My OC Amari sculpted in Nomad. I did this as a self training exercise. Now I’m ready to pursue more knowledge so I can develop better practices and techniques. I eventually would like to be able to 3D print my characters. #nomadsculpt #3dsculpting #digitalart #originalcharacter

Shifted my focus to 3D sculpting in Nomad. I’m a noob at it, though I’ve been trying off and on for years (in Blender, ZBrush, etc.) I think I’m on the verge of taking it seriously now. Lots to learn of course… #nomadsculpt #3d #ipad

Nafasi (Space) and Barafu (Ice), drawn in ink on 6x9" heavyweight paper. End of the series. Now to figure out what to do next... #art #drawing #traditionalart #bust

Maji (Water), Nuru (Light) and Wakati (Time) drawn on 6x9" heavyweight paper with ink and acrylic pens. #drawing #artwork #art #bust #traditionalart

Now we have my elemental OCs Giza (Dark), Radi (Lightning) and Anga (Sky) drawn on 6x9" heavyweight paper with ink, acrylic pens and some alcohol marker touches. #art #traditionalart #drawing #bust

Recent sketches. Ink drawings of my OCs Mimea (Plants), Sumu (Poison), and Moto (Fire). I really wish I had a real project in mind, but it's just not happening right now, so I'm just going to try to make a lot of work until something sparks. #art #traditionalart #inkdrawing #bust #fantasyart

I'm caught up in a commission so here's something from the archives to remind folks I'm still alive. I liked the design of this character I drew for my art book ages ago. #digitalart #originalcharacter #warriorwoman #scifi

Life is busy, but I still make time to draw here and there. #art #ink #pinup #bust

Someone on deviantART praised the way I've been drawing hair lately and said it reminded them of this old illustration of mine. I removed it from most places online but I felt compelled to repost it. One of my livelier drawings from way back in 2017, when I was working on my art book.

Took a digital sketch and decided to try cleaning it up traditionally. Some things may have been lost in translation, but I like how it turned out. #traditionalart #artwork #artist #fantasyart #warriorwoman #strongwoman #sketch #digitalart #procreate #clipstudiopaint #illustration #drawing

Working on updating the looks of the warrior women I sketched previously. I'm trying to get back to drawing the same character more than once. Just a WIP for now.

I was in the middle of building a DragonBones rig for one of my warrior women character designs when I suddenly lost interest in it. Got kind of bored with the character, figured I would redesign her to be a bit more interesting. #art #characterdesign #digital #afro

My current #WIP. I'm practicing my sprite making techniques by turning the warrior women in my past sketches into assets. I don't have a game in mind, but I like doing this sort of thing. Gonna build it in parts and animate it in DragonBones, maybe. #art #characterdesign #sprite #originalcharacter

Hey all. Been a while, been busy... Here's an old sprite animation, one of the bosses from my Jet Dancer game (available on Steam). I'm presently working on some new sprite characters as practice while I'm between projects and commissions. #2d #sprite #animation #gamedev

My OC Alexia (codename: Phantom) from a defunct concept. The lights on her suit are projectors that allow her to produce 3D holograms that can mimic her movements and act like energy blasts when they collide with a target. #2D #art #animation #sprite #gamedev

Completed sprite commission for a DeviantART client. Commissions are open! #art #2d #animation #sprite #walk #originalcharacter

My gal Christiana in action. Not as involved as the other prototype video, but I cared about it just as much. Unfortunately, this too suffered from my inability to fill all the creative gaps in my concepts. #2d #gamedev #platformer #animation youtu.be/nLiwzyS-3Pg?...

This was probably my favorite of the sprites I've made to date. #art #2d #animation #game #sprite

I'll keep digging these up from the archives while supplies last... #2d #sprite #gamedev #animation

Here's another one of my sprite animations. Someone I admired suggested long ago that this was more or less my 'niche'. I wonder. #2d #animation #sprite #gamedev

I have quite a few of these. This one is older, but never posted before. #art #2D #sprite #gamedev #animation

m.youtube.com/watch?v=6fcu... A prototype featuring the sprite character from earlier. #art #gamedev #platforrmer #construct3

I posted this on my deviantART the other day on a whim, and someone ended up hiring me to make a custom character sprite animation. Quite cool. #art #sprite #animation #gamedev #2D

Trying something out with one of my sprites. Wasn't sure if animated GIFs could be posted here. #art #sprite #animation

A commission of a City of Heroes/Villains character from a DeviantART client. My commissions are open! #art #commission #cityofheroes

The 5th-8th of my second set of warrior women sketches. The ninth isn't going to be drawn for a minute due to a sudden lapse in supplies, so I figured I might as well just post what I've done. #traditionalart #drawing #artwork #fantasy

Sketched the first four of my second set. I think my traditional drawings, while solid, don't really present well so I tried cleaning them up via level correction. #artwork #traditionalart #pencil #warrior #fantasy

Some recent digital works. #digitalart #characterdesign #women #procreate #clipstudiopaint

Just finished preparing roughs for my next set of warrior women drawings. Feeling pretty good about them so far. #digitalart #sketch #characterdesign #procreate #fantasyart

POLL for artists who find Bluesky useful (for work, self-motivation, community etc): What TIPS do you have for fellow artists about promoting your art on this platform? Hoping to create a resource similar to Book Promotion On Bluesky. HELPFUL tips only, pls. Self-promo etc hidden/blocked. Thx!

Second set of warrior women sketches on 8.5x11" heavyweight paper. I have thoughts of putting together a little book once I've drawn enough of these. I'm thinking 24 or so. #traditionalart #sketches #warriorwomen #artwork #fantasy

Sketches on 8.5x11" heavyweight paper. I was going to color them with markers or watercolor, but I suck too much at those things so I'll probably give them the digital treatment instead and just keep the original drawings as they are. #drawing #traditionalart #warriorwoman #illustration

WIPs of future planned drawings.

Chillin' in space.

Been a while. Kind of done with game dev attempts for the time being; I've been drawing again. Here is some recent stuff.

Alright folks, if you're interested in learning just how I go about making sprites in DragonBones from start to finish, this tutorial should be of some help. dualmask.gumroad.com/l/DragonBone...

Finished an illustration of my OC Zathira for fun today.

Still searching for 'it' ...

Hey all. I've been sick, but I'm getting better. Here's a doodle I doodled while trying to figure out what I should draw and why...

Finished up illustration of my OC Iesha, a companion/rival piece to my previous illo featuring Amari.

My OC Amari, rendered in Clip Studio Paint.

More WIPs. Will I finish them? It's a mystery...

Trying out different hairstyles for my prehistoric fantasy #originalcharacter Yandi... #characterdesign #afrohair #blackhair #african #blackwoman #art

Someone asked me where to get DragonBones, the animation app I use to make my 2D sprites. The original site doesn't work anymore, but here are a couple of safe places to download it from: archive.org/details/drag... www.majorgeeks.com/files/detail...

WIPs

I had a pretty fun commission earlier this year and he even specifically asked me to post it. So here's a Shadow Lady I made. Gonna aim for more Street Fighter-related art next ye--- tomorrow. Gonna aim for that literally tomorrow lol #ShadowLady #Shadow #MarvelvsCapcom #StrettFighter

Art vs Artist 2024... less a collection of my favorite personal works and more of the few things I recall doing this year that I managed to scrape together... I haven't been nearly as productive as I used to be and I want to change that, but for the right reasons. Happy New Year!

May 2025 be the year I finally get further than this in my Blender self-training mission...

Third and final Batgirl fanfic commission completed. I so rarely draw action these days...kind of missed it. #dccomics #artwork #commission #fanart

Needed to stop and warm up before finishing up my next commission, so I did a personal piece with my OC Christiana. #art #illustration
