Morrigan and Lilith
Ok so, I didn't plan on getting back before drawing the last Character poll selection (Liara T'Soni, if you remember) but Udon Entertainment has announced a Fanart contest which ends on the 3rd of January, and since I won't be home for the holidays, I had to squeeze this one out before everything, as fast a...
October News + Sketch (spooky)
Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well.I come today with a lot of news, some good, some bad, some so-so, etc.But more importantly, I will need your opinion on something.I will be as brief as I can, but the renovation is taking a lot longer than expected. Mostly because the professionals we hired cannot read a...
Good news - The end is in sight !
So, as some of you might know (if you follow me on my alt. Twitter @SadGanger) there has been some huge progress regarding the house we bought !The judge finally signed the papers we sent them and now, the next step for us is a meeting on the 14th of September with our notary to officially hand us the keys. Now, while ...
Some NSFW sketches
In order of appearance; Vulnapie, Felia and Keskileene. Please thank The_Mute_Cynic once more, for allowing me to post some content during this hiatus !(Also, I got some news about the house ! but I'll make a separate post for it.)
Some colored sketches
In order of appearance; Senri, Felicia and Alexandria. They are characters owned by The_Mute_Cynic, who's been supporting me for quite a long time with the "Macaron Du Chef" tier ! It is thanks to him that I'll have a few things to post even during my hiatus so, huge thanks again !(There hasn't been...
2021 Hiatus - Important News
Alright, I mentioned it before and here we are. I have to officially announce that starting on the first of August, I will be on hiatus. That is because -as some of you might know already- my family and I are moving. Thing is, it isn't going very well. (More details below.)How long will the hiatus be ?It will last ...
Sponty (NSFW OC Commission)
Woo~I'm finally done with this commission !Three months of back-and-forth and multiples delays later, it is complete. I liked working on it, the client was very nice and I liked this character but... Three months, wow.I'll admit I contemplated the idea of giving up and refunding them multiple times. But again, ...
Catching Waves
I tried to make this as colorful as I could, all while making sure the values still made sense and now that it is done... I'm not sure what to think. I'm glad I went through with the "vibe" I got, it was fun to experiment with a more daring palette but I think it still lacks a little "oomph", so...
Little WIP and Important News !
Hello everyone, and sorry for not posting much anywhere lately, but I can promise you it was not because of laziness !First things first: I felt like sharing this WIP because I decided to allow myself to go a little more crazy with the colors this time, and even if the shading isn't done yet, I'm really feeling...
Fresh Ink
I wanted to push the lights and rendering a little further than usual and thought some UV paint could work here... It was kind of a last minute addition (as you might see the sketch and the colors didn't really start like this) but as I was working on it, my Aqua drawing got mistaken for Kajinman's work (again....
May WIP's and bonus sketches !
Alright so, I know I'm still a little low on content lately, but I've prepared the sketch for Marina (1) and the client has validated the flat colors for the Sponty commission (2), which means that I should be able to finish both before next month (if all goes well) !Also, have some bonus sketches (3&4) ! I pro...
Apolonio Marín Adhemar (Mermay OC)
Here is something that was fun to work on ! I asked people on Twitter for elements to build an OC for Mermay and this is what came out of it.(Here is the template I used, in case you'd like to use it too)I know people don't follow me for male pin-ups (which definitely shows given the lukewarm reception he got t...
Bun-Li and Foxy Han (Get it ?)
Nah sorry, I have no idea how to call this one. I guess the base idea is too silly anyway, I'll have to go with something that makes more sense next time.
April WIP's (2 Sketches + 1 Timelapse attached)
Alright so, since I haven't been able to post some finished pieces in a while, I thought I'd let you know once again that I *am* working on some stuff ! (Quite a lot simultaneously to be honest.)So there is the Chun-Li x Juri rough sketch from last month's poll and also, a clean sketch for the last commissi...
Morrigan X Bayonetta (Commission)
Phew~I did it !It was challenging but I found a way to make it work, that the client liked and that I am quite proud of too. (I tried to go for a mix of soft and hard edged shading, while trying to keep a better 'control' over my colors and I think it worked pretty well !)
Commission WIP (Sketch + Timelapse)
Alright, so I know I don't often share WIP's but I feel like it would make sense here (since I previously mentioned I'd have a slower art output for the upcoming times... gotta post some content somehow~) This is the penultimate commission I got and it is going to be a fairly challenging one so... wish me l...

Belle & Funky (Ms Bellum)
It seems that every time I try to meddle with a soft rendering technique, I feel the need to come back to strong, hard edged cel-shading immediately after. It is what comes to me most naturally after all but I still tried to go a little "further" with the colors this time. Tried to make it "pop" a littl...
Slow and busy times ahead (?)
Hello everyone ! I hope you are all doing fine.I am writing this post because there are a few things I've been wanting to address for a while now.You might have noticed that February has not been my most productive month. There are multiple reasons for that, and while I don't really like sharing too much of my ...

Anti-Aqua's Special Night
As promised, a small alternative version from my last drawing !
Aqua's Special Day
Aqua getting ready for a special day !I'm still trying to meddle with my rendering style, constantly hesitating between hard-edged cel-shading and softy-softness... but I'll just keep drawing and see where it goes for now.(I'm also preparing a small alt.version for this, so stay tuned !)

Her Majesty's Oasis
Welp, I tried something a little different with the rendering this time. I tried to keep a hard-edged cel-shading for everything but the skin, which I tried to make look "smoother" than usual (using almost only soft-edged brushes for the specular highlights). I think it worked pretty well, but your opinion on t...
Happy Holidays !
A little late for Christmas, but I couldn't finish 2020 without drawing my OC Miss Tira one more time, Happy Holidays everyone !
Lisa Minci (Genshin Impact)
Well, that one sure was long overdue.I knew going back to a full drawing after a month-long break would be a little tough, but hopefully I managed to make this look decent enough... Hope you like it !Also, I wanted to credit Umeko J (@umekoj0910 on Twitter) for the alternative costume design since I loved her cosplay, ...

Monthly sketch commission for TheMuteCynic !
Hiatus update
Hello everyone !As we’re reaching the half of this month of November, I thought I could give you all a little update on my hiatus. So, let me start this by saying that I do feel a lot better today. I also feel like I should be able to resume things pretty soon.So far, this “break” has been pretty intense for me. ...
Now on hiatus
Hello everyone.As you might have guessed from the title, I have decided to go on hiatus (for an undetermined length of time.)I have previously mentioned on my Twitter that I wasn’t feeling the best mentally and unfortunately, it hasn’t gotten any better. I could go on and explain why I don’t like what I do, why I...
