Recently, I’ve been working on a group picture. Lots of work, but I think it will be gratifying

Two new characters I designed this spring! 

The top one is a very gender onmyouji named Itsuki, the second one, a alien magical boy named Rui

Montclair still stays one of my favourite OC I designed to this day!

I did this quick mix media piece for Lee Gikwang's birthday yesterday ♡.

He' s an amazing artist and I am really happy to have discovered Highlight last year.

I suggest you try how his new song D.C.Y.E, the performance version is amazing!

As for the piece itself, it was a interesting experimentation, maybe I should do more in this style?

Some of my favourite Inktober I did last year ♡♡

The first one is inspired by a vintage Japanese illustration

Derp, wrong account

A quick watercolor sketch I did for my friend Anna after she super nicely made a donation so I could buy myself a new Nintendo Switch ( my previous one got stolen ;_;) I drew her character from FFXIV. Honetsly, I really like the design Anna made with the in-game elements, I couldn't resist drawing her

Oups, I watched Netflix's Castlevania for the second time this week-end. I just had to draw Alucard. I chose to portray his human side and the unspoken promise he made to his mother. Almond blossoms symbolise promises. I think this side of him isn't often portrayed. I still kept a good dose of darkness and emoness, gotta stay true to the character. Used Holbein watercolors, a brown marker and white ink on Arches paper.

A sketch of my character Ardent!

The very beautiful king on Tonalli. I think it’s been years since I produced a drawing of him that I actually like. This character felt cursed. At last, this one satisfy me.

Who know, maybe I’ll color this one day… But really, who am I kidding, I have enough projects, ahahaah

A Twitch set I did as a commission for my friend Laylablu for her gaming channel.. I had a lot of fun with the cute items, pastels colors and  her cute avatar, the jelly blob Blu! (it’s shiny, and a bit transparent... it’s fun to render).

If you have the chance, go see her channel

Yesterday, I did a little doodle of my favourite Pokemon XD 

I think the first Pokemon movie brainwashed me XD

[sojiart]

Today’s is Risette’s birthday! I had fun with markers. She would be 21 today so I had fun, dressing her in a fancy June-themed furisode. She’s pretty cute 

(*´・ｖ・)

Hello everyone! I’ve been pretty busy recently, so this took forever,  but here are gijinka for the starters Pokemon from Pokemon Sun and Moon. In case its not clear ,you have Rowlet, Litten and Popplio from left to right

I’m not sure which one I’ll pick up yet, it really depend of what their evolution are like.

[sojiart]

Annnnd posted with the worng blog again XD Oups! 

[sojiart]

Wow, it’s been some time since last time I posted!  I just started a one-month contract so I haven't be able to draw for myself as much as I wanted, but here is a fun sketch I did yesterday of the Gambler King. This is actually a persona from a band member of Psycho le Cemu, so the design is not mine, but I had fun drawing this peticular character. Expect a color version soon!

[sojiart]

Another drawing I did as a Christmas present! The design belong to Gabriel, my sister’s fiance and good friend. As you can see that girl (her name is Midori) is hiding some stuff... but she’s sweet girl, really, she just like meat a lot :p.

It was my first time using gouache in a mix-media piece and I loved it! I can’t wait to experiment more with this!
