It's the end of yet another year! I was looking back on the artworks I've done (to make a year end favorites compilation) and it only now hit me how busy a year it has been; between a bunch of events like the Pixiv workshop, solo exhibition, and a whole lot of freelance work, not to mention the c...

It was a fun but surprisingly challenging time trying to put this piece together! Sometimes made up poses really don't work quite as expected or envisioned, so it's a lot of scrambling to try and make things appear as 'nice' as possible :) It always serves to remind me there's plenty to learn, an...

The adventure continues! I'm having more fun with this format of presentation as well, focusing on some more "big moments" and returning to a more illustration based focus for this character.
I hope you like it as well! As always, feel free to let me know what you think :)
The adventure continues! I'm trying something a little bit different than usual. Rather than a set of pieces that work together to describe a very "localized" event or scene, I want to try depicting a broader story with them instead for this character.
This really gives me the opportunity ...
Part 5 is up- This time we make some good progress with the piece, focusing on building a setting for your illustration, and how to capture it efficiently. I've also learnt quite a lot myself working on this specific piece, especially regarding where to put my effort in when painting the environm...

The process walkthrough for this month's pieces is up! I realize my commentary is becoming more of a flow of consciousness type of deal, skipping over a lot of the more basic and repetitive parts of the process. So I'd just like to remind you that if you have any specific questions, feel free to ...

A new character appears- Are they as innocent as they seem, or perhaps?
It's been a while since I had this much fun drawing details, hope you like it as well!
I feel this is a little bit of a return to the old slice of life illustrations I used to do a lot back then, but this time integ...
New art is back, and here to stay! It feels really good to be back painting new works 100%, already got a couple more ideas cooking up (I think I got an especially interesting one for this month's mega tutorial entry).
I hope you like the conclusion to the "Tower" set - how will the s...

The series continues! This time I demonstrate how much a composition can change based on needs, and how I make those changes gradually to realign the illustration with my goal.
It's also a full hour long, and fully real-time as everyone has requested. I hope you enjoy, and thank you so much...

Yet another two remasters for the book! We've just unlocked the extra pages stretch goal, which is something I was really looking forward to. It adds on 32 pages to the initial 152 - which not only means being able to include more content, but also that the art has more space to ...

This was actually quite an interesting set to cover, as the process was really complicated with a bunch of difficulties. If you find things can be frustrating sometimes when drawing unfamiliar angles and tackling new challenges in general, y...

As promised, I will post the remastered sets here in full resolution as always!
The first image was the one I was the most dissatisfied with originally, so I'm really happy that I managed to wrangle the composition into something (I feel is) much nice with a few simple edits. The seco...

Finally finished up this new bit! The lighting was quite a bit harder to manage for frames 1 and 2, as I couldn't use my favorite usual silhouette trick (which I found was quite optimal for dark settings).
Still, I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for your support as always!
It's day 3 of the campaign and the support has been overwhelming, thank you to everyone who has backed the project! I'm sett...

I swear these episodes are getting ever longer :) I'm trying really hard to keep the full process live - and so far that is the case, but it's definitely getting harder to go through each "stage" fully in real time. I feel that it's so far worth it though, as i...
Just two more weeks to Book 2's launch on Oct 10! Here's another couple of remastered artworks I prepared for the book :)
Thank you very much for your feedback as well on the dust cover/ hard cover - I've heard a lot of good ideas. In the meantime, feel free to let me know any miscellaneou...
And a couple more artworks that will be in it :) These two pieces didn't go too much change, as I liked them in their original form quite well, so most of the edits were to the character's face in the first image. There are in total about 160+ artworks, so I'm really trying to budget my time out ...

I think after looking through all the sets I've done (and reworking almost of all them!), this one has to be my favorite - which is also why I really wasn't able to change much of it, aside from some really small things in 3 and 4. They'll definitely be featured heavily in the book, and I'll have...
