Xero-J Sketchbook

Welcome to the little corner of Tumblr owned by one Jalen "Xero-J" Johnson! This page is my own personal sketchbook, where I post pencil sketches, future concepts, and other exclusive hand-drawn content! Colored versions of many of these can be found on deviantART!

KiriAsu Miniseries

October 24, 2024 is a special day for Kirito and Asuna, so back in June, the Japanese KiriAsu fan circle on Twitter started a weekly art event based on specific themes!

I've been participating by way of drawing quick sketches of FEH-style miniature versions of the two, while also personally challenging myself to put a Nintendo spin on the concepts given!

Were you able to guess them all?

6/1: "Shared Umbrella" x "Forgotten Items" + Pikmin

6/8: "Holding Hands" x "Uniform" + Fire Emblem Three Houses

6/15: "Ramen" x "Incident in the Safe Zone" + ARMS

6/22: "Marriage" x "Quarrel" + Super Mario Odyssey

6/29: "Surprise Attack" x "Moon" + Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

7/6: "Waking Up In Bed" x "Sunshine" + Pokémon Sun

Euden: Dragalia Figure

A sort of blueprint sketch for if I ever wanted to create a 3D figure of Gala Euden from Dragalia.

If anyone out there knows anything about 3D printing one of these, let me know, I’d like to talk about it!
