Navy Joe likes to draw things

I draw and write stuff.

I haven't actually posted any of my extended written works here before, so I need to clarify: This is a novel! Follow the attached link to read it! The third installment to my cybernetic-horror serial, Blood on the Matrix, is out! The story continues with Serena-Olivine Ramneau, cybernetic commando and blood-drinking creature of the night, pulled from a company party to help a client out with a big problem: There's a rogue program on his mainframe that needs exorcising. Of course, there's more to her than meets the eye... I hope you enjoy it!

Mao and Nanoka from MAO, Rumiko Takahashi's current ongoing occult mystery series, who I've been wanting to draw for a while.

Anabel, from Blood on the Matrix! (my cyberpunk-horror novel serial); This takes place after Book 3, by the way, which is why she's in a better mood, and has shorter hair than she does on the cover.

Sundress Layer, to round off these three navigator drawings.

Alia with a golden bikini, just in time to be fashionably late for Golden Week.

inspired by a convo about mm3 having too many blue people

also!! (some) process video under cut!! i remembered to save one for once!!

watch me in real time suffer the consequences of rendering the characters FIRST and figuring out the perspective background AFTER like a SMART PERSON

i'm proud i finished this tho. this piece was honestly a new milestone for me! i've never had the guts to render multiple characters in an actual perspective environment before (hence why the bg is very simple haha). i learned a lot!

also don't mind that gemini's arm things are reversed, i flipped the canvas halfway through and didn't feel like changing it

Whenever I draw Pallette I usually screw with her hairstyle a bit because I'm not the biggest fan of how it looks in canon. This time I added a streak of pink in her hair, and gave her a bit of an action hero schoolgirl outfit.

And a followup sketch to yesterday's drawing. Poor Erika. Also, trying out a new design for Butler, who hasn't appeared in a while.

Quint and Choir - the future-modified versions of Rock and Roll, for the 38th anniversary of Mega Man!... A week late, but better than never. It's also rather oddly funny to be revisiting these two on Tumblr since this is where the sprite comic I'd made starring them first got off the ground. (To clarify: Quint's from the game boy Rockman World games; Choir's an original concept)

[navy-joe]

Rei Toei, the digital idol singer from the second book in William Gibson's bridge trilogy, Idoru. Like with my drawing of Susan and Celyn, it being a novel means I went and put my own spin on it.

Ciel enjoying some time outdoors.

Osaka has returned!... And I am admittedly drawing this a bit too late for the actual release of her chapter in Yotsuba&, but, whatever.

[navy-joe]

Today's Erika's birthday (Or, if you wanna be more proper, Date of Production, since she's an android) so, I wanted to draw something cool!... And kind of Bullit-y. The car's a '65 Mustang, by the way.

Knives, Ramona, and Kim in the swimsuits they had in book 4. Although Ramona has her end-of-book 3 hairstyle, because I like changing it up about as much as she does. I also didn't mean to finish this on Canada day but that's the way it ended up happening :P
