Golden Egg Shaker Keychain

Some photos of the new and improved golden egg shaker! Featuring a completely translucent body, I tried my best to make it as close to the in-game model as possible.

Now available via my store!

My designer copy of KAM Soda Squid arrived today, and I still can't believe it's real!!!

For those who preordered, you're set is likely in the middle of the ocean at the moment so if you could wait just a touch longer it'll arrive soon!

I turned my drawing from the Now or Never zine into a lenticular postcard where the fireworks set off when tilting! I also added writeable backings so you can use them as postcards to send to your fellow cephlapod friends as a thank you gift!

Now available at my store!

Spring Store Update

I've recently updated my store with some new products including a series of glassware keychains on frosted acrylic, a lenticular Grand Festival postcard and a new and improved golden egg shaker keychain!

Some studies I've done because I've been working on some fan projects, which I'm not allowed to share 😅

The first 2 were referenced from photos I took on a recent Japan trip, and it feels weirdly cyclical doing studies based on photos I took myself. I'd definitely like to continue doing it though!

My goal is to have a Pokemon drawing for each generation, so here's the drawing for the 2nd generation.

Witch's Chandelure - Print now available at my store

Out of the redraws, I think I struggled with this one the most because there were light sources everywhere, and my very amateur knowledge of lighting was not particularly helpful.

Fukuoka Sketchbook

A small collection of drawings I did during my Fukuoka trip. It had been so long since I picked up a pen and drew traditionally, so these were a lot of fun.

My attempt at animating my drawing of Miku's Blooming outfit! I've always wanted to try illustration and animating my own PV, so this was a good experiment!

Blooming

Back in April I had the once-in-a-lifetime experience to go to Japan and see the Fukuoka show of the Hatsune Miku Blooming tour! This is my summary piece of the trip, with the bulk of the flowers referenced from my own photos!

Now or Never

This was my contribution to the Now or Never Zine! I wanted to draw VeronIKA and Hiroooo in a full circle moment, enjoying the Grand Festival fireworks on the stage that marked the start of Splatoon 3.

Metamorphosis - Print now available at my store

I'd like to think that I'm pretty organised when it comes to file management. I really thought that, until I discovered that I didn't save the working file of the 2022 version of Metamorphis so I had to start again from scratch...

Journey at Dusk - Print now available at my store

This is another re-draw from 2022 and I made quite a few changes because I despised how the trees looked and had to make the very unfortunate decision to remove the bubble braid and a Zorua to ensure it's more readable.

Minior Shower - Print now available at my store

After I finished my Escavalier drawing, I decided to re-render all my Pokemon drawings from back in 2022. It's kind of crazy seeing the improvement.

Knights Errant

This was a rejected sketch I had for the bigger illustration as I wanted to challenge myself to draw something that had a richer story. Was a good way to test the rendering style and colours though!

Sparring

One day I was suddenly overcome by the urge to draw a knight and this is the result. I used a new rendering style, new techniques and spent time creating a story behind the illustration that helped to inform decisions. It was a very tough challenge but I'm happy with the result!
