I'm laughing at how I managed to get the same position for taking a photo of me as Nike, and just how different I look between session 1 and finale because of makeup and lighting.
A pale-skinned woman dressed as Nike; Gold costume wings, a golden laurel crown, and long dark brown hair. She has gold makeup and black paint marks.

I may need to post all the art/photos below just to remind people of my collection, lol.
White text on black reads: What if your favorite character created by this artist?

Took some time from school work to doodle my girl Zatza from Wildseas if she was in Hollow Knight.

To be fair, when I was first making her, Hollow Knight was an inspiration as my brain went to The Seer when I was picking aspects.

Always happy to be part of anything you are plotting!

A winged, grey-skinned devil perches on top of a tower. Two towers loom in the background against a star-filled sky. A white unicorn surrounded by large shamrocks and white flowers. A long, red-haired woman dressed in black sits on top of a black horse looking out at the grassy hills in a gray morning light. A pale woman in a black dress with a plunging neckline and long black hair with a chunk of white in the front, sits in a black wicker chair. She holds a glass with a deep red liquid, with a large panther-like creature with curving tusks lying beside the chair.

Had the pleasure of getting an early look at the TTRPG, First Date Update!
I made this illustration to catch the sort of vibes you can expect. Great game for goofy, disastrous fun!

3 people are in discussion with varied expressions. On the left, a long haired girl in a blue knit vest is blushing, holding her phone to her chest with a hopeful look in her eyes. The middle person, a generic grey meeple standin with a "Hello, I'm Mutual" sticker on their chest. They have a quizative look and they listen. The person on the right, purple dyed hair and dark clothes, stands with arms folded and an annoyed expression. Between them all, two text messages read: Sorry about... You know. Wanna go out again?" which has a ghost emoji reaction on it. The background has snap shots of things happening over the date.

I don't share enough about my overlay work for streams, but I've spent a good amount of time creating unique overlays every time I did a game (video or TTRPG).

Varied in needs. Some had videos, others animations, making unique PNGTubers to match a game. Fun stuff!
An overlay set made for playing Cuphead. A starting soon screen with Cuphead, Mugman, and Miss Chalice. A retro countdown stinger. A simple, TV like screen overlay with a PNGTuber in Cuphead style. And an ending screen with Cuphead and Mugman. An overlay set for Sword by Ghostlight. A startingsoon screen of a gas steetlamp and a full moon in the sky. Main scene with a space for a camera and one for roller. A be right back screen with a space for ads. An ending scene with "Thank you for watching" over a full blue moon. A stream overlay set for Tangled Blessings. All similar with red and black details. The set includes a "Starting soon" scene, a single camera play screen, an "at recess" screen with ad space, and an ending screen. A Harvest Moon-themed overlay set. A starting soon screen with running chickens. A Be Right Back screen with a cow in a barn eating. A Main scene with the game title and a classic Harvest Moon-styled PNGTuber. And an ending screen with a dog sleeping in a dog house.

Many projects were shelved this year, or not heard back from. The expenses don't disappear, though!

Worked in animation, games and publishing, can provide on a deadline!

A memento illustration of my Old Gods of Appalachia PC, Ashley Crane!

A stoic railway worker who quietly took on the sins of a town that never fully accepted him.

(I dressed up for the AP and Gods, I looked too much like my one brother. 🤣)

Currently no work between now and September, so doing some practice art.

It's been a while since I've done a momento illustration of a TTRPG character. So here's my Things from the Flood PC, Sia (nicknamed Savage).
She had a pretty rough time, but survived by the end.
A older teen girl dressed in a black hoodie and band shirt stands at a bathroom mirror. The mirror is cracked with the word "FAKER" written in deep red lipstick. She is adjusting her lipstick with a finger, a lit cigarette in her hand. A polaroid of a girl with '87 written in the corner is wedged into the mirror frame. "Sia/Savage. Lone Wolf" is written at the top of the illustration.

A woman with dark hair and clothes sits in a green office chair at a desk. A lit cigarette in her left hand, a glass of whisky under her right hand. A leviathan-size, fox-like beast stands among a sea of trees in front of a floating piece of wood. A small, green mothryn person perches on the beast's nose. 4 portraits of characters. Seraphine (She/Her) in a high-collar top, red makeup, and a bit of blood off her lip. Ceal (They/Them) in a loose dress shirt and vest, shaggy dark brown hair, and one glowing green eye. Enver (He/Him) in a large collared black coat with white hair and purple eyes. Ari (She/They) in a white, flowing dress shirt with a pink tie, pink-tinted sunglasses, and black to pink ombre hair. Caduceus from Critical Role in a forest. He kneels beside water, one foot in, and casts a spell from his right hand. A swirl of blue-ish bugs fly around him.

When you kept a character design simple for "easy" redrawing purposes, but your heart wants more... 😩

Anyway, messed around with what this character would grow into (past on left, present day on right). He's from my recent comic, which is up on my Ko-Fi gallery!

ko-fi.com/ghostcandle
A character design of a teal-skinned, shark-like man with tendrils for hair. Thumbnails of Thrax from Osmosis Jones and Megabyte from ReBoot are labelled as inspirations. The left drawing is of the main wearing only pants, a red sash around his waist, and boots with thick metal hooks on the toes. The right image, an older version of the man (and still shirtless), but has a bladed mechanism in his right arm and layers of tattered clothes around his waist.

I finally finished it... The comic I've been trying to finish for the past couple of weeks!
32 pages of a moment from Zatza's history! All uploaded into a gallery folder on my Ko-Fi!

ko-fi.com/album/Wildse...
3 panels of Zatza, a mothryn from The Wildseas. her hands are clasped together as a voice says "Work with the ship." She releases her hands, leaning forward as she looks at a small black mantis in the hand of a person. "Trust your instinct," a voice says. Zatza holds the mantis, looking forward. The voice says, :We'll keep you covered."

FINALLY finished my first pass of inking 32 pages!
Now to do a second pass, then shadow/light, and decide if I want to do full colour or just minimal.

When you draw a nightmare of an antagonist to also be a nightmare to draw multiple times over, but he's just too cool.😭
