Hail and Kill, Howling Banshee

This one was fun. Maybe I should draw more Eldar stuff. I mean someone's gotta, there's enough Space Marine drawings already in the world to formulate its own art movement.

Howling Banshee masks really have that Tahu from Bionicle-like feel to them, don't they (its the "mouth" area, really)...

Birthday poem (Shanghai Combat Revue short-comic)

This took way longer than I'd like aw man

Oh well, at least I did it. I've noticed though that I've gotten to that point in drawing these characters that it almost feels like second nature now, so that's cool.

I do wanna draw more stuff with only Yue Ying and Wu Shuang. I kinda like w...

howling banshees but they rock (WIP)

this was going to be just a group pic (no. 2) but then I thought about glam & power metal today and "wait, Howling Banshees AS heavy metal singers, someone's GOT TO have done that right?! Right?!!"

I mean, Warhammer 40k is pre-built for that Battle of the Bands, prog vs. death ...

Ρωμανία & العباسيّة & 大唐

Wasn't it funny how, at the same time in this particular part of Eurasia, all three of these empires decided those Sogdians/Turkic peoples were the height of fashion?

Also learning that apparently turbans were also popular in the Byzantines, and the futou were arguably inspired by ...

Wu Shuang's writing (Comic WIP2)

Wu Shuang's headscarf just keeps changing everytime I draw him lol

Its what happens when the reference I'm working from is that very specific headscarf specific Chinese generals used in 2024-03-25 22:29:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Moumou in different fashions... 2!

Once again got a little too much into drawing Moumou in different fits for fun, mostly from late 80s-early 90s sitcoms (see if you can recognize some of them!).

I thought for a moment "should Moumo...

Ms. Guan's birthday gift (comic WIP)

OK so I didn't quite break my promise this time, since its mostly about someone other than Guan Qinglang.
Was overtook by the need to sketch this out as a comic, because the allure of kokuji and arcanely done historical gags is irresistible, which meant I didn't sleep very well last ...

Guan Qinglang writer's block

Originally drawn as a gift for my roommate who helped me out with translating my comics. I haven't still decided whether I will colour these or not, would prob try to do it in the style of Hua Sanchuan, who was an inspiration for this one too. We shall see.

I promise the next time I draw an...

Eldar/Aeldari Aspects

Have I ever talked about that I like the Aesthetic of the Aeldar? It does make sense, doesn't it? When one is both a tokusatsu fan and a Morrowind fan, who also holds remnants of that bygone avid Bionicle enthusiasm, of course this is what happens.

Although, I've never really read any actua...

All new Space Cassette Moumou VHS cover

Man this one really expanded in scope this time, but its fun!

This ended up looking more like a Finnish style clamshell VHS than anything, but hey that is the look of hokey VHS releases hahahaha. Thus I imagine it sitting next to Finnish VHS releases of Patlabor and Plastic Little (yes, the...

new Moumou poster WIP2

Time for another update on the Moumou Moment, slowly but surely.

I decided I do wanna make a back-cover for this faux-OVA anyway. She is the Moment after all. I really like drawing her shoes (Air Jordan V 1990 White Fire Red) and camera (JVC GR-60), invoking those good ol'...

Some Guan sketches

Also in the mean time I remebered I had these sketches I had lying around actually for a while now. I quite like those splash arts a lot of the miHoyo/gacha games have, so tried to see if I can try drawing something like that of my own. The exact pose & BG. are still up in the air, partially ...

A new Space Cassette Moumou poster (WIP)

As voted by the patrons, here's the WIP for a new Moumou poster! I guess Space Cassette Moumou is set, since there's a fun pun there that I like. 

Speaking of cassettes, had to cheat a bit since VHS tapes don't actually show pictures like film-reels do, so its a bit of multimedia appro...

1st Poll of 2024!

Oh man haven't done one of these in a while. 

The drill is the same as before; I have plenty of ideas for bigger and elaborate illustrations, but can't decide what I wanna do specifically. 

Kinda fear I will end up being very tunnel-visioned with what I draw ("wow Aleksis &n...

Legend of the Eight Immortals fan-poster

(Based on the film I've recently subbed!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJk7-Cm72xo)

I was actually supposed to post a colour-rough WIP before, but it didn't go through and by the time I've noticed I've a...

Qi Dandan being blue

I saw this fun wall deco that was in New Women 1935, hence this drawing.

Legend of Eight Immortals WIP + FILM ENGLISH FANSUBS

So, people who follow me on social medias for a while would know I also like to do fansubbing for various older Chinese historical media, namely films. 

Over the Christmas, I've subbed yet another film for fun, this time a movie called "Legend of the Eight Immortals" or 八仙的传说...

Happy birthday Kanzaki Sumire

It is Sumire's time, or as she likes it, all the time.

Smoking Dandan

Finished one of the WIPs by continuing my Ruan Lingyu agenda, it seems.

I need to watch more black & white movies in the future. Maybe something with Lauren Bacall or Greta Garbo in them. Y'know, to continue the bit.

Legionary Extraordinary short - "Right Music"

A very specific joke that I came up with when reading 中国古代礼仪文明 by Peng Lin. It was a good read, though unfortunately has no English translation that I know of.

Zhou ritual culture (AKA traditional Confucianist) had a very particularly let's say interesting understanding of m...
