Finished this vgen "draw what I feel like" sketch commission a few days ago! Decided to draw my current dnd character Bang Flash w/mech + homunculus. Crazy how much an artificer gets when they hit level 2... Hope you enjoy seeing the process! #ericlvargas #dndcharacter #vgencomm #timelapse #mecha

Some of the mecha art I've done in the last few years. Got some more on the backburner atm. Would like to get more commissions drawing mecha if possible, mecha anime got me into drawing back in the day. #ericlvargas #mecha #mechadesign #digitalart #sketch

Some of the pages for my comic "Pirates of the Starry Seas", had to set it aside for a little bit while I get through my current queue. Hope for your continued support and you're still looking forward to this project finally reaching completion!🙇 #ericlvargas #piratesofthestarryseas #indiecomics

Fanart I did an age ago now, one of those draw this many from anime you liked or something ( don't remember all that clearly), think it was from before CSP had a timelapse function so this was recorded from a stream I did if I remember right. #timelapse #flcl #dirtypair #bakemonogatari #videogirlai

Timelapse for my Armored Core 6 fanart. Really enjoyed that game despite the initial hurdles, eventually got good enough to get all the endings at least. May have to do another run... #ericlvargas #fanart #armoredcore6 #621 #mecha

Stop fucking using genAI. Not even for a joke, not even for that oh so cutting political satire. Every time you use it, you are actively taking food out of our mouths. You are using the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it.

Original work that was the birth of the idea for "Pirates of the Starry Seas". This timelapse shows me cleaning up the scanned in pen sketch I made while I had downtime between inspecting circuit boards a few years back. #ericlvargas #timelapse #piratesofthestarryseas #phioraogando #spacepirate

Some Hololive fanart I did a bit ago of Houshou Marine senchou and Usada Pekora. Still think it's a missed opportunity for Marine-senchou to not have a space pirate outfit. #ericlvargas #houshoumarine #usadapekora #hololive #fanart

Timelapse for a new sticker design that I'll be selling at the Pacific Nerdwest at the end of the month. Wanted to do a new one featuring Phiora Ogando the main character of my, in progress, space pirate comic "Pirates of the Starry Seas". Hope you enjoy seeing the process!

Wanna someday reuse and revisit this mech design for something even just as another one off illustration. #ericlvargas #digitalart #mecha #timelapse

Eric L Vargas (Commissions Open) @ericlvargas7.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

So out of curiousity, wanted to see what you all would like to see more of? More Fantasy? More Boom Witch? More mecha/scifi stuff? More "Pirates of the Starry Seas" stuff? More fanart? More Traveling Echoes? #ericlvargas #whatwouldyouliketosee #boomwitch #piratesofthestarryseas #Traveling_Echoes

Did this one in anticipation of the previous Norwescon. Put a lot of work into this one, probably gonna reuse the powered armor design in Pirates of the Starry Seas at some point if I ever past volume 1😅 #ericlvargas #poweredarmor #mecha #spaceshipinterior #hullbreach

Made a new logo for the Pacific Nerdwest! Almost used my red wet cat energy self portrait but a friend said I should make a more inviting image so used a photo I took a month or so ago as reference and did this green one. Hope it comes off friendlier at least🤞 #ericlvargas #selfportrait #logodesign

One of the new sticker designs I'll be bringing to the Pacific Nerdwest next month, please come and say hi if you're going! The other new design is gonna feature Phiora Ogando, from my "Pirates of the Starry Seas" comic, aura-farming. #ericlvargas #boomwitch #stickerdesign #witch #pacificnerdwest
