Got this one back during Sakuracon 2026, but didn’t get around to building it until now. The Reben Wolf from Advance of Zeta Re-Boot: Gundam Inle - Black Rabbit Had a Dream!

Originally designed by Mars Zeon as a successor to the Doven Wolf, the Reben Wolf would serve as the Chester Space Fleet’s defense against the ReZeon forces that had taken control of Mars, engaging with the enemy at Phobos Spaceport.

Many mechanisms, weapons, and design aspects of this Mobile Suit would later be incorporated into the Doga series used during the Second Neo Zeon War.

The Sakuraba sisters take a much needed vacation from their duties and enjoy themselves on the beach! Thought it'd be a good opportunity to practice muscle detail and background effects. There's still a few days of summer left in the season! May as well make the best of them.

Nozomi relaxes on the shore and soaks up the sunshine while Hiroko enjoys the island breeze and the sights and sounds of the ocean. With how hectic things can get back in their homeland, vacations like this are a blessing for them.

The RMS-154 Barzam! The Gundam MK-II’s goofy cousin, and the TITANS’ replacement for the GM-II during the Gryps War.

This mobile suit was a force to be reckoned with against rank and file enemies during the Gryps Conflict! But it never quite hit the mark as its predecessor did compared to the more advanced mobile suits in both the AEUG’s and Neo-Zeon’s arsenal.

All and all, not a bad build! Though, I definitely wish they had the refined version as a High Grade…

Finished building this one a week ago! The Demi Garrison from Gwitch!

Its color scheme reminds me of the Jesta from Gundam Unicorn.

I like the vast arsenal of weapons this one came with. Beam rifles, beam sabers, big guns, rocket launchers, grenade launchers, missile launchers, this guy has it all!

Local mother pilots pink bunny rabbit Gundam to protect daughter! But the daughter takes the wheel and becomes the youngest pilot to have a confirmed kill count in the history of Mobile Suit Gundam. Built the Gundam Lfrith from the prologue of Witch from Mercury.

I genuinely like the design of this one! She’s a badass Mobile suit with a good arsenal at her disposal. Which, of course, is later improved upon when she is upgraded into the Gundam Aerial and sports the iconic Gundam colors we all know and love!

It’s always the ones that risk hurting or killing the pilot that are the most badass.

I always seem to struggle trying to keep heads proportionate to their bodies when drawing. I either make the head too small or too big. Sometimes I get it just right! But other times, I end up going back to the drawing board to fix it. It’s a bad habit of mine I aim to fix eventually.

Went back and made some adjustments to an old favorite of mine. Alita Valerius, Klaus's future bride, dressed in the formal gown she wore the night she met the young swordsman.

It is a rare sight to see a soldier of Caeleia adorning themselves in such an elegant manner. But, one such moment presented itself when the young commander was invited to compete in Elysia's Grandora Championship, a tournament where warriors from all across Terrene gathered to test their mettle against one another. Before the tournament, a gala would be held to give the competitors a chance to meet one another before crossing blades in the arena. Alita would dress herself in a yellow and black dress gifted to her by her mother, attending the formal gathering to meet the others heroes that would be entering the tournament. Caeleian warriors have a reputation amongst the people of Terrene, however...Often being shunned by those loyal to the alliance due to Caeleia's independance under their imperial banner. Instead of enjoying the festivities with the others, she would find herself secluded in the corner of the ballroom, sipping away at a glass of wine with her eyebrows furrowed, feeling a sense of unease and resentment from other competitors...Most of the party guests simply left her alone, fearful of approaching the Lioness of Meteola. However, a young man from the colonies approached her willingly, engaging in small talk before asking her about the lands she hails from, and the hobbies she enjoys. This would eventually lead to the boy asking her to join him on the dancefloor. And after taking the young swordsman's hand...She knew that one day their fates would be bound as one.

If there's one thing I enjoy when it comes to my female OCs, its gussying them up in fancy formal dresses. It's especially fun to design one that really reflects that character. A gorgeous gown that shows the world who they are and what they stand for!

Safiya loves to attend formal events! She loves to dress up like a princess from a fairytale and socialize with the other guests, learning of their adventures and the different cultures from all across Terrene. She especially loves it when someone approaches her and asks her to dance. Never be afraid to take this jackal's hand and lead her out to the dancefloor, as she is more than happy to share a dance with you! Just so long as you behave yourself and not speak ill of her friends.

Freya is usually not one for social gatherings or suit and tie events, but on the rare occasion she does attend one, she almost looks like a completely different person. Light touches of makeup, switching her glasses out for contact lenses, and dressing herself in the finest regalia she has in her wardrobe, the lass cleans up very well for balls and galas. She's not very good at socializing at them, however...You'll usually find her standing off in the corner with a drink in her hand, awkwardly watching the festivities or staring out the nearest window, lost in her own thoughts.

When Catniss first learned of her vampiric bloodline from her father's side, she didn't know what to think. She always believed her powers were some kind of magical girl transformation waiting to awaken, or perhaps an ancient power she inherited from a past life. She wasn't too far off on her guesses, but she certainly wasn't expecting her powers to come from vampires of all things! Now the heiress to the Crimson Clan's noble bloodline, she soon learns that being a vampire noble is more than just living a lavish lifestyle and wearing pretty dresses. Nevertheless, she wears her dress with pride, treating it as a symbol of her noble lineage, bringing honor to her family name, and taking down rival clans in order to protect those she holds dear. She may tease you and act the part of "alluring villainess" when you first meet her, but rest assured, she is a proud half-vampire heroine, always striving to find the next big scoop in her quest to become a legendary photojournalist!

Merlina absolutely adores dressing up! A good chunk of her personal wardrobe is fancy formal gowns she purchased from the different worlds her and Tomax have visited. Be it a ball, a gala, a wedding, or even a Halloween party, Merlina is always happy to dress to the nines in her finest dress and show it off to the rest of her friends. This is one of her personal favorites. The shimmering fabrics of the skirt, lovely arm cuffs and gloves that adorn her hands, the jewelry that glows vibrantly in the dark, she loves to wear this gown to formal occasions every chance she gets!

Bryan K. @krouserthehero.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Meant to draw this back in May during Maid Day, but...What the hell? Better late than never. Here's Merlina adorned in witchy maid attire! It is quite the enchanting ensemble, wouldn't you agree?

With a swish of her wand, and a push of her broom, this bewitching housekeeper is sure to put a spell on your home that will leave you charmed by its splendor.

Drew one of the primary Antagonists to Klaus's story. Gasparo Blackblood! Last surviving member of the Goblin Blackblood tribe. A sleezy snake oil salesman, and the right hand to the God of Chaos himself. He will do whatever it takes to see his lord's wishes fulfilled.

Before becoming Azazel's right hand, Gasparo was but a simple shaman of the Goblin Blackbloods, a tribe known for practicing the most dangerous of magics known to Terrene. They were a proud and industrious people who strove to keep the lands of Yorikai independent from the gods that would attempt to unify it under their rule. They held an iron grip on the land for generations, until the once prosperous Blackblood tribe was reduced to ashes by the followers of the Goddess of Earth, Akshatha. Gasparo was the lone survivor of this massacre, cursing the gods, and those who serve them. He wanted nothing more than to avenge his people by destroying everything the gods created. Intrigued by his hatred, Azazel appeared before him, offering him a place at his side in exchange for his help in creating a special brew that could..."Corrupt" the very being of anything that is consumed by it. Swearing fealty to Azazel, Gasparo became an emissary to the Forces of Chaos, bolstering Azazel's followers with forbidden arts practiced by his tribe for centuries, as well as laying the foundation for the creation of Black Malice, the infamous black sludge that would give birth to the demons of Chaos that haunt Terrene's shadows with an insatiable hunger for Ether, the Chaos Spawn. Gasparo is sleezy businessman and a master manipulator, using every trick he has up his sleeve to trick an unsuspecting soul into doing his bidding. His silver tongue and shaman magic make him quite the hindrance to fight in combat. You never know what incantation or trick he'll pull to the turn the battle in his favor.

Drew my alchemist lass, Freya, in a formal dress to feed the formalwear brain worms. For a socially awkward alchemy nerd, she cleans up pretty well! Wouldn't you agree?

A regal blue and gold gown fit for a princess! The gems, as well as the skirt beneath the blue and gold trim of the dress, shine with the prismatic hues of an aurora, shimmering beautifully along the ballroom floor, or out in the gardens in the pale moon's light. She acquired this dress from a local antique shop in her hometown. Infatuated by it, the shop's owner said it was made by a legendary tailor of old who was said to be a master of their craft. Freya could not help but feel tempted by its luster, thus did she make the purchase and add it to her wardrobe.

Meet Freya Rothschild! An apothecary by trade in a world that has evolved past such primitive methods of medicine making. However, the art of alchemy will never die! Not while she still draws breath!

Freya is an apothecary with a knack for creating potent cures for whatever ails her clients. Traveling from place to place with her family, they would sell their medicines to the locals in order to help them with whatever disease or ailment troubles them. Growing up, Freya studied books on flora and fauna meticulously to properly identify what ingredients can be used to make what potions her family’s clients may need. Following the laws of equivalent exchange, gathering the right materials, and properly diagnosing the ailment afflicting the patient, she soon became a natural talent that surpassed even her father.
Her family’s fortune would take a turn for the worst, however, when her mother became sick with an illness that neither she nor her father could identify. Try as they might to cure it, the sickness only became worse. Her mother started to act strangely, craving the blood and flesh of other beings, constantly attempting to satiate a hunger that never seemed to fade. It was clear to the father that this was not a disease...But something far worse. With no other choice, the father was forced to put the mother out of her misery. Distraught by his decision, Freya slowly became distant to her father, believing they could’ve cured her if he gave them a little more time. He assured her, however, there was nothing they could’ve done.
After Freya came of age, she continued her family’s alchemical pursuits while her father returned to their hometown and retired from the business, still mourning the loss of his wife. As she continued her studies, and grew her skills as an apothecary, Freya set out with a goal to create the ultimate cure, a miracle tonic that could end the tyranny of plague and disease once and for all with just one sip. And if she could not find it through means of alchemy…Perhaps…There was another way she could acquire this recipe…

New outfit unlocked! I got bored, so I decided to create a casual outfit for my lass, Freya! A more modern appearance compared to her alchemist attire.

In her spare time, Freya likes to take walks and collect various oddities she finds in the local antique shops and bookstores. From rusty daggers to old plague doctor masks, from botany encyclopedias to books of ancient legends forgotten to time, what others see as old junk she sees as valuable pieces of the world's history, keeping her finds neatly preserved as to not let them gather dust or waste away in some old basement or landfill. They certainly look out of place with a few of the figures and posters that decorate her room alongside them.
She also enjoys gardening, a hobby that comes in handy for her alchemical research when she needs certain medicinal plants to make a homemade remedy for someone dear to her.

The Pride and Joy of the Crossbone Vanguard! The Crossbone Gundam X-1 from Mobile Suit Gundam Crossbone.

I always forget how much smaller late Universal Century Mobile Suits are compared to the Mobile Suits of the 00 era. However, that smaller size gives them much greater mobility, making them able to easily outmaneuver and outpace the 00 suits in a firefight.

Another non-Gunpla build for the collection. This time, Zero from Megaman X, sporting his Black Armor!

Originally appearing as a soulless copy version of Zero in Megaman X2, the Black Armor would later be a secret alternate color for Zero in future games, and even later, a secret upgrade for him that enhances his abilities greatly! Either unlocked through code, or hidden in game.

He also came with an effect piece and interchangeable parts that allow you to pose him performing the C-Flasher ability from X5.

You've met Nozomi Sakuraba...Now, meet her younger sister! Hiroko Sakuraba! High Priestess of the Shrine of Eternal Autumn, her skill in the art of purification is the bane of all whose souls are tainted by evil!

Hiroko has a much more graceful demeanor compared to her sister. She is very calm and chivalrous, always putting others before herself, never afraid to aid those who ask for her help. She often acts as the mother figure to those in both the shrine and her village, showing concern for them if they are not eating properly or getting plenty of sleep. She is also very gentle with children, doing everything in her power to keep them safe from harm, sometimes even using her own fox spirit trickery to cheer them up if they are feeling down. Hiroko also enjoys performing traditional fan dances for the village when given the chance, happily swinging her fan elegantly to the music. She prefers to handle things diplomatically if at all possible, only resorting to battle if negotiations take a turn for the worst. There are times, however, when her obsessive compulsive disorder kicks in, usually triggered by entering a messy room, finding something out of place, or when someone accidentally moves something where it shouldn't be. But nothing causes her anxiety more than the shenanigans ensued by her sister, Nozomi. Her pranks, combined with her reckless behavior, more often than not cause Hiroko a great deal of stress, pleading with her elder sister to stop being so careless in her duties as a Shrine Maiden. Nevertheless, she adores her sister dearly, standing by her side when she needs her most, and always happy to see her come home when she returns from one of her many adventures.

Ghosts of the past come to haunt thy feed! Here's some old art of the Halloween costumes I have done for some of my OCs over the years!

The scarecrow, stalwart guardian of the fields. Though a friend to the living, he will not hesitate to defend his crops from would-be troublemakers. Trespass upon his fields with ill intent, and become food for the crows and nutrients for the soil!

The ghost of a fallen warrior roams the lands a restless spirit. Sprightly, mischievous, and feisty, this spiritual Valkyrie is a friend to all but those that prey upon the land of the living.

Disturb not the tombs of the god of burials...Lest the wrath of his mummified guardians be upon you. Though, this one can be merciful, so long as you offer treats to her in atonement for your intrusion.

Once a witch who traveled between worlds...Now, a lifeless husk, hungry for the flesh of the living. One wrong mistake with a resurrection spell is all it takes to make a zombie of a once proud adventurer.

Finally got around to drawing that fox girl OC that's been stuck in my head for a while. Meet Nozomi Sakuraba! A wandering shrine maiden with a swift blade and a heart of gold!

Nozomi is a voluptuous fox spirit praised for her beauty back home in her village. Beneath her alluring charm, however, lies a tomboyish prankster who enjoys toying with the people she meets and flustering those who fall for her. Her pranks are usually harmless, ranging from simple fox spirit trickery to humiliating individuals who stir up trouble while she's around. But, should a prank go a bit too far, she will apologize profusely and attempt to make up for her transgressions however she can. She enjoys sparring with other warriors in her spare time, testing their mettle in honorable combat, often treating them to a drink afterwards. She is also quite skilled at playing the Shamisen. When she isn't sparring, adventuring, or playing tricks, she is actually quite the pleasant person to be around, someone you can sit down and have a drink with on a quiet afternoon while sharing tales of adventure and battle. Kindhearted, polite, and loyal to those she calls her friends, she walks the path of a righteous swordsman, like her father before her. As such, she has no love for the unjust, often scorning those who walk a path of evil. Should you threaten to bring harm to her home world, or any world she is currently exploring, she will not hesitate to do what she must to defend it.

Presenting her royal ruthlessness! The crowned princess of the Blackheart Dominion! The only daughter of Remus Blackheart! Meridia Blackheart! Princess of the dead! She was long overdue for a new ref sheet, so I decided to do one for her.

Meridia is a proud and ruthless princess of the night. Should she set her mind to something, she will not hesitate to cut down anyone that stands in her way of her goal. She is also a master in the art of manipulation, able to negotiate, persuade, or even seduce anyone who crosses the party's path, swaying them in her favor with her silver tongue and honeyed words. But despite her arrogant and regal behavior, and while she can be rather blunt at times, she has shown to have a soft spot deep down. As time passes, she starts to care for Klaus and his party, slowly seeing them as powerful allies rather than expendable assets as their journey progresses, even offering advice to them and being a voice of reason in immense moments of stress. As their bonds strengthen, Meridia too would be seen as a close friend to the members of the party, willing to take a bullet for her, or fight in her defense, when someone threatens her life. She likes to read books and paint pictures in her downtime, sometimes practicing by painting her surrounding environment when she has the chance. She is also quite the fashionista when it comes to putting together an outfit for herself or the party. Her favorite food is pork ribs and her favorite drink is Red Wine.

Though she may look the part, Meridia is certainly no Princess Peach. I definitely got inspiration for her overall design from various princesses from different franchises, however. Heck, my initial thought process was "Goth Princess Zelda" while designing her current appearance, giving her the aesthetic of a bewitching villainess combined with the regal majesty of a queen. Funny enough, she was an anthropomorphic vampire bat once upon a time, but as I fleshed out her character, I decided to make her a vampire elf instead. Her dress was also a lot puffier in old designs, but I wanted to slim it down a bit and make it more realistic to actual gowns this time around, giving her an elegantly sinister dress as black as midnight, fitting for her station as princess of the dead. She is definitely no damsel in distress.

Been a hot minute since I've made a new outfit for Merlina. So, I decided to draw a new formal dress for her!

I primarily took inspiration from a few gowns I saw online while looking up gothic victorian style dresses for reference. There was one specifically that caught my eye, which is what inspired the outfit you see Merlina adorned herself in now. A lovely gown with an aesthetically pleasing vibe, perfect for a waltz across the ballroom floor!

Version 2.0 of one of my many multiverse wandering OCs. Generation 4 synthetic humanoid, serial designation S4-L1. But, you can just call her Scarlet! Scarlet Fenghuang!

Believe it or not, a lot of my OCs not directly connected to my stories originated as bonemerged ragdolls I cobbled together in Garry's Mod. Scarlet is no exception. What started as a rival character for my merry band of misfits eventually joined up with them herself and became an invaluable asset ever since. I can now happily add her to the list of characters that branched off from my Gmodding days and became their own thing over time!

This is a design I've had in my head for quite some time. It's based off of a cosplay I saw at a convention one time, and it inspired me to make an outfit for one of my OCs based off of it. Lightweight, flame resistant, and battle ready, this outfit is her favored attire when out adventuring between worlds!

Been a hot minute since I posted a Gunpla. So today, I give you the MSD/Modern variation of the good ol’ RX-78-2 Gundam!

The kit came with parts that give you the option to make it the early version, or the middle version from Gundam the Origin. I decided to do a hybrid of both to keep it in line with the Gundam’s traditional appearance from the original anime.

Putting it next to the Gundam Revive version…Wow…The difference is night and day! Definitely has a more mechanical appearance than the revive version!

Bryan K. @krouserthehero.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

Made some tweaks to my Half-Vampire gal, Catniss! I wanted to try and differentiate her human and vampire forms a bit more.

What started out as a character I made in Gmod by bonemerging TDA/MMD models together eventually became her own character with her own lore. Yet another traveler of the multiverse who yearns to bring the truth to light in whatever world calls for her aid!

When it was revealed to her that she was half-vampire, one truth became apparent to her...The supernatural exists! When not out adventuring with friends, she takes time to learn the ways of vampire nobility, learning to act the part and display the proper mannerisms when in the presence of other half-blooded and full-blooded vampires.

"Come, Disciple of Storms! Let us see if your mentor's guidance still holds true to Zephyr's teachings!" Remus Blackheart, King of the Blackheart Dominion. The big bad that pushes Klaus to his absolute limits and awakens the warrior within him.

There was a time when the people of Terrene called Remus Blackheart, King of the Blackheart Dominion, one of Grandora's greatest heroes. Despite bearing the dark blood of a vampire, both Elysia and its allies saw Remus as an invaluable asset. Though, those days would come to pass as a grave tragedy struck the royal family of Elysia. The queen had tragically passed away, and the blame was placed upon Remus for her death by the King, who claimed to have bore witness to the murder by Remus's hands. Chased from the capital by the pursuing holy Order, Remus barely escaped, thanks to the efforts of his fellow vampires, as well as those still loyal to him. Unfortunately, his name was now tarnished by the spiteful king, and with his decree, Vampires, as well all undead who walk the lands, would be hunted to the ends of the earth and be put to the sword in Saint Lordrana's name to avenge his late lover's death! Stricken with Grief over the queen's loss, Remus was left with a sullied reputation, heartbreak...And a pale skinned babe swaddled in blankets.
This grief would fuel Remus to a point where he inevitably became the very monster the king made him out to be, slaughtering any and all who bear the standard of the Holy Kingdom, massacring the villages and farms of Grandora for blood to quench the thirst of his followers, and going to war with the very people who once called him a hero.
"...A monster, am I? A villain? Is that what the royal family chooses to call a grieving father? A man trying to protect the only thing he has left to fight for in this world?"
"...So be it..."
"...A monster I shall be..."
Thus was he the Night's Champion no longer. He would forever be seen as the wretched king of the Blackheart Dominion for centuries to come. Savior of the undead, scourge of the living. The once celebrated swordsman was now one of Terrene's greatest threats.

The Lord of the Sith, The Master of Treachery, The Azure Knight, The Black Wolf, the initial inspiration for Remus's design came from a multitude of armor-clad antagonists. Sticking with the theme of of a Dark Knight crossed with a vampire, I wanted the colors to fit with the aesthetic of the Blackheart family shared between him and Meridia. Like father, Like daughter, as they say. I also wanted it to reflect a bit on the monster he has become by giving the armor some beast-like properties, representing Remus's inner demons made manifest, an armor to show that the man he once was is gone, and only a heartless conqueror is left in his place.

The head was bugging the shit out of me, so I went back and fixed it. Here's my soldier gal, Alita, in a maid dress serving cold water on a platter! I'll have an updated ref for her ready in due time.

Now for something that ISN’T a Gunpla! Axl from Megaman X!

“Just the thought of wiping the floor with those Mavericks makes my trigger finger itch!”

Poor guy’s been in a coma since Megaman X8…Left unconscious in X’s arms with a cracked forehead and a glowing shard Lumine left inside of him…

Had a good time at Sakuracon 2025! That makes twelves years of attendance for me! Here’s a few cool cosplays I saw while I was there!

The fact that the Gelgoog was still in use by Zeon pilots long after the One Year War really speaks volumes on its reliability! Apologies for lack of posts. It’s been pretty busy on my end lately.

My birthday comes once again! As of today, I have walked this earth for 31 years! Even now, I wonder how the hell I’ve managed to last this long… The answer is simple! I’m just a stubborn son of a bitch!

Made an updated ref sheet for my jackal gal, Safiya! A talented dancer, a loyal friend, and a fun-loving explorer who enjoys learning new things and discovering new places! But will she be able to overcome her personal traumas and master her gift as the Avatar of Anubis? Let us wait and see!

She is a very sweet and loving person who loves to socialize with others, always polite and always willing to converse with someone to learn more about them. But, she will sometimes act childish and bratty when something doesn't quite go as she wants it. She likes to play and go for walks when given the chance, eager to explore and have fun with friends alongside her. She enjoys dancing before a crowd or dancing for friends, always delighted when they cheer her on after her performance. She especially loves it when someone shares the stage with her and dances alongside her! She also likes to eat a lot, usually filling her belly with plate after plate of food that is laid out before her, so be prepared for a hefty bill if you share a meal with her. And be warned, should you share a bed or tent with her, she can and WILL cuddle you...

Fun fact about me! I am a sucker for Ancient Egyptian themed aesthetics and Egyptian Mythology. Especially when it's oriented into a fantasy or sci-fi setting! So, naturally, when making Safiya's initial design, I wanted to make a character that sticks with that aesthetic while also giving her a more free spirited fantasy style to make her stand out with the rest of my cast. The main inspiration for her definitely came from Anubis monster girls, as well as various characters from fantasy settings who share a similar theme in their design. Among the cast of Characters in Klaus's party, Safiya is definitely one of my favorites, and one crucial to the plot if Klaus has any hope of shooting for the good ending!

Made some updates to Merlina's current design. I touched up her shirt a bit and gave her some snazzy new boots! All the better to travel the Multiverse with.

I considered going back to her old design and touching that up, but after some creative input from my friends, I decided to stick with the current design but update a few parts of it to make it more palatable. Her vest is blessed with ancient fae magics and sewn together with special fabrics created to shield the wearer from any blades, bullets, arrows or magic missiles that may seek to pierce through them in battle, granting her protection that near rivals that of a suit of armor.

And here's how she appears with her cloak on. Both her cloak and her boots are enchanted with ancient fibers that protect her from the elements, allowing her to adapt to both warm and cold climates with ease.
