ILLUSTRATION: CHERRY VAMP!

Hey, guys! I've got some new art to share with you, in the form of what I refer to as "Cherry Vamp", one of my original random ideas that I play around with. With it being Inktober, I thought it would be a good way to showcase more of my originals to garner interest. Plus, I've been busy no thanks to my day job, but also because of some comics I'm working on some of which I'll be sharing with you soon!

BUT WAIT--THERE'S MORE!

Stay tuned for the next few blog posts,...

HALLOWEEN IN PROGRESS!

Hey, guys! So, I've been rather quiet and I apologise--work has been particularly merciless and I've been working on several comics, including this Halloween comic! Originally I had planned to work on this story two years ago, but I had been going through a particularly difficult time and was unable to work on it. Hopefully I can make a deadline for once in my life! I'll have another preview up soon!

Pocket Guardian (EXCLUSIVE VARIANT)

Exclusively for Patrons--30!Noctis with the carbuncle charm, and without the beard, because I know some people prefer the beardless version, and some like any and all versions of Noctis. ^_~

Pocket Guardian!

I was rewatching Final Fantasy XV Brotherhood, and the scene with smol!Noctis with his Carbuncle charm gave me the idea to draw 30!Noct with that same charm. I feel like that would be considered a very important treasure to him!

And dear Patrons--you can download the high quality image! Be sure to download the attachment! ♥

"Pretty Fierce" Progress Log, Vol. 1.2

This is more of a follow-up to yesterday's post as opposed to a new entry, hence the "1.2", hahaha. This shows off a more common trait of my roughs; the placement of the dialogue balloons as a placeholder. The artwork is done traditionally, while panel borders and dialogue are added digitally.

For the record, I have attempted to hand letter my own comics, but my handwriting is so awful that I often end up going the digital route. I believe my Chiristmas comic I released in 2015 suffered fr...

"Pretty Fierce" Progress Log, Vol. 1

Hey, guys! I appreciate everyone bearing with me these last few weeks (I did not post any content in July and for that I apologise. July was a difficult month for me and I appreciate all of you for bearing with me!). I'm getting the ball rolling on this webcomic, and in order to keep myself going, I'll be posting weekly progress updates exclusively for you lovely patrons!

Today's post goes over a rough from Chapter 3 (Currently I've begun roughs up to Chapter 4!). The notes are fairly bas...

WIP WEDNESDAY!

Hey, guys! Tryna get back into the swing of things, so today I bring you a little slice from today's stream. These are just two of my characters that I will be debuting in August, but of course you lovely Patrons will be getting to know more about them first! Stay tuned...

Webcomic content drops in June!

Hey, guys! I'm sorry for my silence for the last few weeks--things have been a little busy on my end, largely due to my day job, fatigue, and having been sick this past week to boot.

The good news is that I'll be dropping webcomic previews and roughs and character reveals over the next few weeks! I'll be posting a few roughs over the next few days, followed by the first character reveal, and some of the first few completed pages of one of my upcoming webcomics!

Thanks for bearing...

NEW ILLUSTRATION: APOCOLYPSIS NOCTIS

The final new illustration to debut at Texas Showdown is revealed: Noctis in all his Tekken 7 splendor! I'm still amazed that he would be a guest character in my favourite fighting game series, and to express this I illustrated Noctis in his exclusive Tekken 7 costume in a style that is a nod to jbstyle, one of the guest artists that worked on Tekken 7!

Be sure to claim your reward by downloading the attached file! Prints will be available soon--those of you in the Super...

NEW ILLUSTRATION: ALISA BOCONOVITCH

Several months in the making, this Alisa illustration is ready for Texas Showdown! I love her new costume in Tekken 7, and just had to jump at the chance to illustrate it! Prints will be available this weekend at Texas Showdown, and will be available online shortly after!

Be sure to claim your reward by downloading the attached file!

NEW ILLUSTRATION: DBF(Z) ANDROIDS!

Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z is one of my favourite series of all time, and I love Dragon Ball FighterZ! The Androids are amongst my favourite of the DBZ characters, and of course I threw in Android 21 (at the time I started drawing this, I didn't realise she was Majin 21 and...10 years old...LOL)! This will debut as a print at Texas Showdown!

The high res artwork is available with this image TO ALL TIERS! Be sure to download the attached to claim your reward!

REWARD: KIRYU + MAJIMA MERCH REVEAL!

With Yakuza 6: The Song of Life dropping today, I thought i'd reveal the latest charm designs: Kazuma Kiryu and Majima Goro! Pre-orders will open at the end of the month, but you lucky Patrons can treat yourselves to the high-res artwork (make sure you download the attachment to claim your reward!)!

As for those of you in the Super Turbo and Super Turbo EX reward tiers--you can qualify to receive one of these charms if you're in the Super Turbo tier, and BOTH if you're in...

NOCTIS WIP (Please read previous entry, too!)

In addition to Ivy, Noctis will also be available first to patrons sometime next week. He and Ivy will debut at Texas Showdown!

REWARDS?

Okay, so I know I still need to send our rewards--with Texas Showdown around the corner and Final Round before it, my plans on distributing art have taken a bit of a curve.

HOWEVER, THE REWARDS WILL START COMING. I'm going to be focusing on high-res artwork for finished illustrations and artwork of new march, with comic roughs coming late April/early May. After Texas Showdown, thing should resume as normal since I don't see myself doing any more shows for the remainder of the year (unless...

FINAL FANTASY XV x TEKKEN

Goodness, Final Round is killing me and I haven't even gotten there yet!

I promise I'm alive, guys! Been buckling down on the last bit of merch for the weekend (and those of you in the $5 and above tiers will get to see the high quality artwork when I hand out rewards!), but I figured I'd slip the final artwork for the DEVIL NOCTIS and LUCKY PROMPTO keychains! These designs are to commemorate Noctis' debut in Tekken 7 this upcoming Tuesday!

The preorders will go live later today; t...

GET THAT WORK

Hey, guys! Apologies for the quiet these last few days--I'm buckling down on Final Round preparations! I'll be handing out rewards after the event, so please bear with me! In the meantime, I'll have some content to share in the blog just for patrons to see, including some WIPs of new artwork, and I may have a print or two to share as well! Stay tuned! 

Prince on the streets, King in the sheets!

The King Noctis dakimakura is completed, and preorders will be going live tomorrow! He will be available in the beardy variety and the baby face variety--those of you who pledged for the Super Tier and above will be receiving both the beardy and babyfaced artwork soon! ♥

THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION

Whenever I work on a rather big digital art project, I have this habit of saving my process every few sessions, as I like to compare my progress with each phase. It's a good way to keep me motivated to see my piece come to completion!

Here's all the phases for one of the sides of my Noctis Lucis Caelum dakimakura, from the very start ("A") to the most recent update ("J"). The differences between F-J are much more subtle, with J essentially being the end result of the small touches made d...

LET'S START THIS OFF RIGHT.

For those who have known me for years, you know that I love Tekken, and Lars Alexandersson in particular. While I may be all about Final Fantasy XV's Noctis these days, there's still a special place in my heart for this lion-hearted rebel! 

LIVE, EVERYBODY!

Hey, guys! So, with this being a thing, I'll be able to stop spamming everyone on twitter and share my in-progress and generate hype for my upcoming projects! Thanks again for your support; please look forward to my next work! ♥
