“Misc Sketches 2”

A collection of fanart sketches I’ve done for some of favourite guilty pleasure series, featuring my ocs Clover & Casper. From Left to Right - Clover & Ais from Touchstarved - Andrew Minyard from the All For The Game trilogy - Asmodeus from Obey Me & Casper.

“The Best Deal You’re Gonna get at this Bar”

A gift illustration I did as a Christmas gift I did last year for my best friend of Leander from the Touchstarved Demo. I’m a huge fan of dating sims & visual novels and this demo was one of best ones I’ve played. Me and bestie played it together and I’m dying to play the full release when it comes out! She picked Leander (obviously lol) while I’m an Ais man myself. The art is honestly gorgeous and I wish I could emulate it better than I can.

See the goofy Christmas card version of this illustration under the cut

“Captive Angel”

Another bit of fanart - Asmodeus from Obey Me & Nightbringer. I only played the first Obey Me and didn’t get too far through the main storyline but Asmo really captured my heart. If I need a pretty character for a sketch I tend to use him lol. At this point I should just make him an oc since I haven’t been keeping up with the lore or games.

“Misc Sketches 1”

Some random character doodles I did recently. I was just playing with colours and trying to loosen up my process after a while without sketching.

“Mr. Glitch”

I realised I forgot to post a full version of my pfp mentioned on my last piece - so here he is!

This glitchy guy was a character I drew a lot of for my personal branding assignments at uni and kinda became a bit of a mascot for my art. Especially since I don’t really like posting my face outside of self-portrait works.

“Just a Little Bit Longer”

Another retouched older piece - this time a bit of vent art I did in my last trimester of my bachelor’s degree. I had just had a short film I was directing cancelled and was up to my neck in deadlines, assignments and artistic burnout so I need to let it all out a bit. Contrary to the vibe of this piece, I did have a lot of fun in my final year (despite its many, many setbacks) and was very much looking forward to graduating. But getting there did take too much out of me in the end.

Here’s to better working habits in the future!

“Vulnerability”

A retouch & re-upload of a Blue Period fanart piece I did in September 2023 before graduating art school.

This series is close to my heart. Watching the anime 3 years ago reignited my love for creating art & inspired me to go back to art school, and I regularly re-read the manga. I’ve never encountered a character I related to as an artist much as Yaguchi.

In honour of the live action movie coming out worldwide next month - Thank you Yamaguchi-sensei for creating such a wonderful series that captures what it means to be an artist so intimately!
