Putting the spotlight on some great stuff

This blog is intended to showcase art I have commissioned without getting drowned out by unrelated posts. Only the drawings that haven't been published anywhere else will be uploaded directly to tumblr; if the art has been posted elsewhere I will just link to it. But if you are any of the artists and would like me to remove the post, let me know in private!

Slightly different layout than my usual post, but this time I commissioned art specifically to use as cover art for some music I arranged, so it probably makes sense to link straight to the source. Especially since the artist uploaded it to their own profiles.

Herbert’s design is pretty odd when you think about it. A big robot with massive hands that also looks like she’s wearing a swimsuit... She’s still one of my favourites from the game’s cast, though.

Originally I was thinking that she should be in a Dracula pose (hands over her chest), but in the end we decided not to go that route. For the record it’s not canon that she sleeps/recharges in a pod in the first place, I just thought the idea was funny :v

I do like drawing older people, I tend to just huddle up in my comfort zone, but this guy was so fun <3

The Jönssonligan film series turns 40 years old this week, so it only seems appropriate to share this commission now. For context, this is based on the scene toward of Dyker upp igen where the protagonists are celebrating their escape from the police via boat. Admittedly I wouldn’t consider this film my favourite from the series, but that scene never fails to make me smile and Setz did a great job depicting the mood!

Was on an "internationally obscure Swedish media" kick earlier this year and revisited the Mulle Meck series, which consists of a lot of books and some video games about a somewhat eccentric mechanic living in a cosier version of Northern Sweden with lots of townsfolk. My first thought when seeing this character called Doris Digital* was that she would look great in Ao’s style, and she delivered!

*Or “Dina Digital” in the English version of the first game

Originally commissioned: March 2019

Artist: HeSerpenty/HeHu Art and Design

This artwork bears a representation of a tribal colonist sitting by a campfire, gazing longingly at the flames. There is a prairie in the distance. The work suggests the concept of calm. This portrayal relates to Cai “Spinecracker” Cai going on a firesetting spree on 2nd of Jugust, 5503.

Jokes aside, it has been several years since I lost the savefile, but Spinecracker the pyromaniac night owl is still my all-time favourite colonist from this game and I’m still very happy that HeSerpenty accepted this strange little commission request.
