Xenoblade 2 Nia animation

Feels weird saying bye to now old coworkers. I hated working there + living here, but I really liked working with them, even if we all went through the shit Also feels weird starting a new chapter in my life when all I want is to settle. Maybe soon, but for now, new adventure for a year at least

Furloughed due to gov shutdown lmao Time to make money drawing fat anime tiddy on vgen, please request from me

Leaving Te*as to head back to Socal This place fucking sucks lol

Bags are all packed for tomorrow, man I hate Te*as Time to leave one hell and back to the other

In the stake of my depression on my final day of business travel, I have depleted a 100$ bottle of whiskey I don't think I ever want to do a two week business trip in a place I hate ever again lol

Thinking about storyboardimg a bit and really need volunteers to read/review it I've been thinking about Olivia vs Peacy scene in my head a bit while drinking after-hours on my business trip, and how I kinda wanted to make Rothica's past more of "here's /some/ info, make your own interpretation" >

In my desire to seek the mental equivalent of fast-travelimg about 90 days, I've decided I need to occupy my time fully to not think about it lol So along with working on prints (and maybe comms???), I'll be finally learning manga paneling and teaching myself 2d hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation

quick Thana drawing for a friend's birthday

Also came home to these

Back home from travel part one...i just want to lay down zzz

I think about that cute Hecatia cosplayer who was at my artist alley table BEFORE I was even open, and they bought a Nia print And then they came back the next day and got a different Nia print 🥹

Nia sketch clean-up progress

Something something due to the nature of my actual work prob makes my worksite one of the many choices for a response to happen All I have to say is that if I disappear, please save my Rothica and Peacy plushies, and also someone continue the Rothica storyline thank you

I'm still recovering from the con weekend + severe lack of sleep, it really do take like a week at least to go back to normal lol I am starting on a new drawing today though already. I'm also thinking about making more con merch in parallel with personal drawings over the following months

After seeing all the fumos at TouhouFest, I ordered a fumo.... It comes in July

I realized I think I have to be "professional" on the hellsite lol (as in post less cringe), despite me wanting to just say whatever/post whatever drawing. Especially with more official people following me. So I may just do my usual silly here 🙂

Been listening to this artist since high school I believe, and seeing this is surreal to me after seeing him perform live at the con That's amazing

Overtime pay gonna go hella for me this paycheck, so I can spend at the con + good food ...as I've been doing 12 hour days this week and am on the verge of collapsing when I get home from work 🙂🙂🙂

Crosspost because I forget here sometimes, but I will be tabling at the artist alley Table G3 at TouhouFest this weekend in Torrance (June 14th and 15th)! Please say hi and visit warmly 🥹

Working on table layout stuff for TouhouFest while slightly drunk Sneak peak:

I'm pretty excited for TouhouFest, it's coming up a lot sooner than expected, but I should have everything ready by then I also think it's super funny that my friends, who have no idea about what I draw/what Touhou even is, are willing to help me table lol. Also happy I prob don't need a hotel 🥹

I drew a Flandre that I'll have at TouhouFest 🙂 #TouhouFest2025 #東方Project

Reisen print I'll be selling at TouhouFest 2025 🙂 #touhoufest2025 #touhouproject #東方Project

Finally have the drive to work on this again, some background painting progress

I am not gonna complain about how rough 2024 was for me and my miniscule faith in the new year BUT instead I will say I will keep fighting my inner battles and press on with trying to be closer to where I want to be in life. Many future art goals and hopefully big career moves again this year >

more work

I really think that spending a lot of this year drawing for prints and charms really upped my drawing ability, especially in areas where I go, "this doesn't look right" where I'm able to recognize and fix it faster and more(?) accurately

I have to keep people on their toes by not only drawing cute art but also cute art with horror/dark themes Or I just draw degeneracy

xenoblade girls clean-up progress, working on the background a bit now

MiSide has ruined my brain and it is my favorite yandere christmas game

2025, I'm drawing even more degeneracy unfortunately, you heard it here first

I haven't been posting a lot due to "going through it TM" but I wanted to get back into OC works, maybe doing comms, and learning 2D frame-by-frame animation Just been rough at the moment unfortunately but will find a way to get back in it 🙂

I'm making a blackberry and pineapple infused vodka Wish me luck

added a mythra

expanded the thumbnail to rough sketch process for the characters first I am actually really liking how this is looking

thumbnail sketch, probably biting off more than I can chew like I always do, but it feels good to better portray my mental vision

Started on a thumbnail sketch and some figure drawing for my xenoblade 2 anniversary drawing Trying to think of how to place characters in a scene/background not made yet is very interesting in terms of composition. And then of course the background elements >

I am surprised there were quite a bit of Xenoblade fans today, I sold quite a bit of merch

Doodles

I'm open at Fan Expo San Francisco Artist Alley A312, come on down!

I have all my merchandise and table setup packed for the artist alley in a giant suitcase...I'm really surprised everything fit lol. Just need to pack my clothes and I'm good 🙂 Now to drive 2 hours back into town tonight to spend the late evening and Thanksgiving with friends 🥹

I'm excited for the artist alley the upcoming weekend since it's also a mini-vacation for me (I worked 55 hours last week 🙂), and I'm going to a punk rock concert right when I return at Monday night I say mini-vacation, but technically I'm still working selling(?) artwork 😔

Some mental notes I have for my journey of drawing backgrounds and their composition that may or may not make sense but: - Does the background world feel "lived in", and, is it convincing that this visual segment of that world exists? - Does the character interact with the bg (passively/actively) >

rough figure drawing practice - Mythra (drawing from real life is hard but will probably turn this into a print 🙂)

Think I'm mostly(?) ready for the artist alley at the end of the month - just need to make some labels and finally set up Square for payments on my phone lol This is definitely a trial-by-fire going to a large con as my first artist alley, but I'll do just fine 🥹

I've ordered some cork coasters for the con/artist alley table, so I should be taking comms on-site for anime characters/OCs 🙂

My business cards came in 🥹

Assuming I don't do any cons immediately next year, I may go back to working on drawing requests/comms/personal art 2024 really was an art grind year for me, and damn I have definitely improved compared to the start of the year
