"Inner Demons" Another old #Bleach piece of #Ichigo with his inner hollow. Honestly it's been so long since I watched the first season of Bleach I don't remember all of the terminology and names! Gimmie a break, I'm internet old™. 🙃 #fanart #KrisCynical_art

Standard story: Today's my bday. I decorate cakes as a hobby, including my own. My mom bakes/frosts it for me, then I have fun w it. If I didn't, I'd get candy letters. #loz #Zelda #LegendOfZelda #Hestu #BotW #BreathOfTheWild #TearsOfTheKingdom #TotK #CakeArt #FoodArt #BirthdayCake #KrisCynical_art

"Mom of the Wild" My Christmas gift for my mom back in 2020. The full story behind the image is in the alt text, but I got my mom into #Zekda via #BotW and she ADORES the #koroks. And #Hestu. She's my partner in Hylian mischief. #BreathOfTheWild #LegendOfZelda #loz #fanart #KrisCynical_art

...are these something else I never posted outside of LiveJournal? I think it is. Oops. This was another convention piece, this time of #Sebastian from #BlackButler. He was very fun to draw. #CielPhantomhive? Not so much. I was freaking nuts for trying to do LACE RUFFLES. #fanart #KrisCynical_art

The one other #AttackOnTitan piece that I did back when only the first season was out. It's #LeviAckerman. And there were so many tiny details in that equipment & all of those straps/buckles that my eyes hurt by the time I was done with it. lol #AoT #fanart #KrisCynical_art

I actually have two more TotK Zelda things in progress right now, one of which is being inked after being a pencil doodle on my drawing board next to my bed for more than a year. What an odd but dearly missed feeling, having ideas and /actually executing them/.

This is untitled because I cannot for the life of me find a record that I ever actually posted this anywhere after it was finished. 0ops. An #AttackOnTitan piece that I did for cons of the original trio. #ErenYeager #MikasaAckerman #ArminArlert #AoT #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Come on n' Grab Your Friends" An #AdventureTime piece I did eons ago for conventions. And it bombed spectacularly even though I still really like it. ALT text for some tech talk. #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Hand in Hand" Another pic for proantagonist's #YoI fic "Winter Song" on Ao3. #VictorNikiforov giving #YuuriKatsuki some reassurance before the GPF. #YuriOnIce #victuuri #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"The Hero's Tears" The end of The Dragon's Tears quest broke my heart in the best way, esp with all of the Silent Princess that sprang up around Link like a last "I love you" from #Zelda. #loz #totk #zelink #TearsOfTheKingdom #LegendOfZelda #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Morning Routine" Some future #victuuri of #VictorNikiforov loving on #YuuriKatsuki during their morning routine. I always liked the little intimate detail of Victor's fingers tucked in Yuuri's waistband. #yoi #YuriOnIce #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Ina Bauer in Blue" #YuuriKatsuki doing a layback Ina Bauer, which was great anatomy practice. #yoi #YuriOnIce #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Mischief and Adoration" One of the many pieces I did for the fic "Winter Song" by proantagonist over on Ao3. #YuuriKatsuki and #VictorNikiforov having a little tipsy fun on the beach. #victuuri #yoi #YuriOnIce #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"The Six Sages" YES I KNOW ZELDA IS A SAGE the title refers to the six TEMPLE sages. You don't need to tell me. lol OoT was my fave Zelda game for 19 years until BotW hit in 2017. This is my love letter to it. #loz #LegendofZelda #OoT #OcarinaofTime #zelda #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Touch Me Like You Do" The night that I originally drew this I was going to doodle for 20 minutes before bed, and then this started happening and kept me up until 9:30am because I knew that hatching wouldn't last. #yoi #YuriOnIce #YuuriKatsuki #VictorNikiforov #victuuri #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"A-Kon 28 Deer, 2017" The last time I was asked to be the #A-Kon #ArtistAlley staff badge artist, they wanted a deer/doe girl holding an arrow. Again, she was fun to draw because it was unlike anything I'd ever drawn before. #KrisCynical_art

"A-Kon 27 Djinn, 2016" The first year I was asked to be the #A-Kon #ArtistAlley staff badge artist, the art was my choice (the geisha). When they asked me again the following year, I told them it was theirs. They wanted a "smart, sexy djinn". She was REALLY fun to draw. #KrisCynical_art #conventions

"A-Kon 26 Geisha, 2015" Back when #A-Kon was actually a regular Thing a million years ago, I had the privilege of being the #ArtistAlley 's staff badge artist. Three times. This was the first, with variations for the AA head and 1st Lieutenant. Details in the Alt text. #KrisCynical_art #conventions

"Stammi Vicino Duetto" #yoi #YuriOnIce #YuuriKatsuki #VictorNikiforov #victuuri #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Tea by Laptop Light" Another of my favorite oooooold pieces, this time of L from #Deathnote. #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"On Love: Eros" Not much explanation needed. #YuuriKatsuki being a pork cutlet bowl that enthralls men. #yoi #YuriOnIce #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"My Hero" One of my quickest sketches (~30min) that still holds the record of the most notes of ANY piece of art I've ever posted on Tumblr (4200+). I wish I knew why. #VictorNikiforov swooning at literally being swept off his feet by #YuuriKatsuki. #yoi #YuriOnIce #victuuri #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Tenderness Quite Like This" Title from the Duncan Sheik song "Days Go By". #victuuri lovin' on the couch during a lazy day off at home in St. Ptersburg. #yoi #YuriOnIce #VictorNikiforov #YuuriKatsuki #fanart #KrisCynical_art

I hope those of you who are already here don't mind the multiple posts at a time. I've been posting my work online for 26 years now and I'm still willing to claim the last 20 yrs or so of that backlog, so there's quite a bit to sift through.😅 Once I get through it all posts will slow down. Promise!

"Dark Link" Screw this battle. Seriously. I suck at it. I seem to be the only person who sucks at it. lol #loz #zelda #LegendOfZelda #OcarinaOfTime #OoT #DarkLink #Navi #fanart #KrisCynical_art

A BLATANT reminder that I will NEVER support Al or use it.

"Winning Worlds" Originally a countdown image for Yuuri Week 2017 over on tumblr that also fit Day 1's "future" prompt. It's a pity MAPPA never let us see that Next Level they promised us all at the end of episode 12.😑 #yoi #YuriOnIce #YuuriKatsuki #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"I Promised I'd Come Back" My fave #fmab piece of Ed metaphorically pulling Al's soul out of the armor. This was one of the first pieces that I utilized texture overlays as well as bruising and dirt on clothes and skin. #fma #FullmetalAlchemistBrotherhood #fanart #KrisCynical_art #EdElric #AlElric

"The Real Thing" Back when the body pillows released the fandom made tons of content about #victuuri obsessing about them to the point of neglecting each other, so this was my answer. "I have the real thing right here!" #yoi #YuriOnIce #YuuriKatsuki #VictorNikiforov #fanart #KrisCynical_art

Untitled because it was just a quick spicy scribble when I originally drew it. #yoi #YuriOnIce #YuuriKatsuki #VictorNikiforov #victuuri #fanart #KrisCynical_art #nsfw

"Reasons for Living" Title from the song by Duncan Sheik. #yoi #YuriOnIce #VictorNikiforov #YuuriKatsuki #victuuri #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Lust" She was fun to draw. This piece is probably older than some of my followers. 😅 #fma #fmab #lust #FullmetalAlchemistBrotherhood #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"I've Got Your Back" I've always loved #RoyMustang and #RizaHawkeye 's dynamic in #fma #fmab #FullmetalAlchemistBrotherhood #royai #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Do You Know (How Much I Love You)" Do you ever just... love somebody /so much/? #yoi #YuriOnIce #YuuriKatsuki #VictorNikiforov #victuuri #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Threatening" #Sesshoumaru from #Inuyasha looking... well... threatening. This is still one of my favorite #fanart pieces I've ever done, even 15+ years later. #KrisCynical_art

"The Giver" An ancient book cover college piece that I still like a lot. Unfortunately I don't know what happened to the original PSDs of most of my college work, so I'm stuck with this hybrid watermark. #TheGiver #BookCover #KrisCynical_art #BookIllustration #illustration

"Revive" My version of the infamous scene that started it all. I still love playing with extreme lighting like this. #Inuyasha #KagomeHigurashi #InuKag #KrisCynical_art #fanart

"Firelight" An #Inuyasha and #KagomeHigurashi wedding night piece, thus the ocean of fabric folds. #inukag #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Born to Shine" My piece for the Born to Shine fan zine, depicting the past of #YuuriKatsuki 's childhood and his future of winning gold at the Olympics. #yoi #yurionice #KrisCynical_art #fanart

"Midnight Moon" #Bleach #Renji #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Fighting the Darkness" From the end of the Inuyasha manga, when Naraku made Inu's youki possess him in an attempt to make him harm Kagome. #inuyasha #KagomeHigurashi #fanart #KrisCynical_art

"Lovers' Waltz" #yoi #yurionice #victuuri #KrisCynical_art #YuuriKatsuki #VictorNikiforov #fanart

So after 84 years I'm finally going to start posting on this account. I'm officially off of my antidepressants and I actually drew something new for myself last night... meaning that I am, in fact, still capable of drawing things other than professional stuff and I'm NOT dead. Shocking!
