Welcome to my art dumpster. I felt like my artwork was being buried under all the stuff I enjoy and reblog on my main blog. Expect fanart/anime/kawaii trash, but also tries at realism (also trash). But I'm working on it, slowly.
Yukari is Hitomi's big sister in every iteration. Especially after reading the novels (both series and movie), it stuck with me how she looks out for Hitomi! So I decided to celebrate their friendship with this prompt.
Inventory: 1x pencil of mechanics, 40x pencils of watercolor, 1x paper of frustration
Here's 30 gidaru (or gidals) in the early postwar-period coins. Obviously more of a concept at this stage. But I would like to develop this idea more and hopefully share the finished product, later!
I think I'm gonna do just traditional tools this round!
Welcome to Escaflowne Week(s) 2026! This event celebrates the 30th anniversary of The Vision of Escaflowne/Tenkuu no Escaflowne anime (and the recent 25th anniversary of the Escaflowne movie). Of course, any material related to the expanded universe is welcome, too.
☄️ Enjoy and spread the love for Esca by reblogging!
Liking is nice, too, but does not do anything.
☄️ Feel free to link this post on other platforms as well.
Looking forward to your participation!

What wouldn't I do for grumpy on his birthday. I would even color the sketch of him in his dad's robe I started few years back. Progress pics under the cut because I like how samurai he looks on the rough heh
As promised, here's the second part of our collab with the amazing @pikafwance! Her awesome Gaddes lineart was a joy to work on and it was such a fun experience altogether! Please enjoy the One and Best Sergeant of Gaea...
This has got a few notes today and while it may or may not have been related to the sad news, I was reminded of the long-awaited moment that inspired this, not too long ago. And yet here we are, crying again, this time for something we never wanted to happen instead. The heartbreak is a proof of how many people have at some point, or maybe for a very long time (a decade for me, personally), touched by this manga.
It’s painful now to realize that Miura Kentarou won’t see his life’s work finished. But I believe Berserk will live on as an inspiration for a long time to come.
Thank you for that incredible, hard work. Get that much-deserved rest, sensei.
Van is Justice in the movie card set. That’s it, that’s the whole idea.

I wanted to do something for the movie as well since it had its 20th anniversary last year. This is really just a speedpaint but it was also a good chance to study the style a bit looking at the references. Otherwise, literally back to the roots with the dirty, angry sketch (normally, I would do a cleaner sketch/line over this, sometime even lineart on top)... but I gotta say it’s fun like this!
The memory that comes to Eries’ mind both when she thinks of life and when she thinks of death.

I know this is a sad scene but it was not intended to be one of Therese’s passing. This was supposed to be more like her introducing baby Millerna to her girls and asking them to always take care of their little sister. Grava is... worried about his wife? Disappointed third time is not a charm? You decide, he’s a complicated man, heh. I really did a quick job “coloring” today so this is more of a glorified sketchy lineart. I feel like it may have potential to be colored properly, so I didn’t want to spend too much time. And who are we kidding, I’m running out of steam by the third day, so maybe let’s just pretend this is also for the day 4 (Royalty).
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
Well don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

Dragonslayers finishing a training course. Can you identify them all? ;) Done in about 3-4 sittings, so probably doesn’t qualify for a speedpaint. Oldies are also not all I listen to, I swear (song is CCR - Bad Moon Rising).
... for the first day of @escaflowneweek, tiny heroine’s first encounter with fortune-telling

I knew speedpaints would be the best I can do for this but I still wanted to join. To keep it “speed” I’m timing myself and I’ll include the start and finishing date for each piece! With this one, I wanted to recreate sort of a “memory-like” feeling... and the way babies can watch things intently, lol.
Sometimes I think that the only thing saving my music taste is my parents spending a fortune on a Toshiba stereo and a lots of western LPs (in a socialist economy). Yes, including this one.
Just something rough I did for fun but it also makes a lot of sense in my head. And yeah; Dreams is like, the ultimate Allen song.
Reupload with individual pics, I included some comments in the captions. I must say I treated this little better than sketches, setting up a deadline and all… otherwise I’d never finish. I streamlined everything so please forgive the resulting inaccuracies and stuff.

Thank you for the requests… I tried my best, it was a challenge as intended ;)

UPDATE... thanks for the requests on the 6 charas meme! Just wanted to say I will do it eventually, no worries, just please be patient. I need to get into a good mood for drawing but I’ve been feeling super tired recently... so besides that miraculous one-hour Dryden, it’s not working out quite yet. I feel like it will, but don’t wanna force it.
It is funny though, and guess it has also to do with how I feel about my art right now. I kid you not I cannot even look at my older pics for a few seconds, I feel so cringe. I actively resist the urge to delete anything, but I really want to update some of the pictures to match my current criteria lol. Anyone who can sit down and draw anytime has my utter respect... and jealousy.
What’s also funny is, I used to feel the same way about writing; like it was impossible to write a few sentences without getting embarrassed about the result. Wonder what has changed? More importantly, WHY CAN’T WE HAVE NICE THINGS ON EVERY FRONT??!
Bottom line: You can also still pitch some more characters for the meme, that’s fine!
