Loverwatch: No Fourth Date

Edit: Wasn't sure if I was going to continue last just doing the line art, but after a busy work week, I decided to practice some new painting techniques with it.I would like to deconstruct the technique used to make the Loverwatch sprites, but for now this is just me experimenting.-------------------------------------I work tomorrow, so I'm going to be a responsible adult and get a good n...

Sombra Practice

As much as I like Sombra's Talon skin, her little skirt situation often has me scratching my head.NOT THE HEXAGONSI'd like to pretty up this piece in the future, but for now my brain needs to lay off the geometry.

More Mei-ssing around

Practicing skin texturing with Mei, as she has a lot of it.

[Speed Sketch] Pharah on a bike

with large mammillaries because.Doodling around, pushing my speed to see what I feel I can easily do and what I ought to focus in developing better.

Pushing the Choke

An artpiece based on an ancient rough sketch. In fact, it was one, of not, the first sketch I conjured up back when I wanted to start working more consistently at my art. I wanted to play around with 'weight' and lighting, so I changed the angle, but I'd still like to revisit the angle within the sketch one day.

Ashe: Mobsters vs. Aliens

Finished this up. Been thinking about working on some more stylized line art in the future.---------------------Lately, I've had an underlying dissatisfaction with my line art. I feel like I've been rushing it to get to the color stage, but now I want to readopt an old philosophy: An art piece could be "finalized" at each major stage: Line art, colors, and lighting.I'm still on...

Single Layer Painting Practice

Experimenting with new painting techniques outside my comfort-zone. Usually I follow the standard cel-shading process: lines, flat colors, shading layers, etc, however, this time around I just tried drawing on one, super-committed layer.

Kiriko Season 3 Doodle

I have a cold (cough)

Canonical Stool Carry

Someone posted this over on reddit this morning, and I felt compelled to draw my own interpretation.

Overtime On Oasis (Nude)

[EDIT] Brightness and blur hotfix per fresh eyes of bottopbot2. Was working on this a lot while sick, so I lost track of the details.Commission for anonIn the last few pictures I've done, I've been experimenting a lot with how I want to style lines. I do like this bolder, inking style, though I know I'll still be messing around with it in the future.

Mei-ssing Around (NSFW)

First doodle of the new year. Started off as just a free-form sketch, but I felt the impulse to do some skin lighting study. Bonus warm-up doodle.

[Text] Plans for 2023

TL;DR I will be focusing on anatomy studies for January and posting mostly sketches and scale practices to rebuild some personal drawing confidence.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Firstly, a big thank you for all your support during a rather tricky 2022 for me.Since I've had to work extra IRL shifts to pay off those hefty American medical and home repair expenses, my creative hobbies took a h...

Merry Christmas! (very-NSFW)

Thanks for all of your contributions this year! Times have not been the easiest for me in 2022, but your support has helped take some of the edge of life's unexpected surprises.Thank you so much for allowing me to draw for you. Here's to a bright and hopeful 2023!

[App Project] Matter of Perspective

TL;DR I also make apps and 2D/3D games, most of which are functional but need better art, of which I'm working towards merging my art and programming skills in time.--------------------------------------------------------I'd like to start sharing progress updates on all the apps and video games that I'm working on, though I want to make the alpha builds I'm working in more presenta...

Swift Stomp

Kiriko doodle in celebration of not having the flu anymore after three weeks.

Fantasy

arARrh I have the flu. Drew this picture to make my mind of the noises my throat is making.Super bummed because I lost the rough sketches that I was excited to show everyone when I was merging layers. Now that creative process is lost to the sands of time, or wherever pixels go when you mindset-mindedly overwrite them.

[Speed Drawing] Picnic

Lately (and by 'lately' I mean all of 2022), I've been suffering from near-constant burnout, and for the life of me I couldn't figure why. Granted it feels obvious now, but I haven't been drawing for the love of drawing any more. Every time I opened up the canvas for the last year, I felt like I had to draw only a specific idea in my head, mostly due to that I have a lot of spe...

Overwatch | Playthings

I was working on another D.va drawing, but I got frustrated trying to figure out the perspective. So I took a step back and started a new picture.I've always wondered if D.va had a surplus of mechs, or at least she does when I play her.

Oversized | Surprising Amount of CC (NSFW)

Some metas you just can't patch out.________________________________________This is an important picture to me, in that it's the first personal, high-effort drawing I've completed in a while. I got caught up doing commissions for some time, however, in the last few months I caught a bad bug of perfectionism that made me feel like I couldn't experiment with my technique, which later...

Stridescape | Splashing

It's been awhile since I had time to draw a little personal project, so I feel a little rusty. Luckily, another Runescape work has helped dust off some of the cobwebs between my fingers.

Ficon Doodles

I didn't feel very confident in my drawing abilities back in 2021, but I knew the only way to get better was to draw. Ficon is a character I reserve from random, aimless drawing to help get the unconfident shakes out of my fingers. In some cases, quantity trumps over quality in developing (and re-developing) a habit.
