Belated Merry Christmas ^_^

I hope you've had some relaxing and happy holidays so far!

There's so much going through my head right now, but for now I just want to let you know that I'm really grateful that you've all stuck with me for so long, and that it really, really means a lot to me, even though I know life has gotten really rough for everyon...

[Lineart (Lineart)] Arc 1 Character Cover

I wanted to draw a new manga cover where all important characters of the prologue are included. I wanted to give it a movie poster feel similar to the ensemble movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which I personally like composition-wise.

The challenging part was to decide the sizes for each character. My primary fo...

[Artwork] Bakery Girl with German Pancakes (Berliner :D )

One of the new mascots for my aunt's café. The design of her clothes is inspired by common baker uniforms in Germany (especially in terms of colors, since for some reason most staff members of a lot of bread and cake shop brands contains yellow) and traditional Asian dresses.

She is serving Berliners, a sweet pastry fr...

[Panel Work] Rockappa

Still practicing with brushes and color palettes. I want to keep that sepia-like style for my manga, but I still need to think of a good color for the skin of darker-toned characters like Cpt. Manati.

Anyway, this is a short introduction scene to a new type of Kappa Warrior. This type of monster makes use of aggressive ...

[Updated][HD Monochrome Artwork] Sabrina - Team Rocket Edition (Pokémon) (+ Sketch)

A commission for a user from Twitter. I like Sabrina's Team Rocket outfit from the Pokémon Adventure manga series pretty much, so I was glad, that I got the opportunity to draw her for a client.

[HD Artwork] Native Prehistoric Girl - Mommy Paleona & Cubone (OC Pokémon)

The girl's name is Paleona and she is an OC. I rarely create OCs for specifically another franchise but somehow I wanted to draw Cubone together with a girl with stone-age-inspired clothes. When I did some drafts for her design a lot of other ideas came up and I want to make this an illustration series featuring Paleona and C...

[Artwork] Winter Casuals - Malon (TLOZ)

Redraw of my 1-year-old winter sketch of Malon.

I plan to add some alternative expressions and the raw version without text to the higher tiers later. I want to sleep over it first before I made any final decisions.

[Artwork in Progress] Painting Nayru - Bikini [Oracle of Ages]

Nayru from The Legend of Zelda - Oracle of Ages. This drawing was inspired by a sketch in the Hyrule Historia encyclopedia of a scrapped concept that mentioned a magic brush which didn't make it in the final game version. Her bikini consists the same colors from her usual dress design.

[HD Artwork] Little Ply Fairy (Golden Sun)

I like the anime look of many sprites in Golden Sun. I figured that the fairy only appears when you cast the ply spell at a specific story-relevant point. Surprisingly, it is rarely seen in other situations. I expanded the sprite resolution to see a bit more details. 

This artwork is my personal interpretation of t...

[Artwork in Progress] Hikari & Botamon (DIGIMON)

Currently rewatching the old classic Digimon series with all the stand-alone movies in Japanese and having a great time with this nostalgic experience so far.

Toddler Kari from the movie was incredibly cute. I remember how much I could relate to Taichi since my sister and I had a similar age gap and I always felt pretty...

[Sepia Artwork] Lorna (Over The Garden Wall)

A sepia illustration of Lorna, the cursed maid from the series Over the Garden Wall. I sued a smoothed version of my standard pencil brush for the outline and I like the drawing feeling of it. It is very likely that I will use it for my other future work from that point on as well.

I intend to add Auntie Wishpers to thi...

[OC Artwork] Sonaria - Food Banner

Work in progress.

Since my aunt ask me to draw a lot of food-related illustrations for her café and restaurant, I practiced drawing all kind of food and drinks lately. It is really fun. I love to reuse and redesign my food assets for different things.

The girl's name is Sonaria. I posted another drawing of her a ...

[HD Artwork] Oreimo Parody - Delthea & Luthier (Fire Emblem)

PSD download link: (will add link later since I'm still tweaking things)

Almost finished. But at least I'm finally close to completion of my initial redraw which I was forced to do after my PC crash caused a corruption of many drawing files. Delthea's and Luthier 's pose are a reference of the first Ore...

[Work in Progress] Romani at the Trading Post (Zelda / Majora's Mask)

Based on a location in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

Almost finished the trading post iso artwork. Now I'm adding the characters to the scene. Maybe I will animate them too.

[Panel Work] Chaudine meets the Galley Maid Kiliarna

A glimpse of Kiliarna in her maid clothes. You will see more scenes of her soon. I think I need to redesign Chaudine's whip. She actually has two whips, but I tend to often draw her with one hand holding the whip while the other is often occupied doing something else, so maybe I'll change the design, so she can combine her tw...

I tried no...

Renewed the link for the psd & HD artwork folder. New works from October has been added to the archive. 

A lot of files are still affected by...

A nice way to end this month. A colored revision of the sketch with Mia and Ilyana which I drew months ago. Now that they got their Hallow...

[Sepia Artwork] Lady Maria - Art Nouveau Design (WIP) [Bloodborne]

Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower from the game Bloodborne.

I'm not done with this work yet. I want to add some more details and refine the lineart. The sword design and the background aren't finished either.

[B/W Illustration] Marin & Mermaid (Link's Awakening)

An updated version of the Marin drawing with the added Mermaid from the same game.

Composition and elements are not settled in stone yet. I want to improve the poses a bit more to make them both look more centered. There is still much to refine, actually, but I'm happy with their cute look so far.

[Scenery Artwork] Church with Graveyard (Commssion)

I worked with a client on a music school book for the last months and this illustration of a church  was one of my recent commission works. I hope I can still get better with lnatural lighting and contrasting distances. While I'm satisfied how the church itself has turned out, it was still challenging to draw the whole s...

[Chapter 1 - Panel Work] Forced Selfie

A new panel preview, where I used my improved shading stroke brush the first time. The sketch-like strokes look more traditionally drawn now, and I really like how it turned out.

After the girls are chased away by Winrow when they previously harassed Taya, they run into Chaudine by chance, who is well-known throughout t...

[Lineart] Halloween Illust. - Rotty Tops [Shantae]

A quick warm-up and a little drawing for an upcoming Halloween fanart featuring Rotty Tops, the cute zombie girl from the Shantae Series by Matt Bozon.

This series has totally my aesthetics. It's pretty fanservice'y but still incredibly wholesome, and I enjoyed almost every installment thanks to their refined and very p...

[Cover Artwork] EX MACHINA (feat. Andreas Brüning /Commission)

A colored cover illustration which I drew for my friend to feature his upcoming sci-fi short story.

I never drew an illustration in this style and with that color palette. It was a nice experience.

[Chapter 1 - Panel Work] Kappa Pool Invasion

Work on the prologue pages has been going smoothly so far. But since I'm changing the order of the pages frequently as I swap out pages and scenes along the way to improve the narrative, I've finally decided to create a new kind of post that I'll call panel previews. This way I can present you with much more new progress with...

[Sketch] Bikini Marin (Link's Awakening)

Hello dear patrons. Just a note in advance: A few days ago some heavy PC crashes led to the corruption of my drawing tool and several files from my illustration and manga folders. Took a while until I could restore the settings and some brushes, but I couldn't save everything. It was a tedious process to reorganize and clean ...

[HD Artwork] Tennis Adept Mia (Golden Sun)

With the completion of Mia's artwork, another part of my long-term Tennis themed Golden Sun fanart project is finally done. I really like the pose and color scheme. I already noticed at the beginning how hard it was to get the angle of the tennis racket right. I can still see where I can make some slight improvements, but for...
