Skipped commissions entirely this week so I could catch up on other projects, plus I had IRL obligations, so not as much to share as usual -- but the stuff I do have is pretty cool! 1. Winter Walk (Super Smash Bros) Finally finished the update to my poster from Frostbite 2020! Now all the female cha

Only one commission this week, but I've been working on some lewd stuff for the upcoming rework of my Patreon and the debut of my Fanbox (a Pixiv platform similar to Patreon). 1. Ayumi (Vtuber OC): Tested out a new lineart brush with this and I really like how it turned out! I still default to my ol

1. Lucina (Fire Emblem), Madoka Kaname (Puella Magi Madoka Magica), Caroline (OC): Cutting back on the profile pictures for awhile so that I can get some other stuff done this month! I really like how these turned out -- especially the Madoka. 2. Samus / Metroid Drip: This is a cleaned and separated

Happy New Year! A new piece of Chinese Zodiac art for 2022, plus the usual 6 commissions. Things will switch up starting next week, so please look forward to it! 1. Tiger / Raita (original) -- I tried a few different versions of this, but all had a yakuza theme. I liked the idea of horizontal tears

Merry Christmas! Stay safe and have fun, y'all! 1. Bunny Crimson -- I drew this is in 45 minutes and I know it's a sloppy mess, but I wanted something to post for the holidays and I have no time, haha. I want to do a lot more with Bunny Crimson in the future. :) 2. Characters draw themselves meme --

1. Winter Waterfall (Kelda): This was originally an animation -- It was Kelda looking back at a waterfall with autumn leaves falling all around her and also floating down the river. It took me so long to finish that fall is long over and I made it a winter scene instead. I've drawn Kelda frozen soli

1. Hsien-ko (Darkstalkers) -- I can't believe I've never drawn her before! She's such a great design. Glad I got the chance with this commission. 2. KDA Ahri + Christmas version (League of Legends) -- I made a real attempt to play Mid for awhile and Ahri was my go-to. Mostly because I pulled an Arca

Fewer profile pictures this week because I had another big commission to work on! 1. Lucoa (Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid) -- I love the Dragon Maid anime, this was really fun to draw. 2. Ramlethal Valentine Color Palette 10 (Guilty Gear Strive) -- Ram's the character I play in Strive, so of course I

Here are this week's drawings! I have not finished anything but commissions because I bought a house and that has eaten all my free time. Some really cool stuff, though! Summer Robin (Fire Emblem Heroes) Samus Aran (Metroid Dread) Ramona Flowers (Scott Pilgrim vs the World) Corobo (Little King's Sto

Very very busy week, but I'm still getting stuff done! The Kelda Plush from Makeship is also now available at http://www.makeship.com/products/kelda-plush -- I've got 3 weeks to sell 200 of them in order to meet the minimum amount and get them produced, so please pick one up if you'd like! 1. Brainw

1. Casual Samus (Metroid) -- This started as a redesign of my old Winter Samus art for a new print, trying to update her wardrobe a bit to incorporate elements of the Power Suit from Dread. After I sketched it out I thought, "actually, this is kinda cool all by itself" so I sketched out a rear view

Still grinding commissions! I've had a lot of big bills and commissions seem to be the only reliable way to get them paid. I'm going to do my best to get more personal work done as well, and I'm glad I have something to share this week, even if it's just a bunch of sketches. 1. Sketch sheet: I wante

Happy Halloween, everybody! New Kelda art, new Samus art, and more profile picture commissions to share. Hope you enjoy! 1. Azazel Ameri (Mairimashita! Iruma-kun), Francis Drake (FGO), Dusk (OC), Kori Hana (OC) The usual profile picture commissions -- I'm trying even harder to add atmosphere and cha

Posting this early because I'll be gone all weekend vending at NECC Hometown Series in Davenport, Iowa. It's my first (and probably only) event of the year, and it's a small one -- but at least it's something. 1. Flor (OC) 2. Melody (OC) 3. Vaske (OC) 4. Rinko Shirokane (BanG Dream!) 5. Sakuya Izayo

My three commissions for this week! I'll be focusing back on commissions again because I had a major event that required immediate money. Wish I had more time and energy for personal/original work but that's the way it goes -- I'm lucky at least to have commission work available. 1. Amora (OC) -- Cu

Only a couple pieces this week, but I've been dealing with the aftereffects of my latest medical procedure -- I have *another* procedure next week and two more after that and then I'm finally free to recover in peace. These aren't super serious procedures, but they're painful and distracting and I'v

I'm finally back to making original art! I've missed it so much. In order to get back in the swing of things, I gave myself some restrictions: 1. Square canvas. 2. Limited color palette. 3. Randomly generated prompts. Based on those guidelines, the first four pieces are what I did this week. 1. "ivo

1. Brenna (one of my elemental characters): Just a fun, quick sketch with a chunky canvas brush, all on one layer. This loose painterly style is something I'd like to explore more, but we'll see what happens. I love how it turned out, though. 2. Mimosa (commissioner's OC): One of two profile picture

I can finally share the artwork I did for Lobos Jr.! He wanted a new shirt design for his shop, and I wanted something I could also make into a print -- since he's well known as a streamer of FromSoftware/Soulsborne games, I did this collage of female characters from the series. The only Souls game

A day early this week, since I'll be gone all day tomorrow visiting family on the other side of the state. 1. Discovery (commission of Dang, a Runescape character) Glad I can share this piece! I spent all last week and part of this week on it, and even though I know it's not the type of work that pe

Rather than jumping back into profile picture commissions, I decided it was finally time to clear out my long-term to-do list. I have a few projects and commissions that I said "yes" to months (or even over a year) ago that I'd like to have off my plate, so this week I started chipping away at the f

I don't have much to share this week! Two of my commissioners never responded, and I spent most of the day Wednesday at the hospital -- luckily all the tests turned out alright and I have a clear bill of health (with that particular issue, at least). I'm also taking some time off from commissions an

Just profile picture commissions from this week! I spent a couple hours today trying to get a fun sketch done, but my heart wasn't in it and nothing turned out. I'd like to take some time off from commissions to properly recharge my creative juices, but we'll see what happens -- I have some medical

1. Summer Tharja (Fire Emblem Awakening): This is a rework of a design I did a couple years ago -- I could've cleaned it up more, but honestly I just wanted to get it done and share it as soon as possible. Tharja's still great after all these years. 2. Medusa (original): The piece itself is pretty o

I had a lot of IRL stuff to do this week, which meant less time to do personal artwork. I just made sure I got my commissioned work done so I can pay the bills...but, them's the breaks! I still think they turned out nicely. 1. Samira (League of Legends): I played a lot of League for about a year, th

1. Sabrina (Pokemon): I really never get tired of her design, lol. This was planned as a simple looping animation (where she'd be floating lightly and spinning the Pokeball) but once I got into it, a basic illustration felt more manageable. If I get more proficient with animation someday, maybe I'll

I tried my hand at writing a short story today, but I wasn't able to get anything finished in time to share. I'll keep working on it over the weekend and hopefully get it posted. That means all I have are some profile picture commissions again! But I really do put effort into these, so I hope you'll

I don't have much to share this week -- the profile picture commissions I worked on wanted to remain private, and I've still been trying to get new print designs done. I did at least get a new drawing done of that vinyl skirt fetish maid outfit I designed, so, yeah. Vinyl Maid Sommelier: The origina

The good news is that I've been working on some hentai artwork with my original characters (Cara and Braith, the animal-eared ladies from awhile back)! The bad news is that nothing turned out well enough to share yet. Hopefully soon! In the meantime, here's what I got done this week. 1. Bunny Hop (B

I've been working on big projects that I can't share yet, but in the meantime I've got more profile pic commissions and a meme template of Kelda! 1. Cleavage Meme with Kelda: Saw this template going around and I thought it'd be neat to try with Kelda's water hair. If I'd known it was going to be suc

1. Profile Picture Commissions (OC, OC, Franziska von Karma, Orta): Back in the swing of doing commissions, and I really like how these turned out! Especially the Miqo'te and Orta. I have a lot of FFXIV characters in the commission queue, so I'm glad people seem to like how I draw them. 2. Animation

I finally have my computer back! I did some timed drawings today and one relaxed sketch yesterday, so nothing too exciting -- but still, I got to work on digital art! Woo! 1. Kasane Randall (Scarlet Nexus): I tried the Scarlet Nexus demo and enjoyed it so much that I replayed it again with both char

I've been really on the art study grind this week -- still did a page of hand studies every day (at least). Hands have always been a challenge for me and I want to shore up that weakness as much as I can! Still have a long way to go until I consider myself confident with hands, but the practice help

1. Many Hands Make Light Work (original): I've been practicing drawing hands for a few days and I wanted to put that new knowledge to good use -- I didn't use references for any of the hands (other than occasionally glancing at my own) and I know they aren't perfect, but I had fun with this. I spent

I'm actually going to start talking about the profile pic commissions individually since they're the majority of what I get done now -- I'm drawing 6 a week now and I still don't know if I'll ever get caught up. ; _ ; 1. Riamu Yumemi (Idolm@ster): I've loved her design since I saw her so it was a tr

1. Hesitation (original): this is a continuation of "Satisfaction" -- I tried to keep the background very loose and keep the detail on her so that even with a busy environment, the focus was squarely on the vampire woman. It didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted, but I'm really glad I was able to

1. Minoto doodle (Monster Hunter Rise): I've been having a hell of a good time with MH:R -- way better than I did with World, which I gave up on after a couple hours. Love the character designs, especially the quest maidens. Might do some NSFW art of them, if I can manage it. 2. Cross (OC), Hebe (OC

1. Kat (Gravity Rush), Liana (OC), Strato (OC), Tari (OC): These were my profile picture commissions for the week! I like how they all turned out, but especially Kat. I still haven't played Gravity Rush but I love her design. 2. Doodles: I did a bunch of these on 1000x1000px canvases, just for a cha

1. Aqua (Konosuba), Sam (Admiral Bahroo's mascot), Parakon (OC) and X'ibi (OC): These were my profile picture commissions for this week! They were all pretty fun, but I especially enjoyed working on Aqua (blue hair, cute, I love Konosuba) and Sam (because I designed her). Admiral Bahroo made his deb

1. Yoshizawa (Persona 5 Royal), Pike Queen Lucy (Pokemon), Angel (OC), Phayla (OC) and Kirby: These were my profile picture commissions for this week! I'm especially happy with how Kasumi and Lucy turned out, but I think they're all pretty cool. I've been spending a little time every day practicing

Back with more! I even managed to finally get a personal piece done that I've had in mind for awhile, so I'm glad I get to share it with all of you. :) 1. Float (Kelda, original character): I've been wanting to make something in the style of an old Japanese woodblock print, but it didn't quite work

Had a crazy day yesterday and I completely blanked on making my Friday post, but woke up this morning and realized my mistake. Sorry about that, y'all! But it's here now! Only a handful of new stuff to share, but it's cool stuff, I think. :) 1. Hatsune Miku (Vocaloid): March 9 is Miku Day (because o

I've been helping out my parents with some renovations this week, along with running various errands and paying taxes. I was offered a couple of commissions for artwork from people I know IRL that I've been grinding away at. And I've also been various degrees of stressed and depressed, which isn't a

Only one new piece of art that I can share this week, and it's a bloody vampire woman, lol. Been working on more stuff I can't post, unfortunately. Fingers crossed that things are less busy next week and I can do more personal work. 1. "Satisfaction" (original character): the aesthetic of blood on s

I decided to start taking more time between pieces -- to give each drawing more polish, and push myself in ways that I just *can't* if I'm trying to post new art every day. That's why I've only got two entirely new color drawings this week, along with a couple compilations of older artwork. I've als

1. Braith (original character): I based her design around the idea of a hellhound, which I got when the song "Hell Hound" by Sir Lord Baltimore popped on my Spotify playlist. The idea of long hair tucked into an oversized collar soon followed, and I rolled from there. She's a friend and/or enemy of

Only the first 3 are new art -- the rest have been compilations of old art that's related in some way. I decided to take a week off from both social media and drawing, and it's been really nice! I've been doing scheduled posts of the old art on Twitter so that there's still interesting stuff happeni

I had zero responses last week when I asked at the end of the post whether these are interesting, so I'll ask right away this time -- are these interesting? lol If the commentary isn't something people find worth their time, I can just leave it out and post the roundup pics by themselves. Or if you'

A fairly wide variety of subjects again! Stylistically, I stuck more to what I was comfortable with this week, but still tried to push my palettes and posing. Not always successfully, but it was worth trying! 1. Brainscape, Volume 1 (compilation image): I needed something low-stress to draw, so I op
