"How do you self-reflect without a reflection?"

Digital art poster of Night Shift 1999, a 1 bit visual novel set in Sydney during the turn of the millennium. At the center is the silhouette of Isra, a protagonist and a vampire doctor. She looks like a crack in the mirror, broken into 5 pieces. To the left - Isaac, human doctor looking over his shoulder with a coffee cup in hand. To the right - Aleks, a werewolf in a leather jacket decorated with fangs, smiling a sharp-tooth grin, her eyes obscured by shadow. Bottom left - mermaid Soonee grooming her hair and smiling at you. Bottom right - ghost girl Alma wrapped in a floating silk scarf. To the top - an outline of Sydney under the night sky.

Magical girl Katya having one of those days where you cry but do your job anyway #sketch #pixiedreamgirls #vn #mahoushoujo

Magical fae girl Katya in a dress inspired by Marina and the Diamonds singer. She is performing a honing ritual on a key.

She’s wearing striped stockings inspired by W.I.T.C.H. and has glittering wings inspired by Winx Club and Persona / Shin Megami Tensei Pixie. She has telepathic antennae and a pentagram symbol on her chest.

this pencil sketching thing is so fun (and like twice as difficult as digital) #sketchbook #pixiedreamgirls #vn #art #ukrart

Yaryna in Amy Lee inspired outfit (Evanescence singer). A failed Honing attempt, she sprinkled the necklace but it fell to the ground.

Quick pencil sketch. Still trying to get a hang of proportions.

A sketch of a magical girl/ fae with fairy wings, striped pantyhose, army boots and a pentagram medallion.

From “Pixie Dreamgirls” story inspired by Winx Club, W.I.T.C.H. and The Craft - a mahou shoujo urban fantasy where a group of girls discover they have fae blood that allows them them to invade the dreams of their classmates and confront their nightmares.

in an attempt to escape the screens I'm getting into pencil sketching #sketchbook #pixiedreamgirls #vn

A sketch of a fae from the back. She's probably thinking about smoking.

Sketch of a fae underwater. The idea was "what if a magical girl but underwater and sexy". Outfit inspired by burlesque.
Don't you love it when women.

Sketch of a shocked fae. She probably made a mistake of scrolling through the news feed.

Sketch of Sonya the fae proposing a pinkie promise. She's wearing an outfit inspired by W.I.T.C.H. comic. Magical girls stuff. Practicing foreshortening. This one's pretty bad lmao.

They say if you play jazz in one of the parks of Sydney, you might glimpse a sad ghost girl dancing #artfight, attack on @gcoxmm.bsky.social.

A sketch of ghost girl Alma from 1bit visual novel Nightshift 1999.
She is dressed in an outfit from 1920s. She’s wearing an alternative outfit to her skin in the game - a sparkly dress from roaring twenties, beads and stockings. She has her classic feathers in hair and transparent shawl. She’s dancing jazz, even though her facial expression is kinda sad. You can glimpse a skeleton underneath her skin.

this is how I imagine the awesome panel from the opening of “The Summer Hikaru Died” would look in color #art #doodle #sketch #manga

The copy drawing of the panel from The Summer Hikaru Died, Chapter 1, Volume 1 by Mokumokuren. Line-work and color done in procreate. I tried to recreate it as close as possible to the manga drawing, cause I like it much more than the anime composition of this shot.

The background is a solid yellow color. Hikaru is facing the camera and his face is dissolving into multi-colored mass - blue, pink and purple hues intermixed.

It’s a shame that Netflix anime didn’t have the budget or time to truly go ham on the colors of the mysterious entity that Hikaru is supposed to be.

Cleaned up sketch of Kat, the green pixie. Got really inspired by Freiren anime art style (again). #art #oc #sketch #ManicPixieDreamgirls #visualnovel

A procreate sketch of a magical girl with long flowing hair blown in the wind. The style is inspired by Freiren anime, Winx and Madoka Magica. The fae girl is wall-eyed (exotropia). Her hair is made in an up-do beauty queen style and she wears large hoops for earrings with a pentagram symbol that represents her team - five magical girs that were all broken up one by one by tragedies, arguments and misunderstandings. Her fairy wings are lowered and not visible in the shot. Her hair, dress and eyes are green like envy.

I had a dream last night that a very cute and confident girl, kinda like one of them manic pixie dreamgirls, showed up and changed my life but the weird thing is, at the end of the dream, i was the cute and confident girl helping a cute and not-confident girl. Truly the meaning is inscrutable.
