Fulfilled two Patreon Requests, this time of Nelvana's cancelled cartoon version of The Rani from Doctor Who, and Beltorchika Irma in her Char's Counterattack concept appearance before being cut.

I always find beta designs of things super interesting.

One day wanted to draw Priss the Big City singer.

late 80s-early 90s Kenichi Sonoda style is actually quite fun to imitate

Looked at lot of anime laserdisc covers, so wanted to try my hand at it for Space Cassette Moumou, but as a Sukeban (as voted by my patrons)

RIP Souleymane Cissé

Happy Lunar New Year everyone!

蛇年大吉

Black Swan Ace

A short comic pilot to test the waters with this new character & story concept, to work out my interests new & old (Weird Fiction, 60s-70s Showa aesthetics, Chinese horror stylings, Ranma, the character of Naoto Shirogane, etc.)

(originally posted on patreon)

周穆王谒见西王母

or, King Mu of Zhou meets Queen-Mother of the West

Art summary of 2024, (roughly) by each month based on Patreon release dates.

Which ones were your favourites?

Yue Ying illustration, based on a Sakura Wars promo art by Judy Totoya(!), which I liked a lot.

(apparently this was stuck in my drafts for almost half a year and I never noticed I didn't ever post it oops)

Sometimes, I miss Videl.

"But she's still in new Dragon Ball stuff-"

I know what I said.

A new art poll is opened! And its a sequel! Because everybody likes a sequel right.

Same rules as last time; We decide what kind of outfit to have Moumou dresses up in.

The poll options are mostly the same, except now the sukeban is replaced with another, popular women's genre in the 80s-90s Japan.

Old Samus as requested by Patreon a while back.

Will they ever do an old Samus? Probably not, but then I think generally all media everywhere have a bias against old women. You have no idea how letdown I was by Dandadan when the grandma wasn't an actual cool crone lol.

灵禽真君 (pt.2)

More of this dinosaur yaoguai and ancestral patron of all birds. He lost his feathers on the lower body + other places over time.

灵禽真君

Or, What if the ancestral patron deity of the bird yaoguai/demons is so old, he's an actual dinosaur.

(Also happy halloween!)

These Samus quickies I did a few months back

NEW ART POLL on Patreon opened!

What if this time its to decide what kind of outfit to have Moumou dress up in for a respectively themed illustration? We shall see!
