After HOURS of work and several vague posts complaining about it, I am happy to present:

Soldier

(Ancelin Direlle)

Click for better quality (tumblr loves eating the quality TvT)

Alt. Versions, progress shots, and yapping under the cut.

I spent a lot of time actually rendering this instead of half-assing it like I tend to do (I get bored/impatient with a drawing pretty easily) and even cleaning up the lineart to make it look GOOD instead of just passable.

I find both wings and armor fairly hard to draw so putting them both in one piece was a bit of a challenge (although the biggest challenge was keeping up my motivation) and the color palette gave me hell, seeing as it's 90% grey. I also got a *little* lazy on the background but I hate backgrounds and spent enough time on this already.

This was also a bit of a test to see if I could keep my motivation up enough to make a piece I'm genuinely proud of---with quality good enough that I'd feel comfortable offering it to others. I'm considering opening commissions some time in the next year or so (if my schedule allows).

Arming caps from the Hofjagd und Rüstkammer in Austria. These were worn to absorb the force of any impact taken by the helmets under which they were worn (they're an essential part of armoring up, but you don't see 'em in movies because you wanna see the actor's face/head when the helmet comes off).

Hello ! For my first post of 2026, I present you my oc ! The idea behind the character is that she can turn music into energy. I wanted to draw in a futuristic style with mechanical features. Her name is Halana Gakude, which for her name comes from the japanese of sound and electricity (The inspiration comes from MHA where each characters names means something on them) ! There is no reel reason for Halana, I just like the name. The rest of the idea that I didn't draw, is that her mask changes for every genre of music, by adding energy to match her look and her fighting style to the vibes of the music. I hope you will like it! It was an idea that was stuck in my head !
