Happy birthday @fiercethebandit.bsky.social, hope you're having a great day! It's a couple of years old now, but I'm still pleased with how this turned out.

Was digging through my archived art trades over the years, simpler times. It's a good thing I did, since a few of these are now closed/purged accounts. Bernadetta - by YouthfulCyclops (DA / Tumblr) Riolu - by Girpuppy (DA) Spike - by @zabelrockdesign.bsky.social Yukari - by KingdomKeyX (DA)

Portrait of Bernadetta von Varley, from Fire Emblem: Three Houses - fanart by YouthfulCyclops.

I did a bunny-themed collage last year. I included Cerise from the indie game 'Vividlope', maybe give her a shot?

Blue Archive is probably better known. In any case, here's a work-in-progress illustration of Eimi. Wanted to go for a more natural pose this time.

A creative with energy to spare, only to crash soon after and lose interest. An all too familiar feeling. #デスティニーチャイルド #DESTINYCHILD #digitalart #fanart

While I get my ass in gear, here's a collage I completed recently. It features various characters from anime I've watched over the last 5 years! I'd already watched Sgt Frog and Soul Eater before, but they get special privilege I guess. #digitalart #fanart

Gray Fullbuster from Fairy Tail. Painted this recently for a friend's birthday. He's a bit of a Gray fan, of the shirtless persuasion! Also, I doodled those other team Natsu schmucks: Lucy Heartfilia, Natsu Dragneel, Happy and Erza Scarlet. #fairytail #fanart

Gray Fullbuster with an icy aura emanating from his left. Gray scratches his head casually as his white shirt and black undershirt are blown away into the background.

Much older piece here, but one of my (many) favourite Pokémon: Title: 'Whimsical Wind Tumbling' Subject: Whimsicott Published: 10th August 2020 #pokemon #pokemonfanart #fanart #art #digitalart

Whimsicott is playing in the wind current of an electric fan.

In my opinion, they fumbled the bag with the paid stuff (Mega Man aside), so I was looking forward to these updates. Crossing my fingers for Arle from Puyo Puyo.

I've enjoyed Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, but with that being understood. Nights leaked at launch, Ai Ai is predictable and Tangle and Whisper? Alright, more waiting for me for the 'and Sega' bit to fill out the roster for real.

It was strange that a bunch of games in that State of Play were using english VO, only for BlazBlue Entropy Effect X to show up and... yeah, of course not.

Daniel DentedBrain @dentedbrain.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

This is where I started to do a bit more with shadows: Title: Basking with the Bulb Subject: Ivysaur Published: 7th September 2023 #pokemon #pokemonfanart #art #fanart

Ivysaur is napping in the sun; the horizon has moved since, so Ivysaur is now partially covered by shade. Ivysaur gradually opens one eye as it awakes.

Daniel DentedBrain @dentedbrain.bsky.social · 09/11/2025

People really responded to this one on DA, the backdrop is a bit cobbled together. Title: Channel Surfing Subject: Mimikyu Published: 18th March 2023 #pokemon #pokemonfanart #art #fanart

Mimikyu is in a lounging position on a sofa alone. There's a TV remote and a partially eaten malasada/doughnut next to it. The room is dark, but Mimikyu is lit up by a lone light source, a television off-frame.

Think I'll share some of my older works while I work on some new stuff. Where this all began, Pokémon stuff! Not exactly Legends ZA stuff, but some pieces that I'm proud of. Title: 'Reinforced Nature' Subject: Bastiodon Published: 10th March 2023 #pokemon #pokemonfanart #fanart #art

Let's try this again. No, in actuality, Pepper is not from the American sports apparel line, Nike. She is from NIKKE: Goddess of Victory. #NIKKE I blame my keyboard for the typo!

Daniel DentedBrain @dentedbrain.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Princess Robot Bubblegum with reloaded... ballistics? Thanks, Leon. So apparently, PRB's choice of armament is a reference to Mazinger Z, a manga series by Go Nagai. More specifically, the robot, Aphrodite. So in retrospect, the Akibot 996 in 'Sgt Frog' is also influenced by Mazinger.

Princess Robot Bubblegum - Grand Theft Auto V / Online
