Aerti Sticker Previews

long time no see! there hasnt been a ton of secret stuff that ive been working on, HOWEVER, this WAS secret but i'm able show them since they're no longer going to be used.

these were made for a zine, but i ultimately had to scrap these particular designs in favor of something else, which i won't disclose. that said, i'll be printing them as fancy shiny stickers and selling them at the up...

Commission WIP: SRB2Kart Cloud & Hardy-Daytona, Avalanche

those with arcane mit knowledge might remember some similar WIPs from a while back (or, as they're called in the SRB2Kart community, A1s) that never ended up getting finished. i'm in the process of being commissioned to give them a once over, starting mostly from scratch to see them through to completion as well as make them up-to-date with my most recent aerith (ironically being an older desig...

wip aerti part 2

more of a final sketch of the beach piece i shared last night. i'm not sure if i'll take the time to fully finish it, cus i'm pretty satisfied with this doodle. but we'll see! i'll also be sharing a preview of this on twitter for non-patrons

WIP beach aerti

ever crisis finally dropped and jumpscared me with beach outfits for everybody so of course i have to get back on my bullshit. idk how finished of a piece ill make this, but id ta least like to clean this up a little and maybe put a real background

Aerith DE secret surprise part II

It's all done! Visually, at least, and I have plans for music and stuff like usual, which will come about as it gets done. 

Right now I'm working on polish, which means stage cameos! Here are Reno, Rude, and a Shinra trooper, who can randomly appear on-stage. There's a few others I plan on including, too.

I'm also happy to report development is now properly underway! Aerith DE ...

Aerith DE Surprise

Trying hard to play coy about the presentation of this because I don't remember offhand what of Patreon posts get shown, but hey! Check this thing out.

Aerith DE is getting a new stage after all! I've been working on this during the interim, as she waits her turn to get coded. This new stage is of the Sector 5 slums, where the church Aerith tends to is. The scope of this stage ...

WIP: The rest of the OC drawings

Jesus, that's done.

I'm still not sure how I want to go about inking these, but the sketches are finished. I don't really have anything else to add besides: I do not want to do something like this again for a very long time. It's one thing to like, character design a lineup, where they're standing around, but doing them all in unique poses is a little brutal. I think this is the most amou...

WIP: OC drawings

Twitter's dead so I'll just keep updating this on here.

I wanted to redraw all of the main art of my characters for Art Fight, something I thought to do last minute in hopes I'd be able to draw 15 characters in dynamic poses in the span of less than 24 hours and I didn't. But here's 6 of them! That's like almost halfway so this is good progress. This is probably the most amount of "charac...

Anime Collab Finished Piece

Hi! Sorry for the radio silence. I've been trying to tie up a bunch of loose ends that all came to a head at the same time, and this was one of them.

This is my finished piece for an upcoming anime & manga collab, featuring Natsuko from Re:Cutie Honey. To be real I'm not very satisfied with this and it's kind of rushed, but it's done and that's enough. Hopefully I'll have more stuff w...

Make a color palette for Aerith DE and I'll put it in the final build

Hey! No use beating around the bush.

I've attached everything you'd need at this link to make your own colors for Aerith DE. I'll allow each patron to submit one that I'll include in her final color set, and I'll try to include as many as I can depending on what limitations there are.

Read on for instructions, but if you already know how to use this generator, then ...

Anime Collab 2023 WIP

Currently working on an anime and manga art collab, and my character of choice was Natsuko from Re: Cutie Honey. It's gotta be a full piece, which isn't something I've done for a while, so I'm trying to flex that muscle a little bit. 

It's been kinda slow as far as other art production has gone because of commissions, and the only other stuff I've worked on has been Aerith DE animati...

4/14/2023 - Touching base

Hey! I was typing a lot in my last post but I wanna still follow the train of thought before I move on.

Patrons have probably noticed a fair amount of NSFW posts on here, and I've even marked the page itself as being 18+, which is mostly just a precaution. But I want to just reiterate that this page is going to be a lot of stuff that I otherwise draw for myself. There's probably not gonna...

(NSFW) Aerith x Tifa nude

This is a remake of an older drawing I did last year that I posted on a couple of private socials. This one's going to stay a Patreon exclusive like the rest of the newer ones, though.

I've gotten more used to the brush I've been using lately, still trying to push the shapes I use when drawing and how much I want to render on a given piece. I feel pretty good about this one but I still th...

Mario Minecraft Custom Player Models

A set of player models for use in the Minecraft mod, Customizable Player Models. Mario, Luigi, and Wario models are included.

To use simply drag the .cpmmodel files along with the texture files to your Minecraft install's"player_models" folder, and they'll appear in your model selecti...

(NSFW) Aerith nude

Drew this yesterday while still trying out a new brush. I feel like I should preface that these are never really going to be like, actually explicit, so don't expect any of these to up and just be porn outright.

The real question in my opinion is whether or not I want to actually advertise posts like these on main. It feels like I probably shouldn't, at least not by itself, just because t...

Power (CSM) - Airborne Brigade

Vector I made for myself a while ago. I had a few other characters that I wanted to make out of these, but I only got so far as to make Power. She's fully vectorized and split up correctly, but I haven't properly exported all the pieces, which might come later.

FF7 Minecraft Custom Player Models

A set of player models for use in the Minecraft mod, Customizable Player Models. Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barret are all included, as well as a variant of Cloud where his sword isn't on his back.

To use simply drag the .cpmmodel files along with the texture files to your Minecraft ins...

Aerith & Tifa Nude Sketch (2022)

I have a whole bunch of these that I don't like posting publicly but here's one of the later ones I did before stopping. 

Juri Doodles (12/2022)

Some Juri Han exploration sketches from 2022. I was trying to get more comfortable with her shape language so I can be more flexible with how I draw her. A lot of the other finished drawings from before this were more off-the-dome.

Rivals of Aether Mario Sheet

Here's the full sheet containing all the animations and assets that went into making Rivals Mario. By virtue of his moveset being really platform-y this ends up being useful even outside of the realm of platform fighters, since he's got a lot of animations done that he'd do in something like a 2D platformer.

Included is a version with the original palette so he can be freely color-swapped...

Hi-Res: Chapter 7

Hi-Res: 2:22.22

Hi-Res: For the Mania

finally completed! this took a few days and a lot of anti-aliasing to get done, but the end result was worth it. i figured that, since this would be used for a print, i would have to reach a middle ground of it being appealing pixel art as well as just appealing in general- so i took a very high-detail approach. everything looks silky-smooth at 1x!

ive also decided to include...

Sketch: 64

and here's the initial sketch. there were a few tweaks prior to this, primarily to comp everything out better and give each "scene" its own space.

Hi-Res: 64

surprise! i actually worked through this entire print, from concept to finish, in a weekend. i managed to figure out half-tone printing effects- which is something i wanted to figure out for other things a while ago! i think it came out pretty good.

For the Mania (Sketch)

a bit more fleshed out than the previous print sketches, this one's about sonic. believe it or not this one was loosely inspired by a youtube video thumbnail that just pasted sonic sprites over a sonic mania adventures poster and i thought it looked kinda cool. so now this one's a pixel art print!

i had to scale this down a handful of times in the sketching process so that it'd be at a size both...

He's Finished (Sketch)

the second of a handful of print sketches. i've got kid icarus on the brain, mostly thanks to the fact that i recently replayed through all of uprising.

i love pit, like, a lot. i get that he's kindof annoying at times but i like his attitude and demeanor a lot, and i also just really enjoy the world of kid icarus. everything's really goofy and fun, which is reflected in the character designs ev...

2:22.22 (Sketch)

when the hell was the last time i posted a print sketch here, let alone anywhere? like, actually, i can't remember.

at any rate, here's a wip of a print i wanna work out sometime soon- it's based on a special cutscene from smash bros. melee where luigi would appear in battle in place of mario by means of jumping off of mario's head. peach's castle is a really goofy stage but i like it a lot, and...

Charm Designs (Spread + Updates)

i've got 36 charm designs done, so i figured why not put them all together in a 6x6 spread to see how it all looks together? it feels like it's been a long while since i did the first few sets, but in reality it's only been about a few weeks.

but i've got a bit more than just this- you might've noticed a handful of changes to some of these, some big, and some small.

Charm Designs (Wave 12)

the final wave?? it's phosphora, torbjorn, and the scout.

phosphora is a fun supporting character/antagonist from kid icarus uprising. i wish she got a bit more screen time like magnus, but her chapter was pretty neat regardless. the 3-way flying battle was cool and i'm glad the chapter's level theme's in smash, too.

torb is probably the character that i've grown to love the most in overwa...
