Part One of the How It’s Done - Saja Boys edition

Baby Saja (Kang Minjae in the hc I’m developing) - battle strategist of the Saja Boys.

A prodigy since childhood, his intellect has always set him apart, his genius rarely rivaled. With the Hwandudaedo of Mirrors, he bends light and strategy alike, cutting illusions into truth. He held the back line with Jinu…

But that was before…

The avatars the world knew on stage are gone. What has returned are their true selves - demons unbound, forged in the legions of hell. Mystery, Romance, Abby, and Baby. Stronger, sharper, and more terrifying than before.

And Jinu? The brother they lost. His sacrifice has been twisted into a lie. Now they believe he was tricked by Huntr/x. Slaughtered by the three demon hunters. That falsehood burns brighter than any flame.

They don’t want fame.

They want vengeance.

Work in Progress for Baby Saja. He's almost ready to show you how it's done (done done). You'll have to guess what weapon I'm giving him.

Meanwhile, I've been cooking up some hard canon lore for him and our favorite demon idols. Let me know if you're interested in me sharing it here or on AO3.

In the meantime, I'll be finishing him up and then moving on to the next Saja Boy in the series. Let me know who you think should be next.

This art has gone through so many phases. Ultimately I have decided to draw each Saja Boy separately and will collage them together. Baby Saja is up first, but it's taking longer than I expected. Mostly because I keep finding details to add.

I may post a WIP soon, but I'm hoping it's finished before long!

blighted bellara reunites with illario. They are coming up for air, but they will resume kissing very soon... (Give them 5 seconds.)

@himluv - thank you for the inspiration. It's the first thing I've drawn in weeks and can honestly say I missed these goobers. I will definitely revisit this concept, but I really liked the rough sketch vibes. I hope you like them, too!

I need to draw something. Anything.

I'm down to draw anything from Veilguard or KPop Demon Hunters, but I seriously need inspiration. Consider this free comms (within reason). I don't think this post will reach enough people to get overwhelming, but I'll try to draw all requests.

When despair turns to hate and pain serves as a shackle and a vow, survival is no longer an act of determination; it is an act of Spite.

Send help. And cookies.

Grandma died. Anxiety hit new heights. People trying to scam me via commissions (be careful out there, artists), new book got accepted by publisher, working on more, and now I'm starting my new job.

The Dellamorte Family enjoying a Summer picnic

Spoilers (in a sense) for my fics, since we haven’t met Inara or baby Cyrian, but we do see Bellara pregnant with their daughter in Falling and Failing.

Hope you like it!

Based on a scene from In the Shadow of Fallen Gods (which is on ao3 - Velvet Raven).

Bellara finds herself the target of an ambush and in the midst of fighting and looking for Rook and Lucanis, she runs into Illario Dellamorte who recognizes her from their first meeting. He tries to charm her would-be kidnappers, but when one of them calls her a knife ear, Illario takes matters into his own hands.

Bellara thanks him by tending to his injured hand in the aftermath.

Y’all…

This drawing was a TRIAL. I originally planned to color it like I usually do, but about halfway through gauntlet (which was a damn nightmare), I decided a flat color would be better for this kind of line work.

Bonus points to anyone who catches the symbolism!

Hope you like it!

Illario is in his element. The only thing he is missing is company.
