"My face is just some dark shape in my past. Another thing I've lost"

I am here for the moon-elf blue-gold eyes for pre-spawn Astarion but I love and appreciate all the color theories.
Added a little bonus version with some red eyes for familiarity for you as well🧛
Both version are attached for you to save and enjoy close up and/or as phone screens etc
Some of the progress steps for the drawing from the post below.
I really enjoyed creating this one for all the regal and cozy colors it ended up having!
“I always thought home would be a place, and indeed it is, but not in any physical sense. It is a place in my heart. It is a feeling given by true friends. I know this now, and know that I am home.”

Some WIP images showing earlier stages of the four page comic.
There was an interesting point in the process where I had to decide if I want to do a black or a white backdrop. The decision to make it dark opened up the opportunity to let the spiraling thoughts bleed above the panel edges and break with the formatting to underline the distress showcased.
I did consider disregarding the panel flow alltogether as well, but in the end decided against it. I tend to stay more conservative w...

Meet Tyrus, drow Tav OC and protagonist of "Perfect Slaughter", a very dark and grim fanfiction retelling Astarions time before the canon events in BG3 (and taking a different route in the process). For all its dark themes and hurt, this currently still ongoing story really left a mark on me and I'm neck deep in digesting it through art.
One aspect I enjoy a surprising amound about being immersed in BG3 as of late, is the joy that drawing original characters in an established ...
A little collection of finished commissions I did a while back!
It got pretty sinister there for a minute, haha! Guess the October vibes where still going strong when I got commissioned for some of these at the end of last year.
Some of you may remember a little snipped of a Suga centric drawing I did a while back.
Here's the full piece, fancy lights and backup-dancers included!
Drawing one of my first favorite silver-haired characters back in September was super nostalgic. I am not ever getting tired of it, it's just less frequent these days I suppose ;)
Done for "To the Stars: A Haikyuu!! Idol Zine".
This was actually supposed to be a three-drawing-series featuring Vash walking through the wasteland at day, evening and night, inspired by the opening of the Remake I absolutely loved. Never came to fruition past this point tho. . .

As a little treat for my higher tier here's the sketch of the last post as well!

My first proper drawing/panel shortstory since taking a break!
And the first time I really was happy with how I portrayed Astarion, too!
It's a nice marriage between my old style and somewhat new techniques because at this point I started introducing a new outline brush in the mix that will show up more prominent in the future.
Panels are actually a good thing when it comes to being overwhelmed with more complex single drawings; The simplicity and individual sections in...

When I started to get back into drawing a while back I still very much felt exhausted rather quickly when working on one drawing alone, so this one somewhat ended up unfinished for the simple reason that I moved on before I could finish it properly.
It is a nice little echo to the drawing posted before that with this one being more situated in the timeline of the games' story.
Seeing it now makes me want to pick it up and try my hand on it again eventually!
Honestly? I don't even know why I never uploaded this one because even after having this one sit for some time I still like what I did there.
Maybe I'm somewhat still scared of going very angsty since I deep dived in his story and felt very drawn to his dark and morbit origins.
When I started to get obsessed with Baldurs Gate 3 (and Astarion) I also started to get back in the groove by studying Astarions face about two months ago.
It's an interesting case considering the game as a source somewhat automatically pushes me in a less stylized direction. The drawings shown are in order of latest to oldest and I personally feel like it nicely shows how I've been experimenting with his facial features, jumping between less or more realistic.
I am suffering fr...
Hey there you lovely folks!
It's been a hot minute and I really hope all of you who are still around or maybe only recently joined had a happy and healthy start into the new year!
Not gonna lie, I'm still trying to figure out how I can make this work a little more responsibly/reliably so that my brain isn't immediately feeling overwhelmed, because this thing is still a lil' delicate😶 while I'm working out the details for that, I would like to simply update you on what I'...
Hey there,
I'm sure you've already noticed that there wasn't any updates on here as of late.
The last year has been a wonderful experience, stepping further into my creative work and sharing it with you, having opportunities open up and work with so many lovely people - but it can also be quite exhausting and challenging and it seems to finally have caught up with me.
Sustaining yourself on art can be difficult balance between doing what you're passionate about and doing wha...
pssst, we didn't even vote yet and the month is already nearing its end (September was a bit crazy), so please don't hesitate and have no mercy; just choose your fave and no one else!🔥
Don't forget to stretch kids (￣▽￣)
Ushijima shows how it's done, being the poster boy for August to really no one's surprise!
I decided that I want to incorporate more artworks actually portraying the boys playing some volleyball, so hopefully this will be one of many more artworks to come🏐
Once I decide what offical team japan jersey they're wearing this will get done!
Another round of some of my latest commissions in the making.
The amound of compositions making me draw characters from a upward angle atm is really testing my skills, haha! By the end of it this angle will be one of my strongest💪

Hey hey, as you might have noticed last months underwear artwork has yet to be provided.
To put it bluntly, Oikawa is giving me a hard time and I've not felt comfortable enough with the work so far to finish it properly. As happy as I was to be able to provide the others by the end of each month/on time up until now, I decided that quality is more important.
Despite the delay, I'll be starting the poll for this months addition after this post, so I can try and get back on schedule befo...
This very fun concept I thought of the other day for a collab work with XPPEN proved itself quite the challenge when it came to face angles.
As you can see in an earlier stage, I had Hinata facing more forward mostly because I didn't get the face to a point I liked. But with the face turned and the pose somewhat shifted, it lost some of it's energy and drive upwards, so I took a breather and revisited the drawing a little later to get it closer to what I mapped out in the sketch.
...
Finished this bad boy (who's really mostly cute)!
Such a fun piece with all the little details I was allowed to add on my own accord and definitely one of my personal favorites I've done in a while☀️
Drawing Punk!Hinata for a commission is a beautiful opportunity to get lost in all the little details!
While I do consider my sketches to be fairly detailed and close to their cleaned-up outlines' version already, it's still fascinating what parts I have to properly revisit and define once I get to outlining.
Sometimes I think it would be good to be even more precise in the sketch phase but it's always a balance between defining shapes and details and leaving it lose enough to be...
A WIP of a current commission I'm working on as well as an earlier sketch stage.
I'm always happy to get an excuse to draw people shooting arrows; such an elegant pose with every muscle working!
While I'm someone who usually makes their sketches already pretty detailed to begin with, it's interesting what subtle changes happen between the sketch stage and the coloring stage.
While I consider both WIPs good representation of Suga as a character, it's interesting to see what little changes I made to improve upon the sketch.
It's subtle, but it's there - and while not all changes are always guaranteed to be choices for the better, it's interesting to study what subtle difference...
Sometimes there's WIPs that are not getting picked up again for a good while.
Usually for me it's simply because I found a better expression with a similar idea down the road, but sometimes it's simply a matter of being overall dissatisfied and not willing to adjust an already existing WIP of the past when it's more fun to just do something new.
This was my first attempt at Vash from Trigun Stampede right after I started watching the show and I wasn't satisfied with ...
I recently did a poster design for merch of an upcoming BNHA fanzine and needed some profile blancs as layout elements.
Profiles certainly tend to be my favorite kind of angle on a face when it comes to shapes and shading. It's certainly one of the easiest there is, but it's a great test in pin pointing specific characteristica of a face and exercising shading techniques.
While these ended up being pretty heavily edited losing most of their color and shade for the actu...
Already half the month over an the poll hasn't even started yet? Shame on me!
So vote away for this months poster boy!✨
