Demon Slayer - Infinity Castle (New Art Early Access)

Super excited to share with you my new Demon Slayer Infinity Castle artwork! I literally just finished last night! 😅

Street Buildings (Process Video)

Hi everyone! Dropping a new process video for you here on how I created this simple Street Buildings scene!

The main idea is that buildings and environments in general - read best when their big shapes are clear. Detail comes after. By working this way, you can create many scenes that feel believable without getting lost in technical complexity.

New Artwork Previews (+ Tiny Rough Sketches)

Dropping some snippets of new artworks I've been working on lately! Chipping away between a Kaiju No.8 piece and an original landscape piece!

As always, working on multiple pieces at a time and I have a lot of new sketch thumbnails on the way but nothing have formed out of the scribbles for now lol..

Do you do small scribbles with a pen as well? I'm using a small A5 book for my small sketches! It helps to keep my mind and sketching loose and energetic to get rough ideas out!

Hi everyone and thank you for waiting! I’m excited to share this month’s exclusive tutorial with you! :)

In this lesson, we’ll explore how to visualise and paint wind — not as a solid object, but as a force that interacts with the world around it. You’ll learn how to build up atmosphere with light and fog, create wispy textures to guide the flow, and use motion blur, highlights, and debris to make wind feel alive and believable in your artwork.

Art Block? Struggling With No Ideas?

It’s okay to not know what to draw. Really. You don’t need a big idea, a perfect plan, or even a clue.

In this video, I’ll talk about why starting without an idea is totally okay and how it can actually lead to something fun, meaningful, or just plain weird (in the best way). Hopefully I can help take the pressure off you so you don't stay stagnant and continue creating despite not having the 'big idea'.
