4 years since first chapter of ELoNR and an update on what I've been doing this year. I know the image is fairly cluttered. If you want to read it in plain text, as well as see individual screenshots, I'll post the link to Itchio post in comments.

Was considering to clean the line art, but decided that it is better to actually finish a piece of art rather then leave it waiting in the wings for when I would have energy and mood to undertake more polished stuff

#MermaidMask is out and it's wonderful! So here's a little piece with my take on two characters from it. Honestly, my only gripe with it is that in the entire subnautical adventure, no one had the decency to call one of the protagonists "Grimou-arrrrrr"

It's finally out! Can't wait to play it (whenever my internet will allow me to)

A little Fanart of the furryfied duoganists of the Tangle Tower in anticipation of it's sequel - Mermaid Mask, coming out this summer. Most likely my favourite detective game

I know my art output since the end of Messsnower have made it appear like I'm not around. Having internet issues for who know how long. Mostly working on the huge Steam release update for ELoNR. Might post occasionally while focusing on it but otherwise, will be kinda silent this spring.

I think the biggest hurdle of doing the challenge was less so actually drawing all the stuff and more so trying to keep up upload schedule. As far as the most interesting part of it goes tho, i would say it's doing all the concept art stuff for ELoNR. Can't wait to get back to work on it

Nik Rouz @nikrouz.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

And so Winter comes to an end. Messsnower is done. This was an interesting challenge to attempt. It was quite tiring and long but i feel like it's pacing have been more reasonable then a month straight of daily art from scratch. So it's quite possible that i'll attempt something similar next Winter

As i'm posting this, all 13 weeks of Messsnower have been done. Might take some time to post them online, knowing my speed, but if you're interested to see them early, they're up on my discord server (link to which can be found on Itchio pages of ELoNR and Casey)

The first non-messsnower art of 2026 is a commission for @scribblekit.bsky.social and @manedjackal.bsky.social. Really happy with how the environment shaped out in this one. Always miss working on comms like this after a while

Was quite busy during Messsnower Week 7, so decided to go for more minimalistic arts during it, with them shaping up to be a "week of shadows," as if to say.

Messsnower Week 6 was kinda feeling down due to serious internet troubles, so didn't do much impressive stuff but enjoyed making another trio of Koi Koi card designs

When Kevin sees a giant flying fish, he reaches out to a friend, describing it hoping their art will depict the fish, but he has no luck. He tries drawing it himself, starting a journey of self-discovery. Grab "Muse with Aquamarine Scales" by @nikrouz.bsky.social fenrispublishing.com/product.php?...

Took it easier the rest of the week, so second art is a Fear and Hunger x Night in the Woods x Disco Elysium shitpost and the third is a rendition of mine for another art of Eijin Suzuki, an artist strongly associated with the Japanese City Pop genre

Nik Rouz @nikrouz.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

But yeah, another excuse to work on ELoNR's steam release stuff. This won't be the final version of animation, but I think it gives a good idea of what I'm going for here nevertheless

Nik Rouz @nikrouz.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

Wanted to spend more time on the first "art" of the messsnower's second week but due to combo of power outages and poor time management, I'll call it an end for this one here.

This is among many WIPs of the big ELoNR thingy I mentioned during its last anniversary. Figured there isn't much point to be secretive. I suck at promoting my works as is. Expect ELoNR related arts during Messnower and onward. Hoping to do interesting stuff with ELoNR when it'll come to Steam

Nik Rouz @nikrouz.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

Really enjoyed cleaning the line art of the background on this one. part of why I spend as much time on cleaning line art as I do, is 'cause I can be more comfortable with coloring

I might post the arts out of chronological order. Some will be posted one at a time, some in sets of 3-4 and I may skip posting others 'cause I won't feel like they're good enough. If you want to see all arts in real time, visit my discord server. You can find it on the itchio pages of my games.

🌲❄️Winter is here and so is the beginning of the annual art challenge❄️🌲 This time, it'll be a more spaced-out one. Instead of taking place across a single month, having a single art done each day, it'll be entirely through winter, with 3 arts done per week.
