WIP sketch of an unrelated commission for a cute Halo OC. Cute, cute, cute. 💜 #Halo
A sketch of an armored woman. She's helmetless, her hair is shoulder length. Her expression is apprehensive. Red sketchwork denotes pouches meant for storage on her chest and waist armor. Her right hand is held up to her chest, her left is held slightly behind her back. Her overall body armor is based on a Spartan from Halo.

My advisor (me), and my lawyer (me) have both insisted that I actually post legal WIPs of my work. Lest I be held liable for. Something.

A helmet sketch for thee. Part of probably the largest commission I'll have done so far.
A sketch of the Flanker helmet resting on a box from Halo Infinite. It has cute bunny ears.

I doubt it'd be permanent, but man, white armor kinda fits lol.
A white armored Spartan from the game Halo. They're brandishing an assault rifle, which is leaned against their shoulder. Their visor is white. A white armored Spartan from the game Halo. Their visor is white and they're playfully "flexing".

Random ancient study I brought up to snuff just to keep my skills sharper than a butterknife as I work on comms. Yours truly's wrist armor. Lewdest thing I've ever done.
A piece of futuristic wrist armor. It's scuffed and slightly damaged. The armor plating is blue and cyan-teal. The wrist blades on the armor are gray, and tinged with glowing orange blood.

All of my armor in Halo Infinite on the eve of the final update tomorrow. The first, second, and fourth on the top row are definitely my beloveds from over the years. Maybe you could tell that from my art lol.

#Halo #HaloInfinite
A collage of 11 different armor sets in Halo Infinite. The first has a black and cyan armored character relaxing with a rifle. The second has a black and cyan armor character flexing. The third has a black and cyan armor character wielding a wrench. The fourth has an ice-blue samurai-themed character standing proud with a sniper rifle. The fifth has a dieselpunk character posing with a flag pole. The sixthhas a black and cyan character at the ready with a pistol. The seventh has a futuristic, beige armored character reloading a rifle. The eighth has a black and cyan character drawing a pistol. The ninth has a black and cyan armored character reloading a rocket launcher. The tenth has a black and cyan armor character standing proud with an assault rifle. The last has a black and cyan armored character facing away, holding the same rifle.

Can a magpie beat a falcon? Maybe with a 12 gauge.

A cleaner post for the Elster and Falke art. I finally completed Elster just because I got tagged and realized I had very little new art to push LMAO.

Always thought it'd be cool to make a piece of these two fighting.

#Signalis #SignalisFanart
Mrs. Elster "Jane" Signalis Yeong from the hit game Signalis. She looks determined, yet livid, and is messily reloading her shotgun after firing one slug, the casing of which is flying past her. Blood runs down her face. Ms. Falke Signalis readying her javelins. A wide smile is on her face, her weaponry and laurels glow, and she's shrouded in a golden light, silhouetted partially against a bright red.

An armored woman. Her armor is blue and silver, and is ragged and damaged, presumably following a large battle. Her hair is slightly messy in the bangs, while the sides are cut short and straight. Her eyes are lilac. A woman in armor. She's smiling coyly and looks sheepish, her reddish-magenta eyes shining in the light. Her hair is blonde. The background behind her is golden yellow with an orange border. Her armor is adorned with knives on her chest and is dark gray, scuffed and slightly worn.

Oh boy, it's time I made the cute companion piece to this old bust I made a few months back.

This feels like it's two separate frames to a yuri anime where the background changes color with scene swaps lmao. Maybe it will be! Our yuri anime will definitely take off for suuuure.

WOAH HEY THE DYNAMIC DUO IS FINALLY DONE. A comm for an ✨anon fan of mine.✨ Maybe the biggest fan, who knows!!!

Love taps for days.

#Halo
Two armored women. One is walking slightly behind the other and giving her a playful love tap, shocking the other. Their armor is green, with their equipment being shades of metallic gray. The left woman has a helmet on her belt with a golden visor. The left woman's hair is brown, pulled back into a ponytail, her eyes are gray-green, whereas the right is red, with a braid down past the neckline, with blue eyes.

WIP. CUTE GIRL ALERT.
A close up profile shot of an armored woman. Her armor is green, accented with some gold, her hair is brown, and she has grayish irises. She's smiling at her partner. Her wrist possesses a tacpad, and in her hand is a glowing data pad.

I wonder what a replika woman armed to the teeth would look like sometimes as I draw and color this.

Final act Elster really was about as close as we got to that. Maybe that combat-class Mynah would answer this.

Either way, I love the detail so far and it looks so much nicer in color lol.
A close up of the pelvic region of a Spartan. Their armor is green, their helmet's visor is gold, the pistol is gray and they're making a small gesture with their hands.

Evergreen, I swear.

(I'd take a thrashing with a riot shield if it meant I could hug her once)
A close up of a STAR unit from Signalis. The text reads "you are not immune to tall beautiful dangerous pretty gorgeous handsome good looking attractive delightful heavenly stunning irresistible elegant drop dead gorgeous Protektor Replika women". As it should.

Goober gremlin plays in Battlefield 6. My other clips were too long to fit (haha there's a joke to be made there).

Risking it for the biscuit! I'm Saph, a 2D artist that has an obsessive need to draw my girlfriend and I's OCs/sonas lol. Hope to properly animate them and their slice of life adventures at some point.
A completed, rendered armored woman. Her armor is blue and silver, and is ragged and damaged, presumably following a large battle. Her hair is slightly messy in the bangs, while the sides are cut short and straight. Her eyes are lilac. Two women in armor, one is blue-armored, and laying on her stomach, the other is gray-armored, and straddling her from behind. The gray-armored girl looks serious, and is mounting her weapon on her partner's shoulder for stability, while her partner is laughing, and making a humorous hand gesture denoting accuracy. An ODST in the dark, reloading a shotgun, while covered in glowing blood. A fiery grenade is on her skirt. Two Spartans, the left one is ice-blue, the right one is steel-gray. The steel-gray Spartan is draping her arms over her partner's shoulders. She's kneeling from an airborne vehicle slightly above ground level. It's sunset/sunrise, and orange light is bathing them both.

Just the beginning of a little shitpost animation WIP. I haven't animated before past looping stickers so we'll see how this turns out lol.

I haven't drawn these two in an eon, but had to get this messy as hell sketch out when the idea came up tonight. Maybe I'll wind up fully rendering it lol.

Remember to always spot your partner. It might cost your hearing, but it's worth it for the shot in the end.

Did a super random update to an old project's sky to avoid burnout while also working on a comm and I love it lol. Left is old, right is new.

Will be able to apply this to future comms and projects with skies hopefully.
A view of a sky above Mt. Fuji. It is sunset with brilliant shades of red, blue, and purple. The sun hangs low, close to setting, shining an orange glow on Fuji and a nearby torii.

Reposting old experimental horror Halo art for spooky season. This was heavily inspired by a certain scene from Signalis. Guess which one lol.

I need to do more stuff like this.

#Halo
A gray armored warrior in ancient armor, their hand reaches for their blood-red jaws, their fingertips glowing the same shade. Their helmet features a humanoid nose, and large horns akin to a Japanese mask. A hybrid of man and monster.

Part of me needs to remember it's okay to take my time with high fidelity pieces with their nature, the other part of me feels horrible some things take so long to do when I'm doing this for dosh lmaooooo.

But!!!! Backpack. And. Binoculars. (UNSC text not final lol)
Unfinished lineart of a backpack. The print on the backpack reads "UNSC". A thigh-mounted binocular set. Used for scouting yuri frens.

I'm soooooooo in love with this new (lol) visor color for Halo. No one has any idea (except for the people who've seen my image spam lmaooooo).
A menu image of Halo Infinite. A sky-blue Spartan with white accents and a white visor is the focus. It shines under the light source.

Someday I'll actually dive through these files and make the best (I SWEAR GUYS) Halo montage that nobody will ever watch and you'll all be sorry. You'll see.
A text box from a Windows folder. It reads "Date created: May 27th, 2025", with a size of 182 gigs, and the first listed file is a clip of Halo Infinite taken in November of 2023.

Random cute girl spam. I wanna do more art with said cute girl (ideally) soon.
And aloof looking woman with straight cut hair and lilac eyes. A woman in deep black, gray, and blue armor. She's winking, with her tongue out. A goofy woman indeed. A black armored woman laying her head on her arms. She looks surprised over sad, with her semi-unseen partner gently running her fingers through her hair.
