Wish I took more work in progress picts, it's always fun to compare the sketch vs final.

Still continuing the #inktober train because it's always spooky season in my heart 🖤 Do you ever find sketches, doodles, or entire illustrations that you don't remember drawing?? 😂

Although more of a Christmas / New Year's custom, I deeply enjoy the thought of Mari Lwyd knocking at your door 🐴

Going back to my spooky, dark fantasy roots. Also realized it's much faster to ink with a brush vs fountain pen... 🎃

I kept drawing the wrong prompt for Witchtober but eventually remembered the right one! Hello tiny ghosts. ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

👰‍♂️🗡️ Meant to draw a "black veiled Aiel" from The Wheel of Time, but I defaulted to drawing a sword and the Aiel never use blades... ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

An inky witch cooking up some treats!
Or maybe they just like floating pumpkins and cupcakes... I'm so excited to be drawing with pen and ink again! It's been awhile 🖋️ 🎃

The first of four illustrations that will hopefully keep me sane when school starts (next week, oop) It's been awhile since I've sat down and actually planned a series of illustrations~ 🌹🗡️
Two sketches on toned paper. The left sketch is of a person with long hair, holding a black sword with red roses in the background. The right sketch is of the same person but holding a white sword. There are colour swatches and illegible notes in the margins.

I have such a backlog of Pokemon fanart from last year's epic zine spree (15+ in one year, oh my) This piece was for a past Mystery Dungeon zine!
In a large cave, to the left there are five pokemon running away from a looming shadow. Above them, several bats fly past. To the right is a glowing pit of lava. This illustration is a fanart piece for the game, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

Ramen shop at night. Two Magikarp in suits sit expectantly at the counter, waiting for chef Magikarp to serve them food. The light from the shop illuminates dozens of ramune bottles scattered across the sidewalk. There are sakura drifting across the scene and several lanterns hanging in the branches. A small figure stands at the centre of the image. Surrounding them is the chest, head, and right hand of a large statue. The statue's hand is in a fist and sits in front of the rest of the statue, closing off the space behind the character. Background layout of a kitchen. In the foreground, messy dishes are stacked around a sink with heart shaped details. In the background is an equally messy counter and overflowing cabinets. Credit at the bottom reads, Director/ekonte by Bellamy Brooks. Art Director, Hieu Tran. Background design and layout by Yuki Marsh / Kaisei Ink. #IronMouseUnleashed Background layout of a living room. Two heart shaped chairs frame an ornate and detailed television cabnit with shelves to either side filled with objects belonging to Ironmouse. There is a coffee table in front of the television that has messy dishes and flan. Credit at the bottom reads, Director/ekonte by Bellamy Brooks. Art Director, Hieu Tran.
