Art For The Void

I like to draw and I do some 3D stuff. I like dinosaurs, monsters, and weird horny stuff. https://www.deviantart.com/mercymej

Fumi and Akira after the end (wip)

Came back to do a ton of coloring and shading today.

🫵Read Aoi Hana, watch it, even just listen to the soundtrack🫵 I promise it will make you cry.

Drawing Fumi and Akira from Sweet Blue Flowers.

Sweet Blue Flowers (Aoi Hana) is highkey good. And heart-achey.

I watched the anime earlier this year and got demolished by the ending. Today I just finished reading the full manga, and I am now in even more pain.

I desperately wish there could be more after the story's end.

I think I just need to sketch my way through the feelings, so that's what this is: just a way to see these two spend a little more time together.

[mercymej]

I wish I wasn't such a stupid person.

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy (work in progress)

I've always been a sucker for these two together.

I seem to be drawing Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. . .

These Kinds of Moments.

Karli (left) "I didn't know what to call my feelings for Sara back then. Even now, I'm still kind of lost in all these feelings; but I'm glad they told me how they felt, I'm glad they kissed me" Sara (right) "Confessing to Karli has to be the best mistake I ever made; I don't have to hide the way I feel or distance myself anymore, I can just tell her 'I love you' every day."

These two goobers are the main characters of a silly BFFs-to-lovers story that I've been dreaming up. They've been best friends since they were kids, and they're still best friends.

I've been working on this in bits and pieces for while, and I'm very happy to finally have it done (more or less).

This is my first proper go at drawing Karli and Sara after this scratchy little comic that I did last December.

[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4] It was very cringe, but it was made with love.

Little progression of my Karli and Sara drawing.

Don't know when I'll decide it's finished, but that's okay😄

I wish I had more to say honestly; I spend a lot of time on these drawings, but I never have a lot to say when it comes to sharing them.

Today's Progress on Karli and Sara

Mostly detailing the food, shading things, and trying to have fun with it.

One of these goobers is nonbinary, but I'm not gonna say who🤭

[mercymej]

Still coloring Karli and Sara.

I love these dorks.

Karli and Sara (wip)

Did some rough coloring on the scanned sketch, it's late as heck and I should sleep.

I look forward to working on this over the weekend.

[mercymej]

I'm drawing these two goobers again (Karli and Sara).

I haven't drawn them since Christmas and I can't wait to color this.

I've been having a fun time doing traditional pencil sketches but then scanning and coloring the piece digitally.

Coming Home

Her name is Finch; she survived for her sisters.

She was conscripted into the military in place of her two older sisters, who aren't able to fight.

Her world is cruel and life keeps getting harder; but she made it.

She's finally home.

I always come up with these stories; I almost never share them, but I always love drawing the characters.

Mercy Devil

I drew this clingy goober to represent myself; they're pretty much just me but slightly freakier, and a devil.😈

Mercy is a hugger; we have that in common. But it's hard not to starve yourself of contact when you just don't know how to ask for it.

But Mercy isn't scared to ask; and that's something I admire.

This persona has been in the back of my mind for the last year or so; and the other day, I decided to finally do something with them.

I hope to become as cute and confident as they are one day, I think I can get there.😖

[mercymej]

It feels weird just being happy to be myself.

Goofy Night Out (Mass Effect)

I made some cute Tali/Femshep art for you, it's post-ME3, I think.

Tali's usually the first one to get goofy drunk, but it turns out that Jane's even worse than Tali, and my poor boy Garrus seems to be blazed out of his gourd.

Silly space girlfriends would be so cool, I wish bi Tali was real💔

Invitation To Dance

Left and Right encouraging a comrade to join them in dance during an exposition.

I want an Atomic Heart spinoff game where you literally just do virtual photography for Soviet robot propaganda.
