#talimyn

I decided to break down the massive playlist that inspired me to write DIVE into a separate playlist for each arc. This is the first of five (yes there’s going to be five arcs to the story total, three of them are the main story and the other two will be focusing on different characters than either Robina - Talimyn - and Isontaro).

I think there’s more I could definitely add to this playlist (and I probably will over time) but it’s quite the encompassment of my personal music tastes. I think the first playlist is going to be the more varied of them all because the story kind of grew up with me so it’s something that I’ve been chewing on for years. Honestly there was a point I didn’t think I’d ever finish the first arc, it took me a really long time to decide how I wanted it to end.

Either way, I’m hoping someone gets inspired as much as I did by the fantastic artists that helped set that creative fire in me. They all have my thanks along with other creators for the other media that’s helped shape my imagination.

I’ll probably be posting up the first handful of chapters over at @pocketraptordraws for anyone who cares to read it. I will be eventually drawing out the story as a comic, I’m okay at writing but it’s not my strong suit.

Since I didn’t do a pinup for Easter I decided to do up one of Isontaro and one of Robina anyways. I was not aware that the “reverse bunny suit” was a thing so that’s what inspired this. I didn’t bother adding ears to either, it would be too busy looking. I also used the colour scheme of their canon outfits for these.

I wanted to do up Taifyuusian and her original colour scheme versus her with the element of fire (the second photo). I’m not going to say too much about her since it’ll be major spoilers for the first arc. I revamped her design slightly from what I originally had made but I really love how it turned out.

I decided to do up a sort of 'sequel' picture to the one I did up earlier with Isontaro and Itoku considering Robina (right) and Sirah (left) are their wives. Who doesn't love some spicy ladies for 'Palentine's Day'?

Merry Christmas everyone!

For this years theme I decided to go with a more 1920's cartoon style for my holiday piece. It was actually something that my SO suggested. I really love how it turned out, both Robina and Isontaro look great!

I might do some else like this in the future, we'll see. It's been a nice change of pace to do up a different style.
