Dean Ellta @deanellta.bsky.social · Oct 19
Time to make a proper intro here haha

I'm Dean! I love traditional martial arts, cars, and retro racing games. Irl, I'm a practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and I write in my spare time. I post commissioned pieces of martial arts of my sona and oc's, so that's what you'll mainly see here!
Ref sheet for Dean Ellta, my sona

It's a battle between Masters! Megumi heard from her student Renee that Dean's Sensei Luka was an exceptional martial artist and decided to see for herself. Now she can see where the cheetah's skill comes from!

Shoutout to @juliusb.bsky.social and @aknight931 on Twitter for this birthday gift!
As a master of multiple martial arts disciplines, Luka is an extremely difficult fighter to isolate. He can flawlessly mix different styles together depending on the circumstances, and do it all with a smile on his face. He relishes the chance to fight a taekwondo master like Megumi, as it will show him his own flaws and provide some entertainment for the day.

Jasper doing what he does best: Teaching chosen students the intricacies of the greatest martial art ever invented (at least in his eyes) and aura farming.

Thanks to @LViolet9 on Twitter for this awesome birthday gift of my grumpy German taekwondo jackal! I love it!
Jasper showing Leon the proper way to execute a side thrust kick. No wasted motion, no overextention. Simple, glorious, efficient. Jasper will have Leon drill this kick 500 times once he is done demonstrating. Recently, Jasper made friends with a possum who is really into photography. Truth be told, he really likes this possum, even if he does not show it. But the smile captured here may give it away...

One of the few times you will see Jasper happy is when someone is appreciating his immense skill in taekwondo, such as right now. Say hello!

Shoutout to the awesome @ArtsGalinn on Twitter for doing this sketch piece for me, thank you so much!

Dean's got a new student and fellow cheetah under his wing, and he's eager to teach her all he can about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! First things first, seeing if she can survive a five-minute roll!

Art by @krimabrawls.bsky.social, thanks to @elleci42.bsky.social (owner of Elodie) for commissioning this!
Dean (cheetah on the left) is about to show Elodie (cheetah on the right) that there's levels to BJJ. Her brother, Luke, talked up her skills, but now it's up to Dean to find out where her weak points are and help her refine her skills! Oss!

It's Stella, and she's got an updated look! New belt, new fur pattern, and an ankle guard! But she's still the same fennec who will drop you with a single front kick right to the jaw >:3

Shoutout to @juliusb.bsky.social for this awesome piece!
POV: You called Stella "short-stack." Hey, with her ears, she's over six foot tall!

Before becoming a boxer, Henry practiced Taekwondo. The story behind it will be told later, but to Henry, it was the decision that saved his life.

I drew this months ago, it's still one of my favorite Henry pieces. One day, I'll finish this picture by adding his teacher and martial arts brother. 🙂
Henry as a teenager recites the five tenets of Taekwondo - Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control and Indomitable Spirit. There is a great emphasis on never abusing his Taekwondo training, as Henry vowed he would never bully another person ever again.

It's Sensei Luka! Thanks to @ArtsGalinn on Twitter for this awesome piece of Dean's Sensei!
One of the best traditional martial artists in the world, Luka Tarou loves the inner peace and tranquility as well as the power that it gives him! Ignore the skunky weed smell coming from him, it helps him too...

Playing through Shenmue for the first time was certainly an interesting experience, especially with four gremlins dragging me around Dobuita and the docks.

Art by @crassir.bsky.social

Shoutout to @taryncrimson.bsky.social, @aussieneon.bsky.social, @docvincel.bsky.social, and @retehi.bsky.social!
Trying to look for some sailors, finding the Mad Angels, dancing with Tom the racist hot dog vendor, and working a 9-5 at the docks was certainly fun, especially with these four egging me on. Shoutout to: Taryn, who would not stop dunking on me for accidently feeding the stray cat a piece of fried tofu. Retehi, who demanded I spend all of my hard-earned Yen to feed his insatiable capsule toy addiction. AussieNeon/Sidney, for eating all of the chocolate and caramel I bought and stuffed into my pockets at the Tomato Convenience Store in hopes that my gambling would pay off. And Doc, for watching me attempt to run down the shipyard workers with my forklift. Shenmue 2 soon...

Is there anything more cinematic and badass than doing a flying side kick with one of your friends? Probably not, especially when said friend is a taekwondo master.

Thanks to @krimabrawls.bsky.social for this awesome piece and @taryncrimson.bsky.social for joining me on it!
It's nice to train with a friend, especially when you get moments like this. I feel bad for the person holding the target pads, the heavy bag, and anything else in range of these flying kicks!

"Come on, brother! Smile for the cameras!"

"...you truly test my patience, Alaric."

"Ach, and yet you still love me!"

"...hmpf, unfortunately."

Meet Ssgt Alaric Schoen, the younger, much more joyful brother of Jasper!

Art by the awesome @JuliusB8 on Twitter!
Ssgt Alaric Schoen is a member of the GSG-9, Germany's premier counter-terrorist unit. Don't let his smile and jovial demeanor fool you. That merely hides the spirit of a deadly operative who would put his life on the line to protect his homeland from all threats, foreign and domestic. He prefers to be pointman, leading with either a riot shield or his beloved MP5 submachine gun. He carries with him the traditional Schoen spirit of perfection, but he sees himself as a team player who rises the tide for his unit. He still prefers to listen to dubstep and EDM at unbearable levels, much to the chagrin of his teammates and Jasper.

Biweekly, Dean and Neo look to truly test the boundaries of their skills by hiking to a reclusive waterfall and giving it everything they've got!

Art by @crassir.bsky.social featuring @aussieneon.bsky.social 's Neo!
Neo has to make up for his shorter frame with a jumping side kick to Dean's jaw! However, Dean's speed and height means that he's at least able to take Neo out of the air with a lightning-fast roundhouse kick! After the winner is decided, the two cats like to shed their gis and cool off by taking a nice, relaxing soak in the small natural pool at the base of the waterfall...

With summer coming to a close, cats gotta catch all the sun we can!

Shoutout to @tonydunkel.bsky.social for this awesome piece, starring @elleci42.bsky.social, @taryncrimson.bsky.social, and myself all vibing after some training!
After (literally) fighting with your friends down by the beach for hours, nothing beats a nice cool down session by the pool. Luke's lounging in the shade, Taryn's got an ice-cold drink in his hands, and Dean's perched on a table between the two with a Drumstick. Like a good friend of Dean's would say, sticks are unbelievable.
