Simon's Art Corner

Both look great, I'm leaning a bit more towards the keychain :)

I like the little transparent rim the keychain adds to the design, and I can imagine it looking cute on a backpack.

(But maybe I'm biased because I don't personally use pins much 😅)

I'm actually in Osaka but I leave two weeks prior 😭 so close

But I'm super excited for you and that there's another fanbook coming out!!

This so unbelievably wonderful! Thank you so much!!

Not made by me, but too cute not to share:

A super cute chibi commission of Soleil, done by OCArtLabs (on etsy and VGen).

22nd of December 2025

Since Gustave was so much fun, I had to paint Maelle as well! I hope I get around to paint all the characters from Expedition 33 one day.

It was a lot of fun to participate in the PPA Octopath Traveler 0 countdown, and I loved getting the opportunity to paint my DnD OC Soleil as the protagonist!

I actually ended up playing the game with her as the protag :D

A drawing of the Chosen One/Protagonist from Octopath Traveler 0. The drawing is made in a normal style, full body. The artist's designed the protagonist using the feminine base with blonde hair tied back in a ponytail. They are wearing the game's starting outfit and posing with the Fem. Type 1 Path Action which as them standing confidently, one arm resting behind their head and the other outstretched to the side. The expression has a wink and a smile. In the middle left of the image is text that reads "1 Day Left". Art belongs to Simon

1 DAY LEFT until the #OctopathTraveler0 release on December 4th!! 🐙🎉

This countdown drawing of the Chosen One/Protagonist was drawn by Simon

I fell in love with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 really hard, and it made me want to try "realistic" painting. So I tried my hand and a pencil portrait of Gustave, and was really happy with the result.

Some of them also have alternative forms!

10th of November 2025 (1/2)

This DnD batch was the toughest (but arguably most fun) to design yet!
I'm really proud of these designs, and I feel this is the first time where I properly did something in "my" style.
I'm excited to see how it evolves from here!

1st of October 2025

This was a gift to the person who introduced me to Sea of Stars!

14th of July 2025

While waiting for a commission from @princeyy.bsky.social, I wanted to paint something as a thank-you in return, so I made this little postcard thingy.

(Was also a fun opportunity to revisit the Tales of Xillia artstyle!)

5th of July 2025

Something VERY different, and the first time I did something oil painting-like.

For a fellow Helldiver of mine, named after their ship.

31st of May 2025

A quick little tree study :)

7th of May 2025 (1/2)

Kinda based on the style from my last post, I made another batch of DnD character artworks (and two NPCs) this year (and will probably continue to do so for a while haha)

I really like how colourful they all turned out!

14th of February 2025
(my most active year yet!)

I saw a cool format for character sheets online (credit to DahliaWilder on VGen) that I wanted to try out.

Also wanted to draw Rise Kujikawa because I made my Stardew Valley character look like her (that one hairstyle was just too perfect xD).

23rd of July 2022

I somehow forgot to post these! My bad

These were a birthday present for a dear friend who's also a big fan of City Pop!

Some of their favourite City Pop album covers redone with Persona 4 characters (their favourite Persona game).

Gorgeous! I love the contrast between the warmer colours in the foreground and the colder colours in the back

31st of December 2024

And here's the second one. This one went to a friend with whom me and other friends played Outer Wilds, and also enjoyed many campfire evenings.

They had moved abroad to Sweden this year, and so I wanted to feature both in this painting.

31st of December 2024

We're wrapping up 2024 with two christmas gifts, this being the first.

I really love Castti's gentle personality and had a lot of fun painting this.
Having to figure out the folds of her dress, apron and cloak however... 🥲

8th of August 2024

I actually did a pose reference study guys, can you believe it? 😂

Really love this painting (and Adelle is just one of my favourite character designs ever).

(2/2)

Two of the characters I based off of The Great Ace Attorney characters, and also one is just Markiplier xD

The setting of this campaign was very Full Metal Alchemist-esque, so we had a Maes Hughes/Markiplier inside joke in there xD

2nd of August 2024 (1/2)

The second time I painted DnD characters for my friends, this time I wanted to do them in action poses with cool effects.

Kind of inspired by the bosses in the Octopath Traveler series.

27th of April 2024

I really love the first Jujutsu Kaisen Ending song and animation, and here I had the idea to make a crossover with Persona characters :D

I actually had two t-shirts printed with this design, and regularly wear them during summer.

7th of February 2024

This one I'm still really proud off (even though I probably could do the anatomy slightly better nowadays)

Still a big fan of BD2 and Octopath Traveler, so I dearly wanted to make a crossover fanart. The outfit swap was really fun as well.

I confess, one of them is heavily based off a character from RWBY. I made a bloodborne character based off them, and then based my DnD character off of that.

Sorry guys, making OCs is hard, and sometimes I wanted things to look exactly like my inspirations 😂 (definitely got better at this).

11th of November 2023

This was the year me and my friends discovered tabletop rpgs, so as the resident artist, of course I offered to paint the characters.

Having learned from my previous overly-ambitions endeavours, I tried simpler artstyles.

22nd of October 2023

Obviously I didn't learn my lesson last time and immediately started another 1 year project 😂 I remember being in my final university year and yearning for cozy evening hangouts with my friends.

We were all too busy, so I guess I expressed my wish through this painting ☕

27th of September 2022

I was really obsessed with Persona 3 at the time and wanted to make fanart of the female protagonist. Really like the cozy vibes here.

(The Eiffel tower was a suggestion by my mother, and today this painting is framed on my parents' kitchen wall 😇).
