Mayblade 2026 Day 14 - “Knowledge”

Went with a detective AU route this time. Would you hire them for the job?

#mayblade #fueart #mayblade 2026 #bakuten shoot beyblade #Ralf Jürgens #olivier bohringer #johnny mcgregor #giancarlo tornatore #Might be my last entry for this year #I just don’t feel great about my art anymore #It’s a sign to step away again for a while

Mayblade Day 13 - “Sky”

It was not a good game for Michael.

I’ve got a few finished pieces in line to be uploaded but after that, I’m cutting the cord early on Mayblade this year.

Feeling burnt out and sorry for myself (for dumb reasons of course).

#Fue rambles #I knew eventually this feeling would creep up on me #And it did #also I’ll say if the organizer isn’t feeling it than neither should I #There’s always plenty of art studying for me to do to improve #That isn’t reliant on deadlines #All things considered I made a lot of stuff I’m happy with #It was a productive event for me at least

Mayblade Day 10 - “Fashion”

I just wanted an excuse to paint latex outfits.

Mayblade Day 8 - “Horror”

He’s about to get ambushed.

#Fueart #mayblade 2026 #Mayblade #manabu saien #Team who #bakuten shoot beyblade #Despite not being a horror game enjoyer I like how many of them are from an overhead view #You can see everything but also not really since it’s so dark most of the time #I really like the idea I can up with for this #This is the only time in which Team Who is actually scary lol

Mayblade Day 7 - “Piercings”

Wanted to give Brooklyn a fun acrylic earring instead of his usual gold loop.

#Fueart #Mayblade #mayblade 2026 #bakuten shoot beyblade #brooklyn masefield #A chill entry for today

Mayblade Days 5 & 6 - “Green Unpopular Character”

In his defense, Steve was written off of GRev AND he still has no surname.

#Fueart #mayblade 2026 #mayblade #bakuten shoot beyblade #Steve beyblade #Or No Surname Steve as I’ve seen #I put some effort in the background crowd #They are blobs but whatever #I’m proud of this piece #It could be considered a sports entry too #But I want to use the other PPB characters for that #I based the jersey on this one still frame from Takao and Steve’s match in S1 #His PPB uniform is not practical for the purposes of this prompt

Mayblade Day 4 - Future

Went with a futuristic mecha sort of theme. Truth be told, I’ve always wanted to do a mecha pilot Team Psykick AU drawing.

#Fueart #mayblade 2026 #Mayblade #bakuten shoot beyblade #kane yamashita #Salima beyblade #Jim beyblade #Goki beyblade #Trying to draw more characters in one painting #First time drawing a mech #Could have been worse haha

Mayblade 2026 Day 2 - Lanterns

I honestly don’t remember what the original idea of this was, but the result is quite neat!

#Fueart #yuriy ivanov #bakuten shoot beyblade #mayblade 2026 #Mayblade #Getting my obligatory Yuriy art out there #Although he is not my favorite I do enjoy drawing him

Mayblade 2026 Day 1 - Good

Going with the “force of good” route to set up for forces of evil later in the month. It’s a shoe in for Takao.

#Fueart #takao kinomiya #Mayblade #mayblade 2026 #Happy Mayblade everyone!#Let’s all have a great time!#bakuten shoot beyblade

Gonna be smart and actually prepare for Mayblade this year. I could clean up any discarded projects but otherwise it’ll be real quiet for now.

#Fue rambles #Will I be making a piece for each day? No #Lot of bunching days together #I want to try to be more ambitious #Which I need time for #Time to lock in lol

Olivier and Giancarlo from Bakuten

Giancarlos/Enrique and Olivier .. they're so cute … they're my favorites .. i love their stoopid armors<3

the european team in this gen is cute and i like the idea that they didnt want to be a team bc "who the fuck are these other freaks" but THESE TWO had a tie and actually were friend (point to giancarlo/enrique inviting Olivier to stay for the night bc he came all the way from paris to rome to see him ) LIKE THATS CUTE , i hope they stay friends forever <3

I like Ralf/robert as a leader but he's just there to be strong and cold , Johnny on the other end is a LITTLE SHIT im just SO SAD AMPHILYON AND UNICORLYON ARE NOT REAL toys BC THEY4RE SO COOL the Dragoon VS Amphilyon rematch was my favorite fight of S1 ..

#bakuten shoot beyblade #olivier bohringer #giancarlo Tornatore #I love when people discover/rediscover these two #they’re probably my favorite duo in the Bakuten series they play off each other so well #I wish we saw more of them and the Euro Team in general but that’s not how it worked out in the end #Then I remember how little they were given in the manga compared so I’m grateful for what we got #they all got armor designs and personalities neither of which existed in the manga #If I were to compare Giancarlo looked the coolest in his armor IMO

It’s Gianni’s birthday today so I had him go to the aquarium. Maybe he’s on a date with Olivier.

Here’s to the first of hopefully all four Euro boys b-day art this year!

#fueart #bakuten shoot beyblade #Giancarlo tornatore #I actually don’t draw him very often despite being part of my fav team #Usually it’s him with Olivier #They come in two don’t separate them #Apologies on the weird cropping #I don’t consider canvas sizes as much as I should

A happy belated birthday to Takao Kinomiya!

Of course I was late to Beyblade Day.

#fueart #bakuten shoot beyblade #takao kinomiya #Protip for myself next time: make sure to pick my background color more carefully #It decides how the rest of the colors look #I’d have made this more saturated if I had a do-over #Beyblade

Been sitting on this WIP for a while. The urge to get it done turned out to be a powerful force!

Something I’ve been trying to do in my work lately is defining a sense of depth. It’s an ongoing, but rewarding challenge for sure. Using multiple, different colored light sources was pretty difficult too!

#Fueart #Ralf Jürgens #Ralf is always gonna be my default subject lol #Having one of these helps a lot when I’m trying to work on specific art goals #Having to think about who and what to draw takes more mental space and time for me #My process is very analytical the whole way through #So having a subject at the ready takes one step out to focus on the execution process #bakuten shoot beyblade
