Thought I'd post the still version of my Sailor Moon redraw animation, as I'm still pretty proud of this one

#anime #sailormoon #sailormoonredraw #screencapredraw #usagitsukino #90s #crttv #vhstapes #furbies #beaniebabies #fanart #magicalgirl #mahoushoujo
A Sailor Moon Screencap Redraw illustration. Sailor Moon plays on a pink CRT television set. The TV has cartoon stickers stuck to it; a furby is sat on a pile of VHS tapes to one side, and a rabbit beanie baby and a lava lamp on the other; there are glow in the dark stars stuck to the lilac wall behind.

This week has been pretty rubbish so here's a #Maomao doodle to make up for it.

We saw so many people dressed in Chinese court attire at Comic Con that I got home and started watching #TheApothecaryDiaries straight away

A digital drawing of Maomao from The Apothecary Diaries looking contemplative. She is a thin young woman with freckles and dark hair with a fringe, a bun, and two loose braids.

I'll be out of town on the 31st so I thought I'd post my silly Halloween doodle early. I wanted to create something akin to those vintage #Halloween decorations, so I made this little witches' familiar, & animated her in #Live2D like a little paper doll.

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Magical girls round 2!
I know it's Halloween so we should be creating a V:tM vampire, but I've just got back from MCM, so I'm in the mood for anime.
The polls will go live around 6pm UK time on the 29th, and will run for 24 hrs - have fun!

Another year, another #GBPixelArtJam!
My entry this year is about the “balance” of the life of a #magicalgirl. I love anime, but I get stressed just thinking about saving the world and still having to go to school in the morning!

#artober day 1: Potion

I don't know how many of these I'll manage to do, but yesterday I created this EGL Jekyll and Hyde lady for #artoberfriends on insta, literally sewing the two personalities together with a mix of classic and ero lolita.

This one took a little while but here's our first #Edgerunner! I ran the #Cyberpunk2020 polls back in August & the fashion poll was a draw, so our answers were #Netrunner Urban Flash&Edgerunner&mirrorshades-here's the character we made!
NAME:Paz Estrada AGE:23 ROLE:Netrunner PRONOUNS:he/they
A digital illustration of a Cyberpunk 2020 character holding open a jacket to reveal a hidden cyberdeck. They have brown hair with green streaks, and a mustache, and they are wearing colourful clothes under a plain armored jacket. A digital dog with glowing eyes stands behind them.

Doodling some MGS fanart tonight - I've seen people playing the Snake Eater remake, but MGS and MGS2 were always my favourites

I've been meaning to do a #Cyberpunk character poll for a while now, so thought I'd just do it whilst I was on a roll! If you want to help decide what sort of #Edgerunner we make, please join in - the polls will go live tomorrow evening (@icbrothers on insta) for just 24 hours. See you there!
A black textbox with red text over a background with the Arasaka logo as a pattern. The text reads "Hi all! I had so much fun making our decora magical girl from your poll answers last month, that I'm ready to do another character. The polls will be live on my insta stories Friday evening, through to Saturday evening, and this time, we're swapping Glitter Hearts' power-of-friendship anime, for the grimy 80s-dystopian-future of Cyberpunk 2020 - let's make an Edgerunner!"
