Today is the 5 year anniversary of SAWAYAMA by Rina Sawayama, so I made this album cover redraw in celebration (can’t resist a good one)! I’ve only listened to this album since ‘23 but it reminds me of Shiroizu so I HAD to draw her recreating the look. #fanart #artist #illustrator #SifuGame
A Japanese woman with dark brown eyes looks at the viewer with a concentrated stare, her black diamond shaped eyebrows pointing down. Her hair is completely white and strung out on two sticks stuck in small, gumdrop shaped buns on the top of her head. She wears tan/brown makeup on her eyelids that wraps around the sides of her face. Her earrings are diamond plated strips hanging off of brown, pretzel-shaped knots. She wears thin, loosely hanging pearl necklaces around her neck though some are obscured by heavy shadows. Her hands cover some of her face; the index fingers touch and one pinkie cover the other while the other fingers are folded. Her nails are different sizes, shapes, and shades of brown. On the backs of her hands and arms are small, dark brown tattoos. Her dress is beige and almost blends in with her skin, though some of it covers a section of her left hand and arm. The background is completely beige.

Original album cover

I’ve been meaning to make Wyatt Sick6 fanart for the longest time but didn’t have any really good ideas till this past weekend, so here’s a Nikki Cross based album cover redraw of Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown! I’ve really enjoyed her performance in particular :)
This drawing is only in black and white. A short, white woman stands and faces front, though you can only see her from the head to the chest. Her face is divided into two. The right half of her face has her looking up with her mouth slightly open. Her hair is wet, she wears lipstick, and she has long eyelashes with black makeup around her eyes. The left half of her face is covered with a full face mask. The eyehole is completely gray and its face is cracked. It gives the viewer a sadistic smile. There is also a line starting at the corner of the mouth that reaches the chin, implying it has a puppet’s mouth. Both halves wear the same outfit: a bulky, dark gray jacket with thick, silver edges and a plain black shirt underneath (cleavage is visible). Behind the normal face, the background is half dark gray & half light gray with more dark than light and the light part at the bottom. Behind the masked face are two vertical light and dark gray pillars. The dark gray is larger than the light gray though both sides have the same vertical light streaks going through them. Some of the hair on the masked side is much lighter than the rest. Surrounding this drawing is a thick, black border with text. The left and bottom sides read “LET US IN” written in jagged text while the top and right sides read “TIME TO PLAY” in bulky letters. Both phrases are fully capitalized. This drawing is a redraw of the album cover for Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown.

More kiLL edward, but he’s Straight Edge Society CM Punk this time just ‘cause #RenaDraws #art #artist #fanartist #fanart #tradtionalartist #traditionalart #JCole #kiLLedward
A lightskinned black man has his head tilted so he’s looking off to the side though his chest faces the opposite direction. He wears a shirt with the logo for the wrestling faction “The Straight Edge Society” on it; the shirt has a thick collar and is black save for the white logo. He has a silver lip ring and two silver earrings on. His eyes are completely white and his hair is in dark brown, freeform dreadlocks that touch his shoulders. His eyebrows are furrowed and messy, being made of one thick patch of hair and smaller, thinner hair around it. Directly behind him are three black ropes meant for a wrestling ring. Behind him but farther away is a screen displaying two cartoony, thickly bandaged arms that are balled up into fists and crossed at the wrists; in front of each hand is a thin, red X. The bottom of the background of the screen is white while the top half is black.

Sorry about the dip in activity; I’ll be honest, I didn’t entirely wanna post this when I finished but I will anyways. I saw Aleister Black wear this outfit in that run-in with Seth Rollins and had to put edward in it 💀 #RenaDraws #fanart #traditionalart #fanartist #JCole #kiLLedward
A lightskinned black man looks at something offscreen with furrowed, slightly arched eyebrows and his teeth are slightly grit. His eyes are completely white. He wears an all black tuxedo, thought the tie, shirt, and jacket collar have light pink and purple shading; his left shoulder is also much lighter than the rest of his suit. He has brown, freeform dreadlocks slicked back (this exposes an ear) and a full, brown beard that’s connected to his shaved sideburns. He wears a black lip ring. He has two tattoos: one of a skull with half closed eyes and a cracked forehead at the corner of his right eye and one of a light purple statice flower covering the back of his neck. His hair starts light at the top of his head and gets darker as the viewer looks down. The background consists of curtains colored in blotches of pastel pink, purple, and a darker blue.

Does any have any tips for using a big blending stick, I feel like I see a dot pattern most if not every time I use it and I don’t intend it to be there? #RenaSketches #sketch #WIP #workinprogress #fanart #fanartist #art #artist #traditionalart #traditionalartist #arthelp

kiLL edward dressed in Malakai Black’s antler mask+gaiter mask+jacket combo #RenaDraws #art #artist #illustration #illustrator #fanart #fanartist #JCole #kiLLedward
This drawing is a black and white headshot. The man looks at the viewer albeit at a slight angle. His hair is in dark, thick, freeform dreadlocks. He wears two masks: one is an animal skull with antlers that covers the top half of his face. Different lengthed strings with beads hang off of the antlers. The other mask is a black gaiter mask that covers his neck and the lower half of his face. He wears an open chest, sleeveless jacket, though there is nothing but light gray shading at the chest.

I drew Shiroizu from Sifu in this black and purple suit I saw on Pinterest, everything else was kinda thought up on the spot haha #RenaDraws #art #artist #fanart #Sifu #Shiroizu #fanart #fanartist
A Japanese woman with white hair and light blue eyes looks to her left with an annoyed expression. Her left hand is balled into a fist and near her face while her right hand is laying on a table. The back of her left hand has an open, angry mouth with golden teeth and fangs tattooed on it. Her right hand has the name “Kuroki” written in dark blue kanji tattoed on it. She wears a black, double breasted suit jacket buttoned up with silver buttons and a dark purple dress shirt buttoned up with black buttons underneath it. There are red-violet stands behind and on both sides of her with unique, alternating geometric patterns. The background is an orange gradient while the table she is sat at is half dark and light orange. To the right behind her is a red-violet seat.

Hello to whoever may see this! I’m Rena Knowles. I illustrate and write sometimes (though I’m mainly focused on drawing right now). Below are 3 drawings I’ve done in the past year. I hope you stick around to see more :) #RenaDraws #art #artist
A white-haired Japanese woman with light blue eyes, a white painted face and black tear-streaked makeup around her eyes stares at the viewer with a manic smile. She is holding a white kunai in front of her with her right arm, on which she is wearing one thick, silver ring on each finger and a pair of purple bands near her elbow. The background is a wall of waves that starts light gray at the top and gets darker when the viewer looks further down. The floor is a black pool; both the wall and floor waves have white ripples in them. Long drops of white rain fall from the top to the bottom of the drawing. A light skinned black man with tied up, freeform brown dreadlocks sits on a red brick wall. The wall has two designs plastered on it: one is a tiger paw with white tiger stripes on it and the other is a black and white cartoony silhouette of a horned demon. He wears a mint suit with the jacket open revealing a patterned mint dress shirt with dark gray buttons. He wears a black and white pair of Jordan Air Force 1s and his right leg swings up midair. His eyes are completely white with a relaxed expression, his eyebrows are messy, and he wears a half face mask designed like the bottom half of a skull. The background is light blue with dark gray silhouettes of two trees, one on the left and parts of one on the right. This drawing is only in black and white. A gloved hand with faint tiger stripes and a clawed thumb holds a small pane of glass. The arm of the hand is sleeved with a somewhat loose fitting hoodie. The reflection of the glass shows a tiger staring straight at the viewer. Its pupils are smaller than average and its ears are lowered. The background is a gradient that starts light at the top and gets darker when the viewer looks lower. This drawing is a redraw of the album cover for Oneohtrix Point Never’s Replica.
