Illustrations

January

Illustration of Cheryl stabbing a painting, every so often I want to make a larger illustration of a character demonstrating the thing that makes them tick, so to speak.

February

To pair with the illustration of Cheryl I also made one for Ash.

March

I ended up turning a ghost character I made in a group draw session into a pngtuber? Looking at the low quality flickering of this gif again it feels like a stream with a gimmick of being a haunted TV. That probably wouldn't be good to look at for very long.

Utsuho Reiuji from Touhou as a kind of robot. This basically came about because of how I construct the torso when sketching and how there's a hollow section for an atom like this to go.

May

Another character-building exercise, "what kind of chao would each character have?"

Practicing drawing interesting backgrounds, since I don't like drawing an ordinary blue sky very much. Before and after getting feedback about why the clouds felt wrong.

July

Using this ghost character as a representation of myself in little blogging vignettes is pretty fun.

August

The results of artfight, less of a "manga popularity contest results" look than last year.

I really enjoy the way streamer Holly Hollowtones among others uses "the getter" as a nickname for "the killer", or some other entity who's going to Get You. Then I got into Getter Robo and this happened.

I don't do enough with Desmond so I made a small comic just to get something out there. Make a terrible comic day and all that.

This one takes a lot of explaining. I can only hope people who know about Touhou look at the popularity poll results and see what I'm getting at here.

September

Part of a Cohost ask response, the question being "*places a bucket of water above a doorway that one of your OCs might walk through*".

More "dang it i want to draw like the things i really like" practice, this one's the Gurren Lagann eyecatch artstyle.

My part of the Cohost community board. Probably one of my favorite drawings of Rio, actually.

November

Trying to solidify the design of this self-insert character I keep drawing.

The Megas released another Halloween EP so of course I had to make an illustration about it with one of my own characters. This will probably be the only image of Vert on here for a while.

December

I keep wanting to draw interesting skies and backgrounds, so I tried drawing Aya from Touhou as an excuse to draw something windy.

Designs based on messing around in Picrew for a bit. It was nice to do something like that without a larger purpose for once.

Technically drew enough to finally do a compilation image like this.
