Yeah, I'm a week late, but I still did the thing. 🧝‍♀️ #frieren

#art #drawing #artsky #procreate
Cartoon drawing of the titular heroine of the anime/manga series "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End", looking up at something, confused. What she sees up there is anyone's guess.

Somewhat last-minute entry to @theposearchives.bsky.social #DTPYSOCT25 . An IG story poll had a choice between this character and another witch character of mine, but this one won. 🔥

#artsky #art #drawing #procreate
Cartoon drawing of a young woman with flaming red hair, wearing a somewhat revealing witch outfit that shows her well-toned midriff and leg. She’s angrily casting a giant fireball at what seems to be an unfortunate victim out of frame. Or, she could just be angry that nobody is waiting until even the beginning of November to put out Christmas stuff. Reference photo of Izzy from The Pose Archives, striking at which pose with a book in one hand, and casting some kind of spell with the other hand. She is, of course, wearing a witch hat.

The @lightboxexpo.com mascot trio is now complete! Here’s a rather sad #Bebe (original design by @masaeseki.bsky.social on the left, human “anime girl” version by @mingjuechen.bsky.social on the right) lamenting that LBX is coming to an end. At least there’s next year to look forward to!
Regular and human versions of the LightBox Expo mascot Bebe, both looking at the viewer, sad that this year’s LBX has come to an end. Human Bebe (right) is wearing a bandana roughly in the shape of her counterpart, one hand in her jacket pocket, the other holding her triangle shades. Blue halftone LightBox Expo logo in the background.

Two down, one to go: here’s @lightboxexpo.com mascot #Gigi to go with yesterday’s doodle of Arra. @mingjuechen.bsky.social ‘s “anime girl” version on the left, regular version (designed by @masaeseki.bsky.social ) on the right.

Now to start working on the third and final mascot, Bebe!
Semi-quick Procreate doodle of Gigi, one of the three mascots of LightBox Expo. Helen Mingjue Chen's "anime girl" version of Gigi on the left, holding a sketchbook with a drawing of the original Gigi, who can be seen on the right. By the way, the LBX mascots do canonically have mouths, as seen in some LBX intro and trailer animations.

When you can't make the trip to @lightboxexpo.com but at least you can draw fanart of its mascots. Here's Arra, both the regular version, and the "anime girl" version designed by @mingjuechen.bsky.social for this year's LBX merch (which I absolutely would've gotten ASAP if I were there. 🥲)

Procreate 5.4 finally dropped earlier this month, so I played around with a couple of the new @kyletwebster.bsky.social brushes in this update.

Specifically, I used the “Scopus” pencil brush for the lines, and the “Overland” pastel brush for the colors. Now to go back to that snake comic…
Epic anime-style (at least it’s supposed to be, anyway) sketch of a blue-haired elven water mage demonstrating her powers with some water floating over the palm of her hand, while glaring disapprovingly at the camera. In the bottom right is a small cartoon doodle of the same water mage remarking how I’ve never drawn her using her magic powers since I redesigned her outfit a little over two years ago. She’s also annoyed that I never finished the snake comic I started back in January of this year.

Happy 40th to #SuperMarioBros ! Sadly too busy with work lately to do a proper drawing, so I just put this together to at least have *something* to post. 😅 #SuperMarioBros40th
Chibi-ish drawings of Mario and Luigi against a retro 8-bit background in the style of the original Super Mario Bros., which was released 40 years ago today in Japan. Caption at the top says, "40 Years / 1985 - 2025"

Here’s my take on #DTPYSJUL25 by @theposearchives.bsky.social ! Been a while since I did a full-body version of this character.
An annoyed blue-haired elf girl is walking with two swords in hand – one enchanted dragon sword and one katana – while a limbless kitten monster is following close behind her.

Happy #donkeykongbananza launch day! Sadly I don’t have the money for the game, or for a Switch 2 for that matter, so here I’m picturing DK and Kid Pauline trying gather coins to get out of Mario’s world and back to their own. 🙃

#art #artsky #procreate #drawing
Cartoon drawing of a curious Donkey Kong bumping a question block with a coin coming out it, as Kid Pauline watches. The scenario in my head is that they’ve somehow found themselves stuck in Mario’s world, and need to collect 52,000 coins to return to their own world so DK can get his bananas back.

How's everyone #summer going? Got a doodle meant for the summer solstice, but it got delayed a few days. With the current heatwave in NYC, though, it's still timely! 🥵

#art #artsky #procreate #drawing
Cartoon drawing of a young woman with flaming red hair, smiling and giving a peace sign in front of a blazing hot summer sun against a dark red background. She's wearing loose-fitting tan shorts, along with an equally loose-fitting button down shirt that's wide open, and off one shoulder, proudly showing off her extremely lean, well-toned, bikini-clad torso underneath. In the distance behind her is a blue-haired elf girl, all sweaty and miserable. She's holding a cell phone, which is displaying a thermometer bursting from above-average high temperatures. Unlike the redhead in the foreground, she's none too thrilled about this heat wave.

Toon Boom just posted an official announcement on their Discord about the end of their perpetual licenses.

As you can see in the emoji reactions, folks there are none too thrilled. 😬

#toonboom #toonboomharmony
Toon Boom post on Discord:"@everyone - As part of the update to our license structure, Toon Boom Animation is phasing out sales of perpetual licenses. We can confirm the following information: New perpetual licenses will no longer be sold as of June 1st. 3-year subscriptions are now available as an alternative. Artists will still have access to the licenses you purchased. We are not deactivating the perpetual licenses that you currently own. If you have an existing perpetual license, you may renew an annual Support Plan which will include updates to the next major release. If you are currently subscribed to a monthly or annual license, these changes do not affect you. For questions about how these changes affect your current setup — or to find a plan that best fits your needs — please contact us at sales@toonboom.com" Reaction emojis include "rage," "thumbs down," regular and super-reaction versions of "poop," "middle finger," "skull," "nauseated face," "clown," "money with wings," and several other, mostly negative, emoji reactions.

Got my invite from the Nintendo store to buy my Switch 2. Now if only I had the money for it. 🥲

Hopefully by the time I do have the money, I’ll be able to just go in the Nintendo store and buy one. 🤞
Screenshot of my Swjtch 2 purchase invite. No, I’m not sharing the link, as it clearly states at the bottom of the email that it’s not transferable. I’m sure that Switch 2 will end up in the hands of someone who does have the money for it, though…hopefully someone who actually intends on playing it, and not a scalper.

Nine days in, I've finally gotten a proper #MerMay2025 drawing done. This one combines the three latest prompts, #Miyazaki, #Atlantis, and #Cubism. 🧜‍♀️

#art #artsky #procreate #drawing #Ponyo
A mermaid is holding an ancient staff, believed to be from the lost city of Atlantis. She's surrounded by Ponyo (from he Studio Ghibli movie of the same name) and a few of her fellow fish people, who are intrigued by the staff. On the bottom left, the mermaid's octopus friend is nervous as he's approached by an odd Cubist fish person.

If anyone’s interested an a pair of Skyward Sword Joy-Cons, and possibly also giving me my first review on this site so people know I’m legit, here’s the listing:

More goodies to come!
Unopened box of Zelda: Skyward Sword edition Switch Joy-Cons, currently for sale on my fledgling Mercari page as of me posting this. (I hope to get a Switch 2 sometime this year, so I won’t have any use for these after I upgrade from my old Switch 1)

Personal matters over the past year have forced me to significantly scale back my con appearances this year, but one convention I WILL be at is #cradlecon2025 ! I’ll have my usual wares there, plus some new original art pieces that I’ll be working on in the coming days. Hope to see you there!
Come see me at Cradle Con! May 17-18 at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, NY. (Also the same doodle of Wogni in aviator shades and jacket for the third year in a row. 😅)

A few days late, but here's me acknowledging the start of #mermay2025 while also pitching an idea to an OC of mine about a possible DTIYS of her. She's not convinced that now is the best time for such a thing.

#art #artsky #procreate #drawing
Cartoon drawing of a blue-haired elf girl, casting doubt about an unspecified idea proposed to her, because it's May and... ...everyone's drawing mermaids for MerMay. Suddenly, the blue-haired elf girl is now a mermaid.

Looks like the main sample images for three of my commission pages on my Ko-Fi (ko-fi.com/onjikun/comm...) are all showing the same character.

I will be fixing that this week. 😤

#art #artsky #commissions #commissionsopen
Screenshot of the Commissions section of my Ko-Fi page. Full-body standard commission shows an illustration of Munchabelly as its sample, while Chibi Standard, Half-Body Standard, and Half-Body Quickie all show different versions of my pink-haired, blue-skinned mermaid OC.
