Miss Tira (and that pinup meme)
A little test in simplicity, with that pinup picture/meme that got around last month.I wanted to try making a picture with little to no shading, thicker and more "sketchy" lines... And I kinda like this ! I may stick with that for a while, see what I can do with it.Cheers ! ✌️
A quiet morning
Well, someone had a good night !Just wanted to draw her in a chill and casual setting... It was a relaxing piece to work on. I initially wanted to try rendering it as little as possible but I chickened out and decided to do as I usually do. Hopefully in 2025 I'll be a bit more bold and daring...So yeah, this will be my last piece for 2024. I hope that through all the highs and all the lows your year was at least OK, and that you're in a good place for the holidays. I wish you all the best for the year to come, keep love in your heart at...
Rouge Carrera
A bit overdue on here (some of you have already seen it on Twitter and Bluesky) but here is the Rouge pic I did a few weeks ago.(I have another Miss Tira drawing coming very soon, so stay tuned !)
Miss Tira (NSFW)
Hey everyone, my apologies for not posting much lately. Here is the drawing I teased previously, that almost got me quitting everything for good. And I need to vent a little about it here, because it hasn't been fun. At all.This one was a bit of an experiment (kind of based on what I already tried with my Karlach x Shadowheart picture) except this time I could not make sense of the lighting and the rendering. Nothing clicked and that scared me, I felt like I forgot everything about art, color theory... I spent a lot of time trying to salvag...
Some Miss Tira, for good fortune
Hey everyone, how is it going ?Sorry I'm not more active lately, I've been sitting on a few sketches I wanted to finish (all involving Miss Tira for now) so here is one ! That one was an experiment, for a slightly smoother and simpler style but I struggled more than I thought I would, and the result lacks a bit of "punch" I believe... So I'm getting back to another style of rendering, (more cel-shady and stuff, kinda like the Karlach one) that I think is more promising for now. We'll see how it turns out in the end but ...
A flicker in the moonlight (Karlach X Shadowheart)
This one was long overdue and I'm really sorry. I had the sketch ready for a few months, but couldn't find time to finish it until recently. I'll need to think of simpler ways to render my art if I want to resume things properly...
Starting a new chapter
Hi everyone,Grand Sagehere.It has been a while but I hope you are all doing well.My deepest apologies for the lack of news these past 6 months (it's crazy how time flies) I've read all your comments and messages while I was "away" and it was so heart-warming, I didn't know what I'd say when coming back... but I guess a sincere thank youwould be a good start.Now, my new job and -dare I say- “new life” have been pretty challenging regarding my time management. So forgive the dry tone of this post, but there are a lot o...
End of a Chapter : Incoming Hiatus & Permanent Changes
This is going to be a long post so I will put a little summary right at the top :I am moving again because I found a full-time job in another country. Therefore, I will have to pause Art for an undefined amount of time.Now, this may come "out of the blue" for most of you so if you'd like to know the reasons behind this and how it's going to affect my Art, here is the full story."Why the sudden change ? What's wrong ?"My financial situation has never been ideal. I've been a freelance designer and artist for a few ...
Miss Tira (2023 Design update)
Alright, hum... Before I take the time to write an entire "News" post about a sudden turn my life took, I thought I'd share with you a little something I mostly drew for myself.I know I only draw Miss Tira once a year or so, but I really love her and want to keep her around. Also, I've been meaning to adjust her design a bit for a while (the first sketch for this redesign is almost one year old now, trying to actually make sense of her hair) but I also felt like I never took the time to introduce her properly. So to make up for ...
Nurse Ada Wong
"You are visited by a nurse in the middle of night. You see her locking the door behind her and get closer to you. In the dim light of the moon you spot a peculiar reflection, of a shape you know too well; a gun. In a swift you manage to disarm her, handcuff and pin her down. As you're about to ask what her true motivations are, she looks at you, expectantly. She clearly noticed yours."Don't mind me, just imagining some kinky RP between Leon and Ada, like a normal human being.-Also, did I make an entire typeface just to fit with...
Yoruichi's Training (Censored & Uncensored)
Sorry this took a bit longer than usual to come, but I had a lot of things on my plate this month... Hopefully, September should be a bit quieter for me, so here is to hoping I can draw more now !Anyway, I'm quite liking the way this one ended up looking (from the pose, the rendering and the overall ambience, I'm feeling pretty good about it as a whole) so I hope you'll like it too !
Kolin at the beach (Commission)
This right here is the last commission I had on my queue ! (The client asked to remain anonymous.)I wonder if for some people I'll end up being "The artist who draws characters doing The Pose on the beach", because I'm getting oddly comfortable with that ! (It was still a really fun piece though, so I'm not complaining...)Also; I will be travelling a bit during the next two weeks as a little vacation, so things will be kind of slow. I will still be able to work a bit in preparation for the Yoruichi piece, but don't expec...
Bad in the best way (C.Viper)
Soooo... this one was a doozie. For two major reasons, and if you're interested in knowing them, here's me getting into it :Reason A:You might notice that there is far less "process steps" to show for this drawing, and that would be for the simple reason that I tried an entirely new process this time.You see; as long as I've drawn digitally, I've always used lines to define contours and shapes, and eventually the line art ended up becoming my favorite part of the process. But I also always had in mind to try a "linel...
Lil Diamond's bath (OC Commission)
Commission done for @AzureAbe !
Shantae's Beach Mode
I had a flashback while working on this drawing; of a time when Facebook advertised a new feature allowing you to use "depth maps" to add to your photos, and that would make them instantly look 3D... So I felt like giving it a try !To avoid giving this to some AI/data laundering machine, I used Depthy for this little ""animation"" and... While I enjoy tinkering every once in a while, making a working depth map for this was oddly time consuming, and the result is not as convincing as I remembered it to be... I'll prob...
Camilla & Olivia Bunny Girls (FE Commissions)
Finally got to the Extra queue from my commission backlog ! And it was funny to see two different people asking for pretty similar ideas, Fire Emblem girls in bunny outfits... How could I say no ?And since none of them asked for any specific background, I suggested I make one background for both. And they both agreed so, here it is ! Hope you'll like them !
Urbosa's Bedroom (A Major Test of Stamina)
Oooooh boy, that one was a challenge, albeit a lovely one ! Like Morrigan, Urbosa is one of those characters I have drawn at so many different points in my life that putting them all together, you'd think different artists drew them... But I think it also shows that despite feeling dissatisfied with my stuff every once in a while, I am still getting better !(I was also going to comment that I was proud of the way I rendered Link's butt here, but then my GF told me I had the same butt and... Yeah~ double win for those double cheeks !)
Stocking's little taste of summer
Phew, that one was... challenging. I'm not sure why, but I had to re-do the rendering three times before I got to something I kind of liked. I'll admit I am really forcing myself to upload this now, because I have spent too much time on it... But it is time to let it go !
Callista (OC Commission)
Aaaand one Flat color commission for Pliskin (with some bootylicious alt, to spice it up !)
Leanaelle and Alea (OC Commission)
Just a lovey-dovey commission for Lamaracha !
Zahra (Commission)
An amazing commission, with an amazing character, for the amazing Chuplaz !BE AMAZED
Colette being a lazy gremlin (Commission)
Do you think she's more of a "honk-schoo" snorer, or a "honk-mimimi" ?I'll bet on "honk-mimimi".Another amazing commission for Colettuce !
EDI - Timelapse
Here's a little time-lapse from my last drawing, I managed to save the whole thing so I quickly edited it and thought I could share it with everyone here !
"Shepard, you're staring..."
The A.I. we all wanted, but not the one we got, because Life is unfair...Anyway, that was really fun to draw and once I found my "way" of rendering the chrome for the different volumes, it was actually pretty easy and satisfying.I may draw some more chromed ladies in the future, once I finish my commission batch... We'll see !
A bunch of OCs
This is a bunch of original characters I got to draw recently, and thought I could share them here. The first two are for mutuals on Twitter, and the last two orc girls belong to TheMuteCynic !
Commissions are back !
I'll be sharing this on Twitter too a little later today, but here is the form to fill if you're interested : https://forms.gle/RLSTimdhcs7TiXtv6There will be about 5 slots available and I'll let a few days pass before filling them which means it won't be "First come first served". So feel free to take a moment to think about your prompt !
Love is Magic ! (NSFW)
And here is the slightly spicier version !Now, off to update my commission chart...
Love is Magic ! (SFW)
Corny I know, but I wanted something for Valentine's Day and also draw some bunny girl.... I thought this was a good time to do just that. (This is the year of the bunny after all, and I looove bunny girls. I might do a few more this year...)The NSFW alt. version is on its way, it won't be an entirely new pose like the previous drawings because I'd like to open commissions soon, and I can't spend too much time on the same project if I ever want to actually open them...But yeah, stay tuned !
Tae Takemi cosplaying as Ankha (NSFW)
Alright so here is some more NSFW !(I figured I should probably separate the NSFW from the SFW in my posts so it easier to navigate to what you want with the tags, but they will still be included in the same set later on.)It's interesting how much I feel like I'm progressing on pieces like these, NSFW really feels like the right thing to do at the moment as it helps me focus on more specific parts of the body (wether it is about breasts, ass, feet, even the penis, etc.) rather than have a pose showing everything at the same time... Defi...
Tae Takemi cosplaying as Ankha (SFW)
Welp, since Ankha and Tae came to a tie, I got the idea to draw Tae cosplaying as Ankha for her favorite little guinea pig. I thought their designs and personalities were some sort of "compatible" already so... I hope you'll like it ! (NSFW version in another post.)
