95% there with the lines!!! Pray for me 😭

Update - 26.7.24

Just wanted to share some details I'm happy with so far on this one!

There's probably the equivalent of about three drawings worth of details in this piece so please bear with me on this one 🙏

Update - 18.7.24

Big progress on this one so far, so stoked to get on the colouring of this one, it's gonna pop Pop POP!

Dracula/Lisa - Patreon Exclusive Version

Wanted to release another version in greyscale to you lovelies as a little thank you 🥰 I think I prefer this version... has an old-school horror vibe to it that suits the scene

Update - 4.7.24

Sleep pods shenanigans 😊 this one's gonna be fun! Gonna try and keep things loose for my own sanity 😅

Dracula/Lisa - Process + Closeups

It's been really fun playing with these more extreme perspectives and angels!

Tell you what though, it was an absolute battle to get Lisa's face right 😭

The Howling of the Wolf - Dracula/Lisa

Having fun with Vlad's shapeshifting abilities 😏

Update - 21.6.24

Getting close with this one!!! Had a lot of fun drawing Vlad's body hair 🥰

Super excited to get on the next piece, never imagined that the 5th element idea would win the poll!

Update - 13.6.24

A flying update on this piece! Been really fun so far, been a really interesting but difficult angle to be working with so some areas have been a bit slow, tho happy with how things are looking so far 🥰

Request Poll #44

No theme this time just some random ideas I've had bouncing around 😊

Update - 4.6.24

Took a bit to figure out what I wanted from this piece but I've finally landed on an idea that really vibes with me 😏

This is going to be heavily inspired by THAT scene from the 1992 Dracula movie (if you know, you know). Vlad and Lisa are gonna be getting freaky 🥰

Rukia + Ichigo - Closeups + Process

Did not realise how difficult fish-eye perspective was going to be but man am I glad I persevered, because this came out close to exactly how I envisioned 🥰

The idea of adding Kon was a late one but it was too funny not to 🤣

Rukia + Ichigo - Closet Shenanigans

SO supper happy with the way this one came out! Almost exactly as I envisioned it in my mind months ago!

I might already have an idea for a follow-up illustration, but I'll leave it for now 😊 Excited to get on the highly voted-for DracuLisa

Update - 23.5.24

Hopefully this will be the last update before the final piece! Just a bit more rendering and the lighting to go 😊 In-between a couple ideas, either a desk lamp for lighting or like the light from a laptop screen... we'll see what gives the best result!

Update - 16.5.24

Ichigo's busy rn... 😳

Been another week of life stuff getting in the way of art but I've still managed to make some big progress in this piece, but I'm only gonna be teasing this lil bit of it before a bigger reveal next week 😊

Update - 9.5.24

Sorry for the small update this week, been feeling kinda burnt out the last few days on top of my PC acting like dirt 🤷🙃

Also, sadly I think I'm going to have to shelf the Bahamut piece for the time being, something about it is not gelling with me rn, but hopefully I'll come ack to it at a better time with a fresher idea of what I want from it! 😊

Request Poll - 3.5.24

Too many good ideas so I'm making this a free-for-all, so setting this to be multiple choice! Good luck out there 🥰

Update - 30.4.24

Just a quick early days update for both my Bleach piece and the Rage of Bahamut 😊

Took a lot of work and jigging around but I think I've figured out the perspective of the Bleach piece, I've never drawn with a fisheye perspective before so it's been difficult but rewarding!

Also really excited to get into the RoB piece, been wanting to draw these three for ages. Already so pleased with how Amira looks 🥰

Shadowheart/Lae'zel - Cloesups + Process

I have to say it was very important to me to have SH's fingers in Lae'zel's mouth. VERY important.

Wanted to take a different approach with the rendering, though things were getting to be too long winded on one piece so opted to go back to my usual for now. Hopefully I'll have time to do some experimenting on the next few pieces 😊

Shadowheart/Lae'zel - Midnight Confrontation

God damn I'm so excited to play more of this game they're both so WIFE (tbf everyone in the party is so wife)

So excited to finally release this, I'm so happy with how it's turned out!

Update - 19.4.24

Yes, I did have fun giving Lae'zel a bunch of hickeys 😏

Update - 11.4.24

Just another quick update for this piece! Made some good progress despite my PC feeling like it's been freaking out for the last week 😓

Only a few details left to draw and then onto the colouring! Really want to try something new with the rendering this time if I can figure it out. Wanna use harder brushes for a blockier painterly rendering 🤔

This was meant to go out yesterday and I forgot to publish it 😭

Update - 4.4.24

Made some good progress on the Lae'zel/SH piece so far, been really enjoying the process with this one as I've allowing myself to be looser with the lines with this new brush 🥰 I already feel like I've made some big improvements with my shapes and idk but I feel like there's a bit more life to my drawing!

Also like to report I'm starting work on a side project featuring Rukia/Ichigo (yes I built a to scale 3D model of Ichigo's room even though you can barely see it). But this'll be s...

Ernest/Lawrie - Process

Had a lot of fun on this with experimenting with the scaling effect, and wings really are a blast to draw 😊

Commission - Ernest/Lawrie

A wonderful commission for Roe Horvat of their characters from their book Skydive 🥰

Update - 26.3.24

I've had this brainworm living in my head ever since the scene with SH threatening Lae'zel with a knife 🥵 Really liked the idea of giving the spiritual weapon a new use 😏

Had a bunch of ideas for this but I've finally settled for the one that works... now to make it WORK
