Last of artfight for the year

And here we are! 2 revenges and 2 attacks.

The first one was almost not posted until I checked on the last day if the person picked a team and they did. Which is great because this one was personally one of my fave. 2nd and 3rd are revenges for Darko and Zero :D and the last one, if you noticed, is of a different style from the rest because it's actually drawn 2 years ago during my first year of artfight. I found this cute axolotl fairy character but the owner never picked a team until...

Misc. stuff

Respectively:

Luminus by akamavarii in Artfight. They are one of the first I drew for Af but the person didnt end up picking a team. Maybe they will in the future so I'll keep it here for now. They look pretty cool and I thought you guys may as well appreciate it.

Scrapped artfight sketch/lines. It was looking stiff for me and while I didnt want the time I spent on it to waste, I was feeling unmotivated to color the thing so I redrew it.

Landscapes blurring studies

There was this short that I came across a long while ago but the instructions were simple enough for me to remember.

It's about using blur on the reference image to force you to ignore the smaller and finer details and look at the bigger picture. It's not required but I personally would suggest using only a few brushes, especially if you're not going all the way to 0 blur. But whatever brushes you use it's up to you. I personally went for this flat brush that has a nice 80-90 opacity in...

Artfights!!

Some attacks and revenges. There's likely one or two more I wanna do before July ends.

There's also 2 others I drew as stockpile but the people ended up not picking a team this year so I couldn't post them. I'll upload them in a bit. This gives me a new outlook into only doing stockpile attacks (art I make before the event) for people who I know for sure are going to do artfight aka mutuals and friends. I usually don't wish to do that and just go for strangers and look for species but t...

Sukh At

A character I made for Fabula Ultima with some friends. They are a shapeshifter, maining Chimerist class and some 2 others.

Here's a bit of background I wrote for them to start:

Leave the dreaming wilds to adventurers and fools who value their lives very little. It is not a place to be tamed or to be trifled with. As for the creatures that call it home, they make good props for scaring unruly children into discipline. Not that it did any good to the curious one.

Bai and Eonis reference sheet

for Artfight! Yes, I'm not hiding my characters this year as I do plan to draw more than err 4 like last year. Eonis could have more information on his sheet (I mean look at it next to Bai's) but as of now, those are the important bits.

Are you guys joining artfight this year? If so, what team did you join or plan to join? I picked the munchies for Aedis.

M5S clear + some OC sketches

I did my first current patch savage raiding over a month ago. It was super fun and Bukoya was there to teach me the ropes. I can forgive this one male lala. I don't intend to clear the tier (it's a Tesla car...) but the challenge is fun itself. The fight yes, not exactly the randos haha. And I'm feeling it with M6S.

Anyway, here are also some OC sketches, Zipper and the likes. The last two are new ones - Sukh At, a character I made for Fabula Ultima that a group of friends wanna do a o...

Revising an old kemono design

This is a female kemono I design way back for the kemono zine Grande Valse brillante. She does not have a name though that will change in the future.

I was bored one night and thought I would draw this character again because I do like how I designed her. I then found some trouble with the hair so I did some tweaking and also ended up changing the pants and here it is.

A bit of fun fact: Since Zipper, I haven't had an OC (not that I remember) that is furry and I mean with fur. The...

One Year of Ysa Khal

One year ago today, I played FFXIV after a long long time of my friends coughChlorescough telling me about it. It's been a blast so far. I drew Ysa as my first class - lancer and a job I like currently - dark knight. It's one of my faves but for this, I chose it for the pose ahah. It parallels well with the lance.

Marker icons p2

This took a long dumb time for me to… not finish per se but upload? I’m starting to understand more what managers are for. Sometimes I just wanna make something but talking gives me anxiety that I make it bigger than it really is (like none actually).

Bai, Pierce, and starborn bat

Some paintings I did.

You can notice how Bai's and the starborn bat art looks cleaner than Pierce. It's because the base I clipped the actual coloring layers on was made using a very opaque brush. Also each layer of objects or elements had their own bases so the clean up was better. Pierce's base was made by the same brush I used for the coloring and rendering so it's like a marker with some transparent parts here and there and more soft.

I love both for their own reasons.

Sage Ysa

I am inlove with this weapon and so I designed the glam around it. And of course I had to draw it after I got the chestpiece. I saved a transparent BG version of this because I spent way too long deciding on the color of the background because the values of the pants were blending with the BG color. Either it was the brown or the blackish-brown.

Some art the past week

I am very much in love with painting lately lol. I am in that phase of kinda trying different ways to uhh how do I put it, streamline (?) the process for me personally. There's 3 more of this that I made but I will post them separately later.

Characters in order:

Mars by Lurils
Helmer from Furhire Yugi-oh
Leon by well, Leon
Shadow the Hedgehog
Nyatta by Saeed

Astrologian Ysa

Been having fun with this job lately. I was having a go again at healing again, especially jobs I never picked up or abandoned long ago coughWHMcough and out of those 3, AST is what I enjoy the most so far.

Anyway, this is my go at a messier lineless painting, using the same brushes I use for the marker icons. I like how this turned out and it's very fun and relaxing, I don't wanna say what hour I slept because I wanted to keep painting this lol. It's great for simplifying the overall ...

Ysa lore?

Was daydreaming a while ago about building some Ysa's backstory. There's a inside joke about Ysa loving earning money and then I thought about spinning that into her lore. Perhaps it could be a goal to try and make that short comic sometime this year? I haven't done a comic in uhh years but some much needed fixation could give me the boost.

Some I finished much earlier. Commissioned by Leon, Vita, and Aweshock respectively.

10 marker icons

Some 10 of 15 of the requests. I nearly lost this file because my PC decided to bluescreen of death and the file became corrupted. Thankfully I found a 2 yr old solution that gave me back almost all the progress but it's a whole lot better than nothing.

But anyway, I've decided to add this type to choices for monthly tier 3 requests. o/

Previous sketches. New reward maybe?

from the requests earlier among other things.

I've thought about how fun I had with the marker coloring style and I thought of maybe adding as one of the choices for tier 3 monthly rewards.

My Character Chart part!!

Full chart:

 

I did mine with this new marker experimental style I've been doing. I'm having fun with it! As you can see, I did previous attempts before but I wasn't having fun with them or feel satisfied like I know it looks like a waste especially having finished one but the thought of doing the rest with the same-ish style and my mood, I'd rather start over.

Some sketches and paints

I'm using this square semi transparent brush for flat colors and doing some hatching to clean some areas up and I like it a lot! Also doing some one layer painting. Haven't done all of the requests yet so the others will be in a different part.

Art trades with Bukoya

Some trades I did with Bukoya. He loves Furhire a decent normal amount I think.

In order, the characters are Helmer and Beat, Andy and Ayo, Fie (character by Efi), and Helmer again.

For Streaks

Something I do for Streaks every 6 months. They wish for their tier 3 reward to be this instead every 6 months which I agreed to. I don't know if someone else would like this but hey, it's out there. It's supposed to be just 1 full render though but what happened is that I was already finished with the sketch and flat colors with the first version of this until I went back to check on the description that I did not entirely followed it so I redid the sketch and I liked it a lot. I finished th...

Ehll Tou + Aedis inspo + Ysa sketches

Drew best dragon in FFXIV :) I like her a lot and I drew adult form Aedis with some inspiration from Ehll Tou. Just really like the spikes on the back of the head.

The rest are sketches of my WoL, Ysa. I was practicing doing the shape for the hair.
