Tabatha- 2013 Concept Art

To get a better view click here : Link

An unreleased Tabby artwork I made in 2013. Back then, I was experimenting with Tabby's design, trying to replace her previous head ornaments with something new.

As you can see, the design of the spade hair brooch wasn't quite defined yet because I was just testing how she would look.

I decided...

My Fire Flower

Compare it with Mario's version of this cute postcard: Link

For the background, I made a combination of  elements. For instance, I was trying to evoke the vibe of the first stage of Super Mario Land, as a reference to Daisy's origins back in the Game Boy era.

However, since that g...

My Super Star (Vectors BG)

A quick inside look on how the Background for this picture is build :)

Originally I was planning to go for the Super Mario Bros 3 exact appearance for the BG, but I decided to soften some black elements on it. In my opinion, it was becoming too visually distracting. 

After all, I wanted the characters to be the center of the attention, not the background  :)

My Super Star

You can compare it with the previous sketch here: Link

February is already on it's way, and I think this artwork will fit perfectly with it. 

You can also check out Luigi's version of this cute digital postcard :)

Luigi-2016 version (WIP)

Based on: Link

I was going to submit this picture as it was, but I noticed so many things that could be improved that I decided to work on a new version instead.

I hope you like the improvement so far  :)

My Superstar (WIP)

I decided to repurpose an idea I presented sometime ago: Link

While it was a cute illustration in itself, I figured people would've appreciated it more if it was presented with more recognizable characters. By doing this new version, I'll also try to prove this theory.

 

I'm  planning to do a version that involves Luigi too, changing certain key elements of the scene. View Post

Player 2

I'm just trying to express a different type of emotion with this picture. 

I think I've never done it before, I'm not sure why... 

I feel you Luigi, I really do.

A day at the beach

It's been a LOOONG time since my last bikini pin-up in the gallery, so I hope I'm not too rusty at them XD

I decided to tag this with a mature filter despise not being nearly as explicit as it should be. I opted to include a mildly suggestive theme in there, just in case somebody didn't want to see it. Let me know what you think about it.

Commissioned by Coleslayer. Iva and Cassandra are characters originally created by him, and recently redesigned by me.

Goomba




“The Goomba was the last enemy created during the development process of Super Mario Bros. despite being the first encountered. During development, the only basic enemy was the Koopa Troopa. 


However, play testers had stated that the Koopa Troopa was too tricky of an enemy to have as the first one. Using this, the developers decided to create an enemy that could be defeated with a single stomp. 


The Goomba itself ...

I'm Daisy (Scrapped Sketches)

Some sketches I made while I was working on the "I'm Daisy" artwork. I scrapped them  because I felt the artwork was driving itself away from the original sketch I made.

I'm Daisy

If Nintendo is not going to give Daisy the attention she deserves, I WILL!!!

Sketch submissions

I had a couple of ideas in regard of sketch submissions, and how should we treat them here.

I have the feeling that by a good number of circumstances, it might not be efficient to submit  rough sketches on patreon, but you can correct me if I'm wrong.

I was thinking that it could make the patreon feed hard to navigate for the constant updates. We can treat them differently, just  to k...

Tabby sketches #2

A series of sketches I did with Tabby back in November. I hope you like them :)

New equipment

As I promised earlier, if I ever bought new equipment with your contribution, I was going to inform you what I actually got.

I think I mentioned that just when I started Patreon my old scanner started malfunctioning, and suddenly stopped working.  It left me unable to scan my pencil sketches. I had to take pictures of every sketch I wanted to show you, with the hope that the old scanner start...

My old Scanner

Today, I wanted to show a trivial aspect in the way I work my art. Maybe you'll find it interesting, maybe you won't, but that's okay. 

What you see here is the scanner in which I digitized my works from 2009 to 2015.

I bought it in an afternoon of January of 2009. I wanted to have a way to transfer the sketches I made to my computer. 

Up until that point, I didn't have a good camera, and virtually no way to scan anything, so it became an essential piece of equipment in ...

Lucina Fit Trainer (Alt)

You can compare it with the female trainer outfit here: Link


As stated before, part of my idea involving Lucina's new artwork was to make a masked version, too.  

Since she's supposed to be disguised as Marth while using the mask, I figured it would be fitting for her to use the male trainer outfit to go along with it. Besides, I wanted to draw short haired Lucina too, and this seemed to be...

Lucina (Back and Front)

Explained in the previous post :Link

Since the reflection of Lucina is less visible in the final artwork, I wanted to show you how the drawing actually looks like without the mirror blur.

I also decided to capture the anime flat shading of both artworks, so you can compare it with the final artwork: Link

Lucina (Alt Costume)

Part of my idea involving Lucina's new artwork was to make a masked version too. Not only that, but to use the alternate costume of wii fit trainer as well.

I'll get back to you as soon as a finish this series of pictures, Including: This alt costume with her mirror version, as well as the reflection in the mirror of Lucina's  previous artwork.

Lucina's back (Mirrow)

By suggestion of Soran I decided to work in the reflection on the mirror of Lucina. 

I wanted to save some time doing in it in a simple way, But even I have a hard time leaving those details away, so I'm gonna fix it. I think it could be a good practice. 

It's been  long time since I drew a cute lady's back side, so it's not all that bad XD

Lucina Fit Trainer (Alt. Expressions)

I figured that somebody could feel bad because of Lucina's expression in this picture, and the fact that she's ashamed for wearing that type of outfit.

Because of that, I made a set of slightly different expressions. So, if you don't like the one I used, you can pick the one you like the most :)

Fun fact, this is how the final version of the artwork looked, but I decided to make a full body picture while I was working on it.

Lucina Fit Trainer

I feel the burn, indeed! :D

Starting 2016, I had this sudden urge to draw Lucina for some reason, and at the same time I wondered: Has somebody already drawn Lucina wearing the Wii Fit Trainer's outfit? 

The answer... Well, probably. I mean, we're on the internet, after all! However, I didn't want to scrap the idea.

I'm gonna submit another set of related artworks, but you'll have to wait a bit to understand what I'm talking about. I hope you ...

Dante and Amaterasu

Based on a suggestion made by CJ. 

I wanted the artwork to have a similar art style to the oficial illustrations of Okami. Hence, I experimented a bit with the coloring, I added some textures, and I tried to give a  natural feel to the outline brush strokes.  I hope you like it :)

Cassandra Nelbrook

I'd like share the description of this character provided by Terrel, from which we started her design process :)

Cassandra  comes from a race of sun worshipers called, Arkinians. They believe the sun is Arkin, the mother of their race after she ascended to glory.

Arkinians are a very unusual magical race. Their hair is white, all but the tips which are either, green, red, or purple. And they are always born with a birth mark in the shape of marks they call, Arkinshy's.

Idea for a project #1

Okay, it might sound like a crazy idea, and I still don't know if I'll be able to pull it out, but let me explain it to you.

30 characters in 30 days.

The idea behind this challenge is for my style to become faster, loose, spontaneous and to learn how to let go the mistakes it can have. 

Since I have to deliver one character per day, I'll be forced to leave the small details as they are and move on to the next piece.

The background should be left aside ...

Flow (Edit)

Since I was going to share this artwork outside my Deviantart gallery, I decided to make some changes to it.  I didn't changed the estructure of the drawing at all, I just adjusted the color values and added more light effects to it, plus the glasses.

In my opinion she looks more dreamy now, I hope you like the new version  :D
