Magik & Kate Pryde SFW

Hey y’all!

Two of my faves back in the canvas, low key missed them.

I wanted to create a really intense and intimate atmosphere, that’s why I avoided the usual yellows/greens from my palettes and insisted on some high contrast shadows with mostly dark tones around them.

As always, you can download the wallpapers from the post or get them from our collection here View Post

Magik & Kate WIP

Hey y’all!

Working with two frequents to the page.

Not sure why but I’ve been really wanting to push the creativity with the uses of powers in painting. It’s fun to figure it out.

Anyway! Remember NSFW requests are open for Seraphims and the poll is opening tomorrow morning. Posting this in a couple days (color WIP in the community chat), so stay tuned.

See ya!

All the love.

Cloak & Dagger

Hey y’all!

They’re doing Captain America’s job.

First time drawing these two and of course it had to be a night piece, wanted to give a spin to the classic Batman pose/angle with some Y2K photoshoot kinda vibe. Trying different approaches to the lighting when it comes to guiding the eye through the piece.

GOTG comm & Dagger WIP

Hey y’all!

Ngl this might be one of my favorite backgrounds ever and it’s just a bunch of random shapes and effects simulating a nebula.

Star Lord and the commissioner’s OC having a moment in the ship. So happy I finally got to draw the classic GOTG costumes, not so happy that it’s the MCU version, but can’t win ‘em all.

Also, making slow progress on that Cloak & Dagger piece and risking it a lot with the angle but kinda love how stupidly complicated it is to...

Cloak & Dagger WIPs

Happy sunday y’all.

The bisexual urge to draw Cloak & Dagger finally got to me.

I feel like we don’t get to see them in casual clothes very often? May be because I’ve never been a frequent reader of them but that got me interested in the idea.

Anyway! Might be posting another commission this week and leaving this for the weekend.

See ya!

All the love.

Jean Grey NSFW

So, the initial idea for this was “what would Jean do to make her nudes look unique to her?” The answer was mental illusions, immediately.

BUT you can’t really use those powers through a photo unless you’re directly manipulating the viewer’s mind at the moment of seeing the photo. Heres where the game starts, because if you just plant the changed image in the subject’s mind beforehand, then it kinda stops being a photo, so you gotta wait until they see it but you have to dec...

Jean Grey SFW

Hey y’all!

Some mental games.

I’ve been researching the romanticism and pre-raphaelite movement lately and got kinda stuck on John Everett Millais. Wanted to take on the way his brushstrokes made the whole piece, have life of its own and as plane a sit should be, look like it keeps on moving.

Of course I had to include some of the characteristics of the movements: the nature, the alternate approach to repeated subjects and just be direct with it. When im doing something ...

Polaris & Syrin Commission

Hey y’all!

Fresh out of the oven, once again drawing Lorna and Terry with special Dazzler appearance.

Taking inspo from classic romcom scenes, the only indications were to use a reference from a viral tweet and have Lorna’s big hair, so I went wild with the rest.

Might be posting the final Jean piece by the end of the week since I’ve been making progress in between Comms.

Anyway, see ya soon!

All the love.

Jean Grey WIP

Hey y’all!

This is gonna be a classic y’all.

Experimenting a bit, gotta put the mind to work so I don’t get too bored doing the NSFWs.

Might put this on hold while I work on commissions this week, so you’ll be seeing one of those finals before this!

See ya in a couple days.

All the love.

Lorna/Terry & Starlord WIP

Hey y’all!

Making progress on Comms but resting for the weekend, so here we are! First time drawing Starlord, unfortunately is Chris Pratt’s, fortunately it’s also James Gunn’s.

Might post tomorrow again with a NSFW WIP, but it depends on how advance I’m on it.

See ya!

All the love.

The Thing NSFW

Something about his proportions make it so fucking fun and intuitive to draw. His skin is a texture problem but the way he’s shaped solves it instantly and makes it insanely less tenuous to paint.

I wanted some kind of sunday cooking vibe, like he just woke up and went straight to the kitchen.

Anyway! Now working on commissions, so I might post one this weekend and see if I start another photoshoot piece or get to that Reed one.

See ya in a couple days!

All the love....

The Thing SFW

Hey y’all!

He’s a nepobaby.

Idk why I thought this would be so funny, initially it was supposed to be a study to later do a Ben piece but something clicked about the pose, one thing led to the other and we end up with The Thing influencer.

As always, you can download the wallpapers from the post or get them from our collection here.

The Thing WIP

Sup y’all!

Slowly making progress on this one, trying to not go too realistic nor too plain with the textures and still making it fit with my style for regular characters. Lots of things to have in mind all at the same time while looking at multiple sandstone pictures on the side.

Also working on the commissions of this month, couple of fun ones which I’ll probably be able to show y’all later in the week as I make progress. One last slot still available btw, DM or email if i...

The Thing & Polaris/Syrin WIPs

Hey y’all!

I’m finally doing it, the only Fantastic Four member I haven’t ever done and the one that will probably make me go insane.

Also, a lil WIP of a new Lorna and Terry commission, kinda closeup.

Posting these whenever they’re done, terrified of starting to paint that Ben for now. See ya!

All the love.

Dust

Hey y’all!

Alright, the first thing that came to my mind when I was making the mood board for this was the fact that her powers are perfect for those ‘bus passes and character behind it disappears’ kind of scenes and one thing lead to the other, resulting in wanting to make this look like those classic detective french films with the green-yellow palettes.

Had to make her look stylish af, ofc and include the snow leopard sticker on the phone.

Dust WIP

Hey y’all!

Working on that dust piece. I think having so much space in black because of her niqab is actually forcing me to add more detail on the rest of the piece, so it’ll be interesting to see how this will come out.

Anyway! Just a reminder that there still is one commission slot open for the public. Starting to work on them this week, and posting either WIPs or the final of this one on friday.

See ya!

All the love.

She-Hulk NSFW

Something something big lats.

Sketching this was a lot of fun, didn’t know where to find buff women as references so I ended up using like 3 or 4 refs for each body part (would not recommend).

Also, can we talk about the hair? Been having so much fun painting hair since I decided to go back to the drawing board and study some of my big inspirations to find out how they worked that part.

Anyway, Dust won the SFW poll! Immediately getting to it cause I’m excited af. T...

She Hulk SFW

Hey y’all!

Gotta wake up early at the Baxter building.

I think I’m actually way too hyped about the fantastic four movie and it’s getting to me.

The first draft of this idea was a simple pin up with the F4 uniform, but ended up wanting to do something a bit more complex and with some humor to go with Jen’s character, so I got three points: broken/messy bed, wake up early, alarm.

She-Hulk WIP

Yes, I finally came up with an idea for a She-Hulk NSFW.

Kind of a silly one but having a hell of a good time with it, not sure exactly when I’ll be posting it but it’ll be either tomorrow or monday.

In the meantime, remember to go vote on the SFW poll right below this post! Really interesting options, all first timers this time, dominion’s and seraphims understood the assignment.

See ya!

All the love.

SFW Poll!

Hey y’all!

Been wanting to do a casual photoshoot kind of piece but been struggling to come up with different characters than usual, so here are the options dominions and seraphims gave us.

It’s a lot of options, so I might do two pieces, winner and runner up.

Remember it’s multiple option and you have exactly two days to vote. Have fun!

All the love.

Rogue (Keke) Commission

Hey y’all!

Honestly, I didn’t realize I needed to do some fan cast art again until now.

Pretty sure this is the first time I got commissioned something like this. The idea was simply a fun pin up-ish piece with Keke Palmer as Rogue in the classic costume, so I just ran with it and here we are.

The composition is pretty simple so I just focused on the details of the character (look at that jacket, dawg).

Also! Opening the public commissions today, a couple m...

Rogue Commission WIP

Hey y’all!

It’s sure been a while since the last time I made a fancast, so I knew this commission would be a lot of fun. Keke Palmer just fits the role like a glove (get it? My bad).

Anyway! Opening the SFW Requests later today and the poll on friday. Might also post another WIP in thursday, same day I’m opening the public commissions.

Busy week ahead, see ya later tho!

All the love.

Angel NSFW

Wanted this to have a clear renaissance feel to it and what more renaissance than a beautiful man completely nude posing while being visually depressed.

The thing that’s always attracted me about Warren is this duality between Archangel and himself, the servitude and violence against the carefreeness and heroism.

You can see the representation of that conflict repeating everywhere in the piece: the strong lights against the strong shadows, the somber expression against the cheer...

Angel SFW

Hey yall!

I just think we didn’t appreciate long hair psychotic Warren enough.

While looking through my files I found that Angel piece I made around 2 years ago and thought it was crazy that I haven’t drawn him so long.

I got to it immediately (yes, even with the comms, Raven and original going on) and had to use Abbott Thayer’s work as the main reference. His work with Angels had three identifiable characteristics: young women, somber colors, peaceful and even endeari...

Hey y’all!

You ever have your friend who you know is not a bad person do something weird af? Well, this is based on a real experience lol.

I felt like these two and their dynamic were perfect for this.

The composition is a direct homage to Norman Rockwell’s The Runaway piece. I know it’s used by police officers to convert their purpose of “protect and serve” which is only ironic, but for that reason I thought I could pick this one to be silly with.

So I had t...

Raven Pin Up NSFW

I’m not really sure if I planned to do it like this originally but hey, we already here.

Kinda obsessed with how I ended up rendering her legs, trying to keep the contrast not too high and the detail definitely low.

Btw! Patron commissions still open, one taken and one available. COMMS INFO tag for details and DM or email if interested!

Now I’ll actually be posting the original pin up this week, so see ya in a couple days.

Falcon Commission

Hey y’all!

Another fresh out of the oven comm.

This is the commissioner’s OC and Sam around the Civil War period having a wedding in Wakanda, living clandestine.

Wanted it to have a very warm vibe, contrasting with the black and purples from that Black Panther world.

Anyway! Starting a new piece today and hopefully posting WIPs either tomorrow or friday. Also opening the couple patron commission slots, so stay tuned!
