7 years ago, I had to repeat the 8th Grade because my previous school hadn't taught me Tagalog or Araling Panlipunan (Filipino Social Studies), but I wouldn't have it any other way. AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEH, and I hope to see you again soon! 🎂💙

This drawing depicts my comrade Faye in her favourite outfit, which consists of a lot of cute chains and a goth-like cross necklace, a red-and-black striped sweater with a skirt, and his belt with silver bullets and other rings! And yes, that's the genderfluid flag in their Happy Birthday message!

The guns in this drawing are inspired by the Remington Model 51 and the Beretta PM12-S2, two underrated designs long since forgotten or overshadowed by simpler or more modern counterparts, such as the Colt M1911 and the Beretta PMX. It's all pretty neat, and I loved sharing this!

With the full story of the Vortex Operations still in progress, I figured that I'd introduce one of many important characters from the original script: Agent Angel! There's not a whole lot that most people know about her, but what I can say is this—she is anything BUT complacent.

This drawing was made possible thanks to Picrew, delphi.tools, IbisPaint X, MS Office Picture Manager, and the disgust I have against A.I. generated "art" being considered as the new normal! Also, in case you're wondering, the background is the same one used in Simon Sander's memoirs, all sourced from sketchyjawns, which could be found on abandonedcentral.com. The real question now is: what's she doing in this abandoned hospital where Clyde was used as bait?

In case you haven't read Tales Before Founding, this is your chance to do so! It's currently free to view on Wattpad for y'all to enjoy anytime. 🕵🏼 DON'T SCROLL DOWN UNLESS YOU'RE READY TO SEE THE WHOLESOME DRAWING!

This drawing is here to provide viewers a placeholder to not spoil themselves for not seeing Tales Before Founding just yet, and if you're reading this, please check it out at Wattpad! Despite the chapter count, it's genuinely a short story, or at the very least, to the best of my abilities LMAO

"With the new year coming in 4 months, we want to end off this collection with a bang! And what's better than just one launcher? Two of them, and it'll do wonders for the crowd, that's for sure!" - Arkingham Family Ltd. Co. (2026)

The fictional gun design on top is based on the ARWEN 37 ACE Pistol, while the design below is based on the Barrett SRSS. The first design is a simplified, compact anti-riot launcher, and the second design is a spiritual successor to the XM25 CDTE, and yes, it's designed to fire 30mm grenades!

This is a collage I made of me and my partner with the drawings we've made from our respective accounts! This may be a simple gesture for you guys, but believe me, this has so much sentimental value for both of us. And besides, they are so adorable, and I look pretty clean with my various looks!

"There’s an old saying that power grows out of the barrel of a gun. But power isn’t simply about whether you have it—it’s about how you use it. And when you’re carrying an anti-materiel rifle or an anti-riot launcher, that responsibility is yours to uphold."

The fictional gun design on top is based on the Barrett M99, while the design below is based on the ARWEN 37. The main changes in the single-shot, anti-materiel rifle are that it has more Picatinny rails on the handguard, while the anti-riot grenade launcher is inspired by the RE1 Remake design!

"This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel." - Horace Walpole, December 31, 1769 Heh, 69—nice.

This lovely fan art of PuppetMaster is by y-bo on TikTok! And just like the original drawing, they could be seen wearing purple gloves, a two-piece black suit, and that annoying poker mask he loves to wear. Can't say they don't look good without it; the fit does go hard for an anarchist!

"Are you feeling lucky today, punk? Well if not, we can do more than break a leg, because the Big Irons are back in stock, and we've got plenty of magnum loads to share! Just remember, if you're in trouble, these will help solve it." - Arkingham Family Ltd. Co. (2026)

The fictional gun design on top is based on the Smith & Wesson Model 460XVR, while the design below is based on the AMT Automag V. While the design on top is virtually the same, the design below is a "modern" variant featuring Picatinny Rails and a threaded barrel for a suppressor or muzzle brake.

Ten years ago, I started writing and creating stories because I wanted me and my childhood buddies to go on adventures together. I am continuing that dream I had as a kid, and every story I write and illustrate is made in honor of them and the memories we've made!

From top left to bottom right, we have Hatim, Osama, Kais, and Shahab! These guys have been the backbone of the stories I made as a kid and created the foundation necessary for the stories I share today. And if you're reading this, Mohab and Ashley, I love you both very much and wish y'all well!

"Sometimes, the best designs come from the simplest advice: if you want to be the best, you must practice and polish your skills. But when it comes to your survival? That's all about taking that necessary shot, and we got two of them!" - Arkingham Family Ltd. Co. (2026)

The fictional gun design on top is based on the Pardini Arms GT45, while the design below is based on the Armalite AR-7 survival rifle. Both designs have been tweaked to suit the needs of the people of Arkingham, one being for competitive sports, the other for extreme survival with suppressor use.

"After reviewing Engel's background and connections, I have concluded that they are not only a passive, magical humanoid being, but also in desperate need of some confidence training due to their inability to confront their peers." - Dr. Susan Klavinsky 🧪

Dr. Susan is seen talking to Engel, a very shy and anxious, elf-like humanoid who's learning and training their powers. After reviewing their connections, she acknowledges that he's mistreated by his peers, suggesting that he's deserving of respect like everyone else and not to listen to assholes.

"Here at the Arkingham, our weapons are designed from years of combat experience, and the research that comes from our tests. And these beauties here? These are the results of our veterans' and researchers' collaboration!" - Arkingham Family Ltd. Co. (2026)

The first design is based on the CARACAL USA CAR-816 A2 hybrid featuring an extended magazine, adjustable stock, and a foregrip-bipod attachment! The second is inspired by the SAKO RK-95 TP with a modified RPK barrel and folding bipod, alongside some Arsenal Circle 10 45-round, extended magazines.

The image portrays the perspective of Dr. ██████████ getting caught by Lusiek, a femboy mermaid who's looking at them teasingly as they place their hand on the reinforced glass of the observation deck. And in case you're curious, Lusiek belongs to CyrusQuirin from Team Tragedy!

Pride and Men's Mental Health Awareness Month may be over, but the support and solidarity we have for one another as students isn't! Introducing the unsung icon of my College, Roland! And yes, his outfit is based IRL, and he's rocking the akimbo Staccato XLs 😎

Roland is wearing an all-black outfit consisting of a zipperless hoodie, a grey belt, and a matching pair of pants. His mask is based on Feitan Portor from Hunter X Hunter, and their secondaries are inspired by the Staccato XL with a Threaded DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) Barrel!

In here, the PuppetMaster is still wearing their iconic black two-piece suit, with purple buttons on their coat and red buttons on their shirt. In this non-canon universe, he got infected with the Crystalline Fungus disease after detonating its nest as a dirty bomb for the masquerade revolution.

Everyone in BLACKLISTED has heard about RDT, the Yakukoshi Hunters, but have you heard of MAT yet? In case you haven't, she'll make sure you will! Or at the very least, she'll be one of the last people you'll want to encounter in the field.

Takeda's outfit consists of a dark green boonie hat with a box of cigarettes held tightly by the outside band, and her Japanese flag, company, and organization patches on her black plate carrier over her unbuttoned button-up shirt. She's seen wielding both her katana and Colt Anaconda in both hands!

This illustration showcases both my persona and my partner's! My persona is seen summoning a giant cookie-and-cream cake out of thin air for their lover, while my partner looks shocked and amazed at what he could do. My persona may be a bit overdressed, but at least he has a gift for them!

"Since the World Wars, allies have been around for decades, centuries even! Today's allies are no different: whether you're supporting good people or simply protecting the rights of the innocent, you need a strong primary to stand your ground. Luckily for you, we have some!"

The first fictional design on top is based on the IZHMEKH AK-9, which is basically a sneaky breeki AK chambered in the same 9x39mm rounds as the AS Val. On the other hand, the second fictional design below is based on the Beretta PMX, which is a very modern submachine gun design!

For those wondering why I celebrate both Pride and Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, it's not just because both events are prominent this June, but rather, it's because of something far more serious, because behind every smile is built on years of resistance.

The drawing here showcases both me and Maximas, with Max waving the bisexual flag and me waving the Mental Health Flag by the Pete Foundation, although if you're curious, I am pansexual myself. This is meant to show solidarity and support for both the LGBTQ+ community and the men around the globe!

The Zastava M76 inspires the first design on top with modern furniture, such as a unique handguard with both MLOK and Picatinny rails, and the Imperial Tula Arms Plant ASM inspires the second design below. And if that name is familiar, it's because it is essentially a modern AS Val / VSS Vintorez!

"The only thing worse than fighting with allies is fighting without them." - Winston Churchill (likely in WW2) Yeah, another question: would you still trust your allies even if they are a bit of a risk-taker, adrenaline-loving, good-hearted homeboy?

This is the first part of "Whenever CPS needs some help", this showcases Maximas looking at something outrageous from a distance, as Jason commented that this task is "insane, stupid, dangerous even!" while he looked with amazement at the situation he signed up for.

This is the second part of "Whenever CPS needs some help", and Maximas looks over at Jason after hearing his comment as he asks, "And you're still interested?" as Jason picks up his Desert Tech Sabertooth and responds with, "ABSOLUTELY!" as he looks back at his husband with excitement.

This is the original reference that I used as inspiration for the webcomic, and for those who couldn't see it, this is based on Dolly's Factory featuring Triton, a light blue shark, interacting with Buddy, a light Golden Retriever. And for those wondering, this is drawn by Higelaw!

The first design on top is based on the IWI Galil 'Galatz' Sniper rifle, which is basically just a derivative of the Galil ARM but in modern furniture and 7.62 NATO. On the other end, we have the GIAT Industries FR FR 2, probably one of the best bolt-action sniper rifles during the Cold War!

Summer's here, and so are we, because the Arkingham Family Ltd. Co. is back to bring you all some exciting designs! Made in honor of our veterans, these designs take the rifles they've used and modernized it for present-day conflicts.

The two fictional firearms designed here include the Norinco Group QBZ-95-1, which is not only inspired by one of Nikki's OCs, "Casey", but it's also in reference to an RP I did with Doom! And lastly, the rifle at the bottom is the Ohio Ordnance HCAR, better known as the Heavy Counter Assault Rifle!

The S-Inaba is named after my buddy, Charcoal! And yes, if you've read the OG script of Alaya Gavan' — it's inspired by the FN F2000 S used by one of the main cast members. Meanwhile, the Fayekov is inspired by the IPI Malyuk, a Ukrainian assault rifle based on the Vepr, which is based on the AK-74!

The Battalion Offensive is an assault rifle design inspired by the FN FNC, and was used in Arkingham's later years into the Cold War alongside the AKs and ARs. Meanwhile, the Howa Type 89 was used as inspiration for the Peace Official, and is one of the few modern weapons used by their honor guards!

This new look of my persona includes me in my own Philippine Barong, with a black plate carrier on top consisting of my Philippines flag patch, 6-loaded M4-style magazines, the flag patch of the IFOPE (International Flag of Planet Earth), a side-bag for my medkit, and a holster for my sidearm!

The DOOM5K is not only made in honor of my Amino comrade, Doom, but it's also inspired by the Q, LLC. Boombox! Speaking of boom, we also have the Local Sheriff named after the Marlin Firearms Co. Model 1894S; both of these fictional designs are really cool, and I hope that my drawings inspire y'all!

Operator's Prime is based on the Robinson Armament XCR-L, a rifle design almost adopted as THE S.C.A.R, before FN clutched hard during the trials. Meanwhile, the Emergency Tool is inspired by the Kalashnikov Concern PP-19 Vityaz with Zenitco parts for further customization beyond survival use!

A somewhat crude color pencil drawing of the original design of the Japanese superhero Kamen Rider #1 (Ichi-Gou)/仮面ライダー１号。(You may have heard of him. ^^;)
He is clad in light green/aqua (here represented by silver run over with a light green) gloves, laceless boots, and a mask resembling the head of a grasshopper (complete with light red eyes). His muscular chestplate is colored similarly.
He wears a bulky silver belt with a red wind turbine in its raised center. He is accessorized with a bright red scarf, and all of this is over a black racing suit.
