Whenever I get to updating my website, I end up sucked into working on tiny little details, trying to perfect everything, and before I know it there’s no more time in the day for anything else!

another art print:

Shadow of the Abys

Brush-pen Drawing

fanart I made of Half Life Alyx, back when the trailer was released, touched up for the print version

A New Idol
based on Fear and Hunger by @happypaintings.bsky.social

I've been working hard these past couple of months getting prints ready for the cons. Mostly using my prexisting artwork, but they needed a lot of touching up. I'll post them here soon

I'm excited to announce that I'm going to be tabling at the artist alley for New World Comic Con and
Anime Oklahoma!

Recreated a page from the second volume of my favorite manga, A Silent Voice

Can’t wait!

Just a little up-close action of my newest dark landscape...
'Last Light'

11 colors, pixelart

I love what you did with the color composition!

Digital painting of Levi and Hanji from Attack on Titan

“Dedicate your heart”

These are awesome!

There’s definitely something fun and freeing about doing a brush sketch, but it took me a long time to actually warm up to doing it. I’ll definitely be doing more of them

There’s something satisfying about drawing lights traditionally. You have to be more methodical, since you can’t just put a soft/hard/pin light layer over it.

For a commission:

Donald Trump's post from Truth Social: "The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!"

This is anti-art.

I’ve always maintained that Americans need to see more foreign films/media, and get out of their USA bubble

To say that anything not made here is anti-American propaganda is ludicrous, but it’s clear the end-goal here is just complete cultural isolationism

I was pretty skeptical about the Oblivion remake, but I think it’s safe to say the excitement has finally rubbed off on me now that I’ve seen it in action and my nostalgia is activated

Just noticed this: “killing me” and “kills me” have drastically different meanings

“The amount of people falling for this is killing me” = funny
“The amount of people falling for this kills me” = depressing

Language is a pretty funny thing

New profile pic!

A few more I couldn’t fit. From 2020 and 2021

Ink drawings of a boy walking on a sidewalk, a background of a park with trees, and a worm’s eye view of a bridge

Ink drawings of a girl fishing in the water for a notebook, a boy thrown into a pond with his school books, and a koi fish

Ink drawing of a girl stepping into a pond to retrieve a notebook

Ink drawing of an artificial waterfall in a park

A collection of studies from 2020 that I did on A Silent Voice by Yoshitoki Ōima (which is my all time favorite manga)

I honestly respect traced art more than ai art. At least traced art has *some* soul in it

Here’s a special piece. I got this signed by none other than Steve Downes a couple of months ago. It wasn’t finished at the time, but I’ve been chipping away at it a little at time.

How did I do?

Screenshot of Elon Musk tweeting: “Men die in trenches every day, while politicians & warmongers eat gourmet meals”

An example of this is something like—I don’t know—shutting off Intel sharing so that Russia can rain cluster bombs and ballistic missiles onto residential buildings, because you think it’ll help get a better deal.
