WIP WHENSDAY: Pretty Fierce Campaign (Draft)

Hey, lovelies! It's been a very, very hot minute since we've last seen some of the leading ladies of my original work, "Pretty Fierce"! Ever since my acceptance into Texas Showdown's Artist Alley, I got to thinking on how I want to improve some aspects of my presentation, such as merch packaging and business cards! So I thought, "why not feature my OCs?"

My thinking is, by making my OCs a part of my presentation, it would establish that they're kind of a big deal, and as I do my next ...

More charms are on the way...

ILLUSTRATION DROP: FIGHTERS MEGAMIX'S GREATEST?

It took a little while (and some serious editing as I had to draw some extra portions on a separate piece of bristol paper just to fit the poster size), but it's finally done: the three greatest fighters to grace the classic Sega fighter, "Fighters Megamix"! This is one of my all-time favourite fighting games. It's unbalanced as hell, it's super wacky, and I love every bit of it!

While the size made it unsuitable for an 11x17 print, I am able to get this made into an 11x14! Expect to ...

Morrigan Sticker Reservations ::OPEN::

Hey, lovelies! Morrigan sticker reservations are now open until January 25th! This will include both Morrigan and the exclusive Lilith palette variant!

G'Raha Tia stickers are currently in production and will go out to everyone who reserved one.

There will be a new art drop Wednesday and a Progress Report soon. I know I've been quiet lately--I've been working on Tekken merch and discussing a possible collaboration. More on that later!

G'RAHA RESERVATIONS CLOSED!

WIP WHENSDAY: MOAR TEKKEN CHARMS

The Tekken hype train ain't stoppin' anytime soon! The next batch of charms/stickers will include Lars and Alisa (naturally), Hwoarang and Jin, Dragunov and Victor, and Jin and Xiaoyu! These will be appearing on my stream at various intervals, though I may try to get as much done off-stream as possible as I want to try to get these done fairly quickly!

STREET FIGHTER: JURI IN A ONESIE

Okay! So I wasn't planning on posting this yet (Jon Talbain was next), but when I found out Juri's birthday is tomorrow, I decided to prioritise this illustration to coincide with her birthday! This is based on her "outfit 3" design in Street Fighter 6, and will be made into a pillow, a mini pillow keychain, and stickers!

She'll be joined by Kazuya from Tekken and Bridget from Guilty Gear as part of a series of fight game characters in onesies!

See y'all next year and thank yo...

DARKSTALKERS: RIKUO

Okay! He's finally finished! Yay! 🥲 I appreciate everyone's patience while I was trying to get him finished...soooo many small details to contend with. But it's all done and I can move on to finishing Jon Talbain! 🥳

Rikuo will be available as a sticker and a double-sided charm (with the alternate palette being on the flip side!). He'll be going into production as a sticker this week, and as a charm next month.

In the meantime, feel free to download the high res artwork to...

QUICK UPDATE RE: UPCOMING ART

Hey, lovelies! Dropping a quick post to let y'all know what's going on with the update I promised--the finished artwork for Rikuo from Darkstalkers as part of the sticker/charm series.

The artwork was originally planned to drop this weekend, but I am going to wait until Tuesday, December 26th to post it--and it's entirely because it's not 100% completed as of yet. I've been trying to get him finished within the promised deadline, but there have been numerous fixes I've needed to make o...

::ILLUSTRATION DROP: SNACK TIME::

He's finally done 🥹

An idea I randomly thought about (on stream, IIRC) that wound up taking off...and taking a while!

I had seen how in Endwalker he was eating a burger, and in the Dawntrail trailer, he was eating tacos...and I thought "okay, wouldn't it be funny if he went on a Taco Bell and White Castle run?" And that's how we're here today. c:

The reason this took so long was because I hadn't realised how detailed G'Raha Tia's design is, plus finding decent refere...

ILLUSTRATION DROP: Relax and Reflect?

...this was supposed to be the anniversary artwork but hey, 1.5 weeks late isn't *that* late, right? 😅

Right, so I had attempted to make this illustration last year, but was so dissatisfied with it that I never got around to finishing it. So, this year I ran it back, redraw it, and was obviously not dissatisfied with it because I finished it 😤

The illustration is an homage to one of my favourite pieces of key artwork from the game Street Fighter x Tekken! Work on Bandit Re...

WIP WHENSDAY: Final Fantasy Host Club

Hello, lovelies! If you're wondering when I'd take a break from the fight game stuff, here you go! 😛

In all seriousness, I've talked about wanting to make a host club zine/merch line in which select Final Fantasy men would be featured. In this edition of WIP W(h)ednesday, I'm sharing with you the first four hosts: Cloud Strife, Noctis Lucis Caelum, Gladiolus Amicitia, and Clive Rosfield! There are three additional hosts, which will be shown soon!

These drafts are intended fo...

MERCH SHOWCASE: Tekken Charms pt.1

Arriving with the Morrigan charm are the first batch of Tekken chibi charms (this time with less fuck-ups!)

Both charms are roughly 3 inches on clear acrylic! These are inspired by a series of charms that were released for FFXV (which I've included in this post so that y'all have a frame of reference). I love this idea so much I wanted to make a Tekken version! After all, FFXV is part of Tekken's legacy 😌

I wonder if that means a Lars + Noctis charm is on the way...?

MERCH SHOWCASE: Morrigan Charm!

Hey, lovelies! The latest batch of merch has arrived! The Morrigan charm kicks off the Darkstalkers charm series-- unlike previous charms, these feature a palette swap on the flip side, so any fan can show off their preferred palette if they so desire!
The charms are roughly 3 inches on clear acrylic, and will be in the Ko-Fi shop soon!

::GUILTY GEAR STRIVE:: NAGORIYUKI

At last, he's done! But well worth the effort as I think he's one of the coolest additions to the Guilty Gear cast! Nagoryuki, the samurai vampire, joins my Guilty Gear Strive sticker and charm collection! The charm and sticker have already been manufactured and will be shown off soon! Part of what took so long was aside from being distracted by Tekken news (good lord we are eating SO WELL in the Tekken fandom) was trying to find a good third palette to use! Finding references was harder than...

::GUILTY GEAR STRIVE:: MAY

Finally! May and her palette swaps are ready for y'all to view! This took much longer than I cared to admit, and a big part of it was because I was distracted by Tekken 8. I wish I that wasn't the reason, but here we are.

The good news is that the charm has already been produced and will be shown off very soon! I had hoped to have these ready by the time the charms arrived, but...uh...that didn't happen.
I hope that this was worth the wait! Nagoriyuki will be going live on Tuesday!...

Hello, everyone! It's time for another update on what's been going on, so let's get to it:

MERCHANDISE: Oh my goodness, there's so much on the way! The Morrigan sticker is currently in production with Rockin Monkey, and the Lars + Jin and Tekken 8!Kazuya + Jun stickers are in production as well ( the latter made possible thanks to a tipoff from a friend of mine about a flash sale Sticker App was running!)!

MERCH SHOWCASE: Tekken Charms VOL. 1

At last! The first round of designs for my upcoming Tekken charms have arrived! Two of the designs (Lars + Jin and Kazuya + Jun) were made into charms, but the batch didn't turn out so well because some loser didn't set up the art file properly  ðŸ˜’ (it's me, I'm loser)

The good news is that the Lars + Jin is being remade, and the Lili + Asuka are also in production (in fact, as of this writing they are already heading my way!)! The Kazuya and Jun designs will go into manufactur...

REWARD CLAIM: OOPS EDITION RESERVATION

Olay, so! I've been working on some Tekken merch lately, and I was really excited to get my first batch of Tekken charms...until i received them. You see that white background?

That shouldn't be there 😥

And whose fault was that?

It was all me--I didn't properly set up my artwork, resulting in the flawed results you see. The artwork itself looks great, but the white wasn't intended! Currently, Lars/Jin is being redone, with Kazuya/Jun being redone soon.

ILLUSTRATION DROP: MISHIMA FAMILY MEME

It's finally finished, yayyyy

A few months ago, I thought about this one meme image that I thought would make for a perfect Tekken illustration, so I drafted it up, and...spent forever on it. There were reasons it took so long, and that was largely there were a lot more details than I anticipated. I also felt it needed a little "more" in the background, so I threw in a painting based on Kazuya's Tekken 1 ending (which I admit, I painted over a screenshot...I know, that's cheating...), ...

::WIP WEDNESDAY VOL. 20::

This week it's back to Tekken with something I've been wanting to cook up since Dragunov's story reveal in Tekken 8: He's going on a vacay, and he's gonna check off his bucket list! I'm working on a vacation photo of him--I can't decide if he should be sunburned or not XD Also, I'm definitely adding more to the background!
