Tikari Art

A whole lot of everything that I've made

[tikariart]

Hello

This blog is dedicated for my art, mainly for finished digital pieces.

I'm an artist from Finland.

She/they

Things that inspire my art:

Graffiti Aliens Space Cyberpunk Y2K Nature Ruin Rain Forests Fairytales Cartoons Anime Anemoya

-Tikari means "dagger" and it's related to my real name.

Keikka (Keikkiäinen)

This is a character that kind of accidentally formed itself. I'm thinking of adding her into my story.

"Keikkiäinen" is basically the same kind of creature as a pixie. She's tiny and mischievous.

Her name means to "sway" or "teeter"

Näkki (Nixie)

I got inspired to draw folklore creatures in my small sketchbook.

The pencil I used was ass tho and the paper is cold pressed so it's a little bit too coarse for small details. So I'm not super happy with how the water turned out. 😛

Little mermaid

I was thinking about a mermaid character who started changing into a human, and then I thought that wouldn't it be funny, if the mermaid had the hiccups a lot, because the hiccup is supposedly a reflex from when we were a fish. Then I thought about her teeth, because our teeth have evolved from ancient fish scales that were used to detect things in the water, so I thought maybe she had really sensitive teeth and she swam in the ocean with a perpetual grin to sense her surroundings.

And then I decided to draw her, but just shittily with my phone, because I'm too lazy to set up my laptop and my drawing tablet.

Really felt like drawing yesterday but my mind was a mess again so I just drew these

I've still had it rough. Yesterday I made this little bug to calm myself down.

Seals

I'm feeling under the weather, so here's some lazy scribbles. :3

Felt like drawing some melty hamhams.

My fan art of Caprico from Shining Nikki.

Shining Nikki is a gacha dress up game and Caprico is one of the summonable "designers" who gives cyber/goth/punk themed clothes.

He's like this weirdo who experiments on himself with the cybernetic things. He's one of my fav characters from SN.

I think I might've made him a bit beefier than he is in the game. Whoops.

I took some liberties with his clothes and cybernetic parts.

I'm displeased with his hand but I already redrew it once and I'm done with this picture now... I spent so much time drawing details and correcting things over and over, especially those damn abs! 😂

I used Clip Studio Paint and Ibis paint

(edit: I think I will touch up on the colors at some point because my laptop screen sucks, and I think his skin just looks kind of ashy or something... but I didn't want to make him so pale, but I'll see what I'll do... maybe... )

Sketches I've done on Clipstudio for now

Thought I'd post them even tho I'm not that happy about them

Oc concept art

I'm trying to get used to my Clip Studio and Huion Kamvas. (And I'm sick and feel like I'm gonna throw up if I still continue drawing.)

This is what one of the main characters of my comic/story has evolved into. She is a witch. I struggled giving her a personality, but now I've just made her stinkier and lazier oh no. Also her name is now Laura (it's just a name that I like.)

Also she is still very much a work in progress.

Is she a self insert? Well she is kind of similar to my younger self but only visually okay... Because I can't help but draw my own face on everything.

Drawing #5 Gothic

Not feeling good today at all as you can probably tell from the quality of the drawing.

I'm not sure when and if I will continue making this challenge. I see now that it actually is not about my motivation, but I keep forgetting that I am sick and there can be some really shitty days when I literally can't do anything.

I think I was even a little stupid for drawing this and torturing myself for nothing, but... I hope someone might still like it.

What went through my head when I started drawing was "I don't want to draw a skinny or a petite woman, I want to draw someone that has the same body type as me, someone who is tall and curvy and muscular. I want to see a gothic outfit made for a big woman."

She looks uncomfortable. I am uncomfortable, and I am going to get a painkiller now.

Drawing #4 Thorn

I finally got a pencil for my Huion Kamvas! Wahoo! I still need to get used to Clip Studio paint, but here: Have a random rose demon/dryad guy that I just made up.

Drawing #3 Shell

Well... I think I might've gone a little overboard with this one. I first did the broken shell effect on the face and then I thought that damn now I gotta do the hair as well. I wanted to give her shoulders and some clothes but it would've been too much work again. Next one has to be just a sketch, if I still want to get something done.

I remember like around 2012 I tried to draw something similar to the hair in this, on Photoshop and with a huge Wacom drawing tablet that I'd gotten from my grandpa, and got frustrated cause it didn't look good. Didn't even imagine that I'd be able to do something like that just on my phone today. 😂

This is inspired by Silent Hill 𝆑 by the way.

Drawing #2 Ivy

I managed to make another quick one! I imagined some sort of vampiric or gothic character there, but that would be too much work. I guess I could use this as a backdrop for something.

Tools: IbisPaint

Techniques: splicing, tracing, free drawing

#1 Melancholy

I used a wheel of words to decide my prompt from the list and landed on quite a difficult one right from the start hehe. Inspired by a dead moth I saw yesterday on my walk. Used ballpoint pen and then IbisPaint.

I researched what kind of moth it was and it was a blue underwing, so I used that as reference.
