I've recovered from my arm injury, so we're back at it! Thank you for your patience, everyone. Here's some new Nova art to celebrate! #art #oc #originalcharacter #characterdesign #retro #80s #anime #retroanime #80sanime #pinup #digitalart #1980s #scifi

CATCH THE NITE 🌹 🌃 { #art #anime #illust #mihonakayama }

Totally forgot to post her updated reference sheet #totallyharper

posting some TF Siege wallpapers from the blacklight easter egg era because it was a neat bit of bonus effort that should be appreciated ❤️

Finally got to update Mariana's design after last drawing her in January 2025. Get ready to learn some self-defence! #oc #originalcharacter #art #anime #retro #retroanime #80s #1980s #80sanime #characterdesign #digitalart

I know I reposted this yesterday, but I felt compelled to further tweak things, including the embroidery on her waistband.

Watch the films and shows that inspired your favourite anime and their respective directors and artists. It's fun to branch out and learn where they got that imagery or that character's hair or that narrative structure.

This is the adorable Nina, created by fellow retro artist Wonny Cage and drawn as part of an art trade! #oc #originalcharacter #arttrade #art #anime #retro #retroanime #80s #1980s #80sanime #digitalart

Before being a character in my sci-fi world, Tren was first created for a fantasy TTRPG setting. This is his most recent design. #oc #originalcharacter #ttrpg #characterdesign #fantasy #art #digitalart #anime #retro #retroanime #80s #1980s #80sanime #scifi

This is Eikolios, created by @totallyporff.bsky.social for World of Warcraft! Feels nice to dip back into medieval fantasy every now and then. #WoW #worldofwarcraft #oc #originalcharacter #characterdesign #fantasyart #art #anime #retro #retroanime #80sanime

Nova's sister Quasaria on her way to work. Her briefcase is an old-school "portable computer". #art #anime #oc #originalcharacter #characterdesign #80s #1980s #retro #retroanime #office #80sanime #scifi #vaporwave

Pan is a newcomer to the office, having only graduated from university a couple of years ago. She's here to get more coding experience. Construction mecha aren't going to program themselves! #oc #originalcharacter #art #anime #characterdesign #80s #1980s #80sanime #retro #retroanime #office #scifi

My first new artwork of 2026! Here's a character I've previously struggled to nail a design or name for, but now I have both- this is Vienna Summers, Sandra's boss. #oc #originalcharacter #characterdesign #80s #1980s #art #anime #retroanime #office #80sanime #retro

Oh hey, I drew out my sweet, innocent, baby boy Sigma for the character collab in #segaxcapcomzine! Be sure to check it out! #butzart

Hello new followers! I've had a short break- haven't we all- but I'd like to show you the progression of Nova before the year ends. There will be plenty more drawings of her next year for sure! #oc #originalcharacter #characterdesign #80s #1980s #scifi #retro #anime #art #retroanime #80sanime

I finally put the last cel I made for my exhibition up on my wall. I decided to keep Hide, Retsuko and Hiroki were sold. 😚 I really want to make more of these in the future but without actual cel paint, they take quite a long time.

Nova's expression here is perfect! If you've not done so already, follow Khan. Brilliant artist, and he livestreams his drawing process pretty often! I've learned a lot from him.

This week I watched Krull, a sci-fi/fantasy movie from 1983. It's a really fun movie! I thought the costume design for the "Slayers" looked cool- so I've drawn my own take on it. A frame of the film is included for reference. #art #anime #fanart #80s #retro #scifi #retroanime #fantasy #80sanime

Sorry I was gone for a couple of weeks on here. Been working on redesigning Lars, who I've not drawn since last year. The cel shading looks fine to me, but I'm unsure about the general design or the colours. #oc #originalcharacter #anime #art #80s #80sanime #retroanime #retro #scifi #characterdesign

Wanna go see Nova? I heard her place is really cool. She's even got the Legally Distinct 1980s Video Game Console! #art #anime #oc #originalcharacter #characterdesign #portrait #retro #retroanime #scifi #retrofuture #vaporwave #80s #1980s #80sanime

Sandra asks Hansuke on a date, and he can't believe his luck! Now where were his smart clothes? And a better question... did he have any to begin with? #oc #originalcharacter #anime #art #retro #retroanime #80sanime #scifi #sciencefiction #vaporwave #digitalart #characterdesign

Sorry it's been a while, I'm working on a few pieces at once. You'll see the rest of this artwork soon. #wip #workinprogress #art #anime #retroanime #retro #80s #80sanime #retrofuture #scifi #scifiart #digitalart #oc #originalcharacter

Years later, Meridia has still got style! I haven't drawn her in a long while myself either- my last attempt (second image) was in 2023! #oc #originalcharacter #characterdesign #ttrpg #fantasy #anime #retro #retroanime #80s #80sanime #fantasyart #portrait

Drew Toshiro Mifune tonight.

Redesigning Sandra and making some different outfit variants while I'm at it. And as a reminder, remember to have time to draw for yourself. #oc #originalcharacter #characterdesign #art #anime #retro #retroanime #80s #80sanime #digitalart #illustration

Nova in her pre-cyborg days. She loves getting a group of friends over to watch those cut-and-paste ninja movies with her. #oc #originalcharacter #art #anime #retro #1980s #vaporwave #80s #retroanime #80sanime #scifi #animeart #retroart #digitalart

Finally, I have settled on a design for Hansuke. He's had a few looks this year, but we got there in the end. #oc #originalcharacter #characterdesign #art #anime #80s #retro #retroanime #digitalart #vaporwave #scifi #80sanime

Domarn's a very corporate-minded man with a love for golf and a hatred of his company's rivals. When Sandra's boss gets her business moving into software that could change mecha design forever, Domarn keeps an eye on developments... #oc #originalcharacter #art #anime #retro #80s #vaporwave #scifi
