Various Qi Dandan drawings

I will at some point draw her wearing something different than just the qipao. But not today.

REQUEST: Old Samus

Yo, been away from the internet mostly for about over a week. It was quite refreshing.
Been slowly coming back, to fulfil another art request (and also I guess maintain some online presence too since that's just part of our lives now hahaha)

Will they ever do an old Samus? Probably not, bu...

NEW REQUEST THREAD

Time for a new Request Thread! where you get to make an art request by commenting below! My apologies for not putting these up in a long while.

This time I will be accepting One of my choosing! I liked the last time when we did some simple situations like characters doing stuff, so I'm gonna do one of those again

Please comment below!...

Sukeban Moumou - faux-laserdisc cover

Maybe I should've made it a twilight sky instead of a sunny one. Oh well, I'll do that next time. Either way, this was a fun thing to draw. This is based on covers for anime laserdisc OVAs, esp. ones posted by wiz_caleb on archive.org. Should plan for more Moumou dress ups next time.

Also some bonus Moumo...

sukeban moumou wip

The winner of the last art poll!

Have you guys ever watched the Sukeban Deka OVA? Its great. I still haven't gotten around to the TV adaptations even though I should, but I also wanna watch more of Hana no Asuka-gumi. There's just so many things to watch! So much!

Also Moumou is just a b...

灵禽真君 2 Avian Lord-Ancestor 2

More of the dinosaur demi-man.

They actually did have feathers on the lower-body, but lost it over-time due to age.

Qin Bailing and Guan Qinglang putting on uniforms

You know.

Qi Dandan artdump

bunch of Qi Dandans drawn, some inked and two sketches, because that's where my mind was I suppose.
The 3rd one was originally part of a whole thing but then I only drew the one so now its just Qi Dandan being kinda ooc and sultry

End of September Poll (Moumou outfit special)!

This time I had an idea; What if this time we decide what kind of outfit to have Moumou dress up in? Thinking of doing in the style of also those anime laserdisc covers or splash arts (examples seen here)

(The ...

Exterminator City (Commission)

This illustration was commissioned by Eppu, the video-essayist behind Unfeatured Films (a recommended watch from me, particularly if you like to delve into obscure cinema!) and friend of mine, for an as-of-yet upcoming video of his.

This was based on a B-movie called "Exterminator City",&nbs...

Guan Qinglang splash art

Also, finally finished this one. An experiment based on the various splash arts of new gacha mobages that's popular right now, such as all the Hoyoverse games and Wuthering Waves and whatnot.

Didn't turn out the way I wished it would tbh, but hey such is the price of experimentation. Should I do another one of another character later? I will think about it, if I ever come up with another ...

灵禽真君 - Avian Lord-Ancestor

"What if the ancestral patron deity of the bird yaoguai is so old, he's an actual dinosaur." 

Here is the winner of the art poll! It was actually a tie between this and Samus, and I decided to go with first come first serve, as this guy was on the lead first. Which is fine, 'cau...

Another new comics idea to do

Do you ever experience a piecce of media, say an RPG I recently completed, and like one of the characters or the concept enough to wanna do something about it, but making fanfics/fanarts seem too passé and you just kinda wish there was a separate story and context with just the things you like alone (like say, classic pulp adventure-investigators, Showa manga aesthetics, and Hong Kong occult/e...

A new Art Poll!

Hello!

So here's a new one; I realized there aren't as many new higher Tier Patrons as many any more, and I also realized I've started to accumulate enough WIPs that I kinda all want to finish into full pieces.
So I'm gonna make an impromptu poll centred specifically on that.
The Request Thread will still stay open, I will just answer it once anyone posts something...

A new Request Thread!

Time to open up Requests again! Where you get to make an art request!

This time I will be accepting Two of my choosing! Once again doing simple situations like characters doing stuff.

Please comment below!

Samus gazing at the world (done)

There's this great painting by Dai Jin (the Ming dynasty painter) which I still think about where there's this 2024-08-26 10:10:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Samus gazing at the world (inked WIP)

Wow OK this is going somewhere hopefully.

I originally wanted to do a timelapse but then I didn't because I realized my drawing style would make for an awfully long and boring timelapse that'd just make people ask "Is THAT how he does things wtf".

(If you are still interested on me doing timelapses, do comment below)

I originally wanted to use my OG pen settings befor...

hey hey its Samus sketches

Hey, its winner of the art poll.
I forgot how much I do enjoy drawing Samus until now, and now it feels like maybe this is my purpose. Maybe all along I was supposed to be drawing Samus all the time

So hey that's fun. Thinking of maybe using the first one as the one to finalize, since I was looking at a lot of Hua Sanchuan paintings while sketching it

Happy Patlabor Day 2024

It was Patlabor Day, so here's a redraw of my fav manga cover for Patlabor

(wip) its guan again but splash art (+ new team pic)

Letting you in on a secret; I am forever cursed to find faults on every previous Shanghai Combat Revue I did, so that means I am forever also trapped into sketching out and drawing new ones based on the team. Is this healthy?

Question to everyone / Request for input

I've recently been thinking about where to take this Patreon from now on.

As I've been kinda doing this for a bit now, and realized I haven't really changed too much on how I operate, I feel I am somewhat letting people down with how things are operating so far. For that I am sorry for, since I tend to not think about as many things as I should unless its directly brought to my attention....

End of July Character Art Poll

Hey! Its time for another art poll!

And Oops all blue characters*.

 
I realized I've not drawn Kamen Rider or Samus Aran in a long time, even though that's kinda where a lot of my artistic journey started from, arguably. Partially out of spite too, since I didn't feel like at the time n...

beach time summer moumou

Going to the beach on this nice July day. Had a bunch of different ideas for Moumou to wear, so I did all of them

I thought about the Tim Rogers video on Boku no Natsuyasumi (great channel btw) and got thinking about the Japanese summer pop aesthetic, which is also why I tried to do a take on it.
I should push harder for that specific pop art look next time tbh its a very pleasant one...

Sylia Stingray from Bubblegum Crisis (also Priss)

Finally done, took a longer while than I had anticipated, but then I went to do this in a far more complicated way than I prob should have. Imitating those painted cel anime backgrounds is a journey still ongoing.
Still unsure about it so don't be surprised if there's some changes later on, but for now it is here.

Have I ever told people I actually run a Bubblegum Crisis RPG game for ...

Doppelganger Double Gang / 双重二童

Finished up these character sketches I had also.

Since all main canon Sakura Wars teams all have a support team as well, or "the Wind Division", of course Shanghai Combat Revue should have one also. I had the idea of "Doppelganger Double Gang", because it would be very funny if there was this amateur xiangsheng 相声 duo who basically just filled the radi...

Moumou summertime (WIP)

Suddenly was hit by a divine bout of inspiration and needed to get the summer pop mix Moumou before I lose it. So another sketch it is to be eventually finished.

Only later did I learn that the camera I was using as ref (Panasonic S-VHS Reporter AG-455) would've been way too new for Moumou to feasibly use (its from 1995-96).

She is having a duo popsticle because she thought its like...

sylia cityscape (WIP2)

Oh yeah, its coming together slowly but surely now I think

Maybe somewhere in the future I'll rework another one of the ones into another Knight-Saber. Maybe Linna, her suit's cool.

oh hey Ranma's coming back

Ranma getting a revival is pretty exciting, and just when I recently got back into Ranma!

Speaking of I've also discovered this recent way people draw Ranma on twitter. First encountered if from @siyeyeyeyer, but 2024-06-27 00:06:55 +0000 UTC View Post

wow Yedocia for once

It seems everytime I draw her now her design changes just a bit. Also coloured the trivia that in fact, Moumou is taller than Yedocia, because that's very funny as an idea.

It (was) Maria Tachibana day

After all this time Maria Tachibana still is in my mind, and when I dig her back up its like "god..."

Soon enough, I will finish those garage kits of hers I got.
