[Lineart] Construction Worker Lorry

Maybe some of you have already noticed on social media that I'm moving in a few days. Therefore, I was pretty busy with packing and organizing all kind of stuff, so I'm sorry that you don't get to see much from me recently.

I'll be back soon in the next few days with lots of fresh new ideas and different content that I'm excited to show you already.

This girl up there is Lorry. Her ...

[HD Artwork Set] Lisia & Altaria (Pokémon ORAS)

CG variants:

  • Alternative expression for Lisia.
  • Her main pokémon Altaria

Lisia is one of my favorite characters from the Pokémon game series. I like her overall design and especially her color scheme. (*Turquoise is my favorite color.)

I always thought that her style and playful attitude convey some potential for a bunny girl design, and since we are in t...

[Character Artwork] Dracomaiden Boreara Celestianova (WIP)

Twin sister of princess Aurora Celestianova. 

It took a bit more time for her design and the color scheme than for coming up with Aurora's.

Her accessories and wings should look more ice or crystal-like. She has an ice / water theme, so I thought, since Asian dragons are commonly associated with water-themed things (e.g. rain, river, ice) I wanted to give Boreara a more chinese...

[Character Artwork] Dracomaiden Aurora Celestialuna (WIP)

The older twin of the Celestialuna princess sisters who can turn into a fire salamandra in her awakaned dragon mode.

I kept the shading and lighting simple for now and want to experiment with the color schemes and patterns a bit further.

Her design and armor are inspired by the Precure magical designs and also by the heroine of the Puyo Puyo Tetris series, Arle Nadja. I want to show...

[Important Note] The Future of my Manga Project / This Patreon Site

My dear supporters,

first of all I would like to thank you for sticking by me for so long. Thanks to your many years of support over the past months and years, it has been possible for me to continue working on my personal art projects.

Since I will be moving soon, I would like to take this opportunity to address something very important about the future of my project that will feel...

[HD OC Sketch] Polisha Scrubbington | The Cleaning Witch

An apprentice witch who helps her master clean the windows of local churches and palaces with the help of her flying broom.

She is one of my oldest OCs and was created during the phase when I was in love with Arina Tanemura's style. I still have old doodles of her where you can clearly see the influence. I will show these childhood drawings as soon as I am done with coloring the redesign....

[OC Sketch] Mermaid Knight Nautica [Erlmaiden Discordia]

Princess Nautica Oceania is a noble mermaid from New Submarinas, the capital of the Eternal Abyss and possessor of the Holy Trident, one of the seven Sacred Aqua Regalia. She also descends from a very rare species of water Drago Magica and can turn into a sea serpent in her dragon mode.

I want to draw a bigger environment artwork including her in the near future. This drawing is a snippet...

[Artwork] Hololive - Korone Inugami with Banjo & Kazooie

I used to draw a lot of N64 characters as a kid. The other kids from my day care center had fun watching me draw all kind of popular videogame heroes. Banjo and Kazooie were some of them.

I like the sequel - Banjo Tooie - more than Banjo Kazooie, but the first game always has a special place in my heart. I think it was my second console game after Super Mario 64, one of the earliest N64 t...

[Portrait Artwork] Shantae

Shantae, the heroine from the eponymous game series developed by WayForward and a half genie.

I love playing around with long hair that defines the overall shape of the portrait silhouette. A very vivid color scheme and curvy shapes can make an interesting composition with much simplicity. In any case, it was much fun to draw her.

This won't be my last Shantae fanart, that's already...

[Character Concept] Shako Kanochie | Verminion CO - Mantis Shrimp

In the next days you will see several new character designs from me (+ new Patreon announcements).

This is Shako Kanochie. She is a close-combat expert and a commander of the Verminion Arthropod Empire, leading the mantis shrimp unit.

She has a fighting style that resembles the peacock mantis shrimp. Her deadly and powerful fist strikes can reach such a high-speed that it will heat ...

[Color Draft] King Dedede (KIRBY)

Part of the 6-character meme challenge. King Dedede was the most voted character on Twitter, so he will be included for sure. It looks solid so far, but i guess I will refine the shades and lighting a bit.

I want to take the opportunity with this challenge to test some rougher drawing styles.

[Pokémon] [Sketch] Mc Marnie's

Marnie as a fast food store employee.

I really love this one so far. Usually that smiling pose looks better from the front view, but because of Marnie's unique hair and the cap I decided to make it a three-quarter-view, for an easier way to draw.

[Zelda][Artwork] "Moo~!" (Link & Malon)

Another wholesome fanart of Malon and Link from The Legend of Zelda.

After so many years, it's still challenging to draw Link's and malon's hair for some reason (lol). The idea and draft for the hand puppet  was actually pretty old, I'm glad I was finally able to finalize it.

I played it safe this time and reduced the amount of shades here.

When it comes to that kind of c...

[Color] Sheba & Felix on the beach (Golden Sun Summer Artwork WIP)

In-between progress artwork of Sheba and Felix which are the first two characters I finished for the upcoming Golden Sun summer artwork. Felix face and shape of his head was a bit hard to draw, because he looked too young in the initial draft because of his expression, while in my eyes he looks pretty mature in the original artwork.

Pretty busy with my move and applications for my apartme...

[OC Sketch] Audrey Astarov - Death Dreyad Design

Work in progress. Audrey the head maid from the Malévolus household.

I'm practicing with a new brush that creates stronger strokes and lines. Got to tired in the middle of the progress, so it looks pretty incomplete around the legs. There is a big vine wriggling around her body. Her face could need a little tweaking. I changed her hairstyle a bit, which ssuits her character a bit more no...

[Color Draft] Swimsuit Jenna (GOLDEN SUN)

WIP of my Golden Sun summer artwork project. The swimsuit design isn't final yet, but I already decided that it should some kind of fire pattern since she is a Mars / fire adept in the game.

She is holding Isaac's hand by the way.

I feel way more comfortable drawing girls with swimsuits recently, so it's finally time to tackle all my summer character artworks that I had put on ice.<...

[Color Draft] Rachel with Swimsuit (ADVANCE WARS)

Part of my very over-ambitious Advance Wars summer artwork project.

This project makes me realize that I want and need to do more body studies. I have always fun with drawing that kind of art, although coming up with a wide range of poses can be a challenge in itself somehow. I feel it will be easier for me to work on these as soon as I become more familiar with body proportions and relat...

[Panel Illustration] Destruction of the Watch Tower Turtle

Another panel preview.

I hope the quality of my new brushes can shine through once again. This panel isn't finished yet. Some details still need to be done and the same goes for the lighting effects.

I don't want to give too much away beforehand what's going on in this scene, but as you can see, it already shows that this giant monster will be killed at some point of time and I want...

[Sepia Illustration] Lady Ouceaubaque

A doodle of Chaudine's mother.

I think this drawing style will become more and more my general manga drawing style. I feel pretty comfortable with it.

My new design of Chaleure Ouceaubaque. Overall, not many changes have been made. I thought her old version looked a bit too similar to Chaudine, so I changed her hair and eyes a bit. I still find it hard to draw adult women a little o...

[Sketch] Torahime (OBORO MURAMASA)

Redraw of an old fanart that I scrapped for quite a while.

It shows Torahime, a character from the videogame Muramasa: The Demon Blade (by Vanillaware). I love the visuals of this game, and I want to convey the colorful design in my upcoming artwork as well.

Torahime will stand next to her ghost horse. Her pose might look strange at first, since she is supposed to carry a bow with a...

[Sketch] Romani + Cow Hand Puppet & Link (ZELDA)

"MOO!"

An upcoming artwork which I had on my idea queue for a while. The Bowser charm smiles, too. This cow looks more like a Yoshi wtf.

It may not look like it, but Link's hair is actually a bit hard to draw. More accurately speaking, it's always particularly the parting of the hair which often causes some struggles for me.

[OC Sketch] Sister Madison

Sister Madison also known as Med Mate Remedy. She is the head nurse who is in charge of the infirmary on the Pregnant Oyster.

She is wearing her magical head mirror like an eyepatch.

[Panel Illustration] Esmeralda the Floraptor

I have finally made it. I have finally been able to make a selection of brush sets that I feel very comfortable with when drawing the manga panels.

I experimented for a long time in order to achieve a high level of detail and good shading while still using fast, rough strokes. This was especially important to me in the depictions of monsters. It always bothered me with my old monster draw...

[Color Artwork] Lyra / Kotone - Super Mario Hat (Pokémon) (Work in Progress)

Lyra, a female Pokémon trainer and player character from the games SoulSilver and HeartGold.

Her design and color scheme always reminded me of Super Mario, so I drew her with a Mario Hat. Since her name is Kotone in the Japanese version, her hat depicts the letter K instead of Mario's M.

[Lineart] Swimsuit Lash (Advance Wars)

I drew Lash from Adcance Wars a while before and wasn't satisfied with her pose.

Now I tried to draw with a more loosen art style to practice more loosen fast strokes in general.

[Color Artwork] Swimsuit Saria [The Legend of Zelda] (v.0.9)

A Zelda artwork close to its finalization. There are still some slight refinements of the lineart, background details and lighting to do.

I tried some new coloration techniques and guess that the progress look well so far. Usually I tend to struggle with summer-themed artworks including a blue sky. With a sunny-like bright background, I somehow have a much harder time to color the charact...

[Lineart] Grimorey Orphanage Girls Illust.1

Warm-up practice with my optimized brush tool. My recent Persona 5 playing sessions during my breaks inspired me to train my lineart skills with clear black ink brushes and gradients.

Winrow's father is the founder and benefactor of several orphanages, which he also uses to secretly train the orphans to become professional spies and assassins. The two girls seen in this draft are resident...

[Panel Work] Tsu-Lin (New Hair) with Audrey Astarov

Audrey and Tsu-Lin standing next to each other observing the battle situation. They are from opposite factions, but the circumstances force them to work together.

This panel was a significant one, since I realized that Tsu-Lin's a hair resembled Audrey's hair too much, so I decided to change her hair a bit and give her a lower ponytail from now on.

I'm not satisfied with the gradien...
