Helm of Exhaustion - Shirt Variant

I rarely put unedited work directly into my teepublic store these days - working within the restrictions of their system, without the ability to print at large scale or use "all-over" graphic tee functionality, I find that the best way to set off a design in a dynamic fashion is to couch it within a new "frame" so it isn't ju...

"Karl" - Commission for a Client

A commission for a returning client who has a deep and abiding love for Karl Fei-Ong from the anime Blood+ . I respect anyone who has such an enduring enthusiasm for a given design, and this client has commissioned me before to paint Karl specifically. I think while the design isn't actually to my tastes exactly, I was able t...

"Helm of Exhaustion"

This was the first Eco piece i've had the opportunity to work on for a while now with the tail end of game work and the subsequent exhaustion, and it might remain that way as I work through my next batch of commissions, but i'm hoping to set aside some time in the near future for a dedicated set of Eco paintings i've had in m...

November Rain

Being away in Japan i'm a little late posting some of these, but i'm looking to get back into the swing of regular updates to the Patreon here after all the time spent on the game.

November Rain! The new protagonist stand from Jojolands, the 9th part of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, of which I am a deeply devoted reader. Th...

"Graves" - OC Bust Commission

Commissioned bust piece for a client. I really love working on people's OCs, epsecially when it feels like folks bring a specific character of theirs to me that plays to my strengths - i'm also really enjoying working in green lately, which is funny because for the longest time green might have been my least common shade of c...

Warning for Nudity/Gore - Client Work

Hi everyone! This is work I completed for a private client where the primary prompt was their giraffe fursona rendered as a Cenobite in the Hellraiser tradition. i kept the actual design relatively "conventional" to preserve the core character but I had a lot of fun with adapting the enormous neck real estate into a kind of f...

KAIDO (WIP)

This one might be a surprise to some  - during the last year or so I uh, read the entirety of One Piece. Oda's design sensibilities are irresistible to me - I love the audacity with which he approaches designing characters, taking unconventional or comic design motifs and making them as compelling as more conventionally ...

FEMTO (WIP)

So this is one of two larger pieces i've been working on in the background between game stuff, although it's taking a while and it's been a bit since I touched it. Done in the aftermath of the resumption of Berserk's serialization, this is a revisit (I've painted him before) of Griffith's "Femto" incarnation from Berserk.&nbs...

Back from the War

Hi everyone!

It's been a while - I want to preface this by saying that i'm still incredibly grateful for all the continued support and patience i've received from everyone here on the Patreon during this period while the game was underway. As of the end of next week, my contract for full time work on Slave Zero X will b...

Announcing SLAVE ZERO X - This is what i've been working on!!

Hi everyone!! Thank you so much for all your patience and support. I can now finally share with you that for the last year i've been working as the lead artist and art director on Slave Zero X, a new title from Ziggurat developed by PoppyWorks Studios - and a prequel/spiritual successor/kind of reboot?? of the original Slave ...

Twilight Thorn Timelapse

Music is "As You Move Through The World" by MGMT

Twilight Thorn

More in this new looser style! I can work so much more quickly like this, and it feels rejuvenating!

This one was also recorded, so keep an eye open for the timelapse!

Radahn Timelapse

Music is "Paranesian Circle" by Susumu Hirasawa

Radahn

Had some fun this evening! Thanks as ever for your continued support while I keep at it behind the scenes <3

Timelapse of this will be up tomorrow!

Chaos Squire WIP

Hey everyone! I've managed to find enough time in my schedule to finally get back to some personal work, so here's a new Eco piece i'm extremely excited about. Thank you everyone for your patience as development on the game i'm working on continues. I promise it'll be worth the wait!

Exodia Timelapse

Music is "Polychromatic Hallucinations" (Black Merlin Remix) by Tyler Ov Gaia

Exodia, The Forbidden One - Speedpaint

Done while watching a grab bag of old toonami block shows with some friends late last night, it was fun to cut loose and produce something a little quicker and more about simple enjoyment. I restricted the scope of the piece to just what's covered on the central Exodia card, if anyone was interested in getting a custom printe...

Abdiel - Shin Megami Tensei V

I was truly blown away by Abdiel's final design - I took some liberties with my rendering and eschewed some of Doi's trademark geometric inlays but I couldn't resist rendering her as grossly muscular and carnal - the raw red and the speed with which she moved conveyed a physicality and animal quality that I loved as a contras...

Mara

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for all your patience. I know updates have been scarce, but between work I can't share and more recently both holidays AND transatlantic travel (in a pandemic, no less) i've been spread a little thin. I'm glad I could finally finish Mara! I redesigned his chariot somewhat in part because I reall...

Mara Wips continued (Mildly nsfw)

Work on Mara continues! I think i'm adjusting better to balancing personal work into the new schedule.

Mildly NSFW? Mara Wip

Something else i'm going to be noodling around with for fun in between client work - i've wanted to paint Kaneko's infamous Mara design for a long time, just for the sake of it. Obviously this one is a little.... ribald in appearance but i've always appreciated it for having such a wonderfully complex/ornate vibe, the ironic ...

Evangelion 13 - Awakened

Finished! Hopefully as time goes on I can start picking up the pace a bit, it's hard to find time for personal work/fanart at present!

Eva 13 WIP (continued)

It's so fun  just taking this one at a comfortable pace and hashing out each element as I go! It's different and improvisational and very relaxing compared to a more planned piece

Evangelion 13 (Awakened) WIP

Something i'm working on in my free moments! Taking my time with this one and really indulging myself. I repainted the head like 15 times....

Deadeus Special Edition Cover + Secret WIPs!

Hi everyone! I was commissioned to produce a special edition cover for the physical release of Deadeus, a modern Gameboy game that actually works on a real GB cartridge and everything, which is crazy! My alternative cover art featured on the collector's edition from Incube8 - you can find it 2021-10-31 15:40:40 +0000 UTC View Post

Carnage Timelapse

Music is "Chikara-no-uta" and "Yonderu Bell" both by Susumu Hirasawa, from the album "Aurora"

Carnage + Come work with me??

Hi everyone! Here's a counterpart Carnage to the Venom done earlier, since I couldn't resist. A timelapse for this one will be up later today as well!

As an aside - the project i'm working on that I can't discuss is now looking for a Texture Artist and a 3D Environment Artist! If you think you fit the bill and you're in...

Venom Timelapse

Music is "Paranesian Circle" by Susumu Hirasawa

Venom

Hi everyone! Sorry my presence here has been sparse - work on the big thing I can't talk about continues, and i've also been trying to kick caffeine which has in turn been kicking my ass x-x

Timelapse for this piece I did just for fun will be up shortly!

"Guiding Star, My Absolute Enemy"

For the Patreon exclusively, a look at an unrevealed Eco painting! This will be running in GHOSTFRUITS next issue of "ENEMY" but I received permission to share it here! 

Ghostfruits is an art/comics collective i'm a proud member of - I really r...
