WIP WHENSDAY, VOL. 19

Hello, lovelies! It's Spooky Season, so to commemorate, I'm working on Darkstalkers artwork on stream during the month of October! To kick things off, here's Morrigan and...Rikuo? I wanted to include a few characters that may not be as popular...buuuut I also thought "Well, we have the sexy lady in Morrigan, but what about a sexy man?" And then it occurred to me--the Curiously Attractive Fishman, Rikuo!

These will be available as larger-sized stickers sometime next year. Other charact...

PROGRESS REPORT, 9/22

Hey, lovelies. Gonna let y'all know what's been going on lately, so let's cut to the chase:

About a week ago, I suffered a mental breakdown. For once it wasn't related to my job, but it was related to my art in a way. I've been pushing myself too hard, trying to do so much that it had warped my perspective on my work and made me feel completely useless. I had also been dealing with stress from some recent matters in my personal life (which have been handled for the most part, and thing...

MERCH MAKINGS: FF boys in Virgin Killer Sweaters

...I couldn't come up with a better title I'm sorry

Anyway! As part of my Noctis/Clive agenda phase thing I'm currently undergoing, I've designed stickers of Noctis and Clive sporting those infamous Virgin Killer Sweaters! I tried out a new colouring technique when creating these. I'll keep you guys posted as to when they'll be available!
And who knows; maybe other FF boys may get the treatment down the line...

::WIP WEDNESDAY vol. 18::

Hey, lovelies! WIP Wednesday is back with a showcase of more Tekken stickers! This one is more of a showcase of Tekken past and present, with Bob + Julia and Hwoarang + Steve representing Street Fighter x Tekken, Azucena (best girl) + Lili for Tekken 8, and Alisa + Xiaoyu for Blood Vengeance! Some of these designs will also be charms! I'll be working on some of them on stream, so be sure to stay tuned! 

ILLUSTRATION DROP: THE NOCTIS/CLIVE AGENDA

I joked around with some Final Fantasy friends on twittah about drawing Noctis from FFXV and Clive from FFXVI reenacting that one artwork from Capcom vs. SNK of Chun-Li and Mai standing face-to-face, booba-to-booba. I thought it would be funny, and then a lot of folks said I should do it.

So I did it :D

This is just the beginning of what's been a bit of an art binge featuring these two--some very sexy stickers are coming!

Large-size prints are under way, as well as small...

PROGRESS REPORT 9/7/23

Hey, lovelies! Figured I'd give y'all the haps on what to expect in the coming weeks:

*Noct and Clive art
I may have stumbled onto a crackship, heh. So naturally, I've been working on some illustrations including cross-dressing art, prints, and stickers. I may make a mini zine pack with charms and stickers--we'll see! The first piece of Noct and Clive artwork will be available Saturday!

*TEKKEN
The Tekken takeover is underway! I just submi...

::REWARDS LAST CALL::

Hey, lovelies! I'm doing a Last Call for anyone wanting a copy of the City Pop Morrigan mini prints! If you're still interested in a copy, sound off below! The cutoff is Friday, and I'll be placing the order Saturday. For those of you who have expressed interest, I'll be contacting you this weekend!

The next reward claim will be for Tekken goods, so please keep an eye out!

::HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NOCTIS::

It's that time of the year again--Noctis's birthday! Every August 30th, I try to make it a point to make a new illustration for the occasion, and this year I decided to make not one, not two, but *three* illustrations in a set I call "Lost Summer". Maybe I'll make a comic short about it; we'll see~

In the meantime, help yourselves to the high-res downloads! Reservations for physical copies of the collection will open up for $20+ patrons soon, with $5 tiers receiving one of the pieces (...

MERCH MAKINGS: TEKKEN PINS

Good afternoon, lovelies! I'm coming in a bit clutch, but as promised I have the finished artwork for the first batch of Tekken pins!

This batch includes Lars (naturally; he's my fave!), Kazuya, and Xiaoyu! There were plans to originally have these made into star-shaped button badges, and I do plan on going through with that, but a friend also suggested the possibility of doing charms based on these designs.

If you look at the artwork, you'll see another Lars there--this is ess...

CITY POP MORRIGAN MINI PRINT RESERVATION ::OPEN::

Hey, lovelies! I'm going to be ordering the mini print versions of the City Pop Morrigan illustration. If you're reading this, you qualify for a free copy!

Be sure to sound off in the comments! Once the prints are made, you will be contacted so I can get your mailing address!

The prints will measure 5 x 7 and will be printed on heavy cardstock!

WIP WHENSDAY vol. 17

KOMBAT TIME!! With the newest installment in the Mortal Kombat series set to drop next month, I decided to get cracking on some stickers to commemorate the occasion!

The first set will consist of Li Mei, Syzoth(Reptile), Havik, and Mileena! The second set will consist of Kitana, Kenshi, Tanya, and Ashrah (coming soon!).
These will be worked on my stream during the month of September--there will be warnings for violence considering that, well, Havik is literally ripping his own arm ...

MERCH UPDATE 8/15

Hey, lovelies! Giving y'all a progress report on upcoming merch! Here's what's going on:

-Leo Whitefang charms arrived a couple of weeks ago! However, I'm going to wait until the Sol Badguy, Giovanna, and B. Jenet charms arrive before showing those off.

-May and Nagoriyuki are currently in production at my manufacturer, Zap Creatives.

-Morrigan prints will be ordered early September. I have a few more illustrations I'm currently finishing up and would like to order as...

ILLUSTRATION DROP: MORRIGAN

I finally finished this, yayyyy~

Okay, so! I had started work on this as far back as February (OOF), but kept putting this on the backburner for a lot of reasons (read: I kept putting off working on the background). But, I finally made myself sit down and finish this, as I love the idea too much to leave it on the backburner for long!

Morrigan is a long-time favourite of many of a fighting game enjoyer, myself included! However, I wanted to do something a little different with t...

NEW ART DROP THURSDAY!

Bad news, yall...there won't be a WIP Wednesday update tomorrow 😔

Rad news, tho! New artwork drops tomorrow! 😊 High res downloads will be available to all tiers, and $10+ tiers will be offered prints! Stay tuned...😘

::WIP WEDNESDAY, vol. 16::

It's time, lovelies! As promised, I have a bunch of new merch designs to show off--I spent the better part of the weekend drafting these pieces, which largely features Tekken, some KoF, and even Fighting Vipers, as a treat! All full-body artwork will be made into standees; the Tekken artworks will be repurposed for stickers as well (from the waist-up) because I don't want to create brand new artwork for stickers (unless it's Lars because he's my fave lolololol). I'll be working on these on st...

PROGRESS REPORT, 7/30/23

Hey, lovelies! Just a heads up; there's going to be a large post incoming for the next WIP Wednesday. I've been very productive this weekend designing more fighting game merch, including standees (Most Tekken but also features KoF and Fighting Vipers of all things) and sticker/charm designs. I'll be sharing all of this Wednesday.

On the Final Fantasy side of things, I'll be sharing WIPs for a notebook design and a possible series of stickers/charms. This will be posted the following W...

::WIP WEDNESDAY vol. 16::

The Tekken hype continues! I'm drafting another poster/print that will be featured as part of my table next year! This piece features Jin Kazama as well as the core characters who are important to him in Tekken 8. Originally planned as a design for tote bags, the dimensions of the bag weren't suitable for the artwork...but maybe something like gaming mousepads and fight stick art could be considered?

I do apologise for my radio silence in terms of finished work as of late. I've been su...

WIP WEDNESDAY vol. 15

Hello, lovelies! Got another WIP to share, with Tekken being the main feature!

These drafts are for a series of Tekken charms/stickers! They're inspired by a series of FFXV acrylic charms that featured various character pairings. I wanted to do the same with Tekken so as to have something for everyone! Currently, Lars + Jin, Kazuya + Jun, and Lili + Asuka are in the works! Jin + Hwoarang is currently being drafted. I hope to add more characters, but it will have to wait until more char...

MERCH SHOWCASE vol. 2

Guess what I supposed to post this past weekend?
Guess what I forgot to post this past weekend? 😅😅

Belated update notwithstanding, these are the latest charms in my Guilty Gear Strive charm collection, featuring Bridget and Millia! Both charms measure approximately 3 inches tall and are double-sided. These will be available in my ko-fi shop this fall!

MERCH SHOWCASE: Prints Roundup VOL. 1

Hey, lovelies! My latest batch of prints just arrived courtesy of Cat Print!
All three prints are on heavy cardstock; Goku and Cammy are a matte finish, while Skarlet has a shimmer finish! These prints measure 5 x 7 each, and will retail at $10USD each!

If you've received any of my Noct prints, you know that these prints are of exceptional quality!

Stay tuned! More merch is on the way!

ANOTHER MERCH UPDATE

Good news, y'all! The prints have arrived, as well as the Bridget and Millia charms. I'll be showing off the Prints Thursday, and the charms this weekend, so please look forward to it! I'll have new artwork to show very soon, too (next Monday at the earliest). Thanks again for bearing with me; the "dry spell" is almost over! 

Progress Report 7/9/23

Hey lovelies! I know I've been really quiet lately and content has been a little dry. I'm waiting on print and charm orders arrive, but I'm not slacking, either! I'm working on new illustrations, including the summer Noct collection! I should be able to show off the prints soon!

WIP WEDNESDAY vol.14

A little peek at some of the work I'm putting into Pretty Fierce, my original comic! Work is very gradually coming along as merch is my current priority, but I am drafting pages and working on an ink + colour test featuring the two leading ladies.

MERCH UPDATES

Hey, lovelies! Just thought I'd give y'all the haps on what's going on with current merch production:

*Guilty Gear Strive charms of Bridget and Millia are in production and will be shipping out this week

*Prints of Goku, Skarlet, and Cammy dressed as Tekken's King have also been ordered. These will measure 5x7. Skarlet will be on Shimmer card stock, while Goku and Cammy will remain on regular heavy card stock.

*Kiryu and Lars pillow plushes are being finalised and will be...

ILLUSTRATION DROP: SKARLET

I posted a WIP of her weeks ago, and now she's finally complete (komplete?): Skarlet from Mortal Kombat! I fell in love with her updated design when she was revealed in Mortal Kombat 11, and while I have drawn her previously (check the tags), I wanted to create another illustration for her! If you've seen the WIP, I was trying out glazing using Copics which...has had some success. I definitely need to practise this technique further, but I do think it's worth exploring!

This will be a...

MERCH UPDATE: GUILTY GEAR STRIVE STICKERS

Hey, lovelies! My latest sticker order has arrived, courtest of StickerApp! These are the latest to join the Guilty Gear Strive series of stickers! They are just shy of three inches and printed on matte material. These will be added to my ko-fi shop in late summer!

More Guilty Gear stickers are under way (such as the Pride set), as well as Tekken stickers! What else will be on the way? Stay tuned!

WIP WHENSDAY vol. 13: GUILTY GEAR PRIDE CHARMS (concept)

Hey, lovelies! Now that I've survived the FFXV Zine Fest, I can carry on in my journey to table at a fighting game tournament next year!

As this is Pride Month, my focus is on making Guilty Gear Pride charms! Guilty Gear has a few LGBTQ characters in its cast, such as Venom (gay), Testament (non-binary), Bridget (transgender) and recently there's word that Anji is bisexual! While that is currently being debated, there's enough evidence to suggest he is bi, and frankly, bisexual erasur...

PROGRESS REPORT, 6/5/23

Hey, lovelies! It's been a good while since I've done one of these (this might be the first I've done all year?). There's a lot that's been going on on my end, so let's get to it:

FIGHTING GAMES
You're likely noticing more fighting game artwork in recent posts--I'm working on hoping to score a table at either Texas Showdown or Combo Breaker next year, and that means creating as much as I can--not just for the event itself, but for the application process. I want to ...

::GUILTY GEAR STRIVE: BRIDGET::

It took short of forever, but Bridget is finally complete and joins my line of Guilty Gear stickers, which currently consists of I-No, Jack-O, Sol Badguy, Leo Whitefang, Giovanna, and Millia Rage! Axl Low will be joining soon, and Nagoriyuki is in the works!

She'll be available as a charm, as well!

As with the previous characters, Bridget also has two bonus palettes. One of these designs will be released as a sticker as well! 

BARBIE x FFXV? (INTEREST CHECK)

Hey, lovelies! So, I couldn't resist the Barbie meme and just had to get crackin' on it--but then it occurred to me; these would be pretty neat as stickers and/or heart-shaped button badges! So, if you're reading this, I'm doing an interest check--if you'd like to have these as a reward item, sound off so I know how many orders I need to place!
