Time for a new update!! Last month it was Final Fantasy, this month I'm dedicating to its younger cousin, Kingdom Hearts!! Specifically the enemies from the series, each one representing a different game!

To begin with, from KH1 we have the Screwdiver from Atlantica

Next representing Chain of Memories we have the Tornado Step at the Castle Oblivion recreation of Destiny Islands

Coming in third we have KH2's Strafer from Space Paranoids

Next up representing KH 358/2 Days is a Mega Shadow at Twilight Town, I had to do some manipulation to get the colour of the photo correct but I'm really happy with how it turned out!!

Next are two Unversed from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, we have the Hareraiser in Dwarf Woodlands and the Mandrake in Radiant Garden.

Finally a representative from Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, the Ryu Dragon, from Symphony of Sorcery, this has to be the coolest enemy design in the series!

I might start my Summer break next month because its really getting hot here so my motivation to draw is getting low, on top of not knowing what I want to draw next, so I'll see you all in September!!

New update everyone!! Today's post is dedicated to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, a game I've known about for a long time but this month I managed to beat the game's story for the first time! Specifically, these are the Moogle classes from the game. We have from left to right: Thief, Black Mage, Animist, Mog Knight, Gunner, Gadgeteer, Juggler and Time Mage.

Time for another update!!! This time its focused on Digimon, since some friends got me back into it!

Here we have Gabumon, Patamon, Gammamon, Renamon, Gomamon, Flamemon, Veemon and Terriermon! The Terriermon pic is significantly older, but I think its still cute and fits the theme, so hey I can repost it!

First update of the year!! Hello everyone, so for this week I have tried something brand new! YCH, or Your Character Here, is where an artist draws a rough sketch of a character, which I can then draw someone's character onto for a cheap price. I'm not the most comfortable when it comes to offering art for money, but I would like to get into it.

So here is my first batch of YCHs:

Not many I admit, but hopefully these will be enough to get started, if anyone sees this please share it with your friends! I'm offering 10 dollars per picture!!

[alexmagnei]

Happy 2025 everyone!! So to finish off the year with a bang, I would like to reveal several of my plans for next year.

First of all, I will be getting a 3D printer that will allow me to create figurines of characters I would like to draw. I have some experience with 3D modelling, taking photos of them in various environments will allow me to see the shading on the model, which I can then trace, hopefully getting better in turn at shading characters without needing a visual reference. This should improve my art quality significantly.

Next, I want to announce that I will be working on a new chapter for my very own webcomic, which I've been working on for the last 4 years, its up to chapter 5 and chapter 6 will be a big one with a ton of story reveals and worldbuilding. You all can find it here

Another thing I am keen to do is open commissions for people to have their characters drawn with them or in locations that are special to them. I will start with requesting 10 dollars per picture and adjust the pricing according to what people recommend. I will open 10 slots per month and we'll see if any of them get filled.

As for IRL news, I am going to be moving house next Summer from Manchester in central England to Lydney in southern England, I've visited the place twice now and both times I've been very impressed by how friendly people are there. Its a quiet town within distance of a bigger city, and you all can expect to see photos of the place in my art later this year.

These are the primary announcements I have to make this year, I wish you all an awesome 2025, as I'm sure I will!! And again thank you everyone for the attention my art has gotten over the last year ^_^ take care all of you!!

Happy Xmas everyone!! I'm sorry I haven't managed to get all 10 pics done by today, again I only managed to get 8 done, my motivation is never at its highest at this time of year but never mind. I'm happy to present the gifts I did manage to finish:

First up two of my followers here on Tumblr, @cleridwen and @electrosheep3000 !!

Next, some friends from friendly Discord communities I joined this year who have helped make the year fun for me, we have Proto from the Ori community, CalmLittleStar from the closed species Curio community and LilDitzyDoodle from the @hasaniwalker fan community!!

Next we have 3 special long time friends of mine: @almiuxfloc 's zora Anemos, my close friend Tiffany's dragon Tiffy and last but not least, a pair of long distance lovers who shall hopefully next year tie the knot, Wes the Loch Ness Monster and @fuyutheredpanda 's My Singing Monsters Sona!!!

I hope you've all had a great day and I'll post the rest of the gifts once I've gotten around to it, take care everyone and thank you all again!!

Sorry for the fast update but since Christmas is coming up, I want to dedicate this month to you guys my followers and good friends!! With that said, I'm offering to draw your OCs enjoying a cruise holiday together!! I'm going on a Christmas cruise holiday with my Mum in a week and you bet I'm taking my camera! I'll be drawing the first 10 OCs that you guys post in the comments of this post!! I'll see about drawing more after if there's still time :) I hope I get plenty of responses, though if I don't I'll find something else to draw this month. Hope to hear from y'all in regards to this!!

Happy December everyone!!

This year I've prepared something new for my art blog. Anyone heard of open species? The idea is one artist comes up with a basic critter design, then allows other artists to design their own, which they can do for free so long as they let the original species creator know. In this case we have artist Suncix's species the tiny imps known as Ikytomos!! These are all owned by different people so I'll be giving credit to those who own the characters I've drawn.

First of all 2 designs owned by Suncix themself:

Orion & Tina

Next are designs owned by myself, Wyatt the blue one being a design I came up with myself whilst the brown one Candycorn was adopted, her design was created by a user called Loner.

Next is a design created by my close friend Tiffany/AlchemyFox/Autumn Lovenix, she has no name yet:

Next is Arcadia, designed and owned by a user called Celeste

Next is Jolah, designed and owned by a user going by Siqnore:

Next is Bruce designed and owned by user bow-iie

Finally is a design created and owned by Loner, Cyrus!

For anyone who's interested in owning one of these tiny babies, join the group Discord server first, and tell Suncix AlexMagnei sent you :)

Happy belated Halloween everyone!! I meant to upload this yesterday but I forgot ^^; so only 8 pictures instead of 10, but never mind, this month is all about Neopets!!

From top to bottom, Kacheek, Lutari, Zafara, Aisha, Blumaroo, Korbat, Bori and Ixi!!

I didn't play Neopets growing up, but I did have a Kacheek toy ^^ hence why I drew it first!!

[alexmagnei]

Quick update for everyone, today's my Birthday ^_^ again apologies for the lack of updates, I have been making some arts but they've been directed toward a friend and because he's featured in them I won't be showing them here, but still I hope you're all well and that I'll manage to have more stuff for you in October!!

[alexmagnei]

Hey everyone, been a while! I feel you all deserve an update on my situation, I took a hiatus from art over the Summer because of the heat. Whilst we're in September the Summer is taking a while winding down and its still pretty hot, that said I have been doing some art related things, nothing worth sharing as of yet though.

That said, I'm willing to experiment with what kinds of content I might like to post here. For example I'd like a way to share my gaming hobby in a way that would be interesting to you guys. To that end I'll make a list of things I might like to try, and I'd like you all to say what interests you the most.

1. Short game analysis: This is where I will be going through a game giving my thoughts on individual levels. They won't be much longer than a youtube short, 30 seconds to a minute, but should give you a good idea of what games I'd recommend you guys play.

2. Lets Plays: A bit time consuming and lengthy to watch, I admit I'm not the best at reacting to games as I tend to keep quiet whilst gaming, but I'm willing to try some things to make them more interesting regardless.

3: Twitch VODs: Self explanatory, I run a Twitch channel and have a lot of fun interacting with my viewers, of course this limits the amount of creator to viewer interaction because I'll be interacting more with my chat more than the viewer of the video, but its easier and more fun for me to make.

4: Character design discussion: This goes two ways, first I could discuss the designs of existing characters within a game, second I could design new characters inspired by the locations in games I play. Whichever sounds more interesting to you all.

5. Music discussion: Whilst I haven't composed music in a long time, its still and important part of games to me. This will be much like number 1 but more focused on music than the games themselves.

6. Machinima: Something I've had little experience with, but could be fun to try, machinima is the art of using gameplay of a game to tell a story. This will likely be the hardest to make though as I'd have to plan out a script among other things, regardless if anyone would be interested I would consider it.

I'll be eagerly awaiting your responses to these ideas, and of course I'll continue posting cute art for you all regardless!! :)

[alexmagnei]

Time I posted a new thing! So the main focus here is pretty much just random designs I came up with on the fly, they're a rainbow of colours and the backgrounds are places I visited with my Mum over the past few months, aside from the Pikachu photo which was taken by a friend over in America. The yellow dog character also uses a background photo taken by a close friend.

[alexmagnei]

So this is the first set of images I've made dedicated to two of my first ever OCs, believe it or not these two date back to 2004 and 2005, the years I first started taking art and character design seriously. So here we have these two, Turquoise the Vaporeon and Lily the Skitty, enjoying a fun day of shopping together before having a McDonalds, then going home and enjoying a cosy evening reading stories :)

Also as a small cameo, I have once again drawn @patricia-taxxon 's Pix & Bit OCs, if you can't see them take a look at the shelf of plushies in the toy store :) I've decided I'll drop these two into image sets now and then, since they're fun to draw and Patricia's work is worth supporting!!

Make sure to read their bios in their profile pictures too!!

[alexmagnei]

Hello everyone, apologies for the lack of updates but I HAVE been working on some new art for you all. This update is entirely dedicated to #Sonicthehedgehog characters that aren't as popular as I wish they could be.

From left to right top to bottom:

Cream the Rabbit, Blaze the Cat, Marine the Raccoon from Sonic Rush Adventure, Chip (AKA Light Gaia) from Sonic Unleashed, Jet the Hawk, Shade the Echidna from Sonic Chronicles, Emerl the Gizoid from Sonic Battle, Tikal the Echidna and Chaos 0 from Sonic Adventure and finally Neutral & Hero Swim Chao from the Sonic Adventure games.

Several of these characters never received more than one game, whilst others have been relegated to supporting roles having little to no use in more recent games in the series. Admittedly Cream is the exception, playing a starring role in the recent Sonic Dream Team, but its entirely likely that she will fall back into relative obscurity.

That said, I also wanted to dedicate this art to showing Sonic characters in the real world who will, likely, never be present in the films' live action universe. So yeah, fans of these characters should be happy to see them enjoying our own world :)

Of course, the Chao are somewhat of an exception of their own, but I think I speak for all of us in the Sonic fanbase when I say that I wish they had a greater role in the series as a whole, there's no Chao Gardens in real life but there sure are Garden Centers :D

[alexmagnei]

So this is the first themed multiple picture post to this blog, expect to see more of these in the future!! So a month ago a friend got me to play Palworld, and I've been hooked since then! Truly a fantastic effort by Pocket Pair!! Here from top left to bottom right we have: Foxparks, Chillet, Lifmunk, Flopie, Daedream, Vixy, Lamball, Dinossom, Anubis and Kelpsea

I'm still experimenting with this, so I hope I did a decent enough job!!

As for the statue behind Vixy, its a statue of Queen Victoria situated in Manchester. Vixy is known as the Queen of Pals, and resembles a Corgi which Queen Victoria was known for loving, so I figured it would be a perfect opportunity

Cilantro Rhythm~

This is a fanart for @patricia-taxxon of her adorable pair of mascots, Bit & Pix!! As you can see, my thing is drawing animated characters in the real world Who Framed Roger Rabbit style, I hope I did a good job on this! ^_^ Also the background photo was taken by me whilst on holiday in Spain last month!!!

Pix doesn't have her orbs, I assumed they were just an accessory anyway, if there's anything else missing in this image do let me know!! I had fun with this, but its now 3:35am, so I should get to sleep XD

Hope you like it Patricia, stay awesome!! ^_^
