December Post (Fuyuko) and Update!

Happy New Year, everybody! Hope the holidays went well for you and you're staying healthy.

My mental health has (finally) been getting better and so I've decided to rededicate myself to art. I'll be posting new artwork every single day -- and eventually, I want to increase that to several p...

Witch of the Black Forest / Waboku (November Post)

Had the idea to redraw some of my favorite old YuGiOh cards, but I only got a couple done before a bad art slump hit me. I still like how they turned out, though! 

I have plenty of commission work to share this month, but very little personal art -- hopefully you guys will still enjoy ...

October Post (More Again / Morrigan)

I am very tired and I have a sinus infection but I'm doing my best. :)

I really like how this particular piece turned out. Morrigan is so good.

Hope you guys are staying safe and healthy! Thank you so much for supporting my art.

September Post (hands free)

Another month, another attempt to overcome my usual mental health hurdles. :)

I'm finding it very, very difficult at the moment to accomplish much of anything artistically, but I'm still trying. Hoping I get through this soon.

But in the meantime, I still got some cool artwork done th...

August Post (Summer Sabrina)

Got a lot of cool stuff done this month! I started using vector layers for my line art in Clip Studio Paint, and it's given me a lot more control and a little more confidence to try thinner brushes. I'm still experimenting and trying to find a combination of thick and thin lines, cel-shading and ...

July Post (Bunny Crimson)

Yo! I took some time off in July because I was super burnt out, but I'm feeling great now. Changed up my medications and it's like night and day.

Believe it or not, I started a second account on Twitter for 18+ / hent...

June Post / Picture Pack is available for everyone

I've been working hard on learning how to paint digitally. I'm also taking a break from social media for my mental health. 

Hope you've all been well, staying safe and taking care of yourselves. 

I'm attaching the usual Picture Pack .zip file to this post, and everyone can f...

May Post (Wave)

Hey, y'all. I got a ton done in May. A lot of art that I'm really proud of.

I'm also working hard to improve my health and get new print designs finished. It'll be awhile until I can go to another event (they're all cancelled for the foreseeable future due to COVID) but I'll put the prints ...

April Post (Kunoichi Collage)

Hey, y'all! April was an interesting month. I started learning how to use Blender to make 3D models (some of which I've included in this month's picture pack).

For May, I'm drawing a new manga-style piece every day Monday through Friday ("Manga May", my own invention). I want to make more p...

March Post (Dinner Break)

I did a ton of sketches in March! A lot of them have a dim/grey background because it's been easier on my eyes than staring down a blank white canvas. I think these turned out really cute, so I hope you guys enjoy them, too.

On another note, I'm taking a break from art for awhile because I ...

Water Soup Animated (February Post)

Hey, y'all! Not as much as I would've wanted again this month, but between Frostbite prep, being AT Frostbite, and being sick from Frostbite, I'm not surprised.

I've also started work in earnest on a project of my own (separate from the other big project that I still can't announce yet) -- ...

January Post (Winter Walk)

I can finally share it! I worked my ass off on this, and I hope it shows. It's every female character from Super Smash Bros in a modern/semi-realistic setting.

You can pick this up as a 22x27 poster from the Frostbite C...

November Post (Ripe)

For November, I did a different full-color drawing every day (except the last three), using random prompts from a word generator. I also started practicing digital painting in an attempt to expand my skills. I got a hell of a lot done and I'm proud.

In December, I won't have as much to post...

October Post

I pushed myself as hard as I could and participated in Inktober -- drawing a black-and-white piece every day of October, each based on a provided prompt. I really enjoyed it and I got more new drawings done than I have all year. So for November, I gave myself two new challenges.

The first i...

August Drawing Batch

Hey, y'all! I've been recovering from my sinus surgery and Lasik, and also working on a big project I'm not allowed to talk about, but I still managed to get some cool stuff done! Hope y'all enjoy, and thank you for your support!

July Gallery

Hey, y'all!

So, here's the deal -- once again, I didn't finish as much work as I would've wanted. And it made more sense, to me, to just make it all available right here to check out instead of putting it in a .zip file.

I finally got my personal shop up and running! It's at 2019-08-05 14:00:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Miriam (June post)

Hey, y'all!

I played the hell out of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. It's the most fun I've had with a game in YEARS. So, I really wanted to make some Miriam fanart. She's super cute!

I'll be at Paradigm Shift, a Smash tournament in Davenport, Iowa this month! Hope to see any of y'...

Alolan Kelda (April Post)

Hey, y'all! 

I've been sick basically since I got back from Prime Saga -- traveling kills my immune system. But, I still managed to get some cool stuff done last month, including this Hawaiian-style Kelda, which I love.

I spent a lot of time in April studying -- working in my ske...

Frostbite was a blast -- it was great meeting so many people and getting to share my art. I have another tournament coming up before long, and this drawing is a hint as to what it'll be. :)

It took me a long time to finally finish this one, but I did.


It's my goodbye to Smash 4 and the memories I made drawing these great characters...hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do. Makes me smile.

November Post (Kelda)

I intentionally tried to make this sort-of impressionistic, but that's a style that I don't have much experience with and it didn't quite turn out the way I wanted. Still, I like this drawing a lot. I feel like it gives exactly the kind of vibe about Kelda that I try to convey -- happy-go-lucky, in-...

Life/Health Update

Hey! So, things have been not-so-great for awhile for me. Maybe y'all don't care, maybe you do. If you do, this update's for you.

After dealing with miscellaneous health conditions for a long time that escalated into a full week of being dizzy, I broke down and went to the doctor. I found out that...
