A few months ago I took some time to try my hand at pixel art and this is how it turned out!
The character in question is my design of Tatomir a Slavic moon deity. #gif #animation #pixelart

Got reminded by a fellow collaborator's post that I didn't post these here!
My icon pieces for Shattered Fates Zine a few years ago! (https://buff.ly/4fGjHGV )
These were a lot of fun to draw, I still really like how they turned out!

Mitra Maris character sheet for a possible project.

Played around with detail and lines, trying to make lineart less stressful for myself by adjusting pen pressure. Results were mixed.

I do like how it turned out.

Magellan and Gracia

two of my Krampus OCs, they work in Crime Scene investigation and track down culprits. Due to their age, all humans count as 'children'.
Not very festive looking piece, but Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!

Hello, I've fallen out of rhythm again - mostly due to my new day job. 😅
Now that I'm figuring out post scheduling on Bluesky you might see more of my art and posts again.

Here are some tiny Venti pieces I did for Venti Week 2023 🍃

The Final Border

Another Kingdom Hearts sketch finalized!
Still trying out the style to learn which steps I prefer and what I need to twist to suit my needs. I feel it actually went smoother than the last one, despite the added complexity - because I started to hit my stride with the style.

Young Xehanort and Eraqus from Kingdom Hearts sitting in the Final World. Blue sky reflecting off the water surface forever. They are reflections of one another and can never reach across.

In Contemplation

Here is the finalized version of one of the Kingdom Hearts sketches I posted on my art process tumblr
Trying out a different style than usual and seeing how I like it. So far I am really liking it, it was surprisingly fun.

Young Xehanort form Kingdom Hearts Dark Road observes a crystal Heart floating on a blue background with constellation texture on top of it. In the background, silhouettes of his classmates are drawn in stained glass circles.

This was a foray into different style than my usual, from some years ago, something I went back to recently in my newest work 🦌✨

flat illustration of a creature from Slavic folklore - Vitorog
It depicts a deer-like creature with expansively curling antlers standing on the very top of a crumbling rock, sky background behind him.

Another oldie fanart of mine.
It's a MHA OC character page 🌌✨
Really want to get back to this OC, she was very fun to draw #eldritch #mha #bnha #fanart

Page filled with drawings of an eldritch original character for My Hero Academia. Villainess. There are thee full body colored sketches of the character in different white outfits to contrast with her space-dark skin. Also, there are four close up head portraits showing off different versions of her eldritch presentation - all eyes, no eyes or mouth, regular seeming eyes and mouth and one with multiple eyes and sharp toothed mouth.

Newer piece, well, it was started a while ago and left in the WIPs until I got back to it...some two years later? hahaha
Still, I loved working on this, the stylization was just so fun. #KingdomHearts 👑🗝️❤️ #khux #ventus #ephemer #strelitzia #khbrain #khelrena #khlauriam #khskuld

Lineup of the cast of characters from Kingdom Hearts Union Cross - Brain, Ephemer, Skuld, Ventus, Elrena, Strelitzia and Lauriam. They appear to be standing on water's surface with dandelion seesd falling around them. Behind their heads are stained glass circles with their colors. Above them written 'An Oath to Return'
