In the event of @rosiecaddick.bsky.social's final stream on Playstation Access, I'm bringing this back out!

Oh and Rob and Delsin too!

The first sketch was the design pic I did when I was prepping for this un-accepted Mega Man Tribute Book entry.

I dunno... I had my best Mega Man idea back when MM3 was still new, and when I revisited it FIFTEEN YEARS AGO...

Nostalgia-ber recap!

Dead or Alive's Hitomi vs Ayane
Voodoo and Velocity from Image Comics (as of the 90's)
Gambit and Rogue

and

I may not have as much time to draw this holiday season, but I'll try to get at least one up for December!

For my 200 Followers Sketch, I drew Squirrel Girl for @mistahdood.bsky.social!

My next giveaway may not be Follower Count related (200 took FOREVER, and I'm NOT popular!), so keep an eye out!

Nostalgia-ber continues with Voodoo and Velocity! I hopped on Image Comics in the early years, following the art of Jim Lee and Marc Silvestri coming off of X-Men and Wolverine.

November is Nostalgia-ber!

I posted before about how #DeadOrAlive was a big source of imagination fodder for me.

I'd like to see the series have some kind of revival. The level of fanservice could be dependent on the player by giving a more robust customization system.

Do, do that Voodoo that you do so well...

Allow me to repost some #Samus #fanart while I share the quick story about how I unknowingly crossdressed one #Halloween.

Put simply, my friend owned the just-released #Metroid, it would be months before Samus' identity would be revealed in those pre-internet days, and you can figure out the rest.

I drew Morrigan and Lilith earlier in the month, but with the amount of work I put into the sketch and colors, I decided to hold them back until just before #Halloween.

Then Felicia gets the biggest reception ever, and now the pressure is on!

Decided to save my Morrigan/Lilith pic for closer to Halloween, so relax with Felicia!

As of this posting, I have reached 200 followers, so there is a bonus giveaway for a character sketch! bsky.app/profile/thev...

Welp, that's it! I reached the maximum number of followers that I ever had back on Twitter.

It's barely a drop in a bucket compared to a lot of artists out there, but this is MY bucket, dammit! 😁 For those actively liking and commenting on my works, thanks so much!

(Sketch Giveaway rules below!)

Gawd, she looks so cute. Thank you eyes, brain, and hand for cooperating so well for this one. Haven't had a drawing go from imagination to page as well as this for a long time without needing revisions, traditional or digital.

"I've got a yarn to share..."

Why is there so much string, why do I do this to myself, rarghaddargh...

(Because filling out details like this is strangely relaxing.)

Tomonobu Itagaki's passing is of some significance for me. DOA was a big inspiration for me as an artist, and though the series has gone dormant since its 6th title, I can never forget its influence on me over the years. Thanks for everything, Itagaki-san.

Lilith Aensland WIP. That's Morrigan's hand at her back.

Damn, this is one of the better smiles I've done in a long time.

If she loses to Rei, it's going to be like that whole "losing to Shinji" bit again.
