New characters are being added to the Final Fantasy summer campaign! This time Final Fantasy XIV joins the lineup with G'raha Tia and Y'shtola Rhul! These are based on the actual swimwear worn by the characters--a friend was kind enough to supply me with references. :3
G'Raha Tia will be appearing on stream this Friday, so please look for...
Hey, y'all~
Figured I'd fill y'all in on what's going on. If you're in certain hobbyist circles (e.g. figure collecting, tokusatsu fan) or an artist that sells merch, you're likely aware of the de minimis exemption being repealed effective August 29, 2025.
If you're not aware, here's the gist of it: for a while, any imports to the...
Hey, y'all! It's time for the rundown on what influenced the June illustration for the Copic Challenge.
June featured another OC of mine, Atsuko Akiyama. Her pose was based on the photo seen in this set, and the sky was inspired by a photo I took one evening. Fun fact, though--the photo was run through a filter! Originally I had planned ...
Yep this is totally random and definitely isn't a means of gauging which 2 characters will see merch next 😇

Alright, y'all. I'm back at it!
If you're looking at these pages and thinking "there's barely been any progress", well, you're absolutely right. I've barely been able to work on this one-shot as I only very recently got back to work on this--I'm talking this past weekend recently. When I had to put off last month's progress report, it was...
Hello, lovelies! It's time for another installment of Merch Updates, where I show proofs of merch currently in production! For those of you new to my patreon, this is my way of being transparent with everyone about where your money is going--it helps make merch like stickers, charms, standees, pins, mini prints...so many things possible!
A little while back I showed off a couple of Tekken pieces for Street Fighter x Tekken featuring Hwoarang + Steve and Bob + Julia, as well ...
2025-08-09 19:30:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey, y'all! I'm looking into more merch options to add down the line. Some of you may recall that I've got plans for stationery, which is still in the process of happening (and a proper progress report will drop on that later this month), and I'm working on more tote bag designs.
In the meantime, tho--what other kinds of merch would you b...

Here's the next round of characters appearing in the Final Fantasy Summer art series! There were 6 drafts planned, but 2 aren't quiiiite ready yet as I had other deadlines to commit to 😅
I'm nearly caught up, and can start putting time back into this project!
The next round includes Gladio, Jill, and brings in Final Fantasy X repres...
...this one was cutting it close.
This was the most challenging one--not because of the backgrounds this time, but because I had two illustration deadlines that were around the same time as this one! 😱I managed to pull this one off, but I did take a few shortcuts in the process (which I'll explain when I post the behind-the-scenes).
Took me long enough 😵💫
Apologies for the wait on discussing the behind-the-scenes on May's Copic Challenge--I had been tied up in a lot more projects than I should have taken on. The good news is, I'm nearly on the other side of it, yayyy!
Anyway, let's talk about this piece! It shares similarities with March and April's p...
Hey, y'all! Just letting you know that I've received proofs for the upcoming Big the Cat TRANS RIGHTS sticker! These stickers will be glossy and measure 3.92in x 4.08in/9.95cm x 10.4cm!
These stickers will be manufactured by Sticker Ninja, and are estimated to arrive in early August. As of this writing, the stickers are in production! Al...
Hey, y'all!
Figured I'd update y'all on the progress of the Final Fantasy Summer art campaign! The past three weeks saw work started on Tifa, Lightning, and Noctis--however, between week 2 and 3, I began to consider a colouring style change.
This consideration came about as I worked on Lightning--I wasn't feeling completely satisf...
Last month I unveiled a few Tekken sticker designs inspired by the art style of the Pop'n Music games--as promised, I'm expanding the line wi...

Work is already underway for this month's Copic Challenge! This features 3 OCs; 2 of whom have already appeared in previous Copic Challenges. The one front and center? You'll get to learn about her soon enough (I mean, more beyond she clearly enjoys pizza, lol). For once, I'm not going for a super-detailed background...

...okay, so. There's not really much to report on for this month. Or rather, there technically is, but that burn out I mentioned in the general progress report was a lot worse than I realised.
I mentioned that I had to scrap a whole scene and redraw it. That's been coming along, but I was pushing myself to work on it to the point the str...
Hey, y'all! It's time for another progress report to fill y'all in on what's going on!
First and foremost, I need to be honest with everyone. I'm starting to feel burnt out. This is completely my own fault as I've been trying to do too much--creating merch, the monthly Copic challenge, comic work, collab projects, streaming...I've been st...
Hey, y'all! This is your last call to reserve your June reward!
This will be a big (heh) glossy sticker meant to be displayed proudly!
Hello~!
This one's for those of you on the Free Tier--I'm announcing the next artwork set/reward set, which focuses on Final Fantasy characters in a summer/beach setting! Six characters have already been revealed for it on the paid tiers, and for y'all on the free tier I'm giving y'all a little peek at what's to come with Noctis and Tifa-...
It is the end of March.
"I'm not going to put as much detail in the next Copic Challenge."
It is the end of April.

It is the end of May.
"I'm not going to put as much detail in the next Copic Challenge."

I just can't seem to resist, th...
Hey, y'all! I know this is quite late for a monthly reward, but I'm finally taking reservations for this sticker! Reservations will be open through July 5th! These stickers will be on the big (heh) side, measuring at roughly 5in/12.7cm!
I'll be reaching out to Sticker Ninja once again to take care of this order!
I'll be posting a p...
Inspired by the reception of the Easter Bois campaign, I've decided a summer collection is in order! This time, the girls get to play too! Various FF characters are spending a relaxing time at the beach (or the pool)!
Characters featured so far include Aerith, Clive (I just think the idea of someone whose primarily fire-based noshing on shav...
They're here! The first round of acrylic standees are here, and they turned out pretty good, considering it's my first time making 'em!
This round consists of Elphelt from Guilty Gear Strive, Kazuma Kiryu of Yakuza/Like a Dragon, and Noctis Lucis Caelum of ̷T̷e̷k̷k̷e̷n̷ ̷7̷ Final Fantasy XV!
Elphelt and Kiryu are roughly ...

EDIT 6.22.25: Okay, so I wasn't completely satisfied with how this turned out as I missed the loop holes in the belt and felt that Big needed to be a little bigger. What you see before you is the amended artwork! If you've already downloaded the high-res unwatermarked artwork, you're welcome to download the amended version as w...

It's that time again to discuss the progress being made on this comic. I've been showing off this one-shot periodically, and this month brings another update. These pages had yet to be shown--this one shot is about Prompto having a little crush. x3
The page count is smaller this month, but as you can see, there's a fair amount of renderin...
The draft for this month's Copic Challenge is now live! Not content with drawing a car in March's piece, I'm gonna draw TWO cars!
Continuing the trend of adding a little hometown flavour to the city my OCs live in, we see a legally distinct™ Waffle House ("Waffle Shack"). Will any fights take place there? You'll have to find out. 😛...
Last year, I created a special illustration of Tekken's Lucky Chloe using an art style that was unlike anything I had done but one I wanted to try (the second image in this set)--the art style is based on Konami's Pop'n Music games, a fun little rhythm game from their BEMANI line of rhythm games (some of their more famous ones including Dance Da...

For April's Copic Challenge, I wound up coming up with the pose myself, opting to do a little something with perspective.
Where the references come in are with the puddles--I knew I had wanted to include a reflection of the sky in them, so I went out and took some photos of puddles after some rainfall (it's been a rather rainy 2025...

Another month of the Copic Challenge is officially in the books! his one took some considerable work as, once again, I couldn't help myself with the background. 2025-05-31 19:30:01 +0000 UTC View Post
