Happy anniversary of my favorite video game character’s Cool Backstory Scar! 

Oh and The Boss’s son was born today too, and I guess he’s important.

@skazuhira and I started talking about a Pokemon/MGS crossover and these babies finally gave me the perfect thing to draw for it.

Ocelot's Alolan Meowsy and Kaz's Trifox, who thinks he knows how to scarf better than this weirdo.

Finally finished after school forced me to delay. Commission for @psiidmon of her trollsona, who I took to calling Jasmin!

INKTOBER STUUUUUFF. I'm just gonna dump it all here week by week. I started this drawing like "lol no one will recognize this character out of context" but... it turned out to be way more spoiler-y than intended. So enjoy this unfilled hand, possibly one of the best I've drawn.

What am I doing for Hiveswap Day? Godtiering my goddamn OCs, that’s what. Also, I get to introduce the entire Clone Brigade. Eventually. Drawing 12 of these goobers takes time. Here’s #6 through #8!

Another Hailey, who is now Full Robocop. This is the last panel for another short comic about her and Diane where the punchline is about cyborg boobs. I meant only to sketch it out so I wouldn’t forget the pose, but it got out of hand. I just love how her face turned out. 

I was designing her cybernetic patterns on the fly with so they’re a mess. Then I decided Hailey’s outer shell has stealth camo properties so I didn’t have to give a damn about inconsistencies. The stealth camo shell was designed for combat, but Hailey mostly uses it to dress up like Shadow the Hedgehog. She actually will answer to “The Ultimate Lifeform”, if only because the code name she really wanted was a no-go. The unit has a theme, Hailey, and that theme is emotions. “Memes” are not an emotion, Hailey.

Diane and Hailey again. Honestly, I could write these two going back and forth all day. I literally drew the Twinning picture so I could show what Hailey looked like before she went full Robocop and was built an entire head taller than her sisters. 

Pardon the word balloons, running a Homestuck fanventure for two years has made me forget what little I ever knew about lettering comics.

Twinning (2017) - Digital

Clone Brigade #9 and #10, Diane (left) and Hailey (right) Walker. Being two of the so-called Legacy Project with little to no genetic tampering or superpowers, Diane and Hailey were instead subjects for cybernetics testing. Diane stopped at her left arm and right eye (though she later had reinforcements done to her cervical vertebrae after a few “incidents”). But Hailey went on to go full cyborg basically just to aggravate Diane, who had cautioned her about letting questionable scientists tamper so much with her body. This would prove to be prophetic when Hailey got an extremely willful combat AI installed in her brain (nicknamed “Switch”). This did not dampen Hailey’s utter glee at being an ass-kicking robot. 

Also hot DAMN girls, were your hands a pain to deal with.

“You’re pretty good!” (2017) - Digital.

Meet Clone Brigade #7 of 10, Hope “Serenity” Anderson, wanna-be gunslinger and proud Browncoat. Hope is fanatical about space westerns (no points for guessing what her favorite is) and her dream is to see the stars. And also to travel back in time to 2002 to save Firefly from getting cancelled. Follow your dreams, kid. Follow your dreams.

Lillith again. Playing around with some new brushes. The actual image I drew this as is huge?? And making it a gif made my computer scream at me. 

[artofgjsmith]

I’ve spent so long drawing Homestuck that I kinda forgot I could draw something like this, and it felt damn good with how easy it came back to me. 

Anyway, here’s Lillith Clark, perma-Grimdark psychic of the Clone Brigade, all of whom I came up with, like, over the last two or so weeks, and who have not left me alone since. She’s #8 out of 10.

COMMISSION TIME! TLCstuck aside, I’m free more or less until mid-August. Want me to draw something for you? You’re in luck. 

TLCstuck-esque art and animation is also on the table, a la below: 

See also my personal favorite panels: Denizens | Part 1 | Part 2

These range in complexity and thus in price, but work like this is in the ballpark from $15-25 depending on what you have in mind and how long it takes to make. 

(Pardon the artefacting, it was a quirk of the process)

A panel like this took around 5 hours to produce, start to finish, putting it in the $50 price range. Prices on animation vary heavily depending on complexity.

All prices are based off time spent producing the work. If you have a question about pricing for a specific piece, message me with details for a quote. Digital and traditional materials are available. For more examples, see my art blog, which this is posted to. No NSFW commissions at this time! Mild gore and nonsexual nudity, however, is fine. When in doubt, keep it either PG-13 or something you’d see in a Renaissance painting.

Message me or send an email at [email protected] to get in touch.

Some old digital doodles, when I was trying to get back into the swing of digital painting.

Pieces from my 3D Design Class.

Top: Keyblade (2014) - Cherry wood, paint, varnish.

Bottom: Marionette (2014) - Various fibers, buttons polyester stuffing, acrylic paint. 

Both of these were designed as cosplay props. Dirk on the bottom I’ve actually carried around with my Trickster!Jake outfit.

Labradorite (2015) - Digital

Throwback to when Gill made art of her sister’s gemsona for her.
