Hey,
Just taking some time to thank you all for being my patrons and supporting me for some time now. Having you guys has helped out a lot in terms of drawing and having that support to help out with general living if only for just a bit. Having that in the back of my mind has made me feel just a bit better about a lot of things than otherwise.
Next year, I hope I can do even more. ...

Recently saw the movie Center Stage from 1992. Fantastic movie, really reminds you how much of a phenomenal actress Ruan Lingyu was back in the day and what a tragedy how everything went down was. I really should look into more Stanley Kwan films.
Can't think of a good transition, so I will just speak for these drawings I had in mind inspired by the film.

As requested, the last third of the three arts!
The meeting of all time. Unfortunately:
As requested, but here are (two out of three of the) arts! I will get to the third one soon-ish.
Actually never seen Big O in its entirety, have to admit. One of these days perhaps I shall, tho I also have to finish Giant Robo (the OVA AND the original tokusatsu series). So many things to watch, and I still haven't finished watching Under the Microscope in Ming Dynasty either! Ah well.
(Remember to also check the Request Thread!)
I really have tricked myself into doing more digital paintings with these huh. We'll see where this whole bit can take me in the future.
This time around "What if an old anime promo art was also a 1920s-1930s Shanghai comme...
2023-11-28 18:25:04 +0000 UTC View PostTime for our 7th Request Thread! where you get to make an art request by commenting below!
This time I will be accepting from All Patrons, Three of my choosing! This time I wanna test out and open up to do not just purely characters but more general stuff too (simple situations like character doing stuff for example)!
Please comment below!
I am back now. Gotta start making up for lost time for con-organizing & resting!
I am still amazed how I tricked myself into practising digital painting just so I can achieve making faux-anime screenshots. The things I do for the bit.
Another request thread soon upcoming, so look forward to that.
EDIT: Forgot to add a painting in the BG. Also a bonus Guan Qinglang getting ...

Had an idea of Shanghai team sitting normally. It was only later when I was uploading these that I completely forgot Mo Xiaocang entirely. Its been a stressful few weeks...
I'll draw Mo later.

My roommate keeps insisting me that Moumou sounds like a Korok from Zelda (specifically the "ya-ha-ha!")
I don't know how I feel about that
Apologies for lack of Higher tier perks recently. Managing commission work and studies and prepping for Thought Bubble has taken a toll in how much energy I can spend. I will make it up hopefully by November, when everything is smoothed out. But...

Some of the character commissions I've done in recent months. Gemini Sunrise is actually for a specific thing, you will see it when it comes up!

Oh wow I somehow completely missed these new Patreon updates.
Another bout of chores to do just before heading to Thought Bubble, so apologies for lack of updates. I've been thinking of getting back on drawing some more Yedocia and Legionary Extraordinary-adjascent stuff again (won't abandon the other stuff tho!)

There was a bit where I was thinking a lot about Tenchi Muyo and Ryoko for one reason or another. It was like a worm. Gremlin woman.
Bonus antagonizing other women
Finally got done with Helsinki Comics Festival... But then next is Thought Bubble. Damn.
Oh well, here is some Moumous. She's probably immune to electricity maybe.
Out of curiousity, I tried experimenting with simulating the cel anime look with film-grain once again with blender instead of just CSP.

Slowly coming back to drawing my Sino-Roman project again. Just have a lot of ideas I need to commit to sketches first before I can start finishing them. Which results in a lot of blue WIPs hahaha
That does remind me I really do need to draw more varied character designs. Been in too much of my Old School Anime Girls kick in the past year or so that I should prob start going back to where...

Things been getting hectic here, which is both good and bad, so apologies for the less frequent updates. I managed to squeeze something in between.
I saw a dream once where Cinema Snob(???) was escorting a cow calf for some reason. I decided to change it to Moumou, for obvious reasons. I imagine she has a beef with them.
Thinking of also doing a poster a la old 80s-90s OVAs like Pro...

Based on this Yasushi Yamaguchi/Judy Toyota illustration for Sakura Wars.
Still trying to decide if I like the 1stt or 2nd pose better. Tending towards 2nd if only because its less repetitive than the uniformed illustration I already did, but I also like the 1st pose just a bit more hahaha.
Also so...

Remember that one WIP I did months ago? Finally dug it up and finish it. Also is this the first time you see Guan Qinglang's backside? Probably. Drawing the crane was fun though, I like drawing little symbols and patterns:
This took a bit longer than it was supposed to (had to work on three commissions + comic in the same time), so my apologies for that.
Anyway, thank you for the requests! Its always fun to draw things you normally wouldn't think of
We have:
Duke Fleed / Daisuke Umon - UFO Robot Grendizer
Sayla Mass - Mobile Suit Gundam
Max Payne - Max Payne (1)...
2023-08-10 12:04:29 +0000 UTC View PostRealized I haven't done these in a while.
Time for our 6th Request Thread! where you get to make an art request by commenting below!
As before, please keep them on the simple side, so nothing complicated like multiples of characters or backgrounds. I'm only taking three of my choosing this time.

It is done! Wow they end up looking so serious now hahaha
I should get to drawing those mechs too when I get to it.

Various commissions I've done from the span of 2021 to 2023 that I'm allowed to post. Some are OC, some are existing characters (Like Shi Jin and the Sakura Wars charas) I believe I haven't really posted any of these before elsewhere, so figure here is a good place to put some of them.

Flat coloured and everything! Sometimes things always look a bit more off when flat-coloured, but what can you do. Just hope shading will fix things hahaha

The team is fully coloured now! Also came up with another illustration as I was colouring below, during which I came up with another comic idea too!
Its coming up with new stuff to draw after the other hahaha
Inked with their primary colors, plus I also sketched some of their robots! Its really fun drawing these uniforms.
I always liked the uniforms in Sakura Wars 1 the best, since it had the best silhouette (the shoulders! The bulk!!) and simplicity compared to some of the later ones. So I wanted to evoke some of that in mine as well.
And I also always liked the Fusion Suit Samus sh...

The most ambitious crossover. Why would Heavenly Soldiers look for Yao Yaoling? Who knows.
Yao Yaoling has kinda become a real guilty pleasure to draw. On one hand she's absurd & thus funny, on the other hand if someone else drew a character more-or-less exactly like her, there's ...

God this expanded into 9 pages.
Oh well, at least I got to draw something Legionary Extraordinary this year. I'm actually thinking of doing another, but will have to figure out on what historical topic to do with (suggestions welcomed!)

Guan Qinglang and Mo Xiaocang are still the hardest to get right :C
I'll prob draw their mechs too, which should be easy enough (maybe). Since my idea is to mimic more the style of Sakura Wars 1 & 2, their mecha would not really have the same customization Post-Sakura Wars 3 mechs had. Makes them easier to draw at least.

Still need to work on how to make convincing retro anime magazine scan look, but I'm getting there maybe!
One thing I really like is the loosey-goosy alien planets you see in goofier stuff esp. in older anime.
I imagine Moumou's home-planet is just like this all the time (and also Breakin' 2 Electric B...
