Pan is a newcomer to the office, having only graduated from university a couple of years ago. She's here to get more coding experience. Construction mecha aren't going to program themselves!

My first new artwork of 2026! Here's a character I've previously struggled to nail a design or name for, but now I have both- this is Vienna Summers, Sandra's boss.

Digital vector art depicting a plus-sized woman in 1980s-inspired office attire consisting of a black skirt with white polka dots, a turquoise top with poofy shoulder adornments, a dark purple necktie and a large gold bead necklace. She has voluminous blondish-brown hair. She is holding a lilac-coloured floppy disk and a pair of aviators with red lenses.

Hello new followers! I've had a short break- haven't we all- but I'd like to show you the progression of Nova before the year ends. There will be plenty more drawings of her next year for sure!

Digital vector art showing three different attempts from throughout the year at depicting my lead OC Nova. She wears an 80s aerobics outfit with a purple cravat and grey-blue denim jacket. She has fluffy, blue hair in a 1980s style.

I finally put the last cel I made for my exhibition up on my wall. I decided to keep Hide, Retsuko and Hiroki were sold. 😚

I really want to make more of these in the future but without actual cel paint, they take quite a long time.

Nova's expression here is perfect! If you've not done so already, follow Khan. Brilliant artist, and he livestreams his drawing process pretty often! I've learned a lot from him.

This week I watched Krull, a sci-fi/fantasy movie from 1983. It's a really fun movie! I thought the costume design for the "Slayers" looked cool- so I've drawn my own take on it. A frame of the film is included for reference.

Sorry I was gone for a couple of weeks on here. Been working on redesigning Lars, who I've not drawn since last year. The cel shading looks fine to me, but I'm unsure about the general design or the colours.

Wanna go see Nova? I heard her place is really cool. She's even got the Legally Distinct 1980s Video Game Console!

Sandra asks Hansuke on a date, and he can't believe his luck! Now where were his smart clothes? And a better question... did he have any to begin with?

QRP with your dark art 🖤
The image depicts a woman in a stylized manner. She has short, wavy blonde hair, a neat hairstyle, and expressive facial features. The woman is dressed in a dark, tailored suit with a jacket and trousers that emphasize her silhouette. The background is completely black. The atmosphere of the image is cold and austere.

Years later, Meridia has still got style! I haven't drawn her in a long while myself either- my last attempt (second image) was in 2023!

Redesigning Sandra and making some different outfit variants while I'm at it. And as a reminder, remember to have time to draw for yourself.

Nova in her pre-cyborg days. She loves getting a group of friends over to watch those cut-and-paste ninja movies with her.
