Moumou Begins (WIP)

Asketh and ye shall receive!(based on the poll results; Thank you all who voted!)Trying for something different (again). Ever seen any lianhuanhua? Thsoe are cool

Once again I have too many ideas bouncing in my head, so I'm leaving it up to you guys to decide what I should be drawing next!This time the Poll is open to All Patron tiers!I have a one-track mind, so in fear of getting too repetitive with the options, I also added a 7th option, where you can suggest something else to draw. The rules are nothing too unreasonably complex, and other people vocally agree to the suggestion with their own comment...

神兵鬼卒 AKA the Heavenly Soldier Boys

Gonna kick some demon ass.Inspiration hit when I suddenly remembered the awesome "搜山图"-paintings again (which I tweeted about back in March!), where all the Heavenly Soldiers were these monstrous orcish dudes hunting down demons.They're awesome.

Legionary Extraordinary "Siege"- Short, preview (pg. 4-5, out of 7)

Still chipping away at it. It is the comic-making grindset. One inked and one still wip (I'll get to it!)I gave Aelana (Previously seen in Legionary Extraordinary 2!) a slight haircut. Mostly 'cause it felt a little silly having a character who had hair just similar enough with Yedocia that drawing it always pauses me hahaha.My friend told I should extend the comic a bit for its second half, to elaborate on some details, and perhaps I sho...

A book reference that's obvious

Fun fact: That is also the actual cover of the original book as it was released back in the day!

Qin and Guan + some WIPs

More of them + some WIPs. Drawing out Guan Qinglang and Qin Bailing's goofy rivalry is funny, they rub each other the wrong way in all the right ways; Rugged vs. Scholarly, loose vs. uptigh, Naturalist vs. Traditionalist, lowbrow vs. highbrow, Shandong vs. Shanxi, short vs. tall, etc.Also:What do you think they were whispering about?

Bubblegum Crisis Linna & Nene

The last two of the Knight-Sabers have been illustrated!Drawing in Sonoda's style has so far been more relaxing than Sakura Wars/Kousuke Fujishima's style hahaha.

Legionary Extraordinary "Siege"- Short, preview (pg. 1-3, out of 7)

It has been an inexcusably long time since the last time I drew Legionary Extraordinary related anything, and sieges had been in my mind for a while (as evident by that Young Samus comic).My goal this year is to start drawing more comics more often, and I will try my best to keep it!I often think about the anecdote of how most of the time being in the military, across any given era, is just nothing but waiting (anxiously or otherwise). I figure d...

floating Moumou

shhh she's floating

Qi, Qin and Guan!

They're good friends sometimes!Trying to get that "printed anime magazine scan look" is still a goal that escapes my grasp. Perhaps one day I can do so perfectly with digital tools, but for now this will have to do.(Open to all suggestions though if you have any!

(WIP) Qi, Qin and Guan

As my academic (lesbian) roommate calls it: "When your friends are both adults but somehow bring the child in each other."I am very addicted to drawing these characters now. I need to direct that energy to projects too!

Requests #5

As requested, here are the three characters! Brax was the hardest to get right, unsurprisingly given there's a real person behind it this time. Sumire Kanzaki but in PGSM Rei Hino's outfit - Sakura Wars Irwing Braxiatel - Doctor Who / Bernice Summerfield Schokolade - Jormungand

"Teenager with attitude" - Metroid short comic about when Samus was young and rebellious

This took an embarrassingly long time, but its here now.I like to imagine Samus is always on a fundamentally different wavelength than others, though as her younger self she'd still have that "youthful invinsibility"-mentality manifested as someone who is very self-assured & "knows" she is better (which she kinda is hahaha). She does come across very obnoxious overachiever wunderkind without really trying to hahaha.

REQUEST THREAD #5

Time for our 5th Request Thread! where you get to make an art request by commenting below!As before, please keep them on the simple side, so nothing complicated like multiples of characters or backgrounds. I'm only taking three of my choosing this time.

Moumou drawings

In between everything, I did more drawings of Moumou, that one VHS mascot I had designed.Sometimes I wonder if I should quit drawing in this wannabe old school anime style before it overtakes me, but its too fun and I am a decadent hedonist so...

Young Samus WIP (pg1-2)

Thank you for your patience, sorry for the lack of updates. Been chipping away at this simultaneously with some commission work and other comic project been working on. Drawing comics always turn out longer than planned, no matter how long. Need to work on that definitely.Noticed in myself that, while drawing regular character drawings have been painless, drawing comics themselves is right now like pulling teeth sometimes. But on the other hand, ...

That One Anime Chinese Girl (again)

Probably the dumbest character for me to draw again"Then why did you draw her?"I dunno I think its funny.

Bubblegum Crisis Priss & Sylia

It is done. Drawing in the Bubblegum Crisis style was fun, and got to draw the Knight-Sabers' Hardsuits, always a great joy. Will I draw Nene and Linna at some point too? We'll see if I get the sudden inspiration/impulse to do so.I also recently found a fun VHS filter to experiment with. This is definitely one of the more convincing ones I've found, and its interesting to see how much colour-distortion happens when you put through thi...

(WIP) Young Samus pg1-3 (out of 6)

planning out nice layouts is not easy, but it is a challenge I will have to take to grow strong

BGC sketches (Priss & Sylia)

Drawn when 36th anniversary of Bubblegum Crisis hit.Surprisingly, drawing in Kenichi Sonoda's style of this time was a lot easier than I imagined. I guess practising the Sakura Wars style really got me tuned in on how proportions should go, plus I've always had a lot of Sonoda's 80s stuff in my inspirational folders.This will be great when I get to draw pics of my TRPG group I'm GMing! (yes, we're playing a Bubblegum Crisis RP...

Devilman Lady (the anime one)

Sudden hellish urge to (semi-)revive this format again. Devilman Lady, or Devil Lady hits pretty Hard (but only the anime, everything about the OG manga just slid off my brain long ago lol)Would highly recommend if you want to watch the journeys of The Most Suffering Woman Ever in Maximum Women's Toxicity Hours.

Past comics now Available at your own price!

Just a quick announcement that I've made the prior Legionary Extraordinaries on a "Pay What You Want"-basis digitally. So you can pick it up if you haven't prior!You can also download the prior Rescue-Knight comics here below in the attachments:

various Guan Qinglang drawings

Various drawings from various sessions. She's one of the hardest to draw but ironically my favourite to draw, evidently.The third one I like the least, so I will have to draw a better one later down the line.

Young Samus comic Start!

5 pages short comic START!Haven't done Young Samus in a while, so here's a quickie to feel things out:

@ Tallon IV

That Metroid Prime Remastered looked pretty damn sweet, to the point I am actually pretty close in considering buying it hahahaTried to feel things out, but didn't quite go as I would've liked. Eh, at least I drew another Samus.Which will be quite useful, as I go on to doing that comic I promised!

Being a Captain is Hard - Shanghai Combat Revue 1927

Finally something with our boy Wu Shuang. Its not a Sakura Wars if the captain is not having a hard time to some degree hahaha.Who do you think Wu Shuang should hang out with the most? W̶h̶o̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶e̶s̶t̶ ̶g̶i̶r̶l̶.***Also, remember to vote in the comic poll!

Poll #4: Comic Edition!

Hello everyone!Time for another poll, first time in a long time and I had an idea. For this time, I decided to challenge myself and try actually making more comics (short ones) for a change.Hopefully one I can finish in under 30 days or so, gives me a good incentive to actually make things simpleKeeping it to the things I've had ideas for; options are as follows:

Shanghai Revue Uniform

Need to pick up some slack. Will be doing more soon hopefully.In the meantime, here are some small drawings of the uniform front and back.The mask and goggles mostly came about 'cause I thought it'd fit with my idea as proposed in my Wu Shuang drawing previously that the uniforms of the Shanghai Team is essentially made to a bit more protective (the jacket is more of a body-armor for example) and contain more redundant bits than other tea...
