This was part of an art trade I was involved in earlier this summer. Benit149 drew Britney from Space Raptors as a chibi, as I was supposed to draw one of her characters in return. It’s so adorable, and quite cute! Do check out their stuff here.

Space Raptors Fanart Request – Tonks_92
When I was getting my feet wet back on the deviantART community, an artist by the name of Tonks_92 drew this picture from my Space Raptor stories. I liked it a whole lot, my cousin liked it a whole lot. In fact, he had it printed out and pasted to his computer hutch for a number of years. This is still a special piece for me because it kind of captures my ambition and ideal of the story for the time.
Space Raptors Request – OKHero
This is a long blast from the past, when I was asking around on deviantART for people to draw my characters, this fellow did a pretty interesting take on my Jennifer OC and my main character out of the Space Raptors story.
Sadly the artist’s dA page is deactivated and I have no idea what happened to him, but if I recall his art style correctly, he did some pretty amazing stuff. I like to think he made it somewhere big doing illustrations.
Jennifer Request – Kasailan
This is an amazing request that Kasailan did of my Jennifer character. I’m totally blown away with it. She looks so real and yet has that anime touch to it! Thanks a bunch.
Xudos Battleship
I decided to give this a stab after doing my Starfighter Dragoon piece. This is a Xudos battleship, based on the SE3 shipset that my brother had made. Can use some tweaks but am mostly happy with it.
Space Raptors – Larina
Just got done doing this. Hopefully digitizing my art becomes a habit!
It’s not landing the same effect as people I’m seeing on deviantART, so I just need the freedom, time and tools to go forward with it properly. That’s not happening with the way things are going on at home right now. There’s a few bits that still bug me, so I’ll probably just upload the sketch version too.
Anywhozles, meet Larina! A non-combatant sidekick for the Space Raptors team (despite the pistol saying otherwise), Larina’s basically a knock-off space princess of a small world out in the boonies. Snark, charm and less serious to balance the group’s dynamic.
I definitely took a little bit of inspiration from Meer Campell for the outfit design, but added my own sci-fi flair to make it a bit less showgirl.
I have other doodles of her around the place, I’ll see if I can get them up someday.
Starfighter Dragoon X
This was my 3rd attempt at spaceship pixel art back when I was starting to feel comfortable doing digital art. I took a lot of inspiration from Starblade and Project Dragoon in its design, wanting something sleek and more airplane looking. Done in MS Paint and with a trackball mouse!
Star and Saturn N80 Pulse Blaster Rifle
Decided to try my pixel-art style to something else other than ships; such as weapons! My primary weapon of choice for stuff like Space Raptors and such; a Star and Saturn N80 Pulse Blaster Rifle.
Features include ammo counter, guaranteed vacuum performance and a built in flashlight/tactical laser.
Sorry it’s not in much of a bigger resolution; my MSPaint tends to conk out when the file gets to a certain size.
GRF Andromeda
This is an older piece that I redid with my newfound art skills of this year. I was very happy how this turned out, especially after bringing my imaginary childhood ship to life. I thought the “pixeling” of ships was limiting and rudimentary, but it was definitely much more pleasing to look at, over my not-so-good-anime drawings I was attempting.
This is something I’ll be trying in the future again. Let’s see if it’ll stick around.
Scarlet Fury
Just at the beginning of summer I did this for my sister; she wanted artwork of a character in a story she was writing, known as Scarlet Fury. So I drummed this up one afternoon.
I wasn’t too happy with how the feet came out, but I love the details I put into the background. She liked that about the piece as well, apparently.
Maybe one of these days I’ll actually get this colored. I don’t usually do full scenes.
