I don't know why but it's always the simple pinups I struggle to draw the most. Anyway here's a new WIP of Riela. Her and Selvaria (who I'm also doing) were one of the first few characters I ever painted and I was in the mood to remake that pic.

I should watch Geass R4 someday since I'm playing through it in Lost Stories. I do love me some evil pink-hair women. I'm experimenting with BGs and text lately since my art is in a good spot but I'm not confident with them. Next pic will be something "normal" with another pink (kinda) haired gal.

Might be some delays on this pic due to personal reasons but it's coming along well. Expect it by Tuesday or Wednesday

Didn't have anything specific I wanted to draw this week so I decided to do a quick Reina pinup based on the recent Beatbreak ep. It was either this or something with her and Granit and I couldn't think of a good pose for them.

Had this idea in the back of my mind since watching Irregular season 2 and Valentines seemed like the perfect chance to draw it. Man it took a while though. Even giving it a week in advance I still didn't get it finished until now. There's a lot I'd change if I had the time

Haven't had time to read much of it but I'm a big fan of the new characters added to Code Geass: Lost stories like Bell here. Pretty good game. For those wondering about the Rikka set. Reception wasnt great despite how proud of it I was and I kinda grew to hate the set entirely so I deleted it.

NEW COMMISSION SHEET. If you want a commission or just have any questions. Feel free to send a message here or through Discord (naransolongo_boldbayer).

One more Limbus pic before it's back to the usual. These kids deserve a little ice cream after finishing the new canto. Can't promise I'll be back at my normal pace (and to think I was trying to speed up a little by new years) but I've got a couple ideas lined up.

And that's the Don set. Even after my initial depression spell passed I haven't been feeling that good about my art this year compared to last. I'll still keep drawing but I need to figure out how to improve rather than hope I'll be better "one day" if I just keep drawing.

More Limbus art since PM's dropping the heavy hitters early into this chapter. Might draw a follow up if I get her tonight. This one turned out okay but I'm still not happy with how art has been this year. Might keep my drawings simple until I get my confidence back

Not too happy with this sketch but I had to draw the new Limbus mommy at some point. I might finish it but I don't want to waste too much time on a bad pic. I was already aiming to finish this sketch by yesterday

I missed New Years itself but I managed to finished Anya and Es before the end of the day. The background took ages to do but the wings came out great. I've not improved as much as I wanted to this year but I'm gonna keep trying. Art is one of the few good things in my life that's managed to stick.

Working on a new years pic but I'm not sure if it'll get done in time. It might've been a bit much even if I was at my best but I'm committed now

Currently in a bit of an art funk so I haven't been doing anything big. Couldn't even finish this before Christmas. I'm gonna try and get something done for new years but the confidence isn't there.

Had to rush the Backgrounds but it's finally completed. I wish the 3rd/4th pics were better but I don't really know how I'd fix them and it already took way too long.

Time for some 18 and smol. This is gonna be a set but I'm doing it a little differently so consider this a preview of sorts. It'll probably take longer than my last full set but I'm hoping it'll look better too

This was originally just a practice sketch for my next set but I wanted to try and finish it "quickly". I think I just have to accept I'm never gonna be drawing at a normal pace even after this much practice

Wasn't feeling much art but I got in the mood for Lucoa and Shouta. I had planned to add a background and a short scenario text but I was already rushing just to finish it today. Funny enough I actually prefer Ilulu so it's weird I didn't draw her first

I wanted to do more with this but I wasn't really feeling it and I doubt I'd finish it anyway. Gonna try and get another sketch done today to make up for it.

Anya/Es pic No.9: Celebration That's the set finished. I wanted to get this done yesterday but a lot of bad things happened last week, most notably fucking up my arm (thankfully not my drawing arm). I'm hoping this whole practice was worth it.

Anya/Es pic No.8: Portrait

Anya/Es pic No.7: Captured

Anya/Es pic No.6: Topless

Anya/Es pic No.5: Protagonist

Anya/Es pic No.4: Streetwear No separate pics this time due to the nature of the pic. I didn't intend for this setting at first but I had a vision and the sketches turned out great.

Anya/Es pic No.3: Small

Anya/Es pic No.2: Chinese dress I keep missing the deadlines I set so I'm changing the plans a bit. There's no major cutbacks but I'm simplifying a few of the prompts to ease up the pressure.

Anya/Es pic No.1: Outfit swap

It's the anniversary of when I started drawing this month but I'm doing something different than my usual celebration pic. Until the end of November I'm going to be drawing solely pinups of Anya/Es in different outfits. My hope is that I'll be able to sketch a little faster once the month is up.

Practice pinup of @dedalod.bsky.social Cosgal. I've been experimenting with a few different things in terms of my art itself and how I go about drawing in general. There's still a lot of walls before I can get where I want to.

I was going to at least colour this one but it was a struggle even finishing the lines so I'm leaving it here. Not too happy with how it came out. Might sketch something light tomorrow but don't expect anything till November now

Bis sis zuri. Was checking out Fire emblem Cipher and the Camilla art got me in the mood to draw her. Sadly I forgot about both Halloween AND Anya's birthday this week but I've got a plan for the wives in November so look forward to that.

Practice sketch. Was tempted to finish it but I'm not really feeling it. Starting to think artblock's getting to me

Been trying to get back into Tekken 8 since watching the Miary trailer. You can probably guess who my main was too. Not too happy with the shading on this one so I didn't bother with rendering but I've got another pic of them in the works.

Nami finished. Pretty happy with this one even if it's simple. Did it's job to get my confidence back though.

Haven't sketched properly in a while considering I spent most of last week trying to line the set, so I'm still warming back up.

Decided to scrap the set here. Barely made any progress and I struggle to even want to work on it. I really should just give up drawing at a normal pace

Been sketching a new set the past couple of days but it's not there yet. I'm just giving up on drawing at a "normal" pace. Even pushing myself this week I didn't finish the sketches on time.

And that's a Ruli done. Something's definitely missing that I had when I drew those Kallen pics and I don't know what it is. Got another bigger project planned and I'm hoping this one will turn out better

Full body pinup practice. Turned out pretty bad but it's part of another pic anyway so I can just leave it out

No rendering again but it turned out alright despite the lag and general low mood I've been in. Still keeping art simple for a while longer. No idea where the skills I had for the Kallen set went but they haven't come back yet.

Small update. For some reason I am getting pretty bad lag while working on Es so it's going to take a bit longer before I finish those. Both are on the same file but whenever the Es layers are active I get hit with random lag spikes and I can't figure out why.

Couldn't just end it at the last pic so I'm drawing the wives again. As long as I don't mess up the shading this time it should turn out much better

I was hoping to get this one done sooner but, well, story of my art life that. I've still got some more lined up for the wives. It's a shame all my recent pics of these two have just been so meh but I'm trying to fix that.

And the rest of the Kallen set. Would be much harder to escape without calming down her rescuee

Kallen's rescue mission goes wrong(?). For her at least. Can't fit all the pics here so I'll have to make two posts. I feel pretty good about this one though

Another update. I'm nearly done but it still needs 1-2 more days before it's complete. Haven't been getting any faster sadly

Starting something a little bit bigger. The subject this time probably makes my inspirations obvious (well, if you know them). Currently a bit sick so art might be slow even if this was just a normal pinup.

Rough times with Kotori. Little bit different from what I usually do but I got inspired halfway through the sketch and it spiraled into more than just practice. Better that be the reason a pic takes a while than just me being bad/lazy.

New pic. Been doing a lot of simple things lately since I'm not sure what else to draw. I do have a bigger project in mind but I wanted to get more efficient before I started it
