A Valentine’s commission from one of my raid members, of his girlfriend’s character.

Commission for http://almonihah.deviantart.com/ of his oc Iolar

Wip Been dealing with an awful artist block for months. I just keep erasing or deleting everytging. The only thing I've been able to work on is a pet portrait, but that's realism, that's easy. Found a picture of some baby fixes being held, and thought their poses were perfect for a flying pose.

Work in progress~ drawn on the Medibang Paint app

Work in progress of my late Noroc, who past away last August. It’s been awfully difficult working on this at times. I say it’s about 80% done is. Will eventually get it printed.

Drawn on the Medibang Paint app

Finished  this <3 Will be getting it printed and framed <3 My beautiful Noroc will never be forgotten.  Done with the Medibang Paint Pro app on Samsung Tab A 10.1 with S pen.

Idk what to do with the background, so just drew some float marks to add to the disorganization of the feathers. I somehow like drawing winged animals o3o Lesson learned from this: don't just draw creature without a plan for the background, even if they won't have one afterword x.x

Wip of request I took. Wanted someone else's idea to get me back into the swing of drawing creatures.

More nouveau winged cat wip. Still planning this out.

I’ve been fascinated with coyotes lately. Must be the eyes.

An optical daisy damask design. Played with the filters a good bit o3o. Made in Medibang Paint Pro.

Was drawing some leaves and flowers.

Absolutely love the Chain's hannya mask, and when he switches to that mask o3o

My lovely Heart once again. I love drawing her. Working on a giclee print of her <3

I love doodling a lot. Started this one and thought it needed to be finished completely.

There are a lot of goofy cat posts I've liked on Tumblr, and I've been wanting to draw some. This poof cheek loaf kitty is from https://twitter.com/curiouszelda?lang=en

Was looking for dogs and cats I wanted to draw, and I came across this lovely dog on Tumblr. Had to draw him. I recorded the process of this, and will post it to my YouTube soon.

I've had this one file with like 3 wips, decided to work on the first image a bit. Wanted to share them, cause I legit don't know when I'll get them done.

Hatterene Redesign

I latched onto the idea hard. Had to do it. 

I love Hatterene, she's on my playthrough team on Shield, and she'll be on my Sword playthrough too. But I'm not a fan of her body underneath. And the overly shapely figure. With Grimmsnarl and Hatterene, there is lots of hypermasculinity and hyperfemininity. I don't have a problem with Grimmsnarl's representation of it. Or his body underneath. I can still tell, he is strong regardless of his hair. With Hatterene, her physical body is subjectively unequal to Grimmsnarl. Its not a "she's not pretty still underneath," its a " rebalancing the feminity" ??? I think. 

I gave her a more proportional body to match her height, changed her dress to be more witch-like, and change her hair to resemble a cloak. My thought was Gothal's cloak from Tangled.

Go to this link to see all the details of it >https://www.deviantart.com/.../Realistic-Hydreigon-899563196

I have been drawing/doodling hydreigon for almost a year. I need to get this stuff off my tablet and post it X.X Anyway, I guess I go thru phases where I latch onto drawing a specific pokemon for months, and that is how this came about.

My reasoning behind the route I chose:I had wanted to try doing scales for the head, but I just couldn't get it work with the back of the head and the transition to the purple/magenta. So, I decided to go with feathers. I thought of crows for most of it at first. All the birds I referenced: Crows, ravens, harpy eagles, cockatoos, and cassowaries. For the head, I referenced utahraptors and other dromaeosaurs for the structure of the head. Going with the crest of a harpy eagle I think was the best decision to get that shape. I struggled a good bit to convey the blue skin and blue feathers, and make it distinguishable. I had to make a few brushes, like the pores and the skin texture on the snout. When I finally got it, I had a Mandark laugh moment XD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiGIQrt1IaE  Also, sorry that its just 1 of the heads. I'm going to have all 3 heads be the same.

I've been trying to figure how I want to draw hydreigon's body realistically, and it has been a struggle legit. Its going to be this giant crazy looking crow/dragon thing, this seraph, wyvern, hydra, ALL of them, looking thing, hot-mess express, BUT!! we'll get there soon. It'll have to be a sketchdump cause my doodles have gone on a journey. A realistic bald hydreigon would look like something out of a horror movie.. with all those heads and wings.
