I've been away for a while because I got the opportunity to work on Just Roll With It's pirate-themed D&D campaign, "Riptide" on their animated promo to celebrate it's return!

Below is a video to my YT channel showing my part in the promo:

Thank you to Screenbits Animation for giving me the chance to participate!

Stick around for the credits, and you'll find a certain name, hint hint!

Thank you so much to the folks over at Screenbits, giving me a chance to work on something special!

my advice: have fun and play–play is learning | always be watching real life to see how things move | also be watching cool animations to learn from them | don’t wait until you’re ‘good at art’–animating will help you improve | it’s hard but so worth it when things turn out well, good luck!

Little Metroid doodle: another one of my HC series where Rodney Aran (Samus's dad) and Adam knew each other when they were comrades (oh, and Ian too).

First night out, and Rod and co. meets Virginia, who is a student at GalFed Academy and works as a bartender.

She's actually very no-nonsense and doesn't take Rod's rizzy crap, but I got tired and didn't feel like drawing her with an expression like that, LOL. Ian just laughs at Rod's antics, but poor Adam looks so done

Old Metroid fan arts I drew a while back that I wanna share again as a happy 40th anniversary to Metroid. Drew a lot of dem space Skeksis when Dread was released and portraying Raven Beak a pompous bastard

TechPhee doujinshi cover (front and back) from a while back. The comic is actually still a WIP, but I haven't worked on it for a while 😢

It's an adaptation of the fanfic "The Right Partner" by fennecsrifle

I was lucky enough to reserve a spot at the Star Wars pop-up café in Shibuya on none other than my birthday! 🎂

Happy 32nd birthday to yours truly!

Quick colored version of an old AdamRod doodle from a while back to cure my creative dry spell:

Inspired by my hc that these two were comrades back in their academy days. Rodney bids Adam farewell before he movies to K2L to be a family man.

Thank you so much for the love on my newest Adam and Rod doodles.

Here are some old ones I wanna share again. My hc is that Adam and Rodney (Samus’s biological father) knew each other during their Galactic Federation military academy days, so enjoy some little baby Adam and Rod:

More Halo fanart from me for once (been busy with freelance and a zine project).

Man, if there was a Halo Legends Volume 2...bruh do I have a pitch for the next non-canon short: an affectionate parody to The Fall of Reach miniseries but it's an elite elementary academy AU, inspired by AoT Junior High (character design-wise). Here's Blue Team for now (I also sketched out other characters, too, so stay tuned):

Sam:

Fred:

Occasionally, Honkai Star Rail 🌟 🌌🚃

Though I'm not really good at it tbh...but I do enjoy the companion quests where you get to know about each character and that they're more than just a colorful character for players to spend their stellar jades on and how they contribute to the story.

I've been playing it since it first got released thanks to YT ads, and I have a soft spot for the Belabog characters.

A little backstory on why I love sunflowers a lot (⚠️CW: bullying):

As a kid, I hated my elementary school: as a child of immigrant parents in the 90's and English wasn't my first language at the time I was bullied (some physical but mostly emotional and verbal) and even the teachers were useless and would yell at me if I do one little thing wrong during class. I don't have the language to understand why these people were so cruel to me even thought I did nothing wrong to them (very difficult when you're a kid and you're still learning and ESPECIALLY difficult if English was not your first language too).

However, there was one time in the afternoon I had a teacher who would take me and a few other classmates out to the school garden, and we would look at the sunflowers that were grown, tall AF, and blooming. My teacher at the time would pick the sunflower seeds, and we got to snack on them... Those were the first times I ever ate sunflowers seeds, and I was amazed how flowers could also feed people too. I also remembered there was garden duty for kids and I got to take care of those sunflowers (and other plants the school grew) by watering them with the garden hose and my principal at the time (I still remember his name to this day) taught me how to water the plants and I almost accidentally sprayed him. He was the best principal tbh, but idk where he is now (retired, most likely), or if he's still alive, I wish him the best of luck!

Favorite season!

When I lived in the States, I enjoyed autumn!

I lived in the Midwest, so spring is non-existent with the snow OMG LOL.

Now that I live in Japan, and the cherry blossoms are right around the corner, spring is the best here! 🌸 sooo NOT looking forward to summer here, but I just wanna enjoy the current season.

BTW, whenever there's the Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, and Autumn Equinox on the calendar, it's an observed holiday here in Japan. Therefore, it's a day off from work and school! Spring Equinox is coming up this Friday, so I get a day off from my day job! YAY!!!
