I wasn’t really sure where this piece was going at first, but I just got into a flow and didn’t stop until it was done. ⚔️ He ended up with red-and-black armor that gives him a bit of a ninja vibe—though without the face mask, which makes him feel more mysterious. For the background, I kept it plain green to create contrast against the red armor and highlight his bright blue eyes. It was a fun experiment in balancing colors and keeping the design bold while still simple. Curious to hear what you guys think!

I absolutely love how he looks both in the anime and manga, and I’m already working on another drawing of him for a future post. I hope you guys enjoy this one in the meantime! ✨

I’m also still working on the other Strahd piece, so please look forward to that and be patient with me 🙏🏻🦇 It’s taking a little more time, but I really want to capture the atmosphere and details just right. Can’t wait to share it with you once it’s finished!

Did some Yandere-inspired pics of our favorite blue-haired boy! 💙🔪 How do you think they turned out? Honestly, his hands nearly drove me insane—I was this close to strangling them myself with how much anguish they caused. 😂 I ended up tracing the hands first, then lining them using the trace as a reference, and even sketched my own hands to try and get the poses right. It was definitely a struggle, but I learned a lot and had so much fun bringing him to life in this style. Hope you enjoy the results as much as I enjoyed making them! ✨

Here’s a close-up of Lavander in his dragon form, and I have to say—he looks incredible! 🐉 I pulled inspiration from Fairy Tail, Gate, and Spirited Away, aiming for that mix of fierce power and mystical elegance. His design has been one of my favorite challenges so far, balancing the graceful lines of a dragon with details that make him feel truly alive. This isn’t polished wallpaper art just yet, but I’m working toward it, and I hope you’ll enjoy following the process as much as I enjoy creating it. Lavander’s dragon form is a big part of the story I’m building, and I can’t wait to show you more of his world.

Here’s a close-up of Lavander’s human form! 💜 I’m so excited for the comic to release and can’t wait for you all to experience the story. In the meantime, I wanted to share the different stages of Lavander’s design—baby, teen, and adult—so you can see how the character grows and changes over time. It’s been a lot of fun bringing these versions to life, and I hope you enjoy this sneak peek as much as I enjoyed creating it! ✨

I reworked Lavander to better align him with the Kingdom of Coins, shifting his elemental focus away from water, which is traditionally tied to Cups, and grounding him more firmly in Earth. His design has been refined to echo Japanese aesthetics, closer to his original concept. I also changed his hair from blue to white—though I debated between white and black, I chose white to emphasize his draconic identity and give him a more otherworldly presence.

Anyone here a Curse of Strahd fan? 🦇 I thought it’d be fun to picture Strahd in a different light—roaming his castle in something casual instead of the usual imposing armor. I can’t imagine wearing plate armor every hour of the day is comfortable, even for a vampire lord. There’s something strangely eerie yet peaceful about the idea of him pacing the halls like that—still powerful, but more human in appearance. 🏰✨ Despite him being Lawful Evil, this piece came out with a surprisingly calm vibe. I hope you enjoy it! As always, it was made entirely on my phone with just my fingers—no tablet yet. If you have tips or tricks for improving, I’d love to hear them!
