WELCOME, AGENT.

Partial painting process video for the 80 hour grind. Note that I have no idea what Zero's lab looks like in ANGEL IN BONDAGE and no one should think it looks like this (nor am I exactly set on Zero's looks here), I just needed to make this look good compositionally & colorwise for this project. Silhouette looks more “heroic” here with the spotlighting from the environment, but he’s definitely lankier in terms of body type from what he does day to day, hahah. One day I’ll make proper character sheets for my AiB characters...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 🌹 @agentrosehq on Twitter 🌹Patreon.com/AgentRoseHQ - support my art & original Secret Service story, and get monthly rewards! “Free yourself” and give ANGEL IN BONDAGE a read. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #scifiart #dailyartinspiration #artandtechnology #neonartwork #scifiartwork #scififantasy #worldbuilding #sciencefictionart #arttimelapse #angelinbondage #patreon #semirealisticart #artprocessvideo #artvideos #coolartwork #speedpaints #speedpainter #patreonartist #laboratory #sciencefictionbooks #cyberpunk #storyillustration #colorfulart #conceptart #conceptartist #characterart #characterartist #agentrose #artisfun (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/BylbDRCnzO_/?igshid=d5cgolqq60sx

Cadet Yiuna, AiB

1 hour live demo done on Twitch for a follower, eye study (although a bit stylized to make the pupils softer/a different color). Did a walkthrough with tips and block-in to finish. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 🌹 @agentrosehq on Twitter for inspirational quotes, art, & more! 🌹Patreon.com/AgentRoseHQ - support my art & original Secret Service story, and get monthly rewards! “Free yourself” and give ANGEL IN BONDAGE a read. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #koreanart #portraitstudy #portraitpainting #portraitartist #digitalportrait #fanart #kpopfanart #kpopart #koreanfanarts #agentrose #eyestudy #drawingeyes #patreonartist #kimtaehyungfanart #btsfanart #dailyartinspiration #artcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGlJczntmh/?igshid=h7g3yuk8hz7l

My new icon, swipe for outfit detail! Have been working on this for months between classes and Patreon. Rina Nukumori works for the Scotland Yard in my original Secret Service story, ANGEL IN BONDAGE. Her father, the Met Police Commissioner, is quite abusive. I’ll introduce her and Vercy as well as talk about how Yiuna (the blonde-haired agent I’ve drawn in other posts) and Vercy met in a military academy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Only 2 chapters are out, but it’s enough to make people cry by the end of the 2nd chapter, which is a oneshot flashback between Yiuna and her lover. They meet each other on a mission in Sicily and don’t find out important things until it’s too late. “Free yourself” and give ANGEL IN BONDAGE © a shot, the link is in my bio on my Patreon to read the chapters! You won’t regret it... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 🌹 @agentrosehq on Twitter for inspirational quotes, art, & more! 🌹Patreon.com/AgentRoseHQ - support my art & original Secret Service story, and get monthly rewards! “Free yourself” and give it a read. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #metpolice #policewoman #womeninuniform #artwip #sketchpractice #patreonartist #artinspo #ocartwork #ocstory #portraitures #portraitartist #articon #portraitpainter #portraitpaintings #secretservice #amreadingromance #grayscalecoloring #asianart #originalcharacterart #artworkinprogress #ocsketch #romancereader #romancereads #angelinbondage (at Metropolitan Police) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2pq0sAh6t/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14o3zhto88g5w

WIP digital art of my current icon, my original character! Rina Nukumori is the daughter of the Metropolitan Police Commissioner in my story, ANGEL IN BONDAGE. The upcoming chapter, “Tide, Tied”, will introduce her and Vercy as well as talk about how Yiuna (the blonde-haired agent I’ve drawn in other posts) and Vercy met. Then all 4 of my planned main characters will have been introduced!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Only 2 chapters are out, but it’s enough to make people cru by the end of the 2nd chapter, which is a oneshot flashback between Yiuna and her lover.

More hand studies. To go completely off topic, sometimes I wonder if a specific thing I’m looking for in life will ever come to me.⠀Because so far it hasn’t. Too bad I can’t get more specific than that because this post is public, after all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On another note, I’ve been trying to write Chapter 3 of ANGEL IN BONDAGE and it has been evading me - I really want every chapter to be emotionally impactful so perhaps that’s why I’ve just been adding to different areas of my manuscript, hopping around. I still have the problem of Ch. 3 being too vague and high-level, and have trouble forming details. This is a recurring problem for me, so if anyone has tips, please drop a comment hahah.. Otherwise there may be art of Yiuna and Candy coming up soon, please look forward to it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 🌹 @agentrosehq_quotes 🌹 @agentrosehq on Twitter 🌹Patreon.com/AgentRoseHQ - support my original story and art & get monthly rewards! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #patreonartist #artinspo #artstudy #agentrose #agentrosehq #dailydoodles #handstudy #handstudies #anatomystudy #anatomystudies #drawinghands #handreference #handpose #coloredpencil_art #inspiringart #inspiringartist #practicedrawing #artstudents #characterartist (at England) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvphmX1AtKC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11fmcmyl8rk04

Grayscale to color face study in Photoshop! The facial structure and eyes got a lot of attention. Was studying asian faces to prep myself to draw my story characters from Angel in Bondage (like Rina, who is at least part Japanese). This is my first ever Patreon reward - patrons got the full-size art, PSD file with layers to study, video with voice-over explanation, and some bonus sketches. Hoping for the best as I get used to making monthly rewards. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 🌹 @agentrosehq_quotes 🌹 @agentrosehq on Twitter 🌹Patreon.com/AgentRoseHQ - support my art & get monthly rewards!

Not sure why, but when I posted these hand studies on Twitter, it blew up more than my other art that I try harder on..that’s social media, huh. I feel I need to draw hands more, especially since they can really add to a gesture when drawn right. I’ve drawn around 800 faces but not nearly as many hands.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 🌹 @agentrosehq_quotes 🌹 @agentrosehq on Twitter 🌹Patreon.com/AgentRoseHQ - support my original story and art & get monthly rewards! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #patreonartist #artinspo #artstudy #agentrose #agentrosehq #dailydoodles #handstudy #handstudies #anatomystudy #anatomystudies #drawinghands #handreference #handpose #coloredpencil_art #inspiringart #inspiringartist #practicedrawing #artstudents #characterartist (at Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BujuxTHgzeo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1122oolz2coj4

Art trade with a friend! This is her OC, Alphie (swipe for digital closeup). Added some washi tape as framing and put it on a gold trimmed board (the strawberry is my digital painting too)! Printing was a pain though since the colors didn’t turn out quite right. Might draw more people’s OC’s soon, will make a Twitter post people can comment on if they want to participate/have me draw something for them. ♥️⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 🌹 @agentrosehq_quotes 🌹 @agentrosehq on Twitter 🌹Patreon.com/AgentRoseHQ - support my Secret Service story and art & get monthly rewards!

I let Yiuna sleep in this sketch as I finished past 4am.. Some days hurt more to get through than others, and sleep is release I think a lot of us need more of. I release a lot of life pain in writing AiB and art, which I think a lot of other creatives do as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Free yourself: link in my bio to read about my OC in this sketch (links to read my Secret Service story, ANGEL IN BONDAGE ©, are listed on my Patreon)! ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 🌹 @agentrosehq_quotes 🌹 @agentrosehq on Twitter 🌹PATREON.COM/AGENTROSEHQ - support my story and art & get monthly rewards!

Instead of sleeping, I let Yiuna sleep in this sketch that I finished at 4am...Some days are harder to get through than others - on those days, I wish I could stay in bed. It’s peaceful like this, clears your mind. It definitely helps people come back stronger.

I don’t think non-artists realize just how many poses artists do for their own drawing reference (or otherwise ask our friends to do some pretty extravagant poses for us hahah). This is my icon’s art that I should have released sooner...I cropped Yiuna’s pose in this one but I did do my icon’s full pose in front of a mirror, which makes things faster than drawing from imagination. Capturing the right feeling/energy/mood can be a challenge at times, especially if you have use one hand to shoot a picture, wish I could clone myself sometimes. I highly value the emotion in a lot of my art, so the gesture is important. I dance for fun and it definitely helps with posing too, hahah. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 🌹 @agentrosehq_quotes 🌹 @agentrosehq on Twitter 🌹PATREON.COM/AGENTROSEHQ - support my story and art & get monthly rewards!

In my head, I have always envisioned Zero as a mess. There was always so much work to be done in my life, and I imagined it’d be nice to be smart enough to get away with being more lazy - just naturally taking less time. Zero definitely gets away with it at times. When I was designing his character, I knew I couldn’t leave any main character without some big flaws (esp. if they’re good-looking, hahah). Special agent Yiuna immediately throws him down in Chapter 1 of ANGEL IN BONDAGE ©, my original Secret Service story.

Slowly transitioning to semi-realism in my art as I gain skill..hoping to draw decently enough to illustrate Angel in Bondage’s highlight scenes and character sheets soon. I feel too pressured to draw main characters seriously for now; all current images of Zero, Yiuna, and Rina are in beta mode and are just approximations. Does anyone else feel pressured to draw OC’s well? I haven’t even drawn Vercy in beta yet..I will soon. Agents, share some of your fave artists’ handles on IG! Always looking for new inspo. Tagging people to do an art vs. artist post too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 🌹 @agentrosehq_quotes 🌹patreon.com/AgentRoseHQ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #artvsartist #patreonartist #digitalpaintings #supportcreativity #texturestudy #photoshopdrawing #artistsonig #writersofig #lightnovel #quickread #lightnovels #agentrose #animestyleart #mi6 #spynovel #conceptartist #semirealism #angelinbondage #portraitpainting #ianfleming #writersofinsta #storyart #romancereads #secretservice (at Heathrow Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt2vxXig8pA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19cz6zatpxn3y
