Gobbo

No one in particular, I felt like I wanted to draw a character like this for relaxation purposes.

Irraere and her Books (CG WiP)

An early sketch of what this CG is supposed to represent, which is the aloof Irraere reading books on the floor as Miima chides her master and tidies things up around the lab.

Mercilia's Room

Mercilia's room, where she keeps her private book collection. For a princess her room is quite sparsely decorated.

At The Party (A Teaser)

Party outfits, what's the party all about? Wait and see!

Eye of Mylbriia

The watchful gaze of Mylbriia shines down from the moon Mylrun, daughter of Mylbriia. The goddess gazes upon her children, providing them light in the darkness. 

The Priestesshood finds comfort in the gaze of Mylbriia, progenitor of the elven race who gifted the Ontonian people to knowledge of fire and the knowledge to craft beer, a sacred thing in this culture.

Foreigners are often unnerved by what is said to be unceasing gaze of the Goddess.

Dizzy Hearts OP progress

Reminder that this is still early, every shot here is a placeholder meant to get the final idea across quick and dirty!

Queen Llend's Ballroom (Concept and Final)

Here's the concept art for Queen Llend's ballroom, you'll find loads of concept art in the Dizzy Hearts artbook when it's released.

Princess Mercilia is preparing for a party in which her mother, Queen Llend is to announce her successor. 

Attached below is the final version!

Dizzy Hearts Opening (Storyboard)

Keep in mind this is a storyboard, this isn't representative of the finished video, comprised of art that has been mocked together in order to convey the overall idea without finished assets.

We're hard at work making interesting and cool elements of the opening right now and hope to have more to show in the coming months!

Miima's Cute Butt

Miima is certain to win Irraere's heart this time.

Dizzy Hearts Collage (part5 - final)

Finished adding Eleyna, Yuliana, and Queen Lend. Afterwards I began overpainting with highlights, pushing a lot of blues, as well as tweaking them to fit on the background, which is just a cloudscape, but accented with lots of snow in the distance or streaking close to the camera to help sell the depth of the art.

This picture will be available as prints, posters, and as a wallscroll in the near future!

Irraere's Library

We have some new artists helping me do Backgrounds while I focus more on CGs. This was a BG that I did for Dizzy Hearts, a redesign of the original Irraere's Lab/Library. Fitting much better with the rest of the art and the architecture of Mercilia's Manor.

Dizzy Hearts Collage (part4.5.2 - underpaint)

This project has been a bit long overdue, what with game art, and our recent Kickstarter, but I made another progress step doing the primary shading on all but 3 characters in the picture. 

Here you can see the blank background, when all is finished, I'll be doing more overpainting, lighting effects, background work and more. This collage makes up a key visual for Dizzy Heart...

Formal Queen Llend

Queen Llend is hosting a party to announce her successor, but who will it be?!

Princess Mercilia's Room

Princess Mercilia's room for Dizzy Hearts!

The Court of Flowers

Hundreds of years prior to the beginning of Dizzy Hearts, the Elvish country of Ontonia was a militaristic kingdom; its spear-head was Lungarde. Long ago established as the capital of Ontonia, where war was fought, the city fortress was the breakwater against the wild elves of the Rift. In this fighting Lungarde and Ontonia grew larger and stronger, and the smaller nation-states of the Ontonia ...

Dizzy Hearts VA Kickstarter, VA reveal + more

The time is soon upon us elf lovers.

We're launching a new kickstarter within the week. (We'll have an accurate date to share in a couple days!) 

This Kickstarter will be set at $10,000 and we're teaming up with Sound Cadence Studios, a new studio who's been establishing a client list and providing casting and ADR for RWBY seasons 4 & 5, Rio: Rainbow Gate and more. Most of the team at Sound Cadence has been involved with dubbing the biggest shows on Funimation such as...

Streets of Lungarde

A simple BG this time.

We're readying the Dizzy Hearts Kickstarter, we'll be sharing a teaser of all the VA in the next couple days!

The Dizzy Hearts Stylesheet

Not fully completed, as there are the odd outfit to make, and some blushing faces to add, but sprites in DH are 95%+ complete, and we are focusing our art on BGs/CGs, which you'll see a lot of in February.

Dizzy Hearts UI

Carried over from Kickstarter.

We've slightly reduced the edge glow and tweaked the background in the new version to make the menu's look cleaner. but here's a look at our plans for Dizzy Heart's UI

Lupie Wallpapers

The much anticipated return of Lupie, pup-rific Lupiesoft mascot starts with brand new Wallpapers, both phone & computer formats.

There's plenty more Lupie content on the way!

Dizzy Hearts Collage (part4.5 - underpaint)

A continuation of part 4, showing Mercilia and Seriva w/ underpaints!

The Queen's Ballroom

A peek at the The Queen's Ballroom, there's some minor things to add to this, but it looks quite glamorous, doesn't it?

Panna (Yuliana's Consort)

In the increasing list of required sprites. I introduce Panna, the Consort of Yuliana. The Consort is like a wife, though a fiore may love her entire harem, the royal consort plays a special role in tending to her wife, as well as managing the rest of the harem, and servants, running the manor while the Princess is away on matters of state.

Not every person with this bond is a consort, as being a royal consort is a special status within Ontonia.

Panna, like Aamu, and Maiju, is someone wi...

Dizzy Hearts Collage (part4 - underpaint)

Part 3 is lines and underpaint. It's more than just flats as I prepare each character for colors, coloring the lines and setting up the final composition. Each character is on a separate layer, with each character linework along with their colors as separate layers. Later lines, and colors will be collapsed into one layer. In the final image every character will essentially be just two layers, body and face. 

The next step is final color, and final overpaints in part5, with part6 b...
