[HD Sketch][OC] Banh Bao Girl

I always wanted to feature some Vietnamese food in my illustrations, but never did it before. Once I start opening a blank canvas I used to forget half of the ideas I got at some time, where I couldn't draw right away. Now I at least try to make some quick notes on my phone, so that I won't forget the ideas later.

Banh bao is one of my all-time favorite Vitenamese foods and I thought it w...

[HD Sketch] [FIRE EMBLEM] Pegasi Sisters - Palla, Catria and Est

The three pegasi knight sisters from Fire Emblem Gaiden and Echoes in swimsuits.

It's fun to come up with different swimsuit designs for each sister. I think it is just a matter of time until those three get their summer alts together in FE Heroes.

[Color Artwork HD] Human Gadget Hackwrench (Rescue Rangers)

The finished version of Gadget Hackwrench as human from the Rescue Rangers series. I added her lower body part and some new elements, replaced some colors and corrected the outlines and shades.  Minimal color palettes and clear bright colors work well better on her.

I plan to make a postcard out of it, since some people asked me if I could produce some with her during my day at the c...

[Sepia Illustration] Mummy Maid: Miira Sukarabe (Redesign)(OC)

My recent redesign of my OC Miira, a member of the Nightmare Maid Squad.

Her hair looked a bit more like an Egyptian nemes, but that design never clicked for me and was always a challenge to draw. I went for a more traditional hairstyle and add a snake theme to the overall design. Now she became more like a mummy snake girl. I want to draw her more in action in form of some fighting artwo...

[HD Artwork] Summer Swimsuit Mia v.1.0 (FIRE EMBLEM HEROES)

Actually still work in progress (lol).

Mia from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

She usually wears a leather belt which I still need to add. Her Halloween and summer alt made me realize that she has actually a very distinct and clear color palette among all the FE characters. Maybe that's why she looks so appealing to me. In any case, I couldn't miss out ...

[HD Sketch] Malon - Milky Bikini (ZELDA)

Work in progress.

It may be a weird taste, but I thought the cow-striped patterns would look cute on a bikini worn by older Malon from the Zelda game series.

She will get a bikini skirt with the Lon-Lon hylian letters from her original design later. I really wanted to give her a cute expression.

[HD Color Artwork] Summer Swimsuit Kunoichi Yae (GOEMON) (Work in progress)

Color progress of Yae, one of the main characters from the Goemon game series.

When I draw fanarts of female characters wearing swimsuits I tend to give the bathing clothes the same color palette as from the original design.

Her drink looks kinda like beer, but it's actually some kind of sugar cane lemonade. I will add some icons and texture to it later, to make it more clear.

She is one of my favorite female game characters of all-time.

[HD Artwork] Lan Hikari & MegaMan.EXE - Battle Network (Watermark-free)

The two protagonist of the Mega Man Battle Network game series (also of the NT Warrior anime series).

I consider this still a work in progress, since I'm not satisfied with the colors  yet. I want to keep the color palette clean and simplistic since I believe that too much shading will turn the characters too muddy.

My plan for the upcoming month is to draw the NetNavis from th...

[Full View HD Artwork] SPY X FAMILY | Super Starlight Anya 64 (Chain Chomp and Penguin)

Updated version of my recent Anya Forger sketch with Bond and Penguinman as Chain Chomp and Super Mario Penguin added to the illustration.

Anya is actually pretty hard to draw because of her hair and her pretty small body and specific proportions. But I'm happy with her final look. Maybe I will add her hair 'horns' later.

[HD Sketch / Full View] Summer Striker Mia (Fire Emblem Heroes)

Sketch of Mia as she appears in the Summer Passing episode from Fire Emblem Heroes.  I really like her bikini design and always enjoy the summer designs of the FE characters in general that also includes the general known color schemes of those characters.

[HD Lineart] Chaudine - Casting Fire Blaze (Work in Progress)

I reaaaally haven't drawn Chaudine for quite a while.  Just thought, it would be a nice practice to give her a fresh subtle redesign, and this time I was using my regular brush but with a way thinner stroke size to make the curves and hair strings look finer and more filigreed than usual.

She turned out nicely, but I want to convey a more powerful pose with visible lighting effects a...

[Studies][Outfit Illustration] Blouse Girl (OC)

Before my fever break I did a shopping trip with my friend in the city central (she needed a blouse that suits her skirt for an upcoming wedding party) and I went along making photos of all kind of clothes during our search in several second-hand shops.

I want to create some outfit artworks based on my research photos the next days. It would have been nice to start with it right after tha...

[Artwork]Rescue Rangers: Gadget Hackwrench - Anime Girl (Full View)

Gadget from the Rescue Rangers as human anime girl.

I still keep some old drafts of some old projects, including female anthropomorphic Disney characters drawn as human girls. I like Gadget Hackwrench from that drafts the most, so I decided to redraw her in my new style.

[Lineart HB Preview] Kris (Pokémon Diamond) (+Sygna Design)

Work in progress of an upcoming color artwork. I really liked Kris' design when I was a kid. I'm glad she was able to celebrate a comeback in some way due to her re-debut in Pokémon Masters EX.

I can already see how nicely it will look with her actual hair color, turquoise, my favorite color tone.

[HD Lineart] Nami (One Piece) | Pre-Timeskip Shirt + Sleeveless Version

Always wanted to do a proper portrait artwork of Nami from the pre-timseskip phase. Love her old look back then.

I'm going to change the part above her and swap the name flag with something else that looks less odd. Put that there for now because I spontaneously wanted to cover the lower border to make it look less cut.

[Fullbody HD View] Nightmarish Marra (Hilda)

The twintail Marra from the animated series Hilda.

She will be part of a character group artwork with Hilda herself. Lovely magic show, I watched it recently and enjoyed it a lot.

I wanted to depict the glow of her ghostly eyes, but it didn't look so well-executed as I planned. Maybe I will scrap the glow aspect later.

[Color Draft] Pirate Rebecca [Fire Emblem]

I always thought that pirates were a pretty underrated class in the Fire Emblem game series. So I looked at the characters from each game and tried to imagine which of them would make a good alt design for this class. Rebecca from Rekka no Ken was my first choice, since she shared a family origin story with Dart who became a pirate due to fateful circumstances.

For once, I drew and colore...

[Sketch] Spy x Family X Zelda

Work in progress of Link and Anya together with their sculpture duplicates created by the elegy of emptiness from Majora's Mask. Very silly and specific idea... but somehow I wanted to draw this.

[OC Color Draft] Mermaid Knight Nautica and White Knight Whale

Work in progress. Nautica's armor and helmet are taking more shape now. Her helmet design was the the hardest thing to draw.

The White Knight Whale is actually one of my oldest monster designs I have drawn. I think the earliest sketches of it already existed since my school days.

[Watermark-free HD Color Artwork] [Mega Man] Mayl with Lan, Mega Man.EXE and Roll.EXE Plushies

Artwork of Meiru and her plushie characters from the Mega Man Battle Network /NT Warriors series. I'm glad that those characters have a very simplistic color scheme. Meiru has a very specific scarlet hair tone, but once drawn it really looks good on her, I think.

I thought that too many shades would simply overload this illustration with darker tones, so I only added some to a few subtle ...

[Golden Sun] Beach Trip - Mia, Jenna and Isaac [Color Draft]

Resuming my work on the Golden Sun summer beach artwork.

Still a lot to tweak. The sizes of the characters, for instance. And I'm still trying to figure out the right color scheme for their skin and hair. I consider sunny scenes always difficult to set up.

Sheba and Felix will be added in the next progress step.

(Updated) [Child of Light] Sword-wielding Aurora & Igniculus [HD Artwork]

Updated: HD version of Aurora, the heroine of the game Child of Light.

I really liked this game a lot. It was one of my first games I reviewed as a game journalist trainee. I really hoped that Ubisoft would make more refreshing games like this one.

What I particularly like about her design is that she really conveys an aura of a growing child that has yet to overcome big challenges ...

[Pokémon SWSH] Ordering at McMarnie's [HD Artwork]

Finished illustration of Marnie as an employee at a fast food restaurant. She is from the Pokémon games Sword and Shield. I think the color palette of her uniform suits her really well.

I felt that there was a lot going on in this picture, so I paid more attention to the color contrasts and made Marnie's palette standing out a bit more than the rest.

[Golden Sun - TLA] Character Group Credit Scene - Sprite Redraw (Work in progress)


I've always wanted to do that. At the end of the second Golden Sun game, there was a beautiful set of CG scenes where the protagonists reunited with most of their families from the first village.

Golden Sun fans loved this scene. I was once asked by a fan if I could redraw that scene a...
