Memories of Unrestrained Summer Fun

I've finally gotten the chance to play with my alcohol markers again and I thought it would be fun to make a summery picture of Akira and Miki having their picture taken by Ryo at the beach :3

I really enjoyed playing around with the colours and shading and I hope to do more of that this month since I've got some fun picture ideas I'd like to do, I've missed making detailed pieces with a background.

This was meant to just be an animation test but alas miki tookover

The Frankenstein Rose

This is the ninth entry into my mini series of my AU versions of Miki in a manhua style ball gown! And this AU is a lot and was inspired when I watched Frankenstein 2025 and I thought that some of the themes in the movie could apply for Miki in some ways!

In this AU Miki has been brought back to life by Ryo to get Akira back on his side after Miki died due to the broadcast. Ryo had to use many body parts from several different women since only Miki's head had remained in tact, so when Miki wakes up she has some of the vague memories and feelings of these different women, which is confusing and distressing for her at first. Miki is horrified when she learns how the world has fallen and how much Akira has changed since her death and is angry Ryo had brought her back into this chaos when she preferred the peace of death much more than this nightmare. However due to being brought to life by Satan, a being who's power is equal to God, she cannot die again. Eventually Miki runs away from Ryo/Satan and Akira trying to find the last of humanity and help them bring back their sanity but will she be accepted or rejected by humanity like Frankenstein's monster was many times?

I had this picture in mind for a long while and I am so happy to have gotten around to making this! The dress is based on a dress from 1830

While I didn't capture all of the details the dress had exactly it was fun to challenge myself even if drawing the details was a lot, lol!

I felt good about drawing this piece since I had been struggling with wanting to make art nearly all month and I was so glad I finally made something again!

Happy Holidays 2025

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you are all having a great winter holiday no matter how you celebrate and have a great new year!

Its not so cold in the cool with you here

As I've said a lot recently I wanna play around with how I do colour in my artwork and make my artwork more striking than before. In my first attempt of this picture, I was playing around with different brushes and shading techniques but while I liked the colours, the shading feel to it and the soft touch of bounce light, I wasn't happy with it and decided to remake it using my usual brushes and shading style but kept in the elements I really liked in the first attempt.

I think it came out well and I have missed drawing one of my fave devilman ships and I had the concept of drawing a picture where Ryo and Miki are cuddling while talking about how much they love Akira. I like to think that their mutual love for Akira is what brings them to come to understand each other before coming to see what Akira would love about each other too. :3

The Devil Makes Their Hearts Soar

First shipping art of the year! <3 It feels nice to draw something like this again and I think I'm gonna try to take my time with making my art from now on cause with everything going on it could lead me to getting very stressed and hurting my hands. so you might see me posting like one piece a week or more.

Now onto talking about this piece, I wanted to try to do something a little more complex with the hands and posing of this shipping art since that is something I do want to get better at. I want to try harder with poses I find hard and not just give up, I want to try harder with compositions too and while this is simple looking I felt like I was doing better drawing this with more purpose in mind rather doing it instinctively all of the time. drawing Ryo titling Akira's chin up for a kiss was quite tricky but I'm happy with how it came out.

I had made the background before I knew I was going to make this picture but knew after making it that it had to star one of my fave ot3 ships. When working on the colours of this piece I wanted to reflect bisexual flag colours onto the characters and yet make them stand out from the background and I tried to do that with adding textures and adding shadow and highlights. Honestly I feel like I have to play with lighting and colours too this year, maybe go a little crazy and challenge myself more.

I used some effects that I haven't used in a while, such as chromatic aberration, doing more deeper shading(the last time I did that was with my Sirene picture but I was still keeping it as simple as possible) and noise filter since I've been mostly keeping things simple and using paper textures for my Miki in a ballgown series.

Overall it was just nice to draw my ot3 again, Ryo being a scheming bastard and shipping art in general since I haven't had a lot of energy to do it lately and pushing myself to slow down a little has been good though. I could do with slowing myself down further so I don't injure myself or tire myself out.

The Martyr Rose

Here's the sixth entry into my mini series of my AU versions of Miki in a manhua style ball gown! I thought I would draw the Crybaby version of Miki in a manhwa style dress since I had done the original/Amon OVA version of Miki in the first entry in this series. It was fun to play around with the folds of this outfit and when I think of Crybaby Miki I think of the colour green, I think it suits her very well. :3

The Angelic Rose

This is the eighth entry into my mini series of my AU versions of Miki in a manhua style ball gown! This time is a AU I haven't really talked about here before, this is based on my Devilman Vs Hades AU where Miki has a much bigger role in the story than in the original!

After her death like many lost human souls that made it to heaven, Miki was forcibly turned into an angel and her memory of her past human life wiped from her mind, all to ensure that she'd be completely loyal to Heaven's will. But despite being stripped of all of her individuality and transformed into the perfect angel, and given a different name, Miki still cannot bring herself to not question (at least inwardly) God and Heaven's intentions towards the earth the lost souls still wandering the earth. She also finds herself feeling strong emotions towards Akira the current host of Amon and destroyer of humanity, mixed in with her feelings of disgust and rage there is disappointment, guilt and also longing. A longing to hold him and make it all alright, feelings she doesn't understand and feels terrible for having towards such an horrible foe... And is he completely irredeemable? Is her God truly good? as her journey goes on the answers only lead to more questions...

I had a lot of fun making this one up, I've been meaning to make up Angel!Miki's design for a while now and thought doing it here in this ball gown series was a good chance to. I wanted to show Angel!Miki as someone who is very beautiful and yet very dead on the inside her individuality mostly stripped away leaving her almost like a drone with only the remnant of her true self still clinging on. The part of her that is still able to question what is really going on.
