Commission – InkdNPrcdAngl

This is a commission I did for u/InkdNPrcdAngl of her and her boyfriend, done up in a “Bonnie and Clyde” style gangsters. She absolutely loved it, and definitely appreciated me taking the time to put this together! I’ve admittedly not drawn stuff from this era before, so this was pretty interesting to work on, to say the least.

The Little Detective – Art Process

I’m sorry I don’t have the footage for the character to go for this (I didn’t plan to do a video of this), but I was doing free drawings for people on Reddit, and I offered u/concerned_squirtle to do a full backgrounded piece for his character. I figured it was good practice for me instead of relying on stock photos for backgrounds, so stab at it I did. This was the result.

I know another Redditor really liked the noir look of this, and that is exactly what I was aiming for. While her attire doesn’t match, that was the tone I was going with. Now just add some old city jazz from this, and you got yourself a story.

The original art piece can be seen here!

Giga Mermaid Yeehaw – K_Veikur

So Wayc and I have a joke about the Giga Mermaid from the Shantae games, being a tad bit adventurous. One agreed scene is her going “Yahoo” or “Yeehaw” to some degree. I absentmindedly had posted over to r/ICanDrawThat for someone to possibly draw this idea.

 

And I apparently got a taker! k_veikur graciously drew up Giga Mermaid going “Yeehaw!”. Both wayc and I were thrilled, and couldn’t have asked for a better portrayal.

50 Facebook Followers – Thank You Art

A few days ago, I hit 50 followers on my Facebook page. Took me quite a bit, but looks like it’s finally getting some attention! As such, I drew them this as a thank you, with some mascots around a modified EA-6B Prowler. I was very happy with it for a few reasons, mostly for creating a background from scratch!

Birthday Gift – CMDR Taranava

This is more birthday art, this time for online buddy CMDR Taranava!

 

We have a joke about people that join MobiusPVE, attack players then feign ignorance. We call them Goldfish CDMRS, due to the perceived short memory of our “no PVP” rule. If you’re wondering why this is perceived as fishy (no pun intended), our group is all about no PvP. That’s the reason the group exists, and its very public knowledge of what it’s about. Someone joining Mobius then doing said actions are quickly scrutinized; you don’t join an well-known PvE server to do PvP.

 

That laid out, here we have Taranava taking care of unruly goldfish, Imperial Saber being put to good use. Having greeted them at the landing pad, she only finds out about the new players’ true origins, dispatching of them quickly.

 

This was actually based on another admin’s suggestion, requesting that I had her and some of her maids battling goldfish CMDRs. Looks like I may need to do a part 2 to fulfill his request.

Imperial Guardsman Wife – Pussycat91

This was a sort of practical joke I did for someone who wanted a drawing of their wife yesterday. They asked for them to be drawn in a pinup format, but I instead drew them as a Cadian Imperial Guardsman. Fortunately he thought it was cute, and the wife thought she looked like she could be the leader in a “badass” comic.

 

Honest I surprised myself, as I got my proportions down pretty good here. The eyes were a great shocker to me as well, though I went for black dots as the person had real dark eyes. I’m slowly getting up to par to do better figures once again.

Time Travel Trio

This was based off an old idea that I’ve been playing around with in 2009, and came to light now that I was posting my Reddit writing prompt involving the two main characters. I never really visualized who their mentor would be, but with some time to think about it, I think she’d look a lot like a Notikan, perhaps even be related to them.

 

Either way, I was happy with the Tomcat, the color palette and getting the characters down. A few people who looked at this got the point straight across; they gathered it was some time travel fantasy story. As long as that point got across, I’m happy.

Heather Halloween Special 2018 – Art Process

This is the art process video for the Heather Halloween Special I wrote on 2018. You can read that here!

The concept for this art and story was based off of someone’s IRL account of their house having this “unnatural” sinkhole in the middle of their house, that always seemed to bend the floor out of shape. Poltergeist-like things and apparitions would always appear around that spot.I had sent the OP the artwork and letting him know I drew inspiration from it, and he thought it was pretty cool. So that was great.

The Mobius PvE Admins – Art Process Video

When I got involved with the Elite: Dangerous Mobius community, it didn’t take long for them to find out about my art. I especially took to drawing one or two of the admins with some of their commentary. Another admin later asked me to do a spread of most of their administrative team. I obliged, and while I had procrastinated on this, finished with this final project!

It’s fun, it gets used on their Facebook page and I still draw stuff for them. I actually do feel like I belong there, and it’s a great player group to play E:D with. o7, CMDR.

I don’t have the original hosted on many of my channels (nor is it posted out in public at the moment), but I’ll see about getting it on my site at least if not elsewhere.
