The hardest part about redrawing these characters is redrawing their weapons at non-side angles

Hey-a, #PortfolioDay! I'm Chris, AKA Lightning, a Concept artist and Illustrator, and I love designing characters and weapons. I'm currently open to freelance or studio work! 🎨Portfolio: chrismansingart.net 📧Email: [email protected]

i fear i am going to slowly lose myself in the RPG Maker hole... i found plugins that let it make SRPG combat 😵‍💫

I still love you, Little Witch Academia. Happy Anniversary

Happy New Year! 🥳🎆🎉 My resolution is simple: in 2026, draw/write more of these goobers and their adventures.

Welcome back artists!🖌🎨✨️ Quote Post with an old piece that you still like!

You don't need to worry about the shadow monster ̶a̶s̶ ̶l̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶s̶h̶e̶'̶s̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶c̶a̶l̶l̶e̶d̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶ ̶h̶a̶g̶.

Now that I have her redesigned, I felt like it was only fair to also change her name as she doesn't need it to follow rwby name rules anymore She keeps the mandibles though, that's never going away ✌️

Seline was intended to be a barbarian class so i'm making her just an actual barbarian

i have no idea what Eternal Return is, but they're having a GGST collab and i kinda vibe with the Guilty Gear characters in their artstyle, they're cute

✨Opening up commissions again! ✨ Because of my limited schedule, I have to scale back to just character comms this time. DM if interested, only 5 slots available at a time!

yes i still remember my one Neoclinus Blanchardi OC from the one discord D&D campaign that never got off the ground so she now just exists in nebulous space in my folders i should redesign her 🤔

Jack-O' day!

the urge to give up on learning backgrounds and just become a 'character on white background' artist is strong

the wait for Guilty Gear Strive 2.0 is so bad people on twitter are discovering that Giovanna's model has a bigger chest than Baiken's 😂 still can't believe the reigning fanservice queen had been powercrept this entire time before she was even added to Strive??

Finally decided to overhaul this character's design after months of sitting on his sketch cause I wasn't satisfied with it at first

They finally gave Zani her vacation! #Wutheringwaves

Zani wip

QRP with your OC and 3 facts about them -Ignia grows her hair long because she was not allowed to do so as a kid -Ignia's favorite TV shows are nature documentaries -Ignia is immensely sensitive to cold as a result of the experiments she was subjected to that gave her thunder powers

A range of habitats means a range of coral for these crabs to embody. And strength in numbers remains true in this new frontier. But intelligence enough to amass and shape themselves as humanoid to defend against or beguile man, that goes above and beyond.

Even a single bite can spell doom in these waters, especially from the predators equipped with such teeth and mandibles built to cling into fleeing prey, not to be pulled off without relinquishing chunks of one's own flesh in the process.

Guilty Gear x Darkstalkers for Halloween (3/3) Jack-O' // Hsien-Ko

Guilty Gear x Darkstalkers for Halloween (2/3) Elphelt // Lord Raptor

Guilty Gear x Darkstalkers for Halloween (1/3) Ramlethal // Morrigan Aensland

Happy Halloween! Unlike last time I drew all three of the Valentines, this time I can actually post them on the correct day! #Guiltygear x #Darkstalkers

mentally kicking myself for not realizing how easy cel shading was when you have a really stable lasso tool all this time

working on a guilty gear x darkstalkers drawing for halloween and took an unnecessarily long time deciding which character jack-o should be until i finally decided on hsien-ko of course elphelt is lord raptor because its too obvious

Lady Nagant originally a random sketch I quickly colored in blending layers to see how it would look

The unlikely exploration team from the Hunger of Mahar Voln TTRPG campaign that I've done monster designs for!

There is no more daunting a trial of resolve than what Evolution had set when this boar came to be; a bladed marauder with fury for anything that moves, hiding the sweetest meat when slow roasted over coals. It is a feast befitting one brave enough to tussle with this ruffian.

Armored on all sides, this lumbering tank hides one last surprise. Through a mixture of volatile bile and chemicals from the plants and insects it subsists upon, it spews a caustic mélange sure to deter any aggressor its shell fails to tire.

While some beasts are privileged with intelligence enough to consider mankind ally or friend, there are some endowed with the capacity for schadenfreude and the appetite for heartless malice without any practical benefit. In a way, doesn't that make them far more human?

How do I even start doing commissions on the vgen? maybe I'll get more buyers than I do on twitter or here 🤞

"Conventional forms of life are not all that patrol these waters. The ocean itself teems with the spirits of nature and the elements, and trespassers must be sure to keep a steady eye lest they be washed asea, lost to the tides."

I was playing around with various effects more than anything, really. The hatching pen I found is quite interesting 🤔 I had a hankering to draw more Crimson Moonlands battle scenes, specifically inspired by those old Daisuke Ishiwatari artworks of Sol Badguy slaughtering Gears

"Evidence of man's failure to ascend beyond the food chain appears in unlikely places. For instance, as they have spent millennia perfecting ships to traverse the waves, so too have the denizens of the deep evolved the tools needed to rend those ships into wreck and flotsam."

I can at last begin posting these now that the campaign they were made for is live! "Whelps of a far larger beast, they are often used as pack animals. Mayhaps a fluke of evolution gave these sharks terrestrial limbs, or maybe an alchemist somewhere simply wanted a pet."

what i'm learning from that "your most popular artwork of 2025" trend on twitter is that i should just post more fanservice for social media traction 🥲😆

hey artists! quote your RED art ♥️

I've been doing design work for this campaign, come and check it out!

Finally got around to finishing that one Punk Ramlethal sketch I did a couple months ago! #guiltygear

"Good morning! It is day three of the Shatterlife extermination mission, and Team Lunalux has just engaged with the target Elistiogrell specimen thanks to team captain Lucian's masterful angling skills--" "IGNIA, STOP YOUR VLOGGING AND HELP US!" "Good news, viewers! I'm being conscripted!"
