Mai Shiranui illustration (Poll Winner)

Mai Shiranui is fun to draw. Her new design is still tricky to draw and there's still no HD references for the patterns; I had to hand draw some parts. The sketch took a while before it got a nice concept. I certainly scrapped the first good sketch cus' it wasn't perfect enough. While the final piece isn't perfect, it certainly was a great piece to work on and the mistakes really added to the outcome. It's always a pleasure drawing Mai and I hope I get a chance to draw her again next year. 2024-12-27 19:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post

X4MUS Illustration

Happy Holidays folks! When this post is up, I'm preparing for XMAS eve dinner.

Love how this piece turned out. Sammy looks like she's gonna rob the place which is kinda funny. I also wanted to draw Red ZSS like the one from Smash but with my own adjustments cus' the original wasn't red enough. It feels surreal that this is my last piece of Sammy this year. There's gonna be more next year.

S4MVS x Melona illustration (Art Trade)

Apologies for the surprise NSFW! This was an Art Trade I had made for Finalizer14. They asked for a S4MVS x Melona piece, and gave me permission to upload this.

Been a while since I've drawn Melona. Queen's Blade is one of my guilty pleasures. Definitely one of those piece where I experimented a lot. This was also a practice piece for the XMAS piece; you can tell I've been simplifying a lot of rendering and using the brightness as an advantage.

Marina (Fear & Hunger 2: Termina)

My first fan art of Fear & Hunger! I can't believe it took me this long to make one. I loved the first game but I only played Termina this year.

I was gonna draw Olivia but Marina was just too tempting. They're also have a nice design. Their hair color varies a lot but I went with my instincts. Also, by drawing Marina I can easily segue into drawing Samarie.

You might also notice that this piece has a heavy negative space vibe. Ngl I went crazy with the whites but it ended up...

The final poll this year of 2024!

Vote for the character that you want to see drawn. Pin-up Style!

 My last piece this year. Let's make it count!

Jinx Act 3 illustration

Made this after Arcane has ended. The show was great overall, the ending was just forgettable. I guess good things have to end, whether I like it or not.

I'm more of Vi enjoyer but Jinx has always been my secret weapon. My original League account had her at Mastery 7 with a matching Odyssey skin. The was straightforward, I just painted on one layer and overlayed most of the effects on top. I'm thinking of doing more to this piece if I ever get it printed; like a glow in the dark spray p...

Queen Marika Illustration (Poll Winner)

Queen Marika, a long overdue Elden Ring fan art. It has been a while since I've painted an entire piece. This was painted in one layer with some linework added afterwards. There's not a lot of official references for Marika. I had to look at other fan interpretations, 3D models and figures for a basis.

I'm happy with how it turned out. I thought I was rusty at painting but it was just a faster version of my current style. It's a little rough at some places but it was m...

Marika WIP + Tsunade & Hulkenberg sketch

The Three-Way tie was a brutal choice. Ultimately I lucked out with the painting setup for Marika. It's been a while since I've drawn an Elden Ring fan art. Fun fact: I actually painted an acrylic piece of Marika. It's super over the top and I'm too bashful to show it.

Tsunade started off solid; she's still fun to draw every time. I was a massive Boruto's Dad fan. I also played her a lot on Storm 4, she wasn't my main cus' she pretty mid but I use her to check pla...

Seiko Ayase illustration

Seiko Ayase gives me big Tsunade vibes. I highly recommend watching the anime. The only reason I haven't drawn any other characters is cus' an artist friend of mine already drew the rest except Seiko. Turbo Granny cat is also sooooo cute.

These pieces are also the catalyst for the white hand silhouettes I've added to some of my recent portrait artworks.

Vi illustration + BtS/WIPs

Can't wait for Act III. Vi's opening sequence was so cool. It felt like a powerful LDR short film.

Vi was always one of my favorite champs in League. When she got released I was so ecstatic. She was also my main champ when I was competing; I played Lee Sin, Vi and Shyvana when Sightstone was a thing.

Wish I could make a full Arcane piece but it doesn't do well every time I do it + I don't have the time this month. This is the best I could do so far.

Sam is back! Space Bounty Hunter + DEMI illustration

She's a little thick ngl. Saw a thicker 3D model of her so I decided to draw her in that proportion. I also tested some painting techniques I had last year. The whole illustration is very reminisce of my pre-2024 style, specifically the lighting.

I really missed Sammy. Safe to say i'm gonna draw her again with this hairstyle.

Also it's probably the 1.0 release day of Subverse so I decided to make a quick portrait of DEMI.

Anya (Mouthwashing)

My first Mouthwashing fan art. + A little teaser for some innovations I've with my current art style. I've been playing around with negative spaces lately.

Mouthwashing is one of those games I played that I'll only play once. The twist really made replayability hard for me especially cus' the main character isn't someone I'd root. The Pony mascot was kinda cute and dark at the same time and Curly is pretty iconic so I might draw him.

Dancing, mourning, reuniting with a lost loved one, surviving, solitude and finally, gazing the stars with your lover.

Monthly Character Poll (NOV 2024)

Vote for the character that you want to see drawn. Momma style ;)

Once upon a time, they were my niche. Then Sammy became a hit and derailed my plans of drawing older characters. I'm curious to see how they would look in my current style.

Can't wait for the poll to finish. It's stacked!

ACHTUNG! Zine Update.

UPDATE! 11/05/24

I'm almost at the finish line! The cover is done. All that is left are some touch ups and a lot of things outside of creating.

Due to technical issues, I can't specify a date. It may be up early depending on the platform but rest assured, I will make an announcement once they're all up.

SIGNALIS Anniversary! + Falke and Adler

UPDATE: Falke is supposed to be up next month but I need it to lineup the schedules for next month and patrons don't miss out on this month's pieces.  You can easily name which statue is this a reference too. It was an intentional decision and I was able to nail it without making a one-to-one copy.

I feel like the dynamic between Falke and Adler is more symbiotic rather than a one sided romance. Falke and Adler need each other to prevent persona degradation. I...

Selvaria Bles (Poll Winner)

This piece was unexpectedly fun to work on. The process went smoothly start to finish; ideas just flowed within me. You can tell it's not my first time drawing her, with a slight touch of unfamiliarity.

I've been juggling commissions and artworks for the zine. Thought I'd be so burned out to make this piece. Once again, I surprise myself with a Sammy level piece.

SIGNALIS Artifact Ending

Tururu ruuuu...!

This is one of the pieces in my SIGNALIS zine. The original version of an another piece I made with the similar pose. I'm sorry for the spoilers but out of context, the piece just looks like Ariane and Elster dancing. Lastly, I was already planning on posting this piece this month regardless of the zine.

The colors are stellar. I had fun following the lighting which I referenced from the game. Can't help but tear up as I was making this piece. This was one of the ...

Monthly Character Poll (OCT 2024)

September's was straightforward but I'm gonna take this month's into another level. Allowing multiple choice again but I hope there's no ties :(

Lara Croft (TR: The Legend of Lara Croft)

As I'm posting this piece, it's the 10th. I was looking forward on watching this today but it's not up from where I'm from. 

Another fan art of my favorite Sammy adjacent gal. This time I am happy with the results cus' the last time was lackluster. Lara always has a special place in my heart and I'm glad I was able to draw her ths month.

I made this piece before the show so I haven't watched it yet. What I like about her design is that they simplified her hair; I was...

Space Bounty Hunter! M.Dread. Special illustration

To celebrate the release anniversary of Dread tomorrow. I decided to whip up quick illustration. It's amazing what you can draw with just shapes. To be fair, I referenced one of the scenes in a cutscenes. However, I changed the background, lighting and added my own spin.

This franchise as a whole helped me gain a following I desperately looked for. I'm very thankful to all you folks who support my art.

"ZSS! Going on a Mission" illustration

I've been wanting to draw a scene like this for a while. Usually, I draw characters in their back view when it's an environment concept art. In this case, it was a breath of fresh air. Took me a while to get Sammy's pose right. Even though I couldn't draw her beautiful face, the patterns at her back was a nice alternative. I rarely get the chance to draw that part. Overall a wallpaper-esc piece.

I also like the comic-style, even though I was going with an anime background aestethic.

Morrigan Aensland! illustration (Poll Winner) + Manuela

This Morrigan piece is reminisce of my early January style. Its such a nice throwback that I never expected in the process. It's basically, clean lineart, AO + Shadows and colors. The lighting does the heavy lifting of the little rendering. Morrigan is one of those iconic characters on my to-draw list that I'm happy to cross out this year.

As an extra I've added Manuela. I sketched her digitally and finish it with ink and markers on paper.

Yuki, Space Assassin! illustration

Yuki was one of those characters I discovered two months ago. She's the main character of The Sadistic Dreamer's adult Audio/Comic series, Yuki: Space Assassin. I checked it out because it had great cover artworks. Their audio series are surprisingly well done; like I never thought I would like it. They reminded me of radio dramas that I still listen to, to this day and I'm glad it wasn't some asmr stuff. The voice actors are also spot on. Yuki is literally Sammy in a ra...

Candela illustration

A quick tribute illustration for Reiq. I was in the mood with drawing their OC Candela at that time.

As you folks know, they were a big inspiration when I started drawing back in the day. I just wanted to make a quick illustration this month. This pose is also the one I made for Sa-x, I reused it cus' I was able to come up with a better pose.

I'm happy with how this piece has turned out, it was a fun process and a nice warm-up for my next piece. HD Download now Available!

The Monster from Fusion! Illustration

Been a while since I've made a standalone illustration of SAX. I'm happy with how it has turned out. Had a few hiccups in the sketching phase. Armor details were added when the pose became solid. Overall, it's on the level of the Sammy piece I've made last January.

I'm on fire at the start of this month, I hope I stay consistent; the process has been easier lately except for the sketching. No matter how much fundamentally sound the preliminaries are, I have to make sure it stays that wa...
