Another piece from my last batch of commissions, this time of Gibbdoodles’ brilliant bird boi Gander and his best friend Wick! 🦜✨ More commission slots are going to be opening later this week - (June 17th at 8pm UK-time) - over on my #Vgen page! (^^)/ [ #Art | #MangaArtist | #Commissions ]

A coloured digital illustration of Gander, a small man with feathered legs and colourful parrot-like wings, who belly-laughs while sat on the shoulder of a Wick, dark-skinned man with curly braided hair and a scarred face who is chuckling as he talks to his smaller friend.

A piece from my last batch of commissions, featuring Aurel (a fabulous character belonging to Pando_Catz on insta!) 🪽✨ If you'd like to be notified when more slots become available later this month, the best way to do so is following my #Vgen page (^^)/ [ #Art | #MangaArtist | #Commissions ]

A black-and-white, manga-style digital illustration of Aurel; a young man with long braided black hair, horns and a tail, dressed in loose layers including baggy pants and an embroidered robe. He's smirking while sat in a relaxed posture, leaning back on one hand, with the outline of a single wing rising from his back.

💚 River 💚 Another piece I inked while prepping my #Vgen page recently! River’s design has changed a lil’ since I last posted her 👀🦿 [ #Art | #MangaArtist | #OCart | #Heartless | #Commissions ]

A black-and-white, manga-style digital illustration of River, a young black girl with armour-like prosthetic legs and a casual outfit. Her hair is braided and tied up into a bun, the pupils of her eyes are made of 'plus' and minus' signs, and she is sitting on the ground in a relaxed pose with one arm resting on a raised knee.

✨✏️ Comms Coming Soon! ✏️✨ A couple of sketches I inked recently as examples for my #Vgen page! ❤️‍🔥💖 I’m gonna be opening some commission slots on Feb 1st at 8pm UK time! You can follow my Vgen page to be notified when they open! (^^)/ [ #Art | #MangaArtist | #OCart | #Heartless | #Commissions ]

A black-and-white, manga-style digital illustration of Flint, a muscular dark skinned young man with short black hair and a handful of scars across his face and body. His right arm crosses his bare chest to grip his left shoulder as his other hand rests on his hip, as he looks away from the viewer with a casual grin.

A black-and-white, manga-style digital illustration of Alchemy, a glamorously dressed, feminine-presenting character with their hair held up in a bun by a ribbon with some segments falling loose in front of their face. They are shown from the shoulders-up, shrugging off a fur coat while tilting their head to the side and smiling.

💖 Alchemy 💖 Been cleaning up my #Vgen page over the holidays to get ready for the New Year! Here’s one of the example pieces I drew recently ✏️✨ – I feel like my colouring style updated itself somehow after not doing any coloured pieces for a while! :0c [ #Art | #MangaArtist | #OCart | #Heartless ]

A coloured digital illustration of Alchemy, a character with short pink-and-yellow hair, with a long fringe that partially covers one eye. They have a heart-shaped earring, a pink ribbon tied under their shirt collar, and are looking away from the camera with a confident smile

🖤 Something-Something-Freiren-Angle 🖤 Warmup doodle of one OC in particular that I’ve been rotating in my mind quite a bit of late 🧠💭 what is he scheming? 👀 [ #Art | #MangaArtist | #OCart | #Heartless ]

A black and white digital sketch of Alastor, a young man with black hair and tired, dark eyes; wearing a ribbon-like necktie and large-collared coat, looking down at the viewer silently.

🩵 Chillin 🩵 A warm-up doodle of my Ice boi Eira ✏️❄️ I’ve been trying to cram in as much behind-the-scenes storycrafting time as possible lately while juggling a bunch of freelance work and family stuff, so this was super refreshing to draw! 🤹✨ [ #Art | #MangaArtist | #OCart | #Heartless ]

the desire to make my characters freakier vs the being a comic artist who already makes my chara designs way too detailed and has to pay the price of that on a panel by panel basis

💛 *puts my protag in the cube* 💛 Very proud of how that shoe turned out ngl 👟✨ Trying to figure out a pose to fill the space for this one was rlly fun! I'm trying to build the habit of using vector layers for my inks atm as well 💪😤 [ #Art | #MangaArtist | #OCart | #Heartless ]

A digitally inked black-and-white manga illustration of Heartless, a young boy with black-sclera eyes and messy hair, crouched and posing to fit himself within the square canvas while looking at the viewer. His right shoe is closest to the camera, and his left hand is on his cheek.

💛 #Heartless & Flint ❤️‍🔥 Drew the lads while re-organising my Clip Studio Brushes! I normally have a hard time staying a bit more on the loosey goosey side like this when I’m inking, so I hope I can keep this kinda energy up! 💪😤 [ #Art | #MangaArtist | #OCart ]

🌙 Diana 🌙 Been roughing out some sketches of the Heartless cast in their youth recently – rlly happy with how this one of Diana turned out! 🤠 [ #Art | #MangaArtist | #OCart ]

a digital sketch of Diana; a sharp-eyed young woman with dark skin, a black braid draped over one shoulder, and a loosely sketched cowboy-ish outfit.

Stop us if you've heard this one before... ...An Aro/Ace Rogue and a Bisexual Ranger walk into a Succubus den together... "Bo & Aro" is a hilarious Fantasy action-comedy that centers around an absolute BADASS #Aro #Ace character. www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

The real problem with editing an anthology full of such amazing artists is that now I want all of them to work with me on something i wrote!

🏹 BO & ARO 🗡️ This dynamic duo are the stars of a short full-colour comic I worked on with @derekvsong.bsky.social, which is exclusively available as part of Lifeline Comics’ latest LGBT+ comic anthology, "Aces and Aros"! Check it out below! 👇 🖤🩶🤍💜 LINK: kck.st/3SU1LQ5 💚🤍🩶🖤

🖤 POV: Pondering crime over the morning paper 🖤 A long overdue lil' Creed doodle that somehow managed to capture his vibe better than some of my much more detailed drawings of him sgdkfjsfgh-- [ #Art | #MangaArtist | #OCart ]

a digital sketch of Alastor Creed, a gaunt man with shoulder length black hair, staring coldly at the viewer with dark eyes. His mouth is covered by the hand he's leaning his face on, as he holds a newspaper in the other.

💖Some Alchemy (and #Heartless) doodles that I forgot to post here! 💖 Silly? Glam? they have the range I fear ✨ [ #Art | #MangaArtist | #OCart ]

A cutely-styled digital sketch of Alchemy Valentine and Heartless, in monochrome pink and yellow respectively. Alchemy is leaning on Heartless' head as he stands in front of her with his hands on his hips. Both wear proud / mischievous expressions as they look into the camera.
