Do it, Sora. Kill them all.

Hype for KH fandub final episode is real, big shoutouts to @snapcube.gay and everyone else who brought it together! (also @chongosky.bsky.social for voicing Jiminy in particular)

#art #kingdomhearts #sora #snapstreamart #mirrorsamuraiart
Fanart of Sora from Kingdom Hearts, with Jiminy Cricket on his shoulder directing him to give in to his bloodlust. Sora looks at Jiminy with wide, perplexed eyes. Above Sora is a Chain of Memories-style textbox (made with the Death Generator, https://deathgenerator.com). It shows Jiminy Cricket saying, "Do it, Sora. It's been five minutes since you last took a life."

Finally getting back into drawing! Wanted to show off the hobbies and interests of some of my OCs, starting with Caelan!

He's an RPG adventurer boyo, so he definitely knows a thing or two about making a good campfire.

#art #oc #ocsky #mirrorsamuraiart
Artwork of my OC Caelan. He is a mercenary boy in his early teens, wearing blue clothes with a long scarf, and has messy blue hair. Caelan is seen sitting in front of a campfire he made, all relaxed and happy to be resting up in the woods. Also floating around next to him is Felice, a tiny blue fairy with pink wings.

I am so freaking happy I got to play Puyo Puyo for the first time this year.

So yeah! Wanted to draw Arle and Carbuncle to give this series a shoutout!

#art #puyopuyo #mirrorsamuraiart
Fanart of Arle Nadja from the Puyo Puyo series. She's casting magic while doing a flashy pose, with bright yellow sparkles in the air next to her and a wide wave of five-coloured Puyos sweeping out in front of her. Carbuncle is also floating nearby, with his usual big ol' smile.

Oh hey, we hit 400 subscribers on YouTube!

Does this mean I'm going to bring back my YouTube channel before the end of the year? Uhhhhhhhhhhh...
Cropped screenshot of Mirror's YouTube channel, which now has exactly 400 subscribers.

@snapcube.gay Been loving the Kingdom Hearts fandub, so I wanted to draw some fanart of Sora as a cardiologist!

I wonder if they let doctors wear ergonomic clown shoes?

#art #kingdomhearts #sora #snapstreamart #mirrorsamuraiart
Fanart of Sora from Kingdom Hearts, except he's wearing a white doctor's uniform and holding a stethoscope. I kept a lot of the elements from his KH1 outfit intact, including the goofy shorts (but I paired them with leggings because being a doctor is messy work). The background behind him is a chart with a heartrate diagram and a heart doodle. And of course, he's wearing his Ergonomic Clown Shoes For Boys™. I couldn't draw him without them.

So I had this learn-to-draw-manga book as a kid that I never really opened. And... I dunno, thought it'd be fun to redraw it in my style!

#art #redraw #mirrorsamuraiart
Artwork of a red-haired fantasy knight with a gold sword. This piece is a redraw of the cover of a how-to-draw-manga book I owned as a teenager (Kids Draw Manga by Christopher Hart). Photo of a copy of Kids Draw Manga by Christopher Hart. On the cover is the original art that I'm redrawing with this piece. (the artstyle gives me 80s-90s manga vibes specifically?)

Just finished my revisit of Undertale!

Wanted to replay it before I started Deltarune, and man... I love this game so much. Even moreso than I did the first time around.
Screenshot from the True Pacifist Ending of Undertale. A sepia photograph of all the major characters is seen above the "THE END" text. Also, the Annoying Dog is sleeping on the bottom of the screen.

Welp, it's nearly the 25th October. Happy birthday to me!

Wanted to draw a cute little thing with me and some of my OCs to celebrate!

#art #oc #ocsky #mirrorsamuraiart
Coloured sketch of Mirror's sona opening a present with a big smile on his face. Next to him are two of his OCs, with Caelan (the blue mercenary boy) on the right, and Nerissa (the red mage girl) on the left, both happy and supportive that it's their creator's birthday.

Man. It's been way too long since the last time I drew my avatar character in full colour.

(reuploaded because I didn't like the original legs and wanted to fix them up)

#art #mirrorsamuraiart
Artwork of Mirror's persona, who has brown hair and blue fantasy clothing with silver armour and a large cape. He's walking away from the viewer and turning around to face them with a smile.

So I recently tried out the demo for Duskfade, and I wanted to draw some fanart to go with it!

Man am I excited for this game. If "clock-based Kingdom Hearts-inspired 3D platformer" is up your alley, go check out the demo on Steam!

#art #duskfade #mirrorsamuraiart
Fanart of Zirian, the main protagonist of the upcoming indie game Duskfade. He's seen carrying his clock-sword Minutero, while standing in front of a background split half-and-half between a starry night sky and a cloudy daytime sky (heavily inspired by the game's key art), with the image of a golden clock face over the front. Floating in the air next to him is Cuckoo, his little clockwork bird companion. I did simplify Zirian's outfit a fair bit, just because the details were kind of overwhelming and it was hard to find good references.

I'm kinda late, but happy #PortfolioDay!

My name's Mirror. I'm a British, autistic-ADHD artist and character designer who doesn't tend to stick to one particular interest. Here's some examples of the stuff I draw!

#art #mirrorsamuraiart
Artwork of a group of four fantasy adventurer OCs - the swordfighter Caelan, the mage Nerissa, the bard-archer Cypris and the knight Aladria. There is also a tiny fairy, Felice, who floats next to Caelan. Caelan is at the far left of a grassy field, waving for the rest of his party to follow him. Nerissa excitedly runs to the front, while Cypris is walking slowly and Aladria has already stopped. Fanart of a friend's OC, Amelia (belongs to michaelhart on Bluesky). She is a blonde-haired girl with sheeplike traits and a green dress, who carries two trays outside a small dining area, with one tray full of cakes and one full of drinks (Tea? Coffee? Hot chocolate? All three?). I wanted the pose to have the vibes of a fancy waitress doing a twirl while she places your order on the table. I drew this for a DTIYS that the character's creator hosted a while ago. Ended up winning one of the runner-up prizes! Fanart of Dante from Devil May Cry (specifically his DMC4 outfit), because of the DMC edits that were going around throughout May 2025. He's standing against a blue fire background, with a confident smirk and his sword held over his shoulder. Fanart of Rydia from Final Fantasy IV, a personal highlight from last year. She's seen standing in a misty landscape, casting her summon magic with the green magic orbs revolving around her.

Inspired by Day 6 of #stormythoc_tober2025: Colour Palette Swap!

Thought this'd be really fun to do with Felice and Nyxia. And it was. (needless to say Nyxia wants her evil vibes back)

#art #oc #ocsky #oc_tober2025 #mirrorsamuraiart
Art of two OCs, Felice and Nyxia, both tiny fairies with translucent wings, pointed ears and fantasy-esque clothing. Felice is the male-presenting fairy on the left, while Nyxia is the female fairy with the long braids on the right. However, their colour palettes are swapped, so Nyxia has the friendly pastel blue colours (much to her annoyance), while Felice has the edgy black hair, purple clothes and blood-red eyes (I don't think they mind too much).

Who said there's only one way to slay?

Finally got around to redrawing this old OC meme of mine! Feel free to redraw it with your own characters, I'd love to see your takes on it.

#art #oc #ocsky #mirrorsamuraiart
A sketchy meme that portrays "the two types of villain", using two of my OCs. On the left is the gladiator Arondite, who readies his greatsword with a threatening look about him, above the text "SLAY!". On the right is the dark fairy Nyxia, who does a flamboyant pose while whistling, above the text "Slay~" (in fancy letters, of course).

Inspired by Day 3 of #stormythoc_tober2025: Opposite Personality!

Decided to put my own spin on it and do Opposite Vibes. I got super attached to the idea of punk Tia and Rex, so here we are!

#art #oc #ocsky #oc_tober2025 #mirrorsamuraiart
Artwork of two OCs, Tia (left) and Rex (right), reimagined with a much edgier vibe and punk clothing. Tia is a girl with blue hair in twintails, wearing a loose, assymetrical outfit with red and black stripes, oversized arm warmers and these crisscross-pattern leggings. Rex is a guy with spiky brown hair, wearing the classic punk jacket with zips and pockets everywhere, complete with black sunglasses and the skinniest jeans ever. Normally they're both very happy-go-lucky, but for the opposite personalities I made Tia more of a bad girl and Rex kind of grumpy.

Inspired by Day 5 of #stormythoc_tober2025: At Sunset!

Went with my DnD character Royce for this one. I dunno, sunset just fit his vibes.

#art #oc #ocsky #oc_tober2025 #mirrorsamuraiart
Artwork of my DnD character Royce Goldfield (human-aasimar, ranger). He is a teenage boy with small angel wings and fantasy adventurer clothes. He is seen sitting on the edge of a cliff, with his back to the camera, looking out to see the sunset over the sea.

Inspired by Day 4 of #stormythoc_tober2025: Fave Duo!

It had to be Roan and Senne. The gravity brothers, the himbo and the nerd. I love them so much.

#art #oc #ocsky #oc_tober2025 #mirrorsamuraiart
Artwork of two OCs, Roan Macroson (left) and his little brother Senne (right), holding hands and looking at each other determined. Roan is a muscular young man (roughly 18) with lilac hair and a prosthetic hand, while Senne is a skinny pre-teen boy (12) with sandy blond hair and hearing aids. Both are wearing the same sci-fi uniform with angular pauldrons.

Inspired by Day 2 of #stormythoc_tober2025: Coffee Shop AU!

Thought this'd be fun to do with Casp and Fran. They're from a school-based story, stands to reason they'd have a part-time job in a cafe.

#art #oc #oc_tober2025 #mirrorsamuraiart
Art of two OCs, Caspian and Francesca, working at a coffee shop. Both are sixteen years old - Casp is the boy on the left, and Fran is the girl on the right. Casp is handing a coffee out with a wink, while Fran is writing down another customer's order on a notepad.

Inspired by Day 1 of #stormythoc_tober2025: Redesign an old OC!

Wanted to finally give a new design to Floren Larkspur! A character I've always wanted to give a redraw but never really did.

#art #oc #oc_tober2025 #mirrorsamuraiart
Artwork of an OC, Floren Larkspur. He is an elven man with reddish-brown hair and glasses. He wears a bare-shouldered, scholarly outfit that is primarily made of leaves, and is seen adjusting his glasses. On the top left is Floren's old art (from 2022? I think?), which I included for a handy little comparison. Notably, he didn't have glasses back then. Another version of Floren's new art, with an orange outfit instead of green. I made this as an experiment because I didn't want all of my Leaf Legion characters to be wearing green leaves. (also we're deep into autumn now so it fits in that regard)

Randomly wanted to draw men in crop tops, ended up having a fun idea to practice posing character interactions. That's all there is to it.

#art #characterdesign #mirrorsamuraiart
Some sketchy art of two young men wearing crop tops and athletic shorts. On the left is a pretty thin guy with black hair and blue clothes, while on the right is a beefy man with blonde hair and red clothes. The right guy has an encouraging hand on the left guy's shoulder, who's playfully digging his elbow into the right guy's side. (neither of these characters have names, I just made them up as I went along)

So after well over a year of having it in my backlog, I finally watched Frieren!

I'm only two episodes in but I love it so much that I just had to draw fanart.
#art #frieren #mirrorsamuraiart
Fanart of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, depicting the titular elf mage Frieren. She is floating in a sunset sky, surrounded by a whirlwind of blue-moon weed flower petals. This fanart was heavily inspired by Episode 2 of the anime.

If you're interested, here's a side-by-side of the most recent design and the one that came before it!
On the left is my Human!Sonic design from early 2024, the last time I drew him. On the right is his new design that I drew just now in 2025. (he looks a lot taller in the new design but that's just because I draw people taller in general nowadays. His intended height is 5'5" for both designs)

I've had this human design of Sonic around for years now, and I figured it was finally time to give him a redesign!

#art #sonic #sonicthehedgehog #mirrorsamuraiart
Art of Sonic the Hedgehog interpreted as a human design (gijinka). He is a teenager with blue hair, freckles and an outfit suited for running, with shorts, leggings and running shoes that resemble the classic red shoes. For this new design, I gave him a sleeveless open jacket with a white shirt beneath it.

So I've been wondering, how would I draw Mario and Luigi in my usual artstyle? Well I gave it a try, and here's the end result!

#art #supermario #mario #luigi #mirrorsamuraiart
Fanart of Mario and Luigi, giving each other a jumping high-five. This is my first time drawing them in my usual artstyle, so they're in more realistic (but still heavily stylised) proportions. The pose was referenced from some official 2D stock art.
