OKAY I FINALLY REMEMBERED TO DO THIS.
I laugh about this a lot because Forseth is freakishly tall and has spiky hair… so he’d make the best pine tree… right?
Or a cactus. Cuz he’s prickly.

Man I just tried to post this and it freaked out on me, and then I got worried.
But in any case…
I just got this dm. Pretty sure it’s a scam.

So this was initially a really quick doodle with one of the pens I’m practicing inking with, and… then I colored it.
Forseth looks like an entirely different character when he’s not scowling, and Crissa looks different with her hair down.

Okay, pen test #2. No color this time, but just simple inking.
I have two different pens this time - one is the same pen as the one that people liked on the previous edition (just with a taper instead of a fade), and the other is a solid/no texture pen.
LMK your thoughts!

Sometimes the doodles are just as amusing… (if you remember, Brek is a vampire).

So about a month or two ago, I was like, what if I made promotional art for #theelementals? And then once I settled on #someonetowatchoverme as the first story, this took a backseat for a little while. I finally got around to finishing it!
I may fiddle with it some more later…

I’m going back and fixing up the sketches and adding speech bubbles to correct some grammar and pacing… so that way supporters/proofers can read it easily.
And then I’ll start work on the next few chapters… and work on the next chapter for the Bionicle manga 😂

So I was trialing some pens, and I thought: which one should I use for #someonetowatchoverme ?
I usually use the G-Pen as my inking and coloring tool.
What do y’all think?

So I am on my desktop, and I realized that I needed to fix the navigation buttons on the Tumblr site for Bionicle: the Manga... and as I was fixing the navigation, I was like, wait, maybe I should include the years in which each chapter was made.
This is equally amazing and horrifying.

Working on some promotional art for #someonetowatchoverme! I have another poster planned, but I’ll continue to push that one off lol anyway. I promise I’ll actually draw more than just Forseth (but he is the MC sooo)

So in case you all wanted to know… I wasn’t joking when I said I was gonna start this. It’ll be a little bit of a long process, especially since I should also be starting the sketches for the next Bionicle manga chapter…
But #someonetowatchoverme is slowly becoming a real thing!!

Latest #commission for @silent-helper.bsky.social
The original design had this character in a dress where the wings blended into it, so I was tasked with drawing the same character but with the wings out.

A while back, I doodled out some busts of 3 of these characters: Bertoly (ice blue hair, far left), Gin (buff guy with the neon green and purple hair), and Guignard (green haired elf in the second image). Loren (tealish hair) is a newer character.

Did… did I FINALLY FINISH THIS?? Can I finally work on other projects now???
I’ll take another look over it this weekend, and then I can begin to do the upload hell 🥲
Yall. This redo took me almost a year to complete. Between my job, life, internships, and other master’s work… it may be done.

Ah yes. It is chibi time, this time with Vycer (Forseth’s mentor/foster parent) and Elgret (Forseth’s eldest brother). I miss drawing these two ;; #ocs #chibis #someonetowatchoverme #theelementals

Here’s the blank template! I wasn’t finding any templates with expressions that I wanted, so I made a blank one… that way I could literally draw any expression I wanted 😂
If you chose to use it, you don’t have to ask me, but I’d love to know if you do!

On the list of things that has just been sitting on my iPad… a bunch of expressions, featuring Forseth from #someonetowatchoverme, a story from #theelementals universe that I’m working on trying to actually get into story/comic form! #ocs
I can post a blank version of the template.

Trying to finish some WIPs that I have sitting on my iPad (I’ll eventually finish that expression one lol). This guy is named Dr. Isov Cray. He’s not really a villain, but he isn’t really a good guy either. Scientist, doctor… extremely intelligent.

In other news. Have a WIP of a fun project I started working on. I sketched out expressions several months back, and then I decided to compile them and add some new ones, fix the old ones up… and bam. Technically this is an old screenshot, but I didnt want to spoil one of the pages that is done.

My birthday gift to myself was finishing this… which has been sitting in my WIP folder for a while 😂 anyway, a non-canon scene, but technically a redraw of something I drew in 2018.
