though honestly they all look good), and even though it was rather complex to pull off, I'm still ver...

To start the year off, I decided to do this poll to ask everyone what exactly you would like to see from me as far as content goes on this Patreon. Perhaps to make it more interesting, to make it feel more worth it to become a Patron; I'll never know what people want unless I ask, so here goes! What do you want to see more from me on Patreon?
Don't hesitate to leave comments to say what you think too! You guys rock, and your input on things is very important to me. Thank you!

Hot.
It was so hot in here, Ryuu thought as he turned in his bed for the hundredth time, exhaling a deep breath. He didn't know why either; usually he was constantly feeling too cold, but now it was the exact opposite. It felt like his blood was boiling inside his veins, burning lava trailing through his limbs and heart, and it made him feel awfully dizzy to the point of feeling sick. He let his arm hang from the side of the bed, hoping that a somewhat fresher breeze would p...

[...] Meta quickly raised his arm to protect his eyes from the incoming sharp winds as the gigantic beast landed in front of the altar, feeling his heart drum wildly in his chest when he laid his eyes upon its majesty. Meta was used to feeling short in front of others, but this... Now he felt like he was a meaningless speck of stardust. With a low grunt echoing through the dragon's throat, it bent its long neck forward and approached its large, horned head closer, and though Meta initially w...

Title says all! Those are all the main characters lined up from shortest to tallest, for reference.
And here's a funny thought; an average human would be the height of Galaïd here.

The Daikma Shrine, located at the tip of the lonely Dai Peninsula, in the eastern-most land of Lumalisse, is one of many sacred temples spread across the world of Etaliari. This shrine in particular is of great importance to Ikrouks, for it is here that all Elders reunite every few milenia, so that their heirs may be blessed by the spirit of the Dragon who resides inside. Only a heir that has been blessed by the spirit may be worthy of leading their land; for many, this is the ul...

Ryuu's heart pumped wildly in his chest. His claws gripped his brand new scarf shakily as he started laughing out loud; anyone who knew him would not recognize him at all at this very moment. The wide grin, the glowing, tearful eyes, the laughs; what was this strange feeling, seeping from inside him? It leaked, it spread, it engulfed him, and his heart was pumping so loudly, but despite the sea raging inside of him, he still felt... somewhat... serene.
