Here's another remaster, right on time for Easter. Valina gave Dana some chocolate eggs (and then they had seggs).
I haven't been posting much lately cause I've been working on some 3D modeling and coding stuff. Hopefully I'll be able to share some of that at some point sooner than later.

Thought I'd remaster that Valina cosplay of Faye Valentine for Valentine's Day.

See a butt. Post a butt.
Had that one on my backlog of stuff to remaster.

A picture from 2022 that I had never posted as I wasn't satisfied with it, until I retouched it now. This portrays my characters (Catherine, Cassandre, Camille) the first time they split up into three bodies instead of just being confined to one. They had a lot to talk about.

Back to art, and now finally going into OC territory, here's a repurposed drawing from 2021. Valina loves carrying her loved ones. Cassandre loves having her feet on the ground. A true love story.

@bsky.app Currently, I think that user moderation tools are ill-prepared for targeted attacks of this scale. Too many clicks, too much waiting for buttons to appear, some bugs. I built an automated tool to help with the process, but it regularly runs into snags like failing to find users that exist.

So my analysis of the troll situation... it likely all started from an infamous "anti-woke" Twitter account that spread misinformation about Bluesky, leading to a brigading campaign, likely by that account's followers, against this site. Easily recognizable by repeated, low effort calling cards.

Reaching the end of non-OC personal art to remaster, with this 2023 piece. When I first drew that Reisen pic for the year of the rabbit, I tried mixing my style with a bit of signature Touhou... "ZUN style", but it was a pretty bad idea looking back, so I went fully my own style this time.

I didn't think I would revisit this as I haven't cared for MLP in a long time, but art is art and it's not like I hate it or anything. Looking back, it's wild to me how that show took the world by storm and became a cultural phenomenon, when it was just... fine ? Was it the Lauren Faust effect ?

That one came spontaneously from a conversation back in 2019 and I still kinda love the concept of Splatoon-Gorgons. Thinking about it just now, I could imagine stealth missions where you have to stay hidden in ink while in their field of vision.

I have redone this picture so many times over the years... I thought I was done with it in 2021, but there was still more I could do to improve it. That said, I think I'm done with it at this point... If I do fanart again anytime soon, it would still probably be FF7-related. I loved Rebirth to bits.

That one was a bit more involved... didn't have that little moon bunny in the original 2018 version, but I felt it was a fun little touch to add. I made the original picture back when the whole "Earth-chan" thing was all the rage, but I didn't want to use the same tired old design so I made my own.

There's the other piece I wanted to remaster for Halloween, though there was very little to remaster in the first place ; it's one of those few pictures I feel I got basically just right the first time around. I kinda wish the Metal Gear series kept going with memorable bosses after 4, that said...

I thought this was a good picture to remaster with Halloween coming up, as it was heavily influenced by Alien: Isolation when I drew it back in 2021. It was particularly tough to work again on this though, as it was more painted than drawn, which I don't have quite as much experience with.

Jumping back to 2021... another picture I couldn't look back at without cringing, that I feel looks a lot better with a redrawn face. I really didn't pay as much attention as I should have to paler skin colors ; which is kind of necessary for some characters like Terra. Well, you live and learn.

Another rework (from 2019 this time) where I feel like redrawing the face entirely (and the hair to some extent) really brought it together. Going more anime-ish just makes characters more endearing to me, I don't know why I took so long to go back to... where I started artistically, looking back.

Looking back, I did mostly fanart back in 2018... and sadly quite a bit of it was from a series that has since fully disappointed me and that I do not want to look back to. Still, Kingdom Hearts remains one of my favorites to this day ; in fact, I replayed 2 recently. So, here's a revised Anti-Aqua.

Back to 2017 art, a lot of it was related to a game project I was working on that didn't pan out in the end. Drew quite a few assets for it between concept arts, model references, UI elements and other artwork, so I decided to clean them all up a bit and drop them here.

Bit of a detour through my 2021 art as I'm just done remastering this piece. Back then I was leaving too much to a custom shader in Blender, so I decided to reshade the skin manually for more consistency, and also a closer look to the original art style. Can't believe Ace Attorney 6 was 2016...

Another sketch from 2017... I'm almost done with those, I swear ! It just happens to be the year from which I started getting closer to where I wanted to be artistically, so it's easier to fix them up real quick. Anything before that would more likely need a full redraw if I were to retouch them...

Another practice sketch from 2017 that I had decided to color. Mostly reworked the hair volume, though I decided after all these years to mostly give up on trying to draw more realistic noses because I feel it just mostly didn't work out for me.

I'm not sure what was up with 2017 but I drew so many sketches in a relatively short amount of time... of course, looking back they had a bunch of small mistakes left and right (which I've been working to fix with these reuploads) but I do kinda miss that speed and spontaneity, looking back...

That was a gift for my mom, who asked me for something like that to use as a profile picture... honestly, I barely had to update it at all as I find it to remain one of my better works, somehow.

Also from 2017, it was a practice sketch that I decided to color and turn into a warm summer picture. In recent times I've been trying to improve on the expressiveness of my characters, so I updated it mostly on that front, hopefully to good effect. (Reupload as I found the head to be too small)
