Gotta be one of my fav scenes from the manga, the Arc part...it's when you see the utter trust they have for each other... *howls into the night* #vashwood #trigun

A scene from Trigun, where Vash escapes with an unconscious Wolfwood from the Arc. The are flying through the air, and Vash is gripping onto Wolfwood while part of his wings are out. We don't see Wolfwood's face, onl lots of bloodstains on his clothes. The ground is loosely hinted at beneath some clouds, and in the upper left corner the Arc is seen with some smoke coming out of it.

I bet they're thinking of a very funny thing Milly said (or maybe Brad pulled a funny face) #vashwood #trigun

Watercolour drawing of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun. They are wearing their outfits from the Ship 3 episode, the casual hoodies, and both are laughing. Vash has his exes closed, and Wolfwood is nudging him with his elbow and grinning.

Back from Hiro-Con! ♥ Talked with lots of sweet people who I had the chance to portray, met a fellow Tsubasa Chronicle fan and gushed over Kurofai, and met a fellow Trigun artist, the lovely and talented @0815bliss.bsky.social (got myself an awesome Vash glitter sticker from them heehehe)

More art practice: doing a redraw of a concept art piece for The Lion King by Mel Shaw. His one is obviously the second piece :D Well, it was a first step into getting on a better foot with pastel crayons I guess. Next time I'll have to use a much lesser grained paper though.

More watercolour exercises with my prob fav outfit of Vash from #Trigun Maximum.

Watercolour drawing of Vash from Trigun Maximum from the legs up. He is pointing a gun at the viewer, in an all black coat with pruple fire-thingy rising from his shoulders. His expression is stern and we do not see his mouth.

Had a great time at Connichi last weekend! 😊 There were so many cool cosplayers, I wanted to photograph so many but didn't dare ask everyone ahaha...and there were also lots of cute kid cosplayers! I imagine it must be so cool going to a con as a kid with your own cosplay :D

More ocs from my new comic idea. You might be able to tell I took some inspiration from rereading the first W.I.T.C.H. chapters...

Watercolor drawing of a young girl with short black hair, supposedly behind some kind of membrane structure with glass panels. Behind her it gets dark, and she looks rather distressed, one hand put up against the glass.

Watercolor drawing of two children playing and laughing in the snow. On the left is a reindeer-like looking boy, on the right a young girl with short black hair, holding up her arms to catch some snow.

I'm slowly getting better with watercolour and light atmosphere...getting there! Also this is a new OC named Ethel. She's from a relatively new comic idea that I'm still working out the story and bits for, and want to get more aquainted with the characters.

Drawing of an own character, a young woman with blond short hair. She is wairing some robe-like garment, and it looks like blank fangs of some sort are trying to grab her from below, while she looks down in shock and tries to get out of its grip. The scene is put in yellow light from below with aquarel.

I made myself laugh when I thought of this lately so I had to draw it.

Three panel comic, with the headline: "Help I've been Isekaid' into my neighbor's life".
Panel 1: A textbox above says "It began on a normal day, when...". We see the shadow of a figure being headlighted by an approaching car. Tires are screeeing, someone shouts "Outta the way!"

Panel 2: Close up of a sleepy girl awakening in sunrays while birds cheep. She mumbles "...what..."

Panel 3: Stickfigure drawing of two houses next to each other. In the left one a stickfigure says "Huh?" and above the right house is an arrow pointing at it, saying "my house".

More drawing practice with watercolour and polychromos with one of the many cool scenes from the #Trigun Manga: Ark Prison Break!

A coloured scene from the Trigun Manga, where Wolfwood breaks out Vash from his prison on the ark. We see from Vash's point of view beneath the crate in the bottom. Vash's face is lit up with a yellow light, and behind the yellow-green-lit bars we see Wolfwood. Legato is manipulating his body so that he points at himself with his gun, looking a bit shocked. Behind Wolfwood in a purple light we see part of Legato.

More traditional art practice with my OC. I'm slowly building up my confidence in trad art again 💪

Watercolour and pencil drawing of my OC, a young blond woman with shortish blond hair, who's in a fantasy-like winter outfit, puffing out some air behind her scarf-thing. Her right hand rests on the end of her sword at her hip. The shadows are in a blue light.

Watercolour drawing of my OC Kea (young blond woman with rather short hair) as she's sitting down and resting her head on her knees. She's looking down at a piece of paper as she's about to write down some notes on it.

Deku scribble from my sketchbook, with aquarelle and polychromo. I like that there's so much happening with his costume, that's fun to draw! (but don't look to close if I got it right, I probably didn't) #MHA

Aquarelle and pencil drawing of Deku from My Hero Academia, sitting like a frog and looking to the left. His red cheeks make a colourful contrast to his green hair.

Watercolour drawing of Fay D. Flourite from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. He is standing in his robes at the edge of a basin, looking slightly unnerved down into the water, that lights him in a yellowish light from below, while thes rest is in blue shadows.

Some #Mairuma doodles! I'm back from vacation, and I scribbled these in the train earlier.

Scribbly drawing of Kirio, sitting in some kind of suit, head in his hands and looking a bit dreamily slightly down.

More Mairuma doodles of Opera and Balam-Sensei, both looking slightly grim, and Gyari and Kuroma looking at each other and grinning while in an embrace.

Two portraits of the Drink & Draw at #ComicsalonErlangen from a few weeks prior. I used this chance to test out my new ink brush pen and decided that I like it very much 👍 Also holy cow there were so many super talented artists there, the stuff they showed us...hoo boy.

Scribbly brush pen portrait of a woman from the side, who is drawing in her sketchbook. There is a text next to her that reads "An Artist!"

A portrait of a man, who sat in front of my, working in his sketchbook and head down. In front of him a some drawing tools like watercolors sat on the table.

Some doodles from the Drink & Draw some friends and I went at #comicsalonerlangen a few weeks prior. Felt a bit like back in college, us drawing each other.

A scene drawn with a black brush pen of people sitting in front of a cafe, and everybody is concentrated on their sketchbook and drawing.

A chest-up portrait of a man holding a sketchbook and looking at other people. Next to him are the words "He drew EVERYBODY" in german.
