This might just set the record for me for the longest time between drawing and coloring something. I checked my records, and it looks like I drew the line art for this piece back around February of 2022. Now that it’s 2023, I decided it was time to finish all of my WIPs and clean the stack befo...

I’ve been going through my WIP sketches to complete their coloring lately. When doing so, I found this piece from earlier in the spring and finally got it colored! I started off with a pencil sketch. You can see the sketched version here. I then lined the piece with...

I had drawn this piece a number of months ago, but I finally finished coloring this yesterday! The line art was done first with mechanical pencil. Once the line placement was determined, I outlined in archival ink pen and erased the pencil marks. A cleaned version of the line art can be se...

I illustrated this piece a long while ago. It’s creation was inspired by another , Pastel Sapphire, who had done a number of characters in formal wear. I didn’t use the same style, but I thought the idea of more traditional attire would be fun to draw. Rather than a kimono, I opted to draw h...

My art is still a lot slower and less frequent than it used to be, but I did just finish this piece! The line art was made a while ago. It was drawn first on marker compatible paper in pencil. The pencil was inked over with archival ink. This was the cleaned up version of the line art. ...

Happy Pride Month, everyone! My art is a little slower to come out than it has been lately. But I just finished a piece, so I wanted to share! The aesthetic inspiration for this piece, and the OC’s concept as a whole, is the idea that the next Avatar after Korra would likely ...

It’s been a rough last month. I finally managed to finish a new art piece. This portrait is of one of my OCs, Suzaku. A lot of times I’ll go in depth explaining the artistic process for me. In this case, I have a ton of reference shots of me putting this art together… so please look here in...

I finally did it! The last piece in my series of OC redraws is complete! This project took a really long time to finish, but it’s satisfying to see the whole set together. Hoji Yuka is one of the characters I haven’t drawn quite as often. I made a very small change to his base desi...

I’d been writing her recently at the time, and decided I was in the mood to do a new piece with my non-bender letting her hair down. It’s fun to me how easily undoing the more complicated hairstyles for my OCs that have them completely change their vibe. The start for this portrai...

Progress through the OC redesign project is being made. This was the second last of my OCs to need an updated image. I’d saved her towards the later half, as of my OCs, she’s one of the ones I draw most frequently. As such, there wasn’t as much that had to change from her last design. ...

Of the OCs I redesigned, this one was one of the more drastic changes. It’s been a long time since I’ve drawn my lightning bender. The last time I drew her, she had a very angular shape to her eyes. I wanted to make them a little more gentle while still giving her a uniquely shaped face. A...

This is another entry into my updated OC portraits. This time, it was the turn to feature someone I really haven’t drawn in a while—my Dai Li reformist, Kanto. Because it had been so long, I think there was a visible change in how Kanto was proportioned. I made a choice to draw him without...
