[EN] Started a previous version using a photo ref I like, but the art itself (last page) wasn't really convincing me much, so I restarted and made this more dynamic version of Ivy without any references.

Just a simpler more relaxed drawing I made while practicing some new ink brushes. Hope you like it :)

Rei Hino taking a well-deserved break from her priestess duties — just a girl, her console, and a sleepy pup. I always imagined she’d be into retro games on her days off. What do you think she’s playing?

A comicbook project I started a couple years ago, that didn't go on, unfortunately. Working on a brand new project though that will see the light of the day!

Final linework for an environment designed to become a market. Characters not included yet.

Green colored sketch of another environment, but discarded. Could serve as a starting point for future design.

First iteration of this project, but discarded. Market environment with a portal framing the image.

sketch version for the final version of this project.

Environment design WIP for my side project, Missing Pieces - a visual novel game!

I will hold on to it for a bit so I can get other stuff done, since it's taking such a long time already (50h at this point...)

For the immigrants out there who are by them selves for a couple years by now, I wonder what drives you to stay where you are and how you cope with your entire family not being with you. Assuming you do have loved ones left in your home country, that is.

Rocky is looking for a furever home! I’m fostering him this week for Redhook Dog Rescue.
Owner surrender, 2yr old male Yorkie (mix?), high energy, walks on the leash like a champ and loves to go outside. Maybe likes women more than men? Better with larger dogs.
I can take questions. Pls share

Oh that's ok, hope that at least you're getting good work. Excited to see your future art pieces!

Thank you for sharing! Do you have a lengthier video of your process somewhere?

Great! I sure will ;)

I'll start from that one then!

Only one way to find out!

Thank you! I'll give her a try ;)

Grand Stage (2022)

Which one was the most notable out of that huge amount you read?

Can't deny your Japanese roots!

X-Men storm sketch with a downshift angle.

Quick sketch done with wherever was left for my day after work ;)

It started as a dude, and became a female, now it is clearly Storm hehehe

Perfection.

Tree (2019)

This a commission I made for a friend! Based on Lilinnila, one of my succubus I did previously, in a way more revealing version. Also with way more time put in.

I’m starting to think that the longer we shield Trump voters from the worst economic outcomes, the worse things actually will get.

Sometimes people just have to find out the hard way, sad as that is. Yes, we will suffer. But at least they will learn that elections do have consequences.

Last piece in this series, and her name is Astara. My favorite one :)

Blue skinned succubus called Iphsara wearing a grey skirt. She is quietly staring at a red spider on her arm.

final linework for Iphsara

Refined sketch. I hadn't come up with her looking at the spider at this point yet.

Original posing sketch.

Iphsara is my fourth design for this series. Only one more to go. I have to say the the fith one is my favorite ;)

Shamelessly doing precisely that! Thanks @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social

A purple skinned succubus in fetal position and pink tail, naked and cat-eared instead of horned.

final linework for the same piece.

refined sketch for the succubus Ynisona.

Initial sketch for the succubus Ynisona.

This one is called Ynisona, the third of the succubi I created over the weekend!
