Saxophone Siphonophore's Art Compendium

Commissions Open!

So now that I’ve finished my bachelor’s degree, it’s about time I made my old bio obsolote.

A rock golem character I designed back in March as a commission for a client's TTRPG campaign. I didn't post it here in case a player from said campaign decided to check out my blog at the worst possible time, but I've been told this character has since shown up so it's free real estate, baby!

A character I designed for an art game, following the prompts "gold," "roses" and "scarf". I tried going for the vibe of mysterious love interest (who is secretly evil but has a change of heart near the end).

Coincidentally, I finished the artwork on March 14th, which is White Day in several countries (day where you reciprocate gifts you received on Valentine's). Anyway, here's some Valentine's edits I did on a slightly older version of the art that I don't have the patience to fix.

Once again managed to participated in another art telephone game. Thought it'd be fun to go for an isometric perspective, but then the characters looked too small so I added the videogame style dialogue portraits. Wish I'd had more time to work on the background, ended up having to rush the lighting especially.

Currently reworking a set of characters from a campaign that never took off into a standalone story idea. Design not 100% final, but here is the main character(s).

The original lore was that she was one person who got split in three by a misuse of her own power. While that works for a side character, for a group of protagonists that's just three people with the exact same backstroy and I don't like it. So this time around I'm envisioning them as a trio of magical girls who, through a strange set of circunstances, all got bound to the same Marketable Transformation Trinket™ and thus can only transform one at a time. That is, unless they but their differences aside and work together as the fearsome tricolor hero, Black Gamut. Pff, like that's ever gonna happen!

If it weren't apparent, her/their whole theme is the CMY color model and how paints mix together. And also that fusions are cool af. I'll talk more about her components (aka the actual main characters) eventually©, once I'm finished with their redesigns.

Gift exchange for @haru-no-hikaru of their keykid Rhune.

Absolutely had to take a shot at replicating Tetsuya Nomura's art style.

A discord server I'm in regularly hosts art telephone games (artist A makes a drawing and shows it to B, who then makes a drawing and shows it to C, who then etc) and I finally got a chance to take part in one.

Alright, @kittykichi, took a wee bit longer than expected, but I have finally finished my ARTFIGHT REVENGE for the attack you submitted... uh, a whole year ago? Well, you know what they say — better late than never.

[Part 1] [Part 2]

About 3 months later and I finally managed to finish the second part of my Destiny Trio fusion designs. A combination of life stuff getting in the way and having to restarting several times until I got a pose I was happy with. It do be like that sometimes.

As mountains are where the land and the sky touch I have thus nicknamed this fusion Yama. You may have noticed he’s got a bit of an odd expression on his face. There’s a reason for that… after the cut.

[Part 1] [Part 2]

I like drawing character fusions, but I haven’t gotten a chance to do it often. So as a bit of shameless self-ingulgence I decided to try my hand at that hexafusion meme that was somewhat popular some years ago, this time using the Destiny Islands trio from the Kingdom Hearts franchise. I chose their original KH1 desgins in particular because I personally prefer them over most of their other looks (with the exception of Riku. His DDD look is perfect).

The rest are currently a WIP, so for the time being allow me to introduce you to the fusion of Sora and Kairi, which I have nicknamed: Suihei (sky + ocean = horizon).

Some notes after the cut.
