Did I tell you guys I really like Larxene? LOL Posting something recent for once, I drew this last month on a sticky note and thought it would be worth cleaning up. #KingdomHearts #Larxene #OrganizationXIII #JRPG #Art #KHFanart

My tribute to #XiaolinShowdown! Please refer to my Tumblr for closeups of the 2 halves. Original sketch from 2014 and, per usual, I cleaned it up to my current standards. #ClayBailey #RaimundoPedrosa #Omi #KimikoTohomiko #MasterFung #DojoKanojoCho #JackSpicer #ChaseYoung #Wuya #Art #Fanart

My tribute to #PrincessTutu So much creativity, nuance, and character came out of this show. It proudly remains one of my top 5 anime to this day. Original Sketch from 2011. #Duck #Fakir #Kraehe #Rue #Mytho #Anime #Art #Fanart

Fanart of the anime Princess Tutu. Duck as Princess Tutu stands on an open storybook, her arms are held aloft by a marionet. To the left of Duck is Rue as Princess Kraehe holding a black feather between her fingers. To the right of Duck is Fakir holding a journal, his hand bandaged and raised to write. Beneath Fakir is a bloody sword and a pool of blood and beneath Rue is a large black feather and a solitary raven. Under Duck is Mytho, clutching his chest as a red light emanates from it. The Raven's eyes surround Mytho on either side and a heart shard glints in each one. The backdrop around them is full of weaving, thorny vines. Above them all are interlocking gears and Drosselmeyer's glaring eyes.

My tribute to Martin Mystery! Aimed for a movie poster layout featuring my favorite mini arc from the show. Original sketch from 2013. Check it out if you haven't seen it! #MartinMystery #DianaLombard #JavatheCaveman #Cartoon #Art

Fanart of Martin Mystery featuring Java, Diana, Martin, and Billy at the bottom with a brainwashed evil M.O.M and the guardian of the gate from the season 2 arc of the show looming menacingly above them. The background depicts the mountains where the aforementioned gate resides.

I de-Lego'd the original 4 #Ninjago boys because I really like the show! I did my best to give them all unique body features and skin tones. Even in Lego form they have some distinguishing characteristics, so I tried to stay true to that. #Lego #Kai #Jay #Cole #Zane #Cartoon #Art

Kai from Lego Ninjago pictured as bust from the shoulders up. He's been drawn in anime style with some distinguishing features to help him appear more realistic. The picture is cell shaded against a simple gradient background.

Jay from Lego Ninjago pictured as bust from the shoulders up. He's been drawn in anime style with some distinguishing features to help him appear more realistic. The picture is cell shaded against a simple gradient background.

Cole from Lego Ninjago pictured as bust from the shoulders up. He's been drawn in anime style with some distinguishing features to help him appear more realistic. The picture is cell shaded against a simple gradient background.

Zane from Lego Ninjago pictured as bust from the shoulders up. He's been drawn in anime style with some distinguishing features to help him appear more realistic. The picture is cell shaded against a simple gradient background.

My tribute to #Kairi, #Namine, and #Xion from #KingdomHearts. Original sketch from 2018. Really happy with how the background and light effect came out! Kingdom Hearts means so much to me and I hope to follow this series for a long time to come. #JRPG #Art

Set to a backdrop of a cloudy sky at sunset. Kairi in her KH2 attire floats calmy in the center of the drawing with her hands cupped in front of her. Floating above her hands is the lucky charm she made Sora, glowing brightly. Namine floats to left of the image, arched backward and reaching upwards to the blueish sky as blank sketchbook pages float around her. We can't see what she's reaching for but her expression is one of yearning. To the bottom right of the image is Xion, she reaches downward towards the reddening sky as seashells float around her. She is also reaching for something unknown and her expression is also yearning. The placement of Namine and Xion around Kairi is similar to that of a yin-yang symbol. The glow from the lucky charm extends outward in a subtle ring, giving the impression of a circle that not only connects Namine and Xion, but encompasses Kairi at the center.

#2B and Pod 042 from #NierAutomata! Original sketch from 2017. After the usual tweaks and finally adding color I'm super happy with the result! This time I tried to add a slight gradient to the hair which I think turned out well. #Nier #JRPG #art

Nier Automata fanart featuring 2B from the hips up holding a sword at the ready. Pod 042 floats beside her.

Maria and her familiars from #MariaTheVirginWitch! Drawn in 2016, this was also my first attempt at digital coloring back in 2019. As with my other old art, I've gone back and tweaked it to my current standards. Also, this is a very good show! #Art #Anime #Maria #Priapus #Artemis #Ezekiel

Okay so, where is all this supposed Avatar news coming from?? There's updates about new films, a TV series... but I can't find any sources for them. The official Facebook page is just memes and I don't think there's an official site for the creators, right? I gotta see it from an official source.

I’d love for Chiitan to be active on Bluesky, but they’re on the front lines battling the evils of Anti-Twitter. Fight on and stay strong you magical, pure hearted fairy-otter!!

In 2020 there was an official #Avatar fanart contest that got swept under the rug without a winner. Here was my entry! I spent over a week on it originally, so I only had to tweak it a little. #fanart #Aang

Back in 2019 I replayed #Insaniquarium and drew this for my YouTube thumbnails. I've gone back and touched it up a bit so it can be a standalone piece. It's a bit off despite that, but I guess that's how improving over time works lol #art #retrogames

Using my art skills for the greater good. Edited the meme format to credit the original base artist on DeviantArt :) #Art #Berserk #Casca #Guts #HotYaoiBase

The "Hot Yaoi Base" meme with a large, manly Casca from Berserk locking gazes with a smaller, effeminized Guts who meekly stares up in admiration at the imposing female warrior as a sparkly shojo manga backdrop surrounds them.
