Here it is, the first batch of fanart inspired by one of all time favorite anime, with the addition of the Majestics and the Dark Bladers to the fray, as they were key characters in the Blade Breakers’ development both as a team as well as players… These pieces were done using fine liners, alcohol and acrylic markers and watercolors and I’m really happy with them and do look forward to doing something inspired by V-Force and potentially G-Rev 😊😊😊

I’ve seen so many gorgeous artworks of mermaids resting in teacups that i decided to give this idea a try… This piece was done using watercolors, gradually waiting for each layer to dry before adding the next one, and then I weent with colored pencils and metallic watercolors to add in the details in the mermaid… The hanging plants and the kelp inside the teacup were my favorite part to work on, as well as the moss in the floor, which I hadn’t included in the sketch but felt like it’d be a nice touch 😊

I do have some original pieces planned out, but I decided to start with this one because I simply couldn’t get the idea off of my head… I used watercolors, colored fine liners and acrylic markers

Here’s a little something I worked on for this date, done using watercolors on an A4 Canson sketchbook and inspired not only by Yoda, but by one of my all-time favorite Star Wars quotes… Sprinkling the stars was my favorite part of it 😊

As for the album, I haven't listened to it in its entirety - I'm slow - but the few songs I listened to, I definitely enjoyed... I was a little taken aback by her creative approach to the theme of this one, as I was sort of expecting the songs to be just as associated with the theme as the album art and the photos are... But I do think there is a spark of joy and happiness in this one, which is really nice, as I felt TTPD had more bleakness to it, and it's nice to see it replaced by more positivity

Their rivalry is definitely the highlight of the series, with no other even coming close to how intense they can make a spinning top game feel... Kai is still my favorite character (anime/mangá and overall) and I really like the way the writers did his arc, making him a better person without resorting to doing a 180 in his personality... I wish his mangá version had the same sort of nuance, as he's definitely more angry than stoic, but I think it serves the purpose of the story... Also, his soft spot for animals in later seasons is definitely an inspired decision ;)

Mediums used include fine liners, alcohol markers, acrylic brush pen markers, fine liner brush pen and watercolors… Painting armor is very trick but also a lot of fun

From first to second page, left to right, top to bottom, we have: Baelor Targaryen, Maekar Targaryen, Valarr Targaryen, Aerion Targaryen, Aegon “Egg” Targaryen, Daeron Targaryen and Dunk/Duncan

Figuring out their poses and how to make them work together harmoniously was tricky, as I did a few rough sketches, but I’m really happy with the way this one turned out! The first time I saw Fletchling in the games made me instantly fall in love with it, and the evolutions did not disappoint!

You can swipe to see some progress photos, and this is something I promised myself I’d do more
