Pride Art - Zhihao

 I've included Gold in the group ace art I did a few years ago, but he's never had the chance to rep his full identity. This is the final part of the Pride Month set for this year. I'm hoping to do a similar set next year, maybe with the Merecily characters.

Pride Art - Rico

 Part three of the Pride Month art, the bi disaster. Just Zhihao left to do now, then it's time to switch gears into Art Fight mode.

Pride Art - Emme

 The second part of the Pride Month series. Emme Atale looking stylish and deadly and aromantic as hell. I'm trying to get through these before Art Fight starts in July.

Pride Art - Maria & Avril

 Crazy that I drew these two making out before either of them have a reference. That's the power of lesbianism, I guess. I plan to do a few more in this series to post before the end of Pride Month if I can finish them in time.

Art Fight Header

 I threw together a header for my Art Fight profile for the first time. Settled on a little dramatic piece of Gold. I admit I'm hoping it will subconsciously push people to draw him.

Character Design - The Storyteller

 After years of putting off this design and attempting to pawn it off in Art Fight minigames, I finally had to give in and design this guy myself. Even have a backup outfit for him if I ever need it. At least I can finally make some progress on all the ideas with him and the Journalist I've been holding off on due to the tiny problem of the Storyteller having absolutely no design.

Character Design - Tapioca Pearl

 My part of an Art Fight Design for the Person Above You game, a Strawberry Shortcake character in the style of the original 80s dolls for Knightlies. I had a lot of those dolls as a kid, so this was extremely nostalgic. I decided to go with boba tea when I realized it was invented in the 80s, and the purple taro boba made for the perfect colorful palette. For authenticity purposes, I pretended she would have been released with the international line as a Taiwanese doll, and I took my inspiration from there for her outfit and pet, Taro Bearo.

Character Design - Callahan

 Finally getting back around to this D&D character. This design process got me crying to the Art Fight board for help, but I got there in the end. Callahan is where Howl meets Radagast meets a pride parade. This campaign hasn't begun yet, but I wanted to use him as my character on PaperDemon, so I had to finish his design.

Art - Achilles Come Down

 Struggled with the composition and ended up completely departing from my original idea, but we got somewhere in the end. Just in time for me to put art to the side for a bit and focus on my renaissance festival costume. I'm making something loosely inspired by the Journalist, though I'm realizing I'm adding way too many layers for summer southern weather.

Doodle - Cartoon Network Challenge

 Just a warm-up before I get started on a new project. I've been relaxing too much and need to get back into the groove. Found this challenge on Pinterest while getting my reference photos, and ended up doing it instead.

Sketches - Before Trauma

 I really crammed a lot of doodles onto the page this time. I should probably tone it down to keep the canvas looking nice or no one will click on it. But I had so many ideas. This all started because I wanted to draw Zhihao running track, and then I just kept adding little memories and then I wanted to fit in all of the main four. Fun fact, the sassy crayon line is a real family quote.

Animatic - Six Hundred Strike

 I have been working on this for two months and I hate myself. But it's finally done! Now I will never draw again. Just kidding, but I did expect this to take a couple weeks at most and I'm thoroughly sick of it at this point. Very glad to have this off my plate, but happy that I stuck with it all the way through. 

Completely forgot to add tags when I posted it on Bluesky, so I hope someone sees it to make it worthwhile.

Character Design - Rico

 Finally got around to making a reference sheet for him. I had to actually color him in for the first time. Can't wait to get back to black and white and not have to worry about color theory. At least I can finally finish his Art Fight page! Almost saved over my No Sleep November sketches when I was doing this because I drew it on the same document, but luckily I found a way to revert to an old save and recovered them.
