Escaped Prisoner of Innocence

One of my favorite Pieces I have done is “Prisoner of Innocence” it sorta helped me cement my style, and was one of the pieces that helped me get antiquated with Adobe Illustrator. I liked the concept of being tied down to “innocence” and holding that facade, and hide your true habits/quirks. I then recently wondered whats happened to the character in that piece over all this time. 

Hence! She is now an “Escaped Prisoner of Innocence” She has changed her look considerably (I also wanted to draw a gyaru....) She is a little more open with her habits and less worried about being tied to her role. This shows how much I’ve grown to understand Illustrator, and how much I have evolved my art style. I’m REALLY proud of this one.   

I knew I forgot Something!

While I was happily working away at 2 projects, I completely forgot to post the full completed version of this! 

Just like in Warhammer 40k, dice gets everywhere on the board and the floor. I fixed the hands while I was tracing it. I realized the right hand was anatomically off, and that the left hand was in an awkward pointing position...so I did what anyone else would. Prayed to my master Ikuhana Niro and tried my best at the hands. They came out great! I love the way Scarlet looks in this picture. She is so bright and stands out. God I really need to stop drawing her....

GET BENT XENOS!!!

So I like to draw Scarlet....maybe a little to much.However I am trying to change it up by drawing her in different outfits and such. This time I thought I would have her be doing what she loves. Tabletop gaming!

You can’t see it now but Scarlet is a Salamanders person. She also hates fighting Tau. 

I’ve been reading alot of Ikuhana Niro’s work. (WHICH IS NSFW) but the artist has a great understanding and ability to draw hands and feet. So I decided to (against my own personal preferences) not draw stockings or knee socks. At least not on both legs. My feet came out passable which is more than I could have wanted, though the hands need a bit of work.I love the shape of the face and I should shut up now.

Life Can Be A Bitch

Despite the title I am fine...relatively, I’m still a lonely loser who is scrawny and yearns for the warmth of human kindness, as everyday without it, begins to slowly tumble me further into a dark empty abyss that I call my life... So yeah I’m doing pretty good!

Kamen Rider Alpha!!

Dudes in suits are way better than shitty CG suits we see in movies now...I love the suits that each Kamen Rider wears, couldn’t help myself and draw one of the coolest.

Well, I’ve recently gotten into Japanese tokusatsu shows, by recently I mean I haven’t stopped watching different Kamen Rider series since the beginning of this year. One of the many I have finished is Kamen Rider Amazons (Season 1, currently finishing Season 2) So I thought I would draw my favorite character.

Lewd Scarlet

I really gotta stop drawing Scarlet…I am drawing other things but I keep wanting to color in only Scarlet pictures…someone help me…

I know some people are iffy when it comes to rule 34 and their characters… but I have learned to just beat them to it! Kidding! Kidding! However I don’t mind showing some T&A when it comes to my characters, probably because I’m a lonely dude.Drawing girls is always way easier for me, honestly I think its because back when I was in 7th grade drawing girls was my biggest problem. I then trained myself to draw better in general, and drawing girls that actually looked like girls was part of that. Now…I’m too good. Drawing dudes is a lot harder now…

Scarlet Amare: Spring Clothes!

Before you have a panic attack, yes 2 posts in one day. Calm down the world is not ending nor am I an imposter…at least to your knowledge….

*Regarding that comment I am not an imposter nor do I know about an upcoming apocalypse…it was merely a joke*

So recently I’ve been getting into fashion…not modern professional fashion that looks hideous and horrendous, rather comfort fashion and street fashion and such. Mainly Japanese comfort fashion because lots of japanese girl fashion is really cute and frilly. Now *Ahem* being the manly man I am, I wouldn’t wear it myself. However I got Scarlet to wear it for me… (Wow that sounds odd now that I think about it) So I’ve been looking up popular japanese fashion and putting it on her (the last sketch was also inspired by some as well) and it comes out great. Admittedly I love having my characters wear cute things…fashion has become something I’m hoping to emphasise more…funny how horrible I was at women’s fashion before. In my old drawings women all looked like dudes and wore a t-shirt and jeans….maybe a sweater. Because that’s all that exists in a man’s wardrobe. We live in T-shirts and jeans; and die in T-shirts and jeans.

Echoless Concept Artwork

I have been redrawing and touching up the designs and feels of some of the characters. One of the ones I had a hard time making was Lilith. I think I finally Finished her design...I liked the initial sketch so much I wanted to put it into color. I tried doing some stylistic shadows which turned out pretty good. I like her overall character and can’t wait to unleash my work onto the masses! I want to tell a meaningful story, and draw cute girls! Two things i am passionate about.

Now I know what your thinking, why the hell are you drawing her in lingerie? I could tell you why she would (there is a point) but to be honest, half the reason is because I just wanted to draw a cute girl in underwear...can’t help it I guess...regardless I think this turned out great! Definitely would do dirty things with her....like hold hands.

The Echoless!

So I tried something new, and holy crap did it work way better than I could have ever hoped. I worked on this literally all day, and for the first time…I think the digital render was better than my original sketch…something that admittedly never really happened. I tried doing a picture with no black outline and it worked. Not going back after this…except of course for the comic.

So again, this is Scarlet and the cover for my comic. I drew a cover already but this one came out 10x better. Also haven’t really put the pedal to the metal on the comic and am constantly revising and redrawing. I hope to finally get my style down and push it out since I’ve always wanted too…

Mini-Comic #1

The Echoless

So this is another attempt at a comic....Iv’e tried so many times before to find an idea I am completely aboard on to no avail, but maybe it’s different this time. I plan on releasing the first few pages once I’m done and if the people I show them to like it, I’ll finish it. I’m just always so self-conscious of my work, and constantly retool and redo everything until I think it’s perfect...which never happens...This time I will do my best and finally finish a comic for once...(I hope...)

(Artwork To Be Named) also unfinished....

Though I still don’t know what to call this piece (Though it hearkens back to my “Prisoner of Innocence” cuz I love that one...) It’s going to become the cover of my comic, and even though i’m already starting the comic, I have no idea what to call it...so the comic and this piece are nameless...

KILL ME....(again)

D&D: Countries of Cadence

So I’ve been doing LOTS of D&D with my close friends including (@Inkling-Sol)  (@harrowed-hunter)and recently got to DM my very own campaign! These are 2 of the NPC’s I had made for it...I love the whole red shadow thing and may have gone overboard but.... *SHRUGS* who cares. Looks stylish!
