This took me 3 goddamn hours to make and my hand hurts... Got into Date Everything recently and whipped up a sketch of Nightmare and the player character, inspired by the painting Nightmare by Johann Füssilier

"The natural flow of things will always lead to calamity..."
Binged through one too many TikTok edits for JoJo and it got me fixed to draw up one of my favorite stand designs from the series

The sketched out concept of Wonder of U from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure part 8: Jojolion. The sketch features the stand with rough lines parallel to each other on the Y axis with a few circles in the background hovering around Wonder of U's head.

The Stand Wonder of U from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure part 8: Jojolion in a B&W rainy background with a single soap bubble hovering close to Wonder of U's face. The Stand's eyes are glowing red giving a tinted glare.

A more saturated version of the final render of Wonder of U. The light of the soap bubble and the red glare of the stand's eyes are the only things that give off light while darkness covers the rest of the body.

Making this my final art piece for the year! I've come so far in my growth since January and I've decided to finish the year off with a love letter to my younger self with this one, adding in things of my OCs from designs from years ago and I'm happy to continue my growth in 2025!

Splash art of my two OCs, Ivan and Bordov next to a van in the autumn. Bordov sits atop the hood of the van while Ivan stands next to the driver side door. An old set of power lines are in the back along a road and leaves fall around them. Both characters signatures are at the top right and lower left corners

I've gone and created both of my sons this year and I'm damn proud of their glow ups!

My Howler Monkey OC, Misha Bordov, nicknamed "Bordov"

My firstborn son, Ivan Korolev, or as I call him "Iro"

Spamming a lot of my shit very late at night but I've also gone and finalized what I'd say is the best rendition of my OC Bordov since I've created him almost an entire DECADE ago 😭 Made his splash art and Ref sheet to compare

Been hooked on Honkai Star Rail as my comfort game and Gallagher has been my godsend character since his release. Because of my fixation with this dude I've gone and made him my PC Wallpaper. I would've added more...buuut that would've gone into spoiler territory 🤫

Heard that 500,000 left Twitter so I guess a lot more people are on here now. Might as well bring back my account from the depths by showcasing a redraw I did of an old piece of mine!

I've finally done it. I've finally gotten around to opening commissions again with proper prices to match

Got myself a new marker and pencil brush set on Clip studio and it gave me the idea to create a new OC. Meet Trev!
(The TV box head isn't his actual head, he just likes to wear it since it gives him a boost in confidence)

A Polaroid picture drawing with the phrase "Gamma-Alpha-Epsilon Party King 2024" written on the bottom. The picture shows a young man wearing a rave outfit and a large TV box mask over his head. Drawn on the Polaroid are yellow stars and a winking emote sticking its tongue out on the masks screen face

Posting here for the first time in a hot minute. Stardew Valley will be one of my favorite comfort games and Shane will forever have a place in my heart. I love my depressed chicken man

Got around to finishing a promised piece my partner wanted me to do of his OC and his pet ferret. He was first designed as a biker but wanted me to redesign him in this Splash art concept with a dog-like space helmet and play on the title of the song Astronaut in the Ocean
