Forgot to post bulbasaur

My favourite thing about first 4 h of Persona 5 has been the modern day Tokyo ambiance. I didn’t know how to look at the map so I navigated the areas by just looking at signs and asking around which in some other game might be frustrating, but for some reason in this case it really enhanced the mood

I knew Amano has illustrated covers for Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe but today I learned, so has Takeshi Obata. Imagining these books as anime designed by Obata is hilarious. I love his art, it’s just the tone that it sets that’s crazy. (Left is Amano, right is Obata.)

I became so good at the gourmet delivery quest in Silksong that when my partner got to that part, and he was feeling stressed and annoyed about it, it was finally my time. Singular instance of "I got this" for me Most useless flex but hey I need it

I was listening to anime director Mahiro Maeda’s interview and thinking how I admire his drawing skills, and in the same moment he goes on to describe how his drawing is “no good at all, so rough and bad” 🥲

Drawing directly with ink is like ok f it we ball

At the moment I would just like to draw all day, I’ve fallen in love with ink and pen drawing all over again. Such joy (Must remember wrist stretches)

Pokémon doodles from sketchbook

I heard some people are drawing Pokémon in March, so I'm also sketching some. Turns out I don't really remember how to draw them anymore so now I'm studying Charizard's head shape

New sketchbook and one good profile of a wolf

I think my line drawing has improved, and it’s pretty exciting for me to be able to see that. And that it feels earned, from having practiced more last year or two

As principle I’m not too keen on live action adaptations of cartoons, but One Piece is goofy. My bf said it reminds him of Xena and Hercules. Its bad! But so dang charming! If there’s one thing that’s genuinely better than comics it’s Usopp. Actor is so fun I feel like he often steals the scene.

The #9koma manga choices based on how much I feel the art and storytelling have influenced and impacted me.

For #My9Games I tried to choose ones that really lodged into my brain at a right time and inhabit some sort of permanent corner there Still hurts a bit to not include Breath of the Wild, Okami, Ace Attourney or Journey

Let’s see, a new pinned post maybe. I am an illustrator and I also make pictures with my own hands for animation and games sometimes.

Today I finally finished Moby Dick, while recovering from tuna induced food poisoning

I just realized I did make a big Zelda fanart when the series turned 25 years and now it’s 40 Hoo boy…….. I’ve had it at the back of my head to do a new Zelda poster for 6 years now but I never get around to it

I haven’t been interested in final fantasy in years, but I watched my partner play the demo of FF16 and I’m afraid my verdict is that Eidolon/Eikon kaiju battle is sick and I’m into it

I’m not a big movie watcher but this year I’ve made a list of things I want to see - older classics, but also movies I’ve been recommended and period films, and it’s making me like movies more I really loved Red Shoes and enjoyed Age of Innocence Orlando was fun

Illustrations made this year

Listening to Shelved by Genre Book of New Sun series, as they talk about Shadow of the Torturer. I read it & Claw of Conciliator in 2023. Fun to refresh memory on those, while reading the fourth book I like these books but also I am not smart enough to have figured out even half of what's up

Wild to me to live in a world where supposedly respected news sources publish think pieces on “Now if you really think about it. Reading words from a screen is like bringing someone to life. This scares and astonishes me, is there a fairy inside the GPU?”

I wish I could see more of the really dumb drawings famous artists have made. Did they draw them for their friends. Or just because they could. And after they passed their estate or similar looked at them and thought hm yeah Not part of the canon I’m afraid

Some while ago there was random art advice thing circulating and today I thought what I’d add. Take the time. Speed is not the most essential quality and is often to the detriment of the work. I think this is very apparent in lot of vis dev and concept I see, bg art too. Needs more time to cook

I’m still reading Moby Dick (in English, not my native language) which means I am also learning a lot of ship terminology. My reading is accompanied with a dictionary and ship blueprints

Every year seems to get worse out there, but on smaller scale I’m trying to crush it at new job and I have much more drawing fire than in months

あけおめ

Last year was frankly awful, sickness and grief all year long. So, I’m not superstitious, but in situation like this when my new year’s tarot read was very optimistic, I’ll take it.

I also drew these last week, continuing the long lasting fantasy horned horse tradition. The one with horn overgrowth is inspired by Elden Ring's omens

Began as an armour study, but started thinking about how to use it as starting point for other costuming.

Year of the horse

This year I also did plenty of lifedrawing, mostly from Zeet studio's cosplay sessions. It really helped me to get back on track both with drawing in sketchbook and with character drawing, and I enjoyed the challenge a lot.

Made more traditional paintings this year, that I didn't think were as much of failure as some attempts in 2024. I liked these!

I drew this bookmark for my partner, a little memento of our cat Remu who passed away earlier this year. It also has a little maneki neko charm that I repainted to resemble him

Hi new people. I’m Eva and I mainly post my own fantasy drawings and paintings.

Boyfriend gifted me my other boyfriend

Sorry I’m posting lot today. I thought about the one time my dad complimented my art when I “don’t do the anime stuff”, but you know. Those with the eyes to see know that anime was always there. He just didn’t realize it when it wasn’t looking back in the form of an anime elf, but as a tree

Made this fanart of Dilandau (Escaflowne) I started this drawing as a break doodle, but it was too fun to make so I finished it.

I've been watching Escaflowne for the past week and it's extremely my type of show, it's beautiful and has all the enjoyable anime fantasy nonsense. I like the idea that it was probably pitched as "this has everything to be a mainstream hit" but then it wasn't, instead becoming cool in different way

Happy holidays everyone Winter sprite and Yule goat, gouache on paper

Finnish newspaper is asking reader experiences on if AI is affecting their job or career future and look, I could write an article at this point Not to sound overconfident, but I think my article would be better than their weekly tech hype articles interviewing anyone who claims they're a CEO

Awards whatever but I was still yelling for Hornet Silksong like she’s my favourite sports player

I’m currently reading Moby Dick for the first time and it’s been excellent. But I will say I just got to the part where he has a lot of hot opinions about whale science and it’s hilarious

Merlin is one talented painter and a versatile vis dev artist, good chance to hire him now
