Showing the full journey of my latest illustration. Swipe to see how it evolved from a raw, messy sketch to a fully rendered world.

Zero visibility, but 10/10 for the aesthetic. 💅

sometimes it's funny looking back at older logo work and realizing how much your style slowly changes without you even noticing.

been experimenting a lot lately with bold title logos and typography. kinda curious where it'll evolve next

WOW😱

Why think when your muscles already know the answer?🧐🔥

also everyone’s a bot until proven otherwise these days. Honestly..

Fair enough, can't even blame you for thinking that with the amount of garbage bots flooding the creative space lately. It’s a mess out here. Honestly, I'm just a fan of the 'Whimsical Disney' aesthetic myself and was annoyed for you. Not here to shove a portfolio down your throat..

Preach! The AI scamming and aggressive marketing is getting out of hand. Quality art takes effort, and a specific style like Toony Disney deserves someone who actually knows how to draw it, not just a prompt engineer.

You should not post this heree buddy, anyways dropping few of my pieces below have a look :)

Sprites are great for gameplay, but having high impact action scenes during the climax really elevates the storytelling. If you’re looking to bridge the gap between those busts and the battle animations with some dynamic key art.

The anime style is very clean, but for Episode IV, are you planning to include any full screen Action Illustrations or Cinematic CGs for the major boss fights?

Since you’ve got the technical side handled for the sprites, are you also looking for 'Key Art' or 'Portrait Illustrations' for the dialogue boxes? Usually, the sprite artist handles the movement, but the character's personality really pops in those detailed static shots

That’s the best way to do it. Most people skip the placeholder phase and it just leads to a mess later on. Having those solid reference points makes the actual creative part way smoother.

HI buddy :) I've done some projects before in the toony style dropping below, Could you please share your oc if that's okay with you!

are you providing the artist with the technical specs (like hitboxes or anchor points) or if you're letting them handle the layout entirely? I’ve found that getting the 'feel' of the attack right is usually the trickiest part of the process.

Thanks♥️

One thing to consider: Do these two stories share the same universe or have a narrative connection? Even if they are standalone, we can use the illustration style to create visual suspense or a cohesive 'Author Brand' that ties them together through color palettes or specific symbolic elements.

Hi RJ! I’ve been following your discussion about moving toward illustrated character covers for The Siren’s Knight and the re-design of A Vampire’s Lament. It’s a smart move romantasy readers really connect with seeing the chemistry between characters like Ishmael and Edric right on the cover.

I've spent a while in black and white, dropping some of my past projects below + Are you looking for a pure 'cross-hatching' approach for the textures, or more on 'stippling' and 'highcontrast' blackwork to maintain that vintage engraving feel?

What's you discord buddy ?

Love the direction of that thumbnail sketch there’s a lot of personality in such a simple layout.

Is the character you’ve sketched there the same persona from your profile?

Looking forward to seeing where we can take this!

ENjoy cutie😸
