failure is an option

That aside, I've been handed over the BlackJack project [a long-standing 'campaign' made in high school between my cousin 'Dia', childhood friend 'Evan', and myself] and have done a lot of character concepts to expand on its universe and 'restart' what we were planning to do before life took over. Obviously it has a thematic of casinos, but it's also supposed to be very 'doctor monroe' in tone.

So here they are by group, ya [at least the half of the cast that I now own] LONG POST AHEAD??

Made something less bright for my monitor background because I now live like contact with sunlight will end my existence. Even artificial sunlight.

So I drew one of my more prominent characters from my original story that is in eternal stasis since like 2004. Learned lycanthropic vampires actually do exist in folklores and I’m not just being confused that I dreamed it up on cough syrup fever dreams.

oops forgot to do things for months again.

Have a [newish] character that's a Borzoi that I need to draw more often jnsdfkf He's one of three characters in a set but the only one with a reference. The others are Stolas and Furfur. Did I mention I used to be a really big demon fanatic? hm.

Backlog images for AF and commission examples.

Dragon is Enigma, a redesign of a few really old dragons I used to use. Fursonas- my own and a friend’s. Mine is Genderfluid and theirs is neutral. Rainbow lass is a mascot I use on AF as a digital muse Synthwave Hyena demon is a repurposed and redesigned version of my first fursona.

Bottom are three major characters for the collaborative Bats Outta Hell project- Alvara, Itoru, and Otana. Redesigns of course. The idea is to make a ‘community RP story’ out of it.

idk if I posted them, but my main ‘sona has undergone a few changes and had a few works completed. Currently working on a full reference sheet but so far this is what I’ve got of them.

They’re half cat-sith, half volpertinger, effectively being a cabbit [though with inverted features of rabbit-head and cat tail]; I wanted something that combined my family heritage of German and Scottish, so ??? Their horns and claws are hardened starlight, and can be changed in size and shape at will, while their eyes, markings, and inner workings are of the same idea, but less... hard. Wings are an optional feature because I despise drawing wings, but their tail and ears have a cosmic view to them since idk they’re not supposed to actually be there.

They’re also very genderfluid but often appear masculine with a preference for androgyny, but can be drawn either way.

idk man when I’m not doomscrolling through twitter hell and spiraling into existential dread for the future, I’m spiraling into feral rage in FFXIV. Not that I’m new to the game but I did take a four year hiatus and returned to a vastly different game where I literally made a new alt so I could go through the story with all the changes.

My main is the Viera, the alt is the Miqote, known as ‘Baal’ Vanitas and Freyja Lux with interconnected stories but I don’t feel like being too wordy. Bla bla bla voidsent bla bla bla fabricated bodies something something starcrossed lovers yadda yadda smut. Except I’m not allowed to post the smut.

I refuse to believe there is a more attractive male viera than the accidental walking dumpster fire I created. He’s also a healer main that went Dark Knight while the tiny catgirl is a fucking paladin.

It’s been a crappy year, but I drew a few things.

The only contribution I was able to complete for AF’22, and a handful of recently finished commissions for folks on FA.

Wow it’s been a while. Anyways here’s some uhh old headshots I finished literally years later because I was paid to. 

Redrew my uh Sona Emblem[?]

First [left] isn’t even all that old but I guess I wanted to see if I could still do better. idk.

My old server has been recreated, but it’s still in development and will hopefully grow with new members to give their input and shape the community!

It’s a generally free and open space, LGBT+ friendly and politic free, and open to pretty much anything from gaming to artwork, to especially shitposting memes 24/7. Artists and non-artists are welcome, all fandoms present even if you like hot garbage [I know I do], and hopefully we can think of more to add for a more inclusive environment!

Guess who redid their trainer designs?

Really it was easier to just sketch for 36 hours straight than try inking anything while I was exhausted, so have this humble bundle. There’s more I was doing, but they aren’t mine. 

ANYWAYS, nearly everyone got to have a slight overhaul with an attempt to keep their trainer class in mind; besides, it was fun to see the difference in style and improvements from the start of SwSh.

Top Row: Keiko, Kain, Karlos, Kaci, Kati [Kiza], Kazana [Kazzi], Kaylee, and Yako  Second Row: Key, Kameron, Karli, Karmine, Kave, Kaleb, Katrissa [Kat] Bottom Row: Krystopher [Kry], Kalyssa [Kallie], Kara, Kasper Angelica [Ana], Benjamin [Ben], Anthony [Andy]

Kry and Key are both originally MD characters [Persian and Delcatty]

Yako is a Zoroark in disguise because I guess Zoros are fucking illegal these days. He intentionally resembles Karlos.

Kara is from Shadows of Almia and used to be named ‘Ice’

Kasper is from Pokken Tournament [I main Chandelure and Darkrai]

Ana, Ben, and Andy were passed on to me from old friends who no longer play

Most of them now are themed after a primary pokemon :D

Some lasses I haven’t been able to draw for a while; some Sistermon from the same environment as my others. Except Ciel, she isn’t mine. They are, however, all created from a Hacker’s Memory run [with my pretending very hard that my Ciel was a Noir].

Kuma [Ciel] is the ‘copycat’ of Noir; practically twins, without being related.  Caterina [Noir] is a demon in nun’s clothing; she used to be a Dracmon. Ella [Blanc] is the innocent little bite machine; former Tokomon.

Cat and Ella are also named Skitters and Bitters after my original Tsumemon and Tokomon and I was never assed enough to give them proper names in the game, so lmao? Either way they’re Spicy, Extra Spicy, and Extra Sweet. Now we need a Sistermon like... idk, Vert. Terre? Ciel is sky, so...???? Give that bitch a fox. Bitches love foxes. Or dog. Or-

Down to a handful left to complete, figured I’d have these up again for a bit. Of course, I do more than depicted, they’re just my most recent examples of work. 

A note however is my progress is very slow and limited because of health complications- I can’t work for more than short bursts at a time, so a quick turnaround isn’t as easy as it used to be. Regardless, I’ll try to finish as quickly as I can, limitations providing.

Guess who remade some fucking sonas? .D.

Whisper is a fusion of standard and Hisuian zoroark and is a dark/ghost type because idk man new zoro looks like a leper. The wild af hair is great, though.

And ofc I changed my main thing into a Cat-Sith with influence from Nekomata, Carbuncle, and Cabbit; largely to better represent me. I make good choices.
